These Were the in ducements held hut to you to vote Thr a change. You voted for the change because, you believed it to be to your. interest to do nn For eigtit, long; weary, toilsome, years you have tried that change, and we ask you honestly, now; how much have you been bun& fited by it?

Count them up and see what they are now, then compare them with what they were before you voted, for the change, and you will see that it has been a chaoge,frour good to bad —from plenty to poverty. It *lll not be long until an oppor tunity is offered for an other change of administration, and as you have given abolitionism a trial of eight yeari, we ask you earnestly to think over the advantages you may gain by giving us a trial for four years.s— Times can't be made worse, and we give you every pledge that honest men can, that we will lessen your taxes by lessening the public expense —by making the rich pay his proper tion of the taxes—by making the ne kro keep himself—by abolishing the thousands of petty offices filled by thieving offieials—by rigid economy in public expenses, and by a general changein the affairs of government.

It his repudiated, its ffwo name pearly, and its profeasetivinuiples ns efteff as it was necessary ! In fact it has repudiated every promise, every pledge, every law, every obstacle that laid in its march of oppression, outrage and plunder. Nothing has been sacred to it but wrong—nothing but has been repudi- ated by it except Perjury I Oppression Plunder! Infamy ! Indecency! And Crithe ! And it is because this public debt is an oppression upon the people.— becaused untaxed bonds are an infa mous swindle, and their whole sys tem of finance a gigantic robery that they deem it so peculiarly sacred and binding. Were the poor of the coun try interested in the public debt, rep resented by untaxed' . government bonds, they would have been repudi ated in less than six months after they were Issued, and these very leaders of the Mongrel party who are so bitterly denouncing every "form 9f repudiation," would have been the firet,to propose and carry•it'out.

No-one can hesitate in answering these ques tions, for all must.see at a glance that however groat the difference may be between greenbacts and gold, there is an equal .differenep between them and national book notes. Then why were these banks created, and for whose benefit are they kept up ? There must be profit in them, or capitalists wonld•not have been so anxious to get into them. This profit comes' from the pockets of the poor and BUN the cogers of the rich, and the act of cre ating the national hank system was of a part with all' mongrel legislation; which has univerAlly tended to de press the poor and to elevate the rich. One of the objeets.accomplished by thtine national banks is-niost miinifest, and if the people like it they ought to support the . party which devised the system. It s forms a large and powerful oligarchy which will support unto dreh the intrty which supports themand furnishes a channel th'reugh which untold slims of money ,tuay he used to carry elections. One of the principal objects of' all the nets of the mongrel party has been to iilrpetunte itself in power, and this object is never lost sight of no matter what may be the result upon the, in terests of the country.' Thus, all the "reconstructed' measures, — which have kept the union severed, divided the people more widely,cost thousands of millions ofdollars and now threaten the whole country with civil war and ruin, were devised fur the sole pur pose of perpetuating the power of the tadical party. Without them, the union would have been perfect long ago, the country in a conditi in of perfect. pence and prosperity, and the blic debt growing less, instead of increasing every day. Yet.sill the in terests of the cou n try have been sac rificed. the union kept dissevered and the ruin of the whole country almost brought about in order that the negro may be a voter and support the Rad ical phrty fn filet, we know of no measure of this party which has not had in view as the prime object thy perpetuatien of its own power. Eie ything else is made to subserve this purpose, whatever loss the country may suffer, Or whetever may Le the burden upon the people. The act creating the national bank system is no exception to this rule. It is, in tact, a thorough illustration of it. Millions upon millions of dol larm are lest to the government and gained by rich capitalists without the slightest benefit to those from wheiso pockets the money is taken, awl the real object is to gFve power to the Mongrel party. If the people are str blinded by pre• judice or fanaticism that they are willing to he made the victims of such outrages upon them, let them contin uo to support the party which commits them. If the desire to ace equality in . taxation and in everything else among men •t* the same race, let them support the party which never knows a distinction between rich and poor, and never separates its own interests front the interests of the whole cow). try.
