Important TO Business Men.

Thoughtful business men of all political
parties, contemplate with alarm, the proba
bilities of financial disaster and the prostra-
ton of credit, in the event af change of
administration.
There are few facts connected with the
nominations made by the Chicago conven-
ton, which no one so far as our observation
extends, has attempted to deny. These facts
are briefly as follows - mt..
The Chairman of the national democrati
committee, August Belmont, under whose
call the convention assembled at Chicago,
is the accredited American agent of the
Rothschilds in Europe. Augusta Belmont,
was one of the principle engineers at Chica-
go; it is alledged without contradiction,
that he expended money freely to secure the
nomination of Mcclellan, and that for
months prior to the convention, he was bus
lily engaged in shaping things to obtain that
result.
The Rothschilds have been proverbial for
their interference in the political affairs Of
Europe, which they have been enabled to do
to their advantage, through their immense
moneyed power.
The amount of the debt of the southern
confederacy is said now to be 50, 900, 900, 900
This debt is mainly owed to European CAPT
talists, the RothsckiIds, holding much the
larger amount thereof
Now what connection these matters have
with the future finances and credit of this
country, it is not difficult to perceive. 1t
has already been Swallowed forth i'll various
ways. The RothschiIds are known to be
The especial friends of the southern confeder-
ates; they have advanced money freely for
the rebel cause. They have no interest in
the maintenance of the credit of the north,
and doubtless have more to gain than to lose
by its prostruction August Belmont with
his moneyed influence, is for peace-immedi
ate peace fla peace can be patched up with
the South in any way, so that the confeder-
ate debt should be assumed by the north, or
the credit Of South any way benefited there
by, the Rothschilds would be the gamers of
millions of dollars. The Rothschilds can
therefore afford to have their agent, August
Belmont, spend money lavishly for the &C
complishment of any peace project whereby
the south shall be the gamers.
These ends of tho Belmont peace men, if
even accomplished, will be at the expense
of northern credit Indeed it seems to be
expected by some of the copperhead leaders,
that our present national currency will be
rendered valueless, if that party succeeds to
power Such result was predicted by sew
eral speakers at Chicago during the week of
the convention. A prominent copperhead
said, ''put down the Lincoln administration,
and Lincoln greenbacks will become as
worthless as was the continental scrip in the
Revolutionary war" Mr.. Stanbaugh, a
prominent democrat leader, advocated the
support of Mcclellan, saying when this
war is over, he would not give pinch of
snuff for the 52Os and the 1O40s now
boarded up by the rich" Much other Ian
guage of like import, was employed by
speakers in attendance on the Chicago con-
vention.
| Now we ask every business man, every
farmer, mechanic and laboring man, wheth
or he can afford to have the currency of the
| tod
Who could do business of any legitimate
sort, with the credit of our government
money impaired or destroyed. A worse ca
lamity could not possibly befall the people
In our present condition, it would produce
untold distress and ruin. Yet every one ac-
quainted with our financial matters know
that any injudicious tinkering with our cur
rency, would derange and destroy public
confidence. The Inauguration Of any new
financial policy at the present time would
be hazardous. But it appears from the ex-
pressions of democrats, that they are intent
on a new policy; the hint is frequently
thrown out, that rich republicans hold the
if they suffer by democratic national legisIa-
ton, it is but little consequence. Every
business man of whatever class or profession
has direct interest in the stability of our
national currency and credit, and the only
sure way to maintain it, is, to re-elect Abra-
ham Lincoln to the Presidency
