Dan Voorhees, was nominated by the
Democracy in his district on the 18th
inst. After his nomination he made a
speech in which he said: sIn Opposi-
tion to the nomination of Mr.. Greeley
no one will expect me to now or here
after rctract one word that I have spo-
ken or written upon that subject" -
But he further says that .as l cannot
control the councils ofthe democratic
party l shall submit to them hoping
that time may show it's ways to be
wiser and more beneficial to the coun-
try than l predicted
His sayings, which he declines to
withdraw, are some Of them as follows,
made in Congress May I3th, 1872, ten
days after the nomination Of Greeley:
Parties to be successful must be
bound together by principle. 1 am
told we need success. 1 desire it as
much as any one, but there is something
which is better Ear higher than sue
cess and sweeter to my heart. Once
the leader of great cause, whose
name l mention with veneratiOn, said
it was better to be right than to sue
ceed.
! shall vote for the man|who represents
them when I find him in the field. l
shall not vote for any man who speaks
ofme and my party in the following
language:
The Democratic party has three
million votes, and to-day, in behalf Of
this noblest and truest band ofmen the
world ever saw, enter my protest
against any attempt to transfer to a
camp where they have nothing to gain
and everything to lose.
"Point, whenever you will to an
election district which you will pro-
nonnce morally rotten-given up to
debauchery and vice-and that district
will be found at nearly or every elec-
tion giving large majority for that
which styles the Democratic party"
"Take all the haunts Of debauchery
in the land, and you will find nine-
tenths Of their master spirits active
participants of that same Democracy
"May II be written on
my grave that never was its follow
er, and lived and died in nothing its
debtor"

tE Democratic Liberalites grow elo.
urient over the results which will fol-
low the defeat of President Grant,
The South will embraces the North,
and peace and goodwill reign every
where" BY what means this apeace
and good win" are to be brought about
inthe South may be judged by the
means employed in the past. The
Presidential election of 1868 in the
State Of Louisiana affords q gleam Of
light on this subject. The Democrats
wanted to carry the election. AS thew
could not outvote the Republicans they
determined to kill them of. How wen
they succeeded may be learned from
the report Of the committee appointed
to investigate the affar. Wequote:
The testimony shows that over
two thousand persons were killed.
wounded, and otherwise injured N
that State, within q few weeks prior
to the Presidential election that half
Of the State was overrun BY violence
that midnight raids, secret murders.
and open riots kept the people in con.
stant terror until the Republican, snr-
rendered ell claims, and then the elec.
ton was carried by the Democracy"
II says Of the riot at the parish Of
st. Landry:
Here occurred one of the bloodiest
riots on record, in which the Ku-klux
killed and wounded over two hundred
Republicans in two days. A pile of
twenty -hve bodies of the victims was
found half buried in the woods. The
Ku-klux captured the masses, marked
them with badges of red flannel, en-
rolled them in clubs, marched them to
the polls, and made them vote the
Democratic ticket
This is not fiction but words of
truth from an impartial report. This
is "the peace and good willr which
would follow the defeat Of President
Grant; these are the " Liberalv rights
which would be allowed the loyal cit
izen. The instigators and the actors Of |
these terrible crimes are in favor of |
Horace Greeley. This one fact should
open the eyes of the people to the full
meaning Of this desperate combination |
Of anything to beat Grant Defestl
Grant, and the loyal people Of the |
South are once more at tho mercy Of |
the rebel bloodhounds, who only need |
his defeat to finish their work Of blood. |
Defeat Grant, and universal gloom will |
settle over the South, and obscure for
ever the sunshine Of liberty which is |
just beginning to light up its once des-
olate fields. Defeat Grant, and civili-
zation is retarded at least century.

