FOX'S SPEECH AT WILLIAMS
BURG. Oar room forbids us from pub
lishing tbe entire speech ot H. C.
Fox, Esq., delivered at Williams
burg, week before last, and we take
the latter part of it, which will well
repay the reader for the persual.
We are told by oar adversaries,
that tbereis bat little difference bo
tween the the principles advocated
by the contending parties. This may
be the tpparant aspect, but there
is an undercurrent o( great and
important issues: issues affecting
tbe whole country. It is the old
Gght over again between Republi
canism and Democracy, between
right and wrong. The Republican
hosts have rallied under the same
old flag that waived over tbem
when they "proclaimed liberty
throughout all the land, and to the
inhabitants thereof;" while the De
mocratic legions have unfurled
new colors, changed their base,
and have tempted a "leader out of
Israel" to rule over them, and al
though they have now and then
added to their ranks, a deserter
ftom the Union lines, it is still tbe
rank and file of the old Democratic
party that we are to conquer, not
withstanding the assertions to the
contrary, of such patriots as Hor
ace Davis, Jefferson Greeley, Alex
ander II. Brown, Geo. W. Stevens
and B. Gra'z Julian. It may be,
that I am a .little confused in the
use of these names, but to use the
language of Mr. Julian, 'there is a
bewilderment about our politics at
the present time that is apt to pros
duco confusion. It makes bat
little difference however, as they
are now all "crows of the same
nest."
Liberal Republicans proclaim,
that the Democrats have acknowl
edged the errors of their ways,
"confessed their iniquity, and tbe
iniquities of their fathers;" that
they ' have experienced a ''change
of heart" and "been born aeain."
For this the Republican party
should congratulate itself, fori
has loog "reasoned of rigMious
ness, temperance and judgment to
come, to tuts now treajiJitn" Felix,
and if thereby, a conversion has
been truly 'wrought, a great work
has been accomplished, and the
Republican party has gone a long
way in performing ' its . mission."
If our Democratic friends have
embraced the true faith, and "es
caped the corruption, which is in
the world through lust," let us re
joice as over a sinner that repent.
etb, giving them the friendly ad
monition, to add to their "faith
virtue, and to their virtue knowl
edge, and to knowledge temper
nee."
The Republican party stands un
changed. It has been weighed in
tne Diuanee and not found want
ing. It advocates the principles
of its infamy and has no need of
change, for the principles it to
early embraced were jast and right,
BE JUST AND FEAR NOT
RICHMOND,
and principles never change." They
are the same ' "yesterday, 1 to day
and forever,4' As immutable as
God himself from whom they ' all
emanate. The principle, that "all
men are born free and equal," was
rig tit a thousand years ago and
will be a thousand years hence,
time and ' Circumstances ' cannot
change it. Principles are not cre
ated; they may be embraced and
then "abandoned, but they remain
unchanged; and when a political
party is compelled by common ex-,
perlenue and the 'march of events,'
in order to be successful,--to aban
don the principles it has advocated'
and embrace others, it neither' de
stroys nor creates, but plainly cOn
fesses, that those abandoned were
wrong as applied to the affairs of
men.' i- . & i i ; (
The DemScratic party pretend?,
that it has abandoned the princi
ples to which it has so long adher
ed, and is now ostensibly advocat
ing those upon which tbe Republi
can party has acted from the first.
The Democratic party now claims
to recognize 'as true, the-great
principle, that "all men are equal
before the law,', that it is the duty
of government, to mete out equal
and exact justice to all, of what
ever 'nationality, iace, color br
persuasion, religions or political."-
This principle has been cardinal
with the Republican party 'from
its youth up." It now acknowledges
the great truth of universal eman
cipation, that all men have a right
to be free, that human slavery is
an abomination and a curse. For
this the Republican party has bat
tied for years. It now gives its ad
herence to the principles contain
ed in the thirteenth, fourteenth and
fifteenth - constitutional amend
ments, and pledges Itself to oppose
the 'reopening of the questions
therein settled. These are the
works of Republican hands. It
renounces tbe dogmn of secession,
and pledges itstlt -to maintain the
union of States." From the begin
ning tbe Republican party has
taught."lhat it is the highest doty
of every American citizen to main
tain, against all its enemies, the in
tegrity of the Union."
. These are strange doctrines to
come from the Democratic party.
Let us hope that they are honestly
taught; if they are, tbe party may
yet be redeemed, for I do not be
lieve in tbe doctrine of total de
pravity, and if there is any redeem
tion for Democratic sinners it is in
the imitation and practice of Re
publican virtues; therefore let us
say to our Democratic brethern,
you have started in the right di
rection, "be ye steadfast and "re
member Lot's wife." Bnt when I
come to examine the record of this
party my faith is shaken as to the
ability and disposition of its num
bers to hold out in the great work.
When I turn back a few pages in
their history, I find emancipation
opposed and slavery upheld, I find
secession advocated and traitors
defended, and when I ask, why
wbat is all this ? tbey answer me
and say : yes, we know that snch is
our history; we have done all this
and more, but these are "dead is
sues" and must bo forgotten. "Let
the dead past bury its dead," we
are changed, Greeley, Brown fe Co.
"have put a head on us," and we
arc liberal Republicans now, yon
know. .
It is not strange, that the Demo
cratic party should - strive to bury
its past and write its epitaphs in
the words, "dead issues,,' for the
D'-raocralio past, is as a "whited
sepulchure full of dead men's bones
and all uncleanlincss.". It is a past
not to be forgotten, for ."ihe evil
that men do live after them.'' The
past is the great fountarn of prac
tical knowledge. It is tbe furnace
in which men and parties are test
ed- In It the Democratic party
has been tried and the baseness of
its metal proven. Tbe Republican
party has been submitted to the
test and has come forth as gold
tried in the fire, and to-day, it
stands pointing proudly to the re
cord of its deeds in the past and
saja: "Beheld the work, of my
bands." It has done no act to
which it now points in shame and
calls a "dead issue," and begs the
world to forget. It does not seek
to "turn its back upon the past,"
but the principles it has always
defended are great "living issues"
and so will always be. Herein the
Republican strangly contrasts with
the Democratic party, the former
stands by its record and its plat
forms in the past, proving "its faith
by its works;" the latter deserting

its colore, renouncing Its principles
and history, and "teaching strange
doctrines." ' Choose ye whom ye
will serve." ..The Republican par
ty points you to the past as a guar
anty of its sincerity, the Democrat
ic party points you to the future
and gives you naked promises and
pledges, while its history gives the
lie to every promise that it makes

man of business for a position of

said to him, sir It appears that youf

victed of enormous crimes, howsirn
yon be trusted ? Would It be any
answer for him to say," I know I
have, been guilty of these things,
but let us consider them "dead is-'
sues," I promise you in the future
I will do your bidding and become
honest ? This is liow the attitude
of the Democratic party. It is ask
ing to be entrusted with the import
ant affairs of the nation and wants
its past forgotten. When its char
acter is questioned, it gives as , fe
feieices such' names as Davis,
Vorhees, Toombs, Morrisey, Ju
lian and tbe like. When "its integ
rity is doubted it refers us to Hor
arce' Greeley and Tammany Hall.
I have spoken of the opposition
and designated it as the Democrat
ic party, for such it is. It may be
called by another name, "but names
Cannot .alter . . the substance of
things." It is hard to see the f'Ct
nes?" ?when an old ' time Democrat
iscalle l Liberal Republican. You
may clothe an ass in o lion's skin,
but the nature of tbe animal is not
changed thereby, it is an ass still.
Mr. Greeley and Mr. Brown were
regularly nominated by. and are
tne accepted candidates of tbe De
mocratic party, are supported by
Democrats, and if elected, Demo
cratic votes mast do it, and who
ever says differently, . to use the
words of Mr. Greeley, is a "liar, a
villian, and a horsethief."
