The Richmond palladium. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1855-1875, 1870-07-02
From the Radical of May 10. |
A MEDICATION.
After publishing Mr.. Yaryan's article, th


editor of the Radical, proceeds to vindicate
his brother q. W. JuIian) as follows:
1--WE propose to notice few points in order
to show how plain tale will put down this
iucarnlte imp of darkness, both literally and
metaphorically speaking
The assumed classical quotation with which
he sets out he is the literary IS we'll as clas-
steal man who not long since spoke of the
Plays of 'Richelieu, by Bulwer, and Jack
Cade, by Judge Conrad, of Philadelphia,
part of the works ot Shakespeare, is IN truth
not inapplcable to Mr.. Julian, if that is what
he intended; while toe homcly proverb about
coming out OF the little end of the horn,
would much better fit his own case.
1t was hoped that after the late nomination
and the withdrawal of Mr.. Julian, which even
they generally admit ives handsomely done,)
his enemies might he willing TO let him rest.
But not so of the wing represented by 1aryan.
Even so perfectly fair, truthful, and honorable
a paper Julian's letter of withdrawal, ex-
cites in Honest John antipathies and spasnis
kindred to those which distract the canine
tribe, when under the iHfuencn of hydr pao-
ba, at the sight of simple water. Under this
influence he brands talsehoodS two of the
b,st known truths of Mr.. Jaian's letter and
blackguards him generally. Let US notice
these charges. There is hardly the semblance
of truth in them from beginning to end. Not
only IS the main charge, that of boiling, afro
ciously false, but all the details re erroneous.
Mr.. Julian was not a candidate al Ill in 1876.
In 1S47 ne was, and when beaten for the nom
ination by Holloway, be supper ted him and
the entire ticket and worked for it. ba lder
fslsehood than that to the contrary never was
uttered. There was no free soil party till AS,
and Mr.. Julian continued to act with the hg
party up to the nomination Of Gen. Taylor,
that year, when he left it simply aud solely
on account Of his Anti-Slavery conyictions.-
The more common charge is that he bolted
when he became a candidate for Congress
against Mr.. Parker, in 1849 but TINT also falls
to the ground. when ii is recolected that he
had left the Wing partT some fifteen months
pr, vious, nominated by .be Free Soil
PARTY and of coarse owed no sort of allegiance
10 the Wings. But charges against him of
boiling in this connection have been so often
and SO clearly proven false, that no honest
man will continue to repeat them; and even
Iaryau did not deem it expedient to do so
As to the support given Mr.. Julian by Reid
and many other Democr ats, ii was entirely
voluntary on their part and without any con-
cession OF principle on the part of Mr.. j., as
rnsinuated by Mr.. 1aryan.
Passing over his continued bungIins, as
where he says that Judge Reid has always been
true to his party, yet in the next breath says
he became a thorough going disciple If Jniian
the Free Soier, his statement that Juiians
second race with Parker in 1852, (the
year Julian was a candidate for Vice P'esi-
| dent on the ticket with Hale, instead of 1851,
&C. we come 20 Yaryan's further charges of
| boiling in the Republican party against Mr..
| Julian. Here again e blunders as to dates,
! the fusion State Convention to which he re-
| fers having come off in IS54 Nor did Mr.. J.
! withdraw from the Convention as stated, but
! as member of it he insisted on its asserting
! the cardinal PRINCIPLES of the Free s'oilers,
/ while such men laryan bitterly opposed
! this. and as the most conclusive ans TO
| this charge of boiling against the Republican
| party at the time referred to, let it not be for
| gotten that up to 1886 there was no Republic
trndfn fia1t tia fTST ,t,I
Know Nothing movements which Doe sway
| up to that time, directly repudiateJ the prin
| ciples and even the name Republican, that
hence they voted down in their State and 9th
| err Conventions resolutions offered By Mr.. J
| which would have comm tied them to the sup
| port of the free soil and anii-slavery princi-
! PIES which were adopted the organization
! of the party in 80: that OF course Mr.. Julian.
| s8hering to the principles on which he had
| left the Wing party, could not fellowship this
! fusion party, but lsborod to bring it on the
! right ground but that from the organization
| of the National Republican party at Pittsburg
| carly in 1856, (of which he one of the
| founders principles which lie could up-
| prove, be was cordially with il and its nom
| nations, and has continued to be to the pres
| ent day. 1t is true that III this State, early
1 in 1856, he opposed the State ticket on ac
| count Of its mixing in with knownothingism,
! but after the nomination of Fremont on
| straight out Republican platform, and the
ed aud voted for the ticket. Thus his decla-
1 ration which Yaryan attempts to refute is
| triumphanllv INDICATED, viz:
al have at all times, and under all circum-
! stances supported the nominees of my party,
/ first as a Wing, then Free Soiler, and
| finally Republican,
| (Apropos right here of this matter Of bolt
| ing, we cannot refrain from just referring, in
passing, to tie memorable occasion in 1854
| when Sol Meredith nd other leading conser-
I SIN OIL L,N1t Tod
/ Wing county nomination, fairly made, but &C
! tually made on and superseded the ticket
nominate by another nomination a month or
! two later. under the auspices of knownoth-
| ingism, the conspirat0rs themselves taking
| the chief places on the last ticket. Yet this
| shameless crew have the effrontery to falsely
| charge others with their own fragrant sius.)
Honest John then turns to Mr.. Julian's
othar declaration, viz:
The opposition to me by Republicans has
been far more fierce aud violent than | have
ever witnessed against the common foe
| faryan says he wishes to revive these state
| ments sin spirit of fray kness and candor. ,
And we must say he displays more frankhess
! and candor in his treatment of the latter tn an
| the former. He in fact not only admits its
! truth, but obliginely goes on 10 demon stra tie
! it. His removal from the Assessorsbp in
1865 is here revealed as the sore point which
| dwells In his memory and renders him so
! per ectly rabd and implac BILE. That, and
/
| ais the poor creature. He frankly and can
| didly lets the cat out of the wallet. He lost
| his coveted bread and butter, his little brief
! authority, his cavalry boots With which he
proposed to walk over the necks of pros
trate though disguised constituency. He chal-
| leuged the Government to splace him by Of
/ ficial misco nduct-f ell-bla med an NJ C., and
has been running a muck for vengeance ever
since. That is the whole story.
| Yaryan, we said, was rather frank here;
! swhOnnprS'
instance few. Mr.. Julian made no opposi-
! ton TO his appointment, in fact
Here we picked up the Radical of to-day
| Thursday, June 39th, J and read the following
! article:
