shall be regained by the election of
the Democratic candidates.
Eighth That they, the Democratic
rebel leaders, promise only, as the
consequences Of their triumph, the
renewal of the war, the destruction
oil the reorganized States, and the
overthrow OF the. popular represen-
tative branch of the Government; or
its subsection to Executive viii and
dictatiOn.
WHY THE REPUBLICAN PARTY SHOULD
BE TRUSTED.
First. That of all its millions not
one man was q traitor; every man
stood firmly by liberty and Union.
Second. That its civil admins
trstion of the Government, notwith-
standing the exigencies of the war.
has saved to the people, as compared
with Democratic rule, $4,000, 900
per year. @s
Third. That it has actually paid
and cancelled within eight years
nearly one thousand seven hundred
millions of dollars of the liabilities
incurred by the war; and since the
close of the war, while steadily re-
dueing the public taxes, it has also
reduced the public debt from 81
757, ,253, ,427, in 1856, to s2, 400, ,324,-
S43 in 1860, being an aggregate for
three years of s267 ,000, 900, or $780,
900, 900 per year.
Fourth. That for the present year
a reduction of taxation tothe amount
of $67 900, 900 has been made, and
more than 10000 articles of product
and manufacture have been with
drawn from the tax lists.
Fifth. That bat for the obstinacy
of the Democrats in Congress, and of
their plant tool, Andrew Johnson, a
reduction of interest upon the public
debt amounting TO at least S49, 900
per annum would have been provided
for. ............-...-
Sixth. That the Republican party,
by its candidates and platform, is
irrevocably pledged to economy, to
the maintenance of the public faith,
the preservation of the peace and
unity of the States, and the liberty
and prosperity of the people that all
its pledges in the past have been re-
deemed, affording the best guaranty
of their value in the future.

THERE has been much cheap re-
ioicing of late, in Seymour circles,
ut an article by Horace Greeley in q
religious newspaper, urging on Re
publicans the necessity of work to
secure victory. If any consolation
is derived from such matters, they
are fairly entitled to a little more OF
the same sort. Mr.. Greeley closes
an article, on the prospects IN New
York thus: IL.
Friends, North and South, East
and West do not distrust New York
She never failed you yet at a critical
moment except in '62, when at least
fifty thousand of her voters were car
rying muskets in Dixie or sleeping
beneath its turf. The causualties of
war have seriously cut down our ma
jority, but have not destroyed it.
You will have to work very hard and
to very good purpose to do better in
vour several States than the Empire
State will do tor Grant, Colfax and q

The Hancock Jeffersonian. [volume] (Findlay, Ohio) 1857-1870, 1868-09-11
Important Facts from Official Sources.

Published by the Union Republican Central
Committee, Washington, ID. C.
When the Republican party came
into power, in 1861, they found q
tremendous Democratic rebellion on
their hands, o rebellion which the
Democratic party had been thirty
years threatening and four years Or
ganizing..
This unjust and wicked war began
in the interest of slavery, and its
terrible burden of debt and taxation
is the legacy which the Democratic
administration OF James Buchanan
bequeathed to the Republican par.
ty. They accepted the bequest
from necessity, and went to work
with heroic energy and unpar-
allied patriotism to discharge the ter
rible trust thus imposed upon them
by the enemies of the country.
Alter four years of bloody war, in
which 800, 900 patriots sacrificed their
lives, an equal number were manned
for life, and a million of widows and
orphans made, the loyal men who arc
now acting with the Republican party
put down the rebellion and saved the
Government.
In accomplishing this great and
holiest work that ever patriots I'M
dertoOk, beside the sacifice of life
and limb it involved, and the misery
i. brought into every family in the
land, they were compelled to expend
thousands of millions of dollars.
The following tables, compiled
from the annual report of the Secre
tary of the Treasury. and that of Mr..
Treasurer Spinner, one of the most
faithful, efficient, and competent
officers in the Government service,
will exhibit at a glance the whole
cost of the great Democratic rebel
lion, from what sources the money
was drawn, and how it has been ex-
pended. We challenge for it the
closest scrutiny.
EXPENDITURE OF THE WAR DEPART
MENT.
The Hancock Jeffersonian. [volume] (Findlay, Ohio) 1857-1870, 1868-09-11
Tota' Of debt, interest, pen
sions, etc., paid 81


