white men; as clearly indicated in his ad
dress written last spring to be adopted BY
the Republican members OF congress, but
which they fatty repudiated. on account OF
this terrible 'beresy. In that address he
saids,
!, rShiver. The kttsrs that bind them, and
they will rise from the degradation Of slaves

Who docs not know that equality in rights
privileges, and immunities constitutes the
dignity Of freemen?' To raise the negroes.
therefore. to the dignity Of freemen' re
duires that they shall enjoy equal rights,
privileges and immunilies with white iree-
men. Thus Mr.. b. shows himself in iavct
Of liberatiug the four million o. negro slaves,
allowing them 10 come to Ohio, TO yete here,
hold office, sit as Judges OF courts, as jurors,
and side and side with white children in our
schools; in hort enjoy all that may by law
be enioyed by white people! How else could
they ''rise to the dignity Of freemenr' Ii
Garrison demands more for the negro than
Bingham does, then fail to see it. When
the negro rises to the dignity ofa freeman,'
what more can he desire? Yet no one would
expect me to vote for Garrison. And what
| is the difference between them on this sub
iect? Garrison claims to belong 10 the Gar
risonian Abolitionists. Bingham claims to
belong to the Republicans. Yet both men
have the same faith, demand for the negro
the same things, and support the same doc
I lTines. . .- --t7.
President Lincoln clearly repudiates the
whole OF Bingham's negro dignity doctrine.
Alb. Mr. Bingham insists that eleven
States have lost their existence as States by
reason of the rebellion, doctrine terrible in
the extreme, II Bingham is right our Gov
Iernment is destroyed, and we are not Gov
Eernment Of "a States, but Of 23 only. This
administration has very properly all the tiue
insisted that it is not in the power OF the
rebels 10 destroy the Government, to sever
. the States or to take State oat,oi the IN
t ion--that those rebels aIe refractory and en-
deavoIing to do the very thing Bingham
claims they have done, and that the Govern
ment is endeavoring to whip them into obe-
r Edience as States. and not as Territoues,
. oenqtered Provinces, or my thing else.r MI.
/ Bingham, on the contrary, insists that in all
. this the Administration IS mistaken and
wrong. In his speech in congress on the l2th
lof March, he said: 81 q q 3 10 -
aNow, sir, l wish 10 say that not one oI
the eleven rebel States is to day State in
4 the Union" .s.rff ,...,. - s.l..,sh III.
I And, again, in the same speech he said: q,
Il u"Who. in the name of heaven, wants the
cotton States IN the Union or in any other
Y place than the State ofperdition, il they are
S only to be in the y MON on condition that,
: fromydayto day, from generation 10 genera
Y tion, and from age to age, slavery, this new
y ciyilizer of the children of Dahemey, shall
continue "a <rF
n tThus he declares himself opposed to the
re-establishment Of peace, unless slavery
d |shall be abolished. @D HG7# so
!. 9th. Mr. Bingham repudiates the main
: portion OF the Union platform adopted in the
II Ohio u nion State Convention last year, and
re affirmed this year without opposition eK
u cept by Mr. Bingham, The last part OF the
following resolution is that portion to which
z Mr.. Bingham objects:
!. Resolvea "That the present deplorabl'
e civil war has been forced upon the country
o by the dsunionsts of the Southern States
l. now in revolt against the Constitutional
S Government, AMI in arms around the Capt.
81 oil. .'E
IS That in this national emergency we banisl
y oil feeling Of mere passion or resentment
70 IA i'll reeolect only cur duty to the Who'll
IN country; that this war was not wased upoi
5. our part in auy spirit Of oppression, nor 70
Al any purpose OF overthrowing or inter!erin
is with the rights or established institutions c
Of the States; but to defend and maintain tn
supremacy Of the Constitution, and to pre-
70 serve the Union, with ell the dignity, equal
k ity and rights of the several States unin
"a paired; and as soon as these objects are &C
Id compllshed; the war ought to cease"
5 On the 22d day of July, 1861, John j
n, Crfttenden. having offered this resolution !
g, congress, Mr.. Burnet, of KY, demanded
ID division OF the resolution, which was ordss
n. ed, and the yeas and nays demanded. M
+. bingham voted yea on the first part, BIT
w when the vote was taken on the last part,
le left his seat in congress and refused to yot
r. Tor it. He refusrd TO vote for the Unio
If platform on the 9th OF Sept. 1861, in II
TO State convention. He again refused to vo
er for il on the 2lst Of August, 1862, althoue
d. he was delegate and present each time
in And thus he has three times wlfully refuse
2. to adopt the Union platform on which Il
n so-called Union State ticket is now runniI
Of and being supported. He opposes this pla
e form manirestly because his doctrine Of pro
he ecuting the war for the purpose Of liberatil
tie the slaves is distinctly repudiated by it,
on Mr.. Binghams position is correctly stat
