Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Citizen's Duty in the Present Crisis I begin the discussion with the theory of immediate reconstruo tion. Those who adopt this theory insist, that Congress should at once concede to the rebel States, taken just as they are, without anyfarther conditions, the right of representation in both Houses of Con gress. This ought to have been done at the last session of Congress; and it ought now to be done at the earliest practicable moment. The President and those who support him hold this View. I do not adopt this doctrine; and if you will give me your candid attention, I will just as candidly state to you some of my reasons.
