terrupted with applause
Hon. JAMES CAMPBELL, of Philadelphia,
was called upon to address the meeting He
commenced by stating that report had been put
in circulation that he was not anxious, or did not
desire, the election of the Democratic National
and State Tickets. Such report he said was
false in every particular, for he enlisted for
the cause and his efforts were and would con-
tinue to be for the advancement of the great
measures of the democratic party. The friends
of Gen. Scott in the northern states, he said,
were Gov. Seward of New York, Gov. Johnston,
of Penna., Vinton of Ohio, Greely of New York,
and their abolition associates, and if elected he
would be under the control and subject to the
advice of such men-men whose doctrines were
against the Constitution. and the Union. He
could not go for a man surrounded with such
foes Of our country. Higher law doctrines ne
yer could receive his support, and he was oppo-
sed to the Seward and Scott party that advocate
them. He exposed the Native Americanism of
Gen. Scott in all its naked deformity and proved
beyond the possibility of doubt that Gen. Scott
was dangerous to elevate to the Presden-
tial chair. Gen. Scott, said he, has occupied SO
many positions upon the subject of Naturaliza-
ton, has been vascllating to and fro in that re-
gard. much. as to render his nomination in
the words of whig, ''one not fit to be made. y.
Judge Campbell then spoke of FRANKLIN
PIERCE a statesman who, had shown re-
markable devotion to the Constitution of the
country and democratic principles. As
who had always avoided Office as one who pre-
ferred the happiness of the domestic hearth to
political honors. As man who had shown
himself to be champion for the cause of civil
and religious liberty in his native State And
for such a man he Judge c. said he could cast
his vote without murmur Judge Campbell
then vindicated Judge Woodward from the charge
of Native Amercanism and conclusiYely showed
that the charge was false, wicked and malicious
1t is the wings, said he, that charge him with
his, and when charge was made he desired
% know the character of the men who make it,
myself saw, said Judge c., the wings, after
he Philadelphia riots in 1874, walk to the polls
lrm in arm with the natives, and deposit the
ame ballot Such he could not trust would
lot believe. Col. Hopkins he knew to be a good
md competent man. Go then to the Polls, said
ndge c., and vote for your State ticket, and
lect them, and the wing party will give up the
residential contest. The democrat, said Judge
