TO YOUNG: NJ EN-.

The Importance of the great issues
to be determined by the election Oh
Tuesday next, should impress ltsel
on the minds of those of our young
men who arc about to exercise fol
the first time the elective franchise. =
This first ballot Of yours will tell
upon your future lives. Your inter
ests are on the side of the Govern
ment, and your votes should be
there also.
The gray-hcadcd man, whose lif,
is nearly spent, whose days are al
most numbered, may look upon tho
issues of the day with some degree
Of complaisance, well knowing that
he will claim the protection of the
Government but few short years at
farthcst and may feel that, to
him, the matter is of no great impor
tancc.
But to you, young men, who have
a long life before you, it is matter
of vital Importance. Do you love
the government under which you en-
joy so many bcnelits2 Do you love
the glorious Stars and Stripes, the
emblem of freedom and our nation
ality? Do you revere the fathers OF
the Republic? Do you cherish the
memory of the thousands of dead
heroes who went forth to battle for
the right, but who never returned?-
Do you love the free institutions OF
our country, where every man is a
sovereign, where every man is polit-
ically cqual2
If so, then vote with that party
who have sustained this government
and these institutions; men who have
defended our flag, and men who hon
or the brave boys who fell in its de-
fense.
Do you love treasonp Do you
honor traitors? Do you despise the
Stars AMI Stripes? Do you forget
the dead? Doyou scorn the teach
ines Of our fathers? Do you hate
freedom? Ifso, then vote with those
who would place rebels in power;
those who are unwilling that loyal
men shall control the government.
Look well and carefully at the fu =.
ture consequences before you cast
the ballot which is to determine what
that future shall be.

TIE ISSUE.

The present issne before the peo-
pie, briefly defined, is shall the Con
stitutional Amendment, which was
submitted by Congress, be adopted
by the rebel States before they are
allowed to assume practical relations
with the Government.
The Amendment simply fixes that
the results and lessons of the war
shall not be lost.
|. 1t defines and defends citizen.
ship in the United States and its
rights.
9 Bases representation upon the
voting population, and declares that
if man is not allowed to vote, he
shall not be entitled to representa-
tion.
8. Whoever has held Office by Ia.
king an oath to support the Consti-
tuition of the United States, which
oath he has broken to plot or commit
treason against the Government ,
shall not hold any Office until Con.
gress relieves such disability.
4. That the national debt shall
never he rcpudiotcd, and the rebeI
debt shall not be paid, and that nc
payment shall be made for emanci
pated slaves.

REWEMDEW EVERYBODY,

When you hear Democrats pirate
of the immensity of the national
debt, and of the expenses incident to
the war, that a Democratic admins
tration never yet came into power
that did not increase the public ex-
penses over those incurred by its
immediate predecessor, of whatever
political name
How can this thing be done againf
Why, there is the rebel debt to be
paid-(you know Democratic STUN
pers and editors always count it in
when stoting the. amount OF the ma
tional debt)--there are the slaves oi
rebels to pay for; and the damage
and destruction of rebel property by
the Union armies to be thrown in tC
swell the account.
Give to tho rebels and Copper
heads the control of Congress, ant
bills will be presented for you ant
your children to foot, that will grint
the population of the country to TIN
last generation.
The Hancock Jeffersonian. [volume] (Findlay, Ohio) 1857-1870, 1866-10-05
to the cause of Free
A MISERABLE LIE.

