Btcater Ingalls devoted two hour te hi peech in the Senate en Tuesday. Mr. Voorhees replied. He said his allusion last Wednesday te the senater from Kansas had been merely Incidental. Why should he assail thst senator T Men mistook themselves, and the senator from Kansas did se mere than any one roan he knew. Tbat senator bad net been alive, politically, since tbe Oth of Mareh last, when the sena tor from Kentucky (Blaekburn) disposed et him. Liughler and a yell of approval Iren) ene of the galleries The only criticism et his ( Veor hees' speech which he had seen In tbe press was tbat he bad galvanlssd a corpse. He disclaimed any purpose of tbat kind. Be had made no attack upon hltu, but upon tbe Republican partr, because he regarded the suuater from Kansas aa the uinst brilliant and capable man en bla aide of tbe chamber, and aa elevated te It high est position. Consequently, when he list ened te bis astounding, amazing and extra extra erdlLary speech en the O'.hef Mareh be had paased him by ; but be had arraigned tbe party of which be bad been made tbe leader, because no membsr of it in either Heuse bad disclaimed his terrible assaults en tbe most brilliant names In American history. The senater (Ingalls) had read te the Senate tbe old, Biale, putrid, rotten slander or years gene by, en whleh be ( Yoerhees) bad trampled in forty political campaigns. It bad seemed te him llke tbe voices of spavined, broken-winded, hackneyed, political campaign liars et the last tweuty live years. That he ever uttered one word against Union soldiers or talked of their having cellars around their necks wss ae bate a falsehood, ae Infamous, that the black walls of perdition could net redupli cate It And he said te tbe aeualer from Kanbas (without meaning, perhaps, tbe tullextentet what his words cenveycd)that it was net in his pewer te fish up from the sewers of infamy the old cimpalgn Ilea and make thorn respectable in tee Senate of the United States; but It was possible for him by a abort step te put himself en an equality with them. He admired the senator' brilliancy and his aclwlastle habits; but he bad been bem With "lnae curacy" marked en him; and if he were his (Voorhees') "long lest brother" far whom he was looking be would atrip him and leek for ''Inaccuracy' marked some-, where en him. biugbter The senator did net state things ojrrecuy, and euld net de se. It waa tee late for tbe senater from Kan sas te plead that he had only spoken of Mo Me Clellan and Hancock as allies or the Con Cen Con ledoracy In their civil capacity. He bad charged McClellan with endeavoring te make the war a failure. Ne greater charge could be brought agalnat Benedict Arneld than that charge against McClellan. Baser, worse, mere infamous oenduot could net be attributed te man en earth than that be wero tbe epaulettea and uniform, belted bla sword and took the honors et his coun try, and went te the Held with afslae heart, desiring te make the war a fatlure. And tbat waa what the senator from Kacsa charged en McClellan, the gentleman and patriot Was he (Voorhees) net Justified In calling the attention or tun oeuntry te the fact that the highest clllcer new in tbe government by itapublican suffrage dared te affront the common sense and common decency et tbe nation In such a manner T Somebody elae than the senator from Kansas, he thought, with mere claim te military experience should undertake te Iki a conser of McClellan and Hancock. Wbatever shortcomings he (Voorhees) might have bad, be would stand with tbe senator from Kansas botere the soldiers et Indiana or the soldiers et Kansa", and would quit the Senate it he waa net ap proved ey them ever the senator. If that were arrogance It was Justified by the prov ocation. Referring te tba nttacka upon the people of tbe Seuth, he Bald that the senator Ireji Kansas might war en sueti a people, hut the end would le their triumph aud his du- ieai. iAppiause.1 Mr. IiiKttlls renoended that si the sena ter from Indiana had scen fit te Invite comparison botween their records and re lations te the great finest Ions of the pist twenty.fi ve years ha lelt it his duty te put en record, from Intormntlen In his posses sion, what the senator's record and his tory wa. He should refer only te publle matters In publle records, and should vtnture the affirmation that, whatever mlgnt have bwin his own (la galls) relations te the great struggle be tween the North and Siutfa, the senator from Indiana had been trein the outset tbe determined, ouUpekon, positive, asierea asierea slve and mallgmint euemy of the Union csnse.

I veted for every dollar thst paid tbe soldier for every stitch of cletbea he were, and for evFry pension bill tbat rewarded his services. " Mr. Ingalls then complained tbat tbe sen sen ter from Indiana hadathiaclub called him (Ingalls) a Cartouebe, a Judge advocate and a peevish, paltry politician. If tbat was tbe senatei's idea et the observance of the courtesy wblcb euabt te prevail atnene gentlemen, wetland geed. Wben be bad eacapeu irem tne malignant conspiracy which bad followed him with malice from tbeatatecipttel te the doers of tbe Senate chamber the senater hd been the flrat te write him a note of congratulation ; yet the senator came in here te day and thanked Ged that he had never been followed here by a committee te question his rlgbt te his seat ; and, with much diffusiveness of Illustration, bad endeavored te cast asper sions upon htm and belittle blm and hu miliate him in the eyes of the American people, when he (ingalls) had only reler red te tbe senatei's public utterances, bis speeches, whtcb be bad never denied. Mr. Voerhaes declared tbat he did deny it Mr. Ingalls replied tbat the senator oeuld net deny the publication he had read. It was a verbatim report and ae certified te. Mr. Voorhees asserted tbat net ene word or syllable read by the senater was true, or believed te be true in Indiana. The so se so cusatlen bad been trampled under feet. Tbe senator's Insinuation that be (Voor hees) had ever been a member of a uelltl. cal secret society the Knights of the Gelden Circle was se base and Infamously falaetbat he did net knew bow te cheese language te denounce It aa such. This eaused a sensation in the galleries and manifestations of approbation und re re preval, and tbe sergeant alarms was ul reeled te place under arrest any person thereafter violating tbe rules el tbe Senate. Later, Mr. legalln read a letter which had bean written tu the Seuth In December, I860, commending F. A- Sbute, who bad later become a Confederate brigadier gen eral.

Mr. Voorhees said that if the gentlemen from Kansas would find one single vote thst be bad cast against the payment of sol- Ulersrer ineirBuppue, icr ineir bounties, or agatnst tbe appropriations for their pen sions, he would resign his seat In the Sen ate. Every word the senator had stated en tbat subject was absolutely fslse by tbe record absolutely false. He measured bis words. Tbe senator said tbat be (Voorhees) was au object of his charity ; the senator waa an object of his contempt The senator said tbat he (Mr. Voorhees) bad Issued a proclamation In 1661 tbat he would net vote ler money or men.
