MORNIN
Six short years ago I left one of the
Executive Departments of the National
Government. At that time we were at
peace with all the world. We were res
pected and feared by all the nations of the
earth, and the proudest and oldest of them
had to acknowledge us as their peer--we
were taxed without feeling it—we were
governed without knowing it. Millions
were in the National Treasury, and we
were baying up our indebtedness in every
market at home and abroad in which we
could tied a seller. Above all, we were a
happy and united people, occupying one
of the fairest portions of the earili, boun•
tifully watered, and capable, from the ex
tent and diversity of its soil and . climate
of raising almost all the varied products
of the temperate and torrid zones. Can
not we truthfully and without boasting
say, that at that time, only six short years
ago, we twenty Gve millions of people,
occuping these tuned States. were the
'happiest people that bad ever occupied
any part of the globe? I am afraid that
drunk with too much prosperity we forgot
our dependence upon God, What is the
state of things now? Instead of pence
we have civil war; instead of fraternal
love we have deadly hate; instead of mu
tually contending with each other in the
pursuits of civil life, lands are ravaged
and destroyed—houses and towns pillaged
and burned—and brother's hand has been
raistd against brother in deadly strife in
every part of the land until hundreds and
thousands of our truest and bravest have
been laid in untimely graves. Our debt
has been increased to millions, and tax
gatherers of every kind are abroad COflF.ll
ming our substance. The Constitution
has been wilfully and wantonly violated,
and laws have been passed by Congress in
direct opposition to its clearest provisions.
The President himself, at his own will and
motion, has dared to suspend the writ of
habeas corpus in loyal States where there
were loyal judges and consign citizens,
without any information of the cause or
nature of the accusation within the walls
of a fortress. The freedom of the press
and of speech has been abridged, and cit
izens, for using the privileges granted
' them by by th 3 Constitution have been
tried by military tribunals and banished
from their country. William Pitt, during
the war with Napoleon, ruled the English
people with a rod of iron, and in the pur
suit of his objects trampled upon the rights
and liberties of Englishmen, but even
he, never dared, without the consent of
Parliament, to suspend the writ of habeas
corpas, and this at a time when rebellion
was rife in every part of hie land, or try a
civilian by a military commission. Within
two years we have all witnessed these
things, and 1 have often been obliged to
ask myself what land I live in. My friends
the authors of these deeds, must at some
time be held to a stern responsibility in
order to vindicate ourselves and to guard
posterity against repetition of such outra
ges; and I propos. now to inqu.re, with
SALE
your permission, into some of 04- causes
which have produced these wc Cul and
alarming chances.
I am and have ever been as much op
posed to this rebellion as any citizen cf
this Union, and will never consent to any
disintegration of this great Republic. The
rebellion was, in my opinion, a crime
conceived against the peace and prosperi
ty of millions. Some of the leaders were
actuated by patriotic but most mistaken
motives, believing that neither their per
sonal nor political rights could be pre•
served in the present Union, owing to
abolition ascendancy. Others of the
leaders were actuated by no such consid
erations. Their design was to force a
separation and in time to annex Mexico,
Central America, and the Antilles, and to
build up a confederacy with homogeneous
pursuits, interests and institutions which,
in their opinion, would in the progress of
years surpass any republic of ancient or
modern times. The groat masses of the
Southern people were entirely ignorant
of the designs of these leaders, and if
their views had been developed previous
to the breaking out of the rebellion, the
authors would have been consigned to
perpetual oblivion and disgrace. The
great masses of the people i n the South
as well as in the North loved the Union.
It ass connected with all their old asso
ciations and linked with all their thoughts
end feelings. Their fathers had died for
it, and memorials of the bitter and bloody
strifes of our two wars of independence
were to be seen in most of the States of
the South, and in no part of the Union
were these recollections of the past more
cherished and revered. This has always
been my opinion of the feeling and senti
ment of the South.
As a Pennsylvanian, and looking at the
rebellion from a purely Pennsylvania
stand point, I shall ever oppose it to the
utmost of my power. The raids into our
State and the late battle fought on our
soil at Gettysburg, show us in a most tin
mistakable manner what must be our con
dition in case of a separation of these
States. While the States of the North
west would have a river line of defence

SPEECH
JUDGE CAMPBELL.
