It appears that our article of two weeks ago, on the subject of Mr. Buchanan'? ex pression, that "he uns under no obligations to old line Whigs, for voting for him," has waked np the 'Legal Committee,' in the iast week's Gazette, in which they attempt to empbio it away! It won't do, gentle men, be did make the expression, and we can prove it! In the first place, in their ar tide they lie by asserting that the gentle ruen, Messrs. William Hartley and Wm. ReDshaw to whotn Mr. Buchanan used this language, are old lino Whigs Mr. Win Hartley left tho Whig party two years ago, which we can prove, and Mr. Renshaw, in our presence, before several other persons, stated that he joined the Locofoco party several yean? ago. The gentleman who heard Mr. Buchapun wake the remark, is no "oves-droppeiy' but *pe of our best and most respected citiz££B> an< * ' ,are *° r d> will go as far as tbc affirmation. He was setting in bis outdoor, and beard Mr. Buchanan, who i> * p n blio man, and a candidate for the highest offit J in the gift c.f the people, state publicly' 0" entering his carriage, that "he iocs under no obligations to eld line IVhigs He af terwards simply asked one of these Locofo eo, Mr. Hartley, what Mr Buchanan meant by this remark, and his reply waa, "that Mr. Buchanan, was remarking the IV hig party is dissolved, that they have no candidate uf their own, t hat consequently they must vote for him, and that he is under no obligations to old line IVhigs for so do ing! This is true! Mr. Hartley in ex plaining the matter to u, in presence of several other persons, admitted the same thing, and if the ''Legal Committee" of the Gazette eouie out and deny that Mr. Bu chanan did say that he was under no obliga tions to old lint Whigs for toting for him, .wo will then get up and publish a certificate, signed by a large number of respectable ■Oitiaensofour place, substantiating aM that we have herein written. We dare iheiuto do it' We will abo prove dut DT. C. N*. Hickok another supporter 'of Buchanan, stated that Mr. Buchanan did make the same expression to him. Now, gentleman, deny what we state, and we will substjtQti- j ate it by proof strong as holy writ! Under these circumsttnoes, old Hue ] Whigs, will you vote for Buchanan, who 1 acute you rith the remark, that "the Whig ; L" IveJ, tbat the Lave DO caa.il - date of their own, that consequently they must vote for him, and that he Is under no obligations to old line Whigs for so doing?'' We hope, and believe, no old line Whig will be guilty of so doing. Whigs know that James Buchanan was one of the per sons who caused the "dissolution" of the Whig party, that he is the author of the fonl charge of Bargain and Sale on Henry Cl&v-rthe father of the Whig party — that he caused the defeat of the illustrious Clay, fcv stumping Pennsylvania in 1844, and proclaiming to her 'citizens that "Polk wss a bettor Tariff man than Clay!" They know all these things, and knowing them, they will not vote for their peattst cneniv, who has the contemptible meanness to taunt them with the remark,that "the Whig party is dissolved, that they have no candi date of their own, that consequently they must vote for him, and that he is under no obligation a to old line Whigs for so do- | ing."' Great Outpouring of tke People! of IS4O Agß^'j According to notiee published in Just , week's paper, the freemen of Bedford Coun ty assembled in Mass Meeting in the Ct art House, on Tuisday evening last. Early in the afternoon the town began to fill up. A largo procession, numbering from Gftv to j seventy-five persons, in wagons and ear ' riagos. came in from good old West Provi ! dcnce, accompanied with banners, and the j soul stirring sounds of the fife and drum.