Spurious Tickets. Wo .have been credibly informed that quite a large number of tickets, purporting to be Dem ocratic, have been printed in Harrisburg, and circulated with a view to deceive Democrats. .Some of them contain all the Democratic can didates with the exception of Mr. Qoiolet, our candidate for Prothonotary, in whoso stead the name of the opposition candidate is inserted. We hare no doubt that the same game wit) be played on the other candidates, and we now warn our Democratic friends to be on the look out for them* The Democratic Meeting at Burkholder's. The Democratic meeting at Burkholder's IIo to), on Salurdry evening last, by the Democracy or Carlisle, was one of the largest wo have seen for many year*. The old and the young wore there, and the interest they manifested for the success of the Democratic ticket, convinces us that victory will once more bo the result of their labors. Several well timed addresses were de livered, and the utmost harmony prevailed.- After transacting some business of a private na ture, the meeting adjourned to meet at Parsons' Hotel, on Saturday evening. DEMOCRATIC MEETING AT DOGOESTOWN. Tbc Democrats of Silver Spring and the ad joining townships, arc to have a meeting at Hogucstown, on next Saturday evening.

Democrats are yon all Ready 1 As this is the last opportunity we will have before the election, wo urge upon every Demo crat who has the good of his country and the Democratic parly at heart, to bo up and doing. Wo have the slrcngih in Cumberland county to beat out the enemies of the Democratic cause, and if wo permit the present opportunity to pass by without embracing it, disgrace will for ever hang upon our shoulders. The opposition arc full of hope, and boast of being able to beat our ticket, and aro now using all sorts of means, foul and fair, to accomplish their ob ject. Democrats of Old Mother Cumberland, shall this bo so 7 Wc trust not. Wo have a good ticket In the field, composed of men who have fought well the battles of the Democratic party, and who aro fully qualified to discharge the duties of tho offices to which they have born nominated. Let all bickerings, prejudices and preferences, bo thrown aside, and unite as one man in the support of our ticket. If this bo done, victory will crown our efforts, and wc will have the proud satisfaction lo know that lbs opposition to Democratic principles is no where in the fight. Arouse, then, Democrats, gird on your ar mour, and prepare for (ho fight. Dou't tcavo the polls until every vote la deposited.

The Democratic Comity Ticket, While Democrats arc looking to the Impor tance of the, success of the Stato. ticket, they should not for a moment permit themselves to lose sight of that which also attaches to the county ticket. It would be but half a victory, in old Cumberland, if even Iho smallest of our county officers should bo lost, through a want of Interest. Our county ticket Is unexception able, from beginning to end, and we hope to see every man whose name is upon it receive the full vote of his party* Let every Democrat who goes lo the polls—and every one should go—vote the entire parly ticket. Give ho heed to those Republicans who endeavor lo gain strength for themselves by purauading Demo crats lo split their ballot, IQ.BWC them the ben efit of one vote, on personal favor, or something of that Vmd.

Let us move in one solid phalank to their-support. and stop to listen lo the* persuasion of opposition nominees only after wo have voted. The Coming Election. No Democrat should permit the apparent j calm that pervades in political affairs, and the foreshadowed certainty of a large Democratic majority, to deter him from going to tlfc polls on the 13th of October, upon the plea that Mere will be enough without him. The only hope of the Republicans is in remaining so quiet as to engender a spirit of indifference in the ranks of the Dcinocralic voting. Tlfough they do not expect to gain party which will induce many to neglect a victory by these means, yet they hope to so lessen our majority as lo make the tri umph incomplete, and thus gain for themselves a pretext for further agitation. Let no Demo crat be deceived by them. , We have a most ex cellent ticket—both Slate jnd county—let us give it the full support of the party, and clear the Slate for all coming time of the sectional and dangerous teachings of Black Republican demagogues. To do this most effectually, it is only necessary that every Democrat should faithfully discharge his duly at the coming election. We shall undoubtedly have n very large majority in the county and in the Stole ; but by a full patty vote, we can utterly oblit erate Abolitionism at a single blow. We have the power to do It now. Will each individual Democrat lend his assistance, when the day comes, even nt the expense of a little inconven ience 1 If he will, wo can vouch for such p victory as has not been known in the Old Key- stone for many ycors. While dwelling upon this subject, we shall lake the liberty of printing the following circu lar of lion.

