It is a policy, too, in my opinion, utterly unconstitutional ; and as much in the spirit of rebellion as al- most anything which has been attempted by the Southern States. Why, does any one doubt for an instant, that if the Southern States were to lay down their arms to-mor- row, and throw themselves unreservedly on their rights under the Constitution, that it would be the bounden duty of the govern- ment to receive their submission, and recog- nize their rights, subject only to such pains and ...penalties as might be legally enforced upon individuals duly convicted ot treason ?

I have often hoped, and still hope, that some one State, like the old State of North Carolina, or the great State of Georgia, might be induced to try the experiment of simply coming back under the old flsg, witho'it asking any ques- tions, or seeking to exact in advance any con- ditions whatCwte (Cheers.)
