NEW - CASTLE, Sept. 30, 1863.
The sound of a drum last night announced
a meeting at White Hail, at which Messrs.
R. B. Carnahan and Thos. J. Bighain of
your city were to Speak. Said hall was
comfortably filled by enthusiastic admirers
of Grant and Colfax, and quite a number ,
of the opftsitioti,* to hear these well-known
and eloquent orators. • The programme was
commenced with the beautiful "Star Span
gled Banner, " sung by the really excellent-
Grant and C olfax Glee Club of this place.
Mr. Carnahan was the first speaker. He
interested the assemblywith quite a lengthy
speech on the great issues which have been
moat prominently brought before the peo
ple.
It was quite late when Bighatn "opened
on 'em," but he managed to create a deal of
merriment—which he can do, especially
when the returns are coming in—besides a
profound attention to the, many able re
marks made in the short time he was ena
bled to keep the stand. Both gentlemen
were somewhat wearied with the traveling
done during the day to Wirtemburg, in
this county, and to other points. The meet

TREASIIItY OF TALN UN/TED mTATEiht
WAt3HINOTON, Sept. 23, 1868.
Sir—Your letter, with the enclosure as
therein stated, of the 21st 'instant has been
received. There' can be no doubt that the
issuing or
to be passin
ro
g of the paper which p
ports a, otte dollar legal tender note of
M=MM
the United States, that came enclod in
your letter, is in clear violation of the se tentb
and eleventh sections of the act of June 30,
1364. This law declares it to be FELONY to
make, issue, sell, utter, publish or pass any
note in the likeness or similitude" of any
security' of the United States.' And on con
viction thereof the party so offending may
be punished by a fine not exceeding $1,000, ,
or by imprisonment at hard . labor not ex
ceeang fifteen years, or both, in the dis
cretion -of the Court. This paper seems
clearly to be of the kind that the law was
intended to interdict, and it seems to be
equally dear that any person Who has done
anything in the way of putting it into circu
lation is equally subject to the_pains and
penalties denounced by the at:stale. The
law of February 5,•186 1 1, whirr 2, enacts,
"That it shall not be lawful to%engrave,
utter, issue, distribute, circulate, er use any
business or professional card; notice, pla
card, circular, handbill or advertiseMent, in
the lifWnees or similitude of any bond, cer
tificate of indebtedness, catifieatet of de
posit, coupon, United Statesnote, fractional
note, postage stamp note or other obligation
er security of the United States "s "And
any person, or parsons ; offending against the
provisions of this section, ahail be - subject
to a penalty of 4:100, to be recovered by an
action of debt, one-half to the rise of the
informer." - Now, if them is- any doubt
about the applicatioa of the act of June 30,
1804. there certainly can be none as to the
application of the act of February 5, 1867,
last quoted, to the case undertonsideration.
Here now is a chanoe for all who desire to do
the country &good service benefit them
selves-as well:at the same 'trim Vigorous
action underthis law will rid : the land of
this abominable nuisance at mite; effectually
and forever. You say that "these spurious
notes are being circulated by the thousands
throughout the county, by the - Democratic
party for electioneering purposes, but, that
it is really passing as currency, That hun
dreds of dollars of it is passed daily upon
the ignorant classes-at fire - represented value
upon the face." Like informatiew pomes to-
us from all parts of the country„ turd I am
told that the same kind of paper - people
largely :wrong the colored
of the South. That the freedmen are being,
told to hold to it, and to vote for Seymour,
that if they succeed in electing him these
Democratic money issues, thatbear his effigy
will be worth as much as the Federal Gov
ernment's greenbacks. But these black
men are nearly all Republicans, arid have
learned to read; it is, therefore, doubtful c'
whether they will be taken in as readily as r
their more gullible opponents. Large ' 4
handbills full of scurrilous falsities have l
been sent me, on which this same counter
felt note appears. This, like the other, is in !
violation of law. The Democratio party
has been presented by the grand inquest of
the nation, as being guilty of other hieb. '.
crimes and Misdemeanors, and is now in
the criminal dock in the great court of the -,
whole people to answer to the charges.
There is little/doubt what the'verdiet will he
~
when it is rendered and recorded on- the 3d
.of November next. •
Perhaps the lesser mime of forgery is I.
merged in the greater ones, for which it is
now on trial. Batas this paper •is a fraud, • '
both politically and pecuniarily; so bold
that one can searcejy see how any Republi- can cancan be deceived by it, it. is perhaps ;
hardly worth the while for tui to protect the t
!
guilty ones from cheating each other with 1
it. If we go to this business, we shall have
our hands full of work that would never be 1
finished. This is one of the least of the
I
cheats and frauds which that effete party -
have pitt upon its followers. And- then it i
is barely- possible that this, as it touches '.
their pocket!, may become an eye-opener to -
rome of the blind believerain the now emp
ty name of Democracy. -
It we succeed in the comingg election, and
therein now every indication, that 4310ci is
still With us, and , that we shall, these issues
Of spurious currency, with
,other like
"properties," being the joint stock of the
united Rebel and Copperhead 'Democracy,
will go with:the party, whatever that may
be. Both. will be branded "Counterfeit,"
and be nailed to the counter. But should
the loyal men fail in electing their great
chief, Gen. Grant, to the Presidency, and
the Democrats succeed, and carry out their
doctrines as announced in their platform,
and lathe letters and speeches of their can
didates and principal supporters, North and
South, it • will go hard if this spurious note
and its likes will not be on Par t wi the
regular issues of • the governmen of the
United States. The value of either, the- •
genuine and the counterfeit alike, 'would
than not inaptly be represented by the fig
ure 1, with an indefinite number of 00s on.
the left hand of that unit.
It is noticeable that the rascals hive foi
' lowed the lead of their elder brothers in
fraud' of the New York Convention, and
, hare in this case, as in that, taken off the
' head of Chief Justice Chase, and put in its
stead a face that seems to be 'prepared to -
say "My Friends."
That they have placed a tolerably exact
fac simile of my signature, to certify to the i
truth of their infamously foul and ditty liesi
is a personal indignity •• that will never be
forgiven them. Although the general ap
pearance of this counterfeit is much like the
n,enuine, yet in order to inculcate theirpecu
harly dishonest doctrines upon their igno
rant followers they ingentomsly changed
the face "of the 'note so that it reads, "The • . I -
people of ;the United `States promise to pay
,
the Bondholders in Greenbacks, and they I
will enforce the contract;" and to follow out
the lie, they have added to the end of the 1
legend on the back of the note• the words, - i
"including:the 5'20 bonds." It ia not at all
certain that , it is not seriously, contemplated'
by the Democratic party, should it succeed ,
In the election of Mr. Seymtow to the Presi
dency,
to pay the debt of the United States
with this Democratic airrfincy, Such a I
mime Naiad certainly be but one step in ad- 1
