The disunion newspaper, printed in this
city, says Mr.. Julian, when he spoke in Bah.
cocks Hall, did not hold the republican par.
ty responsible for his views on the negro
equality question. If this was true here il
was not in Mercer. Mr.. Ungles, veteran
soldier, who heard his speech in Keiths bursh
writes en- article, which will be found in this
paper, over his own signature, in which he
says Julian claimed TO be leade. of the re-
publican party, and that the others follow
after him. And the Mercer COUNTY Fress
says:
He proclaimed boldly the principles of his
party, and castigated his week kneed breth-
rem, who deny them, most soundly. He said
he had no respect for republicans who. while
they knew their party was for the equslity of
all men, no matter what their color. and
were willing to aid and assist in accomplish
Ing this great object, and would vote all
right, were yet ashamed to avow it. and so
would go around denying their principles
talking one way and voting and acting an
other.
He also declared that as for himself hs
was not ashamed 10 declare and stand IN to
his principles, and that 4. G. Harding was
his personal and political friend, and as their
principles were Identical, he wanted him re-
elected, so that he might have the benefit of
his backing IN congress next winter.

the entire praise.
Some OF the radicals deny that Mr.. Julian
