OF the Loo omotve will startle the people
upon the whole line.
"Getfing Desperate. Under this
head Bro. Vale has a long article. with a
certificate, to prove shat Mr.. Parker's
"cowardly fears" makes him "afraid to
meet Mr. Julian on fair TERMS" in discus
sion. The editorial assertions contained
in the article referred TO, are not sustain
ed by the certificate. and consequently
the public will not believe them as having
any founda alton in truth We simply wish
to refer to the certifc ate, which is signed
by several gentlemen who we highly re-
spect for their integrity. Ii is charged by
Mr.. Parker and his friends. and admitted
by Mr.. Julian and his friends, that at
knightstown, in public meeting and in
the presence Of a large audience. that Mr..
Parker made the following propositions to
Mr.. Julian. in respect to the manner Of
conducting the Congressional canvass:
"Frst-that they would both 60 home
and make no more speeches until the
election. .Second--There being five
weeks until the election, one Of them mi ght
have weeks Of that time to make his
appointment, and the other two, and the
Saturday Immediately preceding the cleo
ton. each one giving the other five days
notice of his appointments. and to open
nd o1n al to1, f,r
Mr.. Julian. say "the first proposition
Julian refused to accept, but distinctly
stated as far as he was concerned. he
would accept the latter, but must consul.
his friends before he could come TO a GER
tain conclusion, Of which he would notify
Mr. Parker-"- the first proposition
there is no controversy. As TO the second,
it is charged by Mr.. Parker and his friends
that Juliar. did accept and then backed
out. What do these 40 cer,itiers say2
Their language is: Julian distinctly stated
that so far as he was concerned he would
accept it, lie was the only person "con-
cerned' and we suppose is fully author
lied to act fer himself: bat even admit
ting the pro,iso, that he must see his
friends. do our 40 certifying friends, say
that Julian did not subsequently back out.
Not one word of it, They say Julian,
for himself did accept, but must consult
his friends. Did those friends instruct
George in the truth Of the old maxim that
"discreton is the better part Of valor."
and advise him to go il on his own hook.
The fair inference is, that George did
accept. and his friends-his guardian
commi,,ee-backed out for him. The
"certlfiers" virtually admit that George
did back Out, and Bro Vale, good,
honest soul. admits the whole charge
made by Mr.. Parke. and his friends.
He says: "Mr Julian the next morning
informed Mr.. P. that he would accept his
proposition. if he rould except from the
arrangement, the portions Of Wayne
county which he had already canvassed"
There it is. a full acknowledgement Of the
charge. The portions Of Wayne county
where Julian had been making his mis-
and SANDERS upon the
Wing party. may have been the very
nj aoo> .L>A a. -~>>s A.
Julian. Reckless and INSCRIPTIONS men
generally embrace the opportunity offered
in the absence Of their opponents 10 in
dulge in wholesale misrepresentation, not
to use harsher term. and this may have
been the reason that Mr. Julian did not
wish to meet Mr.. Parker, where he had
been making speeches without any one
present to contradict or correc, him. The
of Mr.. Parker was plain and
definite. and required as an answer, a
simple yes or no! He did accept, and
next morning backed out. unless an i'm |
portani proviso, were inserted George
can divide the responsibility Of this course
with his friends. if he sees proper to do /
so-the whole charge of Mr. Parker is
by Julian's own witnesses and
friends. and they can dispose of i, as they
see proper.
