Physician and Surgeon to Secretary Chase's Appeal to the People Citizens.of the Your compelled by a guilty conspiracy less insurrection is engaged in war for the security of the supremacy of law for the union and for the maintainance of popular institutions For means to defray the necessary expenses of this war your congress has directed an appeal be made to you by opening a subscription to a national loan of one dred and fifty millions of dollars and patriotic capitalists of the great of New York Boston and Philadelphia have both of duty und interest by the subscription of fifty lions of dollars The act of congress under which this subscription was received wisely provides however that the advantages well as the patriotic satisfaction of participation in this loan shall be offered tiot to the capitalists of the cities but to the people of tho whole country In order to a substantial reward for their public spirit to those whose prompts them in this hour of trial to place their means disposal of tho government congress has directed that an interest of seven arid per cent- um be on the several amounts sub- an interest not liable to state ation hut constituting for the subscribers a revenue not only certain in receipt but greater in amount than can ho expected from any ordinary investment And in order to afford to all citizens i 1 pie of the whole country to recognize all i their constitutional rights and to allow their full in the beneSts of the j common government and renew that to the Union which in an evil hour they have been tempted to throw off? Will they not that the war into which the Government of the Union hus been constrained is not a war for their j subjugation but a war for national ence and that an auspicious result to the Union will benefit as largely the states in insurrection as the states which have re- mained loyal However this may be the duty of the national government as the ly constituted agent of the of ho question The war made ry by insurrection and reluctantly ed by tho government must be prosecuted with all possible vigor until the tion of the just authority of the Union shall insure permanent peace The same good Providence which con- ducted our fathers through the difficulties and dangers which beset the formation of the Union has graciously strengthened our hands for the work of its preservation The crops of
