Vice President Colfax arrived in the city in a special car on the mail train from Evansville. yesterday afternoon, and was received at the depot by the Committee of Reception, an artillery salute and the sweet strains of Professor Toute's IJand. The Committed, with the Band, escorted the distinguished guest to the Terre Haute House, after which Mr. Colfax occupied an hour or two in calling upon his friends.

Soon after dark a salute from Capt. O'Mara's gun, and some lively airs from the Band, gave notice that the time for assembling at the Wigwam had£ariived but such notice was hardly necessary to insure a.crowd, for the people turned out en masse, filling every inch of room in the great edifice, Toverllowing upon the adjacent grounds and street, and retiring to their homes by hundreds, by reason of the impossibility of getting within hearing of the speaker's voice. It was the largest night meeting ever seen in this city, until the rain, which commenced to fall before eight o'clock, compelled a thousand or more who could not crowd under the protection of the roof, to seek shelter elsewhere. Hundreds went for umbrellas and returned. Nor was the audience le remarkable in character than in numbers, being composed largely of our best citizens, of both ^parties and both sexes.

L. A. Burnett, Esq., Chairman of the Republican Executive Committee, introduced the Vice President, who was received with hearty applause, which was frequently repeated during his elegant and powerful address.

Mr. Colfax's speech was a splendid vindication of the administration and Congress from the attacks made upon them by their enemies, and he proved, by figures as well as argument, that they both deserve the confidence of the American people, that the confidence reposed by the majority of the people in 1868, in tho election of a Republican President and a Republican Congress, has not been misplaced.

The pledges to the nation made by the Republicans in that contest, embodied in the platform, and the letters of acceptance of their nominees, the speaker sum med up as follows: UJl. Equal.civil and 'political rights, to all under our national authority, whether native born or naturalized, and the protection of the humblest and weakest as faithfully as the richest and most powerful. 2. The condemnation of all forms and plans of direct or indirect repudiation as a national crime and the maintenance untarnished, in the utmost good faith, of national honor, and national credit, as regards our debt, the cost of our national existence. 3. Taxation to be equalized and reduced as rapidly as the national faith will permit. 4. The debt, having been contracted for the preservation of the Union for all time to come, i-hould be extended over a fair period for redemption, reducing the rate interest thereon as soon as it can be honestly done. 5. The government to be administered according to the strictest economy, and "the corruptions so shamefull nursed and fostered by Andrew Johnson," to be radically reformed.

G. The European doctrine of "once a subject always a subject" to be resisted at every hazard by the Uuited States, as at war with our national honor and independence. 7. The bounties and pensions provided by law for the soldiers and sailors who imperiled their lives for their country, and for the widows and orphans of the gallant dead, to be ever considered as sacred obligations.

S. Foreign emigration, adding so largely to the wealth, development, resources, and increase of poweV of this republic, to be fostered by a potcy which shall be just, as well as liberal. !). Sympathy with all oppressed peoples throughout the world struggling for their rights. 10. Amnesty to all, however hostile in the past, "who frankly and honestly cooperate in restoring concord to the South on the basis of impartial justice and equal rights." 11. The great principle* of the Declaration of Independence, as the foundation democratic government, to be living reality on every inch of

of trill mode a American soii. 12. "Let us have peace," because, in the language of General Grant, "peace, and universal prosperity, its sequence, with economy of administration, will lighten the burden of taxation, while it constantly reduces the national debt."

These said Mr. Colfax, were the pled gas on which the support and confidence of the nation were asked. They were written on all our banners. Thev were proclaimed by all our speakers. They were elaborated by all our presses, and it was a joyous duty for him to show that they have been redeemed, more faithfully and literally than any pledges ever before made by any party in any canvass

