is thirty-six; and whereas the before specially-named States whose Legislatures have ratified the said proposed amendment, constitute three-fourths of the whole number of States in the United States; Now, therefore, be it known that I, William H. Seward, Secretary of State of the United States, by virtue and in pursuance of the second section of the act of Congress approved the 20th of April, 1818, entitled "an act to provide for the publication of the laws of the United States, and for ottify that the amendment aforesaid has become valid, to all intents and purposes, as a part of the Constitution of the United States. In testimony whereof I have herewith set my hand and caused the seal of the Department of State to be affixed. Done at the city of Washington this eighteenth day of December, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-five, and of the Independence of the United States of America the ninetieth. William H. Seward, Secretary of State.

The good of the country and economy require that the force left in the interior, where there are many freedmen, should be white. He further remarks: "My observations lead me to the conclusion that the citizens of the Southern States are anxious to return to self-government within the Union as soon as possible, and, that, whilst reconstructing, they want and require protection from the Government." The report is very interesting, and furnishes many favorable facts in regard to the condition of affairs in the Southern States, and shows throughout a friendly feeling towards the South.
