HARRISBURG, PA, Jan. 15.-This after
noon a public gathering was held at one Of
the halls in this city, at which speeches
were made by Attorney General Brewster,
Senators Lowry and Langdon, and Gen.
Cameron. In the course of his remarks,
Mr.. Cameron said, | thank God that In
spite of the ISLANDERS my enemies have
heaped on me for twenty years, nv fellow
citizens, who have seen my life from day to
day, have always stood bv my side and
helped me to repel them This last strug-
gle of my political life has ended in victO-
~. | declare this as in answer to my
children and friends. | now propose to
put these ISLANDERS behind me and forget
the liars who concoctei them, and the fact
that good men in some C4ses, by repetition
Of them, were induced To believe and re-
peat them.
Mr. Cameron continued, six years ago
thought slavery was the strength of the re-
belliOn, and ought 10 be DESTROYED with
out delay. / wished also to arm all the
black men who would volunteer. Ofcourse
/ thought that q black man in American
uniform would clothe him with all the
rights of an American citizen | am always
glad to see a black soldier, and reflect that
even Pennsylvania denies him the ballot,
the only weapon by which he can protect
himself | hope to live TO see the word
white stricken from our own constitution
and the spirit of caste upon color utterly
destroyed The South, however Is more
controlled by social influences than by pc
litical principles; if You are wise and firm
you may educate the rising generation
IL 1 =
manship which will make this generation
of the South loyal to the Union and flag.
The piosOn Of 30 years can but be eradicated
by the subserviencv of the President or by
statutes of Congress. Let us look truth i'm
the face. The Southern territory is des-
troved. The loyal men of to-day must
guard the children against another treason
rebellion The constitutional amendment
granting impartial suffrage will do this, but
universal amnesty will help to undo it.
Andrew johnson | said long ago was Il
traitor to his party, an enemy Of his cOun-
try, and bad man. He has done many
bad things, but nothing worse than offering
the offices of the country to those few nm
principled men who agreed to desert and
betrav the great Republican organization
for his patronage. He Joined the Demo
cratic party long ago he had right to
give them offices, but he had no right to
dispOseyof them at auction to weak-kneed
Republicans
The pauper labor Of Europe is again
| competing with our Own labor, and our
manufactures languish for want of proteC-
ton against it. Pennsylvania needs no
assurance of my devotion to her interests in
this regard, which are the interests Of the
whole country. / will continue to labor,
in season or out of season, TO protect our
manufactures from ruin and their workmen
from being thrown ont of employment, or
their wages reduced to a starvation point
for | hold that the true welfare Of any ma
ton depends on the welfare of It's laboring

cided. that the acl itself, even ii it had
been properly and formally passed. was
Unconstitutional and void. because not IL

in the constitution, and receiving their
appointment from different source,
