The above shows very plainly that Bing-
ham is determined "to resist the extension
Of Slavery" at the tune Of IS day. for
which he has thus far received $l63. lie is
standing "on the side Of Freedom and JUS
ice" at the rate of 50 for every twenty miles
Of travel between this and Washington City.
And for $1,000. the pay of his term, he tells
US that he will still stand on the same side.
Oh, what condescensior Bin cham foam.
ing, fretting and scratching his lead at 58
a day $50 resist the extension Of Slavery"
Who'd thunk it?" His feelings will all
be poured out ior poor black (whi,e is not
included in his lisD down trolden humanity
when he receives his S3 600. After that is
done his tears will all be dried up. We
shall hear Of no more negro sympathy from
him.
But seriously, what has Johnny done
since he has been in Congress, that there
should be "huzzab" sent up for him?
Simply this: The first 10 or 20 ballots he
cast his votes for Lewis D. Campbell, Of 0
ho for Speaker. lie then DESERTED
Campbell and went for Banks. Why did
he desert Campbell? Mr.. Campbell tells US
The reason why he done so in speech that
he made when lie declined tie be considered
any longer candidate. and which we pub
| IiShed, which is this: "that he could not be
elected Speaker unless he would sacrifice bis
ANIISLAVERY principles, acd that he
would not do" Two ballots before Mr.. G
declined, this great (?) friend of "Frcedon
and Justice" John A. Bingham, deserted
him. And we suppose this is what tht
''huzzoh" is sent up or--Bngham desert
ing one of his own Ohio men.
Bingham'e desertion of Campbell can be
explained still further, thus: Bingham is
candidate for the u S. Senate; so is Camp
bell. If Campbell was elected Speaker,
Toald greatly enhance his chances for tha
Office over Bingham. AMI in order TO kee
Campbell from being elected. Bingham de
serted him on. the 2nd ballot before he with
drew. And yet he is going "to stick t
Freedom and Justice!' "OA. git mi,'
Writing silly letters for publication ik
the one above, has been the political deaf
Of many better man than Bingham; and a
private friend of Bngham's, we woIld ad
wise hira never to touch his hand to anothe
one for publication. Even this one Of Bing
hams is so flat and silly, that our neighbo
of the Republican is ashamed of it, as i
shown by his suppressing part Of it; as tn
line of I'M in the middle of the letter ndi
Gates; and it is soid, by those who shoult
know. that he never would have pu5lishe,
a line of it, had he not been forced to do S
by Bingham's law partne".
Those that have been regular readers {
the proceedings Of Congress, will see tn;
Bingham's prominent political trait--hypo'
:, ricy--sticks out in this silly letter as bold
d you would wish to see it. We suppose !
c thinks that he can still carry on his old p
litical game successfully that he has bas
practising in this community forthe last
!. teen ye ars-that Of trying to gull the pc
pie; but we think that the ides of next Oct
70 Der will bring to his vision the thrilling al
. startling fact, that kis days OF humbuggir
* the people are at an end. Go mote it be.
