ITO TUE RESCUE. Fellow citizens, by all
your regards for the mighty work of the
old founders and defenders of the rcrublic,
by all your memories Of what the Constitu u
ton and tie Union once We're. by ali your
devotion to the great principles Of liberty
by all your scorn for the suliugation of the
white to the black race, by all your detesta.
ton Of large standing armies in time Of
peace, by all your indignation at the outra
gos on person and property, and every 9th,
er right wrenched from the civil authorities
and the civil laws by the brutal band O
military power, by all your horror for the
mountain of taxation that is reaching fal
away towards the moon, We appeal to yor
TO look calmly bat kGeHy at the country
present condition, and sweep to her rescue
while yet her heart beats and the breath OIL
Of life is in her nostrils. r.l.i.j
The Cadiz sentinel. [volume] (Cadiz, Ohio) 1864-1911, 1868-09-09

As we have remarked heretofore, Hon.
John A. Bingham, who for the past twelve
years has regularly drew his salary as Mem
Der OF Congress- from this District, is an
uufit man for the position. Without calm
or sober Judgment, he is the victim Of fren-
Ey and passion. The calm currents of a
well-balaneed mind are not with him, to
control and guide his actions, but like a
mad bull, he rushes into the Tray. lie
might make very respec, able sensation,
hl'od-ani thunler, noisy peacher, if his
tslents we're t1rned in that direction, but
we fear that even in that position, he would
try to drive all his hearers into The deepest
hell, leaving himself alone to ''sit down by
the river"
Mr.. Bingham, in the present campaign,
does not attempt manly discussion of the
ISSUES upon which the people cannot agree,
but deals altogether ia iEyective, and
buncombe. ~r l..r
While the people are groaninp under
enormous taxation and debt, he, feeling his
inability 10 discuss those questions, thinks
the people viii be satisfied by telling them
that that which most Affects them, are only
side issues. r
Bingham thinks the only question worth
discussing is Negro Suffrage, as all his
speeches will show. The only question
which he presents, is the celebrated recon.
st,uction policy OF Congress. Hs.4 "
Bingham tells the people that the basi.
OF reconstruction is the Constitutional pro,
vision that Congress shall guarantee tc
every State in the Union republican form
Of government" ..
Look at the reconstructed" States. -
What is the Corner Stone? tnt
If the Constitution of Ohio were adopt.
ed by one of the Southern States, woulc
the Rump admit its Representatives. No
The following xtract from the Constitu
tion adopted by the Carpet-baggers vii
give the voters OF this district some idea o
what Bingham considers "Republicar
form of government; No man can vote il
the RECONSTRUCTED" States, unlcss he take
the following oath:
~ do solenpb satear that I accent III
ciril and political eQudlfM Of all men, ant
agree not to attempt to deprre am perso,
or persons, on account Of race, coior or pre
rions condition, of duy political or, cui
Tgh, P5pr'lege, or immunity enjoyed w nes
other class of men. SO help me God.'--
The Cadiz sentinel. [volume] (Cadiz, Ohio) 1864-1911, 1868-09-09

Gay We ask any candid Republican who
is regular reader Of the sheets of his par
ty, what reason they give to the people for
their support of John A. Bingham.
They say nothing as TO any plan of his
to relieve the poor man of the burden Of
taxation. uF a
They say nothing of any affirmative poll,
cy' except the scheme of robbery to pay
bonds in gold. 10 d
They rely exclusively on abuse OF Mr.
Estep. The most wilful falschooas and
slanderous abuses gil their columns. They
appeal not to the intelligence of their read
ers, but altogether to ignorance and passion.
We do not think it within the power of
these dirty dogs to injurc tho character of
Mr.. Estep.
Il The people have resolved to elect Estep
to Congress, and Ihave.. tqaa! taxation.
That 5 what hurts them.

WEHAT THEY DONE AFTER.
WARDS.


L i. .
Ia While John A. Bingham, who opposed
giving Bounty to Soldiers on the plea that
he himself did; not want any increase Of sal
ary, put his extra pay in his wallet, let us
SEQ how others who did not want their sal
aryincreascd, but who wished to have boun-
ty, did. This is the way Dir. Ferry, Of
Michigan, acted: 'lAi 9@'t. "A 443

gan, at Grand Haven, after Mr.. Ferry had

ed draft for $1,000, the amount Of his ex-
ira pay voted by Congress, and which he
idesned should bc used tor the benefit Of

also read his letter, acknowledging the re.
