The President, Mr.. Harrison, then stated
the object of the meeting; but declined to
make a speech, as other distinguished men
were present
Hon. l.. ID. Campbell then came forward
He said that he had heard some men cursing
the rain for Interfering with the meeting last
night. For his part he thanked God for the
rain that made the corn grow; but there was
one reign he heartily cursed, and hoped soon
to see terminate, and that was the rei0n of
James Buchanan, or ~. B., or the "Old
Public Functionary," all of which names the
called.
He had learned to hate Buchanan in his
boyhood, when he was setting type on the
Cincinnati Gazette, because he had slandered
Henry Clay, and embittered General Jack
son against him. and he as heartily hated
him now.
He had never assisted to raise ~. B." to
the position he now occupied-for he had
voted for Col Fremont, his only formidable
competitor, to defeat him., and had advised
his American friends in this very place, to
do likewise. Thousands did do so, but not
withstanding this, J.. B. was elected. Il ~
IL he were TO accuse this "0ld Public
Functionary" of all the crimes he had COM
mitted, it would take till after the election,
and then those present would not have an
opportunity to vote, for. Bell and Everett.

need hardly say he referred to his part in.
attempting to put the Lecompton Constitu-
tion through Congress. iilkTGtt
In this instance he had used the peoples
money, and prostituted his patronage TO
enforce fundamental law upon people who
were unwilling to receive it. 1t was then
that Mr.. Douglas showed to the world that
he possessedall theelements Of d true man, by
resisting this nefarious scheme. That indi-
vidual had committed a grieyous sin, in
prompting the repeal of the Missouri Com
promise, but he had forgiven him since his
opposition to Lecomptonism. Z
Here the audience began TO grow uneasy
| lest he was going to declare for Douglas, and
manifested their displeasure by cries Of "Lets
hear about Bel, !" DRY up,B That's enough
Mr.. Campbell then continued by remark
ing that he would say no more about ~. B., !"
us he dsliked to speak disrespectfully of the
| dead, and the old public functionary was
dead, and he thought on his tombstone
should be engraved the words, San old pub
| lie functionary id"
He would like to speak to the Democratic
party, if he knew where to find it. But
both Douglas and Breckinridge claimed the
patent, exclusively, and, after mature de-
| liberation, he had come to the conclusion
| that it was broke into ten thousand frag-
ments and not even Spalding's Glue could
stick it together again. The same element
of discord-the negro-that had sundered
the Whig party, had broken the Democracy
to fragments, and completely crushed the
American organization, to whose principles
he still adhered. [Cheers.] r.
He had once taken stock in the Republican
party, but he had withdrawn it; it was not
commanding par value, and he would not
| keep 1t in market.
Here the displeasure of the audience was
again manifested to such degree that the
| speaker could with difficulty proceed.l
| He then declared that in his opinion, Con-
gress possessed the power to prohibit slavery
in the Territories, but might do as it liked
| about exercising it. rl.... p

The arrival of the Kentucky torch-ligh

Campbell then continued, amid every de
monstration of disapprobation from the au

was possible TO manifest. He finally con
