The intense excitement at Washington a the result of the impeachment of Andy Johnson has in a measure subsided, but the work goes bravely oo, and is the more ecrtain of righteous consummation. The Senate have adopted a series of well matured rules for the trial of this and other cases of impeachment, wbile the Houe in Committee of the Whole are deliberating! with bccoujit gratify the "articles" or indictment upon which be is to be tried. This is no'child's play or farce, performing for the benefit of stock jobbers or politicians; but the Congress of the United State, inspired by the spirit of the loyal people of the Nation, are about to exhibit another practical test of the problem of conttit.it looal republic government. We hare demonstrated during the last six years our ability to suppress and destroy the greifest rebellion of modem times, and it now remains to exhibit to the eneniieiof ' republicanism, at home aod abroad, our capacity to impeach, try and convict of ''high crimes and misdemeanors" the highest officer known to the Constitution, and hurl him from power and place, without in the least endangering or disturbing the peace and quiet ol the nation. Naught will be done in malice, the Senate will sit as a high court of judica ture, presided over by the Chief Justice of the United States, before whom Andrew Johnsor, the Acting President, will be brought aider arrest, and tried as any other citizen of the United States is tried when cha.ged with "crimes and misdemeanors." It is right that it should be so. The humble shall be exalted and the arrogant made low. The President is but citizen of the Republic, and is protected or punished as the most humble in the land. It is our pridd and boast that we recognize oo distiuctiuus because of birth, wealth or position, as The rank la hut the jrninea tainpj A man't a man for a that." "Don's" Letter. ' ve invite attention to tho letter of "Don in this i-ue. We heard complaiuts among tho Delegates at the State Convention of the kind referred to, but knowing nothing of the facts, attached no importance to them. The importance of harmony in our own ranks cannot be overestimated. If there are those among us who assume to dictate or scheme to control our policy and nominations, the people will soon assign them to that obUrion wLioh thair deeds demand.

"Our Next Member of Congress." Under the above caption, brother Sinks pf the Connersville Timft OBDOttnces Hon. Jeremiah M. Wilson of that place as a contingent candidate for the Congressional nomination, but says, "under no circumstances will be enter into a cootest and a squabble for it." It is fair to presume that our brother of the tripod ppeaks bjr authority, aud that the Judge occupies tbat graceful and pleasing attitude that doubtless many good and qualified men of the District do catchers of apples while some other more venturous and energetic worker shakes the tree. It is a grest mistake when the Timet assert that "the American while endorsing Col. Farquhar manifests 6ome fears that Judge, J. M. Wilson of this place may b candidate." The American has expressed-no such' fears and entertains

none. Ou the contrary, we spoke of Jude Wilson in what we intended as compliiuequry; and deserving terms, as the ablest and .most popular Judge that has ever presided at our Court. We made no allusion., to him Congrtssionally. In common with our people, we should very much regret to lose hi ai from the bench, for the duties of which bis talents peculiarly fibjia; but if indinpensable to tbc harmony and success of the Union Republican cruÄw6Jnffiiost xheerfaJly upport tiiiq or any other nomineo of the party. . The Timtt greatly mistakes the temper of the Rrookville Democrat's article when it assumes (hat it "indicates that Democracy fear. Judge Wilson more than any man in the District." We think its animus is to distract and "injure the pfospects of others named, who they politically hale nd car mors than they do Judge Wilson. We do cot understand that there is, and hope there may not be, such a "contest and a rqdabble for it," as to preclude Judge Wilson from entering the list. It certainly has not manifested itself in this part of the District. It is not proposed by Col. Farqnhsr or his friends to take part in a "squabble" for the nomination. Such lias not been the usage of the old Fourth, and they ignore it in the new Fourth, lie rises above