liberal response in all parts of be Confede-

supply the place Of the blanket. Hurry up

Sensible,

Hon. ID. w. Voorhees,, democratic
congressman Of Indiana, made a
speach at Greencastle the other .dav,
in whichhe said, amongst other good
things:
Indiana had no quarrel with the
south-had no reas on to wage war
upon her, for the south had always
been the friend of the west, while
the eastern states had done all in their
power to cripple us in our early In
fancy. Should war be inaugurated
by the administration of Abraham
Lincoln, it would be = party war-a
war ofpassion Il war of vindic.ive
malice, and a war having no sanction
in the political impulses Of the peo-
pie Of the north or west. "For my
self" said Mr. Voorhees,, II say to
you, my constituents, that as your
representative l. will never vote one
dollar, one man, Or one gun to the
administration Of Abraham Lincoln
to make war Hpon the south, to carry
death and destruction to the land of
Washington, Jackson, Clay and Joe
Davis. Never never! will de-
frna my country from foreign inva-
Sior- and, vote the last farthing to
save her from dishonor, but you must
not ask int, You must not expect me
to counsel the slaughter of those who
are to us as fathers, brothers and
friends"
