FACTS FOR GOVERNMENT BOND
HOLDERS.
Read and Rehect-Then sell yOur Bond
or buy more!

In 1861 eleven States seeded; and twenty
three only, since that time, have been rep
resented in Congress.
All the United States Bonds-5-20's S,
1905 and 1910 s-Were created by this
Congress of tWcnty-three States.
President johnson says it is an 'dsSun1 Ell
C0HGresS therefore not legal. His sup
porters and friends call tia ''T1nlp Congress-
a uSWpiag Congress, therefore not a
la1rfm Congress; and they are trying to elect
Congressmen in the North, and admit
enough from the rebel States to enforce this
"Pobcg.
ia Congress Of twenty three States is not
a iGWfW Congress, every United States
Bond you own is not lCoTth q dollar; because
an aala,cfd Congress could not make lar
ful Bond
BondtoleIers remember, this Policy
destroys the United States Bonds and
makes them as 'Couhless as rebel Bonds.
If 'Johnson's Policy" succeeds it brings
into Congress ninety four Congressman from
the rebel States, instead Of eighty-five-as
before the waI-tbustheg gain nine C0ltaresS-
men Jg their treason The Northern States
lose nine CoRgressD1ep bg tbed UietoTy 0rer

IF the rebels get their ninety-four Con-.
gressmen, and the johnson Eolicy" men
elect enough in the North to give them
majority, United States Bonds viii be held
illegal, and United States Bondholders viii
lose principal and interest.
If YOU want to prove Congress Hegal, and
the Bonds illegal, vote to elect Copper

men, Jat besure to sell all g0ar Bonds FIRST,
for there viii be no market for them after

The No,0 Koyl; Herald of September the
llth, which has heretofore been an ardent
supporter of the Presidents Policy, speaks
thus of the result in Maine;
'ITAe general result Of the Maine election
are rei7j deciSiCe dlld Uely significant. They
are startling and iRcoaapreheRsible to the con
serUatiUeS and indicate q popular ground sleell
ich0Ilg ltnerpected by the radicals Themselves
1t is manifest to US that this remarkable cleo
ton turned more upon the exciting political
events Of the day. North and South, than
upon the exact political issues presented be-
tween the Southern restoration policy of
President Johnson and the reconstruction
policy of Congress. Extraordinary results
are geReraJlg due to extraordinary causes.
Had the Republicans simply held something
like their standing majority an Maine, the re-
suit could hare been explained By The simple
statement that the battle lgGs fought 6et1ceee
the Union party Of the arar and the old Cop
perheud Peace Democracy. But the enormous
gains to tie Republican rOte throughout the
State require larger explanation.
After endeavoring to find plausible ex-
cuse for the overwhelming result it concludes
thus:
'Whatever may have been the real causes,
however operating to bring abeat the extra
ordinary results Of this Maine election, it is
too decisive against the Demo oZacy and con
servatives to be limited to Maine. WE AP-
PREHEND THAT, AS IN ALL OUR
POLITICAL CONTESTS OF THE PAST
OF A NATIONAL CHARACTER, THE
RESULT IN MAINE, INDICATES THE
GENERAL DRIFT OF THE ELECTIONS
COMING AFTER IT TTHR0UGHOUT THE
NORTHERN STATES. The prospect now
of a conservative majority in the next Con-
gress is very doubtful the prospect Of anoth-
er radical Congress is better than it has APP
peared at any time since December last. IN
SHORT, THIS MAINE ELECTION OF
1866 WILL PROBABLY MARK ANOTH-
Err NEW CHAPTER IN OUR POLITIC-
AL HISTORY, AND PERHAPS ANOTH-
Err REORGANIZATION OF PARTIES,
AND ANOTHER RECONSTRUCTION
OF PLATFORMS FOR THE PRESIDEN-
TIAL ELECTION, BEGINNING WITH
THE CLOSE OF THE COMING ELEC-
TIONS OF OCTOBER AND NOVEM-
BER."

the Herald was their particular foul

From the Ralajgh (N. G. } Progress, A1lg, IL
The next session Of Congress viii bring
about the crisis. If it assemblies, as in the
last session, as q radical Congress, as rev
olutionary body armed with usurped powers
the Impeachment of the President may be
looked for as the sensation Of the session.
VI That is there within its own corrupt and
lawlcss essence to restrain that assembiage
Of fanatics and demagog Ie.4 any ex-
trcmity Of folly and dissipation? " It'll the
same restlessness Of right and reason with
which they elected from their seats members
whose presence there was distasteful or in
convenient to them, they will seek to eject
their Chief Magistrate from his seat and in
stal one Of their faction, invested with an
usurped Executive authority, as Dictator,
or rather as a plant instrument Of their rev
olutionary legislation IF that should come
to pass the whole fabric Of our political sys-
TEN would be shaken to the centre, and
again the terrible agencies Of brute force
would sway the destiue5 Of the Republic.
1t would then be necessary to clear the Capi-
tol of the inceudiaTies at the point of the
bayonet even as the Mechanics Hall at New
Orleans was cleared Of the laWless ConYen-
tionists by the slaves and reYolvers of the
police. We hope the country viii not be
compelled to measure the relative strength
Of its radical and conservative elements by
any other test than shat Of the ballot box;
but faction, especially when clothed with
usurpation, is seldom without its opportu-
nifty to provoke riot in defense Of the popu-
lar desire for order and tranquility
The only way TO insure peace Is to break
up thc radical monopoly Of Congress We
do not appeal to any personal apprehensions
on the part Of Mr. johnson, but in behalf
Of the general interests and security we call
upon him to see that the Republic, and the
whole Republic, be fairly and fully repre-
sented at the next Congressional session
BE viii need there the conservative vote of
the South to protect him from impeachment
And not alone for the safety and welfare of
the country, but in nmerey to the desperate
men that are plotting to depose him, We
would have their absoiutism in Congress
cancelled at the threshold Of the next ses-
sion, for assurcdly their very lives will be
endangered if they venture to usurp the
Executive authority by impeachment, with
the doors of the capitol closed against the
Representatives Of the Southern States and
people. Let them get rid of their monopoly
or it viii crush them yet They tried The
experiment at New Orleans, the result of
which should teach them some discretion at
Washington.

A private letter from loyal citizen of

this city, makes some startling revelations
as to the plan of the reconstructed" reb-
els Of the South. The writer is gentleman
Of undoubted character The intelligence

that made by General McClernand at the
Illinois copperhead State Convention, and
those being made by Andrew johnson in his
stumping tour through the North.
The writer says:
