republican press, orasection thereof,
affects high glee over the INGALLs-V DOR
ILEEs incident. The Journal OF yesterday
devoted several columns to republica-
ton, from the Congressional Record, of the
full report OF the debate-if the term may
be applied to the disgraceful exhibition OF
blackguardism by INGALLS,, and Mr.. NooR-
HE'S indignant response thereto. INGALLS,
attack upon the Indiana senator was
cowardly, brutal and infamous. 1t was a
disgrace to the U. 5. senate, an insult to
the country, and a fragrant ofiense not
only against the established rules of par
hamentary intercourse, but against COM
mon decency. 1t did not injure DANIEL
w. VOORHEES,, because he is too well
known to the American people, and too
well grounded in their confidence and re-
speet to be injured by anything that such a
scurry BLACKBOARD as INGALLS, could do or
say. 1t didn't injure INGALLS,, because like
Famine, ''all that can happen has happened
TO him." There has been no public man of
either party, within the memory of the
present generation, who has fallen so low
in the scale of decency and manhood as
this miserable political prostitute, who is
kept in the senate of the United States by
JAY GOULD to do his dirty work 1t didn't
injure the democratic party, because the
conscience and intelligence of the peo-
pie are with it in its battle against
Monopoly, and appreciate the mo-
tives that inspire such characters as
INGALLS, in their attempts to falsify
its record and impesch its patriotism. 1t
has only injured the republican party, be-
cause it advertises it as an organization
with its face toward the past, and exhibits
il in its true character of n sectional party
whose very existence is a menace to the
national prosperity and.a peril to our free
institutions.
1t ought not to be necessary 10 point out
to the intelligent people OF Indiana and Of
the country the motive which has inspired
the campaign of falsehood and Islander
which has been instituted against the
democratic party by INGALLS, and his asso-
ciates. II is perfectly transparent. The
purpose and object Of these sbject serv-
ants of monopoly is to revive sectional
prejudices and animosities, and to excite
anew the passions and hatreds which en-
Uttered the country a quarterof CEN
fury ago, but which have been lying
dormant for years, hoping thereby to di-
vert public attention from the real issues
OF the hour. II is the only chance they
can see to fasten upon the country the
monstrous system of taxation which has
builded up the power OF their masters at
such fearful cost to the people. There
is a rising tide of public sentiment against
this infamous system OF legalized plumber,
which threatens TO wipe it out at stroke,
and in their alarm and desperation the
banditti of protection and their natural
allies, the land grabbers and the corpora
ton robbers, have entered into conspir-
acy against the peace and harmonyof the
country, hoping under cover OF 1t to renew
their deadly grasp upon the resources and
productive industry of the nation. It's a
villainous plot, but it viii not succeed.
The people understand it, and they will
call It's authors and their agents to account
IA due time. The Kansas reptile was very
