HON. GEO. W. JULIAN. The very best evideuce accessible' shouKl always be proiluccil ta establish ony doubtful or disputed poiut- The laestions of merit or ability, moral woitl or virtue Uo not prcsenl any exceptions to thi9 general rule, and . when any gentleman seeks the favor, support or patronage of the public, and any of these points become involved, his especial friends are favored even blessed, when they can extract from their breeches' pockets litllographed evidence, beyond question or cavil , or the truth, that the gentleman i- singularly endowed with goodness and greatness, because it proceeds from the bead, heart5 and pen of the gentleman himself . " - ' The gentleman whose name heads this articlcj has, within" a," "month past, thus accommodated a' few hundreds of Ma friends in YV ay ne Comityvbut; Carina: that bome nnlucky radical has been overlooked, we desire that the evidence miiy ne p'lWisiioti, that all onr readers m-jy be enabled to eec -the'truth' and lenovr as a fact, that' true greatness and' pure froodness Van be combined in one mnrtfll man: ' " - Washington, I). C.'. 7 ant 1SCS. Dear Sir.: I make this earnest appeal to you, (and to other friends ' in "YVaynie Count",) to do every honorable thing in your power to rally the whole Radical force of your township at the ensuing County Convention. ; Our success in the congressional nomination will probably hinge upon the action of Wayne county in April; for I can hardly expect to succeed in the other counties, if I start out with defeat at home. The right sort of men should be' chosen as delegates to the State Convention, so as to influence thp" cneral sentiment of the State in my favor; but the great point will be to' select such men to receive the votes in April, as will resolutely refuse all votes, save those of "Republicans. This is the real issue, ior it involves tne wnoie ques tion of our success; and my enemies, Veil knowing it, 'w'iil fight like- so many demons for the control of the polls. Let every true man therefore, be at Centre. vine on me tlay or the convention, and be there early.' The contest, as usual, will be bitter, but we can win, and we mutt. ' The victory will be worth far more tlis.n any yet achieved, for it will be a final victor-; over a desperate faction of malignant?, who, as a last resort have attempted to legislate mc out of Congress. - ; ' - It "will be a shame, after so many trinmplis, if we faiMo rebuke this coward!conspirncy of demagogues, by branding it as ii failure and a disgrace. But for this foul plot to oufct and degrade me,' I would not feci like struggling further for the privilege of wearing out my life, as I have done for the last seven years, in fVlia W rni'l' 4,-n1m411 . ? Crr rrvnoa Such a life has few charms aud very many burdens. But I canuot voluntarily . ? A - i t t a 1 ' resign it now. in ine iace oi ino piiomv. 0 . - - j I ' know that I have been zealously faithful to mv. trust, ,! know 'that " no man can successfully assail my public conduct, .or my private life.. I know : that the warfare . which ' is still " waged against me is purely personal Vnd malicious, having no foundation'whatever, in principle. I know ; too, if you will pardon the egotism, that with my, expe rience and acquaintance in Congress, I r c&n be far more useful to . my constituents than I have been, or than awy new man can be. In, asking my friends therefore, to continue me in the new dis trict, I do not ask any thing in conflict f with its true interest, or with justice, decency, or. fair play. : n Let me beg of yoxi then ,-to ; do j'Our utmost, once more at least," in keeping the old flag of .Radicalism in the. ascendant, in our section of the Staten, With many thanks for past friendship and help, ; i ;. ' ; . ' ii : Yours, very truly, . ii . :' ' ' r ; GEO.; W. JULIAN, There is the evidence, gentle reader, and now dare you doubt that the Honorable gentleman 3hould be perpetuated in Congress! The only evidence that is not clear and undoubted, is, that some thoughtless friends, may,- from"1 c6nsidertions or mercy ana sy:npatny, aisnse to replace the gentleman upon the "Conirressional treadmill," where he will be rorced to wear away ins precious n;e; but to all such', we commend them to the example of John I?odgersa martyr at the stake for righteousness sake. Martyrs have appeared in all countries, and why not Wayne County have one? Another point In this evidence and instruction, although clever enough, yet a hint as to the mode of enforcing it may not be amiss. Th general sentiment of the State is to be influenced in the gentle man's favor. It would certainly be a very excellent document, (those litho graphed letters you have in j our pock ets,) for the delegates to take with them to the State Convention, and show them to the members of the last General Assembly from Henry, Delaware and Ran dolph counties, and then say to them ,you "malignant" devils, why did you vote to legislate our pure in heart ofl the treadmill, of Congressional woe

