When Mr.. Bingham got up to speak no
received greeting that should make him
feel proud. He was the candidate Of the
Union party Of this District for Congress
last Fall, and owing to the absence of sew.
eral thousand Union voters in the armies
Of the Republic was defeated. Our people
admire him for his devotion to principles
and his transcendent ability. That is what
those cheers meant when he stepped to the
front Of the platform. Mr.. Bingham made
probably the ablest speech that was made
during the day. His logic was compact,
and his oloquence sublime and irresistible.
A large part Of tho audience had been
standing and listening to able speeches for
nearly four hours, and wo were afraid they
would be too tired to listen to Mr. Bingham;
but as soon as Gov. Peirpoint sat down, and
even while the Band was playing, there
were lsud and continued calls for "Bing

when he got up he was received with en-
thusiastic cheers. Mr.. Bingham spoke
about on hour aud half, and held the vas,

flag Of company Z. (Capt. Cordner,) 0Sth
Regiment, was brought down to the meet.

he closed the crowd gave him q bumper,

at his feot. Some OF our fair Union ladies
also presented boquets to Cows. Tod and
Peirpoint and to Mr.. Galloway, after they
had finished speaking.
