WASHINGTON, May %.
Since the speech of Hon ID. W VOORHEES,, OF
Indiana. which exposed and proved the enormous
rObberies which have been officially committed
under this Administration, there has been an evi
dent hutterng upon the part of prominent mem
bers OF the great moral reform and retrenchment
party of the Abolltionists. That Mr.. Voorhees,
should have had the audacity to prove Cameron
a swindler, Fremont corruptOnist and would
be usurper, and Gideon WelIes a conniver at pub
lie robbery through his brother-ln law Morgan, il
denounced as dislOyaty and treason. These
worthless forget that Voorhees, proves all that he
charges bv Republican investigating committees;
they forget that Dawes and John Z. Hale pro-
nounce the same judgment upon Welles and
Cameron, and that Joseph Holt Hugh Campbell
and Judge Davis furnish the proof against Ere
mont. In Mr.. Voorhees, it is, they say, disloyal
to reiterate their own charges and demand public
condemnation for the culprits But in my opinion
Mr.. Abe Lincoln is traitor to the interests of
tax ridden people, because he fails to reprimand
even, either Cameron, Fremont or Welles-
because he sends the late Secretary of War to
Russia Ambassador, even after his cen
sure bv the House-because he gives Fremont
a new department in which to plumber and
usurp-because he keeps Welles, reeking in
corruption, as his constitutional adviser, where
he can still steal.
Is Lincoln loyal to the interests of the tax
PAYERS of the Northwest when he rewards and re-
tains in place those who steal the peoples money!
Is he not recreant To his duty, to his country and
to the ab0ring millions OF free white men whose
sweat and toll is the revenue that yitalZes the
Government?
Mr. Kelly, Of Pennsy lvana, is very wrOth at
Voorhees-he is very much exaSpera ed 10y De
mOcracy tie Is very sarcastic in his aliuSOns to
the anti Abolitonists everywhere Let me tell
you why he is thus demonstratlve in his patriot
ism-his ardent exterminatiOnism tor slavery.
Kelly is from Philadelphia. Kelly knows OF
good wagon contract--a job for making fifteen
hundred army wagons, with "A profit OF so upon
each wagon, which partially went into some Con
gressional pockets. Kelly does not wish others
to know this fact, but murder will out. The
thieves have fallen out, and certain DR.. Smith,
of Pennsylvania, is suing in Philadelphia court
a certain patriotic and Abolition member OF Con
gress obtain a fair portion of the spols. Dawes
knows ali about the matter; the Contract Com
mittee have taken testimony upon this wagon
business. and when they make Their next report,
Kelly viii he no better pleased with it than he
was with the last One-perhaps not well. he
Is remarkably ardent Republican, 4 shining
light in the great moral party.
And then the very red-iaced and puffy bellied
Mr.. Kellogg. of Miehigan, he too. is very much
Impressed with the treason OF Mr. Voorhees,; but
one Mr. Dan. Hubbard, OF jackson, Michigan
may possibly give some light as what horSe-
tile movements have made Kellogg SO purely de-
voted to the interests of his country. Some mem
Der OF Congress from Michigan made fifteen hun
dred dollars OH sing lie contract for cavalry horses
so Hubbard states. Could il have been the vir-
tuOuS kelloggI
Senator Simmons OF Rhode Island, too, is ter
rbly opposed to the traitOrOus exposures OF theft
hx a1-. IL, 4,
mentS of Mr.. Richardson which show how much
the niger boarding house kept by Lincoln and
company has cost the white tax PAYERS of the
country.
But am credihly informed by person who
knows, from the Holt Commission, that IA Ger
tain New England Senator has been so foolish as
to write letter which shows that he is to get a
dollar upon each one of the fifty thousand guns
furnished to the United States by certain parties.
Perhaps the Hon. Joseph Holt viii illuminate
tins matter when he makes his report. We shall
then know who has these persmmons.
In the Indiana Department formerly known
the Department OF the Interior-there was fur
ry some weeks since, ceeated by some newspaper
charges, and thence came threit from the in
dignant Caleb Smith that he would demand an
immediate investigation TO clear his branch OF the
Government from all faint OF corruption. But
the threat remains unexecuted. Mr.. Dole,
the Commissioner of Indian Affairs ought 10
have his whole bureau aired. He ought 10 let
the people know that he is feeding At enormous
expense eight thousand Indians in an extra
official way in Kansas Mr. Dole ought also to
explain To the people the new system OF trade
upon Indian reservations which he and certain
Mr. Thomas kelrney have introduced under tie
benign and moral Administration of TO day.
Dole ought, by all means, to yentilate his branch
OF the Government, and exhibit To admring
public the beatifc purity of his conduct OF the
Indian Bureau.
1t will be highly interesting to learn of the
complete vndication of Kelly, but we must
"wait for the wagon" Ii will be peculiarly
pleasing to discover the undespoiled morality of
Michigan Kellogg, but We must not, like Rich
ard | II, offer a kingdom for horse. l. Will be
intensely ecstatc to hear the explosion of the
New England gun speculation by United States
Senator.
IL will soon be illustrated that those who de-
nounce all Democrats who are, by exposing
crime in high places avertng increased woes OF
taxation from the people, traitors, are them
selves hypoertes and traitors to honesty and
honor and decency sss