Bat we are reminded, . that the
Cincinnati Convention was a convo
cation of Uberal Republicans, that
tbe nominees of tbat Convention
are Republicans. Judas Iscariot
was one of the twelve Apostles un
til "he communed with the chief
priests and captains how he might
betray hi3 master unto them." Af
ter he had done this, Judas, evi
dently co longer considered lim-
self one of the chosen twelve, for
he went and hanged himself. Mr.
Greeley, however, is not so modest,
tor after giving his master the
Republican party the betrayal
kiss, he receives his 'thirty pieces'
at the hands of the Democratic
part in the shape of a nomination
for tha Presidency, tnd then coolly
informs Mr. Doolittle. as a tidal
wave of emotion overwhelms him,
that "the time will come, and I
trust in God the opportunity too,
when the world will see, that you
are co less a Democrat because you
have pursued the course you have,
and, that I am bo less a Republi
can because I accept your nomina
tion." Here is his confession,
tbat he considers himself the Re
pcbl.can nominee of tha uure
generated Democracy. Mr. Gree
ley as a liberal Republican is a
great success. Such liberality a3
he exhibits is unsurpassed; indeed
so extravagant is his liberality,
that the people will hart'ly deem it
safe to entrust him with the man
agement of national affairs, but
will conclude that it will be better
for him to remain and learn to be
more economical in politics in his
retirement at Chappsqua, he being
now too far: advanced in years to
"go West, and grow up with the
country.'
i
We are told that the Cincinnati
Convention adopted a platform es
sentially Republican; but this pla -
- form is "only a badge and cot a
' faith," a new pretense and not a belief.-
The object of this convention,
. and the character of the men com
posing it,I think are now pretty well
understood. In it were men from
all the political parties in the land
while tbey represented none. It
was a gathering of "a great multi
tude of impotent folk, of blind,halt,
withered; waiting for the moving
' of th5 waters." A meeting for the
purpose of inflating and vitalizing
political mummies. Disappointed
office seekers and broken-down
politicians formed a large majority
of those who were here gathered
together in council. Each had his
particular grievance to throw into
the general heap, and the whole
formed a conglomeration of mis
ery and distress seldom if ever
witnessed.
What did .those who assetn bled
in this convention do ? They pre
pared an address, in which the
President is arraigned as a tyrant
and his administration denounced
as corrupt. They preferred gen
eral and sweeping charges which in
every instance have been proven
false. " Tbey'adopted a platform of
resolutions, in which they" admit as
correct, all that ' the Republican
party has done and advocated and
pledge themselves to do in the fu
tare -what '.he Republican party
has done in tbe past. This is what
Mr. Julian calls "coming out of the
grave yard of dead issues" but
as he and his Democratic friends
come but of this grave yard they
bring their' coffins with them, and
there is - withall, such5 a' smell ef
d ead m en's bon cs about th emy th at
tbe people will think.lhat the grave
yard is" their" proper abiding place
and will send them back, where
they may gnash their teeth in soli-'
tude and exclaim in the bitterness
of their 8nguish,u Oh grave where
is thy victory." -.e ' ' "
When the 'Liberal' Republican
party attained its growth at Cin
cinnati, it began conrting the .De
mocratic party, and this, courtship
ended in a most shameful fornica
tion in which a child was begotten,
which ot Baltimore, like Richard
the Third, "was sent into the world
before its time ". scarce half made
up." It proved to be a political
hunchback andthe fond parents
were not altogether pleased t with
their ; offspring. It needed pro
tection and they were not "pro
tectionist!'," they however conclud
ed to "support '!," so they named
it Horace Greeley and . consoled
themselves with th thought, that
it would do for the "anything"
with which to beat Grant. K
This cry of "anything to beat
Gram" is the shriek of dispair.and
strikes no terror into the Republi
can ranks; lor the Democratic can
didate himself has assured us, that
"Gen. Grant never was defaated
and never will be." -Victory has
always beea on his side, and to-day
he has marshalled around him the
great Republican Army, thirty
five hundred thousand strong, and
is marching onto the granrst
victory of his life. This army
saved the nation and will preserve
it. It is steady tramp, tramp,
tramp, the soul of John Brown is
marching on. ., It is the great army
of liberty and reform. All its vic
tories have Lcen in behalf of the
right. It has forged no fetters but
has broken many.; .
