the questions of taxing the Nationa
bonds is the most difficult one con
nected with our financial SYSTEM
and, that to tax them in the face o.
the guarantee incorporated in the
law that they should not be taxed
" "'oould be equivalent TO reputation" !"
The Courier coolly proposes to give
the holders Of the National bonds q
choice between being taxed and re-
pudiation. The villainy of the prop
ositon surpasses the atrocity Of the
war of the rebellion. 1t reminds one
of the story of the Frenchman who

to run it into the body of a Yankee.
The latter showed fight and was the
victor in the contest. The subdued

Facts for the Soldier.

Soldiers who think of casting their
votes with the Democratic party
should not forget that when the bill
giving them the right to vote in the
field was presented in the State Sen.
ste, every Democratic Senator voted
against it, claiming that: "a voter
disfranchises himself and ceases tc
be citizen when he takes upon him
self the duties of soldier" This il
the party that now processes an ar
dent and exclusive affection for thu
soldiers.

Vote the straight ticket.

1t is said that when the Pennsyl-
vania Copperheads called on the
President last week for the offices
and funds to help them carry the
State, he told them that he gave five
thousand dollars last year, but that
he was not altogether certain whether
he should give them any more at this
time; that their Endorsement of his
policy had not been so cordial this
year as 1t had been last; that their
State and many Of their county con-
ventions had failed to indorse his
policy, yet it was finally agreed that
the Office holders should be called
upon to pay their share, and thus en-
able the Copperheads of Pennsylva.

OUTRAGEOUS.

II there is anything calculated to
arouse the Indignation of the gallant
men who served with glorious Phil
Sheridan, in the late war, we think
the followingfrom the leading Cop
perhead paper of the northwest, the
Chicago Times, will produce that
feeling:
"HoD. Mike McCoole and Phil.
Sheridan have both had enthusiastic
receptions at st. Louis. That given
to the man who punched Jones out
of time was larger and more enthu-
siastic than that given to the man
who knocked Wells and some others
out Of time in the ring in Louisiana,
In giving preference to McCoole
St Louis did right. He is the more
honorable of the two. He not only
gave, but took punishment. Sheri
dan struck an opponent whose hands

Voters Of Hancock Counfy.

Under no circumstances cease to
remember that the contest at the polls
in this State, to take place on Tues
day, October Sth, will decide issues
involving all that is important and
essential to the peace, permanence
and prosperity of the nation. The
Union Republican candidate for the
humblest Office in the gift of the peo-
pie represents great principle, and
his election is necessary to secure
the success Of that principle. The
Union Republican party saved the
country from treason. Had the Cop
perheads been let alone, the slave
holders rebellion would have been a
triumph. We would have had q di-
vided country. JEFF. Davis would
have been enthroned tyrant in the
South, and the people of the North
compelled to pay tribute for his sup
port. Union Republican policy and
Union Republican bsyonets defeated
these dangers. Nevertheless, the
Copperheads of the North are still
the friends of traitors and are strug-
Cling now for political victories for
power to revive the war Of treason.
Hence, We assert, it is necessary to
defeat the Copperheads at the ballot
box as it was to vanquish rebels on
the battle field. Had the rebels sue
ceeded, the national debt would have
been repudiated. Let the Copper
heads be victorious at the polls and
they win do what the rebels failed to
accomplishment WILL REPUDIArs
THE PUBLIC DEBIT Every purpose at
which the rebels failed OF success the
Copperheads are striving to accom-.
plish. This gives all our elections a
national character and renders the
services Of the Union voter as i'm
portsnt as those of the Union sol
dier.

Does any man doubt the Copper
heads desire to create financial cri-
sis in which the business Of the
country may be wreckeds Here Is
the proof: Three years ago they
cried Justify against greenback cur
rency, demanding that 1t be with
drawn and metal at once substituted
for paper. Had this advice been
then taken, bankruptcy would have
been entailed on every business man
| in the land. The same men are now
the eager advocates an Of increase OF
greenbacks to the extent OF two bill
lions. Their object is the same II
both cases. They wished to damage
the public credit in the first place by
crying down the currency; failing IL
this they now wish such an over
issue of paper as will deprec'at'
the currency until the Government
is bankrupted. Vallandigham ant
Pendleton are at the head OF tn
movement.

Vallandigham is perambulating the

or no nominal advance in their wages,

Watch the Tricks.

Here are a few copperhead tricks
invented and played sharply by Val
tiandigham and his followers, to diver
the minds Of the people from the rea
issues Of the campaign:
They have raised a great how,
about the 100000, Soldiers fund
which was used 10 apply on the
State debt; not that they carea fig for
the soldiers or their families but
thinking they may possibly secure a
few OF their votes. At thesame tune
they opposed the voting of the in
mates of the Soldiers Home, and the
!colored soldiers.
They opposed the law which auth
orized white soldiers to vote, and
they are now opposing the amend
ment to the Constitution, which pro-
poses to confer the right of suffrage
on eolored soldiers. -e -
They are trying to force the people
on false scent in relation to taxa
ton and finance, in order to make
them forget, that all our Government
debt and taxes, are the result of Dem.
ocratic opposition to the war.
They assure the people that by
flooding the country with rags, that
the public debt will be paid, and tax
alton decreased by the amount of in.
terest.
But they don't tell the people that
these rags will be debt, and that they
will increase taxation q hundred fold
by depreciating the currency and
running industry. The result must be
Wholesale repudiation. universal ruin
and utter National dishonor.
They say that giving the negro the
right to vote will make them the
competitors of white mechanics. ANY
mechanic who is fool enough to be.
lieve that, must necessarially he a
Democrat. The Union party has no
such tools in its ranks. The right to
vote makes no man vote. Democratic
magistrates let loafers escape the
penalties Of the law every dsy. he
cause they have votes, but ;ho f;c.
of their being voters don't make
them work.