the consideration of "personal claims,' and cheerfully submits to the judgment of the people his life-long political consistency, experience aind availability. . He nor they make no war on political brethren, though opponents for the nomination, but reserve their ammunition for the common enemy. Articles of Impeachment. The Articles of Impeachment of the President, as finally agreed upon by the House, are framed upon the violation of the Constitution in attempting to remove lbe Secretary of War, and to put another in office, wÜife the Scnato was in session, without its advice and consent; upon the violation of the Tennre-of-Officc law by the same' act; the conspiracy to take possewion of the office by force and amis, and to prevent the Secretary of War by intimidation and threats from holding bis office; the conspiracy to seize the property of tho United States in the War Department; and upon his attempt to instigate General Emory to violate tho law which requires that all orders relating to military operations, issued by the Prcsi. dent, shall be issued through the General of the Army, and to make him receive and set upon orders received directly from him without notifying the General. Also one reciting the President's speeches in swinging round, the circle, and another his declaration. to. tho spokesman of the Philadelphia Convention that Congress was an unconstitutional body, lunging on the verge of Government. The spirit of the House throughout the discussion has been earnest, and its action has indicated great harmony. It was the intention of the managers to respond to the message of the Senate expressing readiness to receive the articles, by bearing them to the bar of that body, early on Wednesday afternoon of this week. Controversy Ended. We have another letter this week from our worthy correspondent "W. It. G.," in which he continues the controversy with "O. K. All things must come to an endj and we think this the proper time to end this controversy. As "W. It. G." had the Grot, "0. E.

Indianapolis Correspondence. Indianapolis, Maecii 2, 18G3. C. II. Bingham Esq , Editor American: The true Union men of this city ire looking on with deep interest as the time of jour Congressional nomination approaches. It is a truth unavoidable that under the re districting of last Winter, with the known discordant elements in Wayne, Fayette and Union Counties, the utmost harmony must prevail to insure success. The blatant opponents of Mr. Julian seek to fix the whole responsibility of tbij necessity on him and his adherents. While it is to be regretted that Mr. Julian and his admirer's recognize none other than him ss entitled to or qualified for the place, there is a selfconstituted cabal of his haicrt, equally assumptive, recognising no succession unless the mantle falls on one of their shoulders. The earmarks of these gentlemen were plainly visible at the late State Con-

vention in this city, monopolising aud shaping the action of your District Delegation, greatly to tie disgust of better and wiser men. It is currently rumored, and by mar.y believed, that this same quartette of aspirants, residing in the middle tier of Counties in your new District, met at Connersville during the Winter, and, self-constituted, agreed upon a programme for the coming campaign, the first two planks of which went under at the State Convention. It is believed here that v r u icid j,--of the District know t'tfff? anJwiit 'keep a cl?se watch on their movements hereafter. . Their main object is to defeat Mr. Julian for the nomination and $ecure the tucccstiun, without which they prefer bis nomination and defeat in October. 1 know. the men, their purposes, and whom they serve. Bennett, Claypool and Sexton were all named as candidates up' to the Connersville caucus, after which the last two gracefully subsided, leaving but one of those named on the track. It is surmised that Judge Cullcn would not have refused the Electorship of the District, but for the fact that he could not serve as such while on the bench, when tho programme changed and it was bestowed unsought on a more worthy man, in the hope of embarrassing his prorpects for Congressional nomination. They may find in Captain Farquhar too old and experienced a politician to foil in so glaring a trick, and we predict he will turn tho nomination to such account as will baQa their puny purposes. This is no time