He would group together, in one paragraph, a few brief allusions to several of the above points, as he desired to speak with more fulInessTon others. And he need, therefore, only say that the naturalization treaties with foreign nations, by the cordial vete of every Republican Senator of a largely Republican Senate, (as well as their opponents) has settled forever and for the first time in our history absolutely settled it, that every foreigner naturalized in our courts is to be regarded as an American citizen, abroad as well as at home, ar.d to be protected by that citizenship while law abiding, even in the land of his birth, in war or in peace—that our pension obligations have been than fulfilled, the mode of

paying

them to the pensioner improved by more lrc-quent payments than ever known in the history of our pension laws, by payments to them direct and at their homes, as never before, the Treasury bearing all the expense: and by humane provisions for artificial limbs for crippled soldiers and sailors every five years, or the money coiumuta'ion therefor, unknown as this has been in all previous administrations —and that the thousands of all parties, who have been, by a two-third-1 vote of a two-thirds Republican Congress, relieved from political disability on the basis above slated, is a sufficient voucher of Congressional willingness to abolish these disabilities as rapidly "as the spirit of disloyally dies out." -j DEMOCRATIC

KXTRAVAOANCKVS. REP LICAN ECONOMY.

We are told by our political opponents that the Democratic party must be restored to power in order to have retrenchment and reform in every bianch of the government, and to have justice and protection for all citizens. We have two illustrations of the results of Democratic rule, and its eflects in achieving these desirable ends. Mr. Buchanan's administration, the last Democratic administration in our history, is one, and New York City with its immense Democratic majority, its undisguised corruptions, its flagrant expenditure, its oppressive and increasing taxation, its numberless and unpunished murders and outrages, is the other illustration. In these two, behold the entertainment to which our opponents invite ua

In the last Democratic administration, we have their model of national rule.Commencing with $17,000,000 in the Treasury,and, by the exhibit of July, 1857, a debt, not yet due, of but $29,000,000, yet by the next fiscal year this cash on hand had been spent and the debt on July 1, 185S, had increased to $44,000,000 Another year passes by, and, on July 1, 1859, the debt (and all this increase was in time of peace), had swollen to $58,' 000,000. Another year increased it to $05,000,000, and when our last Democratic President surrendered the White House to his successor, he gave with it a debt of nearly $70,000,000 as a legacy, and a shattered credit that had been paying at the rate of 12 per cent, interest per year for small loans to pay current expenses. The expenditures, too, of that administration, at gold rates, and before the enhancement of prices of supplies, labor, etc., caused by the war, were, during its four years, $82,000,000, $S3,000,000, $77,000,000 and $85,000,000 respectively, an average of $82,000,000 per year. Deducting $14,000,000 as the av erage appropriation then for postal service (from $3,500,000 to $6,000,000 of which were paid out of the Treasury, and the rest paid by postages,) $2,750,000 per year as the average of interest on the public debt it created, and $1,000,000 yearly for pensions and expenses of Pension Office and it leaves an average of over $64,000,000 in gold for the ordinary current expenses of administering a government for a population averaging during his term about 29,000,000, or about two dollars and a quarter apiece in gold.

Supreme Court business, $30,000 for the ship canal survey at Tahuantnpec, $515,000 for a legacy from the last administration "of the Corlies claim, $100,000 expenses of the Secretary of the Treasury defending suits relative tp seizures of abandoned property, cotton, &c., a million and a quarter for strengthening our fortification^ at the most important points, the increase in Indian appropriations frotn two or three millions to six from the popstantly increasing pressure of the settlements, and the absolute necessity of feeding the destitute, whose hunting grounds have been destroyed by railroads or emigraiion, and the many millions of increase in our army expenses, from the two thousand miles of frontier and greater population it has to protect and the increase in the pay of the soldier since 1S64 to $16 per month, with proportionate increase in pay of officers, due to the increased cost of living. I am glad, however, to state that the reduction in the number of officers and soldiers now going on by law will reduce our army expenses some four millions alter this year.

I have not made these latter deductions in the contrast I have drawn of the expenses of the two administrations, because I wished to include in that only the indisputable but adding these, as could justly be done, to the others, it would reduce the national expenses, properly chargeable to the present administration, to $1 75 each in paper, or about $1 50 in gold, for our forty millions of people, as compared with the $2 25 each in gold, in far cheaper times of the last administration the Democratic party favored this nation with. I doubt whether the people will rush to their arms this iall, or embrace their candidates, or seek to moor their ship of State in such a haven of Democratic reform!