M Neutral Ground.

There is one feature connected
with voting on the Constitutional
Amendment. which prevents true
test upon the question. There are
thousands who will not vote "No,'
but content themselves by not voting
at all upon the subject; thus sup
posing they express their dissent
from the negative of the proposition
Unfortunately those are counted
against the proposition. Let this b'
remembered. There is no neutra
ground.
The Hancock Jeffersonian. [volume] (Findlay, Ohio) 1857-1870, 1867-10-04

Vallandigham (who should have
stretched hemp several years ago)
declared, in a recent speech at Mt.
Gilead, that lac hoped and expected
that the Democratic Legislature to
be elected this fall would "legislate'
him into Congress. In other words,
he hopes and expects to be elected

The Democratic party of this state
do not expect to elect their State
ticket, but they do hope to carry the
Legislature. and if they do they will

go bold as to count upon carrying

Vote the Whole Ticket.

We write the above caption with
out fear that any number Of the Re-
|publicans of this county will vote
any other than the WHOLE Ticket
In ordinary local elections it is per-
haps proper to support the lest men
presenting themselves as candidates,
but there are times when elections
have deeper significance than lies
upon the surface. The struggle on
Tuesday October sth, is not simply
whether Demoersts shall be elected,
but the question before us is, shall
the rebels who sought to destroy
this land come back and rule the
North with rod of iron, as they did
before the war?
Andrew johnson has commenced
his new crusade against the North.
Now, every vote cast for . Demo
cratic candidate, however great may
be his personal mertits, is inevitably
received as an approval of Johnson's
ruinous course. In California and
Maine, side issues we're allowed to
exercise powerful influence, and
now these elections are held up as
Democratic triumphs.
Let every Union Republican then
reflect that a vote cast for a Dem
ocrat is is inevitably misinterpreted
into an endorsement of Johnson
Can any of US afford to be so misin.
terpreted? We say without hesita-
ton that every Union Republican
who has at heart the interests of good
government and the support of Con-
gress, should at this election allow
himself to be actuated by but one
consideration, the overpowering nec-
essity of rebuking the would be
Presidential Caesar.
If single Democrat should be
elected to the smallest office in a
county it would at once be heralded as
a triumph and endorsement of Andy
Johnson's treachery. We hope,
therefore, thst every Union Repub-
lican will vote nothing but the
WHOLE TICKET"

We heard q Copperhead ask a
man, "were you not drafted2" 81
was," replied the man. "Then,
said the Copperhead, "you can't vote
for Republican, and must vote for
Democrats, because we were opposed
to The draft-opposed to the war" F"
This tells the story. or course the
Copperheads were opposed te the
war. Of course the Democracy were
opposed to the war-opposed to the
war as far as fighting rebels was con
cerned, but in favor of the war Of
far as they could aid the rebels to
success. We thank this blahbing
Copperhead for having thus frankly
stated the position Of his party. T'
be sure the Copperheads were op
posed 10 the war.

Merchants, Manufacturers, Mechan-
les and Laborers! the interests OF the
country require your earnest and
active CO. operation to advance the
Republican cause. You can only
prosper in peace. Peace Is q fruit
which can only be gathered in Union
Republican victories. If the Cop
perheads triumph at the llot-box,
we shall soon see rebels once more
ON the battlefield. This is as certain
as rebel hate of Union men is i'm
placable.

Democratic Decency.

The La Crosse Democrat, edited by
the notorious Brick Pomeroy, and
moro widely circulated than any 9TH
er Democratic paper in that State,
speaks as follows Of the martyred
President, Abraham Lincoln, in re-
cent issue:
Everything concerning the depar-
ted cuss possesses q fascination and
charms for US which we make no effort
to resist-we wouldn't if we could
we feel his loes more than most peo-
pie, for he was such nice, sweet,
beautiful man-possessed Of such
winning ways and charming charac-
teristics--and he was snuffed out of
existence SO easy-he was human
first class rocket, and everybody used
to admire him so-they didn't think
there was any touch and-go in him
|thatIthere was so much of that 'divin-
|ity which doth hedge about DC.
But one day q naughty boy, John
Wilkes Booth by name, came along,
and he admired the rocket, and he
said: "Oh what a beautiful rocket
and he scratched match, and touch
ed it's flame to the nice, frst-class
rocket, and before any one could say,
"Let me kiss him for his mother" il
went off with fizz, pop, and bang,
his soul to glory, we reckon--and al
that was left of the amusing rocket
was a nasty, blackened, broken stick,
and an empty case, Of no account to
any body or anything"
There is an excellent specimen o.
Democratic decency and taste. Tht
grave is not sacred to this hyena ant
even martyrdom does not sanctify th'
patriot President from the foul abuse
and malignant hatred OF the disunior
Democracy.

were bound. He did not permit his
antagonist to return his blows. In
this respect he is much inferior to his
brother Celt; and st. Louis was ju'
dic1ous in its discrimination.
McCoole has started q whiskey
shop; Sheridan has gone to estab-
lish private Indian Seraglio. In
respect to their occupations, McCoole
is still ahead in point Of respectable
ty. In the future, as in the past,
McCoole seems destined to prove
himself the superior of the other in
responsibility Of pursuit and bravery,
as much as he proved himself the su-
perior Of Jones in point of muscle
and endurance"
