rcponted so often, and tho archives ot
hntli Slate and National Government
contain enough of his shame and re
buke to mnuo ins name cxocrauio
while there is a being to hoar it in his
native Stato.
Mv nurtioso is simplv to reply to
General Cameron, who has sought to
miilrn it nnnuar that the noliliual tin-
rent In Pennsylvania and the certainty
ot defeat lucre lor mo jiopuoncau
party In Oetobor is duo- to Inllnonccs
other thnn those arising from the dis
satisfaction with hiscorruption. Gen
eral Cameron's fiorce slrugglo is not
m lira tint Ronnlilicnn partv of Penn
sylvania In October, or ocure that
Suite for Urant, but to save inmaoii.
He is tho pursued party In all tne an.
irrv diftcusnions in the Kcyetono Stute,
and tils' the record-of shamo which
bear my noblo Rnptiblican brethron
in thai Commonwealth down into the
dust. Ho fours a now rulo in the
Auditing and Treasury Departments
in that Hlitto, and above all ha shrinks
fenm a I leinneml in f.fivurnor of the
ISuekntow type, because ho goes in that
resull tho speedy realization of a doom
which ho is certain lo meet soonor or
later.
Why docs General Cameron thus
tremble on tho vcrgo o! the grave,and
shrink with horror from liuving his
record laid bare 1 Lot mo tell you.
When ho was 6rst elected Unitod
State 8onator, in 1845, he purchased

the votes wntcn sccuroa n ioits
a majority of one on joint ballot in
tho Legislature, went to llarrinburg
in largo crowds, threatening to shoot
any Democrat who voted for. Cam
oron the fact being well known at the
time that there was n Democrat in the
Legislature who hud a bribe Irom
Citinoron in his pocket, bul who was
. ui,l Irom volinir fur him bv the
revolvers of his indignant constituents
pointed at his boad as be sat in bis

In 1807, whon Camoron was elected

he is now serving it cobI fifty thous

that money was made oy tue owtae'
