Jbl niluei of the offer, va submit, is not tba proper qaertico to be oonsidered first. The first qnestion for con sideration Is. the right of Congress to mske its adoption a condition precedent to the reotymitioo of the right of those States to representation in tba Sentte snd IIoo.se according t j tbo prortsiooa of tba Constitution, r This necessarily leads to thii inquiry : What vere thacrpeetira powers and duties of Con gress, snathe President of tba United Ststes aod tba Judiciary, ia regard to the lata rebellion, at its commencement, duriog its progress, and at its ek'cf . These questions can only be so s vered by a careful 'examination of tba Cocsti tutloo of tba United States. Their duties. de pend on the powers which are conferred oo each j of them by tbat instrument " I he people or tba United Ststes, in order to form a more per fect union, establish justice, insure domestic tran quility, provide for tba common defence-, pro mote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to thermal res aod their prosperity, or dained and established this Constitution of the United States of America." They thought pro. per to dlride the powers of goternmeut therein granted, into three greet department lefrisle Ue, executive, aod judicial. Ia the first artia cla tbay declare, (sea. 1,) "AH kgulatire povers" herein granted ahall be Tesisd in a Congress of tba United Statea, which shall consist of n Son ata and Iloasa of IUnrMenratives." fScc. 2 TbII:5sa tl-Uatjahs, isilii tJt posed of members chosen every second ad yi It . the pocple of the lever!

"The Senets of the United SUtea shall be com-! nosed of two Senators from cash State" " and each Senator shall bare one vote," add "no State, without its consent, shall be deprived of its equsl suffrage in the Senate." , By the second article it is provided: "The ex ecutive power shall be tested in n President of the United Ststes of America,", and before be enters on ,tbe elocution of the duties of bu of . fioe bet shall take the fallowing oath; "I do sol emnly swear thst I vill fsithfully execute the of fice of President of the United Sutes, and will, to the best of my ability, preserve, proteot, and defend the Constitution of the.

Article III fjec 1) providea that "the judi cial pover of the United States shsll be vested in one Supreme Court, and in sueh inferior courts ss the Congress may, from time jid time, ordain and -establiBh." Tbe powers not delegated to tho Uflited States by the Constitution nor pro hibited by it. to the Ststes are reserved, to the States, respectively or to the people." "CArticle 10.)

Powers not strictly legislative are speoifioally granted to Congress and the mods of exercising such pow: er is also specifically indicated in the Constitution as, for example, the pover of impeachment and tho, power to declare , var. The same " may be aaid efaho Executive Departmant; Xhe Presi dent is authorued "to grant reprietea and par dons for offences against the United States, ex cept in case of impeaohment." II o-has power,, by and wkb the advioe and oousont of the Sen aterto mak treaties, provided-iwo-tbirds xif- the Senators present ooncur.

Let us re- view the action of Congress first: ; 1. Iu July, lS61, CongrasPdfred tbo war was not prosecuted for conquPst or subjugattou, bit to tnaia4aia tha supremacy of the ConjrUi tiou and laws of the Uoiud States, and aysfloo as this was acknowledged by those in rejxillion the war ought to cease. . 2. Again, during the same month r Congress passad sn act, fixing the whole aairtberf Jtepre. sentatives jinder 'the cenm of 10 at 241, and apportioning toeacT) of the States, preluding those hat yere io arms against theUaioa, tBeir pr portion acoording bo ratio agtvedof for all. 3. This vas after each of tbeiStatea bad passed an ordinance of seoession; and after, the " so called" Congress of the Contjidarate States bad passed, on the 17th of Msy, ISOl. an act declar ing that it " recognized, a state of Avar between the Confederate States and ttjfjCDaed States" I' 4. The resolution mTegard to the .objeota ol the war has never been repealed.' The " act ap- Krtioning Representatives to theJStates in re: llion still stands untouched on the statute-book of the Union, and the Representatives from the State of Tennessee vere elected and permitted to take their sea U under it. The action of tba Executive- Department is equally dicbive In support of this view of the subject: s - . Presidest Lincoln in nis inaugural tuiaresa speaks of tbem as States He does the same in his proclamation establishing a blockade of their ports, to commence iu ninety days frooalt date, unless in the meantime the ftboh bad laid, down L their arms and submitted to the authority of the Union".
