"A SLIGHT DIFPEEENCE."
Such is the caption of an article in the
last Copperhead organ, of this place, in
which the writer labors to show, ity quot
ing part of a sentence from our article of the
week previous, in reference to the State quo
ta being nearly full.) that we spoke dispar
agingly of our veteran troop. The writer
kuew, when he penned his article, that he
was misrepresenting our meaning hy giving
a garbled extract from our paper that he
was uttering a wilful falsehood. The follow
ing is the paragraph from which he quotes
a part of the sentence referred to :
There is nothing that so forcibly strikes the ob
server, as the character and appearance of these
men who are now enlisting in the service. In
mist rtxprcts they differ from those who have
heretofore gone to the war. They are evidently
the bone and sinew of the Commonwealth, anil
they are going with a stern and Gxed resolve, a
rising from the practical impossibility of negotia
ting a peace upon terms which will secure the res
toration of the Union without conquering our en
emies. They all seem to be fully persuaded that
however anxious they are for peace, they must
use war like means to secure it, or sec their coun
try destroyed.
. .Now, we presume, no man. with the least
particle of common intelligence and observa
tion, will deuy the fact that in many res
pects there IS a difference between those
who are now volunteering and MANY of those
who have heretofore gone to the war that
they are evidently the bone and sinew of the
Commonwealth farmers, machinists, me
chanics, laborers, miners, etc. the strong,
hearty, athletic, indej indent, hard working
yeomanry the "greasy mechaniesand small
fiated farmers" as our neighbor's Southern
brothers" are pleased to call them. And in
thus deliniating the standing of those who
are now enlisting into our army, wc do not
in the least detract from the character of our
veteran soldiery. A more generous, brave,
and valorous set of men, than our war-worn
heroes, never contended with a malignant
foe. But, while we ascribe all honor and
praise to these whole-souled and valiant men,
who will deny the fact, that a goodly num
ber of those who joined the army with them,
at the outbreak of the war, were not of the
same class of men. Look abroad over the
vhol country, and you will find deserters
and skulkers in abnost every locality most
of whom never entered the army for any o
ther purpose than idleness and mercenary
gain and hence, when the realities of a sol
diers' life once confronted them, they soon
contrived some plan, either honorable or dis
honorable, by which their cowardly legs
would carry them out of harms' way. And
surely, in many respects there is at least lia
slight difference'' between these deserters
. and skulkers, and "the warworn veterans,
"those noble men (such as the Pennsylva
" nia Reserves) who enlisted in the service
' 1 to preserve, not to destroy, the Union and
" the Constitution," and of this latter class
are the men who are now volunteering and
tilling up the decimated ranks of our coun
try's defenders. All honor to our brave he
roes veterans aud recruits.
P. J?. The next time our Copperhead
neighbor quotes us, let him do so fairly, and
not attempt to skulk behind a garbled ex
tract to hide his extreme oppositum to the
amendment allowing our soldiers in the ar
my to vote, now that little 'Mac' is bidding
for their votes. But, remember neighbor,
you can't hide the "cloven foot" in that
way, for our brave boys will recognize it,
even should youbeslime it with "soft soap.'
Court commences on Monday next in
t hi place. - :
TJ0NGEE33-WM. EIGLEE.
By the last Clearfield Republican we learir
that Hon. Wm. Bigler, of this place, has
been nominated, as a candidate for Con-
gress; by the "Peace Democracy of the
19th 'District. However much we may es
teem Mr. Bigler as a neighbor and citizen,
we have never thought much of- his course
as a iolitici;ui ; and hence, anything we may
say in reference to him, now that lie is a
candidate for Congress, must be taken in a
political sense, and not as referring to his
private character.
As a politician Mr. Bigler, in our opinion,
has been very inconsistent and vacilating.
