The County Union Convention has given to
the loyal voters of Kent ticket that must elicit
their admiration; and should, and we hope and
believe will, call fol n the full strength of the

the war and which will secure to the nation

interests Of the County, so far as they might
be confded with their keeping, would receive
their strict and unselfsh attention, and with
view to the material advancement of the

SEPTEMBER, 81, 1866.

John Giger, ESh:
DEAR SIR: In answer to your inquiry,
what effect the success OF the President 5
Policy will have on the National securities. L
am Of opinion that its effect would be very in
furious.
The President contends that the body Of men
acting as Congress has no constitutional pow
ers. and can do no valid acts in the absence of
the excluded States. The Congresses that au-
thorizcd the war debt and laid the internal du-
ties to pay it, were composed Of precisely the
same number of representatives from the same
States, as the present. fit should be decid-
ed that those Congresses had no constitutional
existence, then the 5-2O's, lO-40's, 7-3O's, and
the legal tender greenbacks will have been is.
sued without authority, and will be worthless
Whether they would ever be redeemed
would depend on what the President would
consider constitutional Congress, after the
admission of the Rebel Representatives, wher
would be considered. Yours, truly,
IHADDEUS STEVENS.

Soldiers Bounties.

The Copperheads are endeavoring to explain
away the course of Mr.. Nicholson in voting
against the bill to equalize Soldiers Bountie7
passed at the last session of Congress.
Mr.. Nicholson was sent to Congress to look
after the interests of the people of Delaware
his constituents. He knew that the soldiers
frou this State, especially those who went out
during the first years of the war, land whom
this act is intended to beneit) went to the de-
fence Of the Government without any bounty
whatever; he knew that after three years hard
fighting large majority of thesH brave men
volunteered to fight three years more if neces-
sary, and help to make up Delaware's quota,
notwithstanding the State refused them the
smallest bounty; he knew that at the same
time they could have received from 5000 to
$l10O by making up the quota of other States;
he knew that these men, Notwithstanding the
service they h&d rendered, received but small
cdvan"e in bo"E.v over those who he'd rot
5"en . Hc ;r' = : da. and still, when Ger
ress orc. .)osed to remedy this mistake AM
give those who had done the most fighting the
most bounty, he says No! Notwithstanding
the State had been shamefully ungratefll to
them, Mr. Nicholson lent his efforts TO make
the Government equally so. Theie were 70
troops in the war who endured NOR an re-
ccived less for it than the those in the First,
Second, Third and Fourth Delaware Regiments.
And the disgrace rests upon Mr.. Nicholson
and his party. They could have made it other
wise had they desired. Soldiers will not hold
them blamelass,
All during the war the Copperhead party
offered the Boys in Blue every insult and
reprOach they could heap upon them, especi
ally in this State, refusing to allow them no
only bounties, but even the cheap commodity
of sympathy. And now to court their favol
; and solicit their suffrage is an insult to them
Soldiers, will you support man who not onl!
insulted you but attempted to deprive you o
, that which the Government deemed yo,
justly entitled to. Gen. Grant says that "h
. regarded it as an insult to any loyal man h
e ask him to vote for :; candidate who was no
: loyal in 1861" Governor Salisbury and MI
!. Nicholson belong to the Clymer school, t