The Copper.Johnson papers are
circulating tue following lie for the
purpose OF pr,judicing the soldiers
against Congress-:
Cong e,s, in 1868, voted the black
sol!irr $500 for extra bounty, and
appropriated the money TO pay it
The white veteran gets S1JO extra
bounty, aud Congress appropriated
no money to pay 1t.
Ia tacsc six lines are two distinct
lies. NJ black soldier is entitled, by
ANY act Of Congress whatever, TO one
dollar, or one cent of EXTRA bounty
The only law passed by Congress
giving them any bounty was one
which placed them on an equal foot
ing with white soldiers in regard to
the regular bounty
Every white soldier who enlisted
in 1864, and thereafter; and all who
served any enlistment commencing
in 1868, had, on pay day, $50 per
month bounty added TO the amount
due him for pay. This was at the
rate Of 500 per year for bounty, and
was paid in installments by special
act of Congress. Every soldier who
enlisted in 1864 was paid the Who'll,
amount due them on the $500. Ii
addition TO this Congress last session
donated to every soldier who served
three years an extra bounty OF $50
We repeat that, no soldier can, by
any law OF Congress, receive one dol
lar of extra bounty above the S5(
, and the $500 regular bounty nov
being paid to colored soldiers ha'
, already been paid to the white sol
diers, who enlisted at the same time
The second lie is in the assertion
that Congress appropriated no mon
cy to pay the extra bounties to whit
soldiers. 1t did not appropriate an!
4 specific sum, but it appropriated
whatever amount might be necessar!
from funds in the Treasury not 9th
erwisc appropriated. On Frida,
last, the Secretary of the Treasur.
notified the Paymaster General tha
he was ready to furnish any amour
Of money which might be required
TO pay the extra bounties.
The Hancock Jeffersonian. [volume] (Findlay, Ohio) 1857-1870, 1866-10-05
Soldiers

If a copperhcad asks you to
vote his ticket, inquire of him if
he remembers the years 1862
-3-4 when you were in the SER
vice, and they cursed you, threat
ened to resist drafts and tried to
make the rebels successful.
'fhe Copperheads loved the
rebels during the war and love
them now. If not, why do they
try to throw the Government in
to their hands? Bear that in
mind.
The Hancock Jeffersonian. [volume] (Findlay, Ohio) 1857-1870, 1866-10-05
Will you not do it ?
THE GREAT ISSUE.


Whoever favors the Presidents
policy wishes to strip the loyal North
of twenty-five members of Congress,
to which it is fairly entitled, and he
wishes to give twenty-five members
to the disloyal South, which that
section has no equitable right to.
The figures will stand thus, omit
ting fractional Representatives:
Present Northern Representation 148
Present S ,uthern Representation on three.
ntinS basis s5
If the Amendment be not adopted,
the result will be as follows:
Northern Representatives 138
Southern Representatives 95
If the Amendment be ratified, the
result will he rs follows:
Northern Represe natives. ...1o3
southern Repre- sentatives s................ 20
At presont the Northern majority Is ..... 50
| II No change in the constitution Is made
tho Northern majority, after tho next
| arpCrtOnnnent VIII be.........,........ ~
Ift the Amendment be adopted, the Nor.
thern majority VIII be................. 95
So the question is whether the
North is to have ninety. three or
forty-threc majority in the House OF
Representatives. If every voter has
but one vote, ninety. three will be
the majority. If the Southern voters
are given two votes in consequence
OF their injustice to the negroes and
their rebellion, the Northern majori-
ty will be but forty three.
Here, then, is the issue between
, the President and Congress. The
President wishes to reduce the Nor
thern majority in Congress from 90
to 43 by giving two votes to every
Mississippian and Louisianian, and
/ three votes to every South Carroll
nian.
If the Amendment be not adopted,
all the larger Northern States will
l lose two members of Congress, and
some of them will lose three. This
is what the Presidents "poli,y"
, means. The issue is before the peo-
ple.-Dayton Journal.
! Copperheads say that if the
2 South is not allowed to unquali-
liedly take its former place in
the Union there will be another
, war.
The Hancock Jeffersonian. [volume] (Findlay, Ohio) 1857-1870, 1866-10-05
Working Wen,

Remember that in Pennsylva-
MIA the President has ordered the
laboring men in the Government
workshops who do not support
"my policy" to be discharged.
. Can laboring men vote so as
to degrade themselves?
Can you support the policy Of
a man who will throw out of en-
ployment poor laboring men in
order to starve them into support
of a policy that would be ruinous
to the Union. Down with the
party that would inaugurate such
infamous political prescription.
