The frantic efforts Of Dan voorhees, to
extricate himself from tho charges brought
against him by Senator Ingalls, have re-
suited in encompassing tho Hoosier Bour-
bon in O web of falsehood as tightly as
unwary fly was ever caught by willy spider
Voorhees, has for many years been known
to be an unscrupulous politician, as abso-
lutcly devoid of principle as any man in
his party, and that is the worst that can be
said of any human being. He took his
back pay after the salary grab act had been
passed and never returned 1t, giving as
his reason that he had never before had SO
large a sum Of money at one time as $1,000,
and that he would be o fool to give 1t up
When Senator Ingalls, charged him with
reasonable speeches during the war and
with having been connected with organize
tions the sole object Of which was to Grip
pie and thwart the operations Of the Gov
ernment in the war for the Union, Voor-
hees replied by epithets which should
cause him to receive q public reprimand
from the Senate. But this agitation Of Voor-
hecs' record will not stop with the Senate
debate.
A letter written in 1864 by General Car
rington was published yesterday and it
proves that Dan voorhees, law Office was
depository for rebel documents, that Voor-
hees himself was on terms Of intimate cor
respondencs with Yallandigham, and that
he was check by jowl with the traitors who
were threatening the Union armies in tho
rear. These facts and many others have
been known for years, but they never
changed the staisai!nR Of Voorhees, in the
Democratic party. He was elected to the
lower house of Congress and to the United
States Senate by Democrats who were
thoroughly acquainted with his record.
Treason, salary grabbing, the denunciation
of Union soldiers, and heaping insults upon
the name of Abraham Lincoln were no
blemish upon his character in the eyes Of
Democrats. On the contrary, they seem to
have bcen regarded as merit. Even after
these facts have all been brought anew to
the public mind Voorhees, will return to In
diana, and the Hoosier copperheads will
turn out to meet him with brass band, and
shower upon him all the honors due to an
honest man, which no one will pretend Mr..
voorhees, is, although he is model Demo

A Plank for the National Republican
Platform.

In very few weeks the National Re-
publican Convention will meet in Chic
ago. Upon the choice and voice OF that
Convention great interest depend. If
wise, the national administration will
pass into the hands of the Republican
party. II unwise, disastrous defeat is
inevitable. The nominees must be men
who will command the full confidence
and the full vote of the country; and it
is almost equally necessary that the
platform should be plain and strong and
honest.
The masses OF voters who count them.
selves Republicans are plain, honest
men, who are too intelligent, too loyal
to truth, too earnest in their purposes to
submit to artifice, cowardice, evasion or
jugglery in the declaration of principles.
They want the Convention to say what
it means in honest English, and to mean
what it says. If the Republican party
stands for principles let them be set
forth in such language as men of con-
science and conviction known how to
use. If it does not stand for principles
no amount of cunning can conceal it's
cowardice for there are principles
which the people believe in and for the
support of which they can be rallied.
One of these is protection from the
curse of the saloon. This is an issue
which men Of courage and conviction
are ready and anxious to take up, and it
is an issue which the National Conven-
ton ought to recognize and promote.
To succeed the party must lead and to
lead it must champion that which lies
close to the heart of the people.
There is no cause that is dearer to the
American heart to-day than that of the
home against the saloon. Ministers are
q unit against the saloon /; churches are
. unit against it; physicians and educa-
tors and reformers are against it; women
and children shudder as they think oft.
Who loves it and champions it? Who
says it is good? Who says it needs pro-
lection? There are those who think
there should be more schools and asylums
and hospitals but who asks for more
saloons? There is not a State in the
Union which has not statutes against it F.;
not city, town or village in the land
where there is not opposition to it. The
sentiment against it is universal, and ex-
presses itself in many ways. 1t believes
in education, restriction and prohibition
as remedies, and in every State these
remedies have been applied in one way
or another.
This sentiment is rapidly increasing,
and it is going more and more to the
polls. Politicians are at the polls-do
they not seeit? 1t is everywhere organ
izing for political action-do the poll.
ticians not feel it ? The political ANNALS
are full of prohibition statistics-do the
politicians not understand them? Look
You, gentlemen, at these returns of votes
for prohibition-votes, we say, which you
