NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-There was an in
creased demand for money here to-day, and
comparatively few transactions at six per
cent. The decline in gold causes feeling
of distrust which induces money lenders to
put notes up to seven per cent, and bears
have been endeavOrlng to absorb as much
money as possible, so as to assist the down
ward movement. There can be no perma-
nent stringency in the money market at
present. Money may be kept close at seven
per cent. for few days by artificial means,
but this state of affairs cannot continue
long in the present financial situation. The
gold market closed at 334. The two ex-

The English papers record, with eX-
nressiOns of surprise at its novelty,
the Richmond Times tells US, the TACT
that several large ship loads of en-
igrants have recently left their shores
for the Southern States. The bulk OF
these emigrants seem to have gone to
Texas, because a belief exists among
FOREIGNERS that not only are political
troubles and civil disturbances at an
end in that State, but they are less
likely to recur there for the future,
than in any other portion OF the
South. The fact that all of these en-
igrants were the best and most respec-
table class of English, Scotch and
WEIGH agriculturists, indicates what a
choice portion of foreign immigration
would seek the South, if our enemies
would only permit the pacification and
repose of our country. If we had
only fair showing, it would soon be
seen that while the North and West
got all the undesirable Teuton ell
ement, that we would get the pick O.

The foreign element which has settled
in the South, though not large, ha
always been eminently respectable

have rushed to the North and West a

The general war preparations now
going on in Europe are beginning to at
tract attention. From the statements
of London letter writer's, all Europe
is arming and preparing for a great
struggle. Russia has made levy en-
maSse, and is making and importing
raw material, and pushing on its rail
way system with great energy Aus
tria is using every effort to have a
peace establishment of 100000 men !;
and a war complement of 100000,
armed with the Remington breech-
loader, and improved artillery
France has nearly million and half
of men, who will be supplied with the
most effective arms now made Prus-
STA, who has army enough, is devoting
her time and treasure to a navy; and
England and the Swiss Republic are
adding to the extent of their armies.
How long the people will supiaely
groan under the enormous taxes the
support of these enormous military
establishments must demand, remains
to be seen.

We cannot urge too earnestly on the
Union men of the county to- go forward and
get registered. The Rebels are straining
every nerve to gain the ascendency in the
State, and if they can accomplish that object
by falsehood and Misrepresentation by
perjury and every species of deception to
mislead the public, no efforts on their part
will be relaxed. 1t is no time now for
lukewarmness and Indifference. Do not
stand back now when Rebels and their sym
pathizers are being registered in. many places
by the tools of treason, whom Gov Swami
has appointed in many of the counties and
in Baltimore city, or You will be recreant to
your duty. The nation is again. threatened
by traitors striving with Presidential aid, to
get into power
We say to the Union Clubs of the county
as soon as formed, your first duty is to hunt
up and have every Union voter registered
Fail not we entreat You to do your duty in
this respect and do it without delay, by see
ing that all loyal names are enrolled among
the voters.

ELKTON, August rs, 1866.
Andy JOhnson's Convention.

Philadelphia, the present week. has been
the scene of one of the greatest political
farces ever attempted in history. Under the
name Of National Union Convention, we
have an assemblage of leading men in the re.
bellien from the Southern States, composed
of rebel generals, colonies, congressman,
ex-vice presidents and ex-ollce holders of
the JEFF Davis government; and the con.
trolling spirits Of the Democratic party, who
set the rebels on to make war upon the
United States Government under the prom.
Use OF support and assistance from that party
in the loyal States. The whole programme
had been arranged by the President and
Secretary Seward and other leading spirits
in the secret; the resolutions which were to
compose the platform OF the new party were
written out and printed in Washington the
men who were to compose the chief actors
in this political theatrical movement, had
their parts assigned them, and no independ
cnt expression Of opinion was to be per-
United in the Convention. As the play was
written and arranged, so it must be acted
The rebel Delegates from the Southern
States understood that their submission to
the dictaton of the President was the price
Of the pardons they carried in their pockets
and the hopes that have been raised in them
of accession to power.
One feature snblimely ridiculous in the
show was the refusing seats to Vallandigham,
Wood and Dean, the very morning stars of
the Democracy. Sufficient fuss was made
over these lights of the rebel party to attract
attention, when to secure harmony they very
patriotically waive their rights to seats, and
all moves on Smoothly. These outspoken
apostles Of treason are excluded from the
Convention, while their fellows who are
stepped in the blood of loyal men to the
shoulders, are admitted-but admitted with
sealed lips. And this congomeration of I'M,
repcntant and unpunished rebels, northern
sympathzers and apostates, bou hit by Ad,
minlstration patronage or the hope ola share
Of the crumbs from the presidential board,
meet IN what they term-by prostituting the
the word-a National Union Convention,
with parts rehcarsed like actors in stage
play, with the hope of deceiying the Ameri,
can people! W. II. Seward and Andre W
johnson are old enough politicians to know
that they cannot palm such a mockery upon
the people for Union Convention. The
Convention represents no constituency, no
principles, save the wishes OF one vain, am
bilious man.
The Democratic party is for a time to be
| swallowed up in this Andy johnson aud JEFF
Davis popular show. Like the Trojan horse,
it is to conceal these deadly enemies to the
Government till it enters the Capital and
then they will spring from the monster armed
pie and renew the struggle for the 'lost
cause" with other weapons than those of the
battlefield. Can this farce be played sue.
cessfully on the American people by Seward
and Johnson? We trow not

Thursday afternoon and the members went
