At three o’clock J’, M. the Georgia bill came up, ana Mr. BUTLER, (rep.) of Mass,, proposed to let 1f be discussed to-day and to-morrow and to have the vote taken on Monday, no other business to be trans acted to-morrow. Agreed to without ovjectiun, Mr. BUTLER addressed the House in explanation and advocacy 01 the bil. He argued that Georgia presented herself now for the first ume, asking in proper guise for admission, She never had beeu ad- initted by law. ‘Two Of her representatives had been admutted to the House, but admitted under a mis- take of facts; but 1b had been thought that Georgia had been organized honestly, fairly and legally. Atter stating Various reasons lor the passage of the bul he said that it was necessary for anovier, grander and more compretiensive reason, and that was be- cause Jb Was'a grave and solemn exercise of the power of Congress over States which, having got into the Umon, undertook to oppress citizens of the United Staves, and to rebel against tbe laws and against the spiri of the constitution, The State of emnessee, 1or instance, beneving herself beyond tue power of Congress, had proceeded to abrogate every law and every constitutional provision on which she was aduiittea to representation.
