I in thf outrageous dcnoagogism of Mayor
U’.i .1, in his late electioneering Message to the

I The memory of the Astor Place riots, some 12

terrible effect, has kept the peace in New

t!i >amc‘ scene will soon asrain be re-enacted to a

Pfip general impression seems to be that these i

“We are informed that the messages of the

r 'h'mid circuiiwtunces render it necessary.
nclo Sam's" firces will therefore be ready to

lit acts towards L’^ncle Sam’s property."
I'iio'CRiBiNO B.\ltimore.—They used to say
tliar the single Whig who rejoiced in a reiiiilence
at H 'liey Shelter, New Hanover County, N C ,
wi- n- v T allowed to vote, the Judges at that
r -U)i t having failed to discover any clause in
[{'■vi', .i Statutes permitting a W.hig to vote.
Tt.> l>-rnocracy of the Union seem disposed to
a ; 'pt the same rule of action with regard to Bal-
?:uj ire. The people of that City and of the State
? Maryland presumed to diflFer in their views of
pi .ic p'llicy from the other Southern States at
la>t Presidential election, and by way of
■ wing them that in this free oouatry they have
right to differ from the majority, the Demo-
'■ritic press commenced a war upon Baltimore to
t r- ak li'iwn its character and destroy its business.
I5i.tiir.are. however, has continued to prosper, and
'['[ -.iiMn to Democracy has prospered also. It
• ' finw cnrilly proposed by the Democracy to re-
^i-e its Representatives their seats in Congress!
ati 1 the Washington States, which says that such
all ,1ft will “worthily commence the session of a
I' tii .crutic Congress," also says that there is
'‘arcely a doubt that the Baltimore Congressmen
''■•1 be «-jected.
The plea for this high-handed act is that the
I'i.rimnre Know Nothing.s are riotously inclined.
1 li' re is much .more rioting in Baltimore than
fill re should be, it is true But the Democrats
''ivc quite as much to do with it as the Know
N 'hingsj and at the late election, but for the
Mayor’s activity, would have created great dis-
’urhaticos with the aid of their friends imported
t. itn ^S asliin^ton City for the purpose. Both
partn;s are -‘tarred with the same stick,” else
where as weU in Baltimore. And we see no
reason why Baltimore should be proscribed and
^ ' w \ ork petted, except that they wi/l take who
fiive the power; and that Baltimore with half the
vi i’.-nce gives half as large a majority for Know
N 'thingism as New York does for Democracy.
IIkvival or Religion.—We learn that large
- ! iitions have been made recently to the Preshy-
■ rian ('hurch at (’arthage, Moore county.
' iiiday last, 49 pcrson.s were received into the
iiurch, and tuuch interest is still felt throughout
community.

