Julian S Letter Again.

you some time since, relative TO
that paragraph Of George W. Ju-
lian's letter to the Congressional
Convention, in which he boosted of
| his fidelity to party, and complain
ed of others for the want of it, /
did not intend 10 throw Isaac into
fits, or suspect it would bring down
on my head an exhaustive string Of
personal epithets from the slang
dictionary Of George. | o.ly in
tended to show the young class
of voters, ald remind the old err,
that George, i'll his political exit,
could not cave without giving i
dying kick at some Of US for doing
that. the like of which he himself
had conn;ved at and been guilty Of,
for II re than twenty years.
But so it is. that he has gone in
to fits, real dog fits, there is no
mistake. In lis spasms be has
thrown himself on his launches
and gone to 'yawling Yes, that's
the name, which he says means to
cry out like dog and is the best
definition of himself that | have
ever heard. He has spent much
Of his cry and dates TO keep facts
in the back ground. What wrt tie,
was written from recollection only:
n.l fo Is I
find l was in error as to several
dates. For instance, it was in At,
instead of AZ, George ran against
Mr.. Holloway for the State Senate
as a Wing /; and being defeated,
bolted, opposed the ticket, and
went over to the Liberty party,
and not Free Sellers, IS / stated.
l also admit it was in 81 he ran
against Mr., Parker second time
and was beat. Whether the State
Convention was III 81 or SIS, Isaac,
perhaps, recollects better than l
do, from the fact that it was the
year he was assistant editor and
corresponds OF the Jetfersonian,
to show his fidelity 20 party, and
George attended the Convention,
participated in If, and when his
dogmas were voted down, as they
we're, left and abused it, ought not
to be denied by any one who even
has as little regard for truth as
Isaac has. He, however says, Mr..
Julian did not withdraw from the
7 Ctst ri {1,,
member of l., insisted on its
adopting the cardinal principles of
the Free Soilers' | care not how
lie left. [ he question is fidelity
10 party. Was he m ember of
the convention Did he part,ci-
pate in its deliberations? and did he
abide by its nominees T? He Ger
talniy did not, but opposed the
whole ticket and Isaac helped
using the Jeifersonian as his artil-
lery of warfare The difference
between US then, is this : George,
and Isaac of course, opposed the
whole anti Democratic ticket we.
the subjects OF complaint, opposed
single nominee, thrust upon us
sons satisfactory to ourselves, that
we could not vote FOR him.
AS to The date OF Georges mix
with tue Democrats, we agree that
was Ia 1919. But Isaac says, that
the support given Mr.. Julian on
that occasion ny Judge Reid and
other Democrats, was entirely vol
untary on their part, and without
any concessions OF principle on
the part Of Mr.. j. Well, THAT de
ponds some on what his principles
J were The Democrats we're an old
and well organized party, with
well defined principles, and the
common adversary of both th=
Wing and Free Soil party. George
| claimed to have left the Wings
and had joined til Free Sellers
l. is susceptible of proof and has
often been shown that he and the
, leaders Of The Democratic party
ent red into an alliance, Oh to
J help the other to break down and
t defeat the Wing party, which was
7 and ever had been the purest Ma
Giouil duEi lG.- ny the aDfCSl

words are beyond reproach, som e
of them now livilg in the vicinity
Of Richmond, who were members
T. Of an official Democratic mee:in z
!, of Union county, at Dunlapsville,
!, iii which this utilization question
e was considered. Some of the old

Directing to the mix, Judge Reid,
S on behalf of Mr. Julian, took the
S floor, told the meeting he knew
Mr.. Julian 8 sentiments, that he
was as good q Democrat as he
wanted, that he was with them on
: a the issues of the day, except
that Of slavery; and that it they
: expected to form a union to brea
: down the Wing ticket, they must
. take Mr.. Julian with his abolition
) notions. And we thought, said my
| informants, that 4 man wlo was q
good enough Democrat for Judge
; Reid, was good enough for US, and
; agreed to 90 for him il he would
help US.
. Ii the support given Mr.. Julian
: by the Democrats was without q