The Republican party has noth
ing to forget, it may forgive. It
cannot forget the past; for to this
party the past is a crown of glory,
while to its adversaries it is a
crown of thorns. - We cannot for
get those who died that the coun
try might live. The blood they
shed was the purchase price of a
measureless benediction to the peo
ple. .If we forget them God may
forget us and compel us to drink of
the bitter waters of adversity.
They will, not be forgotten, but
around loyal hearts, memories of
them will ever cling and cluster.
They will live in history, s'oiy and
song, for all time to ccrae. The
stars are shining on their graves
tc-night as dreamless they "sleep
the sleep that knows no waking."
On many a battle ficld.these heroes
went -"down into tbe valley and
shadow of death;" this the wotld
may know, but it can never know
the tear that fell and the hearts
tbat bled at their "taking off."
"Green be the turf that wraps their
clay," and green be their inemo
ries in the hearts of their country
men. The same old flag under
which thoy died i again unfurled
at the head of the column, and it
will sutfvr no dishonor at our
hands, for the Stars and Stripes
are the crown jewels of the Repub
lican party.

From tha 5c w Castle Courier v .
' - nepotism; ;
i. -
. ' One of the principal items in
the Liberal stock in trade is
"Grant's Nepotism." No 'Liberal'
speecu would be complete without
it and we have yet to hear of one
that omits it. Mr. Geo. W. Jnlian
said at Spiceland: '-The Presi
dent regards the patronage of his
office as a family perquisite-." Ju
lian's. Radical which seems to fear
neither God or man; has done.' its
full share in keeping up the howl
on this subject. Now we propose
to bring this charge of nepotism a
little nearer home, even at the risk
of being charged by our own dear
friend with betraying our "sneak
ing nature by prying into the pri
vate affairs of Mr. Julian."? -
j We find .the-following 'list -of
relatives to have been helped to
office by the aid of Geo, ' W. Ju
lian. . . ' - : ' ' '. '- .
Nepotism No. 1. I. H.' Julianj
brother of Hon. G. W. made post
master, at Centreville;

W.'s brother is made Assistant
Collactor of Internal Revenue. :
Nepotism No. 4. ' I. II. Julian',
a brother of G. W. J., is made
postmaster at Richmond, by far
the best P. O. in his district.
Nepotism No. 5. Major Isaac-Kio-
ley, cousin of G. W.Julian, is made
Provost Marshal tor the 5th dis
trict, one of the most In crative
and important offices in his gift. -
Nepotism No. 6. George W.
Julian urged the appointment of
bis brother, Hon, J. B. Julian, for
Judge of the U S. District Court
vice Judge White deceased, dur
ing Mr. Lincoln's administration.
Nepotism No. 7. J. 1$. Julian, a
brother, was again urged " upon
Gea. Grant for same position
upon the death of Judge Mc
Donald.
Nepotism No. 8 "When I.H.
Julian resigned the postotfiee. at
Centreville G. W. J. secured the
place for asister-in law.
Nepotism No. 9 Andrew John
son removed said sister in-law, but
upon the election ol Gen. Grant G.
W. Jalian secured the place for a
mother-in-law.
Nepotism No. 10. Cyrus Widup,
a Brother-in-law, was secured a
govern menial clerkship by Mr. Ju
lian. Nepotism No. 11. Edward Ju
lian, a son ol Geo. W. Julian, was
given a clerkship- .