to parcel out efficcs. The life of the Nation is at stake. The whole Slate and country are interested in the success of your District aiM all other Union Districts. The good tense of your people should frown down all tuch truckling politicians, and with united voice harmonize oo the most worthy and available man of the District, without regard to locality or prior line of succession. Don. . LETTER FROM WASHINGTON. Correspondence of lb American. Washington, D. C, Feb. 20, 18G3. Mr. Editor, I am glad to see that eo good a paper for the farmer as tho "North Western Farmer," published at Indianapolis, has received favorable notice iu the American. I have been receiving that paper for nearly a year, and think that all you say of it is true; and if our roading farmers would try it fur a year they would think it a good thing. It is the bebt agricultural journal ever published in our State. The plan of awarding agricultural papers tor premiums at fairs, as was done a few years ago, was a very good plan, only that sometimes one person got two or more copies, and therefore got more than he wanted of that kind. This difficulty can bo easily remedied by allowing all euch lucky persons to commute all after the first such premium.. The distribution of cish as premiums is a great improvement over jewelry, and the distribution of ogr'u cultural papers U a great improvement on the cash premium. It may be objected to this, that mechanics do not need an agricultural paper. The "North Western" has many a good and instructive word for mechanics, and the housewifery department is of value in the family of anybody who appreciates a tidy kitchen and an inviting dining room. Permit mo to commend the North Western to oar Society and to our people. Cor.gress is bard at work. It is marvelous how that body despatches business. They have been in fession dow only about three months, and they have gotat least a half-dozen bills through, and have come to conclusions in three or four contested cases. But there has been much important work referred to committees, and it is fair to presume that more work and less talking for buncombe will be done hereafter. One thing is clear: Congress is determined to do something for the financial relief of the country. One step in that direction is the joint resolution already passed to stop contraction of the currency. Another thing will be done: The bonds held by capitalists or any body else will be made subject to taxation, as far as that can be done consistently with the faith of the Government; and the intention ,pf Congress, I urn satisfied, is to have the face of all Government bonds paid at uiutuiity in the same money that the people havo to use, wherever that can be done consistently with the contract made by the Government when tho bonds were put On the market. 1 his is not only the sentiment of the Republican mjority in Congress, but I am glad to see the same expressed by the Republican Conventions all over the country. Congress is manifesting a determination tj curtail the public expenses. They are reducing the estimates for appropriations nearly one-third; in come cases even more than that. It is an easy thing for individuals or for small bodies or for large bodies to be extravagant, but hard to retrench. In doing bo much, caa and good judgment are required. Congress has deteruiineu lo xo ice imug, aim uiajr iuaae some mistake in doing it. For-instance, the 39th Congress increased their own pay UGf per cent., just when the country was groaning under a burden of taxation that was almost crushing. They did it when it was the order of tho day to swell all expenditures Now tho demand of the coautry if relief retrench. Ibey near the demand, but I notice that tney appro priate the full amount to pay themselves at tli9 lucreaaei rates, while they arc severely economical on tome other items noi pc i laming io iiur personal iaicie?w.

This is, of course, simply an ovcrMht; Snd if tho people would call their attention to tMÄ, as bis been done to other maiters, they might take notice. When C'onereasmen advanced their own pay from $3,000 to $5.000 per annum, other persons who are employed in Washiugtou in the interest of the Government, by a parity of reasoning asked a similar increase in their pav. There was no ar

