The true Democrat., 1856-01-29
Northern Know Nothings Testify ing about the American Party and Henry M. Fuller.

ton tendencies of the "American order' at the north, northern 'American'' will be good witness. We shall introduce one from Penn. sylvania, Mr. Campbell, elected to Congress by the Know Nothing or American party In a speech upon the floor of the House, Mir. Camp bell said
 II was nominated as an ant-N Nebraska man. 1 represented myself as such in every town in my district. l made that issue boldly then, and make 1t now. And I now say to the honorable gentleman from Tennessee that I will continue to oppose the repeal of the Mis- souri compromise until I can be recreant to my constituents my country and myself"
 And again he said:
 Let me say to gentlemen now, as I have said before, that I am still an anti-N ebraska man, and that 1 will continue to act with the gentlemen who opposed to the principles of the kansas-Nebraska bill. Yet, in aU the dis tanctive American doctrines ana as sound as mag colleague, MT. Broom.] And I say to him, that tue State cf Pennsylvania repudiated tue taoelM section: and ff the Honorable gentleman qoiU ac- k'aoaUledge ase authority cf the council ao1icA met ln tie city of Realing he cannot alvocate tue elec ton of any gentleman on Hat section. I desire to say 1t to the people of the great commercial city of Philadelphia, that I believe they are anti ebraska to the core; that l believe they voted for the Executive of Pennsylvania and
 they aoere not a0iling tat tue institution of slavery aiao"M obtaln any oduantage from tue repeal of tue Missouri compromise of 182O."
 This, be it remembered, is from the lips of an American"-Mr. Campbell, elected by the American order to Congress. Is it not strong proof that, even in Pennsylvania, the order is abolitionized9
 Can the southern people be longer deluded with the cry that the American party'' is na- tiona, that, in it, there is " any sqtety fw tue souhtn'
 Of MT. Fuller, the candidate for speaker, for whom the southern Know Nothings arc voting, MT. Campbell says:
 "One word in reference to my colleague from Pennsylvania, Mir. Fuller who has, by his answers to certain questions addressed to him some days since, surrendered the whole ground upon the subject. 1 entertain the highest re- spect for that gentleman, for whom many mem- bers upon this floor have cast, and continue to cast, their votes for the speakership. But I want 1t understood distinctly that it was my understanding that that gentleman was elected to this House in opposition to Mir. Wright, who voted for the Nebraska bil and that was the issue made in the canvass between them; and, according to my understanding, my colleague
 Mir. Fuller was elected as an anti Nebraska man. 1 understood him to take his seat upon this floor assuch and voted for hlm, as my first choice for speaker, as an anti Nebraska cand- date"
 Mir. Campbell ought to know Mir. Fullers position, as they are both from the same State and were elected at the me time, by the same Know Nothing party. The truth is there is no question but that Fuller is an anti-Nebraska nun aad c treesoiler.
 In conclusion, Mir. Campbell testifes that the "tue principles of Aneaacamisna and hostility to Ae Kon,as- Nebraska act'' go hand in hand Hear him:
 " After this explanation, Mir. Clerk, I hope that members will not point to my position as enl9maucal. l am here in opposition to all the features of the Kansas Nebraska act; and I shall so remain. 1 will vote for any gentleman on the floor of this House who professes to stand by the true principles of Americanism, and hostility to the Kansas-Nebraska act'
 We always said the order was originated for the purpose of aJolihonizing the Union, and thus destroying the south. Does any souther- ner want stronger evidence of the fact than th admissions of Mr. Campbell, who is a high priest of the order and was elected by it to 6 seat in the present Congress-?
 We shall now introduce Mr. Barclay, anotl- CT witness as to the position of lHr Fulle,. or the slavery question.
 He is a democrat-ls from the same State with Mr. Fuller, and knows the man and hi: professions.
 Mir. Barclay, in speech in Congress said: z now read from the published procee dings fthe KNOW NOTHING GPENNSYLVANTA STATE COUNCIL, held in Reading, on Tues , day, the Sd of July. My honorable colleague from Somerset, MT. Edie, see was the Pre- sldent. Among the resolutions adopted by the convention find the following: 'Resolced, That the repeal of the Missc.ur compromise was an infracton of the nation AND THAT TT SHOULD BE RESTOR! ED and if efforts to that end should fail CON GRESS SHOULD REFUSE TO ADiLI1 ANY STATE TOLERATING SLAVERY which shall be formed out of any portion e the territory from which that institution WI. excluded by the compromised
 :, Mr. Broom-That was resolution of oilly portion of the council to which the gent l man refers. There were those who repudiatc the action of the council in respect to that rS, solution
 Mir. Barclay-That may be; but the resou tion was adopted by the State council. And would ask how many repudiated it? I will tell the honorable gentleman from Philad al phla: only ten-ten out cf one hundrel and sev ae ty-Sar? The resolution was endorsed by h, American party of Pennsylvania and des; to know when those gentlemen came upon tai
 floor and cast their votes for the distinguish Ae, gentleman from Pennsylvania, Mr. Fuller | a candidate for speakership, whether they m ,al us to understand that he stands on that reso lu : tion, or not? The honorable gentleman fir on Somerset, who casts his vote regularly for hi , colleague, Mir. Fuller, eoas President of h council mhtd adQpted Aat very resolution. " entire opposition delegation from Pennsylvania
 aotae there seemed Ae least hope cf success, a,ote
 steaatastly tor nay Honorable collegue, Mr. Full Ter, and yet they come here and tell us the are eminently national; that theirs is THE m tlonal party; and that, in the American part ,, of Pennsylvania, no Sectionahsm can be found l should like to exactly understand the posi- tion of my colleague, who for the first l,i UT o , five days of the session, voted for the ,listin suished gentleman, Mir. Fuller, notwitllstant ing that resolution which he endorsed, and c which, presume he now approves" And again, MT. Barclay compares Mr. lFuNe to the abolition candidate, MT. Banks, [>vho i 3 also Know Nothing) and asks, sohat IS a. diferene beta0een Mena?
 MT. Barclay said: "Now, sir, would like to know wrhethe there is any difference of opinion betw cen th f honorable gentleman from Massachuset ts INT
