Reasons Why Mr. Lincoln Should not
DC Reelected.

January Ia, l949, he made speech in
Congress, in which he said: "Any peo-
pie any where, being inclined and having
the power, have right to rise up, and
shake off the existing government and
form a new one that will suit them bet
ter"
2. He has violated his pledge to the
people. In July, 1891, Congress passed
a resolution which was adopted by him
in these words: "That this war is not
waged in any spirit Of oppression, or for
any purpose of conquest or subjugation,
or for the purpose Of oyerthrowing or in
terferiug with the rights or established in
situations of the States, but TO defend
aud maintain the supremacy Of the con-
stitut ion."
3. lie has violated the constitution
which he took n solemn oath 10 support,
10 ways without number. His emancipa
ton proclamatious, which he has issued,
he himself acknowledged be had no pow
er TO do.
4. He has suspended the habeus COR
pus 10 States where there was no necessl-
ly for it. He LAS caused TO be arrested
and imprisoned citizens for expressing
their candid opinions MS TO the acts of the
administration, without allowing them a
trial by jury, and has afterward discharg-
ed them without attempting TO produce
any charges against them.
5. He has muzzled the mouth OF the
press in more arbitrary manner than
any despot in,Europe.
6. He has prolongated the war for the
purpose of collecting great army to aid
and assist him 10 a reelection as Presi-
dent by the point of the bayonet.
Z. He has sent armies TO Florida and
Louisiana for the purpose of organic
ing new States for the purpose of voting
for him for President-and by so doing,
twenty thousand men have lost their
lives.
8. He has squandered millions upon
millions of the public moneys to organ
ize and support the negroes, and has no
sympathy for the white soldiers who are
slain by thousands in the army.
8. He has organized an army Of ne
groes and forced them from the pIanta-
tons, where they could have raised food
for the army and have supported their
families who are now starving and dying.
10. He has inflated a system Of ex-
travagance and corruption in the conduct
Of the war which will, sooner or later,
overthrow our government.
IL. Before he was elected he declared
himself against the election of Presi-
dent for the second term. He has VIC.
lated this pledge, aud now says it is a
joke.
IL. Being suddenly raised from the
common walks of life to the highest hon
or in the gift of lhe nation, he became
vain and pulled up, and keeps corps of
soldiers as body guard, which no other
President ever did.
10. He has a set Of fanatics and shod-
dy contractor, and all other kinds of spec
ulators for his advisers, and they ilaLter
him, which pleases his vanity, aud makes
him think he is the greatest man in the
world. He will soon wake and find all
these things a joke and honest Old Abe
will 60 down to PROSPERITY as great jok-
or, aud nothing more.

Upon the death Of volunteer, the
residue of the bounty is to be paid his
widow, if any, otherwise to bis children
if he leaves any; if none, to his mother,

Fifty days are allowed towns and

No Communication money is to be re-
cieved to release drafted or enrolled per

THE FRIDAY NIGHT MEETING. trust

We are decidedly in favor of voting a rea-
sonable bounty to all volunteers who shall
enlist to the credit Of the city. We believe

oil our citizens: and ii is especially desirable
tnat this feeling should be manifested in an
aIhrmative descision in this vote, at time
~hen the Wards are struggling hopefully

more discouraging toward this object could

the city 10 come together. and declare, 10y

enough about raising volunteers is this city

EFFORTS TO CLEAR THE Cry OF \ DRAFT.
In the Second, Third and Fourth Wards OF
this City strong efforts are being put forth
TO obtain a sufficient number of recruits 10
I'LL their respective quotas under the late
call of the President for 500, 900 men. We
have not learned that the First Ward has
as yet taken any active measures.
In the Second Ward large amount OF
money has been raised by voluntary sub
scription, sufficient, we understand. TO offer
a cash bounty of $500 besides the regular
ward bounty, which will probably be 500.
The committee in this ward also offer an
enlistment fee Of SIS to any person fur
nishing an acceptable recruit. Or they viii
pay the amount to the recruit il he offers
himself This, it would seem to u, should
ill the quota Of this ward at once
The quota of the Third Ward IS more than
half filed already, and strong efforts are
being put forth 10 raise the requisite num-
Der TO entirely escape the draft. A good
fund has been raised, and volunteers are
literally paid.
We are not informed as TO what the Fourth
Ward are doing. but know they are at
work.
There is nothing now to prevent recruits
in one town, whether enrolled or not, from
enlisting in any other town. The stringent
order issued on this subject before the
last draft, was to prevent any difficulty
arising relative 10 the reception Of the
State bounty. \ recruit could not then
obtain the State bounty unless credited to
the place where enrolled. Under the pres
ent call there Is no State bounty offered,
and a recruit is at liberty to enlist where he
sees fiji. or where he can obtain the largest
local bounty This may seem TO be some
what unjust on the face Of it, still there IS
now no law to prevent il. The cOnse-
quence will be that those towns offering
the largest subscription bOunties will fill
their quotas first. No larger amount than
500 for each recruit can be raised by taxa
ton. or voted to be paid, by any township
or city, hence the great inducement 10 re-

BETWEEN TWO FIREs.-A COpperhead Of
this city purchased some time since an order
for a city war bond of 500 of one of the vet
Grams who re-enlisted, and was credited to
our city after the quota under the call prior
to the last one Of the President was filed,
and which the city authorities would only
agree to pay if another call was made The
aforesaid COpperhead has held this order up
TO the present time and now that a new
call has been made is DESTROYS of getting
his bond. But he has placed himself in
rather an awkward fix. however; he has at
tended the peace meetings which have been
held by the COpperheads during the past
few days, and has sworn with them 10 Op-
pose any further appropriation of money
OF raising taxes, TO pay bounties to such as
may enlist under this or any future call of
the President for troops. His attention
has been called 10 the fact that if he OppO-
SeS raising the new loan proposed, and the
enemies Of the proposition, the copperheads,
succeed in defeating il, he must lose his
bond. He sees the point, and a cent is as
dear to him as the apple Of his eye, and he
hardly knows what to do. whether to GO
the loan and violate his plighted honor, and
secure his 500 bond, or keep his word and
lose the amount, 1t is a hard fix for poor
"Bill but We rather think his love ofmon-
ey will beat him, and that he will go in
heartily for the loan.
