Ii. W. Voorliicx on the Imlcmnity Kill. Ve are una!le to publish in full the great sp-ech of Dsn, V. Voorhies of this State on the Indemnity Bill on account of length. We make some extracts and advise our ieauers to procure the wfiole speech if possible. It is one of the greatest ever delivered in the halls of Conjir ,'ss:

Sir the history of the progress oflib?rtj next to the history of the Christian religion, is the most sublime and instructive lasson taught in the annals of the world. Its fortut e, ind ed, have been various, but no season of adversity has ever sufficed to quench the vestal fires which burn on its altars. And in all the terrible struo-lca DO tfith which it jarred the nations and libererated the people, its sole antagonist ha3 been the principle that to no one man bslong's the right to govern many. Kings, and the courtiers of kings, who talk of a divine right to the jiossession and exercise of power, have been the enemies whLdi liberty has had to encounter. Every conte;i it ever wagod has been to put restraint and control on the will, the prt tensions, the authority of one man. Every battle fought beneath its bauner, in all the four quarters of the earth, lias been fought to resist and repel the arrogant and unlawful claims i.f power made by one man. Every law which was ever enacted in its interest, from the laws of God on Mount Sinai to the present hour, ha.s been enacted to protect the masses from the ravaging and and oppressive hand of on) man. This has forever been the issue, and it is the is-5-ue now. When the lights of liberty faded away in the iky of Souilieru Europe, ar.d Grecian and Hornau glory went down in the glwom and night of despotism, ages of darkness followed, over whose patalyzed faculties lha spirit of absolutism held undisputed supremacy Hut liberty had made one grand epoch. It had built a monument of law, literature, science, and art, which still .-tands, towt r'ng up in the back giound of history l.kc 9oue awful pyramid against the distant sky. The statesman, the philosojdier, the poet, the artist, and the historian, ,Vl Lend reverently before the grand achievements of that ag of liberty. Then came, however th;it mysterious tomb of a thousand years, in which the principles of 2. c government s ept. But it was net the sleep of death. Liberty found its res une Vo.i at the hands of that great race from whose loins the American cltic.nfi have dfe8c u lei. Itaw Ae with returning cotK-ei- ustu s-? on the: soil of our ancestors, at the touch .f of E Iwatd the confessor and Alfred the Law maker. But it awke simply to renew tho struggles of the past with it? ano'.enl foe. Oae man in In the rob s of oiuVe, luting power with a Selfish love, ai.J ex.-n-isiiig it in disregard of the law, met the genius of .ihtral ir;slitutijn.s at every .st. p on this si . e of the dark ages, a we'll as in the days of Tiberius and Philip of Mac -don. The struggle has never cc ased. The pop!e gra.ped at power; for to them th possession of power is freedom C .-owned he.i Is el limedjit as their right; for to them it was the gra'iGcation of a passion more consuming than al! olheri that ever corroded the human heart the avarice of dominion the Iu?t for persotal supremacy T,1? safet ()f the , , Wlit.ei, . . .. . . . laws juuiciaiiy inicrpreieu, anu tuts tney eoou learned. King sought to govern by proclamations which suspended or disregarded the law. Hence arose those glorious efforts to fix the boundaries between the ruler and the boundaries between the ruler and the citizen to put restraint on the one, and give security to the other, which constitute the chief glory of England and the juit the pride of the Englishmen Why did the British Barons meet at Ilunnyniedd? Why is the nanaj of that sp ot immortal? What causes produced that wonderful nseemblegc in the month of June, and in the year L2I5? Why is it that we talk to-day ofthat event trauspiring more than six hundred yiars ago wkh the familiarity which belongs to an event of yesterday? Sir the old contending principles were there brought face to face, and a great landmark was erected in behalf of personal liberty and against the abuse of power, as high as th heavens, and as enduring as the earth 'Hie people confront ed King John, who had been arresting citizens without charge, and punuhirg them without trial, and made him record an oath before angels ami men that ho wouid forever abandon the practice of such outrages. This was Magna Charta, These were the causes which produced it. It became a perpetual law, and every English monarch, from John to Victoria, has sworn in express form of words as a part of the , c rotation oath to support it. I have seen the upright and censcientoua lawjer seized by the loathsome instruments of oppression, forbidden to console a sick wife, the mother of his children, with a single word at parting, and conveyed by furtive and rapid movements to a distant and arbitrary military tribunal, because he