(’RUKii Parents.—We have shown beyond
contTAdiction that almost every Bank in North
Carolina is the offspring of the democracy—that
that party passed the charters, with just such
provisions a? suited its views of public policy,
with such restrictions against over issues, suspen
sion, oppression of the people, and all other real
or imaginary evils, as the party thoujrht necessary.
They were not. or st least professed not to be, the
trieiids of the bankers, but of the people, in
framing those chart«r.s. Well, one mii;hr rea.son-
ably hope, that those institiitiniis of their own
creation wt're as near perfeetim^ in their eve«, as
the wit of man could make them, and that they
would receive lair play, to say nothing of kind
ness, at the hand.s of their creators. But what do
we see? The democrats not only make the banks,
and become stockholders in thtm, but use them
as much as they can by borrowin-r money from
them whenever they want it and can get if. J}ut
no sooner does a public calamity overtake the
country, and make it expedient for the public
good for the banks to suspend specie payments,
than the whole pack of Locoiocos, “Tray, Blanche
and Sweetheart,” are after them in full cry, and
after those who, having no hand in creating them,
are yet willing to have justice done them, and
unwilling to cry them down because Locofoeoism
when it created them failed to make them perfect
Oiie harps upon their authority to issue two or
three dollars in notes for one of capital, as an
evil. Well, who put it in the charters? The
Loeofoco.s. But that cannot be an evil when the
banks really i.ssuo less than one dollar for every
dollar of capital. If it be wrong to issue less than
dollar for dollar, was it ignorance or corruption
which induced the Locofocos to allow an issue of
three for one? Another complains that if an in
dividual refuses to pay his debts he is broke,
while the banks only suspend, and the public
tolerates this. Well, if an individual refuses to
pay his debts, he can be sued and his property
taken to pay principal and 0 per cent, interesf;
whereas if a bank refuses to pay, it also can be
sued and its property taken to pay principal and
12 per cent, interest. Again: it is complained by
these financial quucks that it is the issue of small
notes that is the great evil. If so, who put the
authority in the charter.s? liut that this is not j
the cause is manifest from the fact that the banks !
of Pennsylvania and many of the Virginia banks j
were the first to suspend, though small notes are |
neither issued nor circulated in those States; whilst ;
New York was among the last to suspend, though
that State is flooded with small notes; and the
Bank of Fayetteville, the only Bank in North ,
Carolina which has in circulation the smallest de- j
nomination of notps, has not suspended at alll
It is said that “corporations have no souN,”
but if there is one of them in North Carolina
which has so small a soul as one of these Loco
foco demagogues, it is to be f .i ed indeed.
AU Gain ami Xo Losa.—The Bank of Cape i
Fear has declared a semi-annual dividend of
per cent., payable on and after the 9th inst. The
Bank of Cape Fear is in a state of suspension, '
and if you present one of its notes, bearing on
its face a promise to pay on demand, you are
coolly told you can’t get the specie—that the pro
mise will not be fulfilled; but if you are a stock
holder you can get a dividend. Such is a bank,
and such its privileges over those of individuals '
The profits are reaped, but the promises bnken. i
Rahiyh Stamhtrd. j
We don’t see where arc the so-called “privileges '
over individuals” A good many individuals, for
instance, owe us, (and the Standard too, we doubt j
not,) both by note and account, who very coolly .
decline to pay either specie, or bank notes, or
produce, or any thing else, yet who do not hesi- j
tate to apply hundreds of dollars for food and j
clothing, and for many less neces.sary articles for ;
their own use. The bank, under such circum- i
stances, is privileged by law to pay 12 per cent. !
interest, whilst the ill-used individual is let off
with 6 per cent, for breaking his promises. In
dividuals certainly make money and spend money
while in a state of suspension, against which the
Standard has no complaint to make. It is only
the banks which must not do such things.
But it is well known that the banks do pay out
considerable specie, notwithstanding the suspen
sion. They do not, we believe, refuse applica
tions for change or indeed for reasonably larger
sums, when r.ecded for legitimate business opera
tions. They have suspended more to protect the
public than themselves,—to keep Northern brok
ers from draining the State of specie. The Legis
lature, by the penalty of 12 per cent, interest,
has legalized suspension, well knowing, from ex
perience, that there are periods when suspension
becomes a necessity.
But if the banks were to decline paying divi
dends, and thus cut off the School Fund, and
stop the Common Schools throu«;hout the State,
should we not hear complaints of that from the
Standard? We suspect so.
Secretary of State.—The Governor and
Council have appointed Rufus W. Page, Esq. to
fill the office of Secretary of State, vacant by the
death of W^m. Hill. Mr. Page is Mr. Hill’s son-
in-law, has long been his assistant, and is thus
familiar with the business of the office.
Cape Fear & Dicep River.—A correspondent
of the Raleigh Standard writes that he recently
learned at Haywood that Mr. Morrell, of New
York, had concluded a contract with the Deep
River Navigation and other Companies for open
ing the river by the 1st Octobcr next, and had
already begun operations.
Democratic Convention.—The Salisbury
Banner proposes that the Democratic St-itP (Con
vention be held in February iiexi. Th.; Standard
•li'sents, and says April. Ot c iurso April will be
