Tbe Conversational Canvass.

III DJ OluirsNlllt, Ou is,sb EilO'oJ O'S" i
ing The Court Room was packed full
of people, and Mr. Bingham held the
undivided attention of his audience for
about two hours in speech Of great
power and eloquence He completely Z
exhausted the whole subject, and held
up the conspirators against the Gov
ernment and human liberty, known as
the modern, patent Democratic party,
to the scorn and indignation of every
honest patriot. He should be heard by
every honest man and woman in the
County.
The canvass has opened gloriously
in this County, and we have no doubt
of Mr. Bingham's triumphant election
But, at the same time, every Union
man and woman in the County should
work increasingly until the election
We believe the "Sons of Liberty" have
no hope of electing White; but, re-
member, every effort will be made to
compass the defeat Of our County ticket.
Talk to your honest, but misled, neigh
bors. Give them the right kind of
documents to read. Reason with them.
Show them that if the "Sons Of Lib
erty" succeed at the coming elections
they will plunge the North into anarchy
. and revolution. Show them that, if
White and his party are successful,
they are pledged to proclaim an armis
tlce--when JEFF. Davis says he will
have none, as witness Mr.. Gilmore's
article, in another column--and to re-
call our victorious armies and fleets
from Richmond and Atlanta, Mobile
and Charleston-even while the Rebel
lion is reeling and tottering to it's fall
o and permit Jefferson Davis to dictate
peace with his cannon frowning upon
us from the banks Of the Ohio River.
Show them that when these men talk of
an armistice, they men base and cow
ardly surrender of all that has been
accomplished at so much sacrifice of
the blood and treasure Of the nation
and that they would render the Ameri-
can name Kissing and rcproach
r. throughout the earth.
Union men and patriots these con.
spirators are forging chains for you
and your children, and if they are sue
. cessful in deceiving the people at the
n coming elections, God only knows what
4 is in store for our country. Stand by
- the Government, then, and by those
IN who, in camp and field and in the coun
;. Gil chambers of the nation, are nobly
III striving to uphold it and preserve its