PLYMOUTH, INDIANA, THURSDAY,

had dared, as became a freeman, to de clare what he conceived the law to b?. I have seen men who had been trusted and honoted in public life by thoe who had known them most intimately in every relation, arrested in my own State for no otl'enses known to s-ny law, and without warrant without commitniBnt, made to 'eat bread which captives' tears have wat'ered" in every age of despotism. In tha month of October last I met three friends, distinguished citizens of Indiada, who, six years ago, served as Senat ots together In her Legislature. 1 met them, sir, serving to gether in the same prison a term of imprisonment whieh had no other duration or limit, r.o beginning or end, no other cause or conclusion, no other" condition or circumstance to support it than the mete arbitrary, unlawful, unenlightened, will of the man here in Washington citv. Sir, as I stood in thatguarded room, listened to the story of their wrongs, and looked out upou the sunshine and the air and the flau of the white man's freedom floating in the distance strange thoughts possessed my mind, and strange vissions arose before me. A new sensation penetrated ray heart. I seemed to dwell for awhile beneath the shadow of the Bastile, aud hear the cries and groans which finally rent its walls. The dungeons of Austria opened around me, and the prayers of their victims for liberty seemed to fill allspice and all time. The damp vaults of Venia and the fearful caverns of the Spanish Inquisition yielded up their horrible secrets. The Tower of London, that melancholy tomb of genius, and of beauty, the imperious form of Henry VIII, the headman's axe, the reeking block, all became distinct to my view; and I looked, as it were, face to face into the frightful, appalling coun'enance of trinny, I studied its ferocious and tevol'inir fealures in the liht of histoiical associations. But when I came to reflect on all this, and reason from cause to etl'ect, I found that precisely the same terrible principle of oppre.sion which has disgraced the past, and filled other countries with tear and bljod, was triumphing in my very presence. I turned away, and took my ,:app3al fro n tyranny to God, ' But on the question of the integrity of the Constitution and ihe protection which it nflcv.li to the citizen, the voice of the people conies to our ears with a sound equally plain and dear. Jt rang out from the cities and plains, the mountain and the prali ie-s, i i stern denunciation of every infringement which this Administration has rnadu of that holy instrument, and in favor of the preservation of civil ii!erty, whatever else might p3rish. It demanded not only that, the prison doors should roll back and the victims of despotism be yielded up to the guardianship of the law but it deunndd h s, in the sovereign and imperious tone of a lice pccple that the au da ious and dangerous principle on which arbitrary airesis have been made, and sjieedy and public trials denied, hall bo at once and forever abandoned in the mott open and explicit manner. Kor, sir, will the p ople give any -cond wa.ning on this subject. They intend to be obeyed. They know themselves to be masters and not slaves. If the peaceful ad monition of the ballot b)x roes un heeded; if the reasonable aud earnest re mm t ranee of an enlightened aud patriotic people is lost on those who seem drunken and mad with power;. if the insane wickedness which has ruled this Congress and launched the pioent Administration en its .ehernes of ruin cannot be reached and restrained in its destructibe career by the popular voice coming up here in all its impressive grandeur; the sword, the sword, sir, must once more in the. annals of the world determiue the ancient issue so often baptised in blood, between the absolute power of one man, and the inalienable indestructible rights of the masses. I speak plainly. The time for words without meanin haj gone by. You may pas9 this bill to protect the Executive and his agents in the exercise of arbitrary power from the consequences of their own acts. You may place them above all responsibility. You may elevate them above lha law, and say that it 6hall have no claims on them for the violations it has suffered. You may say the victims of their baibarous oppression shall bo dumb in their prohonee. You may say that the citizen shall have no legal redress for his wrongs. You may sanctify power and outlaw liberty. Sir, no such law can b enforced. It will not for one moment bo obeyed. The courts will obey the Constitution, and so will the people, but they will treat euch a law as this us au intruder and a miscreant on the statute book, and bid it defiance. Sir, we must look the reality in the face, though we shudder at its terrible features. We are treading on the thin crust of a fla raing volcano. There is coming woe and disaster in ths very air around us. The tremor of the approaching earthquake is visible in tho ground on which we tread. The sign of the devastating whirlwind

are gathering in the angry sky over our heads. Already the deep muttering of its wrath can be heard in the distance. Will you stand still in stubborn mutiny against the racing elecsnts of popular indignation which injustice and political debauchery have aroused, and be crushed? There ia but one pathway of escape and safety. It is the pathway on winch the li"dit of the Constitution is shining in all its original luster. It is the pathway of the fatheis, in which the footprints of Washington and the sages of that hallowed period are yet plainly visible. It is the pathway of justice, of trnth, and o' honor. It is the path way of constitutional freedom, and leads to national life, union and peace.

