SENATOR INGALLS, yesterday paid
his respects to Senator VoOrhes.
We quote below extracts from the
speech:
After comparing VOOrhes with
Fitz John Porter, and that both had
been friendly to the south and both
had afterwards posed as champions
OF northern soldiers, Senator Ingalls,
recOunted the military history OF
Mcclellan and declared that history
had pronounced its verdict upon him
from Indiana would not be able TO
place him in the category with Ma
pOleOn, Hannibal and Caesar.
Senator Ingalls, then eulOgized
HancOek's military career and said
that he had been well called, Han
cock, the superb. But after the war
closed he, like Mcclellan, had be-
come tainted with the fatal virus OF
an ambition for the presidential
nomination. But not understanding
his magnificent and unapprOachable
career, the American people recOg-
nized his hostility TO the reeOnstruc-
tiOn measure, and in the presiden-
tial election Of 1870 he carried but
three northern statCs-C CalifOrnia,
Nevada aud New Jersey-and the
first two Of them had been stolen by
the forgery and fraud OF the MOrey
letter issued by democratic pOliti-
clans. He had also received l3S
electoral votes Of the solid south,
which had been promised him in his
speech at Cincinnati by the senator
from South Carolina, Hampton.
] supposed from the enthusiasm
displayed In favor OF the military
achievements Of Mcclellan aud Han
cock, that we should, upon inspec-
tiOn, at least, find that the leaders Of
the democratic party who had been
50 eulOgized, were in sympathy with
the union cause, and in sympathy
with the efforts that were making TO
overthrow the cOnfedeTacy. Yet,
at the very time, and during the
very year when Mcclellan was fight
ing the battle Of Antietam, the sena-
tor from Indiana, without excepting
Mcclellan, aud without excepting
HancOck.speaking At Sullivan, Ind,
on the 9Th Of August, lS62, said i'm re-
should 90 TO the nearest blacksmith
shop aud have irOu collars made and
placed Ground their necks, inscribed
thereon in large letters, "My Dog,
a. Lincoln" aud at the same time
he referred TO union soldiers as Lin
cOln dogs and hirelings, without ex-
cepting Mcclellan or Hancock.

Mr.. Cleveland had apparently a
warranty deed for the seat which he
occupied, and yet, compared with
the title which Mr.. Hayes had To his
seat, he was in possession Of stolen
goods, and the receiver WAS a. bad

and in fair cOncience he had never
been elected at all. He had been
counted into office by a partnership
between Dick Turpin and Uriah
Heep, fOOtpads and sneak thieves,
CartOuche and Pecksnin, and it was
some consolation To know that in
that partnership these apostles and
Tenegades had lost their share of the
swag. daughter and applause.
