mirror before their face, SO they might
see that this is Just what they are doing
with tile present member Of Congress from
this District.
TO those Of MS who have known Hon.
G.. w. Julian for years, and are familiar
with his INTEGRITY, his true devotion TO the
best interests Of the country, in every
sense Of the word, "the ISLANDERS of an
e%nvious stay at home public" will make
no difference. W. know that their accu-
satiOrs from week 10 week, which they
serve up to their readers, are not true -
W. bnvr .r...t.I A. It1tar lrrfwv Tho
present term Of Congress, we know that
he has been devotedly serving bis country
now in her hour Of peril and We know
that he has not betrayed the trust his con
stituents reposed in him, when We sent
him TO aid the councils OF the nation III
the great struggle between liberty and
slavery. And we rejoice that in every
instance his vote has been in favor of free
dom; and he has labOred side by side with
the Executive for the suppression Of this
unholy rebellion.
Although "some persons ~misrepresent
facts TO the public at home, simply for po-
ltical purposes, TO carry Il their own
private ends" yet pesterity will DO him
Justice, history will record him as being
one of the first men who had the moral
courage 20 declare in his seat in Congress,
that slavery was the cause of the REBEL
ion, and If the Government would put
down the rebellion il must nut down sla-
very This fact is now becoming apparent
TO Congress and the Government, as ex-
pressed IL the abolition of slavery in the
District of Columbia, and in the deep un-
der current that pervades the Presidents
modification OF Gen. Hunters proclama-
ton. IL il very evident TO the umprejndi-
ced observer that those who guide the
helm OF the Government, are becoming
aware that slavery is the cank or worm
that is gnawing at the vitals OF our ma
tional existence; and they are acting with
a view TO ia extinction AS speedily ~ is
consistent with the nature Of the Govern
ment.
Hon. G. W. Julian has been n dilieent
and oficieutmember of the "CommittCe
OH the conduct Of the War !" he has had
ample opportunity to acquaint himself
with the causes which led to 70. and also
the best means to be used for the ~rest1ra-
ton Of peace, SO desirable TO every patr.-
Otto heart in the land. For u is, az well
"a other reasons, every friend Of Freedom
ought 20 rive him their vote again, as an
appreciation OF what he will 10 in the fu-
ture. We can tr st our interests 20 his
keeping more safely than one who haa net
had his experience. He has no opportu.
nifty 20 electioneer for himself, and l hope
his friends will do their duty.
