VOORHEES-
The Hon. D. W. Voorhees* In hi$ Speech last night, said that "a strange spectacle which is presenting itself in the campaign is tire fact that our Republican friends in their speeches start out by boasting of their achievements, The first thing a Republican* speaker'does this year so far as I have noticed is to boast of these achievement and to glorify that party in the history of this country, and stating what great hold it has upon the popular mind and popular heart. Let us look at that just a moment. But a few short years ago the Republican party swayed this country with omnipotent power from Maine to Texas it controlled States, it elected Governors, and it elected Legislators. To-day more than half the States lfaverepnd|Ated the party, and to-day, instead of litving nearly every State in this Union in their control, they have been whipped from more than half, and the South and the North have alike reqjlpudiatcd it."
Now, let us look back over the past twenty years and see just what truth thej*e. is in Mr. Voorhees' statement. There is not one man or woman with an ordinary intellect but who knows that for the past twenty years our national affairs have been in the ascendency. It is true that the Republicans elected a majorityof Congressmen from several Southern States soon after the' war closed, but they have never been able to do so since that time, because the Democratic parly had bulldozed and driven two-thirds of the Republican voters from those and this is the way the "Republican party has been whipped from more than half of the South." Republicans were driven from their homes at the muzzle of .shot-guns in the hands of ex-rebofcioldiers because they were Republicans, Again, Mr. Voorhees says that "'Mr. Porter comes before the people of Indiana and says,that "our financial system has restored pros perity." Who was in power when the panic of 1873 commenced? The Republican party had both branches of Congress and men and women were crying for employment."
Yes, this is the same old story that Mr. Voorhees has told his Democratic brethren for the past six years. Of course Mr. Vo'orhees knows that the people of Terre Haute know the cause of the panic of 1878 every man, woman and child knows that the panic of 1873 was caused by the mad spirit of speculation, and that no political power on earth could have prevented it. And the idea of Mr. Voorhees attributing the panic of 1878 to the Republican party is too rediculous to talk about. "It was Republican legislation that caused this desolation'* says Mr. Voorhees.
Well, Mr. Voorhees should^presume that his neighbors and friends .are possessed with at least a thimble full of brains. Mr. Voorhees then parades before the people what great things the Democratic party will do for this country when they get into power. Now, let us see what they have done in the past.
They .have for the past forty years ad-
if
vocated the doctrine that the United States is a league of separate sovereign ties.
They have til way 3 been advocates of nullification. They have always been in sympathy with the South. They say in their platform: "The Democrats of the United State's, in convention assembled, declare: First, We pledge ourselves anew (o the constitutional doctrines and traditions of the Democratic party, as illustrated by the teachings and examples of along line of Democratic statesmen and patriots embodied in the platform of the last National convention of the party.*'
This being the position of the Democratic party to day, we can make up our minds to the United States go into bankruptoGp Hancock is elected President. N«, there is no necessity for emimeiOTRg the different positions of the Demoermic party for the past twenty years,—they are known to everyone. Those principles of which they speak in their platform are the principles of the men who wanted to use an,army to force slavery into Ktuisas. They are the prinei pie! of the men who fired upon Fort Sumpter who .attempted secession who plundered the nation of its arms who inaugurated the rebellion who drove American tommewse from tin? seas who mourned over rebel defeats who opposed
Mr. Voorhees says: "Step by step this odious and plundering party has lo*t the confidence of the country, and has been driven from its high places/*

Who Will Vote for HajicocM
The Albany Eveninq Journal answers this question very pointedly when it says: "Any man who believes the Union is safer in the hands of the party who furnished all the traitors that tinea to destroy it than in those of the party which was its sure defense from the beginning to the end of the war will vote for Hancock!.
Any man who believes that the finances of the country are safer h* the hands of the party who has co-operated with inflationists, Greenbackites, "absolute money" gentry and all other financial quacks rather than in those of the party which has always been the steady advocate of honest money and the unflinching defender of the Nation's credit will vote for Hancock.
Any man who believes that the majority should not be allowed to prevail, but that their will, clearly expressed at the ballot-box, ia to be Garcelonized whenever opportunity offers, will vote for Hancock.
Any mail who approves of the revo-t lutibnary attempt of the late Democratic Congress to starve the Government to death will vote for Hancock.
Any man who believes that a candidate who is no more competent to, discharge the duties of the Presidency than Cleopatra's Needle is competent to do tine sewing is a iiiSer person to elect to that great olilee U.au one whose talents, experience, fcnu.»!• and bent of mind unite thoroughly to qualify him for tho position will vote for Hancock. .. Jf
Any man who wants to have such*'1 taskmasters as the Solid South and Tammany Hall set over the country* and finds pleasure in tlie thought of a political readjustment which would transform the North into a Hewer of wood and drawer of water, will vote for Hancock.
Any man who believe#in the doctrine of State-rights, as now reasserted with all the old emphasis by the Democratic party, a doctrine ilrom whose loins sprang secession and the consequent bloody and costly war, will vote for Hancock.
Any man who believes that Reform hi the abstract is a sweet boon, but thinks so illy of Reforal in the concrete as to enjerttf he spectacle of a Presidential

fgr After enumerating the principal points of Hancock's litter of acceptance the Cincinnati says: "He remarks that 'ihe bayonet is not a fit instrument for collecting the votes of freemen.'

