Daniel W. Voorhcos at Terre llatnlc, Iml., August 8. My Friends and Fellow Citizens Tho position in which I stand before you at this time is not of my own seeking, and brings with it many personal em barrassments and personal regrets. I nev er expected to appear again in your pres ence as a candidate. You have honored me in the past far beyond my merits, and my gratitude to the people of this district will only cease when my heart grows cold and still in the grave. The memory of their personal devotion to me, through sunshine and through storm, through good and through evil report, will forever light up the pathway of my life. Young and inexperienced when I entered Congress seven years ago, I did not claim that my services were worthy tho attachment and support which I re ceived at your hands. I claim nothing for my public services except a sincere and earnest desire to promote the prosperity of the people ami to sustain and uphold the Union of the Stales and tho liberties of the Constitution. Conscious before Cod of this high and holy purpose, I was willing to let my humble record stand, while I voluntarily retired to the private pursuits of my profession, and sought to give this portion at least of m.v life to the pleasures and duties of homo and friends. The love of office is not one of the passions of my heart. Striftr and contest for place and position are not elements of my nature. I have seen enough of the World to feel how its hon ors cheapen and fade away as we come near them, lint a duty belongs to each one in the struggle for correct principled which now agitates and abates this mighty country. Those to whom I owe more than a lifetime can repay imve as signed to me my duty. They bid me carry their banner in the Congressional contest. They place in my hands the colors of Conservatism, and tell me to defend them and cause them to wave in the evening of the battle over a Held of victory. I accept the charge in obedi ence to their command, and invoke the candid consideration of an enlightened people upon tho principles which will guide mo if I again become your Repre sentative. In presenting these principles, I have marked out for myseli a line of conduct, from which I shall under no circum stances depart. I shall present them with kindness to all. Those who show me the courtesy to hoar me shall receive courtesy in return. Invective is not ar gument, aud convinces no one. Passion is a bud guide to correct conclusions, and a Christian people should discard it from their counsels. If there have been asperities in the past, they will not bo revived by me, nor will they be noticed if revived by others. lam in the midst of friends and neighbors, and there is not an office in the world which I would accept at the expense of their respect. I concede to all who may differ from mo the same purity of motive ami the same love of country which I know animates my own breast. “ Come and let us rea son together.” If, then, we cannot agree, and you decide against me, I will cheer fully bow my head to the will of the peo ple. Tho Principle* Involved lu tho Content. I need not, my fellow citizens, seek by strong expressions to enhance and mag nify the importance of the questions to be settled by you at tho approaching election. They are tho gravest, the mightiest, and tho most commanding that were ever submitted for decision to the ballot of freemen. .The great and original principles of free government are all at stake. Tho sacred blood of the Revolution cries to you from the ground to save the great charter ol liberty for which it was shed. The whole frame work of tho Government sways to and' tro with an uncertain aud easy-hhotiun. Its various departments no longer move In harmony, but crash and jar in angry and dangerous collision. The laborer no longer enjoys the fruits of bis toil, but is daily robbed by the unrestrained hand of plunder and unequal and uuiust taxa tion; Since Adam weut forth from the groves of Eden —the founder of tho la boring man’s party throughout the uni verse—the chief aud paramount duty of every government baa been to protect Us citizens in the enjoyment of their own hard earning. That government which fails to do tills, is on the swift, sure road to ruin and decay. Lot us take a survey of tho facts on this point, for which the Radical party is responsible to tho peo ple. The best test of the capacity of a party to bring prosperity to a country is its use of the public money. The Radical party has had entire supremacy, in the legisla tion of tho country for many years past, and must stand or fall by the record it has made. TI»o Vast Proportions or tlic Fnbllc Debt. The amount of our national debt is known to bo about two thousand six hundred millions of dollars. This is a sum so vast that the public mind scarce ly grasps it at a mere statement, and yet it is highly necessary that every citizen should fully comprehend and measure Us gigantic proportions. This debt ex its as a perpetual mortgage on all your property, ami on all your labor, and on the property and labor of your posterity. According to the policy of Congress, it is lo be handed down from lather to son for the next hundred years, darkening every doorway with its inexorable de mands. Has it lully occurred to you what proportion this debt bears to your posesssions, out of which it is to bo paid ? A careful estimate of all the property of CARLISLE, PA., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER IT, 1868, the United States subject to taxation would show a value at this time of about $15,000,000,000. Thus you will see that more than one sixth of every thing own ed by the American people is covered and absorbed by their national debt.