The Crisis over.

The crisis is over. We are entering up
on a period of dullness. The panic has
subsidized, and there are no exciting incl
dents in the history of yesterday to chroni-
Gle. Business moves on sluggishly. But
few failures are announced, though there
are many renewals of notes upon extended
time. Money is Still difficult to obtain at
the highest rates Of interest. Stocks are
advancing, and more business in them is
done. Specie commands but from to l
per cent premium. Trade in dry goods
is pro5trated; the wholesale dealers are
selling at retail, and the retailers find few
customers. The little that is doing in any
branch of business is for cash. The banks
are perfecting the details of the new ar
rangement at the Clearing House which
will soon be made, it is believed, are salts
factory to all parties.
Accounts from abroad are, for the mos,
part not cheering. A deeper gloom seems
to have come upon Philadelphia and Bal
timore, and other cities seem to be whist
ling to keep their courage up. More
bank suspensions are reported. In New
Orleans great excitement prevailed yester-
day and the day before, and there was a
run upon ali the banks. Many of them
bent 70 the storm and closed their doors.
In St. Louis there was also a serious run
yesterday New York Tribune, Octo-
Der 10th.

The Observation-Disclosures TO
Play your Hand.

Our news exchanges assert that the
worst features of the crisis have been seen
and that business and trade and money
and prices are about to heal over and be
Isound. We have no faith in these fatter-
ing unctions. Country towns and country
Ipeople are yet to fight the tiger. The
country Is long winded and will fight long
and desperately. They will law and twist
and screw and postpone by every means
before giving up the ghost; the worst cases
had better surrender at once and thereby
u%nfctter themselves, but they won't
Just now we hear deeply indebted men
say they won't sell their wheat under a
dollar nor their land under $500 per
acre. They are without reason and must
come down to the worst. Those who lis
ten to better counsels are selling off at cur
rent prices and paying up; the latter will
triumph, but the former will perish.
we duU Il rev WORDS Oh COuHSol-LHOtS
which originated in ADLER heads than ours,
but not more devoted to the public good
Be vigilant in selling your grain and sur
plus stock, at just as high prices as you can
get-but sell anyhow at some price. Turn
your stock and land over to those whom
you owe, if you can. This is better than
borrowing money at 20 percent. Rest as
'sured hat prices cannot advance materi-
ally within a year; we think prices Of
many articles will sink lower.
The merchants ought to be helped i'm
mediately otherwise, they will commence
Isueing and then there will be no stop
ping place. The merchants will not sue
if they can avoid it for they know the jig
is up with all when they begin to seize
property; all will fall in a heap and one
be left to bury the dead. Therefore, help
the merchants out and then suing and law,
Executions and forced sales will be cut off in
a great measure.
We notice that men having a surplus Of
money are loaning it to their neighbors-
thereby helping the people to keep up and
thereby doubly aiding themselves. This
is confidence.

To the Republicans OF Grai'
- G0UnSV.

Only a few more days remain for organ
ising for the election to come on on Tues
day, the Sd of November. Many OF ouf
men are MISUNDERSTANDING that the
state is sure enough without their help
IN the mean time, u enemies are doing
their utmost, having their secret agents out
in every dark corner and valley. Their
principles are so revolving that they dare
not discuss them openly hence, they resort
to personalities and low abuse of our men,
avoiding all reference to their principles
excepting the name, Democracy. Having
been convicted Of frauds, lyings, periuries,
school land frauds and stealings by oul
highest courts, they only seek by false
hoods to drag down the character of our
men to their own level.
Now what we ask our men to do is to
90 to work immediately, and see every
Republican and tell him of the danger
We tell you frankly, Republicans,y must
work from now till election, else there is
danger of losing the State. Our men are
as noted for staying at home on election
days as the Democracy are for turning
out. Every village has its Democratic
center, where lies and tricks are invented
for retail al election. Our men live most
ly in the country-indeed, nearly every
man outside the villages is a Republican
or say nine out Of every ten; they little
know of the traps and gulI-traps set fol
them.
Go to work then, now; should defeat be
caused by your absence or neglect to work,
the enemy will crow and you feel ashamed
Of your very name.
You are sincerely anti-slavery and OPP
posed to extending the evil. Remember
slavery cannot be extended so long as the
Free States show a bold Republican front.
Let the negro interest once get a few ne
gro loving northern Democratic Governors
in The north and then n~egrodom, from
Maryland to Texas, will sing songs of def
ance to the feeble north! This is no small
matter; your children will want to emf
CRATE to the territories and can you bear
the thought Of their going among negroes ?
Then vote for free territories and conse-
quently, free schools and such other prin-
ciples as made you a a

COKOred Suffrage.

The question Of extending the right of
suffrage to colored persons, other than
whites and Indians, is to be voted upon at
the general election this fall. Those In
favor of allowing negroes and mulattoes to
vote will write on their ballots as follows
For the Extension of Suffrage.
Those voting against such extension will
write as follows on their ballots:
For the Extension Of Suffrage, No.
No party issue is made upon this ques-
ton. Although the Democracy denounce
it in their platform, many of that party
will vote for the extension of suffrage. In
lS49 they resolved that free colored suf-
frage was eminently Democratic, but as
Democracy is a child without color, sex OF
character-a hermophrodite with a name
adapted to all %colors, sexes and principles,
their resolves are without meaning. Re-
publicans are divided upon the question,
as they are everywhere and always will
be. It is considered right to vote upon
the question by all parties. CRoss, the
Democratic candidate for Governor, head
ed a Milwaukee petition to the Legislature
for vote upon the question, and upon that
petition the Legislature authorized the
vote to be taken. His support of the
principles brought the question up. The
Democratic Legislature of l849 authorized
a similar vote and in their State Conyen-
ton of that year they resolved in favor Of
"free and equal suffrage" The Republi
can Convention of 1857 resolved agains!
