Special Advantages Of this Loan.

1t is National Savings Bank, offering a
higher rate of interest than any other, and
the best security. Any savings bank which
pays it's depositors in U. S. Notes, considers
that it is paying in the best circulating me-
dunn of the country, and it cannot pay in
anything better, for its own assets are either
in government securities or in notes or bonds
payable IN government paper.
1t is equally convenient asa temporary or
permanent investment The notes can al
ways be sold for within fraction of their

best security with banks as collaterals for

That in the future a. in the past we will
adhere with answering fidelity to the Union I'M
der the Constitution as the only solid foundation
Of our strength, security and happiness as peo-
ole, and as q framework of government, equally
conducive to the welfare and prosperity Of all the
States, both Northern and Southern. -.
q That this Convention does explicitly declare,
a. the sense Of the American people, that after
sour years of failure to restore the Union by the
expsriment of war during which, under the pre-
tsnse of military necessity or war power higher
than the Consultation the Constitution itself has
been dsrsgarded in every part, and public liberty
and private right alike trodden down and the ma
teriai prosperity of the country essentially i'm
paired Justice, humanity, liberty and the public
welfare demand that immediate efforts be made
for cessation of hostilities with view to an uli-
mate Convention of the States or other peaceable
means to the end that at the earliest practicable
moment peace may be restored on the basis Of the
Federal Union of the States
g. That the direct interference Of the military
authorities of the United States in the recent cleo
tions held in Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri and
Delaware, was shameful violation Of the Consti-
tuition. and q repetition of such acts in the ap-
proachins election will be held as revolutionary
and resisted with all the means and power under
our control.
4. That the aim and object of the Democratic
party are to preserve the Federal Union and the
rights OF the states unlmpalred ana they nerepy
declare that they consider the administrative usur
patton Of extraordinary and dangerous powers not
granted by the Constitution the subvsrsion Of
the civil by the military law in States not in in
sdrrsctlon; the arbitrary military arrest, impris-
onment, trial and sentence Of American citizens
in States where civil law exists in full forces the
suppression of freedom of speech and of the press;
the denial Of the right of asylum; the opea and
avowed disregard of State rights; the employ ment
of unusual test oaths; and tho interference with
and denial of the light Of the people to bea arms
their defence, calculated to prevent restora-
ton of the Union and the perpetuation of gov
eminent deriving its just powers from the consent
of the governed. ..|t-G
8. That the shameful disregard by the Admin
isrstion Of its duty in respect to our fellow cti
zens who are now, and long have been prisoners Of
war in suffering condition, deserves the severest
rsprobation on the SCORE alike Of public policy and
common humanity. 3.
That the sympathy of the Democratic party
is heartily and earnestly extended to the soldiers OF
our army and the sesmen Of our navy, who now
are and have been in the field under the flag Of
their country, aad in the event of its attaining
power, they will receive all the care, protection
and regard that the brave soldiers and sailors Of
tho Republic have go noby earned.

More Lake Disasters.

From the Detroit Advertiser.
The following details of disasters have reached
us since our last issue, together with various in
cidents in connection with these heretofore pub>
lished.
The barque H. L. Lansing, with a cargo Of
wheat. struck on Colchester Reef Tuesday night
and unless since relieved. lies in a very critical
situation. 1t was reported that tug had gone
to her assistance. but with what prospects Of
success we are no advised.
The schooner Forwarder was driven ashore at
Kincardine, Lake Huron, and it is stated will
prove total loss.
The schooner Emma was caught In the gale
near Lexington, Lake Huron, and was driven
over to the Canada side, but was saved from
going ashore by her anchors. She lost overheard
l4o 900 shingles, and her jibs were blown away
She has since arrived at this port, and proceed
ed on to Toledo, with the residue of her cargo.
. The bark Greas West mo. q during the gale
lay at anchor under St. Helena, Lake Michigan
but was driven by shift of wind from h. or an
chorage to prevent going ashore. her foremost
was cut away, which with everything thereto
attached, vent by the board.
Inc tug Dispatch, which went to the relief
the schooner A. j. Rich, on Lake Huron, has
returned TO this port, the vessel having been
abandoned as total loss. Strong doubts are
entertained whether any of the numerous YES
sells ashore alopg that coast will prove Others
wise than total loss. r.
Such was the hight aud force of the seas on
Lake Huron that not more than fifteen minute
elapsed from the time the schooner Fortune
struck ere she was in fragments, aad the whole
of her cargo deposited in the lake The gale
was accompanied with binding snow-storm,
and no land was discovered until the vessel
had reached the breakers and past all hope Of
rescue. ~.
Mr.. Burton, who has just arrived here from
the Canada shore OF Lake Huron, states that a
small vessel came ashore on that coast with all
her hands lost. The name of the vessel was
not ascertained.

The "HereSy" of jeff. Davis.

lcIon tHe hiCuLuOuu wing, Nov. 10.
We have been accustomed to think in this
Southern country that the best friends of
the negroes were their own masters and
that we were bound to withstand the cruel
philanthropy of Yankee craftsmanship. not
only by constitutional principle and State
pride, but also by our duty towards those
creatures who grew up under our care. The
sad destiny OF those slaves whom Yankees
have stolen or otherwise CELEBRATED" has
satisfied US still more clearly that common
humanity required us to stand between orr
negro population and the tender mercies
which are cruel, of their false and perilous
Northern friends. Most Southern men. too
had BATTERED themselves that it was bless
ing to the used-up and WORKOUT negro. at
the end OF his faithful service, to have a kind
master to take care of him. But now tba
President of the Confederate States onens
quite another view of the matter Accord
ing to his message, it is rich reward for
faithful service to turn negro wild SIavI
cry, then, IN the eyes of Mr. Davis. keens
the negro out OF something which he has
capacity to enjoy it depresses him below the
level TO which natu re has given him powers
to attain 1t hinders the development of his
faculties for good it forbids his pursuit of
happiness; Ii the case be SO, then Slavery
is originally, radically, incurable wrong and
sinful, the sum OF all barbarism This ia
what Seward and Sumner say and this
is what Mr.. Davis says after them. They
invoked the Federal Congress to DISCOURAGE
and dlscountenance slavery in the Terrific
rles he invites the Confederate Congress- IN
consider the expediency of beginning to
abolish it in the States.
This will never do The slightest counta-
nance given to those unwholesome notions
may produce worse effects than can be at
once preceived. Not only our invading en-
emies, but those foreign nations which ara
watching our struggle with keen interest
will be greatly struck by the suggestion of
the message, and will look on curiouslv, tn
see how Congress and the country will deal
with ito see whether there was anv real
principle IN our resistance to Federal
usnrpation-to judge whether our zeal for
States rights, and our theory of the Justice
and beneIcence of slavery, were uoth;no
but dishonest sham all the while. and
whether the Northern people and ourselves
are not, IN fact, after all our fighting. one
homogeneous people-one in our principle. or
want OF principle-one in our political and
social theorles-one in our tricky ways-all
slippery ankees together.
Whatever respect for the Confederacy has
beenanpressed on the mind of European ma
tlons-whatever desire now exists amongst
the best OF their people to see us recognized
by the world, and to give our forms of civil
zatlon fair play and an open field to develop
what good may be in tall such feelines
would be extinpuiShed at onoa if fba tbao.
