we are OppOSeu " H0uNuetSW' ~"
posed TO Fanaticdl Partisanship.' -
. To show the fallacies of this platform
Mr.. Campbell says: ",ce are violently ant
viruIently opposed to Gen. Kramer. D.. Tina
argument would have carried the Senate
unanimously!
We have some more equally rs weightJ
in his attempt to prove the false assertion
he made in reference to our letter. MT
Campbell proceeds to analyze the letter.
That "he besought Gen. Kramer not to LEI
his father be beaten is, he thinks, evident
from the fact that We "may have forgotten
that we had ever written such letter to
Gen. Kramer" Or, that sit could not be
produced and quoted FROM" This is argu'
ment No. 5.
But the expression he seems most ID de
pend on, and which he emphasizes in the
quoted paragraph of our letter as conclu'
sive proof that he besought zen. Kramer
not to let his father be beaten" is simply
the following: "lp consideration OF your
position" that is as a member of the Legls-
lature, representing this district, moving
the members as acquaintances, supposed to
understand the matter in question, and in
consideration of his being placed in such
circumstances, we thought it his duty to
explain and correct the matter. This Mr..
Campbell calls "fattery;" this, "cringing, u
this, "beseschirg Gen. Kramer not to let has
father be beaten" (Bear in mind that this
is an argument from man who was can
didate for the U. s. Senate
Here is another argument. Mr.. Camp.
bell further adduces in proof of his asser-
tion that she besought Gen. Kramer not
planned in our letter to Mr.. K, that we had
never made any opposition to him, but say
ing that even though we had, the response
bility Of it should rest on us, and notprevent
him from discharging his duty to another.
Although we did not favor the election of
Mr.. Kramer, nor did our colleague, yet we
thought proper not to offer any opposition.
Our colleague, however, thought fit after
the election, in very proper and respect
full manner to criticise the position of Gen.
Kramer, and which we knew had greatly
incensed Mr.. K.
The whole ground for Mr., Campbel's
assertion that we "were violently and vir-
ulently opposed to Gen. Kramer" is based
upon one single sentence which We quote
from the Monitor: people of the
eastern side desire hereafter to have a re-
preventative who is q resident of the county,
or has some interest here, at least so much
as wife,
The above sentence contains the whole
Of our 'volent and vlrulent opposition to
Gen. Kramer" and serves as another in
stance of Mr.. Campbelrs extraordinary
powers as a logician,
1t only remains for US TO disclose the
most significant fact in connection with
this controversy. 1t WILL we think, make
it very palpable to every one, what motives
prompted Mr.. Campbell to begin the con-
troversy Let us see.
What does Mr.. Campbell mean by being
so particular to open every one of his arti-
cles that refer to our journal, with the ex-
preston "a copperhead sheet edited by a son
Of Mr.. Willeys"
Have we not name by which we can be
sufficiently distinguished without the addi
ton of "a son of Senator Willey's?" Be-
sides, is not Mr.. Campbell well aware that
we have colleague engaged in editing the
MONITOR?
What does he msan by saying that the
writing of our letter was on the occasion Of
a "famlly extremity "to prop up the en-
dangered fortunes of his household" &c.
Does the vote on the different candidates
sustain this?
What does he mean by saying that we
tidence of his father" He'very probably
knew, and it is certainly known by great
many, that Senator Wiley was not within
an hundred miles of home at the time the
letter was written. Nor did he know that
any such letter was written until Mr.. Camp
bell informed him through his journal
What, then do all such kind Of reflections
, mean What are they but the palpabl
outbreaking Of a defeated ambition, sustained
Ia the last Senatorial election. What could
such thrnsts as we have cited above mean;
what significance have they, if they 1oere
| not intended to .taG upon the head of one whG
,cds chosen ADORE him for the e. S. .Senate-
He could not succeed in defeating him before
the Legislature, so he is now trying to drag
him down before the people. He has not
the nanliness to come out boldly, but he
essays to strike through as. In his AFRO
gance he assumes TO dictate thro' the col
umns of a public journal how another man
should govern his household. He would
have us put out of his way. We are thorn
in his flesh, and We are glad of it, We in
tend to stick there.
We are not particularly concerned il
these thrusts-certainly no one is solicitor:
concerning their effect, but we would say
by way Of easing our mind that it is vel
the father has more dignity and elf.conlrol
than the son, or he would disgrace himself
by rising up in his might and crushing thi
little would be demi god
A PLEASED HUsBAND-In quiet town il
Maine, few Sabbaths since, there occurred
an incident in the Methodist Church which
it will perhaps do no harm to relate. A