sions, etc., paid $3.50, ,725, ,2lS 60
Here is the almost incalculable
sum OF one thousand five hundred and
eighty millions seven hundred and
twenty five thousand two hundred
and eighteen dollars, which the Re
publican patty have pMd in interest
on the national debt, on the principal
for pensions, etc, alb in seven years,
and this, too Notwithstanding the dis
graceful fact that the Government
has been swindled out of not less
than three hundred millions OF dol
'ars through the corrupt Democratic
combination known as the "Whisky
ring" But for the men who are so
bitterly assailing the Republican
party for debt growing out of their
own treason, the national debt would
be full three hundred millions of dol
lars less than it is, ard the people
would be saved eighteen millions of
dollars annually, for which they now
have to be taxed to pay the interest
on that sum, of which the Govern
ment and people are thus robbed.
No party that ever existed either
in this country or any other, in this
or any other age of the world, has
shown such fidelity to the people as
the Republican party. The figures
given above-all taken from official
sources, and all of which are entitled
to implicit credit-cOnstitute the
most remarkable record of fidelity,
integrity, skill and patriotism ever
written.
But there are still other facts which
exhibit the economy, fidelity and
honesty of tie Republican party in
quite as prominent a light, if not so
important in themselves. These
have reference to the

The Hancock Jeffersonian. [volume] (Findlay, Ohio) 1857-1870, 1868-09-11

This will show that the Republi-
cans have paid s26,172,6O0 more OF
the public debt since the war closed
than they have ever had credit for.
They may safely rest satisfied, how
ever, with the less favorable state
ment which has already been given
on page 2. But they have q right to
lay claim to the payment of several
items not yet enumerated, which do
not belong to the ordinary expenses
of the Government, but most of which
have grown out of and are chargeable
to this Democratic Rebellion. They
may be stated thus:

WHY THE DEMOCRTIC PARTY SHOULD
NOT BE TRUSTED.
First. That the Democratic party
forced upon the country and the Re
publican ADM nistration an expen-
diture of more than four thousand
millions of treasure
Second. That the rebellion was
begun for the express purpose OF
oyerthrowlng G Republican institutions
and establis hing upon their ruins q
slaveholding oligarehy; and that all
the burdens of national taxation, past,
present anCl prospective, are the nee
essary consequences OF the Demo
cratic rebellion.
Third. That the vast sacrifice OF
life on the battle field, and in the
hospitals and prisons, isjustiy charge
able to the reasonable sections sad
purposes of the Democratic leaders.
Fourth That in preparation fof
this rebellion, the whole power OF tie
last Democratic Administrator was
exhausted. The public treasury plan
dered, the navy scattered or dIsman-
tied, and the army placed under the
command OF traitors and quartered
beyond the reach of the incoming
Administration, and within the ter
ritories of the contemplated revol-
utionary government.
Fifth. That all these acts were
done in obedience to the orders of
the Democratic conspirators, and by
the advice and with the approval OF
the Democratic leaders in every sec
tion of the country.
Sixth. That these same leaders
controlled the late Democrstic Nom
mating Convention, dictated its plat
form, and designatedits candidates.
Seventh. That these same leaders,
by their public orators and press,
declare it to be their settled POI cY
that Democratic success shall restore
TO the late rebels-in-arm supr elnacy
in the government OF the Stataes an,l
the nation; and that ali that wa 5 LOST

RECEIPTS FROM BONDs.

