II is impossible to discover anything new to re-
port in the money market. A few lenders took
advantage of the uneasy feeling which has pre-.
vailed for day OF two to call in their loans, but
others are only too happy to lend at per cent.
Certificates of indebtedness are steady at "A dis.
count. Mercantile paper sells at per cent.
Mr. Cisco received about 100000 to-day on de-
post at per cent. Mr.. Chase declines to SEN

able to itselfas the emancipation message
of the president, it has got to wind up this
war in very few months. If slavery
would save itself any rights, it must lay
down its arms in n very short space OF
time. Ithas forfeited everything, aud must
forever remain, if it remain at all, simply a
tolerated institution aud if men at the
North wish to undertake the organization
OF party based upon the old, Unrestricted
slaVepower, let them try it. We assure
them of one thing, as the result of this war,
VIZ that the republican principle of the
restriction of the power and territory of
slavery will be vindicated and established.
The American people, no matter what
their political antecedents may have been,
will never consent to see slavery extended
over another foot of territory, will never
consent to a predominence of the slave
power in the national councils, will never
consent to see slavery more than an un-
willingly tolerated institution. Respect
for the constitution, as it was framed by
the fathers, is alone that whicE will give
slavery peaceful foothold in the States
where it exists. The policy of this nation,
dating tIom the moment of President Lin
coins message, is to be for freedom, and
not for slavery. The government forever
changes front on this question. 1t SAYS
that the abolition of slavery is something to
be desired. 1t opens facilities and points
out means for its abolition by emancipa-
ton. Here stands the administration and
here the party that placed it in power.
Now if the Democrats in Congress and
around Washington wish to confront the
attitude of the government let them try it.
Let them start the old machine and adyer-
tise that it is to operate in the mode sug-
gested and the country will grind them to
powder. The country has learned some
thing if they have not, and will in time
teach them what they do not know
While we think it would be we'll for them
to wait little, we do not make the re-
quest on account of tue government, the
Republican party or ourselves. The ex-
pertinent may as well be tried first as last,
and the rebels at the South aud their sym.
Pathizers at the North whipped out at the
same time. We simply warh them that
the reign of the slave power in this coun-
try is ended, and that any party which un-
dertakes to stand upon the old ground of
the Democratic party will be doomed from
the start.
