JOhn A. Bingham, the Nigger WOr
shipping Candidate for Congress
ON Negro Equality

Among the interrogatories propounded BY
John A. Bingham to Mr.. Richardson, pending
the election ofSpeaker of the House Of Repre-.
sentatives last winter We find number three
as taken from the Congressional Globe--as fol.
lows: 9
"Do you believe in the equality Of the chit
and BLACK races in the United States, and dc
you wish to promote that equality by legiSIo-
tonr'
Mr.. Bingham would not vote for Mr.. Rchard.
son for Speaker, unless the latter answered the
above question in the affirmative
Mr.. B. is in favor of negro equality, and wish
es to promote that equality by legislation--and
TIE question now is, will the people of the 2lst
Congressional District endorse tho sentiments
of this niger worshipping candidate Of the
Black republicans by sending him back to Con,
gress? .-..
Negro equality includes both political and SO
cial equality. The principle that allows then
to vote, makes them the associates Of the white
man, and the suitors Of white women--includes
amalgamation, and leads to disgusting and hor-
rible consequences .,.....e !.
We are no advocates for the enslayemept o.
this degraded race, but we bitterly oppose civ
ing them any part in the control ofour govern
ment, and we know this is the sentiment b
nine tenths ofyoters in the district. K
Will honest men support representative
who on a question Of such magnitude, ,entertains
opinions so opposite to theirs? aGa
Keepit before the people that John A. Bing.
ham thinksa Niger as good as white man
and will try to promote that equality BY legisla.

CONCLUSION.


The Abolition Party claims that local
laws should be forced upon the people of the
Territories.
The Democracy claim that the people
in the Territories should make their own local
laws-that man in territory is as capable O
knowing what is best for himself as man in a
State, and should, permitted by the Constitu.
ton of the U. S. have an opportunity to vote fol
what he wants.
The Abolition Party claims that slavery
must be restricted by Congress, and for that
purpose they desire to have an Abolition Cong
ress and Executive.
The Democracy claim that slavery mus
and will be restricted by the increased intelli
Eence and morals ofthe people-by the MAORI
ty which non Shareholders have over slavehold.
ers--by the superiority Of white labor over blacl
labor-by the immigration from Europc-by
mechanical invention and activity--by the inev
liable workings of the desire to make mor'
money than can be made out of slave labor--by
the will Of God and by the Colonization socie
! ties.
The Abolition Party would die if thor
was no slavery to howl about.
The Democratic Party lived when sla
very was not an issue and will live when slavery
| is dead. a-a. g- a.
Take away Slavery and the whole
political capital Of the Abolition party--itl
whole rganzation-dissolves like frost in thu
sunshine. .s.a -y.rr.gs
Take away Slavery and the Democra
/ cy will move proudly on like noble old steet
who has been relieved of Fostering gad- fy;-s
until it is taken away, Democracy will work
constitutionally against it-but its presence Of
| its absence neither makes nor destroys Democ.
ratio principles.
The Abolition party is the Fremont par
ty--the Fremont Party is the Abolition par

Twins and the death of one would kill the 9th

SEPTEMBER 18th, 1856.
Gentlemen: Having seen, from time to time,
the most abusive and unjust attacks made upon
my son James B. Clay in The Louisville Journal,
| had hoped that among the many who have
professed to be the friends of the father might
be found some willing and anxious to vindicate
the son, knowing, as many ofthem must know,
the injustice and untruths contained in those
attacks. But as such hopes appear to be efruit-
less, repugnant as it is to me to appear in any
way before the public, feel that it is duty
that | owe to the memory of my husband, to say
to you his executors, and through you to the
public, that the charges made against my son
James are utterly and unqualfiedly false; that
hc possessed the love, respect and confidence ol
his father, and was ever to both his father and
myself, a most alfectionate and dutiful son; al.
ways endeavoringt to alleviate our sorrows and
add to our happiness. r'f -e -
His father took his advice in the making ofhis
last will, and at all times advised and consulted
freely and attectionately with him, having con-
fidence in his love, integrity and judgment.
