Politics and Finances.
Tho buKinoss iti6tinctu of commercial
communities teach that tho prolonga
tion of political troubles and dissen
tient, or the prevalence of high parti
san strife, are not promotive of mate
rial interests. Tito decline in five
twenties abroad, in the face of tho
vast resources and ample revenues of
the United States treasury, would
seem inexplicable, were it not for the
apprehensions which certainly do es-
11, especially in Uermany, jis to the
final result of our "present domestic
troubles. These apprehensions, com
ing from sources too remote to bo
tinned with American sentiments or
prejudices, one waj' or the other, and

us in time. From Frankfort, the great
centre of the European trade in Amer
ican securities, we see that the United
States bonds are depressed, notwith

and financial reports which have
reached them through the medium of
the press uud l-y privato advices. In

Congress begin to alarm our capital

been settled in a constitutional way
confidence cannot revive. Political
uneasiness is the onlv reason for the
decline, as the market is not over
stocked, tho price for money being
still higher than for tho account."
All other securities, Austrian included,
maintain their quotations. A leading
house at Frankfort writes as follows :
"Notwithstanding tho lact that for

thero has been a very severe depres

to outweigh even these flattering pros

such.) and henco they have neglected

have heard of no purchases for invest

is useless to look for any. The polit
ical difficulties in tho United States
are now such that only a settlement
upon a purely satisfactory basis to
both parties can impart a feeling of
stability to the Ocrman markets.
At London, Satterthwait k Co. re

anticipations of the amount of the

Tho Radical Heroes.
There is hardly one of the men w ho
were prominent in tho proceedings of
tho recent Radical Jlisunion demon
stration at Pittsburg, or of tho prece
ding Negro-suffrage Convention at
Philadelphia, who has not a record in
favor of secession and slavery. Up to
18(51, Prownlow was tho most violent
and profano advocate of slavery and a
Southern Confederacy that could be
found in the whole country. lie gave
the keynote of secession, . aud. threat
ened a war upon the North. lie was
probably the first who started the idea
of a Southern Confederacy in the in
terests of slavery. Putter was also a
violent pro-slavery advocate. lie
quarrelled with the Democratic lead
ers in 1800 because they were not suf
ficiently pro-slavery and Stuto-rights.
He set on foot the political movement
which resulted in tho adoption of or
dinances of secession in the South.
He was the sworn friend and chief j
f ugleman of Jefferson Davis, and until j
the commencement of actual hostili
ties, the most earnest pro-slavery Dem
ocrat in all the North Governor Gen
eral Hamilton was an open advocate
of the revival of the African slave-
trade, and an applicant for money to
raise a company for tho use of the
Southern Confederacy. Speed, the
President of tho Philadelphia Negro-
suffrage Convention, was. at the be
ginning ot the war, opposed to coer
cion ol tho South, and did more, per
haps, than any one other man, except
tho rebel General Puckner, to induce
Kentucky to take up arms to prevent
the Union troops from invading the
South. John A.Logan, now tho great
Radical biir cun in the West, was at
one time openly charged by hit Union
neighbors in Illinois wilu raising
troops for the rebel army, and about
that period stood up in a sporting
houso in this city, and, raising his
right arm, exclaimed, "If ever I take
up arms against tho South may this
arm fall paralyzed " John Cochrane,
Butler's chief assistant ot Pittsburg
and Vico President upon the Fremont
Cleveland Straight-out ISegro-suflrae
Convention of 1MU, in a speech in
Richmond, Virginia, in tho autumn
of 18i0, encouraged the rebels to pros
ecute their scheme by declaration that
"when there shall be a regnnont raised
in tho North to cocrco the South, there
will be also another regiment raised
in tho North to put tho first one down."
In 1801, Stokes, of Tennessee, who
has recently been stumping tho conn
try in behalf of tho Radical Disunion
programmo, announced to the people
of Tennessee, in tho Duncan letter,
that ho had enrolled himself in a rebel
military organization, and advised re
sistance to "the Lincoln tyranny.
These nro only examples taken at
random from tho list of tho busiest
advocates of negro suffrage and most
active leaders of the Radical Disunion
faction. They ore the men who stirred
up treason and rebellion in the South.

