A communication communica-tion was received from the secretary of the treasury iu reply to the resolution resolu-tion of the loth inst., which was rend. When conoiceration of the legislative legisla-tive appropriation bill was resumed Blaine began bis speech. Speaking on the tentative appropriation bill, he said at tempts were being made to show that Webster recanted aud changed his views on the nature of our government, in his cloHing years. The chance words used by ditkrent men to describa our governmental system need not be taken too liberally. Tue important fact is that as between nationality and state rights. Webster throw his influence in tavor of the former. He quoted Webster's own comments on the Capon Spring speech, showing that he had been misrepresented by the construction placed on that apeech in the south. Blaino road from J('eb ster'a comments on the Constitution, to the effect that the very first reao-luliou reao-luliou adopted by the constitutional convention of 1787 declared that government gov-ernment should be national and not a mere compact between stalB. Eaton had evidently got his inspiration for Friday's speech from A.

Another of Stephens' misrepresentations misrepresenta-tions was that Webster declined to vote agaiuat Calhoun's etatts righto resolutions of 1838. Webster had elaborately denounced theeo reaolu tious; yet Stephens said PKabsiter omnioualy refrained from putting bimaell on record against them. Alluding to Hill's assertion, that he assented to secession as he would to ihe death of his father, with sadness of heart, Blaine ehowtd that in tho Georgia convention that voted for secession, 89 voted agaiuat it and 208 lor it. It seemed, said Mlaiue, that as 208 voted for it Hill thought he would consent to the death of the old man rather than bo in the minority.

But President Lincoln did thiuk the democrats were ueipiug him along as rapidly aa the Bcnator from Georgia thought. Blaine then referred to the democratic committee that came to JPrtshiagton to effect the release of Vallandingham, but would not aign a paper pledging their loyalty, which waa suggpated by Preaident Lincoln aa preliminary to ft revojatiou of a military order that held ValUnding-bftm ValUnding-bftm in arrest. The oath required in Delaware and Maryland during ihe war waa only what every eenator had to take. Bayard roBe and warmly defended the loyalty of the people of Delaware, tie eaid Blaine could not mention one unpatiiotio act ol that state. He had always personally resented any imputation of dialoyalty. The oath required was an insult to a people who ncoded no incitement to Blaino thought Bayard unduly aeuaitivo. He had only quoted the rcaolution of the Delaware legislature. legis-lature. The 8chenclc order ware ieaued ou proof that sedition eiiated. He then argued that the democracy of to-day were seeking to carry out the priuciplea of Calhoun and Breck-enridge Breck-enridge and not those of Jackson and Douglsa. He then spone of the distinctive dis-tinctive character of the school books of the south, in which principles hostile hos-tile to government were inculcated, and he gave the following from one of the eoulhren arithmetics aa a case in point: "If ten oowardly Yankees have to run, knowing thai confederates confeder-ates are following, how long would it bo before they were overtaken. He referred to the addreBB of John S, Erescott, South Carolina, at the University of Virgin, in which the speaker remarked that the Mayflower was filled with horrors and crimes, the Jamestown with fresmen, loyal to tho country and to God, and saying other things in denunciation of the Marjloicer and in praise of the James-toicn James-toicn emigrants. Morgan said he doubted if such school books were used in the eoutn. II so. he would have heard of them. There was some other literature wbics ought to be known. Ho read Irom tho minutes of the twelfth annual 'season of the African Methodist Episcopal churcb, held in December 1673, m Alabama, tu ehow that one of the members waa charged with voting the democratic ticket and the conference, upon considering the case, decided that the jurisdiction be lodged 'with tho Noith Alabama conference. (Laughter.) I Biaiue, resuming, read on ex-traet ex-traet from the epeech of Senator Hampton and said, if that meant anything, it meant a great deal. It meant preparation for another CJn-dict CJn-dict or it was idle rhetoric. Such waB the character of tho literature throughout through-out the south. Hampton replied that the words quoted did not name another rebellion. rebel-lion. If the language was Idle rhe-torio rhe-torio it was not such as the senator poured out. "Peace had her victories not leas renowned than war." Blaine replied Yea, but peace did not prevail at the battle of Waterloo, to which the senator' alluded. He repeated the language was either idlo rbetorio or a nrcdigious menace. In conclusion he said tbo laws to secure a fair and free elections ought not be repealed.