— Wagons, carriages, men on horseback and j on foot, poured in from every direction '. — ; Locofocoisiu was utterly dismayed—terri fied and chop-fallen ! —and well they might be, for in it rlu-y sec their doom iu Bedford County, in October and November! At the ringing of the. bell the vast concourse in town, began to move towards the Court House, and soon it was crowded to its ut i most extension; the bar was crowded, the side jury rooms were crowded, and the house was reaily rammed and jammed, to its utuiosi extent. Never before on any o casion, since tho erection of that building, was it so crowded—even some of the ter rified Locofocos admitted this fact. The greatest enthusiasm was manifested, and the determination upon every American freeman's face there, to give Locofocoisui a tremendous thrashing. Even the beys have the spirit up, and promise in the fu ture to do their share iu the glorious and patriotio battles against foreign papistry, and Buchanicring Locofocoisoi. j The meeting was organized, by the ap i pointment of Maj. LEMUEL EVANS, of ! Broad top, as Chair man, and John Smith, Esq., Jdo. S. Ritcbey, Esq , Charles Mc- Laughlin, Esq .Jesse grove, SamT Shafer, and Charles Smith, Vice Presidents ; andWiiliatnOverockcr and Sarn'l J. Castner I ! Esq., Secretaries ; and David Over, Isaiah Conley, Wat. Figard, John A. Gump, and John McVieker, Esq., were appointed a Committee to drattßesolutions expressive of the sense of the meeting. After the organ ization of the meeting Gen. WM. 11. KOONTZ, of Somerset was called on,and re sponded in a speech of over an hour in du ration, in which he showed up Locofocoism jo nil its naked deformity—in its violation of its plighted faith in repealing the Mis souri Compromise line, the outrages com mitted at'its instigation in Kansas; spread ing of Slavery over territory now free, by the brute force of the bor tier ruffians of Missouri, and elsewhere, led on by the U. S {soldiery. Mr. Koontx was listened to with marked attention. He is an able orator, ; and high honors are in store for him. Hon. O. P. CORHMAN of Philadelphia, 1 was then introduced to the meeting, and I delivered one of the most powerful and ef. fecttO* speeches wo ever listened to. That m >hty (MJtconrse of people were spell bounds appeared to drink in every word of B P°^ C tbe merits of ot!v #tandd bearers Fillmore and Donelson, tbc * i,al principle of Americanism, and t0 faots to show the necessity of the a' <irat ' on oßr ua " turalization laws, and in ta ot m tbo great leading questions of tbe His speech abounded throughout wx. b fl'gbt# j of oratory seldom surpassed. It wv 7 * < *" mitted by all that he i- one of the ablv ' orators in the State. FRANCIS JOBDAN, Esq./WAS then oalUd on, and responded in an efeative speeoh, as lie always does, supporting Fillmore and I>onclsoo, and proving from the records that the Locofoco party and Mr. Buobanan, have always broken their pledges, are un. safe and ooght not to be t mated, and that Mr. B ichanan has been on every side of every publio question, and refrcr anything Jong. Bo was followed in a short and spirit ed -pseob by Dr. COMPHEB. We would bear say that if Mr. Wilson Keilly bad been here and noticed the differ ence lets-ecu this meeting and the one of the night before, he would tremble in his Loo's, and be w no ways astonished, that we claim frctn 200 to 6CO iu ths Coo at y We will only be supriaed new if it is not more. This meeting was decidediy, and admitted by all to be the largest meetiug ever held in Bedford County. Quito a number of spirit-stirring songs were sung by the "YOUNG MENS' AMERICAN GLEE CLUB." Locofoco isrn .can't bring forward anything to match their music. The drums and fife also en livened the occasion. The Committee then reported the follow ing Resolutions, which were adopted with three more cheeis. The meeting then ad journed with three hearty cheers for the cause and our candidates. Whereas, An important State and Presidential election is rapidly approach ing, it becomes the duty of every Ameri can to consider the measures and men placed lefore them for their approval or re jection. Therefore be it Resolved, That the American parly of Bedford county, in Mass Meeting assem bled, condemns in the most emphatic terms, the Repeal of the Missouri Compromise, be lieving that from this act flows all the bit ter anamosities which now agitate and threaten the durability of the Union— that the Locofoco party is entirely respon sible for this violation of plighted taith, between the North and the South—a Com promise passed by the best patriots in the Union, and which was intended to forever put to rest the question of slavery. Resolved , That James Buchanan, who lias been nominated upon the principles of the Cincinnati