guraeut in favor of tLcrea6tug the pay of Congressmen CüJ per cent, that would not apply to all other Government employes in Washington, to the same extent. There should have been no increase in either esse. They took, however, CGJ to themselves, and gave 20 to others. The 20 to others has ceased. The Cb'j to thenihclves is, through oversight, or tor some reason, still continued,, though retrenchment is the order of the day. Sorte Congressmen are very fensitive on tsuggcatious from outsiders, or I would suggest that there is a splendid chance for retrenchment, now that the war is over, by dismissing all army officers except just enough to officer regiments of the maxi'mum number instead of the minimum. That would greatly relieve the Treasury, and make as efficient an army, though it would tbia put .the bhoulder-straps from (hit and other cities. A case of the tensitiveness referred to, came under my own observation i few day ago. One who not only felt snr jqterefct in pubWc matters, but whs, has an official connection with the matter) 'called on Mr. Spalding, of Ohio, hfi-Wrg-a metrber of tho Appro--r utiu umttxe,luprciint- aome liicta Yrcuriiig on an appropriation for keeping iu repair one of the public build irys. Iu that case' Mr. Spalding not only refused to hear the representation, .but treated the applicants with as much indignity as though they belonged to different orders of beings, which to my certain koowlcdgcja not the case. Sgn.e men wear honors ' with a different style than that they wear when asking for them. J. lt. G. Correspondence of the American. LETTER FROM INDIANAPOLIS. Indianapolis, Feb'y 24, 'C8. "Union," in the American of the Mth inst., puts words in our mouth which we did not utter. We never said that the leading Republicans of Indianapolis "expected and desired" Mr. Julian's re-nomination. We said "concede." We are well aware that a number of Republicans of this citya'nd "Uoion" is one of them,) do not "desire'' Mr. J.'s re-nomination. The memory of man runneth not back to the time when they ever did. Right or wrong, they always have o'pposed his nomination, and generally his election. This year they concede his re nomination; but, reiving implicitt-ly on the 'consistent" actiou of their party friend., who have ever, to a greater or less extent, scratched Mr. J.'s tame, believe he will bo 'defeated by somo 57M'epublican or Copperhead. In other words, that enough of tho anti-Julian men will bolt the nomination, as heretofore, to preclude tha possibility of the election of a Republican. We"dont' happen to know" that "Union" is suflkiently attached to the Rrpublin cat?-? to adviic hjs friend; to act any differently. Tdut let us address ourso'.f to the "pith" of "Union's" communication, for he is a gesltman whom we would treat in a respetiil fnafciuerasjiis communication indicates fearlessness, and carries with it no vague or uncertain meaning. A man, though he be a fool, can fully comprehend it. lie says, "whenever .Mr. Julian has been in politic there has been disaffection in the ranks of the Republican party, and that it bas continued to increase in each year until it has 'assumed fotmidable proportions!" Now, go to! 4 Union's" iugenuity is but poor if he can not devise better fiction than this. Let him not believe that the old anti slavery friends of Mr. Julian have suffered inju ries and insults at the hands of chronic bolters, for the past ten years or more, in order to take such false coin s this in payment. "Disaffection," indeed! Pray, who created it? fir. Julian? Not a bit of ill It was the unfaithful political rogues who Gought his place, aud, failing to ob tain it, wheeled about, iu violation of their faithfully pledged honor, and bolted and scratched his name, even to the number, ns "Uuion"jFjs, of "nineteen hundred" in Wayne CY-uuty alone! And at this result, "Untou'l cries "formidable disaffection!" Why, certainlV, and there always will be, if "Union's" liiends have no more regard for their honor than to bolt! And what sort cf grace is it for ''Uniou' to ppeak of this disaffectiou when the original cause, if any, and the action itself, lies with, anJis chargeable to noue other than his friends? This is once more presenting the old thread-hire plan of the thief crying "itop thief!" As far as Mr. Julian s concerned, the charge of "disaffection" has no pertinence. He bus always been an organizer of the Republican party, and never a dis organizer?, lie wait one of the Vice Presidents of thq first National