Address Of n. b. Campbell, ESQ.

Barbecue in the Wales Neiqhborhood.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Friends and
Fello,o- Countrymen:-I rise with deep
and unaffected sensibility to proffer
to you my Acknowledgements of the
honor you have conferred on me by
your invitation to address you on
this occasion. 1 would have des-
paired of performing my duty with
any credit to myself or the occasion,
did 1 not draw inspiration from this
brilliant assemblage. One coming
among strangers IN the performance
of duty of this kind is apt to be
fettered with embarrassments which
would tend to perplex him; but I
can assure you ladies and gentle
men, that these difficulties are dis
PEELED from me by the genial infiu-
ence of this enlightened body. In
the progress of my remarks [ shall
not enter into eulogium of the won
derful achievements of some re-
nowncd hero of antiquity, nor soar
aloft on fancy's glittering wing in
quest of words fitting to paint in
glowing colors the beauties and vir-
tues of tho fair and captivating wo-
men Of our land. This delightful
theme L resign to others. On any
other occasion 1 would speak on
this subject with rapturous delight.
/ would love to lavish on tho lovely
women all the compliments they
deserve but this is not a time for
adulation. lam here Oh q different
mission. [ am here to speak on
questions of awful moment to our

couh.. men, OF the impoI tsnt sta
zion you fill in life. On you rests
grave responsibilities. On you de-
pend the multitudenous avocations

Somebody ut Hoopest0n, Ill, has

that the MAIL and journals of its

pi great damage IN retarding immi-

lies in and near Hoopeston contem-
plating immigration to Mississippi,
possibly to Madison county, End

deter them in their plar.s. Now,
we have no subscribers at Hopes
ton, and the only gay in which we
can account for the NAIL getting

in the West for the past suwmer and
that the MAIL was sent TO him, and
that he, and none other, 10 the party
who marked our issue of the 10th,
affixed his conments and forward
ed it to the Times. With regard to
the fifty or moro families of Hopes

Mississippi and possibly to Madison
county, We say we bid you como, if
you are bona fide immigrants; if it
is your purpose to come and live
with us and share our fate with US,
we will welcome you with open
arms. 1t is not for you that we pre-
scribe tar and feathers, your class

of carpet Dagger confoundcd with
that of immigrants. Our under
standing Of the carpet-bagger, is,
not the man who comes to our sec

but the man who comes here solely

Again we say, we will welcome

every true and honest immigrant
