Mr. A. lived in magnificent style—gave
!sumptuous entertainments, and was'
liberal to a fault with those whose pow-I
er he dreaded or whose influence he i
courted. When the premonitory symp
-1 toms of the late crash first appeared,
; the crippled condition of the Bank of
Pennsylvania rendered it necessary for
him to appeal to the other banks of the
city fur aid. At first a comparatively l
small sum—a few hundred thousand i
dollars—was considered necessary to
relieve the bank of its embarrassments,
but a knowledge of its necessities
becoming public, induced a run upon it
by seine of its heaviest depositors, and
the growing alarm increased the amount
of assistance he needed with each new
day, until the other banks also became
frightened, and refused to accede to his
demands unless be made a full exhibit
of the affairs of the bank. This ho re
fused to do, and learning that there
was little or no probability of his gain
ing the aid ho required, he resolved to
precipitate the catastrophe of a sus
pension of specie payments, and to i
drag the other banks down to the post-
tier which he knew inevitably await
ed
his own. At. an early hour he
called a meeting of thz directors, had
resolutions in favor of suspension pass
ed—notices to that effect posted on
the doors of the bank—and, Its he no

Somebody said, we think it was Mr.
CALUOUN, that it required a great intel
lect to understand and illustrate the
tarifi question. Our correspondents,
ho ever, are men of experience and
leaning, and bring mach reflection to
support their respective news. Those
who advocate a high protective tariff,
however, and who charge excessive
importations upon the system of low
duties, make some most transparent
mistakes. One fact in history seems
to have been overlooked by this class
of thinkers ; and that is, the enormous
amount of importations under the com
promise tariff of 1833, in 1835-38, while
the duties of that tariff wore still at the
highest. The fact is, the-whole .busi
ness of tariff will be best regulated by a
sound currency. It. is our paper mo
ney which mainly sets everybody will

did not plead for such interference , —

as God-forsaken and debased a crew as

awl nilir,t2r v.re of nightly occurrence;
undletnilang an/ innocent persons are
shot dower' it the streets, and the per
petrators—of the hellish deeds acquitted
by doubly sworn Know Nothing jurors.
These things are notorious.
As some of own citizens may have
been led to believe, through the news
papers of the dark lantern faith, that
trio oouree pursued by GOV. Ligon,
previous to the late election, was pre
mature, and that Baltimore was under
good order, we publish the following
from the es MetAoctist Protestant," the
organ of the Methodist Church, publish
ed in that city, which will no doubt be
taken as good authority by our Know
Nothing friends in this community s
That rowdyism is dominant In Balti
more cannot be questioned'. It is use
less to attempt to palliate or comma) it.
The ruthenium is becoming more and
more exacting, reckless and murderous.
Unless some decided steps are taken to
arrest its onward march, there is no
tolling what will be the coneequences.
Private property and private life will
be no longer secure, general anarchy
must ensue, and the majesty of our law
become an obsolete idea.
Wenre sorry to be compelled to record
such a state of things, both on account
of the inaecurity,of our citisens and of
the blighting influence which it must
exert upon commercial and business re
lations. Merchants from abroad will be
absolutely afraid to sojourn in Balti
more. They are not willing to rely
upon the assurance that there is no dan
ger to peaceably disposed persons—that
the riots are generally confined to per
sons of riotous disposition, to distinct
localities and that many of our streets
and thoroughfares are as quiet aud safe
as ever they were.
Visitors wish to have the whole city
before them, to be able to walk out in
conscious security; and so long as every
morning newspaper chronicles outrid e
and bloodzbed, it is impossible they reel
secure. Indeed, many of our citizens
are afraid to walk out st night in some
parts of the city. The oonsequenoo is
fat:trio the nights of religions persons.
Only a few days ago a minister of this
city expresBod to us the apprehension
that ho should have to close his night
meetings on account of the influence
had upon his membership` by certain
;.fathering in the neighborhood. So
unwilling were they to be out at night
that ho could scarcely summon enough
men to hold on official meting.
If tlio people of Maryland are willing
to tolerate the supremacy of rowdyism
in their commercial metropolis, they
will be left to enjoy the advantages of
such a state of things for an indefinite
period. If they can stand it, we can ;
bet as an American citizen, proud of
Im-rir,..3, we cannot but deplore, with
ti,o Sun, "the degradation
whi l / 4 714, i1n.1,, , en inflicted upon our insti
tutions; and the vialetees which the
laws, and. ordinances, and society, in
the persons of outragekl citizens, have
sustained."
Kansas Democratic.
The following item, in relation to the
recent election in Kansas, is from the
Herald of IYeodom, of the 10th nit :
La As the contest is now over,
we caution
oar Republican friends against claiming site
result here, as a Republican victory. it is
Free State triumph and nothing else. It is a
verdict of the people in favor of self-govern.

without any relatiod whatever to the old par.