Tlaying Willi Fire. The Evening Lost of this city is delibetately bent upon stirring up domestie violence and provoking anarchy in the North, From the license of the tongue it now passes on to invite the license of the torch and the sword. It calls upon the government of the United States to adopt against the citizens of the free States the infernal policy pursued by abandoned wretches at the extreme South against those who repudiate secession and cling to the Uni i, it paints a lurid and passionate picture ;f outrages committed in Alabama upon '"loyal" ciüzens ofthat 6tate, outrages barbarous as tho-e of the Sepoys," aud having thus wrought upon the feelings of its readers it goes on to use the followi:i 2f Janmiae: O o CD We have numbers of secessionists here, who do not conceal theii sympathy with the re, els why does not the government seize upon these and retaliate upon therr persons and property the wiongs suffered by the loyal men of the South? Here have been men and women shot and hunted by bloodhounds: and the govenrnmont should sciz "upon Mr. S. L 4 M. Barlow, James Brooks, Luke Cozens, and others, to hold them as hostages for the safety and good treatment of loyal men in the Soit'h infoimlng Davis that these friends cd' his will surely be hanged at iL firßt proof of a new outrage committed against a loyal Alibamian, For months past the Post and organs of the party Which it repiesents--a pam who.se loyalty :o the government is measured exactly bv the contracts which aro intrusted to its members, and by the sub sjrviancy of the administration to the pasaiitis of their followers lave been permitted to denounce as "secessionist," '.'traitors," and "sytnyalhizers with Jeffkuson Dams." all the men who dared to expose their dishonesty and to denounce the madness of their measures. For m mths past this irresponsible insclet.;e and lhe60 nn-si-med l.viders h-iVe be-?u hawked for Pale in the public streets against free and loyal citizens of the Not thern States. The man who should venture iii his own person to utter euch libels would have them driven down his throat; but th coaterapt of all brave r.nd honest men has be-in heretofore thou Mil a sufficient chastisement for the venal poltroons who have printed what they dare not say. But to all forbearance there comes at last an end. When the Post and its follows talk of copperheads'' and "secessionists and "traitors, the) mean the three hundred thousand volet 6 of New York who have dared at the polls to assert their right to a voice in x the control of the policy of their country. They mean the men for whom the ruin of the Union involves far more than it does for the contractors and politicians and fanatics who thus revile them and who are determined therefore to avert that ruin by tho untia'omeled exercise of all their rights. The leaders of these men have full confidence in their respect for law and in their indisposition to resort to any remedies against madness and fanaticism tavc those with which the Constitution arms them. But the passion of a great people is not a thing to be lightly trilled with. and wes warn the Post, its wilful abettors, and its thoughtless followers, that the hour which see them attempt to transfer their spite, their malice, and their insanity from the domain of words Into tho eloraain ol deeds will be the beginning of the end, not indeed for American liberty and for American law, but for those who have insulted the name of liberty by the pollution of their lip service, and assailed the foundations ol law by tho extravagance of their fanali World. I'olltlrul Xamci. The editor of the New York Express. who has had twenty -five Jeafrf, experience of fighting the Democracy, says; "THE CorrERIIKlDS." "If there be any thing the Democrats can stand, without wicch g or wilting, it is hard names, and what is curious; those hard names become the slogans of theii party, and afterwards mtensly popular. The original division of parties in this country, after 17HT, the era of the Constitution, was Federal" and "Republican."

MARCH 19, 1863.

