Az AFFECTING EvEST.-Among the deaths in
this city last week, says the Providence r. IL
Post was one caused by religious excitement,
intense conviction Of sin, from which the unhap-

could obtain no relief. Medical men could dis
cover no trace Of physical disease, and the efforts
of faithful clergymen to Tighten the burden from
her mind were unavailing. Overpowered by a
sense of Divine wrath she steadily refused nour.

THE REMEDY,

Mr.. JAMES G.. HOLMES addresses short noto to
Col. JOHN CUNNINGHAM, of the Evening News" en-
closing certain items of advice to the Banks. we
know not how far the wisdom of Mr. HOLMES is to be
relied on but in the present instance he certainly
presses himself like prudent and good man. This
is whit he says to the Banks:
Ease the debtor.
In all cases where renewals will not endanger lo'
thom be granted.
Let all collection paper for domestic account whcth'
or notes or acceptances be likewise extended.
Let collections for foreign account be examined, and
if payable within the month"; and there be no danger
incurred let the collecting banks assume the power
of c1tonsion and render themselves responsible to
the ownors of such paper. If such owners agree te
the extension, we'll if they decline let the banks
credit tho owners and hold tho extended paper on
thoir own account.
If business is suspended the evil will be temporary
less than month, and it will be more healhy re-
sumed and we shall prosper.
An opposite course to that recommended may and
probably will produce mercantile lailures and i'm
measurable disiroSs-rsacting with terrific force or
banks who arc debtors vol creditors Of the com
munity.

pENNS7hyaNIa DEMOCRACY.

Our readers requested to read tho manly and
able resolutio4 s,o Keystone Club of Philadelphia
which we pub4}&9n tho first page. They set forth
briefly the principles and pledges of the sound demo-
cracy of tho country 1t will be observed, how broad
ly and boldly they express the fixed determination OF
the Democracy in respect to Slavery and Southern
Rights. The trumpet of the Keystone Club gives no
uncertain sound upon these vital questions. Its tones
aro palpable, plain and unmisakeablo. Cnquestion-
ably the Democratic party of tho Union is the party
of the Constitution. And tho manifest policy of
the South is to work with that party SO long as its
objects are suchas the Pennsylvania Resolutions set
forth. The policy of South Carolnn is identical with
that of the South.
But the hint comes from most respectable source,
that it will be betor to form ns,r Democratic party
which shall bc refined fronthe impurities Of the old
IIavo the authors Of this suggestion reflected upon
the dificultiesin the way Of efectng this change
Have they considered that it would produce distraction
in the South and in the North, in the East and in the
West, and that too among tho conscientious patriots
of all those sections? Havo thoy weighed the chan
ccs Of Black ReIublicanism gaining complete tri-
umph amid tho confusion that would necessarily
onsue s.
Ia it not far better to stand by the Democracy M
exists to avail sc!res of its good and help to r0
form its evil tend nciss? Is there any other course
by which wo can 90 certainly protect our homes and
institutions in tho Union? Is thcro any surer why,
not only of protecting ourselves but Of reforming the
abuses of the General Government?
We ask every man to scan carefully the resolutions
of tho Keystone Democracy, and then answer these
questions as his own independent Judgment shall de-
eide, always remembering that any course of political
action, to be wise, must also be practicable.
