victed Of the paI;ricst chicanery that ever was en-

they make the very forbearance Of their government

LEWIS D. CAMPBELL.

This gentleman has given in his adhesion to the
Fillmore ticket, and thus gone over body and soul
to the South. In late speech at Fillmore rati.
fcation in Washington he sneered at the "nigger
business" as having no right to place among
the politica, questions cf the day. This in view
Of the fact noted by cotemporaries, that all the
political capital he has ever made has been made
in the "nigger business"is is sufficiently contempt
ibIe. Some of our exchanges express surprise at
his apostasy. We are surprised at their surprise.
This Mr.. Lewis D. Campbell is very small speci-
mes of dcmagogue, who by frugal allowance
OF brains and plentiful supply of assurance I has
succeeded in making quite noise in the world His
apostacy is the most natural thing in the world,
and his whole course in Congress the present term
has sufficiently indicated his tendencies south

One cf our contemporaries illustrates the saying
that there is but step from the sublime to the
ri dicuous by applying to Lew. Campbell the
magnificent lines of Whittier on the apostasy OF
Webster.-Think of the following glorious stanzas

COLUMBIA, S. c., Saturday, Jan. y, '56.
In former letter gave you a sketch of domes-
tic life as it is in South Carolina and as it was in
trusively forced upon my attention by the COM
plants not merely of the slaves, but Of their supe-
riOrs. In my rambles along the beautiful and pic
turesque Congaree other phases of the institution
presented themselves which are equally deserving
attention.
As soon as one has stepped out from the sound
Of the angry noises Of domestic strife, such as
tinually assail our within the range of the
kitchen and wood Yards, the music of distant
water steals softly upon the ear. Although mile
distant the stream leaping over the rugged and
rocky bed of the Congaree, makes its free and
glorious voice heard even in the City of Colum.
bia To my ear it is as the voice Of nature re-
buking
"Mans inhumanity to man."
With my feminine companion l approached the
wooden bridge the river where it costs five
cents each to cross the river foot-a fair spec-
men of the want Of public spirit and enterprise.
We took ramble on the ef-hand side of the
bridge. Here is saw-mll driven by a stream,
and attended by two negroes. who, to make us
think they were doing great business, said they
were cutting 500 feet day which at the rate
they were saving seemed exceedingly doubtful.
A mill that could cut 1,500 feet an hour could be
constructed here with but little outlay.
Further to the left is large brick yard, in which
the boiler and part Of Il steam engine, together
with brick-machino, are exposee to tbs weather.
They showed no symptoms of having been worn
ont, but are left to rust out-a sort of monument
Of oy-of an enterprise begun without the ener-
gy or capital to carry it through-a fair sample Of
the thrift of South Carolina. Finding ourselves
here in anything but beautiful scenery, naturally
began to yetraeo my steps, when our path was sud-
denly crossed by an individual the like of whom /
had not before seen, but from the inimitable de-
scriptons of Mrs. Stowe, I'VE both recognised him
as an overseer. lie is man of broad, coarse, fea

So fallen, so lost the light withdrawn
Which once he wore !
The glory from his gray hairs gone
Forevermore
Reyile him not-the Tempter hath
A snare for all;
And plying tears, not scorn and wrath
Bcft his fall.
Oh! dumb be passions stormy rage,
When he who might
Have lighted up and led his age
Falls back in night.
Scorn would the angels laugh to mark
a bright soul driten,
Fiend goaded, down the endless dark
From hope and heaven?
Let not the land once proud of him
Insult him now,
Nor brand with deeper shame his dim
Dishonored brow.
But, let Its humbled sons, instead,
From sea to lake,
A long lament as for the dead
In sadness make.
OF all we loved and honored, nought
Save power remains
a fallen angels pride Of thought
Still strong in chains.
All else is gone; from those great eyes
The soul has fled;
When faith is lost, when honor dies,
The man is dead
Then, pay the reverence Of old days
To his dead fame
Walk backward with averted gaze,
And hide the shame

A FUGITIVE SLAVE IN LIVERPOOL

The American ship Aseron, Capt. Day, which
arrived in theMerscy on Saturday evening brought
to th he free shores Of England slave wcman, un-
der rather peculiar Circumstances. i appears that
while the ship was loading in New Orleans the
poor creature made her escape, whereupOn her
master offered n reward Of $500 to any one who
would restore to him his property The police
as is usual IN such cases, made strict search
throughout the city and board the vessels in the
harbor, but she cluded their vigilance, and found
friend in the ships boatswain, who secre tly
7eyed her on board the Asteron, and kept her in
his berth during the whole of the passage which
occupied about 25 days. The straugest part Of the
narrative is, that with the exception Of her liberia
tor, the boatswan her presence in the ship was
unknown to the captain, officers and crew. When
the vessel anchored in the Mersey the custom
house officers went on board, and while one Of
them was rummaging in Il beatswain's berth, he
found her concealed among the bed-clottes, in q
state Of nudity, having on only waist belt and a
.urban. Wearing apparel was soon provided and
she was removed on shore. and taken to a board
ing-house in Queen-street; a free woman She is
n mulatto about 20 or IS years of age and appear
ed to have been well treated during the voyage

PITTSBURGH PLATFORMS.

In 1852 the Free Soil or Free Democratic con
vention held in Pittsburg attended by many
thousands of people, Farof Maine and distant
Wisconsin were there represented Ey numerous re
uowned champions of Liberty, while more contigu
Gus states sent their delegates and visiers by hun
dreds. The well known PtLsbuyg WaJOrm was
there promulgated to the world. and it was one
in many resuects, of which its numerous friends
might be proud. Very different is the article re-
Gently got up there under the name of platform
by national convention. The first convention
was earnest, enthusiastic and bold in its announce
ments of principle; the latter may have been earn
est and enthusiastic also, but in its PRONUNCIATION
OF prineiples-if we may add an Sit was tmd
hiflng, no man about it.
Republicans, so called, may vaunt over Its DO
lngs, but can liberty, can the friends OF the slave
claim any advancement over the convention OF
1862? Not by any means. That announced some
sympathy for the down-trodden. and in addition
contained some fifteen or sixteen different and inn
portant propositions in regard to national matters;
and some of them other parties, including the de-
mocracy concurred in. The bold and decided ex-
preston of sympathy for the emigrant OF other
lands was one of the most manly and noble prin-
ciples clearly set forth in that memorable docu-
ment.
Another we'll remembered principle was equal
tazation-a question of no mean importance in the
pecunary affairs Of government. But how was
it in the late convention? Instead Of engrattlng
the half of some sixteen propositions in the plat
form, we see but one--no, not ONE, but fraction
Of ONE, slavery limitation) there-and that so
guurdedly announced as to give as little offence MS
possible. Free soilers, who batted so zaaously in

Julian, what think ye of this dwarfsh apology?
this pigmy? this Lilliputan pattern? Can you
stand upon it? Are you sufficiently skilled in rope
dancing to balance on such a scant platform as
that? If you can permit me to hint that you will
carry a very small load over on so narrow bridge
and that YOU will have to cross and re-cross great
