Viewing the action of the caucus. held at
Cen,ervilIe on Saturday last. 10 every pos
sible light, we arrive at no other conclusion
than that its action is without binding force,
and IS completely and entirely fareieal as
any thing of so public character that has
ever before been tried to be palmed off on the
people as official. 1t purporis to be the
"Repu6lican Committee" and yet ignores
party action!

Georges peculiar friends thought that the
ides of April would be the day of his sal
vation-and, if he could thus obtain the
vote of Wayne County, it would give him
an advantage over any other man that could
be brought out against him in other parts
of the District, and would go far to secure
his re -nomin alton; hence their urgency Of
bringing on the Congressional nomination

of the Republican party. together with other
Union men, and all W no are in favor of a
vigorous prosecution of the war; will de-

it. We believe we know the feelings of the
People Of Old Wayne sufficiently to pre-

is to be carried out, that any man. We care

and he ought to be, if he has SO little of the
spirit of right and justice. as to place his
prospects at the disposal of a miserable
clique, that is guided and controlled by
the most arrant demsgogue that ever cursed
Wayne County. and who is again intriguing
and pulling party wires, in order that he
may continue representing the Peo-
pie of the noac Burnt District" in Con-

We opposed the Inauguration Of the fell

Of the Democracy. and for similar reasons
shall oppose the behests of the Julian clique
and its ukase. 1t seeks TO ignore party in
voting for the selection Of candidates in
viting all parties to participate therein; but
was unwilling to call the People together.
and let them determine that matter for them
selves; and we can see only one reason gov
erniug its action aud that is-the plans and
specifications were laid and made out for
the benefit of George Washington Julian,
and the election mast take place in April,
before another candidate could have time to
canvas the county against him, or the con-
tract would be null and void.
If the clique persist in its determination
to forestall public opinion. our advice is to
let those who have htched themselves to
the car of George Washington Julian, and
are trying to galvanize his political corpse,
go 1T ALONE" The PEOPLE will
have nothing to do with it.

the Secretary:
