EA-congressman Julian addressed the lii
beras OF indianapolis on the ! 9Th instapt.-
Ela said of the dcfunct Radical party
Political parties are not Immortal, although
Senator Morton and some of his friends. seem
to believe it. Political parties have. their
time to be born and their appointed lime to
die They grow ur out Of certain political
,exigencies, and when the exfgency passes a.
way the party itself is compelled to get out
ofsight The old. Federal party had its work
to do, aud when # did It, it died it was bu-
ried. The old Wing party had its day and
although it did it reluctantly. it died also,
and passed out Of ,life.- TIE know-nothing
party had its day-thank the Lord it was a
short day Iaughter) -anda very dark day
and it also died and went to its final account.
The Republican party, born out Of the. ext
gency Of slavery ia the national Territories.
created with specials reference to that, has
habits days and~its tina for final reckoning
has come. Applause, and shouts Of approha..
ton, renewed after having once almost died
away It's work is done, and it can 7 be nn
done forever This party, 'to-day-deoy and
deprecate it as, you may-this party is
as dead as the bones Of Ezekiel. Tap
plause.} III the very. nature Of things
I it is so and I was astonishcd that SO wise
man as Charles Sumner should say in his
late speech in the United States Senate
that he hoped and believed that the Re
publican party. having done its work, wauld
take. hold of other grand and vital questions,
and deal with them and then take up 9th
ers, and 50 pernetuate ITS life rrfp''ssuse =
Why, my friends, in the very nature of things
that was but the dream of phiianthropist
and not the judgement of a statesman. Let
me make myself understood now. From the
fact.that the Republican party was organized
| to deal with one specific question it had all
its education and training directed TO that
one single thing, and was constantly absorbed
in that single work-it became disqualified
and unfit to lead in anything else. Other
parties have to be formed to meet new and
living issues aud deal witt. new and living is
sues that are to command the attention Of the
people of this country. You can't apply an
old party like a piece Of machinery, to new.
Job. It never will be done. I accept that
as the logic Of politics which compels us as
honest men to confess that the Republican
party, honorable as 1t has been, useful as it
has been, has done its work, and must now
give place to other organizations. Cheers.]
