r. BLowHAaD BLAINE.
Senator Blaine called up McDonald's bill and
replied to Hills speech of yesterday. he read
the resolution which Hill endeavored to have
substituted for the secession ordinance in the
Georgia secession convention.
The preamble recites that, whereas, the State
Of Georgia cannot compAtibly with her safety
abide permanently in the union, without new
and ample security for future safety, still she
is not disposed to sever her connection pre-
cipitately, nor without consultation with her
Southern confederates. She invokes their aid
and cooperation to secure Huch rights In the
union, if possible, and to protect them out of
dained, that the several Southern States mann
ing them), are invited to meet this State by
delegates in congress at Atlanta.
The second section speaks of the seeded
States Is independent republics. The third
section declares that iuaamuch a. Georgia is
resolved not to abide permanently in the
union without satisfactory guarantees of fn-
ture security, the following proportions are
suggested for the consideration of her Southern
confederates as the substance of what she re-
CARDS indispensable amendments to the consti-
tuition of the United States.
Senator Blaine read the proposed amend
ments and said their effect would have been
to extend slavery over every foot of territory
in the United States, to make the slave code of
any Southern State the law in every Northern
State, aud to prohibit eolored men from hold
ing any office. The other sections pledged
Georgia to cooperate with and protect any of
the seeded Southern States that should be at
tacks by the general government before the
action of the Atlanta convention. and declares
that Georgia will continue to hold certain forts
and other federal property then in her posses
sion until such action.
Senator Blaine said this showed that Geor-
sia was already in rebellion. Section says if
all efforts fail to secure the rights of States in
the union, and she be reluctantly compelled to
resume her separate independence, she will
unite with other States similarly situated, to
form Southern confederacy on the basis of
.he constitution of the United States.
Senator Blaine said had he been Southern
man he would infinitely rather have voted for
the secession ordinance which contained no
word disrespectful of the union than for this
substitute. He then said the measure of re-
taliation framed by Hill was worded SO as to
Southern soil did SO for the purpose of melting
instruction, aud punished him therefor. 1t