ymi&anmn kk. ay mm Mima jbjjub The Federalist nicknamed the Republicans "JJemocrats, and they took tho name and made it popular; and "Demociacy" is now one of the most popular words in our American language, while originally the early Republicans deemed it a term of reproach. We, old Whigs, along in"lS303'2, christened all the Democrats. "Locofe.co." The "Express people gave them the name, because thev used locufoco matches in Tammany Hall to relight up that hall when the gas was shut off to clear them out. The rascals accepted our nick-name, Locofoco, and made it popular. Now, the Abolitionists are christening the Democrats "Copperheads," and if they persist in it we should not be at all surpriswd to find Copperhead a word as popular as Demoeucy, for whatever Abolitionism clings to or embraces it kills, and whatever it nicknames it makes a shibbol eth in popularity of. We old line Whigs, then, and De mocrats, accept tho name of "Copperheads'" Consider us "Copperheads." Call us ''Copp-meads.' " Copperhead, then, lot it be! It's a very expressive designation, Fkaui Everywhere. Fraud! Fraud! This is the prolific theme of every journal in the land save those devoted to the radical interest, or whose proprietors are inteiested in these pluuderings. Frauds in the army, frauds in the navy, frauds in the navy, frauds in the custom house, frauds in all the various departments of the Government . Whre and when aie those corruptions to end? It is said that Secretary Chase has one hundred and thirty-five presses engaged in turning out "greenbacks," and yet fails to meet the hungry demands for more! Never, in the history of our own, or any other, nation, has there been developed such a systematic series of stupenduous peculations. And yet, with all these startling truths, what single step has been taken by Congress to arrest the evil? Where is the evidence of the trial, much L ss of the couvicMon of one of these public thieves.' Congress has been so deeply interested ia legislating for the negro, that its members have failed to find time to look after the pecuniary interests of the nation. How long shall these things be permitted? Ex. The following we select from a speech recently delivered in the U. S. Senate by Wm. Salisbury of Delaware. It comes m plainly to the point, and is good advice: RESIST TO THE DEATH ARBITRARY ARRESTS HEREAFTER. Sir it may be said that there is no danger to the loyal citizens from this assumption of power on the part of the President; that he is honest; that his only object is to suppress the rebellion, and that the innocent will iu no manner sutler. Sueh a confidence may well become the willing slaves of power, the conscious tools of despotism. It becomes not me. "The price of liberty is eternal vigiUnce." The l est guarentee of liberty is the observence of the Constitution of one's country. 1 have no confidence in the honesty ot any man wlu, after having solatnly sworn to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States," can sofa yrantly altetnj't Us destruction, 1 ki.ow thtre is danger to the liberty of the citizen from this assumption of pow?r; I know that the innocent have suffered from it. I know that peaceable and unoffending citi zens of my own State have been "basliled" in different parts of the United States "Cut off from their family, their friends and their every connection." In behalf of the people of tr.y State, I have appealed in person to the President, and to his Secretary of War. My appeal has been in vain. I have appealed to this body to make lespectful inquiry in reference to the cause of their oppre ssion. My hppenl has" been refused. I make no other and no more, except to my fellow citizens of my own State. While I ever have and ever shall counsel my State to be the last to abandon the Federal Union into which she was the first to enter, and to patiently wait and bear until returning reason shall convince all sections that the best security for their rights of life, liberty and property, as that Union and under that Constitution which our fathers formed, and the dismemberment of sections of that Union may from this conviction again become reunited; yet I now and here say to the people of my Stale speaking to them as individuals who arc conscrous that they have ever been true a .d faithful to the Constitution and laws of their country being conscious of your innocence of just cause of offense, let ne) minion of despotic power hereafter arrest or imprison you, unless in accordance, with the law of the land. Against wrongful arrests DEFEND YOURSELVES; and in that defense use just that amount of force which is necessary for your protection; and whatever shall bo tho result, ycnir conduct will be in accordance with the law of the land, and will meet the

(approval of a righteous God. If you shall

fall in defens? of your rights you w;i! leave a legacy to your children or your friends an imnerish:ahie renown.

