HAD GALVANIZED A CORPSE.
The only criticism of his (dr. Voorhees)
speech which he had seen in the
press was that he had galvanized
corpse. He diSclaimed any pur-
pose of that kind. He had made
no attack upon him, but upon the Republi-
can party; be regarded the Senator from
Kansas as the most brilliant aud capable
man on his side of the chamber, and as ele-
waited to its highest position. Consequently,
when he listened to his astounding, amazing
and extraordinary speech of March s, he
td passed hm by but vheh he had hn araSnd med
been made the leader because no
member of it in either house had dis
claimed his terrible assaults on the most
brilliant names in American history. He
proceeded to compare Mr.. Ingalls, to pea
cock on barnyard fence, posing Of a sum-
mer morning, looking at his own feathers
as they glanced in the sun, and vocalizing
the whole neighborhood with his harsh, un-
musical, and unmeaning cry, unmindful of
the fact that there were more useful fowls
in the barnyard.
STATE ISLANDERS.
How useless it had been for that Senator
to arraign him. He (Mr. Ingalls) had read
to the Senate the old, stale, putrid, rotten
| ISLANDERS OF years gone by, on which he (Mr.
! Voorhees, had trampled in forty political
campaigns. 1t had sounded to him like the
voices of spawned, broken -winded, hack
neyed political campaign liars of the last
25 years. That he ever uttered one
word against the Union soldiers or
talked of their having collars around their
necks was so base a falsehood, so infamous,
that the black walls of perdition could not
| duplicate it. 1t was too late for the Senator
to plead that he had only spoken of Gen.
| Mcclellan and Gen. Hancock, as allies of
! the .Confederacy in their civil capacity.
He had charged Gen. Mcclellan with en-
deavorins to make the war a failure.
No greater charge could be brought
against Benedict Arnold than the charge
against Gen. Mcclellan. Baser, worse.
more Infamous conduct could not be at
! trlbuted to another on earth than that he
who wore the epauletts and uniform, belted
his sword and took the honors of his
| country, and went TO the field with false
! heart, desiring to make that war failure
And that was with what the Senator from
Kansas charged Gen. Mcclellan, the gentle
man and patriot Referring to tae attacks
upon the people of the South, he said, that
the Senator from Kansas might war on
such people, but the end would be their
triumph and his defeat. [Applause.1
INGALLS, AGAIN REPLIES.
Mr.. Ingalls, responded to the speech of
| Mr.. Voorhees, and said that no one was
| more conscious than he of the duty which
| he owed to his country, and of his unpaid
| obligations of gratitude to those who had
| done what he, unIer other circumstances
NIGH have done. AS the Senator from
Indiana had seen fit to invite comparison
between their records and their relations to
! the great questions of the past twenty-five
| years, he felt it his duty to
put on record, from the information in his
possession, what the Senator'S record and
history was. He should refer only to public
matters in the pablic records and should
venture the affirmation that whatever
might have been his Mr.. Ingals1 relations
| TO the great struggle between the North and
South, the Senator from Indiana had been
from the outset, determined. outspoken,
| positive, aggressive and malignant enemy
of the Union cause.
MR.. VOORHEES, INDIGNANT.
| 81 pronounce that" said Voorhees,, rising
with anger in his eyes, ito be a deliberately
| false accusation. voted for every dollar
that paid the soldier, for every stitch of
clothes he wore, and for every pension bill
| that rewarded his services" Mr.. Ingalls, re-
ferred again to the quotations he had made
! from Mr.. Voorhees, speeches.
| Mr.. Voorhees, asserted that not one word
or syllabla read by the Senator was true, or
/
| saUion had been tralnpled Ider foot. The
Senator's insinuation that he (l1r. Voorhees,
| had ever been a member of political
secret society knights of tie Golden
| Circle was so base and inflmously false
tuat he did not know how 10 choose Ian
guage to denounce it as such.
| This caused q sensation i'll the galleries,
and manifestations of appreciation and APP
| proval, and the Sergea t-at-Arms was di-
| rected TO place under arreS. any person
thereafter violating the rules of the Senate.
SLAVERY AND SECESSION.
Mr., ingalls, referred to a speech made by
| Mr.. Voorhees, in Virginia, Just before the
war, in which he said Mr. Voorhees, advo-
Gated both slavery and secession.
Mr. Voorlees stated that lie had not said
he was in favor of the destruction OF
slavery, but ho had said he was glad it had
taken place, and ne was
Mr.. Ingalls--IEe Senator from Indiana,
at the time when he delivered that speecl,
had two editions prepared, one for cifcula-
| ton in the North and one for circulation in
the South, [Laughter.]
| Mr. Voorhees-That is not true.
Mr.. Ingalls-They are accessible to-day,
| just as much as the statutes of the United
| States
Mr. Voorhees-Bring them in. l say it is
not true. have heard that in a campaign
| before
| Mr. Ingalls, reiterated his charge that Mr..
| Voorhees, had been member Of the Knights
of the Golden Circle and charged that
| Captain Shute had been given appointment
as Brigadier General in the armies of the
Confederacy upon letter Of recommends
tion from Mr.. Voorhees,, aid asked, Ibid
not the soldiers of Indiana threaten TO hang
the Senator with a bell rope on train after
he made that Lincoln dog speech /"
BITTER EPITHETs.
| Mr.. Voorbees-The Senator is a great
liar when he intimates such thing--a great
! liar and a dirty dog. 1t never occurred,
never in the world. That Is all the answer
have, and pass it back to the scoundrel
behind the Senator who is instigating these
| lies. This remark was made in reference
! TO Representative Johnston, of Indiana,
| who was seated at desk directly in the
rear of Mr. Iagallsl
Mr. Ipgails referred 70 q certificate he had
read signed by citizens of Sullivan County,
India a, asserti & that they had heard the
speech from whicl he (Mr. Ingalls, had
quoted and said there is very reputable
! gentleman In the chamber, a citizen Of Indi-
ana, WHO informs me that the signers of
that certificate are entirely reputable in
| habitants Of Indiana, and that he knows
| fifty people who heard Senator Voorhees,.
Tell him | say he is AN infamous scoun-
drel and liar. Tell him l say So" said Mr.
Voorhees,.
