Soldiers Read!--Why the EQualt-
Zation Bounty is not Paid.

There is no longer reason to doubt that
Andrew johnson has arrayed himself against
the brave. Boys in Blue" and that they
cannot expect favor at his hands, unless
they sacrifice the principles for which they
fought in the war, and support My Policy"
The following letter is reply TO one written
by Hon. George Jockey, of Wood County,
Ohio, inquiring why the equalization bounty
was not paid. AS the State Agent at
Washington is posted, no doubt it will an
swer the inquiries of the soldiers who are
interested in this matter, and perhaps satisfy
them that Congress is not at fault this time.
