I have thought it proper, with the approval of the Senate, to concur with the interested commercial power in an agreement lor the liquidtiou of the Scheldt dues upon the principles which have been heretofore upheld, in regard to the Impost. upon navigation in the waters of Denmark. CLAIM AGAINST CHILI. The loo pendiujj rou trovers v between tbi Government and thit of Chili, touching the seizure at Sc-lan. in Peru, by Chilian officers, of a lrge amount in trcisure belonging to citizens of the United States, has been brought to a close bv the award of. Hi, ilajey, tbe King ofthe Helgi.tn, to whote arbitration tbe question waa referred by the parties. The aubject was thorouzhly and patiently examineJ by that justly respected magistrate, and although the sum awarded to the claimants may not have been as large as they expected, there i no reason to distrust the wisdom of His Majetys decision. That lerieiou was promptly complied with by Chili when intelligence in regard to it reached that country. The Joint Commission, under the act of last eeaion for carrying into effect the convention on the iufject of claim, has been organized at Lima, I'cru, and U engaged in the business intrusted to it. Difficulties concerning tbe inter oceanic transit through Nicaragua are in course of aroacable adjustment. THE l'51TKO aTATtS OF COLUMBIA.

Incident occurring in the progress of our civil war hve forced up"n my attention tbe uncertain eute of international questions touching the riglts of freemen in thta country, and of United Slate Citizens abroad. In regard to orjie givernmcnti thec right are at legist partiallly defineil by treaty. In no instance, however, is it expressly sKpuUted that in the instance of civil- war a foreigner residing in this country, within the lines of the insurgents, is t't te exempted from the rule which classes him as a belligerent in whose behalf the government of his couutry cannot expreß auy privilege or immunity from that character. I regret to ay, however, that auch claim have been put forward, and, in some instance, in behalf of foreigners who have lived in tbe United States the greater part of their lives. There is reason to believe that many pcrsoiia born in foreign countries, wlm have dtclaml their intention, to become ritixens. or who have been fully naturalized, hvt evade! the military duty required of them by denying the fact and throwing upon the (lov ertimetit the burden of proof. It li is been found hlhcult or üaracticabie to obtain this proof, from the wmit f goi les to the proper sources of information. These might be nupplied by requiring the clerks of courts w here declaration 'f intcution may be made, or natuiwlization c.Tectcd, to send periolical v lists of the name! of petNons naturalizei or declaring their intention to become citizen, to the Secretary of the Interior, in whoe department these names must be arranged and printel for general inforuiatiou.

I again submit to your consideration the expediency of esablishitg a sjs'em far the eu co'jrgement of emigr tion. Although thi source of national wealth ia again following with greater freedom than for cveral vears before the insurrection occurred, there is ftiil a great deficiency of latiorera in every field of industry, especially in agriculture and in our mines, as well as of iron and coal as of frecious metal. While demand for labor ia thus increased here, tens of thousands of persons, destitute of remunerative occupation, j are thronging our foreign Consulates and offering to emigrate to the United Sutcs if essential but very chesp assistance can be afforded to them. It I easy to see that under the aharp discipline of civil war. the nttion is beginning a new life This noble efllrt demand the aid and ought to receive the attet.tion and support of the Government. i.vjiEits to roiLEiosrna im rcBLic service. Injuries unforeseen by the Government and unintended may in some cases have been in flicted upon the eubjecta or citizens of foreign countries, both at sea and on land, by persons in the rervice of tbe United btAtes. As this Gov ernmcnt expects redres from other powera when similar injuries are inflicted bv persons in their service upon citizens of the United States, we mu3t be prepared to do justice to foreigners. If the existing judicial tribunals are inadequate to this purpore, a special court may be authorized, with power to hear and decide such claims of the character referred to as may have arisen under treaties and public law. Conventions for adjusting claims by your commission have bceu prot6ed to some governments, but no definite answer to these propositions has ytt been received from auy. In course of the session, I shall probably have occasion to request you to provide indemnification to claimants. De crees of restitution have been rendered and damages awarded by the Admiralty Court, and in other cases where this Government may be ac knowledges! to bo liable in principle ind where the amount of that liability has been ascertained by an informal arbitration. TAXl.NO rOEEiGN CONSULS. The proper officers of the Treasury havedeemed