In 1847-S he wasinfarnr of excluding slave
ry from our Territories, and in 1 S57 he re
pudiated his "first impressions." Again,
in 1857, he was in favor of leaving the peo
ple of Kansas perfectly free to select all
their domestic institutions ; yet.later in that
same year, he assumed to be the mouth
piece of Buchanan in the Senate of the U
ted States, and advocated the admission of
Kansas into the Union under the iufamous
Lecouipton Constitution, which was attempt
ed to be forced upon the people of that
State by the Missouri Border-ruffians. And
asain, at the outbreak of hostilities between
the North and South, he professed to bs in
favor of a vigorous prosecution of the war ;
but now, when our brave and gallant troops
are about to deal the death-blow to the re
bellion, be refuses to contribute a man or
far thin g to prosecute the war.
Such is the record of Mr. Bigler as a pol
itician ; and, as the illustrations which we
have given invariably tend to place him on
the side of the Southern fire-eaters, it is but
fair to presume that, should he lie elected
to Congress, he would array himself in op
position to a vigorous prosecution of the
war, and in favor of such measures as, we
believe, would prove detrimental to the best
interest of the whole Union. But as to Mr.
Bigler being elected, we have no fears. Two
years ago Mr. Scofield was elected by a ma
jority of 492, and last year the district gave
Gov. Curt in a majority of 2.S4). Thus it
will be seen that'the 19th Congressional
district is overwelmingly Union, ami that
Judge Scofield will, beyond doubt, be re
elected by a very largely increased majority.
And, we have little doubt, that the Union
men of this district will gratefully embrace
the opportunity afforded them to express
their disapprobation of Mr. Bigler' s course
in sustaining the infamous Buchanan poli
cy, which resulted in the present armed re
bellion against the National Government.
The Chicago Platform Approved by McClel
lan Previous to its Adoption.
Since the appearance of MeCleilan's ex
traordinary letter of accept aoce, the New
York At-ic indignant at the tone of that
document, lias made the following surpris
ing statement :
"Those planks of the Chicago platform
relating to peace were by common content,
agreed upon more than two mouths before
the Convention met. Karlv in the month
of July last we have it upon the authority
of a delegate from Indiana, who was select
ed by the delegation from his IState to actus
one of the committee to inform the candi
dates of the action of the Convention th
platform, with its peace planks, almost word
for word as adopted, teas presented t Oen
eraf JlcCtelf'in, and trash' him approved,
both in its h tter and in its ppirit."
We challenge the attention of men of all
political predilections to this remarkable de
velopement. It wears the aspect of truth,
and is in accordance with probabilities.
For after the adjournment of the conven
tion, newspaper statements came back to us
from Richmond, London and Canada which
showed that the platform had really been
framed sometime previous, and its features
made known to the leading parties interes
ted in it. Nothiag cau reveal more clear
ly the hollow ness and duplicity of all Me
Ckllan's declarations than the tone of his
loiter of acceptance, when contrasted with
the platform which the Xrtcs says he had
deliberately read and approved before it was
adopted tit Chicago.
To the Soldiers and their Friends.
Remember! that William Bigler, in his
speech, in this place on August loth, said
that "(C icould not contribute one man, nor
one farthing, to prosecute the tear' that is
leing wageil to establish the authority of
the Union over the rebellious States thus
virtually declaring his opposition to the
draft, and that he would resist it, as well as
the collection of taxes.
Remember! that William Bigler, the
"Peace-at-any-prica" party candidate for
Congress in this district, was a delegate to
the Chicago Convention, which declared the
war for the Union a i failure,".
Remember! that Wm. Bigler, in sus
taining the Chicago platform, is in favor of
immediate efforts for a cessation of Jiostllitas
between the Union armies and the rebels
which would result in a certain dissolution
of the American Union.
Remember! that Wm. Bigler, and his
party friends in this couuty, used every ef
fort to defeat the Constitutional amendment
extending the right of suffrage to our brave
Union soldiers.
