TREASURY DEPARTMENT, July 2Ah, 1861. By an act of Congress approved June 30th 1864, the Secretary of the Treasury is au. thorized to issue an am unit not exceeding two hundred tnidons of dollars in Treasury notes, bearing interest at a rat n>t exceed, ing seven and three tenths p-r Centura, re. dtemable after three years from date, and to exchan e the same for lawful money. The Secretary is further authorized to convert tho soot* into bonds, bearing interest at a rate not exceeding six percentum. payable in com. Inpursuance of the authority thus conferred, I now offer to the people of no United States T'ea: r 1 equal enc-v r n ni -nt an 1 security. Time, while proving mat the nation il unity was to exceed tn duration an I seventy our worst anticipations,has te-tel the niti mil st length and developed the national resources, to an extent alike unexpected and remarkable, ex citing equal astonishment at home and abroad Three years of war bave hardenetl you with debt which, but three years since, would have seemed beyond your ability to meet.— Yet the accumulated wealth and productive energies of the nation hive proved to be so vast that it has been borne witli comparative ease, and a peaceful future would hardly fea 1 its weight. As a prica paid for national existence, and the preservation of free instt tutions, it does not deserve a moment consideration. Thus far the war has been supported carried on, as it only could have been, by a people res dved at whatever cost of blood and trcasutejo transmit, unimpaired, to pos terity, the system of free government be que. atlied to them bv the great men wh<> framed it. This deliberate and pitriotic resolve has developed a power surprising even to them by the great men who framed it. This deliberate and patriotic resolve has developed a power surprising even to themselves. It has shown that in less ll an a century ana lion lias arisen, unsurpassed in vig >r, and ex haustiess in resources, able to conduct, through a series of years, war on its m >re gi gantic scale and findinz itself, when near it. c'ose. almost unimpaired in all the material elements of power. It has, at the present moment, great armies; in the facing ~n enemy apparently approaching a period of ut . tor exhaustion, but still struggling with a force the greater and more desperate as it sees, and because it sees, the near approach of a final and fatal consummation. Such, in my deliberate judgment, in the prosent con. dition af the great for civil liberty in Thick you arc now engaged. "TO SPEAK HIS THOUGHTS IS EVERY FREEMAN'S RIGHT. "—Thomas Jefferson. TUNKHANNOCK, PA., WEDNESDAY, AUG'T 24, 1864. Up to the present moment you have readi ly and cheerfully afforded the means necessa ry to support your government in this pro tracled struggle. It is your war. You pro claimed it atid you have sustained it arrainst traitors evei ywhere,with r. patriotic devotion unsurpassed ID the world's history. The securities offered are such as should command your ready confidence Much ef fort has been made to shake public taith in our nations' credit, both at'home and abroad As \c-t ve have asked n > foreign aid. Calm and self reliant, our own means have thus far proved adequate to our (wants. They ate yet ample to meet those ot the present and the future. It still remains for a patriotic peo pie to furnish the needful supply, The brave tnen who are fighting our bttiles by land and sea must be fed and elothed, munitions <>i war of all kinds must be furnished, or the war must end in de.eat and disgrace. This is not the time for any lover of his countr* to ei quire as to the state of the money m ket, or u-k whether he can so invest his sur plus capital as yield him a larger return No return, and no or ti , can be desirable, II followed by national dso ution, or nationa disgrace. Present pr fit, thus acquired, : s Oil the |irecurs .r o; fu'iire destruction. N investm lit can be so pr. frabie as that which lend-" to insnr- she i.s" >r-*l extster lam encouraged in l. oebef thai bv th recent legislation of Congress our finances may soon he placed up >n a sounder and more stable f lotmg. I'he present deranged condition of t'.w currency is imputable, in a zrcat degree, to disturbances arising from •fie withdrawal of lieces ary checks, ofi en inevitable in time of war, wiien expenditures must largely exceed any possible supply of c iri. The opportunities tnus presented to acquire sudden wealth Lave led to vicious speculation, a consequent increase in prio-s, and violent fluctuation. The remedy is to be found only in controlling tue necessity which begets the evil. Hitherto we have felt e need of 'note extensive and vigorous taxation, S -vere c nnuimt has been mile upon what seemel t > many an undue timid ity and lardiness of ac ion, on the part c: Congress in this re gar 1. I deem it but just t) say that very great misapprehension has existed, and p ruaps still exists, upon this point. Legislators, li'"* all others, have much to learn in a new condition of affairs An entirely new system was to he devised, and that system must necessarily be the growth of time and experience. It is not strange tha' first efforts should have proved i unperf, and inadequate. To lay heavy burdens op a great and patriotic people in mic!l a manner as to bo equal, and as to oc casi m the Das' ni met of s iff-ring or an noyance, revuiros time at it ion, and vast Übor; and, with all these, experience is needful to test the value of the system, and c irreel its orrors. Such has been the work which Congress wis cillel uoon to perform. I atn 4 happy to say that daily results are ploving the Internal Revenue Act to exceed in efficiency the most sanguine expectations of its authors. In the month of June, 1803, it yielded about, four anil one half millions ol dollars, while the corresponding month of this year returned about fifteen millions, under the sim.* law [J t ler rh- new law which went into operation, on the first day of the present month, the Treasury not un frequently receives one million in a day.