NoTR.-The aggregate balances
remaining in the Treasury at the
close of each fiscal year amounting
to 552,344, ,6l9 80 from / So to 1865,
Inclusive, were esrried forward, and
thus the difference between the total
apparent receipts from bonds and Or
dinary sources is accounted for.
These tables, exhibiting the entire
receipts of the Government from all
sources, and also its expenditures
during and since the war ). the re-
ceipts of the Government from the
sale of bonds, or from loans and
Treasury notes, and then its receipts
from ordinary sources, shows at a
glance the stupendOus expense OF
the great shareholders, or Democratic
rebellion, and should be carefully
studied by every tax payer iii the
land. While studying them let the
people who have to foot The bills run
up against the Government, remem-
ber that they were caused By the men
and the party who are supporting
Seymour and Blair, and threatening
another just such rebellion if they
succeed.
REDUCED EXPENSES FOR 1866.
There is still another table the
people should carefully study, for II
will show them that " lille the Dem
ocratic party by their tire 'Ison caused
an annual expenditure of thousand
millions OF dollars for four years, a
Republican Congress has reduced 1t
to one hundred and seven million
of dollars, which, reduced To gold, is
five millions less than the old DEM
ocratic standard before the war. The
following are the appropriations for
the ordinary expenses of the Govern
ment for the present fiscal year:

GEMS FROM SEYMOUR.

'sThe authority Of mob is equal
to that of government" Horatio
Seymour, July A, 1868.
ssLet us see if successful coercion
by the North is less Revolutionary
than successful Secession in the
South. "-I Seymour's Speech at
Tweddle Hall, Jan. 81, 1864.
"Judge, have you read the Con-
federate Constitution - i
have; and it is preferable to the FEEDER
AZ Constitution. Now why not avoid
all trouble by ourselves adopting the
Confederate Constitution. Sey-
mour to Judge Charles H. Ruggles,

Washington 20 confer with the au-
thorities there and 10 have this draft

Gus cheers. seymour to the New
York mob, July II, 1868.
''It is believed by at least one-half
the people of loyal States that the
Conscription act, which they are
called upon to obey because 1t is on
the statute-book, is in itself viola
ton of the supreme constitutional
law. = I do not dwell upon

quences of u violent, harsh policy,

act is tested You can scan the fu-
ture as well as L. The temper of the
people to-day yOas can readily learn"
-TSeymour to President Lincoln.
DISGRACEFUL CONCESSION.
Seymour boasts that he does not
and never did hold single dollar of
government bonds. James Buehan-
IN is another of the same class.
Now these men were wealthy;
neither of them had any children, and
no calls upOn them for their money.
But in 1862, and during the war there
was a loud and constant call upon
Them and every loyal man of means,
for money to pay the soldiers, and
procure the necessary supplies to
sustain our army in putting down the
rebellion. But no; not y cent. They
were opposed 10 the war, and would
contribute nothing to sustain it.
Contrast their conduct with that OF
Lincoln, who lent the nation every
dollar he had to spare, till the day of
his death.
Yet, this same Seymour now asks
the loyal people to vote for him for
President. They will never do it.
Such supreme selfishness, such treat
ment of his country its hour of dan
ger can only secure a harvest OF con-
tempt.

1t will be seen from this table that
the Public Debt reached It's highest
point in 1866, the year after the close

Thus it will be seen that it has
cost the people three billion three
hundred and thirty-seven million
nine hundred and thirty four thous-
and five hundred and eighty
nine dollars to save their Gov
ernment from the reasonable con-
spiracy of the Democratic par
ty. When the war closed in 1857
the national debt was $2,757, ,253, ,43I,
showing that while prosecuting the
war for the Union, the Republicans
had actually paid of this expense
S62O,6S1, ,162 26, (six hundred and
twenty millions six hundred and
eighty one thousand one hundred and
sixty-twO dollars and twenty-siX

be just that amount larger than 1T Is
now, and the people would be COM
PEELED to pay s37,00O,0O0 (thirty-
seven million of dOllars) of taxes
annually more than they now pay
But since that time the public debt
has been largely diminished, as the

Let it be kept constantly before
the tax payers of the country that the
Republican party not only carried on
this bloody four years war, begun
by the Democracy against the Union,
but that they paid from the receipts
they provided measures for bringing
into the Treasury more than eight
hundred and eighty-seven millions of
dollars, saving to the people the in
terest on this vast sum, which would
