They had the right under resolutions passed by both Houses of Congress in 1861. Those resolu- tions were not concurrent, but they were substantially identical. Moreover, the States were entitled to be so represented on other grounds of fairness and good faith. The President, not in pursuance of any constitutional power, had called on the confederated States to accept certain conditions for their admission to the exercise of their legitimate functions as members of tlie Union, — the ratifi- cati...on of the amendment to the Constitution, abolishing slavery, and the repudiation of the debts contracted to overthrow the Government. These conditions were met and accepted. The exaction of new conditions is unjust, a violation of the faith of the government, subversive of the principles of our political system, and dangerous to the public prosperity and peace. [Applause. ] Each Ilouse of Congress may, as the judge of the qualifi- cations of its own members, reject individuals for just cause ; but the two bodies, acting conjointly, cannot exclude entire delegations without an unwarrantable assumption of power.