when be wa, and is, willing to "Mar tyr."

That js not AH the . advice, gentlemen delegates, ire will venture to volunteer, (you arc not bound to take it.of course, ) but inasniqch a$ all' the t Republican members of the last General Assembly,

( wno""trere-T)Tesent-wuen-thfr vote-"was-t taken,) voted to legislate the Honorable gentleman would be-martyr, out of, and off from, his Congressional tread mill;it would ceitainly be evidence of your wisdom to nave your pockets full of the p reHoudoaura enf soyou can" read them, and if tieedsbe, dilate upon them, for. they are. all in tbe-language of the authoi 'Inal'gnan8,' an(J need conversion.vbefore you . can hope to succeed with them, ,at least, in influencing the general sentiment of the State Jn favor of the Honorable gentleman. Lest the evidence, and instructions may. not. be, .by us,- well understood, and xerhaps by you,, we beg to suggest that you. take .pains to read your lithographs to the democratic members of the last GeneraLAssembly they were not "malignants," for they ; unitedly voted againstlegislatingithe Honorable gentleman out of Congress, or out, of his muckcoveted tread-mill of misery and woe. These gentlemen may do much to influence.the ; sentiment of the, State for so worthy a man. - ? . 'Gbov. We notice in the Mississippi State Journal, of the 7th, that Hon.

We do not believe it, nor shall we until that letter is-produced by the Herald. The spoltical, action of Gen. M. at his new home in Montana, as detailed by Mr. Sanders in 5Jii& letter to Gov.

That was not the first march the one armed hero had made to throw his weight in favor of the Union. He made his tramp as resolutely as he made others daring the War, and voted against the secret foes of the Republican Union just as he shot at its open nemie''.

Gen Grant and Xresident Jof"soj3.

That is Oenernl Ghaxt. 'Hie other writ himse'tf a hypocrite, an-1 in evry line of hia several letters to Gen. Gkinty .hat rays bis effort to olttain an ftdv.iataga.rTa-,, foul uolt." ITio plai straililliard shoulder, hitting of Gen.' Guaht, however, is too severe for his crafty adversary, who strikes and fallsi as cowards do in the prizo ling. The question discussed is this. . !.,-... ,, "The Presllont recognized the' validity of the Tenure-of Oftico act by suspending Secretary SriNTOs.. Ha aligned Gen., Grant to the p sition of Secretary of War An iMrEniM. When the Sensto of the United States decided that

