Hon. John A. Bingham made "so,called"
war speech at the Republican go called"
war NEE ing last Saturday. lie never said
nigger "onst," but closed the performance by
having his man Friday" propose an add
tional tax on the people Of Tuscarawas OF
fifty thousand dollars.
When Mr.. Bingham commenced going to
Congress eight years ago, the country was at
peace with all the world, we had no direct
taxes to pay, no internal convulSions harrass.
ed this peopIe-our rational debt was only
forty millions-the annual expenditures were
only some fifty milions--we had thirty>two
States in the Union, and as President Pierce
then said in his annual message, lit was o
matter Of congratulation that the republic
was TRANQUILITY advancing 10 career of pros
perity and peace"
Now, what is the contrast. But nineteen
States left-al Europe against us--a ma ion
al debt Of thousand millions OF dollars--an
annual expense ofsix hundred millions dol
lars, while the receipts are only one tenth
that sum from customs-a direct tax of one
hundred and fifty millions year as long as
we live, simply TO ray interest on the ma.
tional debt-a million OF men and brothers
In arms cutting each others throats--tomb
stones all over the land marking the graves
OF two hundred thousand dead heroes--wid
ows and orphans by thousands sending up
their wailngs so loud that the angels in
Heaven weep over their calamities.
Has MIR. Bingham had nothing to do with
all this? Let the country and the records OF
Congress answer. II it is said he acquired
no influence to stay the desolation, then
eight years congressional life IS enough for
him. THE did acquire the influence and
failed to exert it, then il is eight years too
much, ,--Mew Philadelphia Democrat.

it is impossible to predict with GER

we do not doubt, philanthropists ex-

and selfshness, is usually kind hearted.
He is not philanthropic enough to be
indiscriminately lood-thirsty, and his
mind, perhaps. narrowed and confined
by his'servile condition, does not readi-
ly rise to that pitch of lofty indigna-

Melancholy Death.

By a note from our friend, Ezra Brainard.
we learn the following particulars OF the
melancholy death ofan estimable young lady,
the wife of Mr.. John Hitchcock, OF Rush
Township. On wednesday, 18th inst, Mr..
Hitchcock left home for Deersville, his wife
going with him as far as to his fsther's.--
He bought dose of calomel, and some
strychnine, and they both returned home
in the evening. After getting home, she
took the strychnine, mistaking it for the CAL
omel, and was dead almost before her hus
band could get any Of the neighbors in--only
two got there in time to see her alive, Soon
after taking the strychnlne, she called her
husband IN, who was busy doing the evening
chores, and told him she had singular feel
ing lie looked, and So W that she had taken
the poison, instead of the dose Of calomel.--
He at once ran to his nearest neighbor, Mr..
Wagstaff, for aid. When Mr.. w. reached
the house the suffering woman seemed anx
ious to live; but soon afterwards became
reconciled to die. Her sufferings were in

To Hon. Horacs Greeley:
DEAR SIR--I have Just read yours OF the
18th inst, addressed to myself through the
New York Tribune. II there be in it any
statements or assumption OF TACT which l
may know to be erroneous, | do not now
and here c0ntrovert them. II there be any
inference, which may believe to be falsely
drawn, do not now and here argue against
them. II there be perceptlble in it any i'm
pudent or dicta' orial tone, waive it in def
erencs to an old friend whose heart always
supposed to be right.
AS to the policy seem to be pursuing, as
you say, have not meant to leave any one
in doubt. l would save the Union; l would
save it in the shortest way under the Con
sitution. The sooner the national author
ity can pc restored, the nearer the Union
will be the Union as it was. II there be
those who would not save the Union, unless
they could at the same time save slavery, |
do not agree with them. If there be those
who would not save the Union, unless they
could, at the same time, destroy slavery,
do not agree with them.
My paramount object is to save the Union,
and not either to save or destroy slavery. If
could save the Union without freeing any
slaves, | would do it; and il could do 1t by
freeing all slaves, would do it; and if l
could save it by freeing some and leaving
others alone, would also do that. What l
do about slavery and the colored race, do
because believe it helps to save this Union
and what l forbear, | forbear because do
not believe it would help to save the Union.

am doing hurt to the cause, and | shall do
more whenever believe dong more will

when shown to be errors, and shall adopt

views. have here stated my purpose ac-
cording to my view Of official duty, and
intend no modification OF my of-expressed
personal wish that all men everywhere
could be free. Yours,