the time. Let the faithful b>; re,i(l\ for the con
flict, which we suppo.se will be iiottcr in the Con
vention than out of it.
NOR.MAL Colle.:k.-H,o ];.aigh C!iri.,tiau
Advocate says that th.'noiui.,.. ,f atihi-,
in.stitution in Rand.jpli C-UMty, N. (, exceed
that at any Southern M iiodist College, and h
larger than ever before.
N. C. Sjtocks.—Sales at New York on Satur
day last at 82 J.
Money Matters.—The Baltimore Patriot is
glad to state that confidence is increasing in that
city, and financial affairs generally gain ease.
The Banks are discounting most of the good paper
offered, and capitalists are investing freely. E.t-
changes have largely declined. On New York
exchange is abundant at 3 to 3} per cent.; on
lioston at 2; and on Philadelphia at 1. Gold is
selling at 3 per cent premium. N. C. Bank
note.s at 4^ to 6 per cent, discount
1 ho money market at New Orleans is decidedly
easier, and confi lence is being gradually restored.
At Boston money matters have assUTied a very
cheering aspcct.
1 uesday’s Journal ot Commerce says:
1 lie week opens with an active money market,
at rates in favor ot the borrower where the secu
rity offered is undoubted, but with a farther gen-
*ral movotnent toward.s liquidation in nearly all
branches of trade and conunerce.
Foreign Hxchanre fell off toward the cio.se of
th«^ day, buyers not taking hold freely, but we
cannot expec. a return of low rates until we re
ceive Cotton Bills from the South. Some of the
leading bankers here are determined to send specie,
atid we suppose the agent of the Rothschilds will
ship to the full extent of his sales, having ar-
r.tnged to this t'ffect, with the House in London
and Paris. I’hese shipments wil' be facilitated
by a preconcerted arrangement abroad through
which a preference is to be given in discounting,
to tho.'Je bills sold for the purpose of returning the
gold to Europe. The Persia will probably take
upwards of a million, unless the sales of exchange
here should be suddenly checked.
The Stock market is active and buoyant, a far
ther advance having been realized (»n the leading
railroad securities. State bonds arc also firmer.
There has been at last an actual expansion of
the volume of loans and discount.s; the increa.^c is
small, but the line is actually cro.ssed. The gain
in specie is verj’ largo, much larger than was an
ticipated, but this will now be reduced by return
shipments to Liverpool.
Toe amount of specie in the banks has increas
ed to ? 1(5,492,1 o2.
The Grocers’ Steam Sugar Refining Company
in New York has made a bad failure. Its capital
was ?750,000, which is all supposed to be lost,
and the assets insufficient to pay 8600,000 of
other liabilities.
George A. Clark, Assistant Cashier and Pay-
ing Teller of the \. V. Grocers’ Bank, has ab
sconded, after defrauding the bank of $68,000.
The N V. ludependent^says,—
The sales by importers during the week have
been limited to those at auction. Of the goods
offere l only a portion was.»old, and prices realised
were low, even for choice French goods at a credit
of four months. Few or no orders are being sent
out for the Sftring trade The “extended” in
debtedness to Europe will have to be liquidated
before heavy importations are again made. The
contrast of business between this last October and
that of O'tobcr l'^56, is strikingly shown in the
receipts at custom in each of these years:—
In October, 18.jR, the receipts were $3,549,737 98
Do 18j7, do do only 892,110 -13
.\ iliflercnce of $2,t)57,C27 55
equal to seventy-five per cent.
The domestic commission houses do not appear
to be doing any business of moment. The job
bers continue to sell to a moderate extent, but at
low prices, mostly for ca.sh. There is no doubt
that all staple goods will pay well for keeping
another year, as production is so much reduced,
and the cost of the raw material is not falling.
Large sales can only be effected at prices kelow
cost. When the demand becomes active, some
time hence, there will be found few goods, in com
parison, to supply the market. No large business
is now expccted until the farmers have sent their
crops to market, which will not be till after next
sprint:. With this prospect of trade, the disposi
tion will be to keep on hand small stocks. It will
take another harvest to set all things right.
Grain.—Thirty ships are now loading with
grain and flour at New York for Europe. Each
ship will carry about 20,000 bushels. Such a
wholesale exportation of these two staple articles
is un;recedented.
Forfy-seven vessels, with 600,000 bushels of
wheat, are now afloat from the upper lake ports for
Oswego.
A Protective Tariff.—The Philadelphia
Press, Col. Forney’s paper, (supposed to be the
confidential organ of President Buchanan,) pub
lishes an elaborate and able communication in
favor of a high‘protective tariff, as the remedy of
all others for the ill condition of financial affairs.
This is a sign worth noting. Have the powers
that be found out that they will be driven to the
adoption of a higher tariff at the next session of
Congress? And are Pennsylvania Coal and Iron
so strong in the person of a Pennsylvania Presi
dent, that it is intended to discriminate in favor
of protection to American productions?
Receipts of Cotton—The total receipts are
290,827 bales, against 536,505 bales last year.
Decrease, 245,678 bales.
Receipts of Specie—During the month of
October 87,451,195 in specie was received at New
York, New Orleans and St, Louis. 85,166,901
was for New York. 83,000,000 came from Cali
fornia; the remainder from foreign countries. Less
than half a million was shipped from this country
during the same period.
Duplin County Fair.—A correspondent of
the Wilmington Journal speaks in glowing terms
of the success of the Fair at Kenansville last week,
and of the admirable address of Wm. W. Holden,
Esq. which is to be published.