themselve-s required by the law of the United States upon the subject to demand a tax upon the incomes of foreign C-wisuls in this country . While such ademand may not bean indication of public law or perhaps, of any existing treaty between the Unite! States aud a foreign country, the expediency of io far tnodifykig the act as to exempt from tax the income of such Consuls as are not citizens of the United States, derived from the emoluments of their office, or from property not .situated in tbe United States, is submitted to your generous consideration. I make this suggej-tion upon the ground that a comity which ought tobe reciprocated exempts our Consuls in nil other countries from taxation. To the extent thus indicated the United States, I thiuk, ought not to be exceptionally illiberal to international trade and commerce. THE NATIONAL BANKING SYSTEM. The operations of the Treasury during the last year have been successfully conducted. The enactment by Congress of a national banking law his proved a valuable support to the public credit, and the general legislation in relation to loans has fully answered the expectations of its favorers. Some amendments may be requried to perfect existing laws, but no change in their principles, or general scope, is believed to be needed. Since these measures have been iu operation all demands on the treasury, including the pay of the army and navy hive been promptly met and fully satisfied. No considerable body of troopa, it is believed, were ever more amply provided, mere liberally and punctually paid, and it may be added that by no people were the bürden incident to a great war more cheer fully borne. CONDITIO OF THE TÄEASCRT. The receipts during the year from all sources, including the loans and the balance in the Treasury at lis commencement were $901 ,125, C74 b6. The aggregate disbursements. $S'J5,7,G3() C5, leaving a balance on the 7th of July. Ifb3, of $532,90-1.421. Of the receipts, there were derired from cutom. $&) ,U59,f-12 40; from internal revenue, $37,6 10,767 U5; from tli rect taxes. $14,510.301; from land. $167,Cl 7 17; from miscellaneous sources, $301,661,535, and from loans, $776.62.361 57; making the aggregate of $y01,112,Gl"S fG. Of the dis bursemcnt., there were $233 ,539 ,222 for peu sions. iic : $421,652,059 for interest on public debt; $247.21)? ,465 01 for war depa-tment; $5!1).23.600 Kl for the navy department; $632, 410,507 for the pivment of fundel and temp ) rriry debt; making an aggregate of $;85,766,630 55, and leaving a balance of $538,904.421 Hut tbe payment of the fundel ami temporatj debt having been made from moneys borrowed during the year, must be regarded as merely nominal payments, aud tlie monies borrowed to make them a merely nominal receipts; and their amount, $15!, 0-6,635 .07, should therefore be deducted from tlie receipts and disbursements. Tbis being done, there remains as actual receipts $71 1,709.995 5? leaving the balance as already stated. The nctual receipts and disbursements for tlie first quarter and the estimated receipts and disbursement for the remaining threequarters of the current fiscal year of lt64, will be rhown in detail by the reports, of the Secretary ol the Treasury to which I invite your attention. It is sufficient to say here, that it is not believed that ihe actual results will exhibit a slate of tbe figures lew formidable to the country thaw the estimates of that officer heretofore sub muted, while it is confidently expected that ;it the close of the yetr both disbursements and debts will he found very considerably lessi than has been anticipated.

I think it my duty to invite your fpocial attention to ibis subject, and also that of establishing a yard and depot for naval purpos upon one of the western rivers. A naval farce has been created on these

Ourcocatry has advantages superior to any other nation, in our resources of iron and timber, with inexhaustible quantities of fuel in the immediate vicinity of both, and all accessible in and in close proximitr to navigable waters, without the advantage of public rUks. The resources of the nation ha?e been developed and its power displayed in the construction of a navy of such magnitude, which has at the very period of its creation rendered signal service to the Union. The increase of the number of seamen in the public service from 7,000 men in the spring of lfc61 to about 24,000 at the present time, has been accomplished with out especial legislation or extraordinary bounties to promote that increase. It has been found, however, that tbe operations of tlie draft, with tbe high bounties paid for army recruits, is beginning to affect ungenerously tbe naral service, aud will, if not corrected, be likely to impair its efficiency bj detaching" peamen from their proper avocation and inducing them to enter tbe army I therefore respectfully eug-re-t that Congress misht aid both the army aia! naval service by adequate provision on tbe subject, should at the same time be equable to the communities more especially interested. I comment to your consideration the suggestions of the