V It is a momentous question indeed, and iftajQlying, as I conceive, not only the wel fare of our Southern people, but the in tegrity of the Constitution itself. The doctrine you advance (aud though advan ced by a non-professional person, one who I conceive, to be one of the best con stitutional lawyer! in North Carolina,) is shocking, to every idea of Constitutional government, violates every notion of ethics iu government and is at war with the fundamental principle of justice. Your proposition, ns I understand it is, that upon the admission nf our Seuntors mid Representatives, the Stales become integral members of the Federal Union, j or that it is tantamount to such a recogni tion ot the 'slulal bogus govcriuuaithby I the political department of the Govern ment, ns to preclude the Judicial Depart ment from deciding on their validity.

Indeed he has stuck in the form books ol ihnlys. In tho foregoing observuious I have omit ted the discussion of two points which bear u p"ii the whole question of reconstruction. 1. That as the bogus governments are wholly the ercaturoe of Congress, it would violate the first prlnctplea of justice toner- x mit a recogniimn by Congress indeed that the idea of applying the term rccog niae, (conveying aa It does through judi cial interpretation, the idea of impartiality, neutrality and entire disinterestedness) to lhe action of Congress towards it own work, is an absurdity, an iucognity, and a legal olieism. , ' t.
