strut aud lumbug Of Hon. ID. w. Voor- !,
lees. aud criticising the action Of the last 4
Legislature III returning him to the u i
=. Senate. and his unfaithfulness to the !,
Union soldier? We must say there Is )
rot more true friend to the Union i
soldier living than Mr.. Voorhees, Is; he !,
does all in his power 10 promote their ,
interest and welfare. The honest Re-
publicau presses acknowledge his fidelity !
TO them. No deserving soldier ever
asked him any thing but prompt and
due action Is taken by him; every de-
serving Union soldier receives recogni-
ton at his hands; there has been more
pension cases brought to speedy ad-
iustment under his notice than any other
representative from the State Of Indiana
or elsewhere. and he does il willingly,
too. As to his humbug and strut, you
are the first Democrat to use the Ian
guage against him as far as we know.
AS to questioning the action of the last
Legislature in returning him TO the U.
4. Senate, we certainly think il undemo-
cratic for the chairman Of the old Du-
bois County Central Committee to COM
mence grumbling and complaining at
this late date. There is enough ofgrowl-
Democrats and Mugwumps, and let US.
AS good Democrats, try to harmonizel
the party, rather than giving vent to dis
sentions. We know you was Nc DON
aid man. and that was all right for you tot
he so, for doubtless you was honest in
your notion but my friend, don't you
know il would have been disastrous not

you know Mr.. Mcdonald would not per-
nit bis name to be used in this connec-
ton, whatever Mr.. Mcdonald acted
wise, and BY his wise act made him
friends. There is no better man in the
State Of Indiana, and no one would
be better pleased to see old saddle
bags Joe elevated than we would.
But last winter was not his time. and he

the near future be will make bis mark

we had been q member Of the last Leg

honorable act of our life to have voted

The Republicans are in the habit o

10. Now, my friends, in conclusion
what have said has been in friendl,
and brotherly way, giving our views or
this subject just for " hatthey are worth
nothing more, nothing less, always hav

We chcerfully give space to our lon
esteemed friend and active Democrat