The Hon. James Campbell, of Philadel
phia, formerly Postmaster General, was
invited to be present to address The mass
meeting held at Scranton, on the rth
September. He was present, lending his
influence and endorsement, as heretofore,
to the time-honored principles and policy
of the Democratic party, but unable, on
account of ill health, to make a speech.
Upon urgent request, he was induced t:)
commit his views to paper for publicatiop,
and we now have the pleasure of laying
those views before our readers :
Some years have elapsed, my friends,
since I was in your valley, and what
changes since then have come over this
,91, Your county. Under the fostering
care orirbea,:;:.l .; liberal and free Govern
ment, by your ene - rx..i_ and enterprises,
you have peopled these arid have
now made them One of the richest
most productive portions of our gr , at
State. You have built new towns and
railroads—you have developed your im
mense mineral resources—you- have open
ed new markets, and added millions to the
capital of the country—men of different
climes and nations have come here, and
you have become one homogeneous whole
with only those rivalries .which must ever
exist among men in the pursuit of busineps
or pleasure. Is this state of things to
continue? This is a most imnortant
question, affecting not only yourselves but
your children, and all whom you hold
dear, and you must decide it at the next
October election
separating them from the foe, we would
have but a surveyor's line. Pennsylva
nia must be the great battle field for the
future strife of the two confederacies, and
her lands and her towns, her colleries and
her manufactures might fall beneath the
hand of the destroyer. She would be as
sociated with partners who would not
listen to her counsels, but would force her
into wars in which her fertile fields would
be deluged with carnage and blood, her
people pillaged and made homeless, whilst
the inhabitants of her associate States,
who provoked and procured the war,
would sit secure and safe from harm on
their barren hills. The history of the
past and the present deplorable condition
of our country show es that such must
inevitably be the condition of our great
S'ate in ease of a separation. Her staid
and sober and conservative counsels
would be disregarded arid she would be
come the prey of fanatical theorists and
abstractionists, who, in despite of the his•
tory of man, would still in the nineteenth
century force on their fellows their own
opinions of politics, morals and religion
with fire and sword. While such has ever
been my opinion of the rebellion and of
what most be the position of Pennsylva-
Ma with regard to it, there are other im
portant matters which can never be lost
sight of in considering these most import
me sulijects. The Southern States have
committed a great crime in producing this
rebellion ; but is the fault wholly and eLi,
tirely theirs? Does no part of it)tr at
oils own doors ? Have we acted,,e d - r , to cur
part of the compact? H. we eurren•
derail up fugitives from abor ? Have we •
acted with our Se - ern brethren in a
spirit of frat liiry ? In the latter days of
...Axe
thh ''' "‘ .ic, before we became intosicati
ed with too much prosperity—in the times
of the fathers of the Republic, who made
our institutions, and of the geriert,tion
which_ immediately succeeded them,
we did - all these things and we be
come a great and mighty p6Wer on the
earth. We ext. , tided our possessiens
from ocean to ocean. The produce of our
loom's was carried to every clime and our
commerce was upon every sea. Tee West
had sprung up as if by magic. The Mis•
fossil:10 Valley hail been people rl, as d the
ptoi.eer from the Pacific was hast'eeteg
with rapid strides to meet his fellow teen ;
eer from the Attatic. Bat we had among
us a roischievcins and disturbing race,
some of whom were overgodly righteous,
and otherr, of whom were determined to
gain political power no matter at what
cost to the country, or how many lives
were sacrificed in obtaining it. Sentimen•
taliets from New England who could
always see the mote in their brother's eye
but ever failed to discover one in their
own, adopted the opinions of Old Eng-
land and raised the cry that slavery was the
national sin and that we must purify our
selves. They were not content that those
who committed the sin ahonld suffer for
t' .e guilt of it ; but they must become
moral reformers generally, and instead of
oddrening themselves to the conscience
and sensibilities of the so-called sinners,
vituperation and falsehood were the in•
strumeote most commonly employed to
produce reform. Some of the northern
eel western presses were daily filled with
effasions of the most bitter character, and
books in which the writers drew solely
upon their imaginations for their facts,
were widely circulated, their authors feted
and caressed by their co workers in this
country and England.
