YOU hold Government bonds, and have thus set aside

This naturally leads 70 the question as 10 how you

decide this Qucstc There are Two candidates before
the people-one a working man who by his own honest
toll raised himself so high in the confidence Of his
fellows that they elected him 10 the highest Office in The
civilized world-the Presidency Of free people. II is

rights and the rights Of IaLor-Abraham Lincoln ia
that man.
Who is the otheri Young army officer whose only

MI Lincoln is uuslteraby pledged to the war TO the
end TO the absolute restoration Of the Unity Of the ma
ton, to recover for you and your children and the
friends whom you invite from the Old Country to join you
here al the soil which belongs 10 yon every inch OF
your old territory the national domanfor you are the
owners Of that domain--not Of part it, but Of paTt
Of the undivided whole. The soil and your institutions
were given TO yon together-thcy cannot be divided
without injury 10 both. ruin 10 both.
Mr. Lincoln is so pledged and ali who stand with
him. Andrew johnson. candidate for the Vice Prcsi-
dency another Of the people and working man. If
so pledged; and so are all the statesmen and soldiers
who support the Government and now daily striving
to crush out the Rebellion.
Mr. Mcclellan says that he also is 30 pledged IL
need not be argued-but Mr. Pendeton is pledged just
tie other way and about Mr.. Mcclellan all those
who do aot believe in crushing the Rebellion but who
do believe in letting the South CO. or in making peace
or q compromise gore disgracefnl than even d.sunion
a compromise armistice which would recall all our
noble soldiers and sailors from tie places they have
captured OF such risk Of life and such loss Of health and
limb
OF such men The two Woods. the two Seymonrs,
Valantgham, VOORHEES,, Cox. are fair examples.
But have Won considered that letting the South so
involves the loss Of all that money also which you have
invested IN these Savings Banks. All you say, but
viii draw my money out from these Savings Banks.
Yes but they could not giyo you what they have not
gotgold they would pay you in greenbnoks, and from
an indirect investor Of one.third Of yoar money IN
Government securities you would find that every dollar
would DO paid either in that OF currency of far less
yaue for the real estate mortgages in which the larger
part Of the remainder OF Savings Deposits is invested
$50 go 900 ont Of S9i 600 600 Jan. 1854 all pay
able in legal tender notes or "ereenbaoks." This
would be the result OF a division Of the Union.
But If you make compromise. then the Rebels
say, and the Peace Commissioner Sanders distinctly
states. that you must ieher repudiats your Gov
ernmedt dcbt-in which the South would gladly fol.
low because they used to it, having already prac
ticed IL ia several iorms-or assume the payment OF
their own.
On the side is safety, the other at BEST uncer.
ia.nty and probably loss and ruin. The day for your
choice is close at hand. See TO it that you cast your
vote for those who arc charged with your honor and
your property Reflect the servant whom you have
found true TO your cause and when you have that which
certain see to il that you do risk all by change
