For the Cadiz Sentinel.
John A. BInchann,


Mr.. EDToR -As one Of that large
body'oi citizens, called 'Conseryatiye Re
publicnns, who are proud to number in
their lists such men as General Sherman,
Senators Trumb'lll and Cowan, Tom Ewing,
and host of good and true men, wish to
caution any of my Republican friends who
might commit an error without thought,
but who are good Union men, against voting
for that political trickster and fanatic, John
4. Bingham.
We all know Bingham-he is an earnest
Abolition fanatic-and when that is said you
have his full descriptive list He is a
man who is never satisfied except with tur-
moil and destruction. He has but one
idea, and he puts it forward on all occasions
| have read his speeches carefully, both in
and out Of Congress, ard have not seen one
but has his everlasting ''nigger' at the be-
ginning in the middle and at the end
Whether the subject on which he proposed
TO speak be agriculture, education, COM
merce orpoliticS, Bingham cant get through
with it with having the negro mixed all up
with it, When this was new, some thought
itdn indication of ability, but il is old now,
and when heard in this trying hour, sickens
and disgusts the true patriot.
The lives lost in the war, and the horrible
sutferings Of our brave soldiers in the field,
and the auguish and misery of the widows
and orphans, meet with very little sympathy
from Mr.. .Bingham--his mind is so filed
with sympathy for the negro that it s,absorbs
his whole attention OF all the measures
which he favored while in Congress, nine
tenths were for the benefit of the negro. -
He might make very good Representa-
tive of Liberia and Hayti, where he would
have none but the black mans interests to
attend to, but he would never be Repre-
sentative Of the free white men of the 10th
Ohio district. l..-- ...... .a
Again: when this rebellion is crushed we
want peace. Now am satisfied, with ev-
cry thinking man, that we can never have
Il permanent peace while such fanatical Of
tators us bingham are retained in power. -
lie loves not the Union. He hates slavery
and that is the sum total of his patriotism.
So strong is his hatred of slavery that lie
would not consent to the restoration of the
| Union to-day, in fact never would desire the
Union re-established at all, because the
southern people have held slaves. He lives
on agitation, and without 1.-THE would die.
He is naturally Il tylant in disposition,
and it is dangerous for even his own party
friends to disagree with him, so overbcaring
Is his nature.
He is grecdy-holding three lucrative off
ces, and now laboring for fourth there
is method i'll his madness "
His opponent, Joseph w White, is a
gentleman in every respect. He don make
bombashc, spread eagle speeches. but his
long and successful practice at the bar has
shown mind of the first order. Although
somsoi h votes in Congress do not mcetwith
my appropal-yet between him and Bing-
ham shall not hesitate an instant MI
White is infinitely preferable. | think con
seryatiye men of all parties will not hesitate
but will unite as one man to defeat the IA
natic and demagogue, Bingham 'e
Yours, respectfully,
..'. A CONSERVATIVE REprRIICAS
