Shelbtville Ind., March 3. A published call having been made For tbe Republicans of Addison township, Shelby county, Indiana, to meet in mass convention on the third day of March, 1S70, a Urge and enthusiastic meeting assembled in Blessing's Opera Hall, and was organised by calling Dr. W. F. Green to act as President and Daniel Morgan, colored, as Vice President, and James E. McGuire as Secretary. On motion, the resolutions passed by a convention held in the Mayor's Office, March 2, 1870 were read and laid upon the table. On motion, a committee consisting of Will C. Nichols, Wm. A. Wilson and Ren. F.Love, were appointed to draft resolutions. During the absence of the committee a number of splendid speeches were made, onvassing the present situation, and George W. Julian's and Hon. J. M. Wilson's claims for Congress in the approaching campaign. The Committee reported the resolutions, at which time E. G. Mayhcw moved to lay the preamble and resolutions on tho table, -which was lost. Mr. Letter moved to adjourn, which motion was lost. Mr. E. B. Wingale moved that the preamble and resolutions be passed as a whole Pr. J. C. Slocum moved to amend bv j voting each resolution separately, which j amendment was lost. The question then being upon the original motion, the preamble and resolutions were passed amidst tbe wildest enthusiasm and thundering applause. Alter which the Convention adjourned. The following are the preamble and resolutions: Whereas, at a meeting held on tbe evening of the ild inst., at the Mayor's vfiice, in the city of Shelbvville, certain resolutions, purporting to be the voice of j the Republican party 0l Addison town-! ship, were passed, as expressing the wish- i of a majority of the Republicans of j Shelby county, declaring Hon. G. W. Ju- j lun to be the hrt choice of the Itepub;ins as their nominee of the Fourth District, and Wuerf.as, At said meeting a resoln- i -tion was adopted condemning the course j f the Shelby Republican in opposing the I nomination of the present incumbent for Congressional honors, and declaring that ! ;?t, in so doing, does not speak the voice o, a majority of the Republicans of Shelby j county; and j Whereas, Said meeting was gotten up ; and held without any public notice what j .ever: therefore, j JwWtv.i, That the meeting held in the ; .evening of the 2d instant. at the Mayor's office of the City of Shelbyville wa-t not; an expression of the Republicans oT Ad-j !ison township, nor of Shelby county, as ; to their choice for nominee for Congres- j picnal itcprc&eaUtive from the lourth Pi-triet. rVoc f.

James Stover, Scc'y. Card from J. M. Cumback Esq. To the Editor of the Indiana polls Journal: You will probably receive to-day for publication the proceedings of what purports to be "a meeting of the Republicans of Addison township, Shelby county, Indiana," in which resolutions were passed, Hnim'mousfif, (of course), endorsing Mr. Julian and denouncing the editor of the Shelby Uepubli"an for having the audacity to think that there is some one else in tin's Distiict who has brains besides that gentleman. Without stopping to discuss the merits of these resolutions, I have simply to say that no sneh mating teas ercr held that tha resolutions arc bogus, and in so far as they relate to the endorsement or Mr. Julian or the condemnation of tho editor or the Republican by the "Republican of Addison township," they are ft he ih the first place and m-dicioy in the second. The facts in the case are these: Mr. Julian bas discovered that bis star is waning in this county, and in order to "create an impression," he has oniem his office holders here, and a few other satelites to whom be bas promised "great things" in the future, to bold a pricote meeting and get up aseiies of resolutions similar to those sent you for publication. They have been swift of foot to obey orders. Heing but fw in numbers it did not take long to call them together in secret caucus, with etosat doors and blinds let down. So, in their widotn they assembled last evening, thirty three in number the tchole Julian force in Addison township out of seven hundred Republican voters and you have the fruits of the:r labors. In conclusion, I have this to ask of these gentlemen: You have succeeded admirably in getting your ' Julian resolutions" through among yourselves Now I dtmtd and dare you to call a ftddie meeting of 1 1 he Republicans of Addison township," and the present your first two resolutions tor endorsement.

. From the Indianapolis Journal, Feb. 23. THE AMERICAN CONTINENT.

