Campbell can find no eulogsts at home,
but must go abroad where he is necessarily
unknown. The Gazette has had but little
opportunity of knowing anything about
Judge Campbel's qualifications, except
through the Pennsylvania, the only demo-
cratic paper in Philadelphia that supports
him, and as the editor of that paper de-
nounced Judge Campbell as unfit, when he
was appointed to his present station, we
presume his endorsement will not amount
to much.
The Gazette of the 9th ult., which we
did not see until our return from Phladel-
phia, says that the democratic opposition
TO Judge Campbell is limited to few who
envy his success and talents. Now we
have only TO say that the charge is wholly
without foundation. What we say, and
have said of Judge Campbell, is mostly
from our own personal observation, and
knowledge of the facts. We are pretty
we'll acquainted in Philadelphia, and have
spent not less than two months there, since
Judge Campbell's nomination. We have
made almost daily inquiries in regard TO
him. These inquiries were made from
business men, mechanics, merchants, manu-
facturers, lawyers, &C., men who are not
politicians by trade, which is the case with
every one of Judge Campbell's endorsers,
and we boldly assert that out of large
number of democrats thus referred to, we
found but two who intended to vote for
| him. The Gazette should not therefore
presume TO talk about such matters and
make such charges unless more fully in.
formed. Our assertions will be backed by
no less than 5000 or 10000 democratic
votes which Judge Campbell will loose in
the City and County of Philadelphia
We repeat that Judge Campbell has thus
far failed 10 get single member, of any
character or standing, connected with the
Phladelphia Bar, that would endorse his
qualifications for the office. The charge
of Judge Campbel's incompetency is not
recent thing. He has always been consid-
cred as a weak and inefficient Judge. For
the truth OF this, we appeal 10 the whole
community in which he resides We have
never said any thing against bls private
character, and we are prompted by no mo-
tive whatever, except that of the public
good, in our opposition to his election, and
we presume no sane man will ever accuse
us of being actuatcd by personal crmity.
C. The contest at the elections in this
County on Tuesday next will be warm,
and we presume the turn out will be as it
should be, good one. Col. Bigler whose
worth and qualifications are well apprecia-
ted by all true democrats, will therefore
receive one of the old fashioned majorities.
The contest for Senator will result in a
handsome majority for DR.. Heck, whose
popularity at home, speaks well for his
character as a man and politician.

handed to US by friend of MIR. Weaver,
requesting US at the same time TO inquire
into the facts. We did so, and must do
