DANIEL.

The Tall Sycamore of the Wabash.

He has a Talk with the Democracy.

Attacks Once More the Eternal Negro.

Washes his Hands of Land Grabbing.

According to previous notice, Hon. Daniel W. Yoorhees spoke at the Court House on Saturday night. Earljr in the evening Touts' Brass Band commenced playing and proceeded to the place for speaking, but at the time of arrival at the corner of Third and Ohio streets, there were but ^few of the unterrified present. However, after the Band had played a few lively tunes, a crowd of about 50 or 60 people gathered. It was ascertained that the Republicans had possession of the Court House, there being a meeting there by that party for the purpose of selecting delegates to -the County Convention. This was also according to previous notice. The Republicans gave up the court room, and repaired to another place for the purpose of transacting the business for which they had been called together. About half after 8 o'clock, after a tune by the Band in the court room, Mr. Yoorhees entered. He was greeted by a half dozen persons clapping their hands. Mr. A. D. Huff, then moved that Mr. Isaac Beauchamp be chosen to preside over the meeting, which motion prevailed. This gentleman then introduced the speaker, who at once took position on the stand, and commenced his remark^. We have not space to make more than a brief outline of the speech, which we regret. At the time speaking commenced, there were not more than 100 people in the house, all told.

INTRODUCTORY.

Alluding to the rope walking at the National Hotel, at which place there was a vast crowd of people, Voorliees said it was hard for him to speak againstashow, but that on this occasion, he did not, intend to make a speech, but merely to have a private talk with his Democratic friends. He thanked the audience for the honor done him and was grateful for the appreciation the people had of his efforts to serve them in the National Congress. With the people ol this District the speaker said lie was well acquainted. and they with him, and he beheved that all had full confidence that lie had, and that he would in future do his whole duty. Unred bv a strong desire to see his family ana personal friends, as well as a desire to talk to the Democrats of Terre Haute, he had came lrom

the Capitol of the Nation, and that sired to talk, not to make a speech. (Mr. Voorhees here informed the^meeting that the Etepiub_ licanshad kindly gave up the Court House for tha Democracy, and thanked them for doing so.) ,V 1 REMARKS.

Starting out,he said he had been assailed by cer tain newspapers in the district, but cared nothing for the attacks. He let them pass like the idle wind. He was fortunate in having lew friends, but he had a class of friends who would not desert him at any time. His friends, he said, and his ememies were positive, and of this lie was glad. Felt sure that his friends understood his motives, cared little for his enemies.

SOLDIERS' PAY.

Mr. Voorhees then spoke of his action in regard to soldiers' pay, and became quite verbose, and somewhat "star spangle bannered" in his remarks, appealing to the soldiers in his happiest vein for support. It was the same old story that he lias told before, so we will not repeat!. [Mr. Voorhees' defense of his acts during the war, with the soldiers,will have quiteasmuch weight as that of those heroes of themselves, whose deeds of valor, high emprise, and great renown, were done on the bloodless fields on the Canada side of the Niagara River and the lakes. —REPORTER.] THE NEGRO.

Dropping the soldier question, and the matter of soldiersppay, Mr. Voorhees passed to a theme which was more congenial to him, and of which he talked more freely. It was theinevitable negro. He boldly charged the Republican leaders with having deceived the people on the question of negro suffrage. CoL Thompson had told the people of the district that the Republicans did not want negro suffrage In Indiana, but were in favor of it in the States where the people had been in rebellion. This, he declared,

was

the programme of the Repubjican par-ty,-but it was not now, after the adoption of the loth amendment. He insisted tliat, at the organization of the State government, and when the Constitution of the State was formed,at Corvdon, it was set down in that instrument who should and who should not vote. He thought the peoplfl of the Stat© etill had the right to say who should and who should not be voters within its borders. The speaker appeared confident that it was in the power of the State still to disfranchise the negro—at least, he expressed that confidence. Two years ago it was said, continued the speaker, that no such child as negro suffrage should be born, but Morton had said that the child should be born, and so it was. Upon this negro question he said much mere, in fact, it was the "burden and theme of his song," a song which all have heard him sing before, hence it will not be interesting to speak more about it. The history of the adoption and ratification of the 15tli amendment to the Constitution is familiar to all, so much so, that we doubt whether the Honorable gentleman, with liiseloqence, can much enlighten the people on that subject.

PERSONAL.

