" We have here, in these extracts, the opinion of the President upon the question of what 8 stould be done at this juncture by Congress, or rather by the respective Houses of Congress, in the work of restoration. The representation of tJie southern States is to be restored by appro- priate action of each House under a clear con- stitutional power, the exercise of which will be completely efficacious to the object in view. Thus the Union can be restored in its integ- rity, and all questions conn...ected with its res- toration disposed of forever. - "^^Tiy, then, should not the Senate and House, respectively, proceed to consider the questions of membership which are brought before them, and decide them upon the same principles of wisdom, magnanimity, and patriotism, which have characterized the President's conduct and policy with reference to the southern States ? "What good object is to be subserved by keep- ing open the question of restoration, and delay- ing to the country the enjoyment of the fruits of ^ictory and peace?
