HIS RECORD ANAlNZED--AN opIoUs coMp.ARIsON.
The following arc extracts from the speech of
Hon. D. W. VOORHEES,, Of Indiana, in tho House,
ON Monday;
AS to the nominee of tho Cincinnati Conven-
ton. whoever believed in the high protective
tariff principles of it's chief man might support
him, but he would not Was he expected to sup
port Mr. Greeley because ho had been the life
long chamdion Of doctrines which he (Mr. Voor-
hees) opposedY Was lie expected, az a Western
man, representing Western laboring consiit-
uency, that was ground down by high protec-
tive tariff monopoly, to support the great champ
ion Of protection? Was he expected to support
a man who had been tho most clamorous advo-
cate in ali the land for that Ku-ltlnx legislation
which has desolated the homes of the Southern
people? If MIR. Greeleys nomination promised
relief TO that blasted and down-trodden section,
there was nothing which he (Alr. Voorhees)
would not forego to Bubserveso holy and 30 be-
nign purpose.
But Mr.. Greeley had been the earnest adyo-
cate of tho legislation which had paralyzed and
prostrated the South; and was that the reason
why he should get his support. He was told
that the present Administration had been cruel
and unkind TO the South, but the administration
had simply executed law which the Cincinnati
nominee had dictated to Congress. That was
all the difference between them. One was the
executive officer acting under the cath of Office
to execute the law, and the other was a man
who had no oath on his conscience In regard to
the matter, but who urged tho passage of that
legislation. ENM 81
Was he expected to support Mr.. Greeley be-
cause recently, no desired still further ex-
tension of the Presidents power to suspend
habeaa corpus all over the South? Was he OK
pected to support him because he was the earn
est and urgent advocate Of the present force
bayonet" Election law that subjected every
voting precinct Of 10000 people to the superyi-
sion. and in certain coning gencies to the control,
Of tho military? Was he expected to support
him because two months ago this very man had
camord and ragged in his great organ in favor of
a law to place the election in tho State Of New
York under Federal control, and also in certain
contingencies under military control'
Was such man fit to receive hid vote for the
Presidency? Was such man fit to be in that
high placer Was that the voice Of statesman
ship which was called for at this hour5 Was
that REFORM to go before the union sentiment
of the country and appeal to it in favor Of a
man who stood on the record for the "inalena-
bic right" of a State or of a community to dis
solve this Union? Was he, as friend Of the
Southern people, called upon to vote for man
WHO, during the entire FAN and Winter of 1860
wrote with all his acknowledged power in favor
Of tho inalenable rights Of any dissatisfied por-
tion Of the country to break up tho Union and
form another Government for themselves?

AN additional evidence of Andrew
Johnson's malignant trcachery toward:
the South and the Conservative party
is furnished by the fact, that all hi,
energies are devoted to a revival Of
The issues of the war, in the hope that
their discussion here, may revive all
the evil passions of the North and
drive its people, as in 1853" to the
support Of Grant. That he is. al
heart, Grant man is apparent in all
he says and does, and all his pretended
devotion to Democracy and the Con.
stitution, was turned into real hate Of
both, by his defeat for the Senate, and
his failure before the recent State Con.
vcntion. He acted the knave in be
traying Tennessee; its people will moi
be free from suspicion of like mora
turpitude, should they, knowing tho
facts, again trust him.
