' Courier, Dec. 29, and Post, Dec 12, 1863. • May 29, 1865. Digitized by Google 347] RECONSTRUCTION-^THEORIES AND POLICIES 151 believing that Congress should take the initiative in such work as this and that the President should cooperate with the legislative branch of the government.^ The radicals objected to the Presidential theory because it did not appear that universal suffrage would be accomplished by it* There were, of course, those who in their loyalty to the adminis- tration said : " N...ow that the proclamation of amnesty is issued we must stand by it, no matter whether we think it ill-advised or not." * They felt satisfied, however, that it was not based upon the state-suicide theory but upon the principle that "loyal state governments" had been sub- verted and that the states themselves still existed and might resume their active functions whenever enough of the loyal were collected to set on foot in good faith a state govern- ment* Thus, except for the radical reformers, both oppo- nents and supporters of the presidential policy consistently adhered to one theory, — that the state could not and did not secede, and that restoration was the work of loyal citizens.