We hope each one who reads it will consider himself indtvirfua/fi; ad dressed, and go to work as though the whole result depended upon his own exertions.

Dear Sir :—The Democratic State Committee are impresaedwilh (he Importance of an cdork to secure a full vote of our friends at the elec tion. With a full vole, <pir triumph is sure; nml nothing but exertion is necessary to secure it and obtain an overwhelming victory over the ' opposition. We appeal to }*ou to see that eve ry reasonable cflbrt is made in your county to get out the full vote of our party. We do this because (here is room to fear that a sense of se curity—a confidence in our strength, is opera ting to decrease interest, and paralyse exertion. The opposition are adopting their tactics to this condition of things, in failing to nominate local I tickets in Berks and many oilier counties where democratic majorities arc large, and in holding meetings and putting forth their exertions in those pans of the State where they have major ities. Their object, doubtless, is that the vote shall be full where they arc strong, and light where they arc not. We therefore earnestly urge you to give your influence and active aid for the short lime that will elapse before the election, to the measures necessary to secure a full democratic vote in your county. Our friends everywhere will bo urged to co-operate ' in this duly, and it is hoped that it will bo • everywhere fully discharged. The salutary re sults of a decided victory over the opposition at tins lime, will be felt for many years, and will relieve us from much effort and difficulty hero -1 afler. It will settle all the fanaticisms of the • day, destroy the factious spirits who would ar , ray one portion of the national confederacy against another, and utterly crush the fell ' monster of disunion. Every instinct of patri otism, then, demandsour best efforts, and every man who loves his country, his party, ond his race, should show his faith by bis works—by decided, vigorous, energetic cflbrt. Wo look to you for iU The candidates on the State ticket deserve our exertions, and their success will bo ours ; and besides, years will elapse before another important election will be held—bofoi-o an op liortunity will offer to do so much as can now io done for our principles and our cause. Ii is not a mere assumption that Pennsylva nia holds the fate of her nation in her hands, dictating its policy, and curbing and Controling its factions and fanaticisms. If sho waver, these latter will soon riot im triumph over the ruins of our national glory and power ; but white she remains firm, patriotism con bid de fiance to wrong, and the bulwark of civil liber ty will remain os fVee from injury as though no boisterous wave beat ogninst Us base. In a re cent contest, Pennsylvania, by (ho influence and power of her great name, whilfc the country wos trembling with fear of the worst results, placed her most eminent son Ip the National Executive Chair. 110 lias administered the government with marked ability and Justice, and has well nigh stilled the voice of faction and turbulence. Shall wo now prove recreant to him in the hour of his triumph, and by su pinenesa lose the gloty and the public profit of ilia achievements ? Rather shall wo not, like true men, strike a final blow with energy—, with oil our power—to overwhelm the oppo k I nents of his policy, establish his and our doc-1 trines os indisputable taw, and thus secure las-' ling peace to our country, and good will 1 amongst all our people? To discharge tills great duty, and to secure these highly patriotic ends, we repeat to you, it Is only necessary to go to work with n manly determination to get oot a full vote of the people at the ensuing election. Lot us not fall in this, nor have cause to reproach ourselves hereafter with indolence or Indifference.

