THE ESsUEs.

A vote for the Union Ticket on the IN OF
November will be renewed pledge that the
National Debt shall be paid, principal and III.
terest, to the last farthing The supporters %
that ticket regard with aiiectionate gratitude
every one who loaned his money to the Govern
ment to enable it TO save the country in her
agony of trial and peril. No man lives who
believes, or fears, or hopes, that there will be
any failure to provide the means Of paying that
Debt while the Government remains IN the
hands of the Union party.
The Democrats are divided On thi, subject.
Some Of them are holders of Government bonds:
these, and some more, are in favor Of paying.
But the greater number have denounced the
War as wantonly waged by the Abolitionists,
! in order to subjugate the South and ." free
the niggers;" have held that quito as much
of the blame should be charged 10 tho
| North as TO "the South" And they all insist
that the Representatives chosen from the South
20 Congress shell be admitted to seats and votes
at once-without inquiry-without condition
without ceremony. And they expect soon, by
the aid of those Representatives and their con-
stituents, 10 grasp the reins Of power IN the
Union and in majority OF the States.
| Who does not see that the twenty-five Scna-
tors and eighty -four Representatives from the
States lately in revolt will control the party
which achieves ascendancy through their aid,
and of which they are by far the larger portion

rcpudiate your War Debt or assume ours also =
Would it be human nature NOT 10 require this
SO of our own crippled, disabled soldiers, ana
of the widows and orphans Of those who fell in de-
fense of their country. Their little pensions will
soon coll for about Twelve Millions per annum
from the Treasury. Suppose the Copperhead4
restored to power by the aid Of our Slocums and
Growers on the one hand, and of the recon
structed Rebels on the other, who believes that
the latter will consent TO take back seat in
the party councils, and 60 on from year TO year

oeiye not one cent Don't yOu kno,o that there
will be trouble in the family il the disabled Con-
lederate soldiers arc not put on the pension roll
as well as ours
The Colored People, North and South, have
given such aid as they could to the Union cause.
They have dug, chopped prayed and fought, in
It's behalf They have been solemnly promised
that. in case the Union triumphed they should
be truly and forever Free. We did not promise
TO intercede for them with the Rebel States, but
TO free them ourselves. The condition being
fulfilled, they clpim the fulfllment of our prom
ise, and are told by the Copperhesds that
their late masters and the Whites Of the Rebel
States, will doubtless treat them as kindly az
they shall deserve! They claim their rights in
the country they have helped to save, and tho
response Is that they had better get out of it.,
and 30 save the Whites a world Of trouble. Is
It marvel that they fail to see how this squares
with the requirements of honor and good faith
A Democratic triumph would be virtually a
triumph of Reputation. The public creditors
the pensioners, the Colored People, oil have
reason to dread the loss of their righteous, hard
earned dues irt thc party Of Seymour, Val'aodig-