A specch from the "Tall Sycamore of the Wa bash," without frequent complimentary notice of himself, would not be recognized by the peo pie who have been in the habit of hearing him ience in the course of his remarks, after dressing down the negre, he proceeded to tell his auditors what he proposed to do in the fall cam paign. As no other man could, he would expose the corruption of the Republican leaders, and the Republican party. It was an important matter that he be placed before the people, as candidate for Congress,si nee lie knew so much of the corruption of the Republican party. He said, "I am proud that I have had no lot in this "black-bird light," and on that question lean fully expose the tricks of the Radical party. He said, in emphatic language, that he did not want the colored men to vote for him, because he thought lie would not need their votes, leaving his auditors to infer that if he did, he would court that vote. However, reflecting a little, he said, "It is not in my heart to be unkind to white or black. I 'lever believed that the white and black race ought to mingle together, but I have no unkind feelings for the alack man." Certainiy the colored population ought to feel complimented.

PONDEROUS.

Passing on, Mr. Voorhees made another "ponderous" statement. He said that he had seen his boot-black sitting in a private box at a fashionable theater in Washington, and intimated that it was his private opinion that the aforesaid boot-black ought to have been "booted" out of the theater. He did not say so, but that was a fair inference. After making this startling announcement, Mr. Voorhees said: "Now, gentlemen, I want to go to Congress once more, and then I am done. -I will ask you for no more favors. But, of course, if the jeople will not let me go, I will have to stay at lome."

FOREIGNERS. JIJ

Having thus 'eased his conscience on the negro question, the Honorable gentleman made an appeal to the prejudices of the foreigners. He insisted that in a late election in the city ol Indianapolis, no Germans had been put on the ticket. His platform embraced all, the Celt, Anglo-Saxon, and all civilized people. He .would leave it to. the opponents of the Democracy, to recruit their ranks from the negro race. T.ius it will be seen that the basis of his remarks, the body of his speech Ac., was the negro. Upon this subject of foreigners, he said much more, but we have hot the space to do more than refer in general terms to his remarks on this topic.

THE BANKS.

Next in order came the National Banks for a share. He stated that he had ho interest in the banks, and could therefore speak Ireely, and without prejudice. First of all it was important that there should be a circulating medium this circulating medium had been issued, but the plan of the government afi under the management of the Republican party, gave the banks entire control of that circulating medium, &c. After that, he went off in the usual strain about the public debt, but did not tell at what rate that debt had been reduced during the last year, nor did he once refer to the fact,

that despite of this great debt, contracted to save the life of the nation and, which, it was supposed would keep gold at 91.50 at least, for years to come, We were how almost at, specie special payment. This fact he failed to state to his audience

Under the-general head of Banks, and Bankers, he attacked with vigor, and immense verbosity the bondholders, and made that class of our people the special theme for remarks during the space of fifteen minutes. Again he re^H1? soldiers, and said that he thought they Ought to have been paid in gold, but how that the war was over, he insisted that bondR? °iU?A Paid in "greenbacks"—and that the debt ought to be paid in greenbacks, as

par with gold, perhaps it will not make "much dtneiciioe, "Whether the debt be paid in sxeen* J®®®.01 gold. It was on the "greenback" rock that the great Pendleton ship foundered, belt remembered.—REPORTER.]

flasswant

THETARIW, "V-

The next thing which claimed Mr. Voorhees, attention, was the tariff. This he regarded odious, and in many respects he was right,,no doubt, but the people who have lived and prospered under the Government in the hands of Republicans, have fUll confidence that within the ranks of that party all the evils growing out of a tariff system, made especially to suit our wants during a fearful conflict for the life ofthe Nrttion, wtll, indue time, all be remedied. But, to db the' speaker' Justice, we give one of his illustrations, in fact, the only one he made, to wow the workings of the present tariff. It is this: You Sit at tne table. Flrat. the plftte pays a dutv. aeeond, you desire to eat an egg, the

in which the egg is broken pays a duty, ou salt, and reach over the table, the saltcellar pays a duty, Ac. This is a fair specimen of Mr. voorhees' reasoning, if reasoning it may be. called, on the tariff question. We repeat,

K"'':ti-'''

the tariff system needs remodeling, but it were far better to let those do it who stood by the soldiers during the war than togivethejob over into the hands of such as cried out, "Not another man nor another dollar to support this unholy war."

ON A FARM—MORE PERSONAL.

Pursuing the tariff question, the Honorable gentleman reminded his hearers that he was raised on a farm.. He said, politicians do fiot know what a farmer pays. Fortunately he did. On the bucket he uses in the well, the axe with which he chops his firewood, the tongs with which he stirs his fire, his coffee pot, his skillet, and his plates, all pay a tariff. We merely mention these tlii ngs to inform the public what they may expect in the coming campaign frem the "Tall Sycamore of the Wabash." Surely, there is a tich treat in store for all. Republican politicians, who propose to measure swords with this Democratic giant, must buckle on the armor, and prepare for the light. A hint to the wise is sufficient.

