SOhh - DAhb nethn.
Last Monday evening, the ''fell spirit"
in the person Of JOhn A. Bingham, made
his appearance in our midst, and harangu-
ed his friepds in Welday's Hall, in his usual
style; spewing out of his vile mouth, filth
and slime. in his stereotyped vocabulary of
epithets against tie Democratic
marty of this Congressional District, and
The nation at large. lie proved to his own
satislaction-presuming on the ignorance of
his audience that the pampered Bond
holder paid all Of the taxes; the poor man,
mechanic anl farmer paid nothing. Fe
claimed that the taxes came from the "ac-
cumulated wealth of the country" To de-
termine the truth of these strange positions
let the farmer, mechanic and laboring class
lepair to the county tax duplicate, and
learn if you can, what tax the l5ondholder
pays into the county treasury. None whats
ever. lie wants all the bonds paid in gold.
Thank you, Iohn, for correctly stating the
true position of the National Republican
,latrorm. There will be no dodging in the
future.
Listen, farmers, mechanics and lahoring
menl This New England Representative
claims the right to fi!ch your hard earnings
to nay the Bondhollers in gold, when the
contract is to pay in legal-tenders. The
drafter of the bill, Thad. Stevens so sail
Gov. Morton, Senator from Indiana, claims
that the 500 bords are payble in legal-tenN
der. and that it would be dishonest to pay
in gold, and an outrage on the people.
BIZ gham's style of speaking is to arouse
the hatred, ill-wil and malice of his party
friends engendered by the late unhappy
conflict. BY gross Misrepresentation, and
false appeals to his party's prejudices and
sordid Tassions, he expects to retain their
support, knowing no Democrat would touch
the filthy thing Bingham is an ''inetfable
blatherskite," and an INSCRIPTIONS dema-
goCue-a low, cunning trickster, accompani-
| ed with brazen effrsntery and consummate
assurance. he pushes himself in place;
where other men of larger intellect would
blush to tread.
This Bingham came into this Congression-
al District in 1862, after monopolizlng the
/ Jefferson county Congressional District fol
eight years. A professional otiiee-seeker
he has managed by cunning, dlShonorablC
tricks, and low contemplate means, through
his mcnial office>holders in this District, tC
retain power. The Democracy defeated
this miserable creature in 1862. His defeat
set so bard on his stomach. that he troth'
ed at the mouth for a fortnight, like q
dog laboring under pains of hydrophobiaa
| But cured of the disca e, in 1864 John
voice was heard as out of the wilderness
"My dear Republican friends, vindlcate me
vindicate me! by returning me to Congress
once more; then, On then, let me die II
peace. will pledge my honor SO help yo'
all.
But 10 and behold in 1866 the sam'
sweet voice was heard, as coming from tn
dead, MY very dear Republican frieLds
return ME once more to partake OF the dea
old ''Rump," and | will not give sleep t
Y eyes or sumber to my eyclids, unit
draw up articles of impeachment agalns
drunken Andy Johnson" But strange t
tell, change came DER the spirit OF hi
dream. As soon as he returned to tn
! House of father Rump, John became pas
sionately fond of drunken Andy johnson,
and was nosing around the White, House
thirsing for higher promotion by wa
of an appointment. TO put an end
his deception certificate OF his saying
was sent to the House of Rump, an
read by the Clerk. Up jumped John, llk
weasel, on his pipe-stem pms, ana pre-
nounced it all "a Coppcrhead lie-' ~
J publicans of ST. St. Clairsvile have tim
