1143) to provide for the more efiBcient government of the insur- rectionary States. The PRESIDENT pro tempore. This bill is now to be reconsidered by the Senate ac- cording to the provisions of the Constitution ; and the question is. Shall the bill pass, the objections of the President of the United States to the contrary notwithstanding? Mr. JOHNSON. Mr. President, while doing, as I sincerely do, full justice to the motives of the President in refusing to sign the bill before us, I cannot but ...regret that he felt him- self compelled by a sense of duty to come to that conclusion, and I also regret the tone which his message in several portions of it assumes. It contains, as I think, some legal propositions which are unsound, and many errors of reasoning which upon examination will be found apparent. And above all do I lament the course he has thought it his duty to pursue, because I see, as I believe, that it may result in continued turmoil and peril, not only to the South, but to the entire country.
