The great v/ork l)efore us is to restore these States to their ' ' practical relations with the Union' ' at the ear- liest moment consistent with the future security, peace, and perpetuity of the Government. On whom devolves the duty of deciding when these States are in a condition to be repre- sented here? Not the Executive. No such power has ever been delegated to him. Not the House of Representatives or the Senate acting inde- pendent of each other, butthelaw-makingpower of the Government al...one is competent to per- form this important duty. In confirmation of this view of the subject I add the express dec- larations of the President himself, through the Secretary of State. On July 24, 1865, Mr. Sew- ard telegraphed to the "provisional governor" of Mississippi: "The government of the State will be provisional onlj-. Until the civilauthorities shall be restored with the approval of Congress. " So, on September 12, 1805, he wrote to Gov- ernor Marvin, of Florida: "It must, however, be distinctly understood that tho restoration to which your proclamation refers will be subject to the decision of Congress.