To the Polls! Democrats Stand by your Parly! Stand by your party J 1 ’ let each word, Sink to the soul like living flame, For in a patriot’s heart they slirr’d, And from the patriot’s lips they came: From ono who although in the grave, Still sends a voice to'warn and save. “ Stand by your party !” Never sleep, Por'fcar a myrmidon is near, With bitter scorn and ha'rcd deep Of all a freeman holds most dear: Men who would have you bow the knee, Like them lo ruthless tyranny. ** Stand by your parly !” To the sky, Let her proud banner be unroll’d, Not to one honest heart deny The shelter of its honest fold ; But hail joy each added ray. That tells of freedom’s onward way. Democrats Remember That we have the voles and (he more shame to us if we supinely permit the 'gloriously opportunity of threshing Da vid Wilmot and the Republicans to pass, by unimproved. Never was there a. time when it behooved the Democratic party to be active *, not because it is so necessary in order to carry our ticket, but because a political stumping Judge and a venal, corrupt and unprincipled opposition are marching under a flag inconsistent in all its devices. Lay David Wilmot out cold now, mul you will have done with his proviso and his niggerism in Pennsylvania forever. Friends, the secret of our success, apart from our glorious principles, lies in our harmonious action, our admira ble order. It lies in the solid column with which we march to the polls and support our ticket from top to bottom. It lies in the fact that we feel and act like brothers for measures of policy and not for men. It lies in the fact that each man feels with his party, and that no personal feelings arc allowed to se duce him from the support of his prin ciples. DEMOCRATS, Aro you ready? The cleclion lakes place on TUESDAY NEXT. Are all our friends throughout the county ready for the contest ? Wo hope so. Then up, and at the enemy, and a glo rious victory will be yours ! Stand to you Duty ! The day cannot fail to bo ones, De mocrats, if wo do our duly. To per form this, we must devote the whole day to unceasing activity at the polls. We must pick our flints, look at our priming and enter the conflict deter mined to maintain our rights. Our motto must be “VICTORY !” Don’t Scratch (he tick els Democrats lot there be no scratch ing of names from the Democratic tick et this year. Vote tho ticket, the whole ticket, and nothing but the Democratic ticket. Your Black Republican friends have resolved to do this, and! we must mod them at all points. Beware, Democrats, Of the hypocritical Republicans, who will misrepresent and falsify, and do many worse things to promote the elec tion of their candidates for office. They contend that “all is fair in politics.”— Beware of these unprincipled jugglers and demagogues, for they will do any thing—no difference now mean to ac complish their ends. Democrats be on your guard against the base and malicious slanders tiiat will bo put in circulation by our opponents on the eve of the election. It is an old trick of theirs, which we all pretty well understand He on the ground early on the election day, ready to meet and discountenance their libels & slanders. See that every Democrat is at the polls with you. Democrats, Be firm.

TONNAGE TAX. This subject is entering largely into ibo elec tion of members of the legislature in almost cv'- cry county.' Everywhere the position of the Democracy is against repeal• and against a sale of the tax for less than its value ns a source of Stale revenue. The Democratic Stale Conven tion denounced “ the exemption and release of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company from all taxation upon its capital,stock, business, and property forever,” by the bill for the sale of the Main Line, ns “a dangerous precedent of doubt ful constitutionality, and an odious distinction between a powerful corporation and the tax paying citizens,of the Slate/’ The democracy of Cumberland and most of the other counties have with great unanimity, assumed that posi tion : but no where have the Republicans, by word or deed, given any evidence that their par ty or their candidates ore not in favor of the Legislature of last session, by which it was at tempted, os shown by the decision of the Su premo Court, to wrong the State out of four millions one hundred thousand dollars. In Cumberland county the Republican candidates con bo regarded in aspect. The Re publican party here, have, by their pilence, fully committed Ihcmsolvcslothtlunjusland iniquif on? legislation. Not so, ns to the Democratic candidates, Stuart and Buandt. Theypre the candidates of tho party which has openly and decidedly doctored against such legislation, and especially against tho repeal of the tonnage or its sale for less than its value; and they have accepted their nominations under this declaration, and as honorable men and truthrprcscntativcs. will cheerfully conform to it, should the matter come before them. This question is one of large interest to the general taxpayers of the Slate. The people arc alive to its importance, and will award to those who prove false to them, the fate of the traitors who attempted to sell the Slate to the United States Bank. As an evidence of the feeling abroad, we give the folk*tfhg from the Valley Spirit, the democratic organ of Franklin coun ty : THE MONSTER IN MOTION. corporation. Ihe Pennsylvania Railroad Company, is in tl\e field, endeavoring to secure the election of its friends to the Legis lature. In Lancaster county, the Republicans have nominated 001. Bartram A. Shoefler, the Solicitor or