From the n. I. Tribune, s6th.j
Desperate men adopt desperate erpedlents.
The enemies OF Kepublicanism, having been
trlumphantly confuted before tbs people by
friends Of Free 1obor; having seen In the re-
turns frum Pennsylvania, Iudiaua and Ohio,
whose majorities for Freedom outran our
waEmest hopes, that the common sense OF the
country districts was fully aroused; having
perceived the utter failure Of q fusion which
does not and win not fuse In this 6tate, have at
last played their last card, which will be, Like
all the rest, utterly useless to stay the inevtar
BILE result Of Tuesday week.
A leading jobber lately betrayed the plan,
when he remarked that nothing but q Vail
street panic could save the State: Exactly;
and precisely what has now been attempted
In this city the plot is well understood; but
we will now give our friends at a distance the
key to this whole dIsgEaceful transaction, Of
which the people who pFata most nolsilJ OF
peace and union are the authors and managers.
some ten days since, md It was virtually iniAa-
ted before that at Washington by AF. Cob,
the Secretary Of the Treasury, who Intended DO
to lay his pipe that the Cnited .sdtes fodn xho{d
not be taken. For ten yea1s pas - he Will
knew, no dve per cent loan could have b IN
sold On the I'd Of October at pAs, money L.
Ing alwaJs too dear at that season, .uy ia bn
Of THE banks tightening themselves II orderto
move the cotton. This year the unusually
heavy exports Of produce, which were not d.
ticipatcd By the conspisators, kept monty
cheap, and the loan was promptly sold, to the
profound nstonishmcnt aud dismay Of Seercta-
r Cobband the conspiracy committee
The first move having ludIcrously failed, the
second Was made ready. 4 few gentlemen
largely interested in fusion" aided By some
Southern bankers and STOCKHOLDERS, sub
scribed large sums Of money for Tie purchase
Of each noek .rhieA has la&ly been tsrprn up$,
tie naarkes to dtprrss l. The Herald WIS used
gubzlous letters, dated In various Southern
States, aud with panic leaders, which were not
without a certain effect. But, unluckily for the
plot, every number Of the Herald which exhoit-
ed us all to prepare for the gloomy end pf
things In general, also set forth our greatness
cur and growth Of the country; with which we,
not often agreeing with the Herald, do most
heartily agrte.
The consptsators have also procured the
insertion In various papers Of the statement
that Southern banks have stopped discount
ing. They are not such fools "a that. H., s.
d 7. ought to compliment the common-scnse
Of their allies In this other meannesa little
more highly than that the Southern banks ate
making some ten per cent On their money by
moving the cotton, and therefore they don't
care to lend money at per cent. to shal5y
merchants. They may indeed take advantage
Of the excuse which IL, g., T. d. Co. have per
sistently offered them to repudiate their debts,
and thus the conspiracy will recoil upon It's au-
thors and the first people to suffer will be the
dry goods dealers who give credit to Southern
trade They will lose, and they ought to lose.
They have been as nearly guilty. of treason as
| they dare to be; aud they have done their ut
most to scare the honest, unsuspecting voters
Of this State from doing their duty on the 9Th
Of November. They hare failed. md failed is-
! ANONYMOUSLY. The last despcrate effort to de-
bauch the conscience aud confuse the common
sense Of the Empire State is u wretched botch
and slandeE; aud these political shysters who
! have so foolishly encouraged the menaces Of
| dlsunion, VIII be hereafter the objects Of uni
| ve1sal contempt, as they are now, where their
conspiracy Is laid bare, OF q just popular intlig-
| nation.
