We clip from tho iJaity Ulhc tho sub joined remarks of Senator Morton, in the Senate, on in amendment ofi'ered by Mr. Fekkkndkn to the supplemental reconstruction bill, by which tho option would bo left with tho present I'roi,Moiial Governments of tho lalo rebel Slate to call or not to call conventions for framing nsw constitutions for tbeir , rrcctlso States, in confvimity with tho Into net of Congress. In opposition to tins amendment,which w anhxcqucittly rejected by a decided tapjorit v. cur Senator imIc o i follows: w m w . . . Mr. President, I have very grrot rmcct for the judgment of tho ilisiuif uUhtd Jt- n - ator 1 1 out Maine who ofAi this Ktui t.d-' me nt, but I can not vote lor it. , Tho cffect of (hi amendment, as I underlined tt, is to enable the cxtMing ctato govent mctili in tho ulcl Slate to uclcrmtno whether or not there shall bo a convention, atiJ whether or not there hall be reconstruction. , We havo declared thono S.tuto govcriiuictits to be provisional, but this amcudnicnt will enable them to t crj clualo themtelvca as continui tg and ptrmancot goverunicnt1.

I nik, sir, it' wo huvo not, u a party, for two years pnht denounced I he in us illegal and unauthorized, and I ot-k have n not denounced tl.tin us being put by tho Prcidcnt into tho bunds of iclcl for rebel purposes, giving to the rclcl cf tho South the exclustvo nincbinery of do. mcstio State govern tue uti? I nk if the present Prc&idciit bus not even been threatened w ith impeachment for the erection of ihoc government;.? An J yet now it is deliberately propocd to put into their hand -the determination of tho whole question of reconstruction, to say whether it hall taU pluco or not. Sir, can we before tho country and justify ourtelvc iu doing thii thing? The Senator IWm Nevada (Mr. Nye) tulks about the danger of the hour. J will tell him where I think the danger of tho hour lie. It is iu even permitting the imprcKMon to go abroad that tho prcat Union party is (ppoccd to reconstruction, and for political jurpoMS is holding it back. Whenever that im predion t-Iiull fasten itftlf upon the mind of the people of thi country we hi. all g. into a minority.Tho success of tho Union party, in my opinion, depend upon speedy und su'jccrrful reconduction; ar.d if we ore ! ablo to iro into tho canvas of 1SCS nnd have inscribed upon our banner "iho rebellion suppressed, tho Union retoicJ, equal rights and liberty secured .o all," there can be no successful opposition inndo to us, but wo shall sweep every Northern iStntc, and perhaps soino Southern fctatcs, according to tho prediction ol tho Senator from Massachusetts. Hut if by our speeches or our votes, here or elsewhere, wc shall allow the iii!piesiou to prevail that we ore easting obstacles in tho way of rccon struction, that wo aro making legal provisions which may bo taken advantage of by southern rcbeU to hold reconstruction back, wo shall receive the condemnation of tho people Sir, tho danger to the Republican party consist in the lingering of this woik, in its procrastination, in it being long diawn out. If we go into the canvass of JSCS with the Southern States in a worso condition than they were at the end of tho war, and no real, progress rnide in', the werk of reconstruction, we may expect to tutet tery tciioua oppuoition; but if we shall po into the canvn with the work accomplished, with tho Colon restored, with liberty aud cqu.il rights secured to all, wo shall have nccomplishcd the greatest work that any political party ever accomplished, and we shall bo everywhere triumphant. Upon every ground of policy, upon every ground of con.sisteucy, we dare not now place the wholo question back in the hands of theso rebel State government, which wo havo so bitterly denounced ever sinco they wcro erected by the President. ccan justuy ourselves in that courso upon no rcanou that has been offered hero this day. I say, let tho work of reconstruction go on.' So far from putting it into the power of thexo rebel Stato governments to stny tho work, I am opposed even to submitting tho question of contention or no Convention to tho people, a proposed by tho Senator form Missouri, and I am opposed to submitting that question to tho convention when it meet. Let tho convention bo elected; let it form constitution; let that constitution be discussed and submitted to tho people. All then havo tho right to vofo upon tho constitution. They will that election have had time for deliberation; they will have had tho bcucGt of discussion;, and I leliove that any fair contttitution which shall have been mado in any of theso States will then be adopted.- Uui it U now pro-

We make the following extracts from tho speech of Governor Brown at tho meeting held at Atlanta advocating action under tho ShcrmanShellabargcr Rill: The great trouble with our pcoplo seems to bo that they do not. rccognizo tho fact that thoy are n tonqntrtil jnuipte,. and they must submit to whatever tcrum tho conqueror imposes upon us.

ATo aro all akin to Tom JvtTcrton and tho other leaders who believe In iho right and Christian duty of Secession or succession of dimocratio power.

There is music in tho gcntlo falling of tho rain. Thcro i music in the low murmurings of the playful brook. There is musio in the work-shop.
