MESSAGE OF THE President of the United States. Fm.ow Cram oy Tus Senate saxo Houses oF Rurxe- euwrarivEs:— After a brief interval the Congress of the United States resumes its annual legislative labore. An all-wise and mereiful Providence has abated the pestilence which ‘visited our shores, leaving its calamiteus traces upon ‘some portions of our country, Peace, order, tranquil- Mity and civil authority have been formally declared to oxist throughout the whole of the United States. In all of the States civil authority has superseded the coercion of arms, and the people, by their voluntary action, are maintaining their @evernments in full activity and complete operat ion. | RESTORATION OF PRACE AND GOOD PERLING. The enforcement of the iaws is 20 longer wouree of judicial proceedings;”” _puimosi ‘tea engendered by the’ war are rapidly yielding to the “Beneficent influences of our free institutions, and to the Kindly effecta of unrestricted sociat and commercial iv- tercourse. An entire restoration of fraternal feeling ‘must be the earngst wish of every patriotic heart; and ~ "6 will have accomplished our grandest national ‘ecbjevement when, forgetting the sad events of the past, ‘end remembering only their instructive lessons, we re- “game our onward career as a free, Prosperous and united people. In my mosuage of the 4th of December, 1865, Congress ‘was informed of the measures which had been instituted ‘by the Executive with a view to the gradua) restoration of the States in which the insurrection occurred to their Pelaons with (he general government. Provisional @overnors had been appointed, Conventions called, Gov- ernors elected, Legislatures assembled, and Senators ‘and Representatives chosen to the Congress of the United ‘States, Courts had been ope! the euforcement of laws long in abeyance, The biockadé had been removed, oustom houses re-established and the internal revenue Jaws put in force, in order that the people might contri ‘Date to the national income, Postal operations had been - renewed, and efforts were being made to restore them ty their former condition of efficiency, The States them- waives had been asked to take part in the high runction amending the constitution, and of thus vauctioning the extinction of African slavery as one of the legit mate results of our intornecine struggle. ‘TER ADMIRSION OF REYRESENTATIVES FROM TRE SOUTH. ‘Having progressed thus far, the Executive Department found that it had sccomplished nearly all that was within the scope of its constitutional authority. One thing, however, yet remained to be done before the work Of restoration could be completed, and that was the admis. gion to Congress of loyal Senators and Representives from the States whose people had rebelled against the lawful authority of the genera! government. This ques- tion devolved upon the respective Houses which, by the constitution, are made the judges of the elections, re- turns and qualifications of their own members, and its eonsideration at once engaged the attention of Congress. In the meantime the Executive Department—no other _plen having been proposed by Congress—continued ie efforts to perfect, as far as was practicable, thé rescors- ten of the proper relations between the citizens of the respective Staves, (he States and tue federal government, < @atending from time | time, as the public ‘aterrsts geemed to require, the judicial, Tevenne and posta! ays Seas of the country. |" With the “advice and conrentot their jurediction, was ratilied by requisite number of States, and on the 18th day of December, 1865, it was officially declared to Dave become valid as apart of the constitution of he race, Congress, however, yet besitated to admit any of these States to representation; and it was nat ‘until towards the close of the eighth month of the ses ion that an exception was made in favor of ‘Tennessee, ty the admission of her Senators and Representatives, TEE CONGKBBMONAL GPPOSTLION, 1 deem it a sabject of profouna regret th has thus far failed to admit to seats loyal Representatives from the other States, whose Baditants, with those of Tennessee, bad engaged in the rebellion. Ten Statee—more than one-fourth of the ‘whole number— remain without representation ; the seas ef Oty members in the House of Representatives and of twenty members in the Senate are yet vacani—not by their own consent, not by # failure of election, but by ‘the refusal of Congress to accept their credent.als Their edmission, it is believed, would have accomplished mach towards the renewal and strengthening of our relations ea one people, and removed serious cause for discoutent em the part of the imbabitants of those Staten Is would have accorded with the great print eiple enunciated in the Declaration of American Inde pendence, that no people ought to bear the burden of taxation, and yet be denied the right of representation. Ah would have boer in consonance with the express pro- vikdous of the constitution, thai ‘each Mate shall bave 4 least one Representative,’ and that ‘‘no State wittiout ite consent, shall be deprived of sts equal #yfitage in he + fmete,’~ These provinions were intended to fecare to every State, and to the people ef every State, the rent @f representation jn each House of Congress; and ny portant was it deemed by the framers of the coustitu- tion that the equality of the States in the Senate shou!d de ed, that not even by an amendmestof the e@xastitution can any Slate, witnout its consent, bode nied a voice in thet branch of the mational Legisiatore, TERRITOWIAL CONDITION OF THE BTATHE REFUDLATED.

Each House is made the ‘judge of the elections, returns and qualifica- tions of its owa members,’ and may, “ with the concur- rence of two-thirds, expel a member.’”” When aSenator or Representative presents his certificate of election, he may at once be admitied or rejected, or, should there be any question a8 to his eligibility, his creden- tials may be referred for investigation to the appropriate committee. If admitted to a seat, it “must be upon evidence satisfactory to the House of which he thus bécothes & member, that he possesses the requisite constitutional and legal qualifica- tions. “If refused admission as a member for want of due allegiance to the government and returned to his constituents, they are admonished that none byt persons Joyal to the United States will be allowed a voice in the degistative councils of the nation, and the political power and moral influence of Con- gress are thus effectively exerted in the in terests of loyulty to the government and fidelity to the Union, Upon this question, so vitally affecting the res- tration of the Union and the permanency of our present form of government, my convictions, heretofore ex- pressed, have undergone no change; but, on the contrary, their correctness had been confirmed by reflection and time. If the admission of loyal members to seats in the respective houses of Congress was wise and expedient a year ago, it is no less wise and expedient now. If this anomalous condition is right mo’ t, in the exact condition of these States at the present time, it is lawful to exclude them from repre- septation, I do pot see that the question will be changed by the etfiux of time. Ten years hence, if these States mmain ax they are, the right of rey tation will be Do stronger—the right of exclusion wi no weaker, ‘THM ADMISSION OF THE SOUTH IMPERATIVELY DEMANDED. {he constitution of the United States makes it the duty of the President to recommend to the consideration of “such measures as be shall necessary ively or expedient.” 1 know of no measure more demanded by every consideration of imterest, sound policy and equal justive than the admission of loyal members from the now un: ited States, This would consummate the work of restoration, and exert @ most salutary intinence in the re-establishment of peace, harmony and fraternal feeling.
