Prospects of a Financial Crisis.

Thompson Bank Note Reporter
which is considered very good au-
thority in matters Of finance, thinks
Notwithstanding the failure among a
certain class Of railroad and other
stock SPECTATORS, that the CONNER
ciaI prosperity OF the country is in
very little danger: 1t expresses it
self in the following terms:
Monopolizers, railroad kings and
great financiers are beginning to fall.
Merchants who have injudiciously
extended their business will follow
suit Bankruptcy and panic are the
order of the day; still the country
is safe-all the leading interests of
the country are safa-all the promi-
nent pursuits are healthy and pros
porous, (railroad speculation always
excepted.) There is no great crisis
at hand There is but one event,
and that n OF very likely TO take
place, which would, in our opinion,
briug crisis: that event is the res
toration Of peace in Europe. The
general opinion is that peace would
make prosperity rebound to this
Our opinion is that peace
is the only thing that can floor US.

Massachusetts ADti-Nebraska State
Convention.

This body met at Worcester on
the 20ih uIt., and. was largely at
tended by men of all shades of
politics from all parts of the State.
The committee to report a PLAN of
operations consisted of an equal
number of Wings and Democrats.
A Provisional Committee of two
Wings, two Democrats, and two
Free-Soilers, were appointed to
call a State Convention of Dele
gates, at which nominations will
be made for the coming State cleo
ton. The following resolutions
were un animously adopted:
Resoleed, That the unquestiona-
bic existence of settled purpose
on the part of the slave power to
convert the Republic which our
fathers founded on principles of
Justice a nd liberty, into a slave
holding despotism, W hose vital and
Eliminating spirit shall be the pres
ervation, propagation, and perpet-
uation OF Slavery, calls for the i'm
mediate union of all true men into
a party which shall make the queS-
tion of freedom paramount to all
other political questions.
ResOlped, That in cooperation
with the friends Of freedom in 9TH
er States, we hereby form ourselves
into the "Republican Party of Mas
sachusettso- pledged to the ac-
complishment of the following pur-
poses:
To bring the Administration Of
the GeneF al Government back to
It's original principles of Ii berty.
To repeal the fugitive 81 ave law.
To restore the prohib ition of
slavery in Kansas and Nebraska.
To prohibit slavery in all the
Territories.
To resist the acquisition of more
slave States.
I o abolish slavery in the District
of Columbia.
To protect the Constitutional
rights of all citizens going to other
States.
That Massachusetts, has the,
Constitutional right, and it is her
imperative duty, to enact laws
which shall protect the personal
freedom of all her citizens.
Resol0ed, That we recommend
the assembly, at some central and
convenient place, to call a Nation
al Convention, with a view to the
adoption of effectnal measures to
resist the encroachments of the
slave power.
About $500 new Delegates are
said to have been present We
see no propriety in their being dis
as Wings and Demo
Gratis, and Abolitionists they
we're Abolitionists. +

The Connecticut Legislature.

The Legislature of Connecticut
has always been remarkable as
semblage. Ii we credit that VERT
able historian, D;ederick Knicker-
booker, they commenced their la
bors by resolving to adopt Tor their
government the laws of God, until
they had time to make better ones.
| When they found this leisure they
got up the Blue Lars, code mol
less celebrated than that Of Draco
or Justinian.
TREY have gone on improving in
the science Of legislation even TO the
present time. After the Newark
calamity they passed very severe
laws against open draw-bridges.-
Afteran elephant got loose IN Rhode
Island and tossed up several one
horse wagons, they enacted another
law forbidding the passage of wild
beasts through the State, except, in
the night time, and then only alter
some one had gone ahead and told
the people the giraffe was coming.
After the adoption Of the Constiiu-
ton of the United States, requiring
fugitiyes from labor 10 be delivered
up on claim, they passed law say
ing that iugilives from labor should
not be so delivered up, and even
went so far as to punish with impris-
onment any one ho had the temer-
lily to assert constitutional rights
Alter they finish their labors, these
Solons ought all to creep into the
shell Of a wooden nutmeg and pray
for the Almighty to hide 'em.

A Curious FAcT.-Cholera, in its
repeated returns, almost Invariably
revisits the same>eountries, districts
of countries, portions Of cities and
towns, and even particular houses
and rooms where it had been before.
The first case that occurred in the
town Of Leith, Scotland, in 1913,
was i'm the same house and within a
few feet Of the very spot from whence
the epidemic of 1882 commenced
its course. On its appearance in
the down Of Pollokshaws, it snatched
its first victim from the same room
in which it broke out III 1882. At
Oxford, in 1913, as in 1882, the first
case occurred in the county Jail.
At Gottingen, in Holland, the
disease, in 1882, attacked in the
better part Of the city only two bou-
ses, and the epidemic broke out in
those two identical houses in the Wis
itation of 1913. The seats of chole-
ra are the we'll known haunts of 9TH
er epidemics and pestilential disea-
seq, such as typhGs, scarlet fever,
hopping cough, erysipelas
md remittant fever.
We understand that one of the
I'D physicians of Nashville, predict
ID where the cholera would first
make ifs appearance in that city, and
hat he did not miss the spot twenty
eet.

Nj. NJ o. Wallace:
DEAR SIR-News from this place,
and at this time, certainly will not be
uninteresting to sister town, es-
pecially as both have been visited
with the same distressing nalady.-
Locality nor situation seems TO ar,
rest the progress of the most fatal Of
American scourges-cholera. This,
lit would seem, ought to be as healthy
a place as Tennessee affords; but yei
cholera is among US, and is and has
been for several weeks satiating its
furnished "gas!er upon the live Of
men, Though the disea Sc is att end
ed with all the symptoms of Asiatic
cholera:-the vomiting and rice " ater
discharges, cramping, the shrill hol-
low voice, sunkep eyes and contract
ed pupil, "cold sweats and surface, !"
&c, with many other symptoms usu
ally attending that disease, yet
some will affirm and positively assert,
"there is no cholera in Loudon. =
Yes, even one of the Knoxville ply
sicians ventured to make the asser-
ton Dr.J G. NJ. R.. We should
like to know what it is, if not chole-
ra, that with so few moments warn
ing removes its victims to an un-
known world?
We are induced to write this from
the fact it is such difficult matter
to get correct news from Loudon to
Fayetteville; nay, correct news, such
as can be relied on, can not be had
the short distance Of five miles. =
The number Of deaths in and around
Loudon ampunt to this date to about
% or, 80 number of cases, perhaps
60 or more. The greatest difficulty
in curing the disease with some of
our physicians, is being called in
time. Some will delay till assistance
is unavailing. Perhaps, and very
probably, if taken in time, it would
not prove more fatal than common
fevers.
Ourtown like Fayetteville, was al
most wholly deserted. Stores, hotels,
&C., in a word business was suspend
ed. But as the disease abated, our
returned, and with them chol-
era returned. But now, since the
recent rains and hail, it seems rather
disappearing again.
1t has made its appearance at Phil
adelphia, 5 tx miles from this place.

wards Knoxville, having advanced |
several miles in that direction.
We look around on every hand,

gloom wells the visages of most Of
our citizens. They tell in language
lot to be misunderstood, the fell de-
itroyer has executed his work. The
,ereaved widow, the disconsolate hus-
'and, the orphan infant. surround US
lie who has any sympathy of soul.
Vill here have cause to call it forth. {
However, there are some as thought {
ess as though nothing Of the sort

id adieu to East Tennessee; at least, |
Or the present summer. More at an a
