Wright who was jealous supporter 81 the hansas Dill IN
the last Congress"
We venture tie assertion that Il Is impossible 70 find in
Mt Campbes record stronger and more conclusive evil
dsnee Of his abolitonis than Mr. Jones here brings for
ward to establish that Of Mr. Fuller The fact notorious
however that after the sxty-Gh ballot for Speaker Dir
Fuller became the distinctive candidate of the national
southern Americans They will say that he became such
only after he had given satisfactory assurances that he
stood upon the twelfth section, and would not vote 10
store the Missouri Compromise We admit the truth Of
this statement and because of its truth We express
surprise that it offensive to them have Mr Camp
bell tell his constituents that he could have got the South
American votes he would have given the that
Mr. Fuller gave! Mr.. Campbelps disclosure indicates
pretty concusvey that he was approached before Mr.,
Fuller had qualified himselffo the South American vote
Ii was on the It'll Of December that Mr. Campbell with
dew bis candidate for Speaker, and his
marks at the time foreshadowed the developments which
he has recently made 10 his constituents quote the fol-
lowing extract
awe have been voting for FIVE days; twentyt
votes have been taken find, through the partiality
fiends that have received ia six of these votes,
number than any other candidate before the House, and
all the votes greater number than other candidate of
opposition to the administration Yet sir it is obvious to
that II is impossible for my friends to succeed unless
known principles in reference to slavery my views Amer
icanism in way directly indirectly, TO make
pledges with regard to the forming of committees which Will
amount to sacrifice Of my serespec and make me- in my
opinion, a fit object for public contempt"
1t will be observed that when Mr.. Campbell withdrew
bis he said it clear he could he elected
less be rpuddts his wekRorn sentiments reference 10
slary We learn from his speech to his constituents
that he by this declaration that he could not be
elected unless he upon the twelfth secou and agreed
not TO agae for the restoration Of the Missouri Compro
mise and the inference natural that he could be elect
ed he would thus repudiae his welll:nown sentiments
1t twelve days after Mr. Campbell withdrew that Mr.
Fuller gave the which Mr. Campbell refused TO
give and thereby secured the votes of the southern Amer
In view of these things repeat surprise that
the southern Americans should manifest much
when Mr. Campbell says, in effect that he could easily
have gotten their Mr. Fuller did, if he would have
repudated his well-known entments in reference sa-
very Mr.. Fuller did
But whilst give Mr. Campbell full credit for exhi-
bton Of very successful lodging in his response to Mr.
Ready's catechisng cannot but express wonder
that he did not turn upon his arragner and carry the
war into their ranks How could the South Ameri-
have explained the fact that whilst they could not
for Mr. Campbell because he repudated the twelfth
section and would agree cease agitatng for the
restoration of the Missouri Compromise they could
BILE at Philadelphia and not only expunge their twelfth
section but adopt resolution denouncing the present ad
mnistation for eopening sectional agitation by the re-
peal of the Missouri Compromised" But Ar Campbell
was kind enough his southern brethren to pass
their inconsistent injustice to him without criticism or
complaint allude to it only to show that there is still
lingering sympathy between the two wings of the know
nothing order