civil war in tho North. Xtit. Intel.
Bev. Fitz's Philanthropy.
"Down with th aconmed institution !"
"Away with the 'relic of barbariiun I" "
"Tho curso aud "in of slavery muft be removed !"
Such was tho chorus of the yelping
hounds unk"tineled from tho infidel
pulpits of New England, until civil
war abolished the institution of South
ern slavery. O, how they , whined
about humanity how they prated
about philanthropy how they preach
ed anti-slavery ! The poor oppressed
negro tho, overseer's lash tho auc
tioneer's hatu'mer 1hc 'blrodhrmnd's
bay thesn were their texts, the bur
den of tlieir songs, the subjects of their
pnrycrs, or the objects of their malo
dictions. How the gullible noodles,
who pinned their fait h to the skirts of
theso pious philanthropists, shrunk
from the very mention of the namej
Slavery ! How tho men groaned as
they listened to the recital of Sambo's:
wrongs! How tho women wept ns'
they heard the story of Dinah's sale
lijum the auction block ; U, it was
pitiful, it was sad beyond expression,
it was horrible above all that could be
conceived of crime, that tho poor ne
gro, "a man and a brother," should be
doomed to pi no in the chains of South
ern slavery. Tho Rev. Mr. Fitz told
his congregation so lrom tune to time.
Tho Rev. -Mr. Fitz said so in tho annu
al meetings of tho Boston Anti-Slavery
Society. Tho Rev. Mr. Fitz re
pealed it in a hundred stump speeches
delivered in tho disguise of lectures.
So slavery was abolished, the Frecd-
I'ureau was erected; ana the
great christian philanthropist, the
Ilev. Dr. Fitz, was made a Superin
tendent of ttio Freedmcn, in tho State
of North Carolina. Hail, glorious
Freedom ! No nioro hard work fur

Fashion.
Fashion rules the world, and a most
tyrannical mistress she is compelling
people to submit to the most incon
venient things imaginable, for her
sake. .
She pinches our feet with tight
shoes, or chokes ns with a tight neck
erchief, or squeezes the breath out of
our body by tight lacing.
She makes people sit up by night,
when they ought to be in bed ; and
keeps them in bed in tho morning,
when they ought to bo up and doing.
She makes it vulgar to wait upon
one's self, and genteel to live idle and
useless.
She makes people visit when they
had rather stay at home, cat when
they are not hungry, und dtinlc when
they are not thirsty.
Sho invades our pleasures and inter
rupts our businecs.
She compels us to dress gaily, w hether
noon their own property or that of
others, whether agreeable to the word
of God, or tho dictates of pride.
She ruins heallh, and produces sick
ness; destroys life, and occasions pre
mature death.
She makes fools of parents, inva.ids

evils brought upon us in the interest
of despotism, by tho Stantons, tho
Holts, and their radical allies. Tho
very senso of freedom has been blunt

Free speech, freo discussion, in which

Tho Tribune says that "Secretary
Stanton recms incapable of compre
hending that this country has, or
should have, any other law than his
will." No ono doubts the truth of
this assertion; yet what effect does it
produce on tho public mind f There

I saw him first at a social party
Ho took but a single glass of w ine, nnd
that at tho request of ft young lady
with whom ho conversed.
I saw him next when he thought he
was unseen, taking a glass to satisfy
tho slight desire formed by bis social
indulgence. Jio thought thero was no
danger.
1 saw him ogam with thoso ol his
own age, meeting at mgiu, lOFpcna a
short timo in convivial pleasure, lie
said it was only innocent amusement
1 met him next lato in the evening
in tho street unablo to reach home
I took him thither, lie looked asham
ed when wo met.
I saw him next reeling in tho street,
A confused staro was upon hUcountc
nance, and words of blasphemy were
on his tongue. Shame was gone.
I saw him yet once moro. lie was
pale, cold, motionless, and was carried
bj' his friends to his last resting place.
In tho small procession that followed,
every head was cast down, and seemed
to shako with uncommon anguish.
His father's gray hairs were going
to the grave in sorrow. His mother
wept to think that sho had ever given
birth to such a child.