Attorney of the Company, for the 1 State Senate, and among their candidalcs for Assembly is Mr. Pownall, who was a member of the last Legislature and as such voted for the bill exempting the Pennsylvania Railroad Company forever from taxation. If the Com pany succeeds In getting enough of its minions elected, it will secure the repeal of the tonnage lax and thereby cut off from the SlaloTrcnsury the receipt of about a quarter of a million of dollars per annum. The repeal of llial tax is the great object the Company has in view now. If our taxpayers do not want their own burdens increased, they must not let the tax on the Penn sylvania Railroad Company be repealed. This is an important matter to the taxpayers. Their burdens aro heavy enough already, but they will be heavier still if tho Pennsylvania Rail road Company is relieved from taxation, for whatever is taken off the Company must he made tip from the taxpayers of the State. If the Company is released from the payment of a quarter of a million dollars annually, then that sum in addition to the large amount already assessed must be collected Atom the property ownersoftheCommonweaUb. Thestock of the Pennsylvania/Railroad Company Is held prin cipally by Fcmdghfcrs. ifodt them English men. Whnt'js not Held in 'England is in the hands of rich-capitalists ifn the cities. They are receiving eight pep oonfi dividends, and yet they want the tax token ofj, m that they may divide twelve or fifteen pfr cent. Shall these English end rich city stockholders succeed fn their design ' of fobbing tie country people of Pennsylvania 1 Shall tlwir property bo re leased’ from taxation, Whilst everything in Franklin county, from \b< largest farm to tbc smallest cabin, is compelled to pay Us share of tho public debt and interest ? If a majority of Black Republicans are returned to thc Legisla turc, tbc wishes of the English stock-holders of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company will bo complied with. < Important to the (ran Interest The Secretary of the Treasury, lion. Howell Cobb, ban ironed a circular to the Iron Manu facturers of the country, dated August, 1857. asking information on various points relative to the manufacture of Iron. The Secretary con cludes the circular by saying that “ the policy of affording er.rouragcmeht to this great inter est, by promoting its production and increasing its consumption, lias been commenced by the Government, and I am desirous of obtaining all the information which can bo had on the sub* jeet, with a view to its further development.” This is encouraging to our iron men. When they see at a glance (hat ’the National Admini stration, representing the Democratic party of the country, has taken a bold and fuarhss stand with a view of rendering aid and protection to this great interest, they may be satisfied that justice Mill not lie withheld in case they suflcr from present duties.

Tho Philadelphia Argus, says * —lt Is staled that our Black Republican Governor bos called nn extra meeting of the Stato Legislature, to legalize the present suspension of specie pay ment by tho Banks. Wo propose that tho Leg islature should go a stop further, if they nro prepared to go.ns far as the Governor rocom-* mends. If tho violation of tho law of the Stato by our banking institutions is to bo legalized, l£ (hoy are to bo relieved of tho penally they have Incurred, wo see no reason why there should not-bo a general prison delivery, a universal amnesty and millenlum for Individuals as well as corporations. *Why not—ls not this a gov ernment of Equal Laws and Equal Eights ? There certainly, then, can no possible distinc- tion bo made between different classes of law breakers. If one class are compelled to sutler tho legitimate consequences of their misdeeds, every closa should. There should bo no privi leged classes in the way of legalized (rand. If a merchant has a note due at a Bank, he is compelled to meet it at all hazards and at every sacrifice, or his credit is ruined } wo ace no rea son why a corporation of debtors should be treated with anymore legislative clemency, than tho Banks treat those who ore indebted to them. Let tho Legislature extend its fostering aid to tho merchants who have suspended ns well as the institutions who have forfeited their fchart- Wo arc willing that any reasonable aid should bo extended to such Banks as have been doing a legitimate business. Wo ask no Indemity for the past, but wo do demand some guarantee for the future. Wo ask Dial there should bo un doubted security for bill-holders against all pos sible loss in case of future suspensions or fail ures, and that nil bills of a less denomination than twenty dollars should bo prohibited from circulation. The Pennsylvanian says:—Gov. Pollock has called n special session of the Legislature on Tuesday next, but in what way It is intended to release the Banks and (lie community does not Boom to have been fully determined. It Is snid on the streets that (he Legislature Is to legalize tho suspension ; but this idea is surely not se riously entertained. It is hardly probable that the Legislature Will attempt to interfere between the Banka and (heir creditors, with whom they have mode contracts to do what they have failed to perfoim ; Indeed these rel (ions are protect od by (ho Constitution of the United States, to tho effect that no Legislature can pasj laws im pairing (be obligation of contracts. Thenagain, it is said, (he Lcgislatnre is to do no more limn to repeal so much of flic general law us requires assignment in cases of failure to pay, in order