CRAwFoRDsvILLE. July 9Th, 1851.
DEAR Sir: received your note cal.
ling my attention to the following para
graph in the Estate Seniinel:'
LAND REFORM
George w. Julian is making speeches
ir favor ofland reform. This reminds us
Of an incident. During the last session
Of Congress. Andrew Johnson, Of Ten.
nessee. introduced bill to provide land
for the landless. 1t was his favorite hob
by. He succeeded in obtaining a two
thirds vote in favor Of making it the spe-
cial order, and was in high hopes Of its
passage. When it came up Julian got
the floor. and made a speech in favor of
il. During the delivery Of this speech il
was painful to behold the writings and
contor,ions Of Johnson's countenance--
We stepped round TO console him. but he
refused to be comforted. what is the
matter. Andv' we inquired. 'Marer!--
your id abolitioniss has killed the
bill dead as h--ll.' Sure enough. Julian
sat down, and the bill for land reform as
stretched on the table a cold and lifeless
thing"
In reply | will say that was present
in the House Of Representatives at the
time Mr.. Julian made his speech on the
land reform bill, known as Johnson's Bill.
and distinctly remember to have heard
Mr.. Johnson express 10 members around
him great modification and chagrin a: the
advocacy given to the measure by Mr.
Julian. The article above | believe SUBJ
gives the facts as they occurred.
Respectfully yours.

Now. we wish to inquire Of the candid
voters Of this District what benefit can
result, to them from sending such a men,
her of Conaress Ia Washington. a. Julian
admits himself to be! Could he secure
for you any Legislation you might wish!
We ask our free soil friends. who are so
and conscientiously DESTROYS for
the amendment OF the Fugitive Slave
Law, what amount Of influence can Ju
Ian have in securing the object you de-
sire. Think Of these things and answer
for yourselves.
Legislation is but another name for ne
yoti alton. Men of business in all the va
red departments Of public and private
life, only succeed by the liberality oftheir
urbaniiy Of their conduct,
and the respect with which they treat
