Présentation de l'éditeur

United States and none of graver moment ever agitated the public mind is that concerning the claims of the inhabitants of the several States, recently in open rebellion against the national Government, to be re-admitted to the exercise of the personal and corpo: rate political powers and franchises which they enjoyed under the Constitution before they made war upon the Union in order to accomplish its destruction. That, by reason of that rebellion and its suppression, those who were parties to it forfeited their rights, as individual citizens, to property, liberty, and life, of which they could at any time be deprived by due process of law, and to which they could be restored only by the pardon of the Government, no one who does not justify the rebellion denies.