that tho Banks may continue to conduct (heir own affairs until (ho next Legislature shall have time to deliberate on the whole subject. Should the suspension prove permanent for'weoks or months, tho considerations which will present themselves to tho Legislature will be of a most serious character. We have no Idea that a Leg islature with but a week to exist can accomplish tho necessary work, and wo regret that the Gov ernor has called (ho present Legislature at (his The Press says It seems to bo generally conceded that Ibis is Ihe time and now is the * opportunity to apply a remedy to our banking , system. Tho evils we suffer spring not so much from the banks ns from the unsound principles of banking on which they rest. Now guaran tees, restraints of no ordinary character, and remedies (hat shall not bo an empty sound and a delusive hope, are imperatively demanded. is not for us, as journalists, to nmik out n line of action for (he Legislature to pursue. Butite can, nevertheless, advocate tho policy which our own past experience, (ho example and ex perience of sister States, and the wnntsand con dition of (ho public at flic present moment, indi cate as sound and expedient. The considerations suggested by the present ' exigency of affairs relate to—lst, a clearing 1 house system \ 2d, a sworn statement wuckly 1 (not yearly, as wo now have U) of the means and liabilities of the banks { Bd, a law to regu late the proportion of specie to the amount,not of tnuro circulation, but of the entire liabilities of the Banks; 4th, an increased specie circula tion by abolishing all notes under a certain de nomination j and, 6th, in due time, a%oro rad ical change in the whole system ol banking, than these low heads comprehend. Those reforms would go far, but wo fearnol far enough, to pre vent a recurrence of a monetary crisis like that which now exists. It Mould make public the Information necessary to our safety, and re quired, too, by the laws of trade for its own suc cess and stability- At present the actual con dition ot our Banks is a secret, confined to them selves with quite as much wntchfnllncss as they now keep from thoir noteholders aod depositors the specie that is locked up In their vaults. Don’t lloaud tub Coin !—There is nn abundance of gold and silver coin in the coun try for all the ordinary transactions of daily life. If it is only kepi in circulation. A small specie currency is the life-blood of business,and if it bo wanting to any considerable extent, bu siness will languish, stagnate or decay in pro portion ns its life-blood is wanting. The propensity to hoard gold and silver money is one of the lowest and meanest vices of the human mind. It is the very essence of self ishness. This propensity Is naturally heigh tened in times of panic like the present, and of ten seizes upon good men who in ordinary sea sons wonld bo entirely free from it. Let hll who have a spark of kindly and liberal feeling "resist the temptation and it will flee from them.” There is still sufficient gold and silver in the country to keep the wheels of business in mo tion, and thereby enable honest industry by dally labor to earn its daily bread. Whatever of want and suffering may prevail this winter among those who would labor but can find no employment, will bo largely owing to the hoarding of coin. Those who cause this want to fall upon tho poor, will receive their pay in duo season, if it bo true that “with the measure yo mole withal, the same shall be measured to to you again."

The following is an extract from the procla mation of Governor Pollock, of Pcnnsylvnnio. calling an extra session of the Legislature of that Stale : 1 “ Whereas a serious financial revulsion has occurred, resulting in the suspension of specie payments hy the banks of this and other States of the Union, and the failure of many long esta blished commercial houses, lending to the de struction of confidence, and to the general em barrassment and depression of trade, and threatening to nfiVcl disastrously the credit of the Commonwealth, and the great industrial interests of the people,' 1 &c. ’i It will be seen from the above that the atten tion of Governor Pollock has at lust been divert ed from “bleeding Kansas” to “bleeding Penn sylvania.” It is not many months ago that the Governor recommended lb the legislature of Pennsylvania 10 appropriate funds of the Stale for the aid ami comfort of the freedom-shrieking followers of General Jim Lane and Governor Robinson ; and we now find hi.s excellency in voking the presence of the same legislature, not for the purpose of upholding and protecting ihe industrial and producing interests of his Stale, hbl to give countenance and absolution lo Insti tutions that have openly and deliberately viola, ted the law that brought them into existence. .As the banks have succeeded in haring an extra session of (he legislature Called* it is rea sonable to presume that they will obtain foil forgiveness for their illegal acts, and that not only will their lost privileges be restored lo them, but new ones added, as a reward, doubt less. lor the evidences which they have furnish ed their Htilienng creditors of their folly, mis* management, or. may-be, something worse.— Why such indulgences should be granted lo corporations and refused to individuals is a question which future legislators must settle, and which we arc inclined to believe they will settle satisfactorily at no distant day. In the mean lime, to show how deserving the Phila delphia banks are of special legislative aid, we would merely stale that at a meeting ol thepresi dents and directors of the difierent banks of that city, held on Monday last, the following 1 ‘relief” measures were recommended and adopt- *‘A Suspension ton .nil notes, large and small. 