Let such declaration be made in the proper authoritative way, and the Statesand people will re-cohere by natural and habitual proclivity. But so long as that policy shall be refused, they will be kept in severance. Upon no narrow, selfish, or sectional plan, can the sym- bolic stars of the republic be re-constellated upon our flag. These con- siderations press with great force upon the minds of a large majority of your representatives in Congress, and they regret and wonder that you do not perc...eive and regard them in the same light. At the present time the indications are much stronger than they have heretofore been of an inclination on the part of the Confeder- ate people to abandon their project of a separate government, and to restore their respective States to the Union upon the principles of the original confederation. I hold that such desire on their part ought to be encouraged by us. But any one not politically blind can see that to strike down without their concurrence their present State rights would be certain to incite them to continued resistance and to foreclose all hope of restoration or peace.
