HON. To tbe people of the United Stales : Hav
ing met in convention nt tho city of Philadel
phia, in the Slate nf Pennsylvania, this 14th

people in all sections and from all the States
and teriiluries nf the Union, to consult upon

and of the political purpose wo seek In pro

seclinnal in its character, hns. nevertheless, de
cided the political difference that from tli3 very
beginning of tho Government had threatened
the unity of oor national existence, and hns
left .its impress deep; and inefTuceahle upon all
the interests, sentiments and destiny nf 'the
Republic. While it has inllioted upon Ihe
whole country severo lusaes iu life and proper
ty, aud imposed burdens which must weigh on
its resources for generations tn come, it has de
velnped a degree of national courage in the
presence of national danger, capacity fur mili
tary organization. achievement, devotion oti the
part of the people tr Ihe Government they
have erdnined, nnd tn principles uf liberty
which the Oiveruiuent is llesigotM tu prnminr,
which must confirm I fie confidence of the na

world. Like nil great contests which arouse
the passions and-lest the endurance nf nations,
tins war hns given a new scone tn the ambition
nf political parlies und a fresh impulse tn plans
nf innuvuliun and reform. Amidst the chaos of
onnlliotitig sentiments inseparable front such
an era, mine llie polilio heart Is Keenly ulive
lo the missions that can swny fi ulilio judgment

which the Coiistitulion confers, hut it acquiies
thereby no new power either of territorial
possession ur civil authority which it did nut
possess lieuue Ihe rebellion. All thu rightful
power it Clin possess, ia that conlerred eillier iu
express terms or by the laireel neoessnry im
pliaatiou by Ihe Const ituliiin. It was that
power and that authority which this rebellion
sought In overthrow. Tho viclnry of Federal
arms wa i simply the defeat of I hut attempt.
Thu Liuveruiuciit throughout, acted nu Ihe jo
Pensive. It sought only to hold possession uf
what wus its owu. Neither the wur nor victu.
ry, changed thu Coiislitutiuii. The war was
uauied uii i.y virtue nl its pruvisiime, and un
der the limitations which they prescribe. The
result ol the war did nut enlarge, nbn.'ge or
change or affect the powers nr release the
Ijnveriiiuciil Irniii restrictions which weru lin
puaed by the Constitution. It is tu day as It
wus before the wur. the supreme law uf th
laud, the constitution or lawsol any Kiaia In
ihe contrary notwithstanding ; and all power
not conlerred by the Coualitulioo upon the
General Government mar prohibited by it tu
the Stales, aru reserved In Hie several Stales.
This position is vindicated not only by the sub
slanlial nature of our Government and Ihe
language and spirit of the Constitution, but hy
all ils acts iu its several departmcni and al
all limes from the outbreak uf the rebellion lu
its close. In every message and proclamation
of lit. Kiecttlive it was expressly declared that
Ilia objtiLnf the war was le maintain the au
thority uf the Constitution and preserve the
Union t and Congress inure than once reitera
ted this solemn declaration, aud added th as
surance that whenever that object wa attained
war shuold cense nnd all the States should re
lain their equal right, and dignity unimpaired.
It ia only sinco the war has clwed and Bar

fiartment uf thu General Government, thai it

its consent, he deprived nf equal suffrage in the
ncnaro nt tnu united rttntcj, has heen annulled,
and ten Statea have heen refused representa
tion in Congress, and the Cnngress in which
only a part uf (lie States and penple are rep
resented has asserted the right thui'lo exclude
the rest frnm repreaentatlnn and from nil shnre
in making Iheirnwn laws nr choosing their own
rulers, until they comply with such conditions
and perform such acts as this G'nngresa thus
composed may prescribe. That right hai nut
only been asserted hut exorcised and prnctlo
ally enforced.
Nor does it find any inppnrt In (he theory
that the States thus excluded are In rebelliun
and therefore precluded from sharing the nu
Ihnritynf Unvcriimimt. They are nut thus lu
rebellion. They aro in an attitude nf In) ally
to the Government and hnve swnrn allegiance
to the Constitution. In no one of lliein is there
tho slightest Indication of resistance to the
Government or protest ugalnst its Just and
binding obligations. This condition of loyalty
has been effeotunlly recognized by tho proc
lamation of tho President. The laws or the
United Slates have heen extended by Cnn
gress over these States. Tho Federal Courts
n ive been reopened. Federal taxes have
been levied, and in every respect except that
they are denied representation, the States are
recognized as holding the same position, owing
the same obligations, subject lu the same dn
ties as other States. It semis to us lu the ex
ercise nf most culm noil most enridid judgment
we can bring tu Ihe subjepr, Unit clnliii, " en
forced, inrulves as fatal an nverlhrnw of the
Government and Unlnn as that Suught to be
effected by llie Slates in armed Insurrection. '
But It ennnot be said that the power thus as
serted tn exclude certain States frntn represen
tstimi is made tn test wholly mi thu will aud
discretion of Ihe Cnngress that asserts It. It is
nut made lu depend npnn any specified oon-;
dltions nor subject In nuy rules ur regiilatinns
ef service. The right asserted und exercised
is absolute without qualification ur restriction,
and is not cmlim-d to Stales in rebellion nur
to Stntes that have rebelled.
It is nut Ihe right nt any Congress In formal
possession nf ils legishniva aulhorily to exclude
any Slnte nr States and any putliim nf people
thereof at any time from rcprcsentiitiun in
Cnngress and the eleclural cullego at its own
discretion, and until they shall perform snob
aols and comply with sne'h conditions as it may
dictate. The reasons for such exclusion being
wholly without discretion, Cnngress may
change Ihetti as Congress itself may ohnitge.
One Congress may exclude a Stnte Irnin all
share nf the Government for nne reason, ami
that reunited, the next Cnngress nmy exclude
it for nmuher one. A Stale may be excluded
on oiiu ground to day ami on attnther tu-nior-rnw.

man could lawfully represent those State la
councils of the United States, bat this was on
ly an obstacle lo Iho enjoyment of a right and
lo the discharge nf a duty. It did nut annol

jiecially. that It enlarges th. jurisdiction of

Coagro.s nt its last session, proposed amend

Terr important particulars th. authority of th.
General Government and that of the several
Stales, and red ccing, by iudireot disfranchise

that these amendment may b. made valid as

concurrence of Hie 8'ates uitjt seriously af
fected by them, nr may be Imposed npon tho.
States by throe-fourths of the remaining State,
as conditions nf their re-admission to represen

people nf the United Stales to make inoh
changes in the Constitution as they, npon do

sist that they .hall h. made in the mod. which
the Constitution Itself point, in consistency
with Ihe letter aud spirit of that Instrument,
and w ith the principles nf self government aod
nf equal figbn which Ii .1 the basis of our

cluding the rest of the Slate from uy sham
in their councils, to propose or aanotinn chang

or revise the legitimate auliua of Ihe tcternl
