own con gress gress gresa had no just juat ground of complaint that he had done so ile he was satisfied that no long continuance of military government govern mener could be tolerated that the whole country demand the restoration of civil government and not to give it to the lately rebellious states would be an admission of the failure of the administration and of the thie party which carried through the war the proper system of pacification should be the one which tended to everywhere stimulate lo loyalty rather than impose direct external force in the case cas e of the Freed mens bureau lie he was not against the bureau in toto fofo for or he was vas s still till using it and might continue to do so for more than a year yet he would say to the north horth I 1 will put an end to it

governments and as far as executive acts could do it would restore them to their position in the union they had so far accepted the conditions that he regarded the experiment sue cess ful fui theme there was now but one respect in which those states did not exercise their full rights and that was representation in congress in this lie he had advised some principle stimulating their loyalty to be applied he would admit I 1 only such represent representatives at ives ag asare asaro are in fact loyal upon their giving satis satisfactory fact ory evidence he did not ask to be the judge of the elections and qualifications of members of congress nor of their loyalty congress was its own judge and he had no dream of interfering with its constitutional rights his whole heart was with the true men who had carried the country through the war and he earnestly desired to 0 maintain a cordial and perfect understanding with them this sentiment lie he betya regarded ded as entirely consistent