Secretary of the Navy in regard to the policv of fostering and training reamen for naval service. The Naval Academy is rendering ?igr nal service in prepariug Mi ithipmen for highly responsible duties, which in alter life they will be required to perform, in order that the country should not be dec rived of the proper quota of ed ueatcd officers for which leg il provision has been made at the Naval School The vacancies caused by the neglect or omiss-ion to make nomination from the States in insurrection have been filled by the Secretary of the Navy. The School is now more full and complete than at any previous period, and in every respect entitled to the fa vorable consideration of Congress. POSTAL AFFAIRS. During the past fiscal year, the financial condi tion of the Poet OfHce Department has been ono of increased prosperity, and I am gratified in be ing sible to state that the receipt of postal reven ue has nearly equalled the entire expenditure; the latter amounting to $1 1, 314,000. t4 and the former to $11,163,781) 59 leivinga deficiency of but $250 417.25 In lf?60, the year immediate preceding the rebellion, the deficiency amounted to $565,1)70.549. The postage receipts of that year were $264,52,219 less than those of lb63. The decrease since 1660, in the annual amount of transportation, has been only about 25 per cent", but the annual expenditures on account of the same has been reduced 35 percent. It is manifest, therefore, that the Postollic Department may become self sustaining in a few yeirs.even with the restoration of the whole service. The international conference of Postal delegates from tho principal countries of Europe and America, which was called at the suggestion of the Postmaster General, met at Paris on the 11th of May last, and concluded its deliberations on the ?Uh of June. The principles established by the conference, as best adapted to facilitate postal intercourse between nations, and as the basis of future conventions to inaugurate a general system of uniform international charges at reduced rates of postage cannot fail to produce beneficial results. RfronT or the secretary or the interioe. I refer you to the report of the Secretary of the Interior, which is herewith laid before you, for the useful and varied information in relation to the public lands, Indian affairs, patents, pensions and other matters of public concern, pertaining to this department. The quantity of lands disposed of during the last and the first quarters of tbe present fiscal year was three million eight hundred and fifty one thousand five hundred and fifty-nine acres, of which one hundred and sixty one thousand nine hundred and eleven acres wereßold forcash; one million four hundred and fisty-six thousand five hundred and fourteen acres were takeu up under the Home Stead law and the residue disposed of under laws granting lands for military bounties, for railroads and other purposes. It also appears that the sale of public lands .is largely in the increase. It has long been a cherished opinion of some of our widest statesmen that the people of the Utates States had a higher und mere enduring interest in the early settlement aud substantial cultivation of the public lands than in the amount of direct revenue to be derived from the sale of them. This opinion has had a controling influence in shaping legislation upon the subject of our national domain. I may cite a an instance of this the liberal measures adopted iu reference to actual settlers, the grant to the Stales of the overflowed lands within their limits, iu order to their being reclaimed and rendered fit for cultivation The graut to railroad companies ol alternate sections of land upon the contemplated lines of their road when completed, will largely multiply the facilities of reaching our distant possessions. This nolicy has received its most signal and beneficent illustration ia recent enactments granting homesteads to actual metiers. Since the first day of January last the before mentioned quantity of one million four hundred and fifty-six thousand five hundrcti and fourteen acres of land has been taken up under its provision. This fact and the amount of sales furnib gratifying evidence ol the increasing settlement upon the public land?, notwithstanding the great struggle in which the energies of the nation have been engaged, and which has required so large a withdrawal of our citizens from their accustomed pursuits I cordially concur in the recommendttion ol the Secretary of the Intcior suggesting a modifi cation of the act in favor of those engaged in the military and naval service of the United State. I doubt not that surveyors will che fully dopt rtwh measures as will, without essentially changing the general features of the system, secure to tlie greatest possible extent its benefits to thoe who have left their homes iu defense of the country in this arduous crisis. f THE MINERAL LANDS. I invite vour attention to the views of the Secretary of War as to thesa ropriety of raising, by appropriation of legislation, a revenue from the mineral lands of the United States.

