The Tipton advertiser. [volume] (Tipton, Cedar Co., Iowa) 1856-1962, 1860-09-27

The Hon. Henry W. HIlliard of Ala
bama told the assembled Fusionists in
Cooper Institute on Monday evening that
"The day that witnesses the election
of Mr.. Lincoln, if that calamity is to be
visited upon US, will witness convul,
sion which shakes the institutions of this
country to their deepest foundations
Tremendous enthusiasm. Public con-
hdence will expire-stocks will 60 down
property of every description fall sud
denly in value-commerce will feel the
shock as if storm had swept the sea and
rent the sails of mighty ships--and this
grand republican system-this glorious
confederacy of free and powerful States,
seated in friendly alliance upon CONT
nent over which the gorgeous ensign of
the republic streams to-day, the symbol
Of peace, of union, and Of strength
rock as under the throes Of an earth
quake &c, &c.
The cougresated traders and brokers
inside the hall, who heard and shouted
responsive to this, We're perfectly aware
that it was an electioneeriDg sham. Their
acts prove this beyond mistake or cavil
Had they believed one..word of the above,
Stocks would have fallen at least five per
cent last Tuesday. which was the day
after the Maine Election. Did they fall
one fraction? Did our Fusion bankers
and brokers rush to sell out or sell short?
All know that they did no such thing
When the Democracy split with crash
at Baltimore, rendering Lincoln's cleo
ton nearly certain, did United States
Elves, or even Virginia Skies, fall one
per cent! Have not Stocks generally
risen steadily and largely all Summer, in
the face of an increasing and admitted
probability of Lncoln's election Ali
know that they have.
/ If even ten of the hundreds of Wall
street operators who shouted their ap
prevail of Mr. billiards. scarecrow had
any faith in it, they would long since
have put out short" lines of Fedora
and State Stocks to the amount Of mil
lions, making their contracts to mature
right after the Presidential election
Then, if Lincoln should be defeated
they could lose little if anything; while
if he should be elected, and the results
predicted by Mr.. billiard should follow
they could not fail to gain enormously
Never before was there such an opportu
nifty for bearing the market with a mora
certainty of realizing immense profits, il
Mr. billiard is to be believed But tn,
corgregated brokers and outside opera
tors know better They could not be
tempted nor goaded to sell T. s Elves
nor any other sound Stocks, at two per
cent. off currant rates, deliverable the
day after Lineoln's election shall be as
certained Aud, in declining to N Ike
such operations, they plainly confess that
the Bcohoo dodge is an impudent fraud,
in which they are conscious co-operators.
They vehemently applaud slaveholding
threats that the Union will be dissolved
in case of Lincoln's election, for they
trust there are fools whom those threats
will appall; but they have no idea of
being themselves duped by them. The
diabolic mask does not brighten them,
fer they know the toyshop at which it
was bought, and their money helped pay
for it,
1t is now given up that the People
cannot be argued nor coaxed from their
purpose of electng Lincoln and Hamlin !;
SO it only remains to try if they can be
bullied or dickered out of it. Go ahead
with your blue fire and cup and balls,
gentlemen ~. !. Tribune.