I have not been able to obtain the aggregate amount of expenditures of the Democracy-ruled city of New York for a later fiscal year than 1867. But, in that year, the cost of governing the one mil lion of people in that city, including pay of officers, police, interest on debt, and State taxes, but without any army or navy, or pension list, or Indians (except the Tammany chiefs) to provide for, was $23,220,295, not quite twenty-four millions of dollars. I trust, if these chiefs are ever to obtain power, they will not expect to pay out, for governing forty millions of people, at the same proportion it costs them to govern one million in New York City, which would aggregate nine hundred and sixty millions per year. But, without charging that they would, I submit that before they can expect the people to credit their pledges of retrenchment and reform, they should give us some specimens of its working in that overwhelming Democratic city of theirs.

COMPARATIVE SUMMARY.

When Mr. Dawes left Washington last March to speak in New Hampshire, President Grant said to him, "Tell the people of New Hampshire that, during my administration, there shall be no ascending scale of public expenditures, but wherever and whenever the closest scrutiny shall disclose the possibility of cutting off a dollar it shall be done." Our President, though maligned by those opposed to you, and those who did not love him through the war, and do not love him yet, when elevated by a great people to the chief magistracy of the nation, has redeemed that pledge to the letter. Let the following figures of government ex penses show how it has been done. For the fiscal year ending June 3o, 1868, (President Johnson's last full year,) $377,000,000. For the year ending June 30, 1SG9, (eight months Johnson and four

Let us now look at the appropriations for the service of the present fiscal year, exclusive of the interest on the nationat debt, made by a Republican Congress for a Republican administration, and a population of over 40,000,000.

For the present census $1,200,000 was appropriated by acts of April 20, and July 15, 1S70. In Mr. Buchanan's last year $1,000,000 was appropriated for this purpose, which helped to swell that year's aggregate to $85,000,000.

since the Oregon treaty, and $57,000 to the foreign government of Peru in the Montauban case, are not items of "current, ordinary, annual expenses," nor was General Grant responsible for either of I Frankly and fully I have reviewed the them. The three millions appropriated results of this administration, and replied for Post Offices in New York and Boston, without a word of bitterness to the char and the mint building at San Francisco, ges of its enemies.

peaker then passed to an eloquent

review of the Democratic and Republican records, the substance of which has already appeared in our columns, and closed hi* remarks with a glance at THE FUTURE OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY'.

The future history of the Republican

party can be judged by its past and its pledges and its acts show what that future will be: 1. It will surely and resolutely m«intain its work of enfranchisement, of reconstruction, of making all citizens equal under the protection of our supreme law against all hostile attempts—so that, by tlie final settlement of these questions, so happily ended and so faithfully to be maintained, the nation shall have stability and peace, and this once exciting issue be regarded as decided for all time. 2. The work of retrenchment of our national expenses—of the abolition of all needless offices—of the elevation and improvement of the civil service—and of the saving of every possible amount io the people—will go on as faithfully as during the past 18 months. 3. The pledge of the last National Republican platform that "taxation shall be equalized and reduced as rapidly as the national faith will permit," will be faithfully carried out, as already inaugurated by the undivided Republican vole of the lecent Congress and, as ihe national obligations diminish, the burdens of taxation increased as they were during the war expressly to meet these obligations, will be justly reduced. 4. The debt will be funded at a lower rate of interest, and "having been contracted for the preservation of the Union for all time to come, will be extended over a fair period for redemption," lessening largely, without doubt, the present monthly amount of its reduction so that the same generation shall not be required to fight the battles of the Union, and also to pay oft' the entire cost of its preservation, by bearing heavy and oppressive burdens needlessly. 5. The revival of our American commerce, the development of our vast resources, the completion of the work of amnesty to the fullest limits of the liberal proffer of the National Republican platform, arc all subjects worthy of, and that will doubtless receive the fullest consideration and the wisest legislation.

