The Clerk read as follows: “What is the remedyfor so great an injustice to the faithful friends of the nation, and so palpable a dangerto the body politic? As the facts cannot be enied, and the great Law Giver of cannot permit so crying an injustice, the trheemeudnyivmerusset be found, and, applied: Moreover, the loyal masses have willed that no single fruit of the hard earned victory shall be propositions lost. We respectfully submit the of the loyal Union sufferers, whosedevotion has been proven, and whose claims cannot be disregarded without peril to the nation, not from us, ut. from your undisguised, enemies and ours, as a asis for decisive action. The remedy is plain and simple. The nation's valor, with the blessing of Heaven, has conquered those, who voluntarily, will einngelymies and persistently, made themselves public and involved their States in. all the conse of conquered insurgents. If traitors, they forfeited their rights to life, liberty, and property; if, as they claim, they were a nation of public enemies, tqhueerteedrraitroer iseusbjaened districts which have been conto the lawmaking power, which olone can decide, accept, and legalize war and peace. In every light, therefore, the power exists, and the:ie. of the ease demand immediate and prompt Ction. "Along ineof precedents, bothorosU.S and of these same rebels as ‘confederate States, ’ have established that whateveroin a State is recognized by the political or lawmaking power of the nation is the lawful goyernment, is the State, and there is no appeal from this decision but by the bayonet. We pray you, then, to set aside thesehos tile organizations, illegally and unconstitutionally created and incapable of self government, because hostile to the nation; and, under the nation's power as conservator of true men, regardless of race, authorize the loyal and or color, to organize governments, excluding so many of the unrepentant rebels as shall be found othe permanent security and preservation of the Union. In this way and in no other, we verily believe those guarantees may be oitained which clearly define and certainly protect the American citizen, equalize representation, give suffrage to loyal voters only, disqualify the traitor for franchise and office, make securethe national debt incurred in the cause of liberty, forever silence the holders of the rebel promises, elevateman hood, reward devotion to blessings the Union, and secure the of liberty, to our posterity and yours. “We plead for thesethings, not for ourselves and fellow sufferers only, but for our still bleeding country, from which capital, enterprise, free labor, free speech, the blessings of education, the rapid strides of internal improvements, and large progressive views are virtually expelled by ignorance, stupidity, bigotry, treason, and rebellion. “We ask for early, speedy, sharp, short, and deci sive action; and we ask it in the names and behalf of the millions of devoted friends of the Union inhabiting the best parts of the continent, no one of whom can claim that he enjoys the blessings of free republican government or the security which the Constitution of the U.S. guarantics to citizen.” the
