How They can Talk about the
Union Soldiers.

The Cincinnati Commercial is Sec

pretensions about being in favor of
putting down the rebellion. While
making these hypocritical pretensions,
it permits correspondent writing from
Athens, Alabama, under date of May
Is, 1862, to write thus about our brave
soldiers, which it cheerfully publishes:
One Of the most disgraceful outrages ever
perpetrated during this war was the indis-
crsminate and general sacking of this city, by
certain forces in Col Turchin's brigade

whom were armed. Without waiting to

the town was sacked. When it is remember.

only then under threat OF devastation by
her neighboring towns the injustice Of the
sacking will be the more apparent.
Stores were opened, and their contents
carried away by the soldiers and negroes
Several safes were broken open, and robbed Of
thousands OF dollars. Silver plate amount.

John A. Bingham in Favor of
Flooding Ohio with Negroes.

Here is the record-no dodging this
time-attempts to make Bingham con-
servative just before an election here.
after will be useless. He will have to
face the rusic. Here it is. ...
During debate in Congress on the
21st inst, the following colloquy occur
red-by which it will be seen that
JOHN A. BINGHAM goes in for admit
ting freed negroes into Ohio:
Mr.. MALLORY (U,) OF Kentucky, be-
lieved that at the present juncture of public
affairs it would be inexpedient to adopt any
act Of confscation or forfeiture of the estates
of the rebels engaged in this wicked rebel
lion, with which, it was known he had no
sympathy. In the course Of his remarks he
said that the scoundrels and traitors, both in
the North and South, had discovered that
the agitation Of the slavery question was ore
of the most efficient weapons for the destruc-
ton OF this Government, and accordingly a.
vailed themselves OF it. He declared the
condition of slavery was the very best in
which the African race can be placed, and he
had no respect for that species OF conduct
which would turn the negroes free, but yet
exclude them from the free States. The
Lord deliver him from such benevolence!-
whose only objects was to make the slaves
outcasts.
Mr.. BINGHAM (Rep) Of Ohio, replied
that a majority Of the free States do not ex-
clude them.
Mr.. MALLORY (Union,) inquired wheth
er the gentleman would throw open the
doors OF tho great and noble State OF Ohio
to three millions Of freed negroes?
Mr.. BINGHAM. The doors are open
now.
Mr.. MALLORY wished to know whether
the gentleman was willing that the blacks
should compete with white labor? When
the blacks swarm the State like locusts the
gentleman would close the door by legisia'
tion.
Mr.. BINGHAM had no idea that any
man born on our soil should be excluded
from the limits of any State.
: Mr.. COX said the sentiments of his col
leage (Mr. Bingham) we're not the sentiment
fof the people OF Ohio. AS soon as the Dem
4 ocrats regain power, they will close the door
I Mr.. MALLORY concluded his remarks
when the House adjourned.
A mans vote tells his principles
, IF he votes for Bingham he is in favo
of Binghams abolitionism. Ever.
man that is IN favor of Ohio bein
filled with negroes will vote for Nj
> Bingham. If he is opposed to it h
u will vote against Bingham.
u As we said before, it will be useles
i for any one hereafter to attempt

How Much they are I'm Favor Of
Putting Down the Rebellion.

A large majority of the members of
the present Ohio Legislature were
elected on account of their pledges
that they were willing to do any and
everything to aid the Government in
helping to put down the rebellion
That their pledges and "gassy" talk
about restoring the Union was all hum
bug, and that they are a grand set Of
hypocrites, we will let the Ohio State
Journal, of last Saturday tell, as fol-
lows:-
Gov. Tod, like his great father Abraham,
is not afraid to shoulder the responsibility OF
his acts, when the welfare and safety of the
country calls for extra measures. The Leg
islature made no provision for emergencies
like the present. Although bill organizing
the State Militia was prepared with great
care and labor, by our late efficient Adjutant
General, yet, for the reason that it involved
the expenditure oil lew thousand dollars,
| the Legislature adjourned without adopting
| it, No provision was made for carrying on
the State Arsenal or the State laboratory,
vet the work OF manufacturing ordnance
stores was ordered to be carried forward,
and the United States have agreed to refund
all past and future necessary outlays. But
these works must be carried on, and the
Governor takes the responsibility to keep
them going.
In the present emergency there is no pro-
vision for the transportation and organization
of troops; but Gov. Tod assumes the respon.
sibility Of providing all things needful, and
will not allow the cause Of the Union to flag
and die simply because the Legislature were
afraid to make the requisite appropriations,
or else were too penurious to do it. AS we
said before, Gov. Tod, like his great father
Abraham, is not afraid to bear the response,
bility Of his acts when the good OF the coun'
try demands it.
The Journal is the organ of the Re
publican party in Ohio.
1t is pretty good maxim that mer
who make loud and boisterous profes'
sions, are almost universally acting the
hypocrite, and the majority of the
members of the present Ohio Leglsla'
ture are no exceptions to this maxim
