George Washington Julian.
| "oNCE MORE TO THE RESCUE
We have been SO often charged with be
ing governed by personal vindictivenes S, in
our attacks on Julian. and although as often
we have replied to such insinuaiions, we
are induced to issue this our pronuncia
mento" for the last time-hop ng that {" i,

the personal, we hope it will not CRATE
harshly on the ear Of DR.. Z" Eliphaz"-the

or even the tender suditories of the i" Fair

If we should, incidentally remark, that
when we attack Julian,
"Mongrel puppy whelp and hound,
And cur oil low degree
Are all let loose upon us. That when we
presume to expose him and his indefensible

that when he takes snuff, all his followers

to remark, that unless he can do all the
braying, he won't be a jackass at all-that
unless he can have all the bells on him, he
won't be sheep at all we say, we trust
all his blind dupes and followers will con-
cede something TO our weakness some
trife to the frailty of humanity
We will endeavor to give our objections
to Julian-our reasons. why We cannot and
lciH not support him. in plain. unvarnish ed
language-in phraseology free from sophis-
try--in terms that even DR.. Eliphaz-the
weak. the sensitive, the moral, the upright,
the religious Eliphaz, cannot object to-
Mr.. E. who can see SO clearly the mote in
the Palladium editors eye, but TO the
beams in those OF the Axe editors and of
Julian. he is blind as a bat e, who can
sing hosannas to the refined scurriiity of
Julian-E, who can repose in the calm
hypocritical Inconsistency Of his nature
when his own model newspapers TEEN with
low flung. illusions. petty malice. and per-
sonal lying attacks on their adversaries !
But let g Ben Davis say aught that does
not square with the notions Of the Julian
pack, whew what breeze personal at

leper." "corrupter of public MORALS" DC.
&c, in fine, all the low billingsgate of the
vocabulary is called into requisition, and
the "caterwaulings of Paudemouium" are
let loose on our devoted head And yet,
according to DR.. Els code of conducting a
controversy, this course is legitimate, hon
orable, high minded. heightened, gentle
manly We say, down upon such per-
version of terms-such arrant, hypocritical
nonsense. Why. one might almost suppose
that some of the great Julian hangers on,

Mr.. J. is glib in the use of low, scurrilous
vindictive language, learned and conned

slavery thinking to make his blind adhe-

does not run that way.
We now propose examining the most re-
cent record of Mr.. Julian. On page z,

the House Of Representatives,. January IA,