Remember! that Clearfield Borough.the
home of Wm. Bigler, on a strict party vote
gave a majority of 3S, (and tl e county 7S5)
against the amendment permitting our sol
diers in the army to vote.
Since the price of coal and wood have

LETTEE FEOM S. B. EOW.
Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. 17, 1S64.
Editor of the Journal: On my- re
turn to. the city to-day, a friend directed my
attention to the following paragraph in the
Clearfield Republican of the 7th instant :
"Suppose youtrit it on'. -That's what you get
for your G d d d peace meeting.1 Bigler
aad Wallace ought to be hung for making such
speeches." - - 1
"Such was the substance, if not the iden
tical words used in a remark made on our
streets on Monday last, by one of Lincoln's
hirelings, when speaking of the reported
collision letween the Provost Marshals and
their assistants, and certain alleged desert
ers and their friends in Knox township. If
that fellow will take a friends advice, he
will make himself as scarce as possible in
this region. He had letter consider that
some mail depredation demands his imme
diate attention elsewhere. Men of his class
and calibre, should take warning before it is
too late, and understand that Democrats
have endured as much of such language
as they intend to." Clearfield Republican,
Spt. 7 ISM.
The allusion to "mails" removes all doubt
as to who is meant by "one of Lincoln's
hirelings." My reply to the allegation con
tained in the article is that it is false in ev
ery particular in '"words" as well as in
"substance." When the Knox -township
rumor was repeated in my hearing, (not in
the "street,") I said I did not credit it
that I would deeply regret if any such af
fair had occurred that if however it should
turn out to be true, I would not so much
blame the poor fellows who were in the
trouble, as I would Mr. Bigler and other
prominent men of his party, who, by taking
the lead at "peace meetings," had encour
aged them to that extent in undertaking
such lawless acts. For it is a fact, which
cannot be denied without transcending the
bounds of truth, that many of their follow
ers who attended the "peace meeting" in
Clearfield Borough, went there impressed
with the notion, whether correctly or erro
neously is not material at present, that steps
towards a resistance of the draft were to be
taken on that occasion. And it was to this
state of feeling, thus engendered,, that my
"words" were made to apply, when utter
ed, no hint even being thrown out -that
"Bigler and Wallace ought to be hung for
making such speeches."
The stupid creature who distorted my re
mark into the profane one given by the Re
publican, is an object more of pity than of
censure; but when an editor, who lays
claim to extraordinary mental "calibre,"
permits his emy and malice to get so much
the better of his judgment as to lead him to
vouch for its accuracy, by publishing it in
his paper, he must not think it harsh to
have his statement pronounced a lie from
beginning to end. And as to the "warn
ing" of Daniel, which will hardly be regar
ded as prophetic, 1 have only to sa3- that I
will make myself "scarce" whenoverit suits
my own convenience aud at no other time:
and that "Democrats" of his ilk will have
to "endure" what I may have to say of
their publie acts, w hether they "intend to"
or not. 1 u this particular I will be as persis
tent an advocate of "the freedom of speech"
as Daniel could possibly wih. aud will most
certainly exercisethat "freedom,' his threats
to the contrary notwithstanding.
Yours, &c: S. B. Row.
THAT C0MPE0MISE.
Copperhead pajtrs still talk of the Crit
tendtm compromise and of its defeat as the
cause of the war. We deny that the defeat
of any party at the polls justifiesa revolution;
but it is well to inquire who defeated the
Crittenden compromise. Here is Hon. John
J. CiUTTKSPEx'sj despatch to the Raleif h
(N. C.) Register, and dated
"Washington, Jan. 17, lSfd.
"lu reply, the vote against my resolutions
" will be re-contidered. Their failure was
"the result of the refusal of six. Southern
" Senators to rote. There is yet good hope
"of success. John J. Crittenden."
These six Southern Senators were Ben
jamin andSlidell, of Louisiana, Hemphill and
Wigfallof Texas, Iverson of Georgia .and
Johnson of Arkansas, all now malignant,
rebels, except Hemphill who is dead, and he
was at his death a member of the Rebel
Congress.