Hard to Sell.—The Cincinnati Commercial
tells of some bacon which has been seeking a
marke: under difficulties. A large quantity was
shipped from that place to Liverpool last Spring,
remained there all the Summer without findincr a
O
purchaser, was reshipped to New York in hopes
of better luck, found the market flat, and is now
to be sent back to I^iverpool, where the price has
gone up in consequence of the heavy shipments to
New York. A large quantity will go back on the
same steamer which brought it to this country.
The Journal of Commerce tells of 1400 pkgs of
lard which has had the same luck, and was turned
out of store on Monday to make its third voyage
across the water.
What with freight, insurance, wharfage, dray-
age, ratage, postage, and stealage, it is very
doubtful whether the owner “saves his bacon,”
though bait air aud water may be good for it.
Newspaper Credits.—It is not only usual, but
just, that when one paper publishes an article or
item copied from another, it should give credit to
that paper in which such articles originally ap
peared. Sometimes the giving of such credit is
omitted, intentionally or otherwise, though not
often, and never intentionally in cases of any im
portance by papers of any character. Aecidental
omissions will occur however, now and then, and
it is amusing to notice how the thing is taken, i
We remember once, and to do so, no groat men- {
tal effort is required, since the thing i« recent,
running our eye over our exchanges and finding
our.ielves roundly rated for stealing, becausc, by
some inadvertency an article from an exci ange
had got among our selected matter without du-
credit. Well, we kept on and found, before we
had got through, fully half a dozen extracts from
the Jijurnal floating around in the same way. So
we go on, never bothering ourselves as to the
papers that steal from us, any mofe than v^e min«l
tho.se that accuse us of stealing from them.
W7/. Journal.
We are very particular not to convert other
newspapers’ editorials into our own, though we
care very little for the measure of regard to the
laws of meum and tuum as exhibited by others
towards us. It is rather a compliment than other
wise to have one’s articles appear as the editorials
of half a dozen contemporaries, in which capacity
we have occasionally had the pleasure of reading
our own. But we do not like to be credited with
things which do not belong to us; sometimes be
cause the article might be owned with pleasure if
it were really our property, and sometimes because
we should be ashamed of the possession. Of the
former we noted an instance some little time ago,
in which our friend of the Hillsborough Recorder
was robbed to give us credit: of the latter an in
stance in the Salisbury Watchman thi« morning,
in which we are credited with an article headed
“Aftairs in Baltimore,” which we never had the
pleasure of seeing before, and which we are very
sure never had a place in the Observer. Very
certain we are that we never spoke of Gov. Wise
a« “Ebo-shin,” a witticism which we have never
had the acutene.ss to appreciate, often as it has
figured in the Virginia Press; quite as certain that
we did not speak of Wise and Ligon, the govern
ors of Virginia and Maryland, as “asses."
A white man named Jos. Underwood, said to
be a native of Union County, was arrested in
Charlotte on Friday night last, whilst negotiating
with a negro man belonging to David Parks,
Esq., (in Mr. P.’s Kitchen,) to in luce him to
runaway. The negro informed his master of
Underwood’s proposition, and took care that an
officer should be so placed as to overhear the con
versation and thus have a legal witness of the
rascal’s guilt. Underwood was committed to jail.
He says that others were connected with him in
the business.
New York Election.—The Democratic plu
rality in the late election is between 13 and 14,000.
In the State Senate there are 16 Republicans, 13
Democrats, 2 Americans and 1 Independent. In
the House of Delegates, 59 Republicans, 62 Demo
crats and 7 Americans. The Americans boast of
holding the balance of power.
Hon Robert Toombs has been re-elected a
Senator from Georgia. At the last session of
Congre.ss Mr. T. was a democrat.
The Next Congress.—The W’ashington U-
nion gives a complete list of the members of the
next Congress, which vrill meet on the 1st Mon
day of next month. In the Senate there are 35
Deiuocratfl, 25 Opposition (Republicans and A-
mericans,) and 2 vacancies. In the House of
Representatives, 128 Democrats, 92 Republicans,
and 14 Americans.
New York Schools.—The Board of Education
of New York City have appropriated for next year
81,216,013. This amount is 8150,000 larger than
the expenditures this year; and the City papers
grumble not a little that such an increa.se should
be made when the times are so hard, the city
taxes 88,000,000, and a deficiency of 82,000,000
at that. A considerable portion of the increase is
to supply the male schools with pianos!
Bank of W'ilmimjton.—The annual meeting
of the stockholders of the Bank of Wilmington
was held at their banking bou.se yesterday.
The old board of Directors was re-elected, viz:
Jno. McRae, Alfred Martin, J. R. Blossom, J.
L. Hathaway, L. A. Hart, H. P. Russell, Robert
Norfleet.
The question as to whether any dividend would
be declared, and if so how much, was submitted
for the consideration of the stockholders. The
net profits since the last dividend being about six
per cent. Some disposition was shown to have
the whole divided; others favored 5 per cent.,
and the general feeling seemed in favor of 3 per
cent, until the Bank should resume specie pay-
njents. It was resolved to declare a dividend at
the usual time of such amount as the Directors
deemed best.
At the meeting of the Directors, Jno. McRae
was re-elected President; S. Jewett re-elected
Cashier; and W^. L. Smith re elected Teller.