From the State Sentinel. The Ilcsolutiom or the Fourteenth Regiment. It is most unfortunate for the disciplitic of the army that many of its officers, to accomplish personal ends, have introduced the consideration and discussion of party and political issues among both the rank and file. The policy will react upon those who hoped thereby to gain an advantage for themselves, and the general effect will be to demoralize the army. Such resolutions upon political affairs are entitled to but little consideration, especially when the means used to secure those expressions are knov, d. and the motives which influence the leaders in getting them up. The Journal of yesterday contains the proceedings of a meeting of the officers of the 14th regiment Indiana volunteers, and the resolutions adopted by them iiv reference to a reported condition of affairs in Indiana reports which have no foundation in truth or in fact. The proceedings say "the resolutions were unanimously adopted by every soldier in tho 14tU regiment Indiana Volunteers, amid loud cheers and great enthusiasm." This is one side of the story. Their is another side, which puts an entire different face upon the matter. It appears that the private soldiers of the regiment do not coincide in the views expressed by its officers, and they certainly can have no motive in view but an honest expression of opinion. Below will be found a statement, signed bv sixteen members of one company, whieh undonbtedly tells just thd truth in regard to the reported passage of the resolutions by the 14th regiment and the true sentiment of the private soldiers upon the political questions now agitating the country: Cart p 14th liegt. Indiana Volunteers, Ib. 24th, 1SC3 Whereas, The officers of this regiment have sent to the State of Indiana a series of resolutions denouncing a majority of the citizens of our Slate, and said resolutions purport tobe the sentiments of our regiment, we the undersigned, do therefore consider it our duty and prvilege to say to the citizens of Indiana that those resolutions do not contain the sentiments of ono fourth of this regiment. The facts are as follows: Our regiment was formed this evening at 5 o'clock, the resolutions were read by our Aeljutent, after which Colonel Cravins made a short'speech, in which he elenounced the Legislature of Indiana as traitors, lories, tl'3.,and virtually threateneda any soldier with the Rip Paps who did not indorse the resolutions. The consequence was, about twenty-five persons, including commissioned officers, voted for the resolutions. The remainder did not vote. Iu fact, they could not without making just such an animal of themselves as Christ rode into Jerusalum. Our company numbers twenty-three men, three of whom voted for the resolutions. The vote in other companies would averige about the same. We, the undersigned, members of Company F. 14th Ind'aia Volunteers, do denounce said resolutions as a humbug. They do not contaiu the sentiments of this regiment, but were gotton up by ofiiceis who bear commissions under the authorities of our State, and we:e sanctioned by them only. lt. K.

NUMBER 7 WHOLE No. 1C3.

Kctnovul oflZic cutKliiiavImi J.nlv oratory and I!nlnc lloi,c i atauba and Swedish Hi atuliis, For some weeks past, the large siohe fcr00t g8 " 'TM fctr'et f 1 7;amore' Itte,J tc"id in part by the ! mS hl3 Company, have been in course of preparation for the reception of the business carried on so succetfully for some years past in our city, by Dr. C. V.Hoback, proprietor of the celebrated Scan dinavian Beraedie, the Blood Purifier and Pills, and the well known Stomach Bitters, which bear his name. The constantly increasing popularity of these medicine--, his required a third extentsbn of the limits heretofore occupied in their manufacture. The new premises, or.3 hundred feet front, and extending one hundred and thirty feet in the rear, have, internally, been completely remodeled, the spacious apartments now being connected by archways cut through heretofore soli J walls, and everything else having been d me, which cm facilitate the purposes to which thsy are devoted. In connection with the extensive business in which Dr. R. had previously been engaged he has, for some time past, entered largely into the manufacture of genuice Catawba Brandy, an arti.le already enjoying a most favorable reputation, and being widely ued for md?cinat purpose. A large anount of this has btcn introduced,most beneficially, into the army hospitals, hxivy orders having ben filled for th- use ol those iut:tutiotis ia Washington ci;y. Another extensive branch of this iuti. tution is tho manufacture ot the celebiatd Swodisa Brandy, it isa ktiruuiaang, aromatic a d slightly meieina1, bung anticjfenl remedy for dyspep-ia. It p.eisant beverage. Ladies can even partake of ordinary piaathies without feeimg undue intoxicating e dec is, o mild is its composition. It is a great favorite ic Sweden in fact so much s-j thai it may be siylnd the national beverage. It is prepated in the purest qüalüy by Dr. R.bick. A short viit to the ue pfemies of Dr. R. on Saturday last, proved moil intereti'lg, and we think is worthy a pssig ,0. tice. Entering from the neüiy arranged counting room, we go first to the rear ot the premises, and find ourselves in a large aera, where the presence ef spacious fur naces and capacious copper stills, notify us that we are in the region appropriated to the purposes of distillation. From this we entsr a spacious apartment lined with immense receivers, eajh containing huudids of gallons, devoted to the m;io especial purposes of the laboratory as needful in the preparation of the Scandinavian rrnedies. Entering anotner apartment, we come upon long tiers of barrels, ßtowed in every direction, at. d filled with the pumice and lees of last year's growth, to b;u-e ! in the manufacture of the Catawba Brandy, .mother still is devoted o the toraje of i nm-'nsc qualities of glass-ware, roo'.s, and other requisites needful to the proper preparation and putting upofthe mcelicina. One story higher up, and we come upon tho wjrkshop. or the apartmen's appropriated to the making of p'lls by machinery, and the b Jiing and labe.ing f the a . e by ban 1, the bottling of the bitters, and the other arrangements necessary to ft them for market.
