This Van Voorhies will be recollected as for
merly being one OF the prominent chiyalry DEM
ocratic speakers of this State. He is one of
those who a certain class of so-called Democrats
delight to fall down and worship. The more
insult and obloquy the Vans heap upon them,
the more abject their humiliation. We should
not be surprised to learn that Immediately after
the speech above mentioned some of these
Northern Copperheads washed Vans feet, after
placing them on their necks in token of abject
submission to him. q 1t is n dirty bird that

and which such sheets the Democratic Press
and Grass Valley National have promulgated

the slanderers, is fit only to be a save.-Bee.

to have run out of ideas. He scratched his

the hair was so thick he couldn't make an i'm