The English press, owned and controll
ed by men who perceived that the only
mode to preserve their own institutions
was to secure the downfall of ours, joined
in the cry, and thus a sentiment was being
constantly reflected back to and from the
shores of new and old England. The con
eeqiieuce of these agitations was a substi
tution of hate for the love that had former
ly existed between the different members
of the Union - a severance of churches and
a weaLening of the bonds which had
forinerly united us. Politicians who had
failed to secure power by the political i's
sues of the day, seized on this new hobby as
they had done on Anti-Masonry, Native
Americanism, Know Nothingism, and all
the kindred "ism," of the day. Personal
liberty bills were passed at their instance
by the diffsrent legislatures cf the North
and West. The object of these bills was
to throw all the difficulties possible in the
way of the master reclaiming his fugitive
slave, to make void that clause in the
Constitution providing for the rendition of
fugitives from labor, mad to nullify the
laws passed by Congress to carry it into
effect. By this same class of men the doe•
trines of • irrepressible conflict" and that
this Government cannot exist half slave
and half free were s.. irted—doctrines the
very enunciation of which in the eailier
days of the Republic, would have called
down on the heads of the authors the exe
cration of every citizen, and they would
have been avoided as foes to their country
and traitors. These and kindred topics
were repeated day atter day at every ses
sion of Congress. Legislators, instead of
attending to the interests and legislation
of the country, were busily employed by
day and night in preparing insidious and
inflammatory speeches which were circu•
lated in every part of the land. In these
ways a public sentiment was created and a
purely sectional party was formed which
culminated in 1856 by the nomination of
two citizens, both of them from the free
States, for the offices of President and
Vice Presidant, and on a platform deeply
injurious to the sentiments and interests of
the people of fifteen States of the Union.
Failing at that election, the same agitation
was kept up, the same means were used.
and members of the Senate and House
were daily concocting and distributing
their poisons. The public mind became
perverted and purely sectional candidates
—men committed by speeches, votes and
platforms against the restitutions of the
South—w, re elected in 1860 to the offices
of Presidentand Vice President. After this
brief summary, I ask again, is the fault
wholly with the South. Place yourselves
in their position : suppose that in 1860
the electoral vote of the slave States had
been more in number than the electoral
votes of the free States, and that they had
nominated and elected, in despite of you,
and after villifying you, your pursuits and
institutions, two citizens, both from the
slave States, to the offices of President
and Vice President, what would have
been your feelings? Would it have been
pleasant for you inhabitants of a free
State, equal under the Corstitution to any
other member of the Confederacy, to be
utterly ignored in tee administration of
the affairs of- the Republic? Would you
like to submit to the mere power of num•
hers, though you should feel arid know
that you had been degraded, and formed
no longer any part of the governing pow
er
of the country? That the Constitution 1
of the United States was to you a myth—
that its spirit was deAtroyed, though its'
forms were observed, and that you were
no longer a co-equal in sovereignty?
Would ybu have suffered the Southern
States to become your masters, for such
they would certainly have . become if the
state of things I have pictured had taken
place? Could you continue to respect a'
form of government which had thus be.
come perverted and turned from its orig
inal purpose of securing freedom and
equal rights and privileges to all, whether
dwelling in the North or South? These
que- ,"ions are important to be answered
whit you ask yourselves the question,
"D. es the fault lie wholly with the South?"
Instead of the South having the majority
in the electoral colleges, the North had
the preponderance, and they used the
power oftanmbers, and the questions I
have presented to you must have arisen
in the miud'of every citizen of the South.
