with the Presidents yiews, but expressed ap
prehension that it was now too late to make
changes. Grants endorsement on reterring

lucxiuvemoer elections should end in iteDUb-
ucaa aeieats, tbe threat Andrew Johnson
on the 22d of FebruarrJl866. and freauentlv
repeated since, wiU be fulfilled at whatever
nazara. Enabled from our opportunities at
the national capital, and from our extensive
correspondence with our ax?ents and friends in
the. Southern States, to weigh the sincerity of
inese inreats, we declare to you, pur country
men, that nothing more is required by these
violent, revolutionary, and desperate men but
the belief that they are sustained by the
public opinion of the conquering States to
adventure another conspiracy, and to de
mand, if necessary by force, their restoration
to thepower they 1 wielded at so terrible a
cost to the public peace. What patriot will
not shrink from contributing to such a catas
trophe ? that the; : American people are'
equal to any new trial, however terrible
that the apostate appeal to force, though
backed by the whole rebel army, would end
in Ms own overthrow, and their perpetual
disfranchisement, may be confidently antici
pated ; but -when, by the cordial and united
performance'of a plain and peaceful duty at
the ballot - owt-to-November. yon can avoid
further bloodshed, assist the great work of
reconstruction, and j perpetuate Republican
ascenaency, lew words ot ours should be re
quired to arouse - you to an instant appre
hension of your country's peril and vour
own solemn obligations. .When we secure
everything by an intelligent and discrimi
nating exercise of i the ballot; why shall
we encourage the men who possess the con
fidence of no party, and have a thousand
times 'confessed that they deserved the
severest, punishment for their crimes?
There is not one commanding interest that
is not deeply concerned in the triumph of
the Republican' party in the coming elec
tions. Every owner of public securities,
national or state ; every railroad corporation,
every bank, every savings institution, every
luauuiaeiurer, every mecnamc ana laDorer
with a greenback in his pocket wonld in-
stantly feel the defeat of that party in. the
depreciation of their property, and fin the
decline of their business. Bear in mind that
all who are interested in the defeat of recon"
Republican party are
the overthrow of the
national credit , The recent speech of JessO
D. Bright is a startling proof of their malig
nant and dangerous purposes. That daring
sympathizer, as if to confirm the justice of
his expulsion for treason from the Senate, in
lobl. recently declared at a public meeting
in Kentucky,- where he now resides "that
the war was unconstitutional ; Congress was
an unconstitutional body ; its acts are null
and void ; the national debt is not binding ;
slavery is not abolished ; slaves must be re
turned to their masters : Southern men must
be paid for all losses sustained , during the
war, and they- must be governed by the
principle of State rights." And he closes by
dollar ot taxes to the national Government."
rru 'i "jJ Ly j 1 t-j
xnese are me lueas cnensueu uy leauers
of the combined opposition, which yohr in
difference in the "coming election will or
ganize into a new. and possibly into a tri
umphant rebellion.

Of the Union Republican Congressional
- Executive Committee to the Peo
ple of the States that are to
Vote in November.
Fellow Citizens: The importance
vour action to the cause of our
country, still imperilled by a perfidious Ex
ecutive on the one hand,, and the defianj
spirit of rebellion on the other, impels us to
make this appeal before the . approaching
elections. The members of the' Union Re
publican Congressional Executive Commit -teefhave
been so impressed by the extraor
dinary success which has attended their ef
forts in the unreconstructed States, and by ,
the vital necessity of strengthening these ef
forts by the approving voice of the great
party that contributed so effectually to jthe
overthrow of the rebellion, that they ; cannot
believe the American people are ready l:1to al
low the enemies of the Republic to gather
new courage in their opposition to the re
storation of the Union on the basis of equal
ity and justice. Since our circular letter of
the 20th of July last, in which we laid be-
up
