A reconstruction speech against Republican policies that would assure Negroes and loyal whites the right to vote in the rebel States. An excerpt from a speech by Voorhees of Indiana, for the amendment proposal to H. R. No. 2634, "Some justification might be found for legislation of this kind at one time in the south-none to my mind; some to yours. But how any sane man can justify the invasion of every township, of every city, of every village, of every hamlet in all the States of this broad land, north and south, east and west, from one ocean to the other, by Federal power, for the purpose of striking at the freedom of the ballot-box, is a mystery I cannot solve.".
