The Issue,

when we learned that Lewis D. Campbell was an
abolitionist We answer the very intelligent gen.
tleman in the language of Campbell Note that
this fellow Campbell is elected to Congress in Ohio,
and is thorough Scott man. He issued an adj
dress to his constituents on the Goth July last,
which appeared in the Lebanon (Ohio) Star, a
free soil Scott paper. We give the following ex-
tract as we find it the Louisville TX. Y J. Times
1.-THE editor of the "Herald," published in
Wilmington, has made most unprovoked attack
upon me. If l had the disposition, l have not
the time now, without neglect of my official duties,
to reply through the press. AT as early day as
possible, after the adjournment Of Congress,
will give notice Of a meeting in Wilmington, at
which l will take occasion to defend myself and
General Scott { } from the aspersions which the
editor has attempted to cast upon our o. charac-
ters, and will attempt to show that he is either
hypocritical knave or a consummate ignoramus-
perhaps both. l have only to ask of my constitu-
ens and especially of those of them called t'Free
Sellers, " that, which, in their characteristic lbe-
rality they will readily grant-a hearing before
they make up their Judgment"
have been elected twice by FreeSoI voteS; l
am the REPRESENTATIVE OF FREE SOIL Primer
FILES; l know Gen. Scott to be with me on the
subject of Slavery; he is the FRIEND OF LIB
ERTY, Platform or no Platform; and if we can
muster votes enough in Congress to repeal the
Fugitive Slave law, as believe we can, IT is
WITHIN MY KNOWLEDGE THAT GEN
SCOTT WILL SIGN THE LAW Notso with
GEN. PIERCE, he is as completely sold to The
South, and to the DEALERS IN HUMAN FLESH AND
BLOOD, as ever FILLMORE or WEBSTER was I!
LEWIS d. CAMPBELL.
This distinguished member of Congress says
HE KNOWS THAT GEN. SCOTT.IS WITH
HIM ON THE SUBJECT OF SLAVERY =
That the reader may know what the views of this
gentleman on that subject are in which he as
serts that Gen Scott agrees with him. we give
the following exposition of them from his own
pen;

ssThe camp fires are burning, the people al
awake. On Tuesday evening we had a rousin
meeting at the Scott club room; addresses wer
delivered by Messrs. Tilden and Griswold. Th
former addressed himself to the Freesolers, an
demonstrated that the INTERESTS OF FREE
DOM DEMANDED of its friends the DEFEA
OF PIERCE, and that this could only be accom-
plished by the ELECTION OF SCOTT, the ma
who was their OWN CANDIDATE in 1885
when he was the same Winfield Scott he now i
Mr.. Tilden, mentioned in the above extract,
the gentleman who in a speech to the Free-soile
at Ravenna, Ohio, read a letter from Senate
Wade in which Wade said he had just had col

remarked that HE WOULD SOONER CUT OF
HIS RIGHT ARM THAN LEND IT TO tn
SUPPORT OF SLAVERY" Wade was fore.
at Washington to make sort of denial of hayir
written such a thing, and said that he had writ,
for his letter to prove by it that he did not, but
has never produced the letter. THE FACT tn
Tilden DID READ SUCH A DECLARATIo
FROM HIS LETTER to the meeting at Raven
has never been disapproved or denied.

GA few MODERN Freesoilers are endeavorlng
drive bargain and effect coalition with
Pierce pro slavery Democracy-a thing about
difficult to accomplish as for jackass to roar
lion, though covered with lions skin. Th'
are two serious obstacles to surmount. In the fl
place, there is not HONEST Freesoer alive, "
would not rather commit suicide than to give g
and comfort" to one WHOSE EVERY VOI
WORD, THOUGHT AND ACT mark the so
less, heartless doughface, the base TRAITt
TO FREEDOM. In the second place, the sh
Democracy intend to form no enhancing ALI,

ties.y
