publication, your reasons why Union Demo

JosEPn KiNsEy, Esq, 90,
Dear Sir:-In compliance with your re-
Quest of the l2lh, i herewith submit veiy
briefly some of the more important reasons
why all honest Union Democrats and Con.
servatiye Republicans are not only at liberty
TO vote against Mr.. bingham, butare in duty
bound to do so. None but those who honi
estly agree in sentiment with Mr.. bingham
ought 10 vote for him, and I feel well as
sured that none ofthe Democrats who voted
the Union tiekst last iah entertain the terri
BILE ultra opinions held by hm. / am com
PEELED TO believe that but small portion oil
The Republicans in this district agree with
him. My reasons for opposing his election
are as follows: ni.as 2da at' sipte {'sfa
lst. Mr.. Bingham is in favor Of liberating
the A, ,QO0, 900. slaves by, congressional legis-
lation. in violation OF the Constitution OF the
United States and his own solemn oath TO
support that instrument. The uAiiorm rul
ing Of our courts has been, that congress has
no power to -legislate upon the subject o.
slavery within the several States. Such has
been the doctrine Of every political party
that ever existed in this country except the
GMrisonian Abolitionists. Mr., Bingham, on
this subject takes direct issue with the pres.
ept Administration, and with every political
party except the Abolition party. In his
speech In congress, delivered the 10Th o.
January last, Mr.. Bingham said: 9. ,s.T
"Pass your law liberatiug the 4,0O0O0C
slaves held by the rebels, and thereby break
every unjust yoke in that rebel region, and
| let the oppressed go free. Sir why should
not the 4,oOa 600 slaves held by these reb
els, and by whose unpaid toll this rebellion
wased By half million, of traitors ing arms arm
is sustained, be by a law OF congress declared
freemeh, and forever released from their un
willing sersitude? Do this, and crown yonr
selves with Immortal honor of giving lihertl
to one portion OF our people and seren'
| blessings of peace to another .,.t. 81. d.
Many other quotations could be made
required, but he cannot deny his position Z
be as above stated. | would, also, here reie
you to the editorial in the. Tusearawas Ad
yocate OF February 9TH, 1862, republished il
the Ohio Demoeiat Of last week. Mr.. Bing
ham is, therefore, as complete an Abolition
/ ist as lives. He demands the liberation o
every slave in the, country. None can dc
mand more. But the great wrong, tn
dreadful sin, consists in his desire to Ilberat
4 these slaves in violation of the Constituiiot
Of the United, States and Of his solemn oat
/ to support that sacred instrument. tl rgs.
End. Mr. Bingham is also in favor OF al
/ lowing these four million negroes, or as man
OF them as wish, to come to Ohio and crow
eyery department of labor, to the exclusio
Of white laborers. During the last scssao
OF congress, in running ross-tire betwee
/, Messrs, Mallory, Cox and Bingham, the lo
! lowing was said
t MrgMalIory asked: 0&j ae9H 9>.ys sss4
.'What. then,i do1 you propose to do wit

no, you contemplate no such condition,

IL desire TO say to the gentleman that
have no idea myself that under any possit
v pressure I will ever consent that any M
!. born upon the soil ofthis Republic, by al
d vote Or word OF mine, shall be excluded fro
,t the limits ofany State, my own included.
* "Mr. Cox. ] will say that the sentime
\ Of my colleague is not the sentiment Of
OF people OF Ohio; and that as soon as tn
sr have char,ce to restore the Democra
II party. they will keep out the blacks q
prevent their competing with, white labor.
's1 "Mr. BINGHAM. | have no doubt OF th
"a but it will be a good while, after this beit
lei they will have the power"

NJ the power may give him by my vote to ci
re' the people Of my native State In SO dread
is manner as to allow hall million or m,
ID negroes to come here and commingle v
r our white people. ] agree with Preside
Lincoln, who. in his speech 10 deputat
., ofcolored people, said: iega 81
- nWhen you cease TO be slaves you are
lg hr removed from being placed on an equI
IS " with the white race. You are cut
rom many, of the advantages which the o
ut er race enjoy. The aspiration Of man i
TO enjoy equality with the best when free,
ie. on this broad continent not . single mai
ly ours. Y % s5lsese you are treated the best,
~ the ban is stii fipos, you." ilas isg sie
Here Mr., ,Macelp lays down the law !
'ur the negro must emigrate, If freed thai
ds, can never live peacsably on an equality y
the white man.
ed Sd. Mr. Bingham Is in favor Of giving
