Simon Cameron, after he received the X. n caucus
nomination for e. s. Senator:
"We protest against the election of Simon Gamer

no principle with fidelity; and eminent only for Ms
political cunning and intrigue be can gl't ebaIactef

In addition to the above, the \. Ms Of the county
of Franklin, on the 18Th of February, 1855, assem-
bled in the Borough of Cbambersburg, and solemnly
denounced CAMERON as a ''Potical GAMBLER,
head and shoulders taller than ANY man now living
in political INFAMY.' They close their address in
the following words. Read them carefully:

may add, no honest party does
Less than two years ago the Chambersburg Repo-

paragon of honesty and patriotism, procaimins bis