On January 1. IsCI, the vote rejecting
the resolutions, was re-considered, yeas 27,
nays 24; on the 2ml of March they were ta
ken up and lost by one vote; yeas 1 9, nays
20. If the seceding Senators had remained
in their places, or had voted when in their
places in January, the propositions would
have been passed, and submitted to the peo
ple. The majority of the Republicans in Con
gress were indisposed to change the Con
stitution hurriedly, and hence preferred a
Constitutional Convention, which would have
given time for deliberation, and the people
time for reflect ion. But while objecting to a
sudden wholesale change of the Constitu
tion, they voted to submit to the people an
amendment to secure slavery in the States
from outside interference, and they settled
the slavery question in the Territories thus
removing every cause of dissatisfaction. This
settlement was scouted at by the Secession
ists and their sympathizers. The proposi
tion of the Peace Conference was similarly
denounced, and war was inaugurated. In
all respects, the Government and the peo
pD of the United States were blameless.
Upon the rebels and their sympathizers, rests
the responsibility for the war.
ASSESS THE SOLDIEES.
Every man who has a son, brother, or
friend in the army, should see immediately
that he is assessed and has his taxes paid,
so as to insure him getting his vote. It is
of the utmost importance that this should
be attended to in every township and dis
trict. No time is to be lost. See to it im
mediately. Read the new advertisements.
TEOUBLE IN THEIE CAMP.
"It would seem that Gen. MeClellan, in try
ing vot to do it, "has gone and done it" af
ter all that, instead of pleasing everybody,
he has, by his letter of acceptance, offended
the leading Peace men, and driven them in
to opposition. The New York Doily Xeics
of the 10th takes bold and open ground a
gainst the letter of General McClellax,
aud declares that it cannot find it possible
to support him. It calls for the reassemb
ling of the Chicago Convention in the fol
lowing terms :
"George B. MeClellan was nominated up
on a platform that promises an immediate
cessation of ho.-tilities aud a Convention of
all the Stales. J oe.s he stand upon that plat
form to day? He does not. He has
ce.d the platform in his letter accepting the
nomination. It is as if the bridegroom
should accept the bride's property, but not
her person. A bond like that is null and void.
The peace party will not consent to have
their principal betrayed and then do homage
to the betrayer. They demand all that is
nominated in the bond. General MeClellan
having rejected the proposition for a cessa
tion of hostilities and a Convention of all
the States, declined the Chicago nomination
ami stands before the people self-nominated
on a platform of his own creation. The
Democracy must seek a candidate who will
stand upon the platform, for they cannot
consistently support one who is in collision
with the Convention that tendered him the
nomination. If the platform accords not
with the nominee's convictions cf the right,
a due respect for the opinions of the assem
blage that unanimously adopted it requires
that lie should give back to the Convention
the standard of Democracy. The Democratic
National Convention is not dissolved. It is
ready to convene at the call of its Executive
Committee, and, if General MeClellan can
not abide hy the resolutions through which
the principles cf the party have been enun
ciated, let the Convention reaseu ble, and
either remodel their platform to suit their
nominee, or nominate a candidate that will
suit the platform."
That Fernando Wood, Yali.anpksham,
YoORHEKS, and the leaders cf the large
Peace party in the West will imitate this
act of secession, cannot be reasonably
doubted. Preceedingand following the dis
claimer of the Daily A' ws, the Metropolitan
Record, and the Freeman'1 ,onrnal, organs
of the Irish Catholic sentiment in New
York, have declared roundiy against Gen.