Pro-Slavery Buchaneering Platform, is an unsafe and unreliable per son to entrust with the destinies of this na tion, that his support of that Platform and the repeal of the Compromise ?f 1820, places him in the same eatagory wi:b Pierce .Douglas, Richardson, and their aiders and abettors, and allcqually unfit to be trusted Li ii'.y lover of the peace and perpetuity r,f the Union. j Resolved, That we cordially endorse and ratify the nominations of the American convention which met in February last, in Philadelphia. „That in Millard Fillmore, we have an able and reliable statesman, with whom wo can safely entrust the ship of State, one who lias often been tried and never found warning, and in every way worthy the support of Americans. That in Andrew J. Donelson, we have a candidate whose earlv training, unquestioned integri ty, and past public services, furnish assur ance that he is worthy a place en the Amer ican national ticket. Resolved, That we are now, as evp, in favor of the great and fundamental princi ples of the American party, believing that time and experience, will satisfy every true and loyal American of their necessity—that so lor.g as we arc a party we will earnestly contend for the principle, that "Americans only should rule America" the extension of our naturalization laws—the separation of Uhurch and State—and opposition to the landing of Foreign paupers and criminals on our shores. Resolved, That we are opposed to the principle advocated by Mr. Buchanan, thai wages should be reduced to the European standard—believing that the honest, hard fisted workine man, should be amply com pensated for his laboT. That we are oppo sed to the doctrine set forth bv Mr. Buchan an in his Ostcnd manifesto, to purchase Cubs, but if Spaiu would not sell, to take it by conquest —believing the object to be to acquire more slave territory; and upon the robbers plea, that might makes right. That bis denying his citizenship to save a few dollars, his share of taxes, necessary for the purpose of sustaining the honor and glory of the state, renders him unworthy of support on the grounds of State pride. Resolved, That we have full confidence "in Gov. Pollock, and take pleasure in en dorsing his able and patriotic administra tion . Resolved, That wc ratify and endorse the Union State ticket. That in Messrs. Coch ran, Phelps and Laporte, we have able and trustworthy men, and every friend of the American party, as well as every other op ponent of Locofocnisin, should use every honorable exertion to insure their trium phant election-, and thus pave the wav for the defeat of the Buebanier* in November. Resolved, That Joseph Pumroy, Esq., of Juniata, our candidate for Congress, de serves the cordial support of every Ameri can—he is honest and capable, and a man of clear head and sound heart, and will make a faithful and reliable representative in our national Councils. Resolved, That W. W. Sellers, of Ful ton County, and John Pringle of Cambria County, our candidates for the Legislature, are safe nd reliable men, well worthy the confidence of the people, and that we will use our best exertions to secure their suc oess. Resolved, That the American nominating Convootion acted wisely in placing before the people the following strong ticket;— For Associate Judge, Wm. Griffith; Sur veyor, Daniel Sams; Commissioners, Alex. Davis and John Blackburn; Poor Direc tor, John Metzgar, Auditors, Andrew J. Reighart and Jesse Akers; Coroner, Sain uelSnively—and|that we hereby ratify and endorse the above nominations, end pledge their election by a largo majority. RIDICULINCT THE GERMANS. The Bedford Gazette of last week Las an article in which it states that the Germane wb® will vote for the American or Repub lican ptrty, " a re not fit to live in a civilix ' ct J country." This is the way with the Lo cofoOv ** cao 3 EL l^c Germans or SDV other da** **V ei B ncrß to vote for them, they are th% best a most orderly eitisensj in the Unites S ,3t cs, bat let them act in dependently and !O e m:a ' antl vot ® for an J other parjy, and they ar3 w *> r <rt people in the land, and 'not fit v"* * oivilixed oonotryl' When will the s *nd all other foreigners learn these tlx 1 ? 