vindcang the late British attempt to wres from us ou'
fishing grounds.
Considerations OF public policy have moved US al
this time 10 this exposure OF the fact that for long years
past in lis course upon our international controversies
The oldest and the central organ OF the whg party has
forfeited all claim TO be regarded in spirit American
journal II is good at this time for the country to note
the fact We respect professional proprey and personal
decorum much 10 follow their example, and TO speak

know them and their course OF old and that on hi oeca
sion we shall be prompt to denounce H. Long enough
have we endured at their hands the false charge OF look
ing with complacency or encouragement upon ntracons
of the law of nations or the law OF the land II is time
this thing should stop Ii is time, moreover, that the
only press in this country which. tor than quar-
ter of century has with unbroken consistency, taken
sides with foreign governments against the United States
in every controversy should for very shame now cease
to urge as an objection General Pierce that his election
is desired BY the only class OF British statesmen who
have any claim to be considered The friends OF free in
situations Were he really the British candidate" he
would have no siauncher friend than the National Intel
iigencer. The accident OF British birth is not crime
but when il is accompanied in leading American jour
nal by settled tendency and current OF British sympa-
thies it should al least induce both caution in their ndu
gence and moderation in the OF those who do
the duty Of standing by the cause OF the

The Republic and the inisHgeney have both failed L
reinforce their ambiguous elegraphc denial OF the au
henciy OF Campbells circular. by any additional evil
dences OF its counterfeit character The conviction has
settled upon the public mind that Campbell did write the
language attributed TO hmdd say that General Scott Is
with him the slavery question. and would sign an ac'
TO repeal the fugitive slave law; but whether IN crcu'
lar, letter, or address, is still subject OF dispute
In this same circular the Hon. Mr.. Campbell assures
his free soil friends that General Pierce is given over to
slavery and slave hunters The first document issued by
the Wing Central Committee published at the Office
OF the abolition paper OF this cythe National Era-and
was made up OF extracts from its columns. II was eni-
tied "A Brief Chapter in the Lie of General franklin
Pierce" II appeared from the certificate OF Mr. Thomas
J. Galt the superintendent OF the folding that the
Hon. Lewis d. Campbell circulated among his consu-
three thousand five hundred numbers OF this docu-
ment. From this document we take the following ex-
tract:
.swe have completed the record OF MI Pierce in the
House during the time he held seat in
the House OF Representatives he was an earnest thorough,
consistent opponent of antislavey agitation and anti
slavery discussion that he constantly arrayed against
Mr. Adams, the lustrious champion OF the right Of petit
zion that, while reco Rnising the technical right petition,
he uniformly voted virtually 10 abogate that when the
Shareholders attempted crush Mr. Adams, aud with him
the hope OF free d ussion the House, he would not
vote so that venerable fair hearing in
word that he unwavering ally and supporter Of the
slavehoding interest
g In the year 1887 Mr. Pierce became member OF the
United States Senate Following him thither, shall
find that he continued the same line OF policy IN
relation slavery question lie took his stand by the
side of Mr. Calhoun and stood by him in his efforts to sup
press anti-savery agitation and discussion"
Now, it will be observed that the Hon. Lewis d. Camp
bell endeavors 10 persuade his constituents to vote against
Gen. Pierce because he is the unwaverng ally and sup
porter of the slaveholdng interest :" is it not just and
logical them infer that be cammends General Scott be-
he is opposed to slavery and will approve the re-
peal of the fugitive slave law But this is not the only
point we wish TO make. The foregoing extract proves
the truth OF one oil the material avermens OF Campbelfs
disputed circular, viz his objection TO General Pierce on
account of his disposition to uphold slavery In view OF
these facts can any candid mind doubt the truth OF the
charge that Campbell has commended Scott account Of
his hostility to slavery and the fugtiye-slave law
Take all the circumstances OF the ease and The auEen
ITCHY OF the circular follows irresistible inference.

Campbell and Greeley are right Their intimacy with