McClellax's usurpation. Mr. Mi'I.laly,
editor of the Reconl, says:
"General MeClellan says: !I am happy to
know that when the nomination was made
the record of my public life was kept in
view;' but he certainly cannot be ignorant
of the fact that the record' of bi.s 'public
life' was the great obstacle to his nomina
tion in the minus of the Peace Democracy,
and that it was only upon the assurance that
he was in favor of the immediate cessation
of hostilities that they withdrew their objec
tions to him as a candidate. It was their
wish that his 'record' should be kept out of
view, and they believed that he himself was
not desirous of giving it a more extended
publicity than it had already obtained; but
they never supposed that he would refer to
it as a matter of pride or satisfaction. Are
we to understand by this ill-timed reference
to his 'record' that he regards his arrest of
the Maryland Legislature as a justifieable
act, and that if elected he will continue the
system of arbitrary arrests inaugurated by
Abraham Lincoln, and so willingly carried
into execution by himself? This "record' tells
us he is an enemy of haln as corpus, and it
also informs us in regard to another very un
pleasant fact particularly unpleasant to the
industrial classes that he was the first to
urge aud press upon the President that most
despotic of all despotic measures of the pres
ent Administration the odious conscription.
As he intimates his intention to carry on the
war, the public should understand what that
means; that it means renewed conscription;
that men shall be forced, by the strong arm
of military ower, from their homes to wage
a war of subjugation against a people who
claim the right which we ourselves should
be the last to resign the right of self-government."
HOW THEY SHOW THEIE SYMPATHY.
As if to show their sympathy with Sla
very, and the Slave Trade, the Copperheads
at Chicago, denounced the Administration
for its violation of what they call "the right
of asylum." This is the fourth resolution of
their platform.
The facts are these . A man named Au
OUELLKS, an officer ot the Spanish army in
Cuba, and Lieutenant Governor of the dis
trict of Colon, captured a cargo of African
Slaves about being imported into Cuba. He
subsequently reported to the Spanish Gov
ernment that 141 of these negroes had died
of small pox, when iii fact they had not
died, and he sold them into Slavery, and di
vided the proceeds with accomplices. He
theufied to the United States. 1 The Span
ish Government asked President Lincoln
to have him arrested, and handed -over to
their authorities that he might be taken to
Cuba and tried for his offence. This was
done. 'Arolf.LLES arrived at Havana last
May, and at once the Captain General of
Cuba wrote to the Spanish Minister at
Washington that through the return of Ai
guelles, "a large number of human beings
will obtain their Freedom, whom his deser
tion would have reduced to Slavery, and
that his presence alone iu this island (of Cu
ba) a very few hours has given liberty to
eighty-six. ' '
This is the offence complained of. Argc
ELLESJ, a man-stealer, a thief, a perjured
and corrupt official, who used his office to
make money by enslaving human beings
who came into his hands, should have been
protected here, screened from trial, and al
lowed to enjoy his ill-gotten gains. So says
the Chicago Convention ! How deeply deba
sed must be the men and party who can for
mally endorse such infernal villany, and cen
sure those who tried to bring the guilty to
legal account for their acts!
DISSOLUTION OF PARTNERSHIP.
The partnership heretofore existing between
Chas R Riee of Lock Haven, and P. (. Blanch
ard of Union tp.. Clearfield county. Pa. in the
lumbering business, kn jwn as the firm of Blanoh
ard & Rice, has been this day (Aug. 27th, 1864)
dissolved by mutual consent. The books of the
firm have been left in the hands of P G. Blanch
ard for settlement. P. G. BLAXCHAR1).
Sept. 7th. 1861. CHARLES R. RICE.
The Copperhead Candidate for Vice Fres
ideat. The first t elegram we had from Chicago
announced that Mr. Powell of Kentucky
was nominated for Yice-Piidcnt, but this
pioved to be mistaken, i o WELL was the
third highest on the first bail it; but on the
second GEO. II. Pfxdleton, of Ohio, was
nominated.' He is of the same stripe with
Powell, and owes his nomination chiefly
to the fact that Powell could not get the
concentrated vote of Kentucky, and Pex
dletox was Powell's: second choice Mr.