Thus acting,—faithful to the country and all its interests, faithful to the Union and its integrity, faithful to the people whose confidence and- support has sustained it in all its trials, faithful to its brilliant record for the right, and faithful to every pledgeon which it obtained power,—a Republican Administration and Republican Congress will go forward in the work entrusted to them, and the nation, under their legislation will go on, prospering and continuing to prosper.

Township Convention.

The delegates appointed on Wednesday evening to select candidates for the several township offices, met at the Wigwam yesterday, and organized by selecting Col. W. K. Edwards as President, and Capt. J. B. Ilager as Secretary.

On motion it was ordered that the del egates vote by wards and that the noinin ations be in the following order: Trustee, Assessor, Magistrates, Constables.

For Trustee, Geo. W. Naylor, S. E Gibbs, Jas. F. Murphy and Henry Wool en were nominated. The ballot resulted as follows: fry

1st Ward 5 1 2d Ward 5 3d Ward 6 4th Ward 5 5th Ward 1 2 Township, outside 4 ft

Total 20 9 Geo. W. Naylor was declared the noin inec for Trustee.

For Assessor Jackson Stepp was nom inated by acclamation. For Magistrates, L. B. Denehie, Zenas Smith, Andrew NefFand Charles Witlen berg were nominated by acclamation.

For Constables, William Nichols Luther Gilmore, B. F. Reagan and Peter Kauflman were nominated.

The selection of Road Supervisors was left to the delegation from outside the city and the Township Trustee.

DUNN AND VOOUIIEES AT SULLIVAN.— We are credibly informed that the joint discussion between Dunn and Voorhees at Sullivan on Wednesday last, was a bril liant affair—perhaps the most exciting scene ever witnessed in that county. Near four thousand people were present, and the best order ever known in the county at a similar meeting prevailed.

Mr. Dunn made the opening speech he spoke one hour and a half in his usual intelligent style, wi.hout any reference to Voorhees' war record. Voorhees follow ed, claming some credit for what he had done for the soldiers—he had Dr. Read appointed Postmaster of Terre Ilaute— Gen. Alexander appointed Collector, and some other minor appointments through out the district, which he claimed as his own work. Indeed, this was the only thing he had done for his constituent: according to his own statement.

Voorhees at the close of his first speech referred to Mr. Dunn's war record,—his visit to Europe, and in this we are free to say that Mr. Voorhees did not gain much favor.

Mr. Dunn, in his last half hoiu's reply, was very severe on Mr. Voorheos. His ventilation of Voorhees' war record was the bitterest rebuke ever given to mortal man in old Sullivan, and indeed is pronounced by many of the citizens, as the most daring step ever taken in that county. Mr. Dunn referred to the speech delivered by Voorhees at Sullivan during the war in which he said that "all the soldiers should have a collar around their necks inscribed, 'A. Lincoln's dog.' And to back what he said he held up a copy of the Sullivan County Union. which was an affidavit sworn to by tweh-ty-five citizens of Sullivan county—three of whom were Democrats—proving that he made the statement referred to. At this point a few Democrats shouted, "It is a lie!" but more than two hundred cried out in loud and distinct voice*, "It is true, I heard him say it."

It seemed for a moment that a row would be the result, but the excitement soon subsided, and all went quietly on. Dunn also said that if those statements were not facts, and Mr. Voorhees was the soldiers' friend, as he claimed, let him refute them and show that he ever made a speech in favor of the soldier or the government during that bloody con test. He defied him to do so, and shook the affidavits of Sullivan county under his nose and dared him to go back on them. This was an exciting scene, but all credit is due the Democracy in holding their temper and listening patiently to the scathing rebuke of the lion in his own den. Voorhees could not do otherwise than to deny that he made such a statement, and called upon his God to witness the truth of his denial.

This closed the most exciting discussion ever had in Sullivan, and yet not a quarrel or a fight occurred during the entire day. The Republicans were full of life and enthusiasm, more so than usual, while the Democrats seemed grum, and yet were forced to say that Dunn was the sharpest young man ever they heard.

Do not count your chickens, in old Sullivan, until they are hatched, is our closing ad vice.
