Lewis D. COmpbell and his Assailants.

If there is one gentleman more distinguished
than another in Congress, who has fearlessly,
truly, and without ceasing, done his duty to
his constituents and the principles Of the North
that man is Lewis D. Campbell, Of Ohio and
vet We 6nd writer in the Cleveland Leader,
and another in the New York Tribune, speaking
Of him in disparaging terms, and limiting very
broadly that Mr.. Campbell is not true to the
North. Another writer in the Tribune spoke
of Mr.. Campbell as being at the Philadelphia
Convention, with platform which no North
ern man ought to be asked to stand upon. Mr.
Campbell has not been in Philadelphi at all,
and is now at his home in Butler county. All
these attacks find their way into the Locofoco
papers, and are sent forth to the world to work
an injury to one of the most active and true
men in the North. The Columbus Statesman,
copies from the Commercial disparaging article
in that paper, based upon the falsehOods of the
correspondent of the Tribune aud heads it with
large type, Lewis Campbell, Doughface. =
Gentlemen who profess to be anxious that the
North should stand a unit upon the question ol
Slavery extension, busy themselves in striking
down one of the most distinguished and true
men the Free States ever bad in Congress, and
supply poisoned arrows for the Hunker De-
mocracy to hurl at him. Such conduct is be-
vond expression, mean and contemplate, and
is sure to work injury to the anti Nebraska
cause in the free States. No man has labored
more assiduOusly than Mr.. Campbell, ever since
he has been in Congress, to stem the current
of Southern aggression. and to hold up to
scorn the Northern dOughfsces; and yet the
papers we have named do not hesitate to print
letters and communications from unknown and
irresponsible writers, who directly impugn his
political integrity, and are calculated to do him
infinite injustice. Mr.. Campbell has been the
truest of the true. He has fought with beasts
of Ephesus;' he bas stood bis ground without
fiinchng, amid the rudest assaults, and has
come out of every conflict with his standard
high advanced Gin. Gazette.

Georgia DemOOraOy---The Platform Of the

Every dsy adds to the conviction that the
great issue between freedom and slavery must
now be settled. The South. made bold and
arrogant by the ease with which they have car
ried their measures, have resolved to broWbeat
and bully the free States into submission to
their schemes Of slavery extension and sggran-
Gizement. All compromises and compacts are
spurned and repudiated. The entire subjee-
ton of the free States to the imperious dicta-
ton of these slave drivers is demanded, or, in
default, we have for the ninety y-nnth time, a
tremendous threat Of dissolution of the u
nion.
That the people Of Ohio of all parties may
see the exact position of affairs, We ask thsir
careful attention to the following: On Tues

Thrust him out into the street.

Gathering up the precious store

With a generous look that shamed me,

As be held his apron white

In the centre Of the floor,
With defeated look alternate
Bent on me and on the door.
Then, as BY some sudden impulse,
Quickly ran he 10 the Ore.
And While eagerly his bright eyes
Watched the flames go high and higher,
In brave, clear key he shouted,

Laughter chased away the frown.

Till the dusky sun went down.

Knelt to say bis evening prayer;

And bend above him, weeping