— As tune and experience enable the officers employed tn collecting the revenue to enforce the stringent provisions of the new law, I trust tha" a million per day will be found the rule and riot the exception. Still, much space is undoubte lly left for improvement in the law and in its administration, as a greater amount of necessary information t acquiri-d. The proper sources of revenue, and tfie most effecive modes of obtaining it, are best developed in the ex -cation of exist ing laws. And I have caused measures to be initiated which will, it is believed, enable Congress so to improve an 1 enlarge the sys tern as, when tasen in connection with the revenue from customs, an 1 >xher s urces, to afford an ample and secure basis for tin* na ttonal credit Or' oil such a basis, and tn a steady and vigorous rostrum upon curren cy, can a remedy be fun I f>r ex'sting evils. Such restraint can only be ex rcned when the government is furnished wuh means t > provide for its necessities. But without the aid >1 a pair iottc people, any gove-nmen is p.>werles>, for this or a>y other dc- table end. Tho denomination of thu notes proposed to be issued, raging from fifty to five thousand dollars, place these securities within the reach of ail who are disposed to aid their country. For their redemption the faith and honor and property of that country are solemnly pledg'd. A successful issue to (his contest, now believed to be near at hand wiil largely eochance their value to the hold er: and peate once restored, all burdens cm be lightly borne. He who selfishly with holds his aid in the hope of turning his avail able means to greater immediate prifit, is speculating up in his c entry's misfortunes, and may find that what seems to be present gain leads only to futu'e loss. I appeal therefore, with confidence to a loyal and pa •riotic people, and inv ik 3 the efforts of all who love their country, and desire for it a gloriou* future, to aid their government in sustaining its credit, and placing that credit upon a stable foundation. W. V. FESSENDEN, LINCOLN CATECHISM. Do the loyal leaguers believo in the Ten Commandments ? They do. What are tho Ten Commandments ? Thou shalt have no other God but the m negro. ( Thou shalt make an lmcge of a negro, and plaoe it on the Capitol as a type of the new American man. Thou shall swear that the negro shall be the eroal of the white man. Thou shalt fight thy battles on the Sa - ha th day, aiid thy generals, and thy captain* and thy privates, and thy servants, shall do all manner of an d thefts as on the other six da\ s. Thy shalt not honor r.ur obey thy father nor thy mother if they are C"p;erheads ; but thou shalt serve, Uo 'or and obey Abra ham Lincoln. Ttiyu ©halt commit murder—of slave hold ers. Thou mayest commit adultery—witu the contrabands. Thou shall steal—everything that belongs to a sDvenoldei. The-* halt false witness—agiinst s!l ' slaveholders. Thou shall covet the slaveholder's man- j servant, a,d his tna'd-servant, and shall steal his ox and his ass, and everything tlat belongt th to him. From these commandments hang all the and the honor of loyal leaguers. Do loyal leaguers believe the teachings o the gospe! ? They do. What does the gospel teach ? That we shall resist evil, and that we shall overcome evil with evil. What does the gospel say of peacemak ers ? That they shall be accursed. Whose children are the peaco makers ? 'a .e children of the devii. Do loyal leaguers believe in the Sermon on the Mount? , Thev Repeat the Serm >n on the Mount. Blessed are th" proud and the contractors for theirs is the kingdom of greenbacks. Blessei are they that do not mourn for them that are murdered in the abolition war, 1 for they shall be comforted with office. t Blessed are the haugh'y, for they shall inherit shinplasters. Blessed are they that do hunger and thirst af'cr the blood of the slaveholders, for they shall be filled. Blessed are the unmerciful, for they shall : obtain command. Blessed are the vile in heart, for they snail be "tipointed judges. Whosoever not smite thee on one cheek, smite him on b >th. And if he turn away from thee turn and hit him again. If thou findest a chance to steal a slave holder' s coat, steal his cloak also. Give to a Degro that asketh not, but from the f.oor white rorn turn thou away. Be ye iherefo re unkind, spiteful and re vengeful, even as your father tho devil is the same' Take heed that you give alms in public to the negr e. otherwise ye have no reward of your lather Abraham, who is in Washing ton . _ Therefore when thou givesl thine alms to a negro, do thou send a trumpet before thee, as the ministers and hypocrites do in the churches and in the streets, that they may have glory of the contrabands. And w .en thou doest alms let each hand know whit the other hand doeth, that thine alin* may not be secret ; and ihy father the devil, who established the leagues, shall re ward thee openly. Do not forgive men their tresspasses, for if you do God will not forgive your trerpass es: Moreover- when you pretend to fast, fast not at all, but eat turkies, ducks, and espe ally roosters, that ye may crow over the Oopperhesds, and stuff yourselves with what soever ashinplaster buyeth. Lay up fo* yourself treasures in green backs, and five twenties, and whatever else you may steel fro u the Treasury. Every man can serve to masters, the devil and tho Abolitionists. Take no thought to get raiment by hon est toil, but. go down South and steal it onsider the vultures and the hawk®, how they toil not neither do they sow, and yet no creature was ever stuffed out with so much fattess, except a contraband that feedeth at the public crib. Judge another without judge or jury but destroy the laws, so that your own measure shall not be measured UDto you again. If thou hast a beam in thine eye, shut thine eye so thai it cannot be seen, and go to piecing out the moto that is in the Cop perhead's eye. If a poor white man ask bread, give him a stone, it 1 9 ask a fish, give him an alliga tor. Therefore, whatsoever ye would that th slaveholder should not do unto you, doit even unto him ; for this is the law of the loy al leaguers. Wboie IJorac-: Greeley?