Republican Convention, which met at Pittsburgh, in 18ÖG, and was Chairman of the Committee on Organization through whose report of a plan of action the party Jirtl took lift. lie has ever since proven true to the prin 'rj'- o titL-gar t y. a 11 d voted every National, estate and County ticket of the party placed in nomination, and abided all results, whether ho himself was successful or not. "Every -intelligent mau in tho State who knows anything of the history" of political contesta in the "Old Rurnt District;'' knows that Mr. Julian' enemies "'Union's" friends) cannot say this . much for themselves. They can't mako a reasonable pretension to it: They, like 4,Union," while crying disaffection and charging Mr. J. with disorganizing the party, were themselves bolting the Republican nomination for Congress in every contest as regularly as it transpired. Certainly, "Union" is a lovely man to talk about diaffeetion. Falstatf, a coro in on liar and coward, in reading Prince Hal moral lectures, was just as consistent as "Uuion" in his effort to inculcate po litical virtue and party fealty. But Mr. Julian has "quarreled" with every prominent man of his district. Pray, did nobody ever "quarrel" with him? Has he always been tho aggressive party? Have said prominent men been the meek lambs who never went out of their way to stir up the muddy pool? Were they alwsys .su much inclined to the ways of peace that they never did Mr. J. any dirt? And this "ouarreling," 'was it because Mr. J. was wrocg and his oppoaeuta rigbt?.1

lias timo shown it to be so? Whooe prin ciplca havo triumphed, and whote have not? What was the original caune, so to apeak, of this "quarreling?" Was it not because Mr. J. maintained his unpopular position, aod would not bo swerved from it by any sort of furce or influence? We have in our mind a prominent mm, formerly of the "Old llurnt District," who, by his talent and the fortune which sometimes attends political Iife.'has climbed up the ateep'aod slippery path of worldIv irreatness. until hohas reached a ruM-

I c-- ' - - - , tion of influence, who went farther out of . ill i h w bis way to "quarrel Willi .Mr. J. tnan Mr. J. ever went to "quarrel" with him or' any other opponent. This. said prominent man traveled sixty-nine miles, "all the way by rail," accompanied by bis "gallant henchmen," to .make a violent speech agaiust ultraism and ultra men; but who, three years thereafter, iu the Senate of the United States, took it all back, and declared that a man who, in these stiri political times, did not change his position, was like a lone mile-stone ou an unfrequented highway; thus gulping down, bodily, ail the uncalled f jr abuse of Mr. J ulian because of his fuith in principles which the aforesaid prominent man could not endorse until the "logic of events" forced him to do it. Such a man, or any of his frionds, ought not to charge Mr. Juliuu with being quarrelsome; rather should he thank him aud give him credit I for firmness, when he (prominent roan) was blind and slow iu finding out his true position as a leader of the Republican Rut how absurd is the charge that Mr. Julian is quarrelsome, vindictive and abusive. Everybody of sene knows that the provocation came not from him, but from his enemies. Mr. J. 's past political position brought him . in opposition to many men of his District before the organization of the Republican party, but not necessarily in the attitude Dl personal hostility, certainly not to men of his own or:a tuzatiun. If there was bickering and hcutt-burtiing,' it was not of Mr. J.'s seek. ing. Iu tho early periud of Mr. J. 'a political life, when partizan rancor reached its high tide, he was, at times, compelled to fight hi opponetils with their oicnwtapoii$; but for many years past he has stu diously abstained from ail personalities, r. : t . : - ..i t : . .1: . couuriing ma puuuu uieu5sioua in greai national issues exclusively, aud turning neither to the right or the left to notice attacks made on him. During this time, what have hid eiiemic becu about? They have been assailing him with gingular bitterness, aud while he reserved his blows for the commou enemy, whom ha never spared, they have been slandering.scratching,. bolting, aud, lastly, trving to te dis trict him out of Congress. This is wcli j known in the ' Old liurat District." Rut, says "Union," "these quarrels" were not "the result of any