Most men, when they reach power, en
deavor to enjoy it peacefully. They try
to keep their old friends attached to them.
and surround themselves with new !ara ;
but with the leading members of the
present administration, from the:. day of
the election, the words "coneiliation" and
"compromise," terms never forgotten by
the statesmen of the Revolution and the
generation which followed them, seemed to
be contemned and despised. New and
unaccustomed to power, they seemed to
think that any yielding will be au evidence
of weakness on their past, and an ac
knowledgment of inferiority. The Presi
dent in bis lengthened journey to the
Capitol, with a country convulsed on
every side, the Southern portion_hel=swe'
ing from his speeches that he - as their
foe and hostile to their eiantinaa, in
stead of elevating kijk...self to the dignity.
of his position tie-er pacifying the alarms
of men of Ja-t 11. y section, could only ex
claim ',., 4 2b - body's hurt," The earnecontee
r . =rsued by himself and his political
". ends through all the scenes that fol
lowed his arrival at the Capitol. Force
and coercion seemed to be the only words
and thoughts known to him. Atter Mr.
Crittenden, one of the last of a band of
statesmen now unhappily no longer exist
ing among us, proposed his compromise,
one word from the President to hie friends
would have secured its adoption, but he
preserved a dogged silence. A peace
convention was called at the instance of
Virginia. At that convention were as
sembled delegates from all except the
cotton States. Some of the Governors
sent statesmen and patriots, but our Chikf
Magistrate, following the example of
other Republican Governors, could not
raise himself, even in those convulsive
times, above the level of party, but sent.
there some of the moat obnoxious and
anti - eomeromising men in the nation, to
represent a State, a great majority of
wcose inhabitants be knew to be krone ly
conservative on the subject of slavery.
For Leis act, if for no other, he deserves
the severest reprobation of every citizen.
It was not a time for expediency, nor for
conciliating voters in a particular section
of the State, but for profOund statesman•
ship; but with a re - nomination and re
election in view, he trifled with and disre
garded the holiest interests of hia State
and country. Any action by that conven
tion which would have been useful to the
country, was prevented bya faction within
the body, and when their recommenda
tions reached Congress they were utterly
disregarded. No compromise was the
watchword. if we compromise there will
be a rupture in the party, and to prevent
that the most destructive war of modern
times has been inaugurated. What think
you of a party which has to be cemented
and kept alive with the blood of the citi—
zen?
revolutionary France such parties
existed, but parties heretofore in this
country have prospered or perished as
their principles were approved or :ejected
by a majority of the American people:
In the rejection of all compromise,
Southern secessionism and Norteern re
publicanism alike triumphed. The South •
ern mind was sufficiently fired up and acts
of secession were passed in State alter
State. Senators and members withdrew
from their seats and left the uncontrolled
possession of the legislative branch of the
Government in the hands of the Repubii -
can party. The attempt to break up th $
beneficent . form of Governmett by seces
sion was a fearful remedy, and fearfully
has it already cost them. Great as were
their wrongs they could have been reme•
died under the Constitution; and until•the
legislative power of the Government op
[weed to the Republican party, no harm
could have been done to them or their
institutions. The sober second thorght
would have returned to a great mej iricy
of the northern people and they would
have hurled from power, as soon as they
could reach them, the men who would
rather see their country than their
party ruptured. But the Southern Slates
did not choose to wait, but commenced the
war by attacking and taking Fort Sum•
ter. The North and West rose to arms to
vindicate their flag and save their country
from disruption, ana never in the history
of the world were a people actuated by a
loftier or more patriotic spirit. Party ties
were forgotten, old antagonisms were lost
sight of, and men who had been the stroog•
eat opponents of the administration and
of the principles which brought it into •
power, vied with its friends in procuring
the men and means to put down the re
bellion. The members of the House of
Representatives, at the called session,
showed the same commendable spirit;
but when they met- in December a large
majority of them and of the members of
the Senate seemed to have forgotten their
country and acted and voted as if they de•
sired its permanent disruption. All pro•
positions of a conciliatory character by
which a Union sentiment could be cher
ished and fostered in the South, were
spurned and rejected, and in their stead
laws were enacted which consolidated the
South and gave additional strength to the
rebellion. The leaders in Congress seem
ed to be acting in concert with the leaders
of the rebellion, and while they were
Iplaying out their game thousands on
both sides were dying'on the battle•field.
That the majority in Congress bad no de
sign to restore the Union to what it Was,
was very apparent from the commence—
ment of the regular session. The armies
were raised, the means had been procured,
the men were in the field and they meant
to abolish slavery. The solemn declare
