Nix. EDITOR: Gen. Meredith al
dressed quite a number Of the citi-
zcns of Green sfork township on the
18th inst, at Spartanburg.
\ portion OF his speech was very
good. He eXhorted the people to
stand firm in the support ofthe Gov
ernmcnt ana the present Admins
tration, and uphold and sustain the
soldiers in The field, who are battling
for freedom and the pcrpctuity OF
Republican institutions. All this
met the appreciation OF every loyal
citizen-every true patriot.
But his abuse of Mr.. Julian was
bitter and uncalled for.
lie placed Julian and his support
ers in the same category with Cop
pcrheads denounced them as aeita-
tors and disturbers of the peace, and
declared we would never have peace
in the Fifth District till the whole
Julion fraternity are e1terminofed.-
Now, we have not word TO say
against the patriotism of the Cen
eral. We would not, if we could,
pluck a single laurel from his brow.
lie has nobly rallied to his country S
standard, aud fought bravely in de
fence of the old flag. But patriot
ism does not centre in his bosom
alone. There are others rs patriotic
as he who arc laboring as hard in
their line of duty, while he is de-
nouncing them rs agitotors, disturb
ers of the peace, and fit subjects for
determination. Mr.. Julian to- day
is doing his duty in Congress, as the
peoples servant. He is now con-
tending for the same great princi-
pies Which he advocated when they
were unpopular He has stood firm
and immovable on the platform OF
Justice and Right, and braved the
tempest and the storm, in the dark
est hour OF our country's history
and he now asks the people to re
elect him to Congress, and they acit
dot.
Gen Meredith has won laurels Oh
the field at the head of the Iron
Brigade. His countrymcn have APP
plauded him, and bis fame has gone
abroad; yea, across the mighty deep
and received The appreciation and
compliments of the crowned heads
OF Europe. In the midst of thi.
career of glory and renown, dit,
calls him from tie tsated feld to rage {
rar 81 determination against tie Jrlia,
men Of the FyM District. When b,
shall have accomplished this grea1
task, then indeed shall his name b,
heralded from continent to continent
and even to the isles of the sea, anC
be handed down to posterity to til,
remotest time.

MOB TERRORISM.

The Richmond Tcllgram ia eff
feet recommends that the papers
which are Tor Julian should be
mobbed. He declares that such
from copperhead pa
per, as are made by the Julian pa
pers would insure the destruction
of it, and type and presses by ,'o-
lence. Sol has come TO this, that
because we oppose the nomination
OF Brigadief-G General Sol. Meredith
for Congress as injudlcious and UNI
wise, and favor that OF a man
whose patriotism, loyalty and abil-
itv are 50 we'll tried and so thor
ough!y known that even hs bitter
est assailants dare not attack them,
except by the ulterance OF lie most
malignant talsehood:, we should be
mobbed. Hull, B!ckle, Ben Da-
Wis and the Telegram must dictate
to us, aad ii we refuse to bow TO
their dictation, then we ought TO
be mobbed. BIZ the same process
of reasoning, all papers that OPP
posed Mcclellan ought to be mob
bed. because Mcclellan was in The
army. But we have yet to learn
that Mr.. Julian or any oil his friends
have assailed Sol. Mcredth's 10y
atty. We have yet to learn mat
thew have ever assailed the soldiers
of the Union. We have yet to
learn that they have declared that
1Aose who do not vote Tor Julian
are enemies of their country. We
have yet to learn that they have
ever counseled mob violence
against the papers that support
General Meredith. But with one
accord they have declared that il
Meredith should prove to be the
choice of the Union men of the
District, thea will they enter heart.
Randolph County journal. [volume] (Winchester, Indiana) 1864-1865, 1864-04-01

We have from the beginning of
the canvass in this Congressional
District declared our intention to
support Gen. Meredith for Congress
if he shall be nominated by the
Union men OF the District, at
the April election. We DO not be-
lieve he is the best man for that
position nor that he can properly
represent the intelligence and radi-
calism Of the people of this Dis
trict, but if majority of the Union
men prefer him, we shall certainly
not only acquiese in their choice,
but shall actively labor that the
peoples will may be carried out by
Gen. Meredlth's election next fall.
And during the canvass we have
said nothing as our readers are we'll
aware which would make it impos-
slble or inconsistent for us thus to
support him If he should he nomin-
ated. All We wish is that there
shall be a fair chance all over the
District for the expression of the
peoples will; that the nominating
election shall b. conducted in the
ordinary way, that only those who
will pledge themselves to support
the ticket shall be permitted to help
make it.
Gen Meredith has threatened us
in a low and cowasdly manner
with fearful consequences if we
did not cease cur opposition to hi:
claims, he has tried TO incIte mol
violence all over the District anC
has suggested the destruction o
every printing Office that does no
recognize his 'claims," but W,
have said nothing in reply to al
this which any person can consid
er undignihed or unworthy of
gentleman.
The truth is, We cannot a.ior,
TO handy bar-room vulgari,ies ever
with oae so distinguished as a sol
der and gentleman as is Gen Mer
edith. The General would hav,
done much better for himself if h,
had KEEP: his temper, and had useo
a little OF the dignity that al office
In the United States Army ough
to possess. while engaged in tht
canvass OF the District. But ever,
time he addressed tie people l.;
worked himself into passion, ant
threatened to whip somebody.

VOTING A DUTY.

Ii is important that each voter
ask himself, "what is my duty to
my country and God, as a LOYAL
man % before he casts his vote ON
next monday. And it is more i'm
portant that the proper answer be
ascertained and represented by the
ballot deposited. Among the many
defects of our American education
none is so apparent as that we have
not been taught the duty and ne
cessity OF voting.

But such unutterably mean and
despicabie appliances as are made
use OF In favor of Meredith were
entirely unlocked for, end will
sooner or later sink their authors so
deep in contempt and infamv, that
the hand OF political resurrection
can nevet reach them.
The terrorism of the mob is now
called in by the Meredith men to
silence those who prefer the nomi-
nation OF another man for Con
gress.
Let all the people remember this,
and if they are especially fearful OF
being mobbei, we presume they
must vote for Meredith. Vote as
you please, but the man who
votes against me shall be shot, said
the tyrant Napoleon to his army.
Those who are not for Meredith,

Mr.. Norton is one Of the Edi-

New England Loyal Publication
Society, and by his culture and
ability Joined to intense devotion
to the national cause, has rendered
most efficient aid in sustaining the

to the reelection Of Mr.. Julian TO

Julian. His comprehension of the
true nature of our institutions. his

Liberty, ought tn stimulate the
