OUR PROSPECTS.

At the present time when efforts are being
made to induce the Democracy Of Cambria
to abandon their old landmarks, and to assist
the united forces Of the Know-Nothing and
Black Republican parties to triumph, it will
certainly be admitted that the question sub
mitted to :heir determination is one of very
great importance. aud the propriety of their
taking comprehensive common sense view
Of it must be evident to all.
Nothing can be more certain thai that the
volunteer candidates" Palmer & Co.. are re-
ally the candidates Of the Kne W. Nothing and
Black Republican parties. If We are not
right in this Messrs. Palmer 4 Co. can correct
us But we know well that they dare not do
90. we know that they arc ashamed to avow
that they rely on Know Nothing and Black
Republican votes to secure their election, and
at the same time are afraid to deny the ''soft
Impeachment" sThey have neither the man
illness to openly proclaim themselves as the
candidates Of the united hosts of Know Moth
ingism and Observation-Disclosures, or to de-
clare that they would seorn to be elevated to
office through the votes Of men who arc the
open, the svowed enemies of the Union and
the Constitution and of Religious Liberty;
In q word bigoted Kuow-Nothings and fanat-
iszl abolitionists.
Their reasons for conducting themselves in
such vicillating manner in this matter is
obvious. They arc confident of receiving
the entire now-Sothing and Black Rspub-
lican vote Of the county, because it has been
pledged to them by the leaders," and they
hope to secure enough of votes from g dis
affected" Democrats to secnre their cleo
ton Whether they are right in their cal

the opinion that the result on the second

Il is indeed gratifying to perceive the en-

1t has until recently been received and un-
contradicted opinion, among the members OF
tho Democratic party. that the ascendency of
its principles in the administration of the
affairs of State was essentially necessary to
the permenent glory and happiness of our
beloved country, and it was always heretofore
supposed that Democratic measures could on
ly be sustained through the votes Of Demo
ocratic men. But it would seem from the
statements of the National De
m-o-c-r-s-c-y. that a new era hath dawned
upon the world, and that the aseendency Of
Democratic men and measures in I" this great
country Of ours" can only be secured through
the medium of Know-Nothing and Black

Truth Demands Nothing from the Character

The above is the motto of the National
Democrat" the organ of the disorganizers in
this county. We cannot imagine what could
induce Mr.. Hite to adopt such motto for his
paper, unless it was the consciousness that
while protesting to be Democrat, he was
really the friend and advocate of the princi-
Piles of the Know-Nothing party. We can
almost imagine the Editor and his aids in

Der truth demands nothing from the char

although We profess to be Democrats, and are

The Monetary Crisis.

The q Philsdelphia Enquirer" of Saturday
last says:
Yesterday was day Of extraordinary ex-
citement in this city. Soon after the opcnfEag
of the doors of the Bank of Pennsylvania. it
wan deemed expedient to close them. Imme
diately tho intelligence spread with the great
est possible CELEBRITY and crowds soon assem-
bled in Second and Third streets. and indeed
in the neighborhood of all oar leading none
tary institutions All sorts OF spcculations
we're iudulged, and many extravagant reports
we're circulated The effect was, to produce
q run upon the banks generally for specie
All Of them. except the Bank of ofPennsylyania,
paid out, either in whole or in rart, until three
o'clock, the usual hour of closing. Mean
while the Presidents of the Banks assembled
in council at one o'clock, and after Distressing
the condition of affairs, adjourned to meet
again at four o'clock. During the day, the
specie that was Withdrawn from the various
| institutions, amounted to something like q
MILLION AND HALY OF DOLLARS. There was
however little or no confusion or disorder
atd those who made their demands. did so in
| a cheerful and good -natured spirit. At 4
| o'clock. the Presidents of the Banks rs-assem-
| bled, and renewed their disussion of the con-
| dition of affairs. They eat for nearly two
hours, when views pro and con were given,
| all in frank and kindly spirit-thc object
expressed on all hands being to pursue the
course best calculated to protect aad assist the
community. A resolution was finally ndop-
| ted, and with entire, unaninity, RECON-
aENDING TEMPORARY SUSPENSION OF SPECIE
PAYMENTS BY ALL THE BANKS OF PHILA DEL
pHIA. Depositors. note-holders, and stock
| holders, need not feel the least alarm. The
banks have been cxerting themselves to the
utmost for the last fortnight, to sustain them
solves, and most OF them would still be able
| to pay their entire circulation and deposit,
but in doing so, they would be compelled to
withhold all ass is tanoe from their customers,
and thus, in fact, to cripple the community
and retard tho general prosperity They
have perferred the policy Of temporary suspen-
sion, and in this We think they have acted
wisely.
It appears by Phiiadcipbi. papers received
this morning, that the excitement still contin.
concert Of action. The Pittsburg Banks
with the exception Of the Bank of Pitts
burg" have suspended. All the Banks o
Baltimore, the Harrisburg. York and Read
ing Banks have also suspended specie pay
nent. The New York City and New Eng
land Banks, with the exception of those o

and seem determined to bear up against tn
pressure.