Nepotism No. 12. John fc Ju
lian, Esq., a nephew, was secured
a clerkship in ono of the depart
ments, by bis uncle, G. W. Ju
lian. This, we believe is only a partial
list. Of the merits of the appoint
ees and those sought to be secur
ed a "soft place" we have but little
to say. One or more of them we
highly approve of, while in several
instances we suppose the recipients
of favor had no merit except re
lationship above that of the com
mon herd, and were appointed
merely because our honorable M.
C. believed the "public patronage
within bis control was a personal
perquisite.'
Gen. Grant Las about 80,000
(Julian says CO.COO) offices in his
contiol and has bestowed but nine
ol then: on relations, counting a
brother of his . wife's brother.lu
law and a second or third cousin
of Mrs. Grant and two postmas
ters, (first elected by tbe people)
among that number. -
It is estimated that Mr.- Julian
had the distribution of virtual con
trol or near 200 offices and gives
12 of them to bin relatives. 'Grant's
nepotism" has induced him to be
stow upon his relatives one oiScc
in 8,888, Julian's nepotism more
than one in 17.
Grant's per cent.' of nepotum
.0001.
Julian's percent. 6
All the ' complaint " we have to
make in the premises is that the
Hon. George W. Julian arid his
blow hard Sancho Panza have not
common disci etioa enough to re
frain trom throwing stoucs while
they reside in such excedingly frail
glass tenements.
I cannot concieve how any one
who periled his life for the preser
vation of tbe Union under Gen,
Grant and our gallant military and
naval commanders can give his
support to Mr. Greeley, who was
willing to see it dissolved without
striking a blow to save it". John

Greeley or the Democratic party
U'cannotbelieve in as trustworthy
and therefore gives' in its allegi
ance to the Philadelphia nomina
tion in terms sufficiently ."cool and
unenthusiastic to suit that inter

Here is the ; Atlantic's moderate
summing up ' after , its - balancing
comparison: A --f 11
"With President' Grant, the
country has. at least an aasurancd
of tranquility,. It will not be lifted
to a state of perfection, but it will
incur no new peril '"The .adminis
tration, of Grant will make no rash
experiments on our finances and
our ; dangerously ' expanded cur
rency.; The public credit will be
safe. The country will have seen
rity from foreign wars, filibuster
ing attempts," and domestic ' vio
lence.' The constitutional office of
the President will , remain intact,
to be t used to protect the public
credit and Treasury 4 from hostile
legislation 5 ; and the' boundless
oouinern. . claims t. growing out of
the war. .Reconciliation will be
established on the only ' possible
terms, submission to " equal . lawe.
There will . be tbat t public ; confi
dence which is requisite to the ex
panded trade and credit of civili
zation," and which is a vital need in
our financial currency and banking
situation ; and the country will
have as much currency reform,
tariff reform, and civil service re
form ' as Congress and popular
opinion will support."
Horace Greeley in 1ST I.
' Mr. Greeley's record has made
him any amount of trouble, but
now a reference to the files of the
Tribune bring to light something
so spacific and applicable to the
position now occupied, by Mr.
Greeley that no explanation can
break its force. The tlrtbuno of
August 18tb, 1871, says:
' The ' personal views of Mr.
Greeley are exactly these. lie
favors the one term principle, and
believes that another . Republican
candidate can bo selected who will
encounter less opposition and win
more support than General Grant;
and he therefore : advocates such
selection; but should his views be
over-ruled, and General Grant
be nominated, he holds his elec
tion ibfinately preferable to any
candidate whom the Democrats
may nominate; for a Democratic
triumph, involves the return to
power of the great mass of those
who for years plotted tbe disrup
tion of our ; Union, and at length
forced the Southern States into
secession and rebellion.
A Democratic triumph involves
the ascendency of those who hate
the nation's creditors, because
their money po vers 1 fully con
tributed to the overthrow of the
rebellion, and will find a way to
cheat them, if possible. . A Demo
cratic triumpth involves the sub
version of protection to home in
dustry, with a repetition of the
wide spread disasters and distress
which have repeatedly and, natur
ally followed such overthrow. The
"personal views of Mr. Greeley"
led him to deprecate a Democratic
national triumph, as one of the
gravest national calamities.
