Senator Voorhees.
His Enthusiastic Reception by Old Friends and Constituents oi Owen County. Spencer, May 31.—Nearly a quarter of a century ago there came into Owen County a young man who, like Saul, stood a bead above his brethero. His name was Daniel W. Voorhees. He came amongst us asking our suffrages to be cast for him to represout us in ithe Congress of the United States. Opposed to him was the gallant Tom Nelson. We old fellows often talk of that campaign and firmly believe that we shall never see it equalled. Mr, Voorhees was elected and since that time has been almost continuously in the House or Senate of the United States. Oweu county at that first race took a 1 king to the young aspirant and gave him a rousing vote. Since that we have always stood by him as he has by us. His voice has always been tor the people. Daring the darkest hours oi the Revolutionery War, when the treasury of the colonies, was empty, the army ob patriots nearly naked and almo t starving, the General in command took some beef cattle imm an old Tory with which to feed his starving troops. Alter the war was over, peaee declared, liberty won, aud while all the patriotic people of the liberated States were giving thanks to God for his mercies, while the beautious young Columbia from whose lovely limbs the shackles of British oppression had just been stricken off, was taming her eyes to heaven to return her thanks to the giv. or oi all good, the voice of the old Tory was heard resounding through the land demanding payment for bis confiscated beef. An advocate for the people arose and so presented the case that the old Tory barely escaped with his life. So
•mid the hardships of the people, resulting from the late War, the bondholders not satisfied with the contract making thoir principal and interest payable in currency, used every effort to corrupt the National Legislature, and their voices filled the country from sea to sea with their miserly cries for gold! g .Id!! gold!!! Then arose in his i > the Senate of the Union an advocate for the rights of the people —Daniel WVoorhees —who, by his matchless eloquence, did more to stay the hands of the robbers than any one else. This is • only one of the many things done by « Onv L.u” which has endeared him to us. The case of the State vs. Beatty for murder having closed yesterday Mr. Voorhees went to spend the evening with his friend, Judg® Franklin. The Judge gave out a general invitation to the citizens ofthe town and vicinity to come and spend the evening with them a' the house. His spacious mansion war on wded to its utmost capacity, and a large, overflow into the beautiful grounds around it. About 9, p m. the working people of the town went to the Judge’s residence cn masse and called Mr. Voorhees out for a speech. Ho responded in a social and strictly non-partisan speech of about thirty minutes in his happtest vein to the hundreds of people ot all parties who surrounded him. Alter tae speaking the people passed through the house each one giving Mr. Voorhees a hearty shake ofthe hand. Such a reception is an honor to any man. Any pubhc man can come here and gather rround him the wealthy class, but the laboring people—those who do the world’s work say Dan is our man; he works for us t he speaks for us, and stands up for our rights on all occasions. Truly for such a reputation a man can afford to work a lifetime. ‘Attention! Ladies of Jasper county’.* Before purenasing your summer bonnets call ou Mrs. E. P HO naD -