pnjudiee or envy of Mr. Julian, but the result of his own conductl' SLatue ou the mind that conceived this extravagant piece of im ! pudenctl It is only necessary for us to j say thut the reverse of this is the truth. If it was not "r.niudice," why oppose him? if not ' envy," why eetk, by both fair and foul mean!', (and generally foul.) tn f1wftrYO fl.A ttiiliti.a ft t. ft A a t f i it Ivtitt :and charge v Mvoi v j - v ' ia w .wk av- nv-v u 1 t j j him vtith dcsiri"g a "life1 . . lease'' ou his place in Congress? Because the pcoplr, and not the politiciaus, r Ull iiurot Dlstiict," would have of the him in f'iir-nrrc itiKtr.id nf tntr.fl nno fit' his m r.rt. 1 n- " f l" j ncnts, tnvy' has always prompted attacks on him. and practiced every un scrupulous trick ktionu to the catalogue of political diUouor. in order to break j him. dow ti aud cast him from his pUce iu 'Congress. Again, says "Union:" "The next year ! (18 IS) ho Mr. Julian wetit intu the County Couveution, (W hig.) and failing to control it, bolted with a few friends and organized a separate Convention' and .that "this forced him into tho ranks ol tho democracy, in ibi'Jl Mark now, how plain a title shall put him down! Mr. Julian was not iu any Whig Con've tit ion in ISIS, and hence' did not lult. Early in the Spring of 1848 he separated himself from the Whig party and cast hi political fortunes with the Free Soil party, ; und at the close of that year was Dowinaj ted by that party for Congress. He had ; nothing to do with any other party or I Convention. The Democrats neVer noiu'inated him at all, nor was Mr. J. forced "into their ranks." Mr. J. was just as I much the nominee of a distinct and iuj dependent political crgnnuition as either any Democrat or Whig in any other Disj trict in the State. He was tho bona ßJt rree-Soil candidate of the ireo-Soil party. This is the whole story, aud the charge of ''bolting," and "making a bargain with the Democrats by which he received their vote," and thus defeated Hon. Samuel W. Paiker, has about as much to do with Mr. Julian as if made agaiust the Emperor of the French. " 1 he Democrats voted for Mr. Julian on that occasion, but be did not thereby become himself a Democrat, or co-oierate with that party; if so, the Democrats have failed to recognize him, and we are inclined to the belief that they do not now consider him orthodox. In fact, as far as our observation extends, they have come nearer claiming his opponents, such as Meredith, 11 olio way & Co., and that, too, with some better hope of fraternal fellowship. The Democrats being powerless to elect their roan in 1SP-), and having, as everybody knows, a spasm of antislavery virtue, at that time, they mounted fairly and squirely the Free-Soil platform, and voted for a Frce.Soil candidate, rather than see a Whig elected to Congress. Mr. J. conceded no principle to the Democrats, and has always maintained, from, that time to the present, the doctrines enunciated in that platform, and in good faith sought, through evil and good report, to advance them; and eo popular have they become, that now they are the recognized creed of the dominant political party of the nation. : Now let us enquiro who, in all the past political coutests in the Old Rurnt District, have proven to be right? the men who have from 1813 to 1S63 opposed Mr. Julian, or Mr. Julian himself? We reckon by the zeal manifested mio by some of his opponents for the radical princples he has always maintained, that it is not he who has been wrcng, but exactly the reverse the men who would have defeated him because of his "ultraism," and who are now charging him with political misconduct of which he has never been guilty. Again: "The fact is," eays "Union,' "Mr. Julian ia for himself, and while he ia boasting about is devotion to principle, he never hesitated to violate any principle or abandon any party he could not control!" To this charge ire will say, let Mr. Julia a

be judged in the light of to da), aid let the people ay whether his course has noli been the reverse -of wbnt is btated, and

