think they EFT. The advance In gold is for po-
litieal purpose. That must be evident to every
discerning mind. It cou1d not be- carried up-nor
even held in stdtu gro under any other influence.
Treaeon in Wall street to-day is stronger than Uu-

day after election. The gold market is a power
which IL TO be used to carry in Mcclellan; and
when It s, ~ itcertainly will, there will he sore

who have sought disloyal aid to assist them in
bad cause. Onr advice to our Merchants in m sel,
It Ia safer than to hold On.