8 * a n.d aot upon them? \ We publish this week, by reqnev'f of some of our subscribers, an article from th® Hotlilaysburg Whig, ia refutation of the alandc against Hon. Char. Sumner, wbioh the Gazette copied last week frpiu the Hnl lidaysburg Standard. BEDFORD INQUIRER AND CHRONICLE. <l At the Hopewell ineeiing, in reply to a remark from Mr. SCHELL, touching this point, Mr. Kiug said that the Fillmore men only asked 7 electors, and that they got all they asked. Mr. King, it will be remembered, was a delegate to the Con vention which selected what 19 called the Fillmore electoral ticket."— Jitdfoid Ga~ zrttr. to pronounce the above a of lies from beginning to end, a* he nivcr said anything of the kind in his life. To what desperate means the Locofocos resort to bolster up their rotten and sinking cause! They say that this prominent Fillmore man has said so and so, and mat auoiher has turned for Buchatnn or Fremont; hut believe none of them, for lying and slander is tbeit game now. They feel that Buchanan is doomed, and what affects them more personally they know that they will be awfully licked 'n this Count v. The Fulton Rtpublican deuies positively that I)r. S. E. Duffield is a Fremont man, and states that he is for Fillmore and DOll - It ought to know, as it is published 111 McConnellsburg, whore the Doctor re side*. How the Locofocos do lie! FCNNY! —The Locofocos are trying to make out that Fremont is a Catholic, be cause lie was married by a Catholic priest. James Buchanan comes to Bedford, and the only Clergyman he visits is the Catho lic priest. We think this is rather suspi cions. Is he about to join the Catholics,or is their vote only to be sold? That's the question. Our Locofoeo friends are informed that we are in for the campaign, aul they may rett assured, that we intend to.put her through. The Locofoco meeting and Mr. Wilson Ilcilly, shall be noticed in our next, as wc arc too bu-y to attend to them this week. The nincom-poop that John Cessna his kept from starviug for the last four or five years, shall have a special notice from us next week. JO ur Hollidaysbur<r Correspondence.} fIoLUDAYSBURO; Sept. 1, 185G- Mr. OVER: —Perhaps it would not be amiss to give your numerous readers the various items of news transpiring in and about this place, siuce quite a number of the patrons of the Inquirer and Chroni cle are more or less interested in all sub ject matter pertain ing ( to the welfare, prog ress, and development of the ancient, or if you please, modern town, that but a few months since was considered "finished,'' in the most significant definition of the phrase, save the "fencing iu and whitewashing," to make use of a term "once upon a time" applied to the "Ancient Borough" by a le gal gentleman of "importaut dimensions." Iloliidaysburg, contrary to the expecta tions of some of the best informed, is ad vancing rapidly, and vigorously, and with out the least visible decay iu any depart ment, save operations upon the Canal. Its markets are unhesitatingly in a good condi tion, and stocked with as safe and reliable buyers as any other town of the game capa city, in the interior of the State, thus af fording the farmer one of the most impor tant advantages that he can desire. Two furuaces now in course of construc tion, will shortly be put in "blast," which will prove a vast acquisition to the already crowded state of our population and the advancement of business. The furnaces are models of architecture, and certainly will vie with any similar establishments I have ever seen. I believe a third was con templated,hut doubtless has "fell through," to use a significant term. A few days ago onr community, especial ly the monied portion, was greatly con. vulsed, caused by the failing of the Franks town Furnace, under the control of Messrs. Moore, from Huntingdon. These young men have been exceedingly unfortunate in this investment; whether it failed through mismanagement or other causes, 1 have net been able to learn; tbeir liabilities exceed ed SIOO,OOO. For the last six month?, Uollidaysburg ; has been the scene of some of the most bor i rible, soul-stirring, damning acts that have i ever been perpetrated in a civilixed coni i munity, and for which I think the citizens are more or less to blame. Within the last week we have