Lewis Davis Campbell announced in the press that he was leaving the Republican Party over a plank in the recently voted party platform that supported allowing unnaturalized foreigners the vote after a six month residence. Lewis, who had served in Congress in the past as a Whig and a Know-Nothing and in the future as a Democrat, had become famous when a Democratic Congress had unseated him in favor of Clement Vallandigham in 1858.
