If Mississippi, who may become the purchas-
srs of the UniOu Bank bonds, will befamply
epaid for their patriotism in purchasing
hem, as such measure would make their
purchase valuable investment, as they
would be received at par value at all the
and Offices in the United Ste tes. EEtjG
he citizen purchasers Of the bonds never
get copper for them, they will reap more
than an hundred fold on the purchase money
in gaining a character for their State with
out stain, and a name without reproach.
PLAN.
To begin the patriotic work, let a list Of
all the tax payers and voters Of each county
be procuredsfrom the assessors and the poll
books, and the names alphabetically arran-
ged, with the amount Of their several assess
ments appended thereto. Let each and ey-
cry tax payer and voter be personally waited
on by an agent, especially employed for the
purpose, to ascertain what per cent he is
willing to add to the gross amount of his
annual taxes, TO be applied from year to year
in purchasing the repudiated bonds, at their
market value, or how much per annum he
lis willing to give. Let those whom embar-
raised circumstances will not admit, in their
estimate, Of adding so or 100 per cent to
the gross amount of their taxes, be entreat
ed to add at least 10 or or even l per cent.
Thus, person paying S25 taxes, if he felt
unable TO increase the sum TO 373 or so dol
lars per annum, could at least pay twenty
five cents per annum TO save the honor and
credit of the State. Let the reasons of all
those tax payers, who may refuse to have
their taxes increased for the purpose Of pur-
chasing the repudiated bonds, be reduced
to two classes: INABILITY or UNwILLINGNEss
and let the same be entered opposite to theiI
names in the alphabetical tax paying nomeH.
clature above mentioned, in a separate col
umn from that containing the rate per cen
Itage, which the other tax payers of the
county are willing to pay. Let the columns
containing the contributions be surmOunteC
by an eagle. Let this alphabetical nOmen
lclature Of tax payers and voters not only b
published, but republished annually in a
our Southern Alnanacs, and in the Amer
can Almanc, and let copies of the same b
furnished 10 the principal Exchanges an
Hotels throughout America. To put th
ball in motion, let public meetings be fovbf
with called in the several counties, town
and cities throughout the State; let ant
: repudiating clubs and associations be eyeI
where formed, for the purpose of calm
public attention to the important subjec
l and for soliciting contributions 10 defray tn
: expences of printing, establishing new!
paper, and the employment Of agents to vi
3 it the several taxpayers, and male and Fl
: male citizens. Let alse an arrangement /
r made with the sheriffs to collect the voIul
tary per centage, which the several tax pa
y ers may obligate themselves to pay in add
}, tioa 10 their legal taxes, and let the san
: lbe kept ia special deposite for the purchas
e of the repudiGted bonds at their market va
IS ne. Let the bonds thus purchased, be Il
i property of the respective persons who CO
l. irTbuted to purchase them, in equal propo
l. ton to the sums respectively contributed
IS each individual, and let the said bonds, tn
IS lpuscha&d, be filed in the clerks office al
e recorded therein, as the property of the Sc
r eraI persons who contributed to purcha
IN them. In those counties in the State, whe
j. the Sheriff is a repadiator, and refuses
Il act, or cannot safely be trusted, let SOL
r other suitable individual be selected as tn,
N collector and treasurer By the contributi
It, subscribers in the said county.
lg To Obyiate any objections which might

ne ing fund for the purchase Of the repudiat
Il bonds, let the nomenclature contain 5,

e, tions, without reference to the amount