fully verified by time. While be has, at . iiuicb, ma umiijr nave mougui Do agree with hi in now,' Leen in the advance, as a practical man he has cordially united with the Republican organization in all its treat : . i .i. t. i battle with tue enemy; aud he is ready to-day, as always iu the patf, to lay at ide!" au nid issues and every weight that can jeopard our success in the great National struggle of 16G3. and give to the canvuca the full share of labor necessary to achieve what must be our final victory, if we succeed. . . ..-' Again: "He Julian Las cevr - to my UuionV'J kuowledge (except in 1859) supported a tingle ticket, of any party, upon which he himself wa not a candi duttl" Certainly, "UnionV knowledge must be very limited if he thinks this is the truth. We have before stated fliat Mr. Julian was not a"bolter" or a "scratcher." Mr J. has never, in any single in stance, taied to vote the Republican ticket Naiional, State, County and Township whether ho was a candidate or not, since the organization of tie party; and loni: before the breath of life was blown into its nostrils, he was advocating its princi plep; and "Uuion" would make us happy beyond ail coiupuiron, if he. can poiot to even a siuglo iustanco, by way of making j;ood bis.charg, where Mr. J. has not doi.o as we have stated. Again: "It is confidently btated," rays "Union," "by tLe Democrats, that fbould "MrrJulian be nominated he will lose enough votes in Wayne County alone to defeat his election!' "Confidently stated," indeed, by "Demorrattl" Judging by the past action of "UuionV friends, "the Democrats" can tell to acertaiuty. "Nine teeu hundred" of them scratched his name iu"WaytieCouty"in lSlU! Has "Union promised the Democrats that if Mr. J. is re-ifomiuated that that game shall be p!a)ed over again? Do Democrats "eonfidrntly predict" ou the history of tie past or on -fresh assurances of "Union" and his frieodc? Why is it that "Uoion" is blatantly crying disaffection," and charging Mr. Julian with "bolting," wbcu he is coolly advauciug hiiu-elf to the championship and boidly shouting ti e war cry of the only "disorganixers" of the part)? This leids us tu atate what we intended doing in another place iu this communica tion. Mr. Juliau lias always been returned to Congress truui the "Old Rurnt District," siniplv Leva um: a nmjoriiy of the Ji?pbficun party jmftrrrd Aim. Tltu and again have his opouents tried to defeat him;, time and agiiri hare they b Ited Iii nomination. Every ear Air.

At last, with ail their efforts, both repjtaole and disreputable, they found it impossible to defeat the wishes of the masses of the Republican party, anil, as u demur resoit, resolved to re oi trict the State aud out Mr. J. ia that way. No greater evidence is needed of Mr. J.'a strength in hi old iXstiict than this. He was placed in a Durrict where there ate, on close count, but about fourteen hundred Republican m.-ijority. This small msjiirity is made the argument aud threat lor another n au's nomination. Says "Union," . if Mr. J. is nominated Wayne County alone "can defeat his election!" for, in the second ye:r of the war, did not "nineteen hundiecf Republican (!) voters scratch bin name frim the ballot and vole a blank?" In the Old Rurnt District," with a radical Republican majority of five or six thousand, nothing could be done towards defeating Mr. J.; but now, in a new District of barely 1.400 majority, "let him stand from tiudei!" or the mighty car of "disaffection" will roll over the party and erubh.it in litiet! Does not " t'lii'iu" know hat the friends of Mr. Julian understand this? Djes he suppose they are a ret of atupid idiot that tuey cannot comprehend the transparent game that he and Lis ineuds have and are playing? Let us euqu reofhiru if he does not understood that the game of "scratching" and "bolting" is ono thai two can play at? D'.tes not "Union' presume a good deal when he takes for grau'ed that Mr. Julian friend will abide II nominations, notitlitjfiding they (Mr. J.'s opponeuts) cootinuilly faiieJ to act liono:ably, after pledging saciedly they would, at the pull, when he was a Candidate? Is "Union" ure that no provocation could induce the friends cf Mr. J. to cut dowu his (Julian's) successful rival as much as his enemies cut liiui down without any provocation? Can't it occur to "Union" that men who havo fought Mr. J.'s battles for twenty yeats, iniylil be a little chilled on teeing him slaugl.teied simply Lira use he has been trw? When "Urion" is discussing the question of "popularity," would he not do well to reflect on thee questions, and try and discover who really it the most popuUr mau? "Scratching" is a two-edged sword! Again: "It is well known," fays "Union," "that