TIE truth is in this game. Campbell outwited the

OF being used. The Buchanan and Cameron cTues

the former, who lives in Philadelphia, and remon-

gave him The State Delegates 10 the Baltimore Con-

far az the Cameron wing of the patty was concerned.
Wen the Baltimore Convention met, and Franklin
Pierce vas nominated and elected. TuIs result was
scareel, snrou1ced before Judge Campbell pro-
claimed hinse a. candidate for Cabinet appoint
ment. This took every body by surprise, and no one
more 90 thsn Mr. Buchanan himself, for he in
tended TO use the Judges Influence to secure
bis own appointment TO the State Department,
which position he really desired Why or where
fore Campbell should have influence with Pierce It
vas difficult to understand, and is not understood to
this day. One thing, however | will say Dir.
Buchanan never recommended judge Campbell to
the Pr sident for Cabinet appointment This may
e,totsh some Of your readers, but it is true, and
know IT, Mr. Buchanan wsnted place himself,
and used all bis influence TO get it, but failed at the
sane time it wa. given ont that he favored the pre-
tensions Of Campbell. Thi, was blind. Campbell

recon end H. ana If lie had, the former would not
have been appointed. The President was the de-
cded enemy of Buchanan ard sent him 20 England
out Of spite to get rid Of him, and in this unpbe
cooperated. Whether the President evincsd much
s.gaclty in preferipg the latter to the former need
not say. In all these arrangements Campbell GER
tsinly achieved victory and turned the game upon
the enemy.

very good man, as psrtisans go. Mr.. Brodnead
would have coopers,ed cheerfully with the Admins
traitor. If they had treated him with civi'y,
bu, from the time Campbell took possession of Office,
he sped to undivided rule in this STATE. which has
brought the Democratic party TO its present con
dtiop. In the election Of United States Senator,
Mr.. Bfodbesd sympsthizes with Cameron, not be-

Cameron is corrupt, Brodhead thinks Ferney is tan

much the advantage.
