RECONSTRUCTION.
Message fram The President.
He Urges Congress to Provide,
Before Adjournment, for the
Admission of Virginia and
mississippi.

WASHINGTON, April Z, l669.-The fol-
lowing message was received from the
President by Congress, st four O'Clock
this afternoon
To the Senate and House OF Representatives:
While 1 am aware that the time In
which Congress proposes now to remain
10 session is very brief, and that il is its
desire, as far as consistent with the pub
lie interest, TO avoid entering upon the
general business Ct legislation, there is
one sutjsct which concerns so deeply the
welfare of the country that 1 deem it
my duty to bring IL before you.
/ have no doubt you will concur with
me in the opinion that it is desirable to
restore the States which were engaged in
the rebellion to their relations to the
Government and the country at as early
3 period as the people OF these States
shall be found willing to become
pescsfuI and orderly communities, and
10 adopt and maintain such constitutions
and laws IS will efieciuslly secure the
civil and political rights Of all persons
within their borders. The authority Of
the United States, which has been vim
dicRted and established by It's military
power, must undoubtedly be asserted for
the absolute protection of all its citizsns
in the full enjoyment Of that freedom
and security which is the object OF Re-
publican Government; but whenever
the people of q rebellious State are ready
70 entertain good faith upon the accom-
plishment of this object in entire con-
formity with the constitutional authority
of Congress, It is certainly desirable that
all causes of irritation e. uld be removed
as promptly as possible ; that q more
perfect union may b. established and
the country restored to peace and pros.
perity.
The Convention OF the people OF Vir-
ginis, which met in Richmond on De-
cember 8, 1857, framed 3 Constitution
for that State, which was adopted by the
Convention on the 18th OF April, 1865,
and I1desire respectfully to call the al