Relic of the Central America.—It is stated that
last week a body was picked up on the Atlantic
beach, a little North of Cape Hatteras, with a belt
around it containing gold dust. No doubt it was
the corpse of one of the passengers of the ill-fated
Central America. Other dead bodies have been
seen floating in the neighborhood.— Wil. Herald.

in a speech the other day: “We are all interested
in free labor The commercial man is interested.
It is that which freights his ships;’’ Ac., &c.
It is very likely that the labor which Mr.

But, as we have once or twice had occasion to

the South furnishes at least two-thirds of the
freight.
To the same effect, the liostou Post publishes

Mormon —Each fr. .^h arrival of intel
ligence from Utah confirni.« tiie reports of pi-j}i:i-
rations by the Mormons t > resi-^t the entrance of
the United States troops into th',-ir To’-ritnry, :::i i
gives consistency to the opinion that wo are on
the eve of a ;>lormon war. The news of the ap
proach of an armed force to coerce tnem int.) ."uij-
mission has not the awe-inspiring eft'ect up'^n the
Mormons which was at first expected. Tln-y are
levying armies of their own; rai.-in;.' infant; v,
equipping cavalry, and organizing for dcspeiate re
sistance to the approach of the Government iroops.
They are building forts, planting garrisons, lay
ing in provisions, anl putting themselves in a
posture of defence. They will not act .n the d.'-
fcHsive. They will take the field, nieot the in
vading army long before it gets within sight of I
their chi.'f city, make attacks upon it from forti
fied strongholds in the mountains, harass its
march, cut off its supplies, and perhaps leave it
destitute of provision and shelter, to p;.rish •A
hunger and cold in midwinter on the desert.
The problem of the ability of one ImTidr. 1
thousand people, inspired by a blind religiouh '
fanaticism, concentrated in a well provisionel city
in the midst of the mountains, eleven hutidr^'d
miles from the base of operations of an invaditig
force, the question of the ability of a people so ..
situated to hold out against such a power as tiie ’
United States is about to be solved. We have
our forebodings as to the result. The Morni'.n'^.
if hard pushed, can rally ten thousand fighting
men. By judicious leagues with the surrouu.iii.g
tribes of Indians they can augment this force to
twelve thousand. Being chiefly an ai'riculliiral
people, without any outlet for their pr . lucts, they
can supply themselves with an abun lance of pro
visions. They can fortify the in-untaiii [la,'.-.
and dispute, step by step, the approach of ati in
vading force; while they can reader their s iv;.^ ■
allies efficient instruments by sending them out
to annoy and harass their enemies.
The body of the trooj>s will not be able to reaeh
Salt Lake City, even if the .Mormons allow them
to march unmolested, bef re the dead of winter
Arriving at such a time, they will be coinpiet ly
at tli^ mercy of their enemies. We have much i
confidence in the officers in charge of this expedi- !
tion, and rely much on the spirit of the troops '
under them; but the officers and troops will
prove themselves worthy of even tu >re conii- ,
dence than we repose in them if they save thuu- ,
selves from utter ruin in the face of the obstac les ;
in their way. — .bV. Louis Evening Xews. |
