VOORHEES, and his Record Of Treason,

T. -
There haslbeen atgreat sounding 26i
trumpets over the speech which DAN
VOORHEES, Is announced to deliver
here to-day. TO all of our citizens,
who have paid much attention to DO
litical affairs during the past five
years, his record is pretty well known,
but there are many. who know little of
=. VOORHEES,, exceptas one of the JOHN
SON candidates for the United States
Senate, and as a Democratic leader.
1t will be profitable to inc ire who he
is, and what has been his position in
the past. That he has been a consis-
tent and unrelenting opponent of the
Government during the war, none of
his own partizans will deny. Like one
of our own local Democratic politi-
clans, he has, during the last five
years, been making his record. II
In a speeeha at Greencastle, in April.
1861, the very month that Fort Sumter
was fred upon, we find him making
the following assertions, to which he
faithfully adhered during the whole
war: a..1eIi}5 s,S.3
