was delivered in the United States Sem
ate. Tuesday. 1t il reported As having
been a powerful effort and quito ex-
haustive of the argument on that side
Of the question.
As might have been expected from
the Tall sycamore Of the Wabash"
ho took the ground that violations OF
public faith were lot in those in favor
of the reconciliation of silver, but
those who. in the interest o! bondhold-
ers. legislate to pay bonds in coin. al
though when issued they were express
sly understood to be payable In green
backs. lie effectively quoted firm the
speeches aud letters of Senators Nor
ten, Thad. Stephens and ex-senator
john Sherman himself, in which this
yitY was distinctly aud alphabetically
approved by them. He argued that 1t
is Of the highest Importance that the
Government should be faithful to pied
yes made to its own citizens.
He denounced the National Bank
system aul, speaking for the Western
people. he demanded its abolition, and
with affecting eloquence, depicted the
suffcrings of the poet snI the distress
of the business ~classes, which he attri-
buted mainly. il not wholly TO the I'M
wise and unjust financial legislation Of
the past six years; AMI in conclusion
Nj. Voorhees, INDUCED in what may be
considered n very distinct threat Of
reputation, and he warned boudhold-
ers and gold seeking creditors not to
so too far or the fires of liberty might
burst forth again as they did huud-
red years ago.
He implored heaven to avert the
threatened dangers, bu: said ho. III

result will only add Que more instance
to the catalogue Of human crime and
folly, where a~yarice, like ambition.
overleaps itself and in its unholy at
tempt to rob Others Of their possessions
lOoos its owu."
His speech was several times inter-
rupted by applause, and at its corclu-
sion Mr.. Voorhees, was surrounded and
warmly complimentcd by numerous
Senators from all parts Of the cham
Der, including several who are diamet-
rieally opposed to his opinions, but
who could not restrain their enthu>ias.
