Certain amendments were proposed to our admirable State constitution, made
necessary, in the opinion of the convention, by the altered relations of slavery,
and by the action of persons engaged in the rebellion, who had temporarily
usurped the machinery of the State government, and by the vacancy of the
several State offices, for the filling of which there was no present provision of
law. These amendments the convention submitted to the vote of their constituents on the 22d of February, 1865, and they were by them adopted.
While this proceeding met with the concurrence and co-operation of the military governor, it was the spontaneous action of the loyal people themselves.
Having thus provided for the reorganization of the government under her
pre-existing constitution so amended, the work was completed by the election
of a governor and legislature on the 4th of March following, who, on the 3d of
April, entered upon the duties of their respective offices.
