Conspiracy against the Banks-Next Elee-
item.
The agents in New York Of the swindling bankers
in Philadelphia having failed in spite of their four
meetings at the City Hstel last week, to .intim-
diate banks into imprudent expansion Of dis
counts, and consequent suspension Of specie pay
ments, are now engaged in a secret conspiracy
with certain portions of the wing party, to bring
about, through political results, what they could
not accomplish under the name of mercantile
ments for the g relief of the community
1t seems that portion of the whg ticket for the
assembly, have given to their agents verbal pledges
that if they be elected next week, they will pursue
policy calculated TO compel the banks to suspend
specie payments, and to degrade the character of
New York TO the low standard of Philadelphia
Last week private committee from the auctoneers
and jobbers went to Philadelphia to collect money
there from the broken banks, in order to aid their
in this city. This explains the recent view
taken in Philadelphia OF banks" Oh. the
New York banks will not suspend till after the cleo
ton" The swindling banks in Philadelphia, Dyotts
large scale will contribute any to carry all
part Of ticket that may be in favor Of suspension
and irrede mable paper in New York. They know
very well that if New York can maintain her present
honorable position she will become the great centre
of the money market of this country, and when
National bank is created, il will be that the
mother Institution must be placed here.
In order to pre- vent the natural ascendancy of New
York, the swindlers Of Philadelphia will pour out
their money like water to procure legislature fayo
rabe to irredeemable paper currency-the inia-
ton Of prices - and interminable crisis in our
money affairs.
Now in this position Of things, il behoves the wing
party to take OF what they about The great
bulk Of the wings SQUAD in principle. and approve
the dignilied and enlightened policy Of the NewYork
banks. The wings party not responsible for
the conduct professions, opinions of auctsneer,
jobbers, spectators, or oankrupts. But if they
elect mes who VIII hetray the banks and degrade
New York, they will be only aiding to destroy their
own reputation, character and fortunes. At this
nenf part Of the ,chg ticket is secretly pledged to
cause the banks TO suspend specie payments, and TO
degrade currency to the ferei Of the philadelphia
sscindlcrs. IL such permitted to remain on the
ticket, and as there is probability OF their being
elected il is important that the sentiments Of all
should be known, and proper ticket selected.
To all retired merchants, real estate holders, up
right mere hants, sound mechanics, and industrious
working men, the preservation Of a sound currency
is OF the most incalcuabe bene6t-to the reputation
Of the city, il is every thngand TO the character Of
the country abroad, il is the very sheet anchor.
Look well TO the next election, for there is dark
conspiracy TO elect legislature that will infct up
on us an irredeemable currency, merely 10 crafty
the swindling banks Of Philadelphia.

The Courier \ Enquirer says, ''all despotisms are
hard money countries" This is the assertion Of
those fnancers-what is the factl For these forty
years Russia the most despotic country in Europe,