I transmit the second annual report of the i Cocmiciiccers of the Agricultural Department, asking yonr attention to the developments in that vital interest of tte cation. Tri e wi. rojrptTiojr or Til E RFBrtLlox. When Congress asemb!ed a year ago. the war ! iad alre-my lasted nearlv twenty months, and had airei'iv lasted nearlv twenty months, and there had been many conflicts on both land and j sea with varying results. The rebellion had been j prcs-ei back into reduced limits; yet ins tone of public feeling and opinion at home and abroad was not satisfactory. With other signs, the pop ular elections, then just past, indicated unei ! ness among ourselves, while amid much that was : cold and menacing, the kindest words coming i frnm "Pnfland were uttered in aroenta rf Tiifr i but we were too blind to surrender. Our commerce was suffering greatlv by few armed vessel built upon and furnished from foreign shores, and we were threatened with such additions from the same quarter as would sweep our trade from the seas and raise our blockade. We had failesi to elicit from European Governments anything hopeful upon this subject. The emancipation proclamation, which was issued in September, was running its aligned period to the beginning of the new year. A month later the final proclamation came, including the announcement that colored men of suitable condition would be received into the war service. POLICT OK LMANCirATlOX AND EMPLOYMENT OK NEGI.0 ROLDltM Tbe policy of emancipation and of employment of black soldiers, gave to the future a new aspect, about which hopes, fears and doubts contended in uncertain conflict, according to our political system, as a matter of civil administration. The General Government haa no lawful power to effect eman cipation in any State, and for a long time it l ad been hoped that the rebellion could be suppressed without resorting to it as a military measure. It was all the while deemed possible that necessity for it might come, and that, if it should, the crisis of the contest would then be presented. It came, and, as foreseen, it was followed by dark and doubtful days. Eleven months having been passed, we are permitted to take another review. The rebel borders are pressed etill farther back. and, by the complete opening of the Mississippi River, the country dominated over bv the rebelion is divided into distant parts. Practical com munication between them and Tennessee and Arkansas has been substantially cleared of insurgent control and influence: and the citizens in each, and owners of slaves and advocates of slave ry at the beginning of the rebellion, now dec-late openly for emancipation in their respective States. Of those Slates not included in the emancipation, Maryland and Miouri (neither of which, years ago. would tolerate any restraints upon the extension of slavery into the Territories) only dispute now is as to the best mode of driving it from their own limits. Of I hose who were slaves atthe beginning of the rebellion, fully one hundred thousand are now in the United States military service, about one-half of which number actually bear arms in the ranks, thus giving the double advantage of taking so much labor from the insurgent cause and supplying the places which otherwise must be tilled with so many white men. So far as tested, it is difficult to say they are not as good soldiers as any. No servile insurrection or tendency to violence or cruelty has marked the raesure of emancipation and arming the blacks. These measures have been much discussed in foreign countries, and contemporary with such discussions the tone of the public sentiment there is much improved. Where the same measures have been fully dis cussed, supported, criticised and denounced, the annual elections are highly encouraging to those whose special duty it is to bear the country through this great trial. Thus we have the reckoning; the crisis which threatened to divide the friends of the country is past. PLAN FOR RfcCO.VSTRUCTION. Looking now to the preseut and future and with reference to a resumption of the national authority within the States wherein that authotity has been suspended, I have thought fit to issue a proclamation, a copy of which is herewith transmitted. On examination of this proclamation it will appeir, as is believed, amply justified by the Constitution. True the form of an oath is gjven, but no man is coerced to take it. A man is only promised a pardon in case ho voluntarily takes the oath. The Constitution authorizes the Executive to grant it on terms as fully established by judicial and other authorities. It ia also proffered that if any of the States name a seat of government it shall be in the mode prescribed set up. Scch Government shall be recognized and guaranteed by the United States, and that un Je;- it the State shall, on subscribing to the constitutional conditions, be protected against invasion and domestic violence. The constitutional obligation of the United States to guarantee to every State in the Union a republican form of Government and to protect the State in the caee ks stated, is explicit and full. But why tender the benefits of this provision only to a State government set up in this particular way? This section of the Constitution contemplates a case wheiein the element within a State was favorable to a repulican government in this Union may be too leeble for an opposite and hostile element external to and even within the State, and such are precisely the cases with which we are now dealing. Au attempt to guarantee and protect a revisel stale of trovernmetit, constituted in whole or in preponderating part from the