— This is a plain fact that a boy at school can demonstrate. Where in the history of civilized nations was there ever before such a debt in proportion Tb the means of payment? I challenge the annals oh mankind. .Other nations have tithed their people—taken a tenth of their pro ductions—but such instances have here tofore been cited only as bold illus trations of audacious despotism. You are nearly double tithed, and the Radi cal Congress gives no sign or promise of relief. At the close of the great Napole onic war of Europe, in 1815, England found her bebt to amount to about $3,- 500,000,000. But to meet this liability her taxable property reached the enor mussum of $5O, OOOjOOD.OOO, making her debt bear the proportion of one-four teenth to her ability to pay. Your bur den therefore, is more than double that which lay upon the shoulders of the Englishman. Yet British statesmen found it necessary, in order to relievo t heir people, to reduce the rate of interest on their bonds to two and a half and three per cent, thus malting a reduction of one half of the public burdens. Shall the American laborer he less an object of care and kindnesson the part of his Gov ernment than the subject of the British monarchy? Shall a crowned head be more tender and considerate to the de mands of labor than an American Con gress? Shall the old tyranny of King George, against which our lathers drew the sword, became more tolerable to the tax payer than our own boasted asylum of the* oppressed? But looking at the (|uestion of your national debt, let us not forget that our liabilities do not stop there.-It is, perhaps, impossible to as certain the exact amount of the State, city, and county debts which are owed by the people of the United Slates, but. their amount will at least double the na tional debt, which is known and ascer-. tained. I trust the people will look squarely at these important facts, not as partisans, not as .Democrats, uot as Republicans, but us honest men, who hold in their own hands the remedy for all evilsand injustice in the legislation of the country. I speak to you not for par ty or party triumph, but for the prosperi ty of the people. But it will be said that this vast debt was made by the war, and that the war was necessary to preserve the Union. — Even if this were all true, and no part of your debt was the work of those thieves and plunderers whom John H, Hale described in the Senate, in 18G2, as endangering the Government and liber ties of the people more than the armed enemy in the field, yet it would In no way efiect or defeat the purpose I have in making this statement. I wish the people, in the first place, to see clearly and plainly where they stand —how much they owe and what they have to pay with. They will then bo better able and prepared to appreciate the crimes that have been committed against them du ring the last three years by the Congress of the United States. When the war closed, and a mountain of debt, as I. have shown, lay upon the bended shouldersof honest toil, what policy on the part of your. law makers was so strenuously called for as the policy of economy—close, rigid, searching economy? With one-sixth of your lands and their harvests, one-sixth of your fiocka and herds ami every sixth day of your labor under mortgage for a public debt, one-half of which was the result of robberies on the Treasury by contractors and other birds of prey, it was not wonderful that from every farm or workshop, from every hearth stone where industry presides as a household good, there went forth an appeal for re trenchment and reform such as never before arose from the hearts and minds of the American people. I ask you, whatan-wer has been made to this ap peal ? lias Congress cut oll’useless ex penditures and lowered your taxes? — Has the Government returned to the simplicity and economy of your fathers? Remember that all the responsibility is with Congress, for, by a two-thirds vote, all power is in their hands. I arraign Congress, therefore. Every dollar you pay has to be sanctioned by Congress, in an appropriation bill, before the tax- 1 gatherer comes for it. Congress fixes the annual amount and sends the collector. How, then, has the Radical Congress ad ministered your interests