Let them beware what they do. The
people are for peace. They will vote for
no war man. The vital question now
is, peace or war; and ifthere is no peace
man in the field, more than two-thirds
of the party viii stay at home.

Reputation is already advocated by

Thaddeus Stevens favors the repudia-
ton Of the interest in gold. BOrFo Wers,
who in good faith loaned this money to
the Government on the pledge Of pay

deprecated that no fixed value can be
ascribed to it.

Tt must now be evident to Wer Demo-
Gratis that the Democratic people are uni
tedly Tor peace; that longer prosecution
of the war can lead to no results save
the more complete and hopeless ruin of
the Northern States.

As the Zreenback dollar is north a lit
tie over Ghirty-three cents, the fact is
clear that sixty-seven hundreths are Ell
tber dirt or something very like it.
From the same, July 8, 1864.
It is an amazing sightin a government
pretending to be free, to see millions Of
It's citizens driven into the Southern
slaugnter-peus for no other purpse than
a
desire TO live with us, aud prefer a gov
ernment OF their own. Blood enough
has been spilled. If our armies now in
the field are unsuccessful it must cease
to flow.

A BENEvOLENT ACU-AIRs SCH HsFER
SENDS 500 TO THE FEBALE ORPHANS
IN HICHAOND-TEII3 r JOEfN BROWN OR
GAN DON'T LIKE 1T,
" While in Richmdnd, Mr.. William K.
Miller saw Henry a. Wise. one OF the
most influential and culpable of all reb-
el leaders. He is quite poor. We learn
that purse of one hundred dollars was
made up among the COpperheads of
Canton, last week, and forwarded by
Schaeter TO this hOary, unrepeutant
rebel. His attitude toward the veteran
soldiers is very different. See the Coum-
Gil proceedings in this paper. He andhis
tools are doing their utmost to prevent
the payment of one hundred dollars
bounty TO each veteran from Canton, as
required by law. There Is not paral-
fel to such unspeakable nleanuess s to be
lOund anywhere.
A DIcGregor, Esq:
Sir-One of Thaddeus stevens g Back
Pipes - alias the Starke County Repub-
licaH, Ornamented one Of its columns,
last week, with the above specimen of
classical literature As" JOSIAH is
WOrthily informed on the subject, i viii
favor him with the facts, and thereby
assume all the Odiun of the deed done,
myself exOnerating other q" Copper
heads " here from any participation in
this most horrible transaction.
On theZOth day Of January, 1866, for
Warded TO eX-GovnrnOr Henry A. Wise
a draft, payable 20 his order i'm New
York City, for 500, to be appropriated
by him, in accordance with the dictates
Of his own wishes. The amountWas not
g made up by the Copperheads" " in Cam
ton, but was my own individual con-
for the benefit Of the white
poor in Richmond. The draft, inclosed
in an envelope, remained at the Rich
mond express office nearly two months
before its delivery the express charges /
thereon were prepaid by me.
In the latter part Of March, 1866, Mr..
Wise acknowledged its receipt. Among
at last am able to thank YOU for this
evidence that there is brotherhood in
manhood. God, / pray, will make all
such acts profitable to givers and takers. ]
I have received this for the Female
Orphan Asylum of Richmond, for which
I made the appeal, which attracted
your charitable notice. / Wiil pay over
the money to the Directors or Su perrin
tendent, take their receipt, and forward
you voucher, that you haYe generous 1
ly done q deed of benefcence, and re-
peat, may God bless you for it.''
The only regret I have in the matter,
is, that my pecuniarY abilities did not
permit me to increase the amount to one
million instead of one hundred dollars. /
In conclusion / WOuld say that HAVE
VOLUNTARILY CONTRIB
UTED A FARTHING, NOR EVER
NOR EVER ENTERTAINED ONE
THO'T IN FAVOR OF
EITHER OF OUR TWO LATE ABOLI- /
ZION REBELLIONS, ONE HEADED
BY JOHN BROWN AND THE OTHER
BY ABRA HAM LINCOLN.
AS regards my attitude toward the
veteran soldiers, I may be permitted to ]
state that / entertain no unlzind person /
al feeling for them, and I should be the I
asst man who would shirlS or shrin k 4
rom the full compliance of any prom
Sc by me heretofore made to them /
themselves a Military Committee, Hand
Who made those promises, would now do
he same, the veterans would not have
% complain; but while that committee,
With its satellites, during the war, inn
POSED upon the veterans IN making those
lnwarranted promises, without consul
ing the City COuncil-prOmises which
he committee at the time knew it could I
Ind would not comply With as a
mem ber of City Council of Canton,
10 not fell delegated with the authority /
ly the people who elected me, to impose /
. tax of nearly five thousand dollars /
lpOn them If the Legislature of Ohio 4
las the legal right to require or COM /
nand our City Council to vote for the 4
payment Of the bounty, it undoubtedly /
ilsO has the pORer and legal right to dis /
.harge that duty itself.
To sum up the whole matter, certain 1
lemagOgues, who are aspirants for office !
IRE at the bottom Of this question, and 4
by hDmbugging the veterans
n the manner they do, they can manu-
acture some political capital in their
avor, see their names in print, and
hereby secure the object of their un-
ambition. Some of this class
# political freeboOters enlisted in the
rmy, are animated and controlled by
he same motives.
Yours, respectfully,
L. SCHEFER.
