that the Star, a supporter Of Gen. Scott, AM
published at Campbells home would forge
letter from Campbell, and that too right un
der his nose! Such a suppositiOn is mon
strously absurd
We have p0sitire prOgf that the extrac
we publish above, is from the Lebanon Star
A gentleman Of unimpeaChablc cbapcter
and who was many years citizen Of Lebanon
Ohio. now Of this place. informs us that h'

paper The WITNESS is HERE, and WI
defy the whole combination Of tricksters Il
prove us wrong The gentleman to whom
we refer, isa Wing and an honest man and i
it is necessary we can give his name. Try
again ye enemies Of the South. SCOTT il
an ANTI-SLAvE law candidate and your false
dispatches will prove him nothing else
The Wing presses may cry out thai
the Washington Union is guilty Of forgery
and falsehood. They may exhaust all the
opprobrious epithets of the English language
and then complain that there are no more to
use. And WI, q is the ground on which they
make this chafse? There has been sent pri.
Vately through the country a dispatch, pur-
porting to be from L. d. Campbell to the edi-
tors Of the National IntelIigencer The dis
patch reads thus:
HAMILTON Ono, October 18th 1852.
Editors National Intelligencer The
publication in the Union " Of Tuesday the
18th inst, over my name, declaring General
Scott for the repeal Of the Fugitive slave law.
is base forgery. Inever wrote or published
such circular.
LEWIS d. CAMPBELL.
This is printed on a small piece Of paper
and sent to Wing editors that they may in
their last issues before the election publish it
with flourish Of trumpets and seemingly
without the possibility Of denial but such
things sometimes get into the wrong box, and
enable others to show up the trickery Of par
tizan warfare.
And who is Lewis d. Campbell A vile
abolitionist warm supporter Of Gen. Scott
10 show him in his true colors. VIC quote the
following from his letter
HAMILTON, October, 1850.
DEAR SIR have just received yours Of
the 1Ith. I have an important suit to attend
to in the United States court at Columbus,
and | have been written to that | must be
there to try it the latter part Of next week Il
would give me the greatest pleasure to attend
the meeting at Wilmington, but | cannot for
this reason. AS 20 the fugitiye-slave law, /
condemn and denOunce it on all occasions. |
am against its iniquitous and unjust provisions
and all men who sustain it. 1t is the greatest
outrage ever perpetrated upon liberty. /
would trample il under foot. have no right
TO dictate to others; but as for myself / say |
will utterly disregard its obligations, and will
never cease my opposition until it is wiped
from our statute-books. This is the position
| took in the few speeches made before the
election and, in maintaining it hereafter, |
shall not stop to enquire what effect my course
will have upon my success as a politician.
Political successes have no charm for me when
purchased Al the sacrifice Of justice and right. "
Very truly, yours.
LEWIS ID. CAMPBELL.
Men Of the South, the fayorite Of such men
as Lewis d. Campbell, the especial nominee Of
Seward, Greely and other higher law men, is
GEN. WINFIELD SCOTT. Can you be
SO blind to your interest as to place the gov
ernment Of your country into such hands /!
Can you risk your rights under the Consti-
the very Constitution itself with
the enemies Of the South.
Rejected by many prominent men Of his
own party, and his supporters North defying,
execrating and splitting upon the platform Of
principles; partizan blindness must be dark
indeed when Southern men will support him.
Though the impotent attempt to prove
forgery will scarcely warrant gravity, we
would ask in all candor why is the L. ID.
Campbells denial published privately, and
sent to the Wing editors printed on small
piece Of paper? How could those small
pieces Of paper get here, by mail, before the
National InteIigencer itself? The whole
il done to get Scott votes by miserable insinu-
alton Of trickery on the part Of The democracy.
From certain indications in the political sky, /
we have no doubt but what our neighbOr Of
