The acts iof secession, by the ' Southern - States were nuU and void, but nevertheless had destroy ed the full relations of those Slates to the Federal Union. Conditions had been im posed by the Congress preceSent to the Statjes regaining that full ! relation, and also for the State after that happy event. These conditions, contained iu the Howard amendment, had been the settled policy for four ;y ears, and we are bound, in good faith, to support them. Mr. Sinclair said that the Tlownrd amend tnent was a statute law, if it was not the organic ltw. The ratification of that Article was a tjine qua non to onr getting1nto the Union. We knew that when we were yo tingj for tha Constitution. We owe para mount allegiance to the central and parent government,) which is the sovereign ' power of tlie land.. The Republicans had never ad mitted as a party that the State was out of the Union. Such a thing was Impossible nnless the govet nment had gone to pieces. If we adopt the substitute, we shall have to reconsider our action ratifying the Howard amendment a few days since. . He wanted all relieved, but he wished to see such relief granted according to law. . . ; Mr. Abbott said the Howard amendment was operative for three reasons, viz; 1st. That it was n part of the constitution of the United States; 2d. Because itha been rat ified by this IJegiolature. ; 3d. .Because its ratification wn.t a precedent to the States lately in rebellion regaining adinWsiou in the Union.' , - . I ..'.! j ! - I i . Mr. Pofl considered the Howard Aftnend- nieji a part of the Constitution. Three fourths of the Itve States had ratified it. The Seceding Stfltes had waged war for the purpose of establishing a government. 1otik3 to that of the Un!tel Statec. ITieir relation to the government lad, therefore, been de stroyed in apolitical sense, and they became as dead States .deprived of their full rights in this Union, j Congrejjs had a' opted tlie recon stmctifen acts wiili extreme caution, and we had sworn to support the laws of the United StaUs, and wei are bound to exclude those b-inhd by the Howard Amendment. Mf. Stilly said the question was not a po- liticil one. I The Leai.-lature had ratified the Howard amendment and whether it was a part ot tne i uoosiitntion or notf it was biiwiing npon North Carolina. A depart ore from its provisions wonld not be to act in good taitli. 4 . . . !
