Facts for Government ROnd-
holders.

In 1861 eleven States seeded; and
twehty-three only since that time have
been represented in Congress-.
All the United States Bonds-5-2Os, z
30s and l0-40s-al The grcenbacks and
all the National Banks were created bv
this Congress of twenty-three States.
President johnson says it is an "aSSasns-
ed Congress "-thereforo not legal. His
supporters and friends call it ssyatnap
Congress-, "uSuYping Congress" there
fore not tasoft Congress; aud they arc
trying to eject congressman in the North,
and admit enough from the rebel States
to enforce this ''Poltcy."
Ii Congress of twenty-throe States is
not idwtul Congress, every United
States Bond you own, and your groenbacks
and Bank notes, are worth nothing !;
because an 1ala,0fM Congress could not
make lalgfI Bond or lawful money
and your money is as worthless as your
Bonds.
NJohnson's Policy succeeds, it brings
into Congress ninety-four Congressmen
from the rebel States, instead of eighty
tve-as before the war-thuS they gam
name CongresSElen by their treason The
N1NeA-SO tOSS fttfSG OOItJI CSSHtSH 01
their rlctory oUer treason.
If the rebels get their ninety-four Con-
gressmen, and the Johnson "Pokicy" men
elect enough in the North to give them a
majority, United States Bonds will be
held illegal, and United States Bondhold-
ers will lose principal and interest.
If you want to prove Congress illegal,
and the Bonds illegal, vote to elect Cop
perl Johnson National Rebel Union Con-
gressmen, who oppose the Constitutional
Amendment, SO that the National debt
may be repudiated when they get into
power.
If you want to prove Congress legal,
cote TO sustain it-the party that created
the Bonds-the party that fought and soon
the .:car-that says Congress represents
the people-that is pledged to keep faith
t0ith the Bond]iol0ers-andt thus secure the
adoption of the constitutional Amend
ment, and forever prevent repudiation.
Renlcm5er also-our Loans are depreci-
ated in Europe by the London Times,
which defends Johnson's Policy, hoping
to set rebels back into Congress, and by
their votes 60 what they could not do
with their arms.

Thousands of poor white Democrats inthe

means that he began by voting for Breck-

ing him The friends of popular govern
ment propose to rebnke his course in Oc-
tober and November. Look out for

I'll have been generally considered a
Radical, said Mr.. johnson ia senatorial
speech delivered IN 1860. 'I go for en-
actments by Congress and for amendments
to the Constitution upon the principle that
they are right, and upon no other ground" !"
AS Mr.. johnson "never, deserted prin-
ciple," We suppose Congress has become
entirely too Conservative for him.

WHY GRANT WENT TO CHICAGO
The following letter from Gen. Grant,
which we find in Southern newspaper,
will settle the vexed question why he
went with the President on his stumping
tour to Chicago. twill be seen that Gen.
Grant went "by the desire of the Presi-
dent" The "desire of President" like
that of King, is polite way of putting
command, which the General as SUBJ
ordinate officer, was bound to obey:
Headquarters Arnaies Of the .. s.,
Washington, dug. 25, 1866-Francis II.
Smith, ESQ. DEAR SIR: 1t being the
desire of the President that should
accompany him on his trip to Chicago,
which will keep.me absent from this city

of the Inauguration of the statute of
Washington, at the Military Institute of

"Please express my regrets to the Board

to me an invitation to be their guest on
the occasion, for not being able to comply
with my former partial acceptance.

GENTLEMEN Yours on the subject
Of protection to american Industry has
just been received. | can only say, in
reply, that [ have always been in favor of
that protection which would develope the
great Mining and Manufacturing interests
of Pennsylvania and especially the coal
mines and iron manufactures of my own
district.
L shall vote, if elected, as did the
members from Pennsylvania, Democrats
and Radicals, in favor OF a Protective
Tariff; and, if necessary, raise my voice
in Congress in favor Of that policy
At the same time, [ may state, that 1
believe the benefits of protection can
never be fully realized until the Union of
the States is fully restored.
Respectfully Yours,
r. Ia. JOHNSTON.
To II. L. PATTERSON and others.