and disposed of your money ? lCx(rUT»j;aut I'xju'mlJ tmc*. A short tiihe since an investigation ami publication wore made by a Iladical gentleman of the name of Weils, in Washington city, with a view of answer ing the charge of extravagance now made from every month against Con gress. According to his own estimates, since the surrender of Lee up to June 30, 18(58, n little more than three years of trofound peace,you have paid for thear ny $917,117,043, and.for a navy “as idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean/' the sum of $133,110,1170, making for war like purposes and preparations in a pe riod of perfect pecee, the appalling .sum $1,050,237,310. This for a period of three years shown an average annual tax upon the country of over $300,000,000 for the army ami navy alone. Is this to he home? Who will vote to continue such a frightful curse? Three hundred mil lion dollars a year for the arraj’aml navy.’ Before the war the expenses of the Gov ernment, including everything, never reached over elghty-flvo millions per an num, and when they arose to near that amount during the Mormon war of Bu chanan's administration, the people were aroused to fury by Radical leaders, who now calmly behold the army and navy alone costing nearly four times that sum. No one need hesitate to denounce the'atrocious crime against the labor and the liberties of the country. During the first year of. the war, while mighty ar mies were being raised and great battles fought, while rebellion was in command, the array cost you only $160,157,794, and the navy $20,889,170, making In all $190,- 04G,9'0. Thus it appears that war was not as expensive us peace lias been under the carnival of madness and misrule which has reigued“afc Washington. But extravagance and corruption pre vades every other department, as well as the army and navy. The revenue col lected by this Government —and every dollar coming from the laborer at the last—during the year ending tbe 30th of June last, reached the stupendous sum of $471,700,000. Where does this mighty sura go? Does it reach.the coffers of the Treasury ? We are at peace with the world. Scarcely a spec of Indian war appears on our borders. There is no rea son why our expenses should reach $lOO,- 000,000 u year, exclusive of interest on the debt and pensions; and yet from tbe 30th of June, 18G7, to the 30th of June, 1808, a Iladical Congress levies and col lects of the people’s taxes an amount of money almost equal to the whole amount expended by Pierce and Buchanan both, duringeightyearsof administration ! If the people will submit to this moat ex traordinary and unblushing profligacy, and elect men to office to uphold and justily it, then, indeed, are bankruptcy and despotism upon the land. I’alfio l*r»(cftSloua of Kconomj- nml Virtue. Ono of tho resolutions of the Chicago Convention is as follows; “The Government of the United States should be administered with the strictest economy, and the corruptions which have been so shamefully nursed and fostered by Andrew Johnson call loudly for radical Reform.” With this false pretense of virtue and economy in their mouths, every expen diture has been steadily increasing, aud the scheme of reconstruction uphold by the army is costings4o,ooo,ooo more than a year ago. How is Andrew Johnson re sponsible for this? He cannot spend a dollar that Is not appropriated by Con gress, and he has steadily opposed all those measures which are enforced upon the country by Congress, and which are crushing you to the earth with taxation. We have, then, the Radical definition oi the “strictest economy,” as practiced in the legislation of the country. Ii means an annual expenditure of nearly £500,000,000 of the people's money in lime oi peace, which never before cosi you over $85,000,000. If tills is the •‘strictest economy” of that party, it D time the economy of some other party should bo tried. Coat of the Frccdmcn’* Rurcati. As additional evidence of the economy promised by a Radical Congress, we lino the sum of ($11,740 050) eleven millions seven hundred and forty-six thousand and fifty dollars appropriated for the sup port of the Freedmeu's Bureau. This miserable institution has also been oxten ded again by law for another j'ear. with increasing cost to the people. It was cre ated in March, 1866,and has, during each year of its existence, been more expensive to the taxpayer than the entire adminis tration of the whole country was forty years ago. The annual revenues of the administrationsof Monroe, John Qufnct Adams, and the first term of Genera! Jackson, were not equal to the annual burden which tills system of support for idle negroes iu the South imposes on you laboring men of the North. Every vote on your part given for the Radical party, and especially for its candidates for Con gress, goes to indorse, approve, and pro long this infamous and oppressive legis latiou. Is there one man iu the Sixth Congressional District who earns his liv ing by labor