sDem sif:Afn compliance with your re-
quest of the 18th, herewith submit very
briefly some OF the moro important reasons
why all honest Union Democrats and Con-
servatiye Republicans are not only at liberty
taevote against Mr. Bingham, bat are in duty
bonnd 10 do SO. J None but thoser who hon
estly agree in sentiment with Mr.. Bingham
ought to vote for him, and feel well as
sured that noneAofthe Democrats who voted
the Union ticket last all entertain the terri
BILE ultra opinions held by HIM. l am COM
PEELED to believe that but a small portion oil
the Republicans in this district agree with
him. My reasons for opposing his election
are as 3ollows: 6Ek E# 80 vsF
1st. Mr.. Bingham is in favor Of liberating
the 100000 slaves by congressional legls-
lation, ,siuxiolation OF the Constitution Of the
United States and his own solemn oath to
support that instrument. The uniform rul-
ing d our courts, has been, that congress has
no power TO legislate upon the subject oil
slavery within the several States. Such has
been. the doctrine Of every political party
thatSeyer existed in this country except the
Garrisouian Abolitionists. Mr.. Bingham, on
this subject, takes direct issue with the pres
ent Administration, and with every political
party except the Abolition party. In his
speech in congress, delivered the 10th OF
January last, Mr.. Bingham said v d. III
Pass your law liberating the 4 600, 600
slaves held by the rebels, and thereby break
every.ubiust yoke in that rebel region, and
let the oppressed 20 free. Sir, why should
not the 1000 600 slaves held by these reb
els, and by whose unpaid toll this rebellion,
waged by half a million Of traitors in arms,
is sustained, be by a law of congress declared
freemen, and for ever released from their un-
willing seryitude? Do this, and crown yonr.
selves with immortal honor OF giving liberty
to one portion OF cur people and serene
blessings of peace to another M
Many other quotations could be made il
required, but he cannot deny his position TO
be as above stated i would, also, here refer
youto the editorial in the ruscarawas Ad-
votate Of February Eth, 1862, republished in
the Ohio Demociat Of last week. Mr.. Blng-
ham is therefore, as complete 40 Abolition.
ist as lives, He demands the liberation 0
every slave in the country. None can de
rnand, more. But the great wrong, the
dreadful sin, consists in his desire to liberatt
these slaves in violation Of the Constitution
Of the United States and Of his solemn oatf
to support that sacred instrument. t%
End. Mr.. Bingham is also in favor of al
lowing these four million negroes or IS many
o. them as wish, to come to Ohio and crowe
every department Of labor, to the exclusion
of whitelaborers. During the last session
of congress; In running cross FIRE betwee'
Messrs Mallory, Cox and Bingham, the fol
lowing was said: ~ -
