Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1876-09-21

sum- of 81 ,581 ,269. And in addition
to these private bills, there were in
troduced and are now pending a bill
TO refund the direct taxes to the
Southern States, amounting TO g.
492, ITO; a bill to refund the cotton
tax, amounting to $6S,072, 1888, and a
bill to allow compensation for all
property used, destroyed or damaged
during the war Now, how do the
people like this kind of economy?
Feasibility is a good thing in its way
but it won't win in the long run-Mr.
Voorhees, to the contrary notwith-
standing"
Mr.. Voorhees, felt very bad, also,
because the Republican party wasn't
ready to trust certain of the late Con-
federate leaders, while they did well
come others to their confidence and
to official position. Well, there is
very good reason for that; which is,
that Col. Mosby of Virginia and Gen.
Longstreet Of Mississippi and others
have ceased to be rebels and have de-
clared their intention Of burying the
past and their desire to once more be-
come loyal citizens Of the United
States. While on the other hand,
such men as Wade Hampton, Ex-
Governor Wise, Ben. Hill and others
they are not willing to crust" and
for such reasons as these: That these
men have never induced the people
Of the South to try and forget the
past so far as to bear no malice; be-
cause they have on all occasions
sought to revive the old animosities
and sectional hatred Of the South;
because they have said that they had
nothing to regret in the part they
took in the rebellion; in short be-
cause they have not shown the least
indication to become true, honest,
loyal citizens of the Union. Do the
people Of this country propose to
take to their bosoms such venomous
enemies as these? Perhaps Mr.. voor-
hees has not yet learned the differ
ence between loyalty and disloyalty,
and this is the only explanation Of
this pitiable exhibition OF ignorance.
But without further examining these
fallacies, let us inquire, who is this
Daniel w. Voorhees, who is trying to
inform the people Of their true friends,
and who comes before them with
such loyal mien to instruct them In
their duties? Why, it is the same
shameless coward, who, during the
war, uttered tksee words-words that
must be branded in the memory Of
every loyal Indianianl
Not a man, nor a dollar will vote
for this Infamous war. II / was q
volunteer would go to blacksmith
shop and haye band Of iron made
to put around my neck, and have it
labeled Lincoln Dog"
This is the effigy of an honest man
why now dares to come before the
citizens Of this State and say, We
all put down the rebellioni" ~we"--
that cowardly, sneaking Democratic
@we"-includes even such a man as
Daniel w. Voorhees,! Do the people
Of Indiana propose to take any stock
in that loyalOemocratic) Eve" which
is travelling around the country so
extensively? If they think Eve" did
put down the rebellion why do they
fiaunt the bloody shirt" In Demo
cratic professions as an insult to
every Union soldier?
And again: Is not this the same
Daniel W. Voorhees, In whose law
Office in Terre Haute was seized the
reasonable correspondence for the
purchase OF 10000 stands OF arms for
the Sons OF Liberty, and other letters
and documents. disclosing the plot
for opening the fire in the rear against
the Lincoln hirelings' Among these
documents was a letter from J..
Hardesty, OF Harrisonville, Va. to his
nephew, Daniel w. Voorhees,, dated
February II, 1862. in which Hardesty,
who was then prominent among the
Confederates, writes to MY Dear
Nephew: I'VE want you to hold that
100000 men in readiness, we do not
know how soon we may want them"
We commend these facts to voters
OF Indiana-they need no comments
or explanation, and ars as eloquent in
their way as anything that Mr. Voor-
hees can say to-day. Indeed, we are
inclined to think that the loyal peo-
pie OF Indiana will take the Hon.
Dan. for what he Is worth-a fraud
of the first water"
