We want them to say their say, fight their fight out, and be done with it. If they can kill the new constitution, it is desireable that they "shall do it, and at once before they are accepted by Congress. When ; the work is done, it must be finished. Theie must be no overh auling of it; ; no regul ati ng th e states oyeragaliii npr can j;he?xjountry al lo w the rebels to -stab ihe new state governments at their -leisure, Next to impartial provisions. it is desireable that the - new constitutions "command the approval of majorities of the legal voters or the respective t states. : It would be a farce, productive of infinite mk- to.declare any adopted, which do no com mand such support.
