of the Gag ends of all parties" of the Sd
District for Congress. When the Re-
publican party was first organized it was
declared in every State and county
convention that they were in favor of
rotation in office. This was one of the
planks placed in the platform for the
purpose of making the people believe
that they were a very honest, self sacri-
6cing party-that they were only canx-
ious to have the spoils distributed equal
ly. This cheat and fraud was swallow
ed by a great many prominent men op.
posed to the Democratic party. In this
District quite a number of qspirants for
Congressional honors confidently ex-
pected when they first nominated Camp
bell, that he and his friends would deal
justly with them. They gave him posi-
ton and influence, but they never sup
posed he and his few friends would use
them for their defeat. In this, howev-
er, they find themselves cruelty deceiy-
ed. They did not know the man. AL
though there was others, ADLER and bet
ter qualified for the position, they were
kicked aside without any mercy, and
Lewis D~cmagogue Campbell, who, ac-
cording to his own statement, has for
thirty years been a recipient of political
favors, was nominated. His course du-
ring that period has had more crooks
and turns, than any worm fence that
was even constructed, and he has "sold
out" the principles of the party that
claims to have nominated him, as often
as the years he claims to have been in
political harness.
WHEN WILL HE Be SATISFIED?
Only when he dies. 1t was claimed
by his friends previous to the New Pa
ris Convention, that his extraordinary
qualifications, combined with his low
cunning and demagogism, pointed to
him as the only man who could bring
together the flag ends Of all parties"
with any show of success.
WHAT HAS HE DONE N CONGRESS-?
Although we have frequently shown
his prctensions of Abolitionism, yet it
is proper we should see how consistent
he has been. No~twithstan ing his ho-
ly hatred to the extension of slavery,
and his ''shrieks" to the '.freemen" OF
this District before and since his nomi-
nation about "no more slave States
his excessive anxiety for bleeding Kan
sas-yet this same great, unwashed
spotless virgin Of a politician, did actu.
ally vote for
Duun's Bier in 1856!
which extended the Fugitive-Slave Law
over Kansas and Nebraska, and perpet
uated slavery there until 1858, aux
made all children born therein up tt
that time, of slave mothers,
SLAVES FOR LIFE!
Nothing but a Democratic majority il
the Senate defeated this bill. Adolf
t%ionists, look at the record to see If thi
is not correct. 1t might be well for tn
'frcemcn of this District when he i
addressing them, t. ask him to explain
this vote.
"PRESTO CHANGE.'
When the bills to admit Minnesot;
and Oregon, FREE STATES, was vo
ted upon, Mr.. Campbell voted aqainS
their admission and voted for the Crit
tendon Montgomery amendment which
permitted Kansas to become a STATE
WITH SLAVERY in her Constitution
if the people wished it
HE Is OPPOSED TO EXTRAVAGANZA
When the bill to increase the pay o
members of Congress to $4,000 per yea
passed, Mr.. Campbell voted for Il, ant
has never raised his voice against it since
its passage, nor never refused to draw
this exorbitant per diem. He pratet
considerable about the expenses of tn,
general government for the current year
and charges the fault upon Prcsiden
Buchanan and his administration. TIL,
appropriations for the year mentioned
were made by an act of the 34th Con
gress, which was largely Black Repub
! lican and caused the expenditures, il
t fighting seventy two days for a speaker
t which he now unblushingly charges a
democratic Extravaganza!
These arc Il few items from the recor,
of this individual, who a few nights ag
on the Court House steps, in Eaton
