Mr.. voorhees, at Spencer. He is
"ioase I'm his Deestriek," and has
lost hts Belper.


Ger. JULY 2sth. which begins a. follows
"Mr. Voorhees, spoke here TO day to s

the people Of Indiana what 10 do He said
that Mr.. Clay made speech in Cincin

forward Helpers book. aud denounced it

We transfer to our columns the above
from the letter before US. TO show the reader
what are 10 be the issues upon which Mr..
Voorhees, intends making the coming cam
paign. he opens with 4 tissue Of false
hoois. and he will close. we have no doubt,
with one mighty gust. The great issues Of
the dsy-thoss doctrines which are now
thrilling the public pulse and trembling
through the popular heart, he will entirely
ignore. and for the best reason in the
world. because he neither understands, nor
cen discuss them. He will appeal to The
passions and prejudices OF his auditors,
aud resort to all the clap trap of the pot
house politician. Abolitienism will be
the polar star in all his speeches. De will
roll IL as y sweet morsel under his tongue,
and belch it forth in quantities to suit cir
cumstaucss. lie will cry over Helpers
Impending Crisis (s book written by
Southern man as q distressed child cries
over lost top. He will tell all imaginable
kinds Of miraculous ssories-such as Fred
Douglas being on the stand with Cassius

other equally notorious, false, and mali
eiOus assertions. Helper, poor, poor
Helper has never fallen into the hons Jaw
until now. The honest world has laughed

she last several mouths. but now the peo
pie will be called upon to take another
broad grin at it. We had supposed. since
Mr.. Sherman was not elected Speaker.
that Helper had answered ITS purpose and
would be consigned to The dust Of the
library. But it has now to answer
another, an additional purpose--it has to
assist D. W. voorhees, into Congress-
Well that is the vilest purpose we ever
supposed the work Of this Southern Abol
itionIst would be used for.
We take the following further para.
graph from the letter before us:
"Mr. Voorhees, said he heard that Help
ers book was for sale in the tow of Spen-
Ger, by a Republican, and he was sorry for
IL" A voice from the crowd said, "It is
sold BY James Meek, our Postmaster, a
Douglas Democrat" voorhees,, much per.
picked, said. "Mr. Meek. il you are sellins
them, you are trying 10 give the Black Re.
Publicans light. have a copy here ShIcL
l bought and paid for, il there is a RePub
iicsn here who will promise to read il, be
may have this copy" A Republican
steps forward and says, Il will take it, !"
aud Mr.. ". handed it to him. and told him
to read il. Several voices, Have you aDy
more. IL you have We will take them. -
VOORHEES, was silent and looked like wet

1t will be seen by the above that the
Douglas candidate for Congress in this
District has lost his Helpers Impending
Crisis-his whole stock in trade. What,
lin the name Of all the gods at once" is
10 be done. r. would have been better,
bad Danil renamed forever iu the lions
den, Than to have met with this great
mishsp. II is great misfortune. terri
Die calamity, an overwhelming casualty.
The loss Of pair Of red shoes bys lIttls
Miss, a painted horse BY four year old
boy, or jug Of red eye by modern Dem
ocrat. would not bs half so great. Jus,
think of it-a Douglas sspirant for Con
gress "losss in bis Deestrick," without a
copy Of Helper in his pocket. Goats aud
monkeys, what singular case of individ
usl bad luck. Think Of il ye sages who
are wont to philosophise on the neesssif.
Of misfortune - vas ever the fates sC
against personal ambition. A Douglasit'
in the field without Helper. A ship a
sea without a rudder. A steamer on tn
ocean aud the compass lost. A Democra
turned loase" and his Helper minus.
Well, what is to be done-surely DAME
must have another Helper. for every on
knows he will want all the help he ca
get. before "Chill October's surly blast
lays fields aud forests bare"
We propose a new copy OF this iDvaius

be illustrated in divers places with III
