REMARKS OF SENATOR O- P. MORTON, On the Goergia BUI, Is tiik Sksxte, Dec. 17, 1869. Mr. Morton. Now, Mr. President, one or two words in answer to the Senator from New York and the Senator from Yerjnont who spose yesterday, ine senator from New York says that if we require Georgia to ratify the Fifteenth Amendment we shall thereby furnish a considerable quantity of fired ammunition to the enemy by which to impeach oat action. If that furnishes ammaoition, they have got enough for our own destruction already. We required the rebel States to ratify the Fourteenth Amendment, and by means of that requirement it stands ratified to-day; and if we furnish to our en. tones fixed ammunition in the way the -Senator intimates, they have got enough of it to destroy the Fourteenth Amendment. Jlr. Conkling. Will the honorable -Senator allow me just there to make a suggestion to him? I meant to make it when I was up before. I am aware that Andrew Johnson and those who acted with biro invented the device the Senator now refers to. When President, r acting President of the United States, Mr. Johqsoa put specifically to these States, as he called them, the proposition that they should be readmitted to relations with the l Dion upon conaiiion oi tneir ranging j -a amendment of the Constitution; and that mode of treating the States, I am re, was carried by Congress into ti e earlier acts of reconstruction. Now, l at to the honorable Senator from lndil.Qiocratic party put their fi-igers upon ! n as a lawyer, mat uiy answer wnea u.e , tbat was that they were estopped upo cvery d.ctiine of estoppal, frcia complain-! ins of us in that particular. Their rep- j TeTentative and their organ invented atla j anau-urated it, and we suffered it to be carried for a time into the earlier rccooauction acts. That is my answer to the . . . ; ..! r ..n- ii . -. ' . . 5 . . 1 1 , before that the Democratic party have ; any right to cooiplaio of us for what we j bave done heretofore. ; Mr. Motion. If ibat is a cool answer, ihatthe Democratic party cannot complain j o! what has been done heretofore, it will ; be good an.wer that they cannot complain t wliat i. rroposcdtj be done now in regard I to ihe Fifteenth Ameaduient. Nor, Mr. President, is it any good answer to say that Andrew Jolnoon iuvented this thing. lie may have done so iu regard to ' "v i Tliirtcenth Amendment, Put It was ,1 , , - f ,-. ... .1. , ! ......,' .1 .1 Vi.-f , l. ...I . . .. i . v .... i . .1 ..i .. ,v ;-. -..,.;fi.i l,.... . t ?

If we in the Senate to-night shall require Geor- j gia to ratny u it will be regarded throughout this whole

Louisville, if she wiil improve her natural position on the river has the advantage over Cincinnati as a great inland commercial city, for she is farther southwest on the river, at the Falls, below which point the largest class steamers can navigate the river at pll seasons of the year. From this source, in addition to her railroad connections, she would derive a large business, provided she had a suitable northeastern connection Again, the co-istruction ot the road ; . . i would greatly improve the interior town nd cities on the line, and moreover enhance the value of land by affording so ' great an cutlet and communication with j the coaikets of the world.
