our ancestors, it will not psss away without
leaving behind it most destructive and disas-
trcus effects upon the interests OF trade and
commerce and manufactures, aud every branch
of business al the North. Already we are be-
ginning to feel these effects. 1t viii be seen
from our news thai the Southern banks are re-
fusipg to transact exchanges with the North
This is only the beginning Of the end, symp-
tom Of the commercial disturbance and embar-
rassment which are to follow, resulting in
suspension Of the Southern trade and OF North

Of the industrial pursuits of the country.
Seward, the Panic Maker, Called 70 New
York-A Warning 60 the People.
Mr.. Seward, after tour in the Northwest in
which he has scattered broadcast the seeds of
financial panic aud commercial 1In1uiQn.
which will exceed in destructveness everything
Of the kind the world has ever witnessed, is
to address to morrow his afrighted followers
in this city.
1t is our duty in this momentous crisis to
warn the people against the artful words of the
demagogue and panic maker. From Maine to
the plains Of Kansas and back has he made a
pilgrimage during the present political cam
paign. In the rural districts he has constantly
held language and given utterance to revolu
tionary ideas which he has sedulously RETAINED
from expressing on the floor Of the Senate at
Washington, and which he has always with
held from the audiences Of the larger cities.
During the recent pilgrimage he has en-
deavored to adapt his radical expressions
to the prevailing tone of the commu.
nifty he might be addressing. At Boston he
gloried in belonging to the Massachusetts
school," which had produced an Adams Gar
rison and Phillips; at Detroit he intimated
that it was time to throw overheard the sooth-
ing processes which had characterized the labors
of the founders OF our political system,
| and those Of the second generation of our
statesmen, the expounders at Lansing he threw
off all Disguise and proclaimed bis intention to
make war for {" the decrease and diminuion of
slavery in all the States;" at st. Paul he sang
paans over the triumph of aboltionism and ap-
peaed to the flibuster spirit of the people, and
at Atchison he crowned his efforts with the de-
claration that all races and all men in this
country must have both bullets and ballots, or
none must have them.
1t is these defiant outgivings of Mr.. Seward.
these unblushing foreshadowings of the deadly
policy that is to animate black republican ad
minisuation If Lincoln is elected, that have
alarmed the South roused il to the conviction
that the time has come when 1t must arm in self
defence, and given to New York some ftful
gushes of the tempest Of ruin that
will howl through the land when 1t
shall become known that honor and life
in the South can be preserved only by a seve-
rance OF the fraternal ties existing with the
North. These foretastes Of the coming storm
have alarmed the black republican leaders for
TIE stesdiness Of their followers, and the panic
maker himself Is to be brought here to endea
vor TO restore sufficient degree Of confidence
| 10 last until after the election. He has been
| told that be must make conservative speech,
| just as he was told on bis return from Europe
after the John Brown raid, In order to save his
party. We may therefore expect him to assume
a very conservative aspect tomorrow, drawing
abolitionism as mild AS he possibly can. lie
will be afraid to utter here the sentiments that
be expressed at Lansing and Atchison, aud We
shall therefore zee q political wolf In sleeps
clothing. The man who claimed 10 be q Hart
ford Convention traitor at Boston, a moderate
antislavery man at Detroit, radical aboli-
ZIONIST a, Lansing, dlibuster at ST. Paul, and
the Brother Seward Of John Brown in
Kapeas, will not hesitate to claim to be good
conservative, Unionloving patriot in New
York.
Against these wiles Of the demagogue we
warn the people Of New York. He has led
them into path which Is leading them and
their country to ruin. He has stimulated their
passions without cause against the people OF
the South lie has urged the creation Of par.
ties On geographical lines, against which Wash
ipgtoR raised bis patriot voice In warning In
his last words to bis countrymen, and now be
would deceive them for little while longer a.
10 the revolutionary and ruinous tendency OF
the measures be advises Trust me but few
days, give me yosr sweet breath on the 9th Of
November, do not believe what my opponents
lay to our charge, and when We have power
then let the South howl. But, men Of New
York, II IL the warning voice Of prudence that
comes from the South, bidding you to beware
Of Seward and his attempt TO fasten foreign
and hostile government on free and unwilling
people. 1t Is the premonitory mutterings Of
the thunder storm, which you may yet dissipste
If you listen not TO him, but which win over
whelm you and all Of US II you give heed to
his coupsels.
INFLUENCE oF THE NEGRO vorE on THE
PRESIDENTIAL CoNrEsr.-The Supreme Court Of
the United States having decided that the con
stitusion does not recognise negroes as citizens,
II is clear that they cannot legally vote for
President and Vice President Of the United
States. A State may confer the right Of suf-
frage on dumb animals II Il chooses; but II can.