very element agninst whose hostility and violence it is to be protected, is simply absurd Tbere must be a test by which to separate opposing elements so as to build only from the sound, and that test a sui--ficient and liberal one, whi"h accepta ound whoever will make a sworn recantation of his former unsoundness, but if it he proper to require a list of admission to the political body, an oath of allegiance to the Constitutor of the United States and to the Union under it, why not also to the laws and proclamation in reyard to lavery? Those laws aud prochmation w ete enacted and put forth for the urjos-e of aiding in the suppression of the rebellion. To gi re them the fullest effect, there hail tobe a pledge for their mahlteiw:ice. In ray judgment they have aided and will further aid the cause for which they weie enlisted. To give up this principle would be not only to relinquish a lever of power, but it would also be a cruel and astounding breach of faith. I may add at this point that while I remtin in my present positiou 1 sdiall not attempt to retrsct or modify the emancipation proclamation, nor shall I return to slavery any person who i made free by the terms 'of the proclamation or by art of Coiigies. For thce and other reason it is thought fest that the support Of theae rMns sh ill te im lüde! in the oith, and it i believed the Ex ecutive may lawfully claim it In retnrn for pardon and the restoration of projected richts, which he bus clear constitutional power U withhold alto gethcr or grant upon the term which he shall l- . a t . . an.. 1.1,, ! t a.- ... a la 1 ..... t I I deem wisest for the public interest It sh"u1d be observed. ao, that ihi part of tho oath is sub ject to tlu modifying and abtoguting iowct of The proposal acquic eure of the National Executive in any honorable temporary Stale arraiiRnncitt for the freed )eopt ia made with a view of possibly modifying Ihe confusion and distressed destitution which must at Ul at ten I all c!ci by a total revolution of labor throughout the whole State. It I hoped that the already deeply a libeled people in thoj States nuy be somewhat note ready to give up the ran ol their Elielion, and to this extent this vital matter la left t themselves, while no power of the National Executive to prevrut an sbu'e It abridged by this propowitioii. HIE fOMMTIONS Of RrintMlltTTtn. Th suggestion In the proclamation a to main, tainlng the political frame woik of th Slates, or what h ralle! reconstruction, I made In the hope that ft nay do good without harm It will favor labor and' avoid great confusion. Hut why any ptoclamatloo now upon ihl subject? Thlaqoeation I beset with th conflicting views that tlie tep might be delayed too tun; or It taken too soon: In ocn, elements for resumption have been ready lor acüoo, but remain inactive, ar, parently lor want cf a ralWing pott, a xlan of anion. " ikj v. wuopi me pian oi it rather than 11. that of A.? and If A. and H khoulJ j agree, how can tl ev know but the geneial gov-1 eminent here wjil rerct th;r j,'n? Ii ? the proclamation a plan VU ta-esented j which may be aceer.ted y them as a rallyW-f , point, and which they are assured la advjnce will , not be trjectrd here. Thi my bring them to; act sooner than they otherwise would. The !-

jection to a premature presentation of a plan by the National Executive consists in th danger of comtntttance ia point which coa!d be more safely left to further developments Care ha been taken to so shape the document as to avoid em barrawment from this source. In saying that oa certain terms certain classes will be pardoned, with their rights restored, it is not sail that other classes on other terms will never be included. In saying that a reconstruction will be accepted if presented in a specified. way, it is not said that it will never 1? accepted in any other way. The movement by State actions for emancipations in several of the States not included in the em mcipation proclamation. are tntters of profound gratulation; and while I do not repeit in detail what I have heretofore o earnest! v urged upon

this subject, my general views and feelings remain unchanged, atd I trust that Congress will omit no fair opportur.ity of aiding these important steps to the great consummation. the Wax power the main reliance. . In the midst of other care, however Important, we must r.ot lose sight of the fact that tbe war power is still our main reliance. To that power alone can we look, yet for a time, to give confidence to the people in contested regions that the insurgent power will not again overturn them. Until that confidence shall be established little can be done anywhere for what is called reconstruction. Hence our chiefest care must still be directed to our army and navy, who have thus far borne their harder part so noblv and so well, and it may be esteemed fortunate that in giving the greatest efficiency to their indispensable arms, we do also honorably encourage the gallant men, from commander to sentinel, who compose them, and to whom, more than all others, the world must stand indebted for the home of freedom disenthralled, regenera ted, enlarged and perpetuated. ABRAHAM LINCOLN. Washington, Dec. 8, 163. Proclamation. The following proclamation accompanies tbe message: W UKRK.AS, On and by the Constitution of the United States, it is provided that the President shall have power to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses agaiust the United States except in cases of impeachment; and, Whereas, A rebellion now exists whereby the loyal States and the government of the several States hare lor a long time been subverted, and many persons