II we wanted proof that universal con-
Edence prevails in the power of the nation
to maintain itself, since the reelection Of
Mr.. Lincoln, the readiness with which
$4,000. 900 of the last national lO.4O loan
have been taken up, would afford 1t
Foreigners showed as much alacrity as
our native citizens to subscribe 10 1t ; and
though hundreds of millions of dollars
may vet be needed before the rebellion is
suppressed, even if separation should oc-
cur. such are the resources of the nation,
our strength is so well understood, both
at home and abroad. our producing power
has so palpably exhibited itself that a
financial collapse is no longer talked of.
Even the enemies of the Administration do
not pronounce the word Republication. for
fear of being laughed at. II does not fol-
low, because there is universal confidence
in the future of the Republic, that all the
financial measures adopted both by Con-
gross and the Secretary of the Treasury,
since the beginning of the rebellion, are
unanimously Endorsed and ratified by the
people. 1t is not denied, even by the
friends of the Administration, that blum
ders and mistakes have been committed N
the management of our finances; but it is
felt that they have not dangerously i'm
paired the national credit, neither have
they dried up the sources of the national
wealth. Among our German population,
so devoted to the principles of freedom,
there has been. these past four years, an
unwavering disposition TO uphold the
Government. With it, the popularity OF
our national securities was but matter Of
course; but with our fellow-citizens of
French, English, or Spanish birth-at least
with majority of them-it was doubt
full whether their sympathies were with
the North or with the South. in the great
drama now enacting on this continent be-
tween slavery and freedom, equality and
privilege, democracy and aristocracy, ia
tional unity and anarchy, civilization and
barbarism. The subscription 10 the last
gold-bearing loan has dispelled every
doubt concerning the political status of
the best men among our foreign popula-
ton. Foreign bankers, capitalists, mer-
chants, and journalists have We'd with our
native citizens to tender their ready mean"
10 the Government, so as to afford another
proof that the Sth of November last raj
lied to its support all classes of our pcpu-
lation. Mr.. Charles Lassalle, editor of
the Courier des Etats Unis, one OF the
most important foreign organs pub ,ished
in this country, has subscribed to the
United States l0.40 loan, through the
First National Bank, not less than Sl0.-
900; and Mr.. Masseras, who has been
connected for many years, we believe, with
the editorial department of the Courier,
has also subscribed the same amount. We
could point out, among the foreign sub
scribers to the 1910 loan, many other
names but we think the two above men,
toned will suffice TO show in what high
estimation our national securieties are
held BY the most intelligent of foreigners.
Such facts can not fail to attract attention
on the other side of the Atlantic, show
ing, as they do, that foreigners who have
resided many years among US, who, con-
seouently, well understand our institu-
tons, have full confidence in their stabil-
ity, and also in the policy followed by the
Government they deem proper to sustain
with their purse. We admit that, at their
present price, to invest in our gold-bear-
ing bonds is sensible operation but
profitable as it is, it is manifest that for
eigners would not engage in it the heavy
amounts above stated, did they entertain
the slightest misgiving concerning the issue

and the perpetuity of the Union.