who will vote to uphold a party winch spends from ten to fifteen 1 millions a years of the public money for the support of Southern negroes? Is there one man in this district willing to work for the support of the idle African, who is the ablest anti moat robust laborer in the world. If there is I would like to see him. I Would like to hear his reasons. I would like to hear him explain his vote in the presence of his wife aud children, who look to him for the necessaries and comforts of life. I would like to hear their comments upon a system of laws which robs and cramps them, in order to sustain as public beggars the lazy, able negroes of the South. I will give as a specimen, one of General Howard's own estimates, who,.as you are aware, is super intendent, under the Radical Congress, of the Freedmon’s Bureau . Ho says: It is estimated that the amount requir ed for the expenditures of the bureau for the fiscal ,\ o ir commencing January, 1860, will be $11,743 056. This sum is requisite for the following purposes: .Salaries of assistant and sub-assistant commissioners, Si-17 r»no salaries of clerks, 82 800 Stationery ami printing, 000 Quarters and fuel, 15 000 Clothing for distribution, 1,750 uoo commissary stores, i,UH> 250 Medical department, soouOn Tmnshortutlon, l.inoooo School superintendents, * 21 000 sites for schools and asylums, oo«i Telegraphing, 18 500 Where is the laborer in any of the nine counties of this Congressional district who, looking at these figures, which he has to help to pay, will vote for a man who approves the assessment of such luxation ? I call upon the farmers and the mechanics, and I call upon their wives and children to rise against such outrage and oppression. Shall the white man and the white women be slaves to the black man and the black woman ? Yet what less is the Freedmeu’s Bureau ? Congress is your master in the Inlerestof themegro, and makes you work for his maintenance, whether you are willing to do so or not. Ami this is the “strictest economy,” aa laid down in the Chicago platform, and carried out by a Radical Congress, and approved by the Radical candidates for ofilee in Indiana and throughout the United States. Tito rnlun oftlio Workingmen. Where, I ask, are these profligacies and plunders to end, unless you rise now and rebuke them? What limit is there to to this carnival waste and riotous' use of your money, unless 3*oo call the plunder ers to an account? Will you extend their license by your support of their policy? if so, you become the instru ments of your oppression, and can only ■reproach yourselves when your own pro perty is advertised and sold for taxes.— You are paying double what they once cost for all the necessaries of life. A high jroteetive tariff for the benefit of the Eastern capitalists makes you pay throe times their former price foi all you buy at the stores to clothe yourselves ami families. A few days since I saw a state ment made by a workingman, which was bo truthtul and just that I make the fol lowing extract. He says: “ For four days' work in 1859 I could buy a barrel of excellent Hour. For an equally good barrel now 1 have to work eight days. “For one days’work in 1559 1 could buy five pounds of tea. For the same days’ woik I can now buy but two pounds. “ For one days’ work then I could buy thirty pounds of sugar. For a days' work innv’f can get but fifteen pounds, “ For a days’ work in 1859 I could buy eight pounds of tobabco. For a days’ work now 1 can buy but three pounds.’ “ For a days’ work in 1859 I could buy fifteen pounds of coffee. For a days’ work now I can buy but five pounds. “ For one month's work in 1859 I could nearly or quite clothe myself and lamily a year. To do the same now lam oblig ed to work at least three months.” And such facta us these might be given Lo an almost unlimited extent, showing that the wages of the workingmen have not increased in proportion to prices and taxation. Yet where is the- “ strictest economy” that has been exercised in his behalf by the party in power? Do you find it in the collection of nearly five hun dred millions of dollars a year from the pockets of the people? Do* you find it in the establishment of a vast poorhouse for the able bodied negroes of the South, at tbe expense of at least fifty millions since the date of its creation by law ? Do you find it.in the keeping of a standing army for the purpose of enforcing negro suf frage at the point of the bayonet,-at a greater expense to you than any entire administration cost before the war? Do you find it in the support of a navy in idleness, which is costing you more Mian during the first year of the war, when we blockaded the entire Southern coast? Do you liud it in the purchase of “ rifled muskets,” with which to enable the mad dened and deluded negro to turn tbe South into a bloody and blazing Pande monium ? Have (lie Public tturdens been Cqnnltj and JuMily Imposed Upon Ally Now, if we have up to this point ob tained some clear