Voorloc3 lnaito a speech before the Democratic Convention at In dianapolis last week, of which the follow. ing is the substance: BPKEOIt OF MR. YOORHEF.8 v.naer the circnuiBlancos in uAAt ot which I have returned to Tiuliaim. a welcome such hs you havo given me is peculiarlj gratifyiiiK. I attribute it, how ever, but ta ou0 tiiBg--not to personal merit, but to that intogvitj that has com raanilod the reypect of our fellow citizens ever since it was enunciateJ iu Holy Scripture : " I have fought the good fight, and kept the faith." My first thought to-day is one of fervent gratitude to Al- migfttj ttod for the changed circuto stances that surround aa sinee I was in a Democratic Convention in Indiana. There are no cannon now to the refit or left ofi us. and uo bayonets around or about us, as there was then. I cougratulatp the Democrats of Indiana that th.y have a compact organisation that it itands firm and true, where it has ever stood, for the Constitution of our country, for the Union of ur 'J?UtM,!for liberty and law. Wf arpMiow rapidly advancing into a terrible conflict in behalf of our ancient princi ples. We are approaching 'one of the most eventful crisis that has ever occurred in the history of political parties in thU country. The" contest is not "with any new or unknown foe, I au not $n old- man, but I have met this enemy before. Y fought that party before tho late war thirty years ago, when it had disunion, the higher law, disrup tion of the bonds of harmony iusctibed as now upon its banner. It is ropreseutpd uow by the Cougress of the Uuited State.. The Cnion of the States, supremacy of the Coaytitution, preservation of civil lib erty, is to-day, so far as civil power ' can represent it represented now by the Pres ident of tho Uuited States. fUreat cheers. Here stands the two contending parties; the Convention that met here on the 22d pf febrsaiy pjada their choice; they cho?e to My io tlys mirable insulting resolution to the President that they would stand by him whiia ho stood by tba Con stitution, and that they would judge how far and how long He stood by tho Consti tution, but that Congress was the proper depository of power to enunciate the prin ciples of restoration j and further, that they woald support Congress at all haz ards. On that resolution the issue is pre sented to the people of Indiana. I have said that the party to which we are en posed is a disunion party. It is rep re sented by the Stevcncs and Sumncrs, the leading disunioaists of the land. Dut ffor thera the Southern men would never have 'moved ia tair schemes of disunion. These men were not for tho Union in the beginning, when the South attempted to secede. Witness' the newspapers the Indianapolis Journal, Cincinnati Com mercial, New York Tribune, all savins ' Let th. South go." They talk about, as being the disunion party. When and where was there ever a convention, town ship, county, State or Rational, but wkat resolved that the Union of these States must bo restored ? The oulv difference between them and us was that when, tho war broke out, these men that never loved the Union, seeing schemes of plunder and political rule looming up, thought they would slide into power on professions of patriotism and of being ; honest men. hat do wc ee now ? Are thev for the Union of the States 1 They sa? the South ern States shall : aot b .'restored": except opoa their destructive, despotic tyrannical partisan principles. ' The war is over and those States desire to return. The Pres- dcut desires to assist thci to return, but the leaders of tb,is p?fty, the laen whom the Republican- paety of Indiana indorses, shut the door m their faces and refuse t receive them.

Not merely does Congress rofnso adinivsiou to tho scarred veteran of tho Union, but it has sotlled on this policy, s In the broad regions of tin South there is a heavy population of ignorant creatures that arc to be enfranchised, not been use they expect them to vote intolUgcnUy, but the programme has been that when tho war was over, by usurping tho powers of tho States to ' fli.sfrunchisu Southern white people and enfranchise the Hacks, and confiscate tho luiulf, your bloa'ml manufacturers from the lOast, who gather the profits of'yuur b-rd earnings under tho tariff laws, will iro South and bnv thofc larue landed estates!

