J. Ingalls, of Kansas, for his scathing expose of the treasonable record of Daniel W. Voorhees, a man who at the outbreak of the war of the rebellion was in close accord and correspondence with the Southern

conspirators; a man who, together with other, Democratic time-serv-ing politicians, declared the war to be the failure he endeavored to make it, a man who as a member of Congress sought to embarrass the government in its legislation, a man who discouraged enlistments in the Union army by loading the volunteer Union soldier with opprobrious epithets, a man who bartered for arms to be used in a Revolutionary uprising of secret, treasonable societies for the purpose of wresting Indiana from the Union even at the expense of a bloody domestic Vfar;jn fine, a man who, while acting the part in war of the enemy of the Ui\ion soldier, ijp.w in peace relying upon the oblivion of years, poses as bis friend, and through fulsome flattery seeks hie suffrage.
