DEMOCRATIC STRATEGY.

lAO OlhAIE6
We reproduce an old polit-
ical sketch on the subject Of
Banks, as we'll for the humor
contained in it as for the splen.
did manner in which the STRAIT
egy of the opposition is illus
trated. 1t is this "wlld cat
banking system to which the
people are now invited to re-
turn-instead of our we'll seo
cured National Banks-by the
Democracy. The scene repre-
sents a meeting Of the direct
ors of the Patriotic Copper
plate Bank, of Quodlibet, in
the back room of that bank
ing institution, to consider what
was to be done in view of one
of those money panics, which
were so alarmingiy frequent
under the the old system:
Anthony Hardbottle, speak

cautious wisdom natural to
him as a merchant, answered
this question of What was tC

Again asked Anthony Hard

"Six hundred thousand dol

"Then," said Anthony, 6,

violently with his hand. "Nev

AT this moment, confused
noises were heard in the bank
ing room, which adJoined that
in which the directors were
convened. Mr.. Handy imme-
diately sprang from his chair
and went into this apartment.
There stood about thirty per
sons, principally boatmen from
the canal. At their head, some
PAGES advanced into the bank,
was Flanagan Sucker. One
sleeve Of Flan's coat was torn
open from the shoulder to the
wrist; his shirt, of very in
definite complexion, was open
at the breast, disclosing the
|
shaggy mat of hair that adorn-
ed this part of his person, his
corduroy tro wsers had but one
suspender to keep them up,
thus giving them rather lop-
sided set. His face was fiery
red; and his hat, which was
considerably frayed at the
brim, was drawn oyer one ear,
and left uncovered a large por.
ton of his forehead and crown,
which were embellished by
wild elf locks of carroty hue
"Nicodemus" said Elan, as
soon as The Cashier made his
appearance, Eve have come to
make a run upon the bank;
they say you have bursted
your biler." Then turning to
The crowd behind HIM, he
shouted; "Growl tigers!-Ylp!
No?-You don't"
AS Elan yelled out these
words, a strange muttering
sound broke forth from the
multitude.
"What put 1t into your drum.

with great composure, as soon
as silence was restored.
"Nim Porter ses, Nicodemus,

that if you amt busted up, you

have determined on a run"

"D-n the odds!" cried Elan;
"Nlcodemus, we are resolved

Begin when it suits you,'
SAID Mr.. Handy. "Let me have
your note, and | will give you
either silver or gold as you
choose"
"Yip! No?-you don'l!" cried
Elan, with a screeching and
varied intonation which he was
in the habit of giving to these
cant words, and accompanying
them with abundance of grim>
ace, 'd-n the odds about

to our cashier, and united his

informed Mr.. Flam and the
Board of what was going on.
Mr.. Handy no sooner commu.
nicated the fact to them, than
Mr.. Flam, with considerable
perturbation in his looks, rose
and declared that Quodlibet
was in a state of insurrection;
and, as every one must be
aware, that in the midst of a
revolution no bank could be
expected to pay specie, he
moved, in consideration of this
menacing state of affairs, that
the Patriotic Copperplate Bank
suspend specie payments forth
with, and continue the same
until such time as the re estab,
lishment of the public peace
should authorize a resumption.
This motion was gracefully re-
ceived by the Board, and car
ried without a division. Dur
ing this interval, the conspira.
tors having learned, through
their leader, Elan Sucker, that
the Hon. Middleton Flam was
in the house, forthwith set up a
violent shouting for that dis.
tinguished gentleman to ap,
pear at the door. 1t was some
moments before our represent.
atiye was willing to obey the
summons; the Board of Direct.
ors were thrown into a panic,
and, with great expedition, got
out of the back window into
the yard, and made their escape
thus leaving the indomitable
and unflinching president OF the
bank, a man Of lion heart, alone
in the apartment; whilst the
yells and shouts of the multio
tude were ringing in his ears
with awful reduplication. He
was not at a loss TO perform
his duty; but with a dignilied
and stately movement, stalked
into The banking room, ap.

AS Tacltus says. "Non tumul.

and spoke in this strain.

Register, when it comes to talking Of a
fresh Southern rebellion that paper dis.
claims any desire for such an undertak-
ing in language which is plain. In ref
erence 10 Senator Mortons recent
speech, in which he declared his belief
that if the Democratic party came into
power in the Southern States they
would quietly secede, the Register takes
occasion to say that the South has al
ready done all the fighting that it feels
called upon to do for the maintenance
Of its liberties and that any future
rebellion must begin in the North.
With grim satisfaction it asserts that
Grant is now Dictator in New York
and Ohio just as he is in Virginia and
Alabama, and intimates that while it

tempt to bolster up the iniquitous Force
bill by the pretense that the South in

sense. That sentiment of bitterness
against the North exists in the South
ern States is not strange; it is natural
in people who feel that they have been
conquered, though in time it might be
overcome by just and friendly legisla-
tion. But as for any intention on the

more untruthful nor absurd could we'll

THE POPE AND PRUSSIA.

1t is fact that is regarded Of much
significance that the only powerful
government Of the Old World that has
manifested any disposition to exert its
influence in behalf Of the Pope, or TO
take measures to assuage the painful.
ness Of his position is the Protestant
government Of Prussia. A we'll in
formed contemporary, remarking upon
this fact, says, that Prince Bismarck
has lately appealed to the Italian cabi.
net to be as kind and easy with the
venerable Pontiff as possible, and has
received from Florence the assurance
that the utmost respect toward the head
of the Catholic Church will constantly
be shown by the government of Italy.
This assurance is also fortified by the
passage in the Italian Parliament of a
bill guaranteeing to the Pope about all
the privileges and immunities which
could be expected from popular legis-
lative body.
On the other hand, Austria, which
for the past half century has been one
of the bulwarks of Catholicity has now
fallen away from her fidelity. Not
only is the concordat, which settles the
relations between the Papal See and
the Imperial Government in manner
satisfactory to the former, TO be abro-
gated, but the Ministry have announced
in the Parliament their intention to
propose some sort of declaration
against the recently proclaimed dogma
Of Papal infallibility Should such a
declaration be adopted, Austria under
Francis Joseph will become as decided
ly schismatic country as England be-
came under Henry VIII.
