It Is important that our administration be
sustained, heartily and il 40 hesitatiag or
dou ubtsul manner. We have held that men
vino are not for the government are enemies
of the government, and that, TO oppose the
administration Is 20 oppose the government
Now,we are certain that no true friend Of the
government can have any hesitancy in avow-
ing 1t, and we therefore ask OF you categor.

policy OF Andrew Johnson, and especially
his measures iu regard 10 the reconstruction
and restoration of the lately rebellous states ?

olusion which was part of the Chicago re-
publican platform, of 1860, and on which
Mr.. Liucoln was elected ?-viZ:
Resotred That the maintenance inviolate of the
rights of the states, and especially the right Of
each state to order and control its domestic
institutions according to It's own Judgement eI-
clusrvely, rs essential to that balance of powers
on which the perfection and endurance OF our
political fabric depends.
5th. Are you in favor of euualizing the
pay and bounty of soldiers 80 as to place the
soldiers of 1861 on an equality of those of
1864?
6rh. Are you in favor of taxing United
States bonds for state, county and municipal
purposes
7th. Are you in favor of requiring the
county treasurer to use the cash paid into his
hands for county taxes to redeem county or
ders at par land will you use all your ef-

sage to the constitutional conve ntion, thus al
ludes to negro-sufrage
ITO extend this universal suffrage to the
freedmen in their present ignorant and degra-
ded condition would be little less than folly and
madness 1t would be giving to the man of
wealth and large landed possessions IN the state
a most undue influence in all elections. He
would be enabled to march to the polls, with
his two or three hundred freedmen as employees,
voting as he directed, and control elections
The poor white man in the election districts
would have no influence, or their influence would
be overpowered by one man of large landed es-
tate.