Pendleton is worthy of Powell's prefer
ence. Both are original SocesHonists, and
the record of the two is about as much alike
as two peas. Both have been in Congress
lor several years, Mr. Pexdi.etox's term
running back to Dec. 1S57, Mr. Powell's
to Dec. 1859.' Since, they inve been on
terms of intimate fellowship, and their opin
ions aie without material d.ffirenco. Like
Powell, Pendleton has voted for nothing
which looked like defending the Union from
the assaults of armed Reikis. He has voted
against ali measures which had for their ol
ject the strengthening of the Government in
the contest with its enemies, and has stead
ily devoted himself to the propagation of
the ideas with which Jeff. Davis desires
that our people shall be deluded to their de
struction. Mr. Pendleton has been uniformly the
friend of Traitors; and has manifested this
by both acts arid words. When Mr. Bccil
anax, in ls'61, insisted that the Govern
ment should collect the revenue off Chailes
ton harbor, and nominated Mr. McI.NTYRE,
of York as Collector, Mr. Pendleton dis
sented from this policy, and put his dissent
on record in a speech. If Mr. Bt'CHAXAN
was right, Mr. Pendleton was wron.'.
We believe that Mr. Pendleton was the
only Northern hum who opposed Mr. Buch
anan's policy in this respect.
In his speech iu the House of Represen
tatives, Jan. IS, 1804, (to be found in the
Appendix to tho Congressional Globe. 2nd
session, Moth Congress, page 70-72) Mr.
Pendleton opposed, at length, a bill fur
ther to provide for the collection of duties
on imports being substantially the same
bill which under like circumstances was pas
sed iu General Jackson's time. He insisted
that the Government had no right to enforce
its laws in the seceeucd States, but urged
Congress ta pass certain laws which, he
thought would settle the discontents. He
then added :
"If you will not ; if you find conciliation
impossible ; if your differences are so great
that you cannot or will not reconcile them,
then. Gentlemen, I t the seceding States
'"depart iii peart ; let them tstablish titeir
' Cover n meat and empire, and n'urlc out
"'the Jestiny acenrding to the tiisdom tchich
" Cod has (li eu theni."
March 2nd. ISol, a motion to suspend
the rules and take up this bill was negativ
ed, (two-thirds being required, ) yeas lo.'5.

02 nays. Branch, Burnett, He Jarnetce.
Edmundsou. Garnet-t, Siinnis, Wright of
Tennessee, and other.-, now iu the Rebel
army or the Rebel Congress, voted with
him.
This record is the tl e key to his whole
subseque n t course. 1 1 e was for ao u iesci n g in
Secession ; for consenting to Disunion ; for
allowing any dissatisfied Statu or States, at
will, to leave the Union !
Ilo.k' long would the Government have
bung together with such a principle admit
ted? Twelve days before this speech was deliv
ered, Mayor Wood rtcomiiieiidc 1 that New
York City should secede and declare herself
a Free City.
Two days before, the Democrats of Phila
delphia passed resolutions threatening the
secession of Pennsylvania Irtun the Union.
Ail over the West, other had Lien were iu
trimiiug to the same end.
At that moment, an intrigue was jroing on
to form a Paeitic Republic out of California
and Oregon, and so alarmingly that the Gov
ernment was obliged to send Geneia! Sum
ner secretly to California to take the com
mand from Albert Sidney John-on, which
he accomplished, thus stopping Revolution
on that coast.
To all these, Mr. Pendleton virtually
said, proc?ed with your schemes, pass ordi
nances of Secession, the government shall
not interfere ; establish your empire, and
conduct it as you may have wisdom so
to do !