T.'I V-INCOME TAX. -V"

On this proposition, the speaker declared that he was opposed to the repeal of the Income Tax Law. Opposed to it he said, on the ground that no poor people paid an income tax, it was the rich, the bondholders, the bankers, the merchants, &c.. who paid this tax, hence he was opposed to the repeal of the law.

Emphatically

lie was.oppose^ to the repeal of this law. THE VITAL QUESTION. At last the speaker came to the vital question, the Pacific Railroad bill. Of all the iniquity of that concern he washed his hands. As a "land grabber" he declared that he was not a success, and that his soul was purged of all sin. He read his record, but as that record will be handled in future, we do not at present propose to speak of it at length. At the close of his speech, three cheers were given for him.

SNIPED!—A party of young men called at our office last night at 10 o'clock to report having left a runner for a Louisville house, south of the Nail Works, bag and candle in hand, waiting for the snipe! We presume he'll get in before we go to press.—Express.

The gentleman referred to says he was not so much "sniped" as it was thought. He informs us that he took the candle and sack, and pawned them at a lager beer saloon for sundry drinks for himself and friends. The articles may be redeemed at the pleasure of those "snipists." So he says.

WARD MEETINGS.—On Saturday evening Republican meetings were held in the different Wards in the city,'for the purpose of appointing delegates to attend the County Convention, which is to be held on the 11th inst. The following named gentlemen were appointed delegates:

Delegates selected, E. Church, R. J. Sparks, Wm. Langfsrd, Joseph Broadhurs, and Thos. McCullo?h.

MICHAEL DODSON.—We announce, with sincere regret, the death of Michael Dodson, at his residence in this city this morning at half past 12 o'clock. Mr. Dodson has been connected with the Terre Haute and Indianapolis Railroad since July, 1854, and for 10 years of that time has been one of the most trusted ol the faithful band of passenger engineers of that road. He has been suffering for the past four months with consumption. His funeral will be attended on to-morrow (Tuesday) afternoon at 4 o'clock from his late residence on Thirteenth street.

MEAN.—Just as the "unterrified" in half dozens were flocking to the Court House on Saturday night, to hear Hon. Daniel W. Voorhees speak, some evil minded person rushed into the crowd and announced that at the National Hotel, a mammoth Turtle weighing 500 pounds could be seen. tJpon this announcement being made, about 20 left the crowd and went to "intervew" the Turtle. A "lifedemocrat" indulged in curses, not loud but deep. It was superlatively mean in the fellow.

A REPUBLICAN TRICK.—Saturday night, it was quite late before "the people" congregated at the Court House to hear Hon. Dan. W. Voorhees speak. ThiB worried an enthusiastic disciple of Dan. and he gave vent to his feelings in this way: "That d—d rope walking is a Republican trick. It was got up to keep the crowd away from the speaking to-night. The next time these Republicans will get an organ and a monkey to break up a Democratic meeting, d—n 'em."

QUARRELS.—The Express has an article in opposition to a man sleeping with his wife—thinks it productive of quarrels. Many family quarrels arise because the husband don't sleep with the wife.

DEWIT HULSE, son of the late Peter Hulse, of this county, was in ouf office today, he having returned, after an absence of 19 years in California. He expresses great astonishment at the improvement of this city during his absence.

The following is an extract from a letter recently received from Capt. McDonald, a well-known and highly respected citizen of this place, who has recently engaged in business in the coal regions of Clay county. It sufficiently explains itself, and I will only remark that it was entirely unsolicited and not written as a puff for the stove mentioned. S. R. HENDERSON.

"The stove surpasses our expectations. In fact. I would not sell it for three times what it cost me, if I could not get another like it, and as for the saving in fuel, it will more than pay for. itself in one year, here where wood is no object. It would certainly pay for itself in a very short time where fuel is higher. My wife says that she would have no Other stove now. One common coal bucket of coal will last all day and keep up a good fire, and as for baking, it does all that is claimed for it and with one of the "American Broilers", we can have the finest broiled steaks that any person ever put a fork into. There is no smell or taste of smoke or coal about them. I would advise every person to buy a "Chicago" and and an "American Broiler" and they need have no fears but what they can have a "square meal" three times a day, provided they furnish the materials to get them up with.