Idea of the amount of our indebtedness and the objects on which the public revenues are lavished, and of the wholesale extravagance of the legislation and of the legislators of .the present period, Jet us next ascertain whether the duty of bearing these great burdens baa been equally andjustly im posed upon all. Haa the party in power created any privileged classes in this country by law? Is there anyone man in the United States who has to pay out of his substance more than any other one man, in proportion to his means, to meet the demands of the Government ? If so, then such enactments should be torn down, and the party that framed them condemned at the bal}ot-box. I’tlTlleged i'lnMe« Proofed by Radical E>cbU« latlou. I have already shown that the national debt is one-sixth of the entire possession of the whole people. But it will he said in answer that there is no danger of the one-sixth of your possessions being dis turbed or taken as we are simply paying interest on the debt and waiting fora bet ter day to pay the principal. Paying heavy interest is a dangerous experiment to individuals or nations. You are pay ing to the bondholder on our enormous dent an interest of six per cent, in gold. This is nearly ten per cent. In greenbacks. Hence you are paying the high rate of between nine and ten per cent, interest in such money as you have; for gold is not for the people, under Radi cal rule. Then if you can own a farm worth $lO,OOO, and it would take one- Hixth of it to pay your part of the national debt, will it not take even more than one (l Dcltl C’oiiMldrrrd. But there seems to be In tin* minds pf some an impression that there were some things connected with tbe original purchase of your bonds which make ail the moral equities in favor of ihe bolder. On the contrary, it is a well known lad. that, wbmi most of these bonds were put upon the market, fifty dollnis in gold, changed into cuneney, w an'd buy a hundred-dollar bond, which w n >w held at par over 3*mjr beads, and ; n which payment of principal ami is de manded in 'g«-ld. They weiv ihe gn-ui est. speculation of the age. If ih. na nny patriotism in their purcha-c, U was only invoked by bribes of million-.. Tbe bodies of men were drafted when they were needed for tbe war, and placed in front of the cannon; but the support of the money chargers was only to be ob tained by golden usury, whit-h now grinds the faces of Ihe poor. The origi nal cost of many of the bonds has already, by this time been paid oil by the amount of interest received ; and it will be but a short period until all that you pay upon them will be a clear speculation to the holder; will be giving something for nothing on your,part; will be a bounty, a pension paid by the toiling musses to the lords ot wealth and the favorites of the Radical legislation. Talk not to me about breaking contracts ; talk not to me of tbe superior sanctity of an obligation because it was made with one class of men, rather than with another. When the law which made gieenbacks a legal tender was enacted the whole country was full of contracts to be executed in gold. But ihe farmer or mechanic who had loaned his .gold to a neighbor, and taken that neighbor's note or bond for the repayment of gold, was informed that the legal-tender act broke his contract, and forced him to take currency, when ten thousand dollars In gold was worth twenty-five thousand in paper.* If a law of Congress can annul contracts between citizens, what respect can those citizens entertain for an alleged contracts between Congressand the bondholder? If Congress assumes to step between private parties and say that you shall take paper when your contract calls for gold, would it be at ail wonderful if the people should assum the same power in order to give one and the same kind of currency “ to the Gov ernment and the people, the laborer and the office-holder, the pensioner and the soldier, the producer and the bondhold er?” Let the public debt, then, princi pal and .interest, five twenties, seven thirties, ten-forties, and all be paid as fust as they fall due in the lawful mon ey of.the country. On this platform I stand before you to day, and if 1 avain enter Congn-s ns your representative I will support no financial plan wnieb gives to you one kind of money as a le gal lender, and to the bondholder am>i ti er and belter kind. Let this be under- Blood by all. I will not vote to give ihe rich man bre-ui, and the poor unm a atone. Jefferson’s motto shall be mine ; “ Equal and exact justice to all men.and exclusive privileges to none.” If lire workingmen of this district approve my position on this point, X can only pledge them in return for their support, that if elected, it shall be faithfully carried out with whatever ability I possess.

Yet the man wliohe wealth is in bonds, on which lie collects from you all, inun the crip pled soldier and the widowed mother, six per cent, in gold, is especially, by of Congress, exempted from taxation.
