he's. spoke 10 tho most disreputsble terms
Of Norfhsrn snsn. and of Northern sent
tasnt. Our object ia this exposs, was, TO
show how q Northern Democrat eeaid and
would prove recfesnt 70 hi. very hearth
ssoa- How. TO curry favor With another
section. he would Rbrss The vsty place Of {

Al this the Nc suots forthes ffom shis
address. To show that Mr.. Voorhees, in fur
lhsr pandcring 10 Southern feeling and
southern prejudice. actually misrepre<ents
and mis.tates the history OF the country.
In referring to the recent outrage Of John
Brown and bis fow followers. on the soil
Of Virginia, Mr.. voorheo suses the fol
lowing language:
"A vonderfrl scene is pfsaented 10 us a.
ne look back on the strange evsnts which
have recently eonvulssd the nation. ST.

IA was true that the old Union Of the
Fathers had not afforded her protection
against criminal outrage. twas true that
var had been proclaimed against her by
the consistent followers Of a prevalent Sec