Ey
Hancock's Letter ofAcceptaace.
The letter of General Hancock ac ceptmg the Democratic nomination for the Presidency is published. The brevity would be commendable were there not a painful consciousness on the part both of the reader and the writer that the resort to glittering generalities is caused by General Hancock's almost total want of acquaintance with the political questions now at issue before the country.
The ostentations declaration that the amendments to the Constitution are parts of that instrument, and as such are inviolable, the reader will understand, has been forced as a necessity npon General Hancok by the recent ^publication of his letter to Mr. Glover, |Ln which he cordially approved the Detnoeratic platform of 1868, in which those amendments and tike whole series of Reconstruction acts were declared to be unconstitutional and void. The publicar cation of that letter has compelled the General to make this declaration that the three amendments are part of the supreme law of the land. His previous affirmance of the unconstitutionality of the Reconstruction acts he permits to stand. To do otherwise would be to stamp his own record at New Orleans with the hand of resistance and violation of the law of the land.
General Hancock avoids, ignores, the great question at issue between the Republican and Democratic parties, as to the Nationality of the United States. He carefully refuses to recognize such Nationality, Or to even admit that if elected he will, be the Executive of a National Government. His theory that the Government of the United States is made up in part by the local Governments of the States is an attempt to give the doctrine of State-supremacy, as opposed to National sovereignty, a new application. The Governments of the States have no central or directing authoritv, in any form, as part of the
owers by the State Governments and the National Government clash or come in conflict the State authority, being of necessity the inferior, must, from alike necessity, be subordinate, and must be silent. Where General Hancock got his idea that the State Governments are part of the Government of the United States we do not know but the use of such language looks like an attempt to assert the pernicious doctrine of State-supremacy, and that the Union exists by the permission of the States, and that it is the creature of the States. The Union Is a National Union it has a National Government, and General Hancock cannot by any form of words obscure that fact, nor divert the attention of the country from the other fact that the Democratic party deny the Nationality of the Union and the supremo National character of the Government. The Nationality is the main pillar in the edifice of ^nericf\n independence,
(and
on the
preservation of tnat Nationality experience has shown depends the National safety, not only against foreign foes, but also against domestic insurrection, rebellion and the cost and horrors of civil war.
General Hancock will find that he cannot, though at the head of the solid Confederate Stages, safely ignore the Nationality of the Union in'the presence of the American people.
His reference to the reformation of the civil-servico is, in plain English, a declaration that, if all the elective offices be filled with Democrats, those elected will find Democrats to fill all the appointive places.
The reference to "fraud, violence and incompetency is a little obscure. Whether it has reference to the wholesale election frauds recently exposed in New York City, or to the brutal violence which for several years' has denied to large bodies of citizens the right and
Srational
rivilege of voting at either State or elections, will doubtless be explained hereafter. As he writes this letter with a full knowledge that in five large and populous States a large portion of the people—in somo States a large majority—dare not go to the polls to vote for fear of violence, and that in the few places where they do vote their votes are not counted or* returned, the country, while agreeing with General Hancock, that the bayonet is not a becoming instrument for collecting votes, will insist that the duty of the Na'naal Government is to secure, at whatever cost and with whatever instruments may be necessary, to every citizen in the broad land the right and the opportunity to vote, and to have his vote fairly counted and returned at eveiy election for National officers.
His final declaration that, if elected* he will perform his duty to the best ol his ability, according to his own convictions of law ana the Coe-~i tut ion, will, of course, be accepted by his Southern followers as a graad saving clause. In New Orleans he violated and disregarded the law because his convictions were opposed to the law, and eventually, wheft compelled to obey the law against his own convictions, he asked to be relieved from the duty of executing the law.
The letter of General Hancock is not candid it is evasive and obsenre. Under the pretense of being an outspoken and i'rank declaration oi prinei pies, no principles are avowed, but between the lines may be discovered the odor if not the form of the most malignant of all the devices of disunion, strife and civil war, the detpon of State supremacy.— Oktoago Tribune. »,