The Ellwood 44bertiser, an indepen
dent sheet, in reviewing the result,
says:
**The vote of the Democratic party, aside
from sll other issues, is the strongest in the
Territory; and at this election the candidates
and organs of the party,;tried hard to ignore
the issue of free or slave State, with a - hope
of getting the whole vote, but without silo
ease. Should they pursue a fair policy, re•
speeting she manifest wish of the mue of
the people, making no effort to thrust slavery
upon the territory, they may confidently rely
upon Kansas entering the Union as a loyal
and Democratic State."

A Groat Democratic Victory

The New York §tato election has ad

cratic victories of 1857. The tziump&
is equalled only by that of Pennsylkmf I
ma, on the 13th of October. Tbe„Whole
Democratfc State ticket is elected by a
majority of about thirteen thousand, and
a Democratic majority iscarred in the
nest House of Representatives. At the
last Presidential election, Fremont's
majority in that State Nal about eighty
thousand, so that we have in the apace
of ono year a change of nearly one hun
dred thousand in favor of the Demers.
cyl• Who can 'pretend tchsey now that
Black Republioimisel is not entirely
dead, when Greeley, the father of it,
and Seward, Weed, ant Beecher, its
nurses, cannot carry their own State
for it, with last year's majority of
eighty thousand in their favor? Gun
powder gospel and Peter Funk philan
thropy may serve to deceive the people
once, but with the intervention of that
sober second thought, which always
will creep in during the quiet that sad
coeds elections, the shallow trickery is
sure to be discovered and abandoned.
Reflection never fails to bring the

Frauds 1
The Know Nothing papers talk of
frauds committed at recent elections by
Democrats. how disgusting to como
from such course ! The Democracy aro
in favor of the sanctity of the ballot
box. In Kansas, Gov. Walker hag
placed his own party in a minority in
the Legislature by refiring to twelve
a fraudulent return. But how has it
-been in- Baltimore, Louisville and Now
Orleans, under Know Nothing rule?
FRAUD in all of thom—nothing but
fttand!
Why, the Know Nothing movement
itself was a lie and a cheat in the be
ginning—and it has not " improved by
ago." Even here in Gettysburg, Know
Nothings will deny before. an election,
that dark lanternism is at all in ens
tence (this to gull a few Catholics and
foreigners,)—but let election day pass
round, and the earns proscriptive and
tyrannical spirit which actuated the fol
lowers of " Sam " three years ago, may
still be observed rankling in their
hearts. The same hatred of all who
hold to that church—to all lion) abroad
—is seen in what they say and what
they do. They would have this nation
engage in religions strift, to crash out
the rights of a portion, that the leaders
of their midnight conclave, as a►priaoi
pled a political crow as ever lived, may
secure office! Know Nothingism always
was and arrays will be nothing but a

It is rumored that the Philadelphia
Bank has filed a complaint. agbinet the

Orders were issued for the immediate
Democrat, and has been a hard worker
for the party. lie was efficient in get
ting up the New York City Democrat
ic Club,
and was placed at its head.
Though comparatively a young man,
he has been for many years an active
partizan, and among the most promi
nent, persevering, and useful of the
leaders of the "young Democracy."
He was an assistant clerk of the House
of Representatives, under Col. Forney,
and by his promptness, efficiency, and
obliging courtesy, made many friends,
and won the respect of all with whom
he came in contact. His election would
give universal satisfaction, but to be
successful be will have to overcome the
united local opposition of candidates in
Washington.
We make no question that any of the
candidates for the position would dis
charge its duties respectably, yet from
the talents of Mr. Daniels, his estima
ble character, his eminent fitness in dis
position far thoplace, and his locality
as a resident of New York, we would
be peculiarly gratified, if he should
prove the successful candidate. We
consider the location of the various ap
plicants for office as of some weight at
the present time, and this is particular
ly strong in favor of Mr. Daniels' case,
owing to the good service ho has
been enabled to do the party at home.
Front' the above outline which we
have hastily sketched, it will be perceiv
ed that each lieetiow of the Union has
an equal chance of representation. For
our part, we will rest satisfied with
whatever selections the Democracy
may make, but we trust they will weigh
well their candidates before they adopt
them, for it is evident from the present
indications, 'that the ballotings in the
next House of Reprehentatives will bo
unusually and exceediogly dose.
Deer The above handsome mention of
Mr. DANiets, we are informed on most
reliable authority, is well det-erved—
thoroughly so. A sterling and hard
working Democrat, possessed of un
stained character and high qualifica
tions, his choice would reffeat credit
upon the Ifouse, and his official course
honor upon himself. 11e hope for his
success

Very Proper Movement. —There is a
movement by the banks in New York,
it, is said, towards resuming specie pay

sooner this step is taken the better it
will be for the business of the country,
now prostrated by a want of confldenne.
All the solvent banks should look to
the earliest possible day for resumption;
the insolvent ones had better be put out
of the way.