Such is the record of the gentlemen whom
patriotic Americans are asked to make the
Vice-President of the Nation a man who
believes we are no Nation, but a mere aggre
gate of State corporations, each one of
which has the right to leave us at pleasure,
and we no right of self-preservation ; and
who has not said a ord. or done a deed to
prove his detestation of the Rebellion, or
disaproval of the wickedness in which it
originated, or his sympathy with the people
in their noble resolves and sufferings to pre
serve their National Unity and Power, as
well for the safety of themselves as the se
curity of their children and the prosperity
of generations yet to come. A kind Provi
dence will save the United States of Ameri
ca from the calamity of his success. Gettys

TJ. S. 7-50 LOAN.
The Secretary of the Treasury givas notice that
f ulscription! will be received fir Cnupon Treai:
y Xotr. payable in tliroe years from Auguit li.
1S'"i, with semi-anuual interest at the rate of sev
en and three tenths per cent, per annum princi
pal and interest both tj be paid in lawful tnonej.
These notes will be convertibU at the option tf
the holaler at maturity, iiito six percent, gold
bearing bondi. poyablc not less than five nor mote
than twenty years from their date, aa the Govern
ment may elect. They will be issued in denomi
nations of -i0, SI00. S5U0. Sl.ttOO and S5.0i.-0, mlJ
subscriptions must be for fifty dollars or sorue
multiple of fifty dollars.
The notes will be transmitted to the owners
free of transportatio n charges as sown afier tbe
receipt of the original certificates ol deposit as
they can be prepared
As the notes draw intertt from August I.':r.,
persons miking deposits subsequent to that di
must paj the interest accrued from data cf lion
to date of depesit.
1'artics depositing l.eM-Q.e tlu ip n I dol ai

Department upon a r.jrcipt for the .nuoii. i, o. Mi

made. Xo deduction for com mi a ions n Li
made from the deposits.
Special advantage' of this Lo.ui.
It is a Xationa! S.viii'n I:n.k. oricring a high
er rate of inten-st Gum any oih-f. -mil tun pt-r
secl'Ritv. Any iji-. ings b.M.k ivbit-.b pss its de
positors in C S .Votes, considers itial it i'pstiujf
in the best eireu'ating medium of the tuucttj,
and it cannot pay in anything better, for in un
assets are either government secu rities or in &!
or bonds payable infgovemmgnt paper.
It is equally convenient as a temporary tr per
manent investment. The tioles can always b
sold for withiu a fraction of their tace and a-ru-mulated
interest, and are the best security with
banks ajj collaterals for discount.
Convertible into Six ji-:-r cent. '-'!')
Goi.ii Bni. Iu addition t" tho very liberal in
terest on tho notes for three years, ttji privi! "
of conversion is now worth about three per ceLt.
per annum, for the current rate for 5-2'i Bonds is
not less than sink per cent. ikkmicm. and beforn
the war the premium on six per cent. I" S. stocks
was over"t weuty percent. It will be seen that
the actual profit on this loan, at the present mar
ket rate, is not less than ten per cent, per aiicum.
Its exemption from State and Muni
cipal. Taxation. But aside from a'l the advanta
ges we have enumerated, & special Act of Con
gress E xemfts ali. bonds and Treiisury notes from
local taxation. On the average, this exemption
is worth about two per cent, per annum, accord
ing to the rate of taxation in various parts of
the country.
It is believed that no securities offer so great
inducements to lenders as those icsued by the gov
ernment. In all other.forms of indebtedness. th
faith or ability of private parties, or stock compa
nies, or scperate communities, only, is p!eJg?i
for payment, while the whole property of ths
country is held to secure the discharge of all th
obligations of the United State
While the government offers the xajt liWal
terms for its Loans, it -believes thAt the tety
etrongest appeal will be to the loyalty aud patri
otism of the people.
Duplicate certificates will be issued forM 'lr
posits. The party depositing must endorse uptui
the ORic.iSALcertificate tho denomination of note
required, and whether they are to be i-uel m
blank or payable to order. When so endorse! it
must bo left with the ofilcer receiving the depo'U
to be forwarded to tha Treasury Department
Subscriptions will be received by the Troajurer
of the United State, at Washington; the severs!
