SENATOR VOORHEES, AND THE
BANKRUPT JOURNAL.


There is but one illustration of the Jour
Senator Voorhees, found in ancient or mod
ern, sacred or profane history, and that is
Humans antipathy to Mordecai. Mordecai
had planned most hellIsh crime about the
size of that which the radical party consum-
mated in South Carolina, Florida and Louis
lana, and scarcely less bloody provided their
plans had been Interfered with.
This fellow Hannah, whose soul was a
furnace in which every deyilish passion was
kept at white heat, hated the Jews about as
intensely as the Journal hates the demo-
cratic party, and he hated Mordecai as much
more than he hated the Jews as the Journal
hates Senator VOORHEES, more than it hates
the democracy of Indiana, and it hates both
in proportion as it sees them gaming favor
with the people and obtaining control OF
the government The great trouble with
Haman was that Mordecai sat in the
kings gate. And what vexes the lilliputian
soul of the Journal is that Senator Voorhees,
sits in Morton's seat in the United States
senate, and that the people honor him for
his fidelity to their interests and for his elo-
quent advocacy of the welfare of the coun-
try. The radical Humans, of whose GRIM
inal policy the Journal has been from the
first a polecat organ, have been ex-
ceedingly numerous in this coun
try and exceedingly damaging TO
its interests in all regards. The Journal
has been the apologist of every radical thief
and of every radical fraud. In those days
when Grant, with his hands full of brides
and his paunch descended with whisky sat in
the presidential chair surrounded with
carpet baggers, thieves, and desperadoes, out
Hamaning Hannah, the Journal was as
happy as a buzzard with a dogs eye in its
beak, and exulted in the dethrOne-
ment of law and the exercise of
despotic power. 1t was as happy as Haman
when his enlissaries with knives and spears
and bludgeons were preparing for their
bloody work. 1t has never abated its zeal in
the advocacy of fraud. or has its hate Of the
democratic party cooled 1t has nursed the
idea that the democratic party would never
obtain power again, and 1T has erected i'm
aginary scaffolds upon which to hang its
leaders, and chuckled with maniac
glee as it contemplated the coming
havoc. Animated by motives in all
regards in consoDance with those that
prompted Haman to kill the Jews it seeks
the destruction of Senator Voorhees,. We
may possibly owe Hannah, or bis heirs and
assignees, provided his estate was not settled
in a bankrupt court, an apology for init
mating that the miserable fool in his attacks
upon Mordecai despicable as the
Journal in its attacks upon Senator Voorhees,
though we are inclined 10 the opinion that
Haman lied, and we know the Journal does
The Journal hears Senator Voorhees, pom
derous blows as he knocks the breath out Of
the radical party and sends it sprawling. II
hears the enthusiasm that prevails In the
democratic ranks as they tramp on to certain
victory. And the more il hears, the more il
plays the fool role of Haman-nurses rs
hate, masses its old, stale lies and SANDERS
and tries to fan its waning
hopes to a flame. 1t Is no use
Ahasueras had heard of Mordecai's great
deeds, and the uncrowned soYereigns of Indi
ana know Of Senator Voorhees, display oil
devotion to their interests and OF his gallant
defense of their rights They know that in
the United States senate he grappled with
Shylocks, money sharks and radical thieves
and, Samson like, vanquished the entire
gang, the news of which filed ths
country with huzzas of approval
The Journals game is up
The democratic party, like the jews. viii