the suspension of Secretary Stanton was illegal, t Gen. Giant, as a law abidiDK, citizen, promptly retired from an otOco whose functions he had no lawful right to-administer, and Secretary ; Stanton resumed . his lawful position. Tha President desired to use Gen. Grant as a tool to enable him to evade the law without responsibility to himself, while at tho same time 'Jen Grant should be seriously compromised with the country. Grant moved in a straight line, and the President's crooked plans were foiled. He then accused Grant of duplicity, and suborned several willing members of his Cabino to testify that Grant had made certain admissions, which Johnson distorted to apply U another set of circumstances. To complicate the case more thoroughly, .Johnson, after. Gen. Grant had retired from the ar Oihee, gave him VEi P.it instructions to d isiegard Secretary 5 StanMuiVi orders. This- aflorderorciea. uen. urani i ingly, January 24th, he requested the President to commit his orders toaching Gen. Grant and Secretary Stanton to- writing, so that he (Grant) should not be liable to any misunder- I standing. In making this request General U Grantsays.i ., - v. r i : I- in n wise admitted the correctness of the Pros- , ident's statement of our conversation, though to Soften the evident contradiction of my statement-, I said, j al'.udiijjr to our first conveisation on the subject, that i the fresidsut might hire nnderstood me thft rsy be -said, namelv, tiai I haJ promised to leeifxn if 1 did ; not resist the reiostatemnt. I itride no tuck ttit-- j menf. " '' ' : - As Johnson has .been repeatedly convicted j of falsifying, and,. Grant's word is as trusty as j his swoid, his simple denial in "the premises is ; sufficient for the American people. Johnson -j lima lwtraycd "everybody, who-has trusted him, and Grant his bsen true to all who hive relied upon .him. But after th s letter is another from Grant again asking for written instructions from Ike President, which the latter gave in the following endorsement' on Gen. Grant's note: ' "As requested hi this cemmunication. General Grant is instructed in writing tint to obey anv (rder from Hie War Department, anmed to hp issued by the dictation of the Preaidjnt, unless such . order is known by the General commanding the armios of the Onitad ' States to tsave ben nthorized by the Executive. . Andrew JorniMN. January C'.', 1S53." ; ' Upon receiving this. General Grant replied to the Pre-i lent: - - ,r . : ... -. t ... f'l nm infmumtd by t'aa Serrretary f'f War that ho has not reeoive l froci flie Executive anror-lor or instructions limiting or .impairing his authority - to issue orders to the army, us has heretofore been Ids practice end. r the law and rustoms nf the department.

I the honor tv. very rospacU'uIlv, vour obedient ssrrlmt, " U. S. Ghant, General." Wliereupon the Presideiitj in a long letAsr repoats the story of the New York World Kid the Washington Intelligencer organs of '.he President that. Gen. Grant had promised to hold on to ths War Office Until Johnson Had circumvented the law, and usserts that noon reading his notes of the interview upon tsiiat subject between Gen. Grant and the" Present to the four members ol his Cabinet, they haJ concurred in the substantial correctness of tho President's representations, that Grant had promised as set forth. To this Gen. Grant replies that he linds the President's note ' but a reiteration, sojuewli-.t more in detail, of the many and gross misrep resentations contained '.?n these ; articles, and! which my; statement ot lacts, .set forth in my letter of the 24lh ult., was intended . tQ correcc; and herein I reassert the corree'm-Ks of my statements in that letter, any thing in your reply to the contrary notwithstanding.'-' Some of our polite cotetnporaries referring to this passage, say that it merely raises "a question of veracity'' between "General Grant and tho President-. As we interpret, it is merely a clever way ot saying 'Andrew .lounson you area liar, and you mre only erdeavoring to sneak ont of a scrape at my expense." The conclusion of this correspondence, however, is so direct and manly that we publish 'it entire. Gen. Grant proceeds to say to the President . "TUe President, hiiwever,' instead of aecentinc: bit iew of -the requirements ot tha Tenure-ol-0:Iice bill, ' contended he had suspended Mr. Stanton under an- jthority fciven by tae Constitution, and that the same j authority did not preclude him from reporting, as an act ot courtesy, his reasons for the suspension to "the ! Senate : that 'bavins: been appointed under authority j given by the Constitution, and not under the act of : Congress, 1 couta no De governed oj tne aci. "I stated that that law was binding on me, Consti- ! totional or not, until set: aside by thp proper tribu- : "An hour was consumed, each reiterating: his views on this subject, until, gettinar late, the JJresi- . dent said fie ttoiUii see me again. 1 did do1 agreo to j call again on Monday nor any other detinito time, : nor was 1 sent for by the President '..until the follow- i iDg Tuesday. Upon this point "the President said he would see 3 mesm, is basea tno wnoie ciaim or the President that. General .Grant had promised to comply with his wishes by 'holding on to the j omcc un!U ne tne rresiaent, j couia cnecKmate -the law by evading it. Grant's straightforward j way of obeying the law conlused and check- j mated the 'crafty President. " Gen. Grant also pays that he had no commur.ication director i. indirect, with Mr. Stanton, up to this time,