Wayne County, where Mr. Julian has resided for years, has been aud is bitterly hostile to his nomination!" Oo the Sth day of February, 1SG3, the Republicans of Wayne County met in Convention, at Centerrille, the home and birthplace of the lion. Geo. W Julian. TLe reporter of the .Indianapolis Journal,' in giving an accouct'of it, said that it was "pronounced the largest and most harmonious Convention that had beeu held in the County for many yoars." Gen. Tom Dennett, the gentleman who carved out the new Fourth District iu order - to get himself ecnt to Congress in the place of Julian, was present ' and addressed the Convention, fcaviog, at the same time, at his back as many men as he could rally to tecure an endorsement of himself. When the General had concluded,' the Committee on Resolutions reported and the Convention unanimously adopted the following resolution, among others: ''Jlesolved, Thai we cordially endorse and approve the course of llox. O. I. Morto.v, our Senator, and of Hon. Geo. W. Jclia!.' our ' Representative, in the Congress of the United States." This ia all we have to say in answer to the charge that "Wayne County is bitterly hostile to Mr. Julian's nominalicn." "Cordially endorse and approve!" This is not the language of hostility. It is the language of sympathy and support. Again Bya"Uniou:" "It may be well to look into tho question of popularity before thernomination is made!" This raises the question of availability. We will examine the question briefly ourself. We agree with "Union" that it" is a matter which should bo very thoroughly canvassed before actiou is taken. It is argued that, iu oider to put aa cud to old feuds,

anew mm must bo selected, who will hstniOfii all parties and inr r?Ai. 'This U what-Uuiou" means by popularitf."

We answer", that for succci-mvu tears 'Mr. Juliau baa triumphed over all the leading men of Eastern Indians, ingly and in combination, and simply because he in treuched himself in the hearts of an' over"' whelming majority cd the people of the Uurnt District." This ruacit biru 'avilab!o" in the past, and, for the rame reason, will no. I he old feuds are passing away, and the leaders wL have fought Mr. J.: h'ire all perithtd. , 'I he factious ppcition to him ha been cunfersedly fading , away every )ear. There are still, aa v "Uuion" says, some malignauts La will, finbt Mr. J 's nouiiuatiou, and then arütth him at the polls, but if thy are td dictate 1 the action of the Rejublican party, it might as eil disband, for thor ! annotation of a thoroughly tried man in order to placate a squad of disorganizes; would so dUgust the radical hr st of ur party that a nomination eo male would Le quite tnavailable as any other. The men' who bkve ft uuht all of Mr. J.'a batfes in the , past and who are tow more determined than ever, situe the attempt to legislate him out of Congress, will not be harinoiiizcd by baii g a new nun thrust upoo them by his (Julian's) old antagonists, net because be (Julian) has been false or faith'-le.-s, butLecaua-e he has been uhrwerving-' ly true. Let it be remtmtered, also, as our election returns will chow, that t.thet Corgressmen in Iudiana besides Mr. Juliarv have very oh-n fallen behind the State lifted. Mr. Orth, for example, in Lirf last race ran behind the' general ticket far' more than Mr. J. The came fact will be found true aa to Congressional candidate in other States. We will add further, that Farquhar, Bennett, or any other man would fail to get the whole party vote, end might be scratched quite as much as Mr. J., and that about half the scratching against Julian for years past ban been done in those Counties now no longer in . his District. That the Republicans of the Fourth Distiict will i erform well their duty to their party and country, by seeking out an honest and able mau for Congies, no one lor a momeiit doubts; but in taking theactioa ncces-ary 'to accomplish the work, they should not overlook, but havo ; an eye to merit und trprriuce. Judging by lb- surroundings, it seems to u that ' necessity, "who will have the .man, and nut the shadow," wi I point to aud make the choice of Mr. Julian. He represeata fully (Le goodness of tui cause, and having served it long, aod UHt faithfully and well, all genuine Republican could uiiitc the uos4 eht-vi fully uuder hi leadership atvd fiht more zealously than under the Launer of a jy new or uutried man.'