2 The prompt issue of iheir own notes of the smaller denominations for checks, and all other obligations against them. 3. An increase of discount to (heir customers, with the object of affording imme diate relief." The legislature is asked to legalize the sus pension of specie payments. To increase the duration of the admitted evil, the bonks prom* iso to loan liberally their damaged credit—to increase their contributions to a depreciated paper currency, and to increase their amount, - now alarmingly large, of unconvertible and very questionable assets. If a merchant, under protest, were to apply to the legislature of his Stale for a stay of proceedings against Ids creditors, and, while making the application, should publicly, and even ostentatiously, pro mise to increase bis embarrassments, while many might he disposed to regard him as a !u -i natic. others would be very apt to treat him. i not as an object of sympathy and compassion. . but as belonging to that numerous class who , dgurc to our criminal courts for obtaining money under false pretences. b ! The needy and embarrassed do not apply to • others similarly situated for nssisioncc ; and to • us at a distance it appears sheer folly for a suf . fering business community looking to a batch of suspended banks for any positive pecuniary . relief, no matter bow small. Broken-down steamers ore not deemed particularly efficient ‘ for lowing purposes ; drowning men wore never saved by straws; and, we take it. it would puzzle a Philadelphia lawyer to tell how an in* i stitution that is unable or unwilling to meet its , own obligations can materially aid in meeting the obligations of others, the Philadelphia banks have forfeited their charters by failing to meet the assumed obligations to t .cir bill-hold ers and depositors, in this emergency (hey ask of the legislature about lo assemble at Harrisburg in n few dots two things : First, that the penalties which they have knowingly incurred shall not be carried into effect. And, second, that they shall have full license for a certain number of weeks or mouths to come to keep on in the illegal course which they ore now pursuing. In case these extraordinary demands ore complied with, the hanks, no longer restrained by the terrors of a specie redemption, will re lieve themselves and the public by an enormous issue of exquisitely executed copper-plate en gravings. in which their indebtedness and pro mises will be set forth In a style best calcula ted lo create confidence and credit; and this precious currency—at a business-destroying discount—is lo be, loaned at high rates to the merchants and traders of Philadelphia. These demands may be granted—the mar vellous sort of relief promised by the banks may be extended—and borrowers may eagerly seek after the renewed promises of faith-break* ing Institutions—but the business men of Phil adelphia will yet discover the utter hopelessness of attempting lo restore credit with damaged 01 i.m op .°! exlr,cal > n b' themselves from debt or difficulties with a depreciated, and what eventually may in part prove an utterly worth less currency.— HWtmgron Union.

WAS THERE ANY NECESSITY FOB IT t The Philadelphia Argus speaks our sontl. ment in tho following article :• Can any nitm who has intellectual capacity sufficient to enable him to count ten, be tnadd to believe that there was the remotest necessity for this monetary panic and pressure which har been produced by the banks? If the bahktf have been doing business in a. proper manner' if they have not been gambling and spec dating with their fictitious credit, if they have no? been making enormous loans to grain and flour spcculotors, sugar monopolists, and other leeches that suck out the very life-blood of the poorer classes, if they have not allowed a act of sharpers to their funds, there was not tho slightest necessity .for them to de* range every department of society by a suspen sion of specie payment of (heir debts. The country is full of nil the elements of wealth and prosperity ; there has been no vast* and widespread destruction o! property by fire and flood ; no heart-breaking distress caused by scnrcilyond famine; on the contrary, try at large" was never more prosperous and happy. In the midst of all this comfort and abundance, a crash comes, like a thunderbolt from a cloudless sky. .The banks refuse to rtv deem their promises, refuse.to pay their debts', set the law at defiance, and glory io wboi should bo their everlasting shame. Not a single effort, not a particle of sacrifice did they make or attempt to make, to save their own credit, or to aid the community in meeting the crisis they themselves had produced. Not o dollar arc they'willing to sacrifice out of the millions they have made from tho proceeds of the honest labor oi others, to save the producing classes from tho extremity of embarassment and ruin. They dare stand up, with unblush ing effrontery.gtod demand that their wanton violations of (qPbw shall receive the Legisla tive sanction and approval, without idetnnity for the past, or security for the future. Wo promise that any meml>cr of the Democratic party, who shall vote in favor of legalizing the suspension of specie payments by thobanks, shall be hung up to public scorn and contempt, ns farmers hang up an effigy in their cornfields* to score away the crows. 3Karmb In Springfield, on the 8d ult., by Rev.
