LOUD CALL.

Having thoroughly and candldly ex'
amined the records Of the distinguished
people whose names are appended to
the loud call hereto annexed, We heart
lily and unreservedly recommend it to
the careful psrusal Of all the world.
A LOUD CALL.
We, the undersigned, merchants,
bankers, brokers, money changers and
capitalists of large means, strict integ-
rity and the highest respectability, deem
it our duty on the eve Of the election OF
a President and Vice President Of the
United States, to recommend to our fel-
low.citizens, OF all classes and shades
Of color, to cast their votes for Ulysses
S. Grant and Henry Wilson.
The following reasons prompt us to
issue this our appeal and recommends
ton:
First-We are each one OF US very
large holders OF Government bonds, for
which we subscribed when a dollar OF
gold coin would purchase only two dol
lars and fifty cents OF paper money:
The interest has been promptly paid
upon the same, and they are now worth
twice their original value. We are
also the principal owners OF several
national banks, which have for many
years declared and paid to US regular
dividends of ten and twelve per cent,
and special dividends of a much larger
amount. The rates OF interest charged
by our banks against our depositors and
the business community have never ex-
ceeded one to one and a halt per cent
per month, and thereby we have been
greatly prospered and been enabled to
accumulate large sums OF money, which
we may hereafter, if We so elect, ex'
pend for the comfort OF our fellow.citi-
zens who have not enjoyed similar pros
perity; and thereby We have also been
enabled to contribute from time to time
to the comfort and independence of our
excellent Chief Magistrate and to aid
in controlling elections for the more
general good of the country.
Second-We are satisfied that any
change in the present Administration
might result in some change or disturb
snce in the money and commercial
markets, by which the rates of divi-
dends declared by our banks and of in
terest and discount charged by them
would both be reduced, which would in
convenience ourselves end encourage
more active and possibly unhealthy
condition of business among the mass
OF our people, who are earnestly ad-
vised to "let well enough alone"
Third-We are advised by our
European correspondents" in the vari-
GUS Wall streets OF Europe that it is the
unanimous desire of the respective en-
perors, kings, sultans, khedives and
merchants princes of the continent, in
cluding also the leading banking houses
OF the Rothchilds, Dives & Co., and
Bullion Bros, that the present stable
Government OF the United States should
be continued indefinitely, and their
opinions have been more recently and
fully confirmed by the reports brought
back to our fellow citizens by "our
Fritz" and the Princess, Nellie.
Fourth-We have made a careful
examination Of the reports which have
prevailed in the community with regard
to the nepotism OF our excellent Presi-
dent, and of the charge that he has
been the receiver Of giits," and we are
satisfied that in making appointments
to office he has not unreasonably gone
out OF his own family, and that in re-
ceiving gifts he has not accepted any
thing ct the hands OF his constituents
which was not OF intrinsic value, and
designed to make his Office and his
household still more independent.
Fith-We have taken great pains to
ascertain the truth Of the reports OF the
results OF the 80 called "carpet-bag"
rule in the cotton States, but We find
that the debt of those States has only
been increased about $250,00O,000
which is not much. At least any three
of the subscribers 70 this appeal could
pay of the whole debt and not feel il"
we are furthermore assured that it is
the purpose OF General and President
Grant to propose measures for the fur
ther relief of the Southern States as
soon as he returns from Long Branch
and can obtain, at Washington, quo
rum OF his Cabinet, which is just now
good deal scattered.
Sixth-We are opposed to Horace
Greeley, and be can not secure the vote
of our European correspondents"