had two cases of stabbing and cutting. Even the holy Sabbath was pro. faned by a Cgbt, wbicb resulted in two men being sadly out. When are theso atroci ties to cease? I fear not until the citizens determine to put a stop to the vending of such large quantities of spirituous liquors, aud the establishment of an efficient police. Rowdyism is exhibited here in all its lep rous oolors—and a more dastardly and vil lainous set of wretches do not live, I think. Armed to the tectb with pistols, kojvesj and bludgeons, they are to be seen and heard at all hours of the night. Political meetings at* {be order of the day, in almost every section of the county — Repablican, American and Democratic.— Scarce an evening passes over our beads but we are invited to attend a lecture—on politics of course—lo bear some famous or stytnjsr.;. Our brgus Democratic friend* have invented a new dodge bore and plactid it in the mouth* of all their speak ers. trr the effect, that James Buchanan is a better Free Soiler than John C. Fremont. Shades of '44 take heed. The Union Senatorial Conference for this district, composed of Blair, Hunting, don and Cambria, met at Altoena, on the 28th ult.. and nominated A. C. Mullin, for merly of Bedford county, now of Cambria, for Senator. Mr. Mullin is a young man of ability, and is undoubtedly the most pop ular tnan in Cambria county; he is popular with all faction*, save the White faction. Unfortunately Mr. Mullin was one of the editors of the Jllleghanian during the cam. paign of '53, when Col. White was running lor tie same office, and contiary to Mr. Mulliu'a wishes, that paper was forced into an opposite cause. It is surmised in cer tain quarters, that the IVhtg of this place 5 will oppose his election. I hope this is mere rumor, since a course so opposite to what is to be expected, might succeed in placing a member of the Border Ruffian par ty iu the Senate again, from this district.— I he next Legislature is of too much impor tance to think of anything of the kind. SYB. STILES. For the Inquirer and Chronicle. BEDFORD COIIJITT CIRCUS MR. EDITOR: —The groat mass meeting of the democracy held at Pattonsvillc South Wooabcrry Township on Saturday the 23d of August ult., was truly magi ificenf, hav ing been noticed in the Gazette and in pub lic handbills for the last month, together with all the uiu-tering by the leaders of the party, the long expected day arrived, but not the democracy, being only 35 in num ber, at one o'clock the speakers arrived and waited uutil half- past two o'clock, then re paired to the school house in Pattnnsville and organized by appointing a President Secretary The hoDse was called to order, and Mr 0. E. Shannon was called for and took the stand, and let < ff considerable gas?, by de nouncing the Knownothiugs as oath bound traitors going in to tbeir midnight council*, to see the Elephant, and finished up by charging Mr. Wm. Griffith with believing in witches and considerable other twattle, then modestly asks the good old Whigs and Knowno'liings to vote for old Buck. Tbe next introduced was the Wild Child of ibe Forest, Mr. Hall, and he took his text from Leviticus,2sth Chapter, and 44th 45th and 46th verses,from which hepreacb ed a sermon in favor of human slavery, showing that it was Scriptural, (showing in plain terms that they are in favor of the extension of slavery into KaDsa*, and to other territories and states new free,) he then spoke of the candidatoa, Mr. Fremont as an Abolitionist and disunionist, then of Mr. Fillmore as the gentleman and scbol lar and the Model President but ot the same time asking the votes of the old liue Whig* and Know Nothings to vote for Mr Buchan an, the mau that has slandered their beloved and lamented Clay and Webster. Next on exhibition was the Orangoutang from Texas, Mr. Hartley, be was in favor of the South and the extension of slavery, showing that the Southern Soldiery had no other place to locate their lanl Warrant?, and considerable whining for Southern in terists. Next in the ring was the Bubv Elephant, Mr. Tate, asking the good old Whigs and the ur.ionloving Know Nothing? all to vote for Mr. Buchanan. Next w;s the after peace, by I.aper Beer Swetchicle ou a very short dutch speech, something about Liger Beor, and Pretzels in Germany, and said that James Buchanan would havte it that way in this coautrv. Thin Mr. Editor is about the sum and substance of the great Democratic Show, and from what I can learn, it is the best way for those men to exhibite all over the country and that will make more votes for Fillmore, than anything else 1 know.