in favor Of some of the States. He spoke in
that letter of the Observation-Disclosures Of tha
States, STAT which stephens Sized on as an admis-
sion OF the extreme dogma of State rights.
Mr.. blaine made other allusions to Mr.. Ea-
toms speech, who asked that Mr.. Blaine
should state what he had read from the
Record
Mr. Elaine said ha would road anonuh III
the Record from the Senator'S sneaeh before
he GOT through.
Mr.. Eaton'.That will ba the best mart of |
your gpeech." TIauphter.I
Mr.. blaine next turned on the speech of Mr..
Hill and said he was s11rnrised in view of the
grief Mr.. Hin felt on the passage of the
Georgia ordinance of secession that he fMr.
Hin had sat in his room thai, night and re-
fused to make speech when gerenaded but
how strange II waa that IN examining thp
Record if t1,rns ont that Mr., Hill was one of
the twenty-eiuht who voted for the ordinance
and Mesars. Stephens and Herschell johnson
voted against it. He treated Mr.. Hills grief
In the most ironical terms. Mr.. Blaine re-
ferred to Mr.. Eaton's statement that it was
the Democratic party who saved the Union
He himself had betn drafted. but being 1n
Congress and unable to 90 he had hired q
seurvy fellow who turned out to
be q Democrat
