The Richmond palladium. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1855-1875, 1872-07-27
HON. GEO. w. JULIAN.

This ind ividuAl of whom our readers have
heard of in times past through our columns,
was IN our city Thursday night, and re.
peated the same little piece, that he deliver
ed at Indianapolis, to good audience, (two.
thirds Of whom were for Grant, at Lyceum
Hall. He has been appointed one of the
Electors ALTA rye Oh the Democratic ticket
aud his health, of course, is much improved
the gall and bitterness that has clogged the
avenues to his brain and heart, are gradually
being worked off. During the progress of his
speech Whenever be spoke the name of either
Grant or Wilson, the audience cheered, and.
when he emitted the concentrated venom be
has stored in his tissues against Senator
Morton, storm of Kisses, poured into his,
ear, indica Ting to him that he was enacting
the role of dirty dog. BE lied emphatically
when he said that Senator Morton, in his
Starr-Hall speech, took strong grounds
against negro suffrage. In that speech Mr..
J. knows that Morton favored a qualified
suffrage for the colored m an-making educa-
ton as a basis. He honestly entertained that
idea, then; but when indiscriminatc suffrage
was found to be the only method for the pro-
lection of the rights of colored men, he was
the first to say Amen, to it, and assist them in
obtaining it. His GOODNESS in telling the
Democrats that they couldn't do anything
else-they were forced to come over in body
to him and his liberal Republicans, was truly
| refreshing!
In nasticating his dish of crow, he made
terrible contortions of countenance, if not
conscience, and gave great praise TO the Dem
ocrats for assisting in putting down the re-
bfllion. Here is the way he talked about
Democrats, in his speech of 1868:
Democratic policy not only gave birth to
| the rebellion, but Democrats, and only Demo-
Gratis, are in arms against their country. DEM
| Ocrats fired en- its flag at Fort Sumter. JEFF.
| ferson Davis is Democrat, and so is every
| 0odforsaken rebel at his heels. A Demo-
cratic administration wos III power " hen the
rebellion first lifted its head. A Democratic
President. vic could have nipped it in the
bud, allowed cur navy to be sent to distant
| seas, our fortresses to be occupied our al SEN
ais and navy yards to be seized, and our arms
and munitions to be stolen. Democrats
| ciutched the Treasury of the Government I'D
robbed it OF its Indian Bonds. The distn.
guiahed there's and 'Cut-throats who are
known as the leaders OF the rebellion, such as
Floyd. Thompson, Yancey, and Cobb, are all
Democrats. Not only is it true that rebels
are Democrats, but so are rebel sympathisers,
| whether in the North or in the South. On
the other hand the Republican Party. SO far
as l can learn, has not furnished q single re-
cruit to the ranks.os the rebellion. Loyalty
and Republicsnism 60 hand in hand through
out ths Union, as perfectly As treason aud
slavery.
In the light OF these pregnant Facts, Mr.
Chairman, We find no occasion for new par
ty. What we should work and pray for, il
the success of our principles, and this can
only be secured by steadfastness of purpose
and associated political action. We need
something Of permanence in our movements
stunning that fickleness and instability that
won form a new party, with a new name
for every campaign, and thus fritter away our
strength in the fickleness of our schemes, in
stead Of outstanding it Tor effective service
Republication is not like garment, to be put
on or laid aside for our own convenience, bu,
an enduring principle, which can never be-
abandoned without faithlessness to the coun
try. II is no. . succession OF 'dissolving
views brought on the political stage, to
amuse conservative gentlemen, or to da zzle O,
bewilder the people, but the fixed star which
should guide us through the shifting phases
Of American politics. Speeches on
Political Questions, page 1876.