Equal ity before the law is what Sumner has in sciibcd on their baauer, and wh;it Con gress indorses. ; Vou will find them skulk ing and dodging here at home, but you must hold them to, the record. .Congress has voted fouegro suffrage, and there is no propriety in forcing it npon the people of one section, who. aro opposed to it, and withhold it from those of another section. lie called upon th;j prths and the Ju iiaps, who had voted for ijpgrp sufTrage in the District, to come home npd make the issue here ; to forco negro Ruffrago upon the people of Indiana, as they, had forced it upon the District of Columbia. It was not niauly to cram the loa"h?qme pill down the throats of a helpless community a thousand miles away, which they were afraid to offer to their own - constituents. Jlr. Voorhces then considered the clmr actcr of the Freedmeh'e llurcaa bill,' and extolled the President for vetoing it, 'say- cftrp pot f ,T past affiliations. I lulled him as a friend of the people, as taking a step in the . right direction to preserve constitutional liberty. Ton indorse Con gress, do you ! Cries of " No, no !"

Liberty 1 Equality 1 Fraternity 1 Negro .Suffrage I Chiucso Suffrnsiel Digger Suffrage 1 ' The " Nation " in the year 1 808 was of no particular color. Hung Yop and Mrs. Smith wore running for CongreHs, ; They supported h? long-tailed party. : Mr. Johuson, a black man, and Miss Jones were the nomiuees for Congress of the short-tailed party. Yung Hop addressed a large meeting on tho plaza. His party, the long-tails, were opposed to white male suffrage. He urged that "the 'white man was well enough as ho was. Nature had evi dently Intended him tdlbo tho iuferioj! of the Celestiul. Tho Ethio-Mongolian race had governed tha country fyrimajJy thir ty years. They had been thirty ypars of peacp and prosperity. Miquld power one more be placed in the hand of that race vyhose rule was characterized by the tur moils and convulsions which culminated ju 107. ? Had they uot shown tbeiuwlvcs most unfit for self government? Such was the substance of Yung Hop's remarks, and ho concluded among the Hi ya's of his hearers and the stomach stir ring strains of a China band. In Ports mouth Square, Mr. Johnson delivered on the same evening an able and eloquent abolition speech. He' came 'out fairly and squarely for the rights of the white mau. They were our brethren, he re marked, if their skins were not black. They had been a great people. Civiliza tion and the arts had once existed among them, and their poets and historians had written some of tho finest things iu their language. , But it was evident that the white man's cause was very unpopular. Few men but Mr. Johnson would have dared to fate that angry crowd. Expletives burst forth on every side, such as d d Abolitionists Caucasian Worshiper Go. sleep with your whito brothers! etc. it was even whispered that 31 r. Johnson had once married a white woman. Tho commotion about the speaker's stand became more threatening. A show er of dead pats darkened the air. ' They came from the Canton Dead Cat Club, an organization intended especially to break up short-tailed meetings. They raised cats especially for that purpose. The Youug Chinaman's Christian Bad Egg Association raised foul eggs for a similar purpose. Mr. Johnson could not stem, the torrent of dead cats. His friends managed to rescue him from the furious crowd. Prejudice against color.! fanaticism and dead cats parried the day. White was an interdicted color. In deed, tho Ethiop-Mongo Association had promulgated the tact that white was not a coiur. JCiveu wjnto wa3h was colored. A suspicion of a tincture of Caucaaiaa blood m the veins of a citizen was suffi cient to ostracise him from all decent black society. : , 1 he Caucasians were banished to the suburbs of the town. Thev were eruolov ed as waiters and bootblacks. They drove bwiIJ carts and brushed stoves. I saw a sign, " Iiutc veeth poli$hel hu A. V. O &. ' 1 beheld another, " l urc- icanIiuKj ifui here by Vol. Hawkins. Tho Board of education was dreadfully abused for allowing whito children to at tend at some of the Pubho Schools. How changed was the system of educa tion. . Geoirranhv was limited entirelv to New England and ''Africa. Latiu cud Greek had given place to the Congo and Mongo nan.; classes, in mathematics cyphers were represented by whito men. Every church had a Josh in the pulpit. The white man seemed going out of existence In derision the Ethiop-Mongo race termed them dodos. ; i .-V . Congress Wiping ont States. . Congress is not: content with oblitera ting Southern States, but Northern ones aro'also wiped out by that body at pleas ure. Reeentlyi in the contested election ease of ' Baldwin and Trowbridge, from Michigan,- the right of the State, to pay wno were and who were not yotprs, was denied by Congress, and the State Con stitution and the decision of the highest State Court were alike set at defiance The case was this: ; H "" ; ' The Legislature of. 'Michigan passed a law , authorizing soldiers in the field to vote. .' By this , vote of tho soldiers Trow bridge Was elected; without it Baldwin was chosen. A similar ; case was taken before the Supreme Court of the State to test the constitutionality of the law, and that Court, , composed of Republican JudgeSj'held that it was unconstitutional. The certificate of election was therefore necessarily given to Mn Baldwin, as the vote of the , soldiers , had been declared illegal by tho highest tribunal known to the State. Irowbridgo carried the case to'Congress, and that body gave hiur the scatj ousting Baldwin. ; lit this decision Congress has practically denied the right or a fctate to say who shall vote within the htate. It Congress has a right to count-votes that are declared illegal by State authority, it has an equal right to reject votes tnat are made lawful by the State,;. Congress has just as much right to reject every vote , cast in Ohio by a man' who does not own property worth $1,000,' as it has to count votes in Michi gan that are declared illegal by. the Con stitution; and judicial , authority of the otate. it it can do the one, it can do the' other. The moment it ia conceded tljat Cpngress ctnrwTaside the right of each State to dg'termJne its own electors, that moment Congrpss becomes a despotic power and the freedom0 of the jfeople is at an end. We ask our readers partic ularly our Republican readers to reflect upon this nratter and see to what such doctrines will lead. Toledo Record.

After talking to them awhile, t proposed three cheers for the President of the United States, These were given heartily. Three cheers wero then pro posed for the settled policy of the Uuited States, the Administration in regard to negroes. This was met by cries of "No! 4o i : The Colonel was absent, and tho Lieut. Colonel Wcs in command. I enquired what such conduct meant? The Lieut. Colonel endeavored to excuse the men by saying that they bad no opportunity to look over the matter. I replied " you are not telling tho truth, sir! I know that they have been discussing this ques tion for a week past. 1 know the fket if you do not." I ordered those who were opposed to this policy of the Government to step forward, and said I knew the regiment had seen considerable service and fought well ' but I also knew there was but little discipline observed among them that I w-nted a distinct recognition of this doc trinethat was the first with me. Sev eral stepped forward. They were in stantly seized and sent to the guard-house. I then left the regiment, tplling them I would give them a week to consider what they would do. At the next Sta tion I met the Coloucl of the regiment, who begged that I would leave the iBHttfcr in his bauds, and he would see that the men wero taught the duty t;f soldiers complied with the request. I The Bo.t n Commonwealth, thecspceia 1 .organ of Chas. Sumner, with the knowl edge of all the election frauds before it' in the spring of 18G2 said : . We do not find fault with the machin ery used to carry Maryland and Delaware. Having nearly lost the control f the HouPe by its blunders in the conduct of tha war from March, 18G1, to the Fallot' 18G2, the Administration owed it to the couutry to rccov.r that control somehow To recover it regularly was impossible ; so irregularity had to be resorted to. Popular institutions will not suffer, for the copperhead element will hare a much larger number of members in both branches than it is entitled to by its pop- uiar voie. vuio, witu its ninety tnouaaud Republican majority, will be represented by fivo Republicans and a dozen or piore Copperheads. It is fitting that this mis representation of popular - sentiment in the great State of the West should be offset, if necessary, by loyal delegation from Maryland and Delaware, won even at the expense of military interference If laws are silent amid the plank of arms, wo must take care that the aggregato public opinion ot the country obtaips re cognition sompbovy or other. ' Bisgrackfl'L A Washington letter to a New York paper speaks of the con dition ot some ot the poor, wounded soldiers there, and tho favor shown the negroes, in the following terse language There is no dodging this matter. , Public opinion will not allow the Govcrumcnt- nigger-soup-kitchen to remain open much longer, when ono can see in a walk through any of the public thoroughfares in i rew , lors, iso3pn. i'liiiaapipnia, Waslungton, or any large city, hundreds of 'one-arnied, one-lged young white men in raggee blue clothes, whoso beg garly pensions will scarcely keep their souls in ; the little' , that is left of their bodies, and who piteously beg, as I heard one of them at the gate of the Capitol yesterday: " For God's sake give me ten aents to buy a loat ot bread?
