HIM. L. D. CAMPBELL.-The stand
taken by this gentleman is one which every
true American must approve. From the
first, prominent candidate for Speaker,
when he found that he drew off votes,
which, if given TO Others, might add to
the probabilities ofthe election fSpeaker.
he Withdrew his name from the contest.
Ofhis lrong anti.slavery sentiments, no
one who has watched his course in the
House can doubt. Uuawed by frowns,
he has pursued the course of freeman,
and true representative Of free constit-
uency. When he saw that an otganiza-
ton could not be effected. he was willing
to lay aside his personal preferences, in
order to effect it.
His address, in declining any longer
to be candidate, will long be remember
el by the American people. Unwilling
10 pledge himself to any party, that he
would grant them particular favors or give
up principles, which he held as sacred,
and believed TO be based on the welfare
Of the country, he freely gave up the
honers Of office, and retired TO the ranks.
As such he ever will be remembered py
the American people. Esteemed and
honored by his friends and respected by
his opponents, he must remain as he
now is, one OF Ohio's Gavorite sons, not
withstanding the numerous efforts, which
are now making by those who are unable
TO appreciate his patriotism, to lessen him
III public esteem.
Not long ago, these same persons
were lauding him TO the skies, for his
noble stand on the Nebraska question,
He stands there still, but cannot think
and act with them in all things, and is
willing to suffer from such attacks as long
as he is confident of being right. We
admire the stand he has ,aken, and believe
that he will be sustain ed by the calm and
rejecting portion of the commu ity.'

TEMPERANCE NO. /.
A REVIVAL NEEDED,


The friends Of the Temperance refor-
nation, here as elsewhere, have mostly
conlented themselves with acting on the
defensive. All their efforts for many
years were directed 10 harm the foe,
and circumscribe its sphere Of action
Its territory was marked out and well de-
fined by license hedges and bitches, and
a vigorous block ade was maintained to
prevent it from making serious inroads on
society. But with all the legal restric.
tions that could be devised, it yearly be.
came stronger, and deepened its hold
on society, bearing down in its blighling,
desolaliug course, an increased number
of victims annually. Many reformers
saw the danger and gave the alarm, but
they were treated as dreamers and WIS.,
ionaries, and their warnings passed un-
needed, and not till the disease had over
spread the whole social fabric; and rami-
fel through all the arteries of society,
pressing hard upon its vtals, did the mas.
ses, that gave political efficiency to the
movement, realize the necessity Of acting
vigorously on the offensive, and prepare
to invade the territory of the foe. The
license system, created 10 prevent its
spread, but by sad experience, proved tc
be utterly inefficient, now was found &c
constitute lis main defences, for it l,!vest.
ed the traffic with the sanclity Of law and
behind these delences it throve. and spread
in conscious security. And sharp was
the conflict and signal the victory won
by the Temperance host. The traffic
was divested of all legal protection, and q
clause was inserted in the Constitution
giving basis for prohibitory legislation
and on this basis an act passed the legis
lature, restricting the traffic in variou:
ways, and this law in the main was wei
approved. II will if strictly enforced, dc
more to restrain intemperance, than any
previous enactment.
And this success was highly crafty
ing; and many were disposed TO believ
that The enemy was conquered, and al
further watchfnlness, to them, seeme'
useless. Indeed, we are disposed 10 be
lieve that all must have laid aside thei
arms, TO sleep; for Tie routed enemy ha
recruited, returned and spiked some O
> our guns, even before we had tried ihei
efficiency. To speak plainly, we fin
that vsrions strange rulings of the courls
u al tending to obstruct the action of plai
enac,, ,Hent, requiring the State to prov
various cCntingsncies, which, only in rar
instances, car be proved, make it almo'
impossible to procure conviction for o
fences against the Iaw. 'Another sue
victory would ruin u.s." Thus it is ev
dent that we slept too soon, and reviv'
is needed-nay, ipperatively demanded
We should bring our crippled law TO bea
on offenders, as frequently and closel
as possible. Petitions should be circul'

wants of the foe have thrown in the wa