The stern fact, then, which must be
squarely confronted Is, that either Mr..
Grant of Mr.. Greeley is to be the next
President. In view of this disagree
able alternative, what are good citizens
to do? Of course the action Of the
Baltimore Convention has not placed
Democrats under the slightest obliga-
tions to vote for Mr.. Greeley. It is
impudent to talk Of applying the party
lash under any circumstanees-un-
speakably impudent to talk of using It
to drive Democrats into the support of
one Of the worst embodiments of rad
icalism the country has ever known.
Democrats will vote as they please, or
abstain from voting If they please, and
they will be apt to resent with suitable
warmth any attempt at coercion. The
question is not at all one of party OBJ
legation, but one Of personal duty ex-
elusive.
Every democrat win decide, or at
least, ought to decide, this question for
himself. Most of those who are ac-
customed to act with the Democratic
party will probably think it their duty
to vote for Mr.. Greeley, either because
they think him personally less objec-
tionable that Grant, or hope he will
be subjected to better influence than
those to which Grant will certainly
continue to be subjected; or because
they hope by supporting him, to
change the political complexion of
Congress, and thus secure . greater
good by enduring lesser evil. A
smaller number will hold entirely
aloof from the contest, believing the
one evil to be about as great as the
other, and seeing no prospect of inn
provement in either direction as tile
result of exchanging one radical Presi-
denttQr another. A faw, possibly,
believing thAe there n loss t6Fhe fear
ed from 1 definite period of Gsaut
than from nm indefinite period Of Gree
ley, or actuated by feelings Of resent
ment toward the man who has, for
moro than q quarter of century,
shown himself their bitterest enemy
and their fiercest calumniator, and
toward the politicians who ask their
suffrage for such q man, will vote for
Grant.
Every democrat must decide for
what he will do.

In the N. Y. Tribune, in 1868, Mr.
Greeley thus accounted for the way
Mr.. Hoffman carried the State for
Seymour:
The vote Of our State was stolen
from Gen. Grant by the fouiest, most
audacious conspiracy and gigantic
fraud. She is far more decidedly Re-
publican than Pennsylvania is or ever
was. She was carried for Seymour
and Hoffman by crimes that ought to
fill fifty State prisons to overfiowing. .
Now Governor Hoffman is one Of
the chief henchman Of Horace Gree
ley In the base bargain and sale ar.
rangement between Greeley and Do.
mocracy.

A New York Herald reporter sums
up the result of an interview with the
President in the following paragraph
"In reference to the indirect claims
the President thought that America
had gained q triumph over Great Brit
ain. The President regards the North
Carolina prospect as excellent. He
says he goes to Washington when any
government matter requires his pres
ence, but he won't 60 this week. Moth
ing demands a Cabinet meeting for
some time. He says the trouble with
Greeley is that he wanted to fill all his
(the President's) offices with bad men"
The Quiet Man of Appamattox has
let the cat out of the bag in the above
statement.
Horace Greeley and Ruben E. Fem
ton have been for years the silent part
ners in the Tammany Hall Robbers
Roost- They have been continually
foisting upon the Administration such
thieves as Callicott and Bailey, until
finally Grant had to send the two latter
and many more Of their kidney of
whom Greeley was bondsman or
sponsor to the State penitentiary to
pound stone. In the meantime, the
New York Times, Grant paper, and
an enemy to the Greeley Fenton- Coch-
Hank Smith Tweed Sweeney and
Hall outfit commenced going for Tam
many, which resulted in an exhibit Of
fraud and rascality which astounded
the whole civilized world.
From that moment Greeley turned
from being an enthusiastic friend of
the Administration to its bitter vindic-
tive enemy. Hence the remark of the
President that 'sthe trouble with Gree
ley is that he wanted me to fill all his
(the President's) offices with bad men"
Hence the support which Greeley re-
ceives from Tweed and every other
thief in Tammany Hall.

Since the close Of the rebellion not
less than twenty-three thousand per-
sons, black and white, have been
scourged, banished, or murdered by
the Ku-Klux-Klans Of tho South. The
victims of their horrible barbarity
have been Republicans. Not q single
Democrat has suffered. Loyalty to
the United States Government brought
persecution, disloyalty and exemp-
tion.
Since the enforcement Of the Ku-
Klnx acts by the present Administra.
tion, peace and security have reigncd
throughout those States infested by
the Klans. The defeat of this Ad.
ministration will be the renewal o1
these organizations and repetition o
past outrages. Is there q Republican
In the land base enough to be a part,
TO SO great wrong? Millions o
loyal men and women South are do
pending on our party and Its stroh,
arm of Justice for continued protec
tion. The government must protec
them.