In regard to tbe statement going
the rounds of the press about Hon.
Will C. Moreau having been dis
honorably discharged from the U.
S. Service, it is bat justice to state
that he was discharged by a field
order and not by a court martial,
and tbathe has asked for a court
martial and still demands it, be
lieving that by this meana he will
be justified. , ;

Hon. fi. F. Parks, in bis-epeech
at Dubuque Iowa, thus referred to
the charge of? Drunkcness "made
gamst Grant by tbe more un
scrupulous or bis enemies : ;
As an instance of the manner in
which the,, infernal sleuth 'hounds
are. pursuing vienerat Oram, uie
New York World, at an open ex
pense of 8200, sent one' of its " bo
h cm fan correspondents Jths-Urtbcr
'day to Galena to hont among the
slums and sink-holes of tbatjTOcky
little mineral city,; the late home
of the' President, to , find if there .
was not some whisky , bills i of Jtha
General . unpaid some instance cf
intoxication twelve or fifteen years
ago, to spread before th Ameri
can people. . He hanted indus
triously.' He could find nothing.
He 'did" find but that; Grant was
never known-to take a drink of
liquor while living at Galena. The
World's Bohemian tried to wriggle
something out of the saloon keep
ers in tbat line against the Gener
al. "They were mostly Democrats,
but to their honor and credit, be it
said, not one single thing could be
found,' and not one of them would
invent anything to please him. On
the contrary, the Bohemian, found
out' that General Grant, in the
circle in which he moved and was
known and 1 ad tho reputation of
being singularly, temperate and
abstemious. So much , for that
slander. It is like the balance of
tbe charges. "The trail of tha
arpent is over it all.
Greeley's Equal Rights.
In tho first sentense of his
speech at Louisville, Mr. Greeley
exclaimed :
"Standing on this soil of Ken
tucky, I askycu "who are my as
sociates in ine great Liberal move
ment of the day, to bear testimony
with rne to certain troths ? First
is it not true that we desire a gov
ernment of just and equal laws,
which shall extend equal favor
and equal 'protection to every
American citizen?"
Acts speak louder than words,
and Mr. Greelev'a challpncro iatrwp.
ly answered, not by the cries of
the public at Louisville, "That's
so,', but only by the persistent re
fusal of the Democratic majority
of the people and legislature of
Kentucky, to give the "Negroes the
right to sit on juries, and for a
long time, also, the right to testify
in courts of justice in cases where
only whites were interested.- Ken
tucky, to-day, , because ruled by
Democrats, has not 'just 'and equal
laws.' extending equal favor and
equal protection to every Ameri
can citizen." And the mock
dramatie stump speech appeal of
Mr. Greeley, .being against the
facts, is a first-class farce played
by a first-clas clown. . ',
Henry Wilson, . Gen.: Wallace,
Gen. Webster, and I. don't know
how many more have given clear,
and direct testimony , as to Gen.
Grant's uniform habit of sobriety;
but I notice that Dr. Newman, who
has been cbanMn to the Sonata
for four years, and pastor of the
Metropolitan church of which Mrs.
Grant is a member, and where the
Piesident regularly attends public
worship, has also added his testi
mony. He e ays: i
"I have been tbe President's
pastor for three years, have had
access to bis house day and night
week day and Sunday.' I have
ined at his house and ho at mine.
1 have been with him at private
and public dinners I hare .just
spent a week at his cottage at
Long Branch, where he had fami
ly prayer twice a day. I assure
you tbat he is a sober, honest, true
man, fearing -God, loving the
church, and devoted to his coun
try's good.Whi)e at Long Branch
I went over carefully all the in
stances of intoxication whioh have
been published; in every instance
the facts proved the stories false.