but as the name ot Lren yjox, or uno, naa ; State. been recommended for ecretary'of War, both A b;u to create an Indian Department he and Gen.

omitted. This little point illustrates how John- J son had packed a panel of cunning lawyers to f entrap the plain soldier in a form oi words to f promote the law-violating scheme he.was ensays to the President : V,""J- " ? - "You know that we parted, on the l!th ult., f without any promise on my part, expressed or 1 irnolied. that I would ho!d on to "the tfHce off Secretary of War ad interim against the action of the Senate, or, declining to do so, would surrender it to you before such action was had, or that I would see you again at aay fixed time on the subject. The perforinince of the promises alleged to have been made by me would have involved a resistance of the law, and an inconsistency with the whole history of my connection with tho suspension ol Mr. .Stanton. From our conversation and my .written protest of August 1, 1867, against the removal of Mr. Stanton, you must have known that my greatest objection to his removal was tha fear tnat some one would be appointed in his stead who would, by opposition toShe laws relating to the restoration of the Southern States to their proper ielation to the Government, emban ass the army in the pertormance ol tne duties especially imposed upon it by the laws, and that it was to prevent such an appointment that I accepted the appointment of Secretary of War ad interim and not for the purpose of enabling you to get rid of Mr. Stanton by withholding it from him in opposition to law, or, not doing -so myself, surrender to one who, as the statement and assumption in your eommn-

nication plainly indicates, was sought ; and it was to avoid this danger, as well as to relieve ! you from the personal embarrassment in which Mr. Stanton's jeinstateim-nt would place you, tli at I urged the appointment of Governor Cox, U'lieving it would Ikj agreeable to you, and also to Mr. StantOD, satisfied as I was, that it was the good of the eminlry and nut the oiiio the latter desired. "On the 13th ult., in the presence of Gv'neral fJhorman; I stated to you that I thought Mr. Stanton would , resign, but did not say I would advise him to do so. On the 18th, I did not agree with General Sherman to go and advise him' to that course, and on the 19th I had an "fntervlew"wrth Mr. Stanton, which led me to the conclusion that any advice would be useless, and so informed General Sherman. Before I consented to advise Mr. Stanton to resign, I understood from him, in conversation upon the subject immediately on his reinstatement, that it was his opinion that the act of Conrrress, entitled "an aet temporarily to sup

ply vacancies in the Executive Departments in certain cases," approved February 0, lbbJ, was repealed by subsequent legislation, wnicn latter influenced my action. Previous to this time I had no doubt that the law of 1803 was ! still in force aud notwithstanding my action, a j full examination of the law leaves a question in my mind whether it is oris not repealed. This being the case I could not now advise his resignation, lest the same danger I apprehended on the tirst removal might follow. The course you understood I agreed to pursue was in violation of law and orders from you, while the course 1 did pursue, and which I never doubted you fully understood, was in accordance with law. and not in disobedience to any orders of my superior. . "And now Mr. President, when my honor as n cntlinr onil intpfritv nS ft'tnan has been SO VI olently assailed, pardon me for saying that I cannot but i regard this whole matter, from be ginning to end, as an attempt to involve me in the resistence of the law. for which you hesi tated to assume the responsibility, in order thus to destroy my character before the coun try. I am in a measure, confirmed in this con clusion by your recent orders directing me to disobey orders from tho Secretary of War, my superior and your subordinate, without counter manding his authority to issue tuo oraers i am io obey.