Its Geological History. - Mr. Blanchard's discourse on the "Formation of the American Continent," at the Academy of music yesterday morning, was listened to by a large audience," notwithstanding the weather. It was more a lecture than a sermon a summing up, in sequence, of tbe facts of geology in regard to the formation of the continent on which we live, for the purpose, as tbe speaker said, of contributing to that information which tends to make men more reverent, truthful and patient. It is impossible in the space we can afford to give move than a brief nd very imperfect outline of the discourse, which was based principally on the recent work on geology by Prof. Draper, and was a very interesting and instructive sermon. The text was the 24th verse of the 104th Psalm: "O Lord, how manifold are thy works. In wisdom hast thou made them all; the earth is full of thy riches." Tho speaker first drew a profile of the North American Continent as it now is, commencing on the New Jersey coast at the 40th parallel, where the Continent puts its feet into the deep sea, many miles from the visible shore, and then, sloping up to the crest of the Alleghenies, makes -tbe immense sweep of the Mississippi valley to the summit of the Rocky Mountains, sinks again to form the elevated valley of the Salt Lake basin before reaching tbe Sierra Nevadas, and finally slopes to its foundation in the Pacific. Geology finds record of over forty different periods, but these are again submitted to generalization, and the story is told under the six ages of the world. The first geological record antedates tbe first age. Then acrose from tbe sea a spine of land, stretching from Labrador to Lake Superior, and away to the northwest, without a vestige of organic life, with no variation of climate, no Arctic winter only an emergence from the great body of water, of a narrow strip of silent land. At the end of the first aire tbe American continent had added to itself Minnesota, Northern Wisconsin, Michigan and New York. Still, there was a uniform climate, a humid atmosphere no plants, no fishes, no vertebrates only the gelatinous mollusks. Diiridrr lt,A aninn1 tt Tft iinthorn Wic. cousin and Ohio were added to the continent evidences of plant life became visible, and small indications of organic life began to appear. At the end of the third age Pennsylvania, Indiana, Illinois and the country west or the Mississippi, down to Texashadbeen formed, and tho G ulf of Mexico washed the southern border of those States. This was an age of exceeding interest, for in it were formed the immense deposits which ; are now our coal mines, (lhe speaker here refered to the almost infinite multitude of trees required to form our coal fields, and of the extent of these fields compared with those of Great Britain.) Still there are no reptiles, no birds, and silence reigned everywhere. In the fourth age Alabama was gradually added to the continent first the middle, then the Kastern, and finally the western part. The G ulf of Mexico extended up to the mouth of tbe Ohio river. In this age reptiles first make their appearance, and sharks, and monsters, half shark and half reptile. The fifth age beheld many and great chanjes. The coral-workers built Florida, but the Mexican Gulf still extended almost to St. Louis. The Rocky Mountains wero projected above the waters in the west. In the east there was first a depression, aud then an upheaval of the Allegheny Mountains. Trees came into existence -the oaks, the maples and others. Then the mammals appear the dog, the bear and the ox, and lour species of the camel, and three or four of the horse, which are now extinct. And yet m ill was not created. No human eye to sec; only God looked down on the growing continent, and silence brooded over all. Then ctrae the sixth age, the age in which we live, which saw the finishing of the continent. Insect life now reaches the highest point in the bee and the ant. The great story of man is told in this age. The high table land in the southern portion was probably tbe spot where man commenced his career on this continent. overrun with savages, but this wis net so. There wore only about o'JM.O.M tndians (the present population of Brooklyn) scattered iu small tribes over the whole northern country, and farming only a fringe to the civilization in Mexico. The length of ages rat? bj conceived ! when we consider what adlittons to the Continent were made by deposits at the rate or about half an inch in a year, and that six thousand feet, or seventy-two j thousand inches, were formed during the Trenton period alone, and double that amount during the Niagara period. When we think of the countless years occupied in the growth and decty of tho immense forests that have since become coal by the for familiar things. The force which pro duccd tbe coal which burns in our grates to-day were created away back in the third j age, innumerable years ago. innumerable years ago. lhe. dust and clods of this level country of Indiana, where did they comerromr They are indeed very venerable.

When we get impatient that the old wrong is not righted let us look back and see the three hundred thousand years required to make Minnesota, Wisconsin-, Michigan and New York, the thousand ofyears of patient labor by the little coral-workers which lifted t lorida out of the sea. And what can make men reverent but some conception how God works in all things. The speaker again referred briefly to the history of the country, and spoke of the St. Lawrence as the primeval river, the oldest on the continent, of the Hudson as the second and the Ohio as the third, which flowed to the sea countless years before

From the Shelby Republican. A Talk with the Julian Men of Shelby County by a Friend of the Party. Gentlemen: By the permission of the Editor of the Republican, I desire to lay before you the facts, and make a few suggestions for your consideration. No more important political canvass has occurred for a number of years in the State of Indiana than that which is to come off next fall. The political issues are not so great as have been heretofore, the great danger of permitting our opponents to come into power in counties and Congressional district where the vote-of the two parties is close, but where the Republicans have the majority. lu such cases the issue turns upon the votes of a very Tew men. In all such cases at least, the best and most available men should be put on the ticket, for without this there can be no hope of success. From the present indication the Hon. George W. Julian or Judge Jeremiah M. Wilson is to be our standard bearer at the next contest in the Fourth Congressional distiict, and in our judgment success or failure will be decided upon at the district nominating convention. We have come j 11118 conclusion alter canvassing ti e tacts as tar as we can witu reterenee to the availability of the men. It is not our design tv denounce Mr. Julian in this article. Wo have always been a Julian man, and will ascribe to him all the honor he merits. Rut there is nothing gained in disguising the facts in ibis cass. It would be foolish in us to put a man forward with all the assurance we can have bo beaten at in such cases that he would the polls noxi fall. A great many Repuba Means have never been hearty supporters of Mr. Julian, and at the last canvass a number of them did not Vote for him at all. This class of men have increased at least four fold since the last election. They cannot be induced by any meaus to vote for him. There are many more of the party who have at the two last congressional elections voted for him under protest. They say at the last election thy did so with the understanding that he would not come before them again. They justly say that it would be an imposition to thrust him upon them again, and are beginning to intimate that with them forbearance has ceased to be a virtue. Mr. Julian will have been, "in all twelve years in Congress when his present term j expires, toome ot us remember wnen ue was first elected to congress in iota oy the Democrats of this district uniting with the Free soil clement of the old Whig party. Then be came again before the people in t Stilt and was elected and bas been in Congress ever since. Many people think that is long enough for oue man to represent the same piople. Oar observation has -brought us to the conclusion that it is not ior the bast to keep the same nun in ollico lot a scries of terms. It not unlre-iuently bis a bad cfthe man hr.rself. lie will eitb-1 j or ret circles, or overbearing. lie natur ally gets the impresMou that he; is the only man that cm serve tho people in such a place. This must, with most men at laast, inevitably result in a decay of interest in the masses or a dictatorial spirit, either of which is a sufficient reason with the people for the withdrawal of their support. How far Mr. Julian has gone iu cither direction we leave you to determine for yourselves. We only state it as a fact - that such are tho tendencies of nun. You may discover by an examination of the records that Mr. Julian at the last

election got a I-1 votes less ttiao uovemor , supported and upheld Jlr.

capable of supporting the right, and then j only when we can make them a success. Now a word or two about Judge Wilson as the other man who is being put forward by the people for Congressional hon ors. We have a pcrsoual acquaintance with the Judge. He is a gcutleman, hon-

est and true, aud occupies a pla?e in the ! bunting up and nailing tbe odium where affections and confidence of the people ; it belongs. Most of our readers are perthat few men in tho district can claim. 1 haps aware that there is a paper in the As a lawyer he has few equals in the State, j district called "J ulian's Indiana Radical." As a Judge he is universally respected by This paper devotes about one fourth of its the best minds in the profession. With space, the year round, to the political iu-

the masses he is everywhere popular. He is emphatically the man for the people. In point of ability and honesty he is in every way Mr. Julian's equal if uot his superior. Mr. Wilson now occupies a plaee before tbe people of the district not of his own seeking. He became a candidate for nomination before us at the earnest solicitations of his friends, and at a time too when it was reported that Mr. Julian on account of ill health would uot be avail-

able even as a candidate. His friends are does not weaken the presumption that the anxious and are urging his ability and j money tbe former gets out of the Governpopularity with the masses with such troth roent, through the inSuence of the latter, fulness as will not admit of contradiction, j is intended as subsidy. It is a palpable. After looking the ground over, we find that ; a glaring, a shameless case of subsidiary

With him as the candidate the party will have no hazard, it will run no risk of being beaten. There is one other thing we wish to say before we close this letter. In these days of Bureaus and appointments tne people are apt to say of every man who may chance to take some interest in pol itics that he is seeking an office or appointment. Let aie say I want neither. The people who know me understand this to be true. Nor have I a friend whose promotion I am looking too, except Judge N ilson, and that I am doing consistently for the success of the Republican party in the Fourth Congressional district. lne Uemocrats are anxious lor Mr, Ju - man's nomination for no other reason than the success of their party at the next election. i hey express perlect confidence in their ability to beat Julian with Judge Ried.

Tne Fourth District A Subsidized Press. From tho Rich nond (Ind.) Telegram. Disposing of an objection by calling tbe objector names, is a style of argument

not unfamiliar to school bovs. let it is mouths of men who would scorn to use such means themselves, for any purpose whatever, and cause them to act contrary to the dictates of their better judgment. The power of an epithet has a two-fold nature. Resides the idea of baseness which it conveys, and from which every honorable man naturally shrinks, it frequently bas the effect to stagger conviction and raise doubts in a candid mind as to the correctness of a conclusion honestly arrived at. For this reason those who are influenced by it are to be pitied rather than condemned, while he who makes use of this power for bis selfisli ends deserves the scorn of all mankind. Were we to run through the whole vocabulary of epithets, and study the uses made of them from the time of Cicero to the present day, we could not perhaps find a more striking example of the kind of argument alluded to than that which tbe Hon. Geo. W. Julian lately gave in his "card." Dy one fell swoop he disposed of all the papers in his district, except the one published in his own interest, by calling them the "subsidized press." And that we may not be accused of over-stating the matter, let us take the literti dufinitiou of "subsidtaod," and to see to whom and what it can be fairly applied. To ubsi Hz, says Webster, is to purchase the assistance of by the payment of a subsidy and a subsidary is one that contribute4 aid for a consiJeration. Now we venture the assertion that not one of the pnpers in this district that fivois tbe nomination of Judire Wil son received a single cent for expressing such a preference. If any have since received anything it was for publishing the usual announcement at the usual rates. For ourselves, we have not even received this much. Some, at least, of those papers are conducted bv meu who have served their country and party jut ns faithfully as Mr. Julian has, and pirhaps in more substantial ways. They hive stood on the side of human rights just as firmly as he, and that, too, without asking any reward for their" services at the hands of their rartv.

Mr. Editor: We take no stock in the controversy going on through the columns of your paper between "Constituent'' and "Republican," on the one side or the other. Your correspondents doubtless both claim to be good Republicans, and desire the success of the party. One seems to be an anti Julian man a chronic enemv of i Julian, and an enemv of everv man who is not an memv of Julim It i tr thU j spirit of the letter that we obiect. as alto. e,pr unwarranted Th mhr - inf.r j emphatically a Julian man. Now I also j claim to be a friend of Mr. Julian. I am j ,,0t willing to join "Constituent" in his crusade and warfare upon Julian and ev'ery other man ot the party who does not ! publically proclaim himself an enemy j Julian. Such a policy must prove ruinous J to any party. Uur endeavors should be rather to harmonize conflicting elements either upon men or measure. Mr. Julian i has been an able, honest and faithful rep of everv ereut leading treasures of that party. To bis untiring industry and zealous devotion to the great principles of our party, coupled with his ijrcat ability, we are indebted for much of its success, and I for one, am not ashamed or afraid to ac knowledge it. Wherein has Mr. Julian and his friends. At the risk, of beinsr ex communicated and unceremoniously kicked out of the party, we must say that we are not an enemy but a friend of Mr. Julian, and we apprehend if "Constituent'' undertakes to rid the party of atl such men, he will find that he has undertaken a heavy as well as a silly contract, and may find, like the bull who undertook to turn the locomotive back, that he is too light for the undertaking. Now, while I say all this of Mr. Julian, I also say, and I think I say it iu common with nearly all those who are denounced, (Julian's friends in this County,) that he is not the man to make the next race for Conirress in this district. I believe his nomination would end.mr.r the siiropsa nf , the party, for while he has many friends, ! he has iiLso manv e Hemic who would not !

cive him that support be eu.'ht to have.!0' ,he marriage, which were in the custody

Therefore, we think it impolitic to endan ger the district, or to place on the Repub licans of thedistrict an unnecessary weight to carry. Iu short, we know of no one in this county who is urging or even ask-j ing the nomination of Mr. Julian So far 1 as we know, the friends of Julian universally favor the nomination of Judge Wilson, a miu whom they marked ou"; two years ago, to lake the place of Mr. Julian, and who is in everv wav nualified to tin if

Judge Wilson may not have his experience as a legislator or his ability in public debate, as in lee J fe . u i men have, but he has the advantage Julian in other matters lust as necessary i to his election. His personal popularity is greater and deservedly so than that of any other man iu the district. He is conceded to be one of the ablest and clearestheaded men now on the bench in Indiana. His integrity of character and honesty of purpose in publio as well as private lift) is prevorbul throughout the district. j repeat, he is emphatically tho man for ! next race, he has no weights to carry, un less some of his friends, such as "Coustiu uent," who has more zeal than ju Ig'iion t. shall succeed in getting up some unnee-i cessarv trouble in the nartv.
