INsURREcr1oN AT THE NoRTH.-The New York
Herald, which always claims the fulfllment of its
prophecies, predicts now that in the event of
Abraham Lincoln's reelection, there will be a
revolution in the Northern States. It claims to
be well posted up in regard to the affairs of lead
ing capitalists and business men in New York,
and says they are shaping their business matters
so that they will be enabled to leave the coun-
try in the event of Lincoln's election; that they
regard a general uprising at the North as inev-
liable in case of such election, and that they
will fee the country to avert impending ruin
We may see at this distance from the great capt.
tai centre, that New York City stakes her all on
McClellan's election, and that City alone viii
probably give him so, 900 majority. The mon
led interest Of the city is all opposed to Lincoln
and in favor of Mcclellan. This week the tele-
glaph startles Wall street from its propriety by
rumoring that the great States of Ohio, Penn
sylvania and Indiana had given Republican ma
jorities, and Immediately gold rises again above
200, and government stocks fall in like proper
uon. SrHere can be no other reason asigaed for
this sudden change in the gold market. There
is no reported disasters to ou- forces in the field,
but the reports Federal successes were be-
ing constantly sent from our armies. But
Wall street was looking ahead; Federal victories

tory gives it fit of nervousness that vibrates
and communicates the shock to all parts Of the
land; the banker and the merchant in the West
take their cue from Wall street, and their money
bags open or close in mimicry of that great bus
mess center. The far-seeing and wisest business
men of the nation are what we sometimes call
the gold spectators Of New York City. They
are the capitalists of the country-large holders
of government stocks, and the small fry spec
ulators and capitalists, who have plenty of
money and but little brains, naturally look to
them for guidance and the solution of financial
difficulties When the Wall street capitalists
speak out in a body and define a course to be
pursued in regard to national affairs, the whole
tones hearty Amen. The capitalists of New
York are now combined as one man in jealous
exertions to defeat Abraham Lincoln and elect
their chosen leader, George B. Mcclellan, for
the next Presidency. Lincolns reelection they
urge, would be indicative of financial ruin to
themselves and the certain destruction of Amer
lean Liberty and our Constitutional Govern
ment, while the election of Mcclellan would
indicate the preservation of the Union, the
strict maintainance of all Constitutional guar
antees inviolate and finally confirm them in
their wealth. In short, New York has con-
fidence in Lincoln or the policies he and his
party advocate She looks upon the continuance
q of the present Administration in power as GER
tain to result in general irretrieyable ruin to
the whole country and its free institutions,
while she stakes all upon Mcclellan, and trusts
to him and the principles he advocates to save
the Republic and guide the old storm-tossed
Ship in safety to her moorings. The entire
country, almost, will join heart and hand with
New York and go with a will for the gallant pa
triot, statesman and soldier, McClellan and
thus save the Union and avert the horrible cal
amity of another rebellion with its train of un-
told evils But we here give the New-York
Heralds admonitiOns
''During the political canvass in 1860 we
warned both parties that the election might be
followed by a revolution. Our warnings were
not needed then, and the consequence was that
the election of Lincoln was quickly succeeded
by the secession of the Southern States. Now,
at the opening of the canvass in 1864, we have
the same warning to utter; but it is in regard to
an insurrection at the North The experience
of the past four years ought to have taught the
American people that the Herald does not pre-
dict rashly, and that its prophecies are worthy
of the most earnest attention. When every 9TH
er paper said that there was no danger Of dis
union, we assured the people that disuniOn
would certainly be the result Of Mr. tLincoln's
election Now we as solemnly assure them
that unless careful precautions are taken, q
Northern nsurrection will be the certain result
of Mr.. Lincoln's reelection.