— If they had only exhibited the Sea Calf, commonly called Bowman, there would been at least twenty votes more for Fill more, but they were afraid of scaring what little audience tbey had. YOUNG AMERICA. From the Blair County fVhig. 1 BASE SLABBER REFC TED!! | QOQ. Charles Sumner vindicated from the infamous publication made through the Uollidajsbnrg Standard on the authority of Coi. David H. Uofim. Below we give a letter from Dr. R. M. S. JACKSON, of Cresson, placing the facta of a certain conversation at his residence between llou. Charles Sumner, and Col. D. H. Hofius, of this place, which places the infamous language of the Ilollidaysburg Standard iu its proper light. Dr. Jackson has been a life-long Democrat, and we are certain that BO man will doubt bis honesty er character. Read the letter, as it speaks for itself : O&EHSON, August 29, 1806. To MAJ. G*O. RATMOND, SIR The laws and usages whioh are recognized to hold good among all civilized persons with regard to the sacred nest and decorum of the private household, 1 had supposed were generally underttood and appreciated by men olaming to belong to decent socie ty- A reoeut vulgar expose in the Hollidavs burg Standard of a private conversation, purporting to have occurred beneath my roof, between a certain party and lion. Charles Furaner, of Massachusetts, now a guest and patient at my bouse, I am con strained to pronounce a tissue of stupid, bighl v indecent, and urgentleman/y state ments, wholly iranling in the vital substance of every uttereoce claming the attention of decent men—namely, common varaci- The party all uded to came to the moun tain and requested an introduction to Mr. Sumner. This was an easy achievement, a* he is constantly approciiable to every person wishing to see him, sod a gentleman famed for his amenity of manners and perfect courtesy in his intercourse with all men.— In the course of the conversation the fol lowing words were tittered as nearly as can be recalled by several persons present, among them myself: Mr. Hofius, in the conversation, ittemp- I ted to uphold the South, declaring that the | was infringing on the rights of the [ South, aod that there were people with us who will not allow that, to be done. To this Mr. Sumner gave a calm denial, am] in ; the convcraatuon stated that the South now : governed the North, and that it was done by ! such fatal admission* as Mr. HoSua had ' made. lie furthev sfateted that John Ran- I dolph, who was an honest slaveholder, and i understood how the country w governed, openly declared, "we have governed you and we will govern you through the white slaves of the North." He likewise re- j peated Randolph's declaration to Josiah j Quiney, stating that when Qumcj told Ran dolph that the North in solid phalanx i would resist the aggressions of the South, | Randolph replied, with a sneer, ''the South j are assure of your Democracy as they are i of their own negroes " Upon Mr. Hofius taking exception to tho phrase "white ' slave*," Mr. Sumner remarked, "that it is : not uny language—it is the languagp of an j old Democrat and Slaveholder. I never j call names, or use such language." Mr. j Sumner being feeble and indisposed to talk ! the conversatiou ceaaed. and was afterwards i carried on with Rev. Mr. Furness and others. This conversation eouiain* the substance of all that transpired, and its garbled re port in the Standard will meet the unquali fied derision of just and gentlemanly men of all political parties. That Mr. Sumner uttered such words as, "that the Whigs and Democrats of Pennsylvania were white slaves, and flint he should glory to Fee them brought to the block, and disposed off under the auctioneer's hammer." or that he 'show ered abuse of the foulest kind ur>on Penn sylvanians indiscriminately,*l am contain ed ao'emuly to aver is no so land the state ment carries upon Sta face, self-evident to all reasonable