have committed and are now guilty of treason against the united States; and. Whereas, With reference to said rebellion and treason, laws have been enacted by Congress de claring the forfeiture and confiscation of property and liberation of slaves, all upon terms and con Editions therein stated, and also declaring that the President was thereby authorized at any time thereafter, by proclamation, to extend to persons who miv have participated in the existing re bellion in any State or part thereof, pardon, and on such term and conditions us he mav deem expedient lor the public welfare; and, Whleeas, The Congressional declaration for limited and conditional pardon accorded with well established expositions of the pardoning power; and, WiiKRtus, With reference to said rebellion the Pie-ulent of the United States has issued several proclamations with provisions in regard to the liberation ol slave, and Whereas, It is now desired by gome persons beietofore engaged in said rebellion to resume their allegiance to the Limed States and rein augurafe Joval State governments within and for their respective States; therefore I, Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, do proclaim, declare and make known to all persons who have directly or by implication participated in the existiug rebellion, except as herein after excepted, that a full pardon is granted to them and eac h of them, with a restoration of all rights, if third parties shall hive intervened, and upon the condition that every such person shall take and piibbribe an oath and thenceforward keep and maintain said oath inviolate and which oath shall be registered for permanent presentation, and shall be of the tenor and effect following, to wit: "I do solemnly swear in pres euce of Almighty God, that I will henceforth faithfully support, protect and defeud the Constitution of the United Stales and the Union of Staot s thereunder; and that I will in like manucr abide by and faithfully support all acts of Con tress pa.-sed during the existing rebellion, with reference to slaves, so long and so far as not yet repealed, modified, or held void by Congress or by decision of tlie Supreme Court; and that I will in like manner abide by and faithfully support all proclamations of the President made during the existing rebellion, having reference to slaves, ao long and so fir as not modified, or declared void by decision of the Supienie Court. So help me God." The persons excepted from the benefits of the foregoing provisions nre all who are or shall have been civil or diplomatic officers or agents of the so called Confederate government; all who have left judicial stations under the United States to aid the rebellion; all who are or shall have been milit try or naval officers of the rank of Colonel in the army or Lieutenant iu the navy; all who left seats in the United States Congress to aid in the rebellion; all who resigned their commissions in the army and navy of the United S'ates and nfierwards aided the rebellion, and all who have engaged in any way in treating colored persons or white persons in chnrge of such otherwise than lawfully as prisoners of war, and which persons may be found in the United States service as soldiers, seamen, or in any other capacity. And I do further proclaim, dechre and make known that whoever in any of the States of Arkniis is, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama. Georgia, Florida, South Carolina and North Carolina, a number of persons not le-s linn ore-tenth of the number of the votes rast in such State at the Presidential election of the year of our Lord 1563, each having taken the oath aforesaid, and not having since violated it, rnd being a qualified vo'er by tl e elec tion law of the State existing the Janunry before the fet "f secession, and excluding all others, shall be established a State Government which diall be rer-ubiiean, and no wise con t raven ing said oath. S ub -h ill be recognized as tlie true government of the State, and the State shall receive thereunder the benefits of the constitutional provi.-icü, which declares that the United St-.te shall guarantee to every State in the Union a republican form of govcrtiTciit, und ;ha!! protect each of them jgiint inva-ion, and on application of the.

And it is suggested as not improper that in constructing a loyal state government in any State, the name of the boundary, the subdivision, the constitution, and the federal code of laws a before the rebellion, be maintain ed, subject only to mod'fir)iti!is made nrcppaarv .i . t,M,r!l if aIir, ..ontravening aid conditions, and which may be deemed exigent by tho.e fiatrI . ie conditions hetetnbeh-r state. anI sitco ing the new stite government, avoid mil-understanding, it may Ik To pro per to ny that IM proclamation so lar a it relate i a State government, ha no rrfrr enc to States wheieii. loial Stale govt'ruin'-r.t have all ihe while been maintained, and for Ihe same tea son it may I proper to further say that whether members ent to Congress from any Slate, hall be ndtnittrd to scat constitutionally, ret exclusively with the rtpvtlve llous, tmt to any extent with the eaecutive, and state further that fhU prH'lamat'iri 1 Intended to present, to the people of the Slate wher tho national authority haabeeri uaended and loyal Slate gov er ma en ta have been subverted, a too Je by which the national authority over evtrv loyal Slat government may be established within said State or any of them, and whei the mode presented I th bet, the Executive can auggeat with hi (veent im;ifsion, it muil not be understood that another poaalble mode would not be acceptable.
