An Old Commoner.

Julian is to-day one of the grandest men of the age, and Mr. Hendricks may well say‘to be complimented by him is the highest tribute that could possibly be paid me.” By native force of character he early burst the bonds of obscurity—a widow’s son in the backwoods of Indiana, and the light of his wisdom illuminated the dark places and directed national thought during the right of our country’s greatest perils. On all the questions now universally conceded right—the homestead law, Knownothingism, anti-slavery, he has spoken, not only from the highest plain of statesmanship, but with an elegance surpassed by no English classic, and the poor man of America, whether white or black, never had a pireerer or' more eloquent friend.
