Campbell and 6chenck-A Parellel
Echenck himself was the fret
to attempt 8 parellel between the
two wsll-known politicians now
claiming the sufRrages Of the peo-
pie of the Third district. He,
therefore, cannot object 10 a con
tinuance of the subject. Schencks
first citation was the disparity
in their military record. He
claims for himself greater efforts
In behalf of the @Union" during
the late "unpleasantness" be-.
tween the North and the South.
Now, the valorous militia Major
General should bear in mind
that efforts in the sOrong diree-
ton amount to very little in
making up banance sheets. In
deed, they often do more harm
than good.
Leaving out of the argument
all question as to the best means
to be employed to suppress in>
surrection, and bring order out
of confusion, aud taking Gener-
al Echenck's standpoint for OBJ
servation, let us examine facts.
At the breaking out of the late
war Schenck was q gentleman
Iof elegant Ieisure-iust the sort
to go into the war. He declared
in the public streets of Dayton,
in front of the Market house, in
the spring Of 1851, that he was
unfit to be common soldier.
he was not well enough posted
on military tactics to fight in the
raugs. He, therefore, resolved
to do the worst thing possible
for tie interest of the Govern
ncnt and the patriotic men in
the ranks.
He went straightway to Presi-
dent Lincoln and made known
to that high fnnctionary his i'm
competency, ~whereupon e
President made him . brigadier-
general of volunteers, at a large
salary. He was soon promoted
for his tyranny in Baltimore
The case is = plain one, by
Schenck's own confession. He
was unfit to be q soldier In the
ranks-much less q sergeant OF
the guard, q lieutenant or . cap.
tain. Hence he is commissioned
a brigadier-general and placed in
of an army. His first
exploit was to get his men aboard
q train of ears and go snorting
into the enemy's camp, and
whereby his innocent men were
slaughtered.
His Lext exploit al to issue a
silly order at the battle Of Bull
Run, which the accomplished
Colonel McCook, who was under
ISchenck !! treated with contempt
and disobeyed. thereby saving
the hero of Vienna's command
from destruction. Thereupon
the General t~elegraphed home
that he and his staff were safe
of course, by the grace of Colonel
McCook. This was not doing
the best he could for his country.
He might have done better in
the ranks, and not endangered
the lives OF men whom he was
confessedly Incompetent to COM
mand.
Mr.. Campbell commenced his
military career lower down the
ladder, and thereby showed his
sense, discretion and patriotism.
But General Schenck says Col
