mond. Ind, containing . good deal of sup.
pressed truth. Now, what are the facts
1t was understood in Henry county. Ind.
that Julian and his friends ignored the "Un-
ion" movement; repudiated all honest ef-
forts to combine all parties in the one grand
Union organization. Irrespective Of party is
sues. till this uuholy rebellion should be
crushed. that he and his fri snds were bent
On rule or ruin; hence many OF the cppo-

Committee
This state of things may be peculiarly
gratifying" to the blind adherents of the
great .'disorganizer." to those who would
rather see him falsely honored. than the
best interests of their country advanced
But TO the honest patriot il can not be SO
gratifying.
A word in relation to the vote Of Wayne
and Randolph counties. in April last:
This election. SO far as Julian is concern
ed, was ordered by Republican commit
tee--a committee and . party that all good.

Indignantly repudiate till the work on hand.
the great rebellion shall be settled.
In Wayne county there were upwards of
$500 votes polled. The tickets were all
headed G. w. Julian. If the writes has not
been msinformed Mr.. Julian got i,52S
votes CD Upwards of 700 had the hon gen.
tleman's name deliberately and purposely
erased, for the plain reason that the people
did not want partizan candidate for Con-
gress. Under these circumstances. for Mr.
J.'s friends to claim Wayne county for him,
may be peculiarly gratifying" to them.
bat the idea is extremely refreshing to all
honest, unprej adiced persons.
As to the comfort be and his friends ex.
pent to get from he votes of Union. Fayette
sni Delaware. "beyond precedent" we will
know better when the thing shall have been
done.
The writer of this personally and to q Ger.
tainty knows, that Mr.. J. lost many votes
BY his war (?) speech at Centerville--his
residence--his Gr.t speech, perhaps. after
his return from Congress. His war speech.

speaks denunciatory Of all. of everything
that don't ring of his praise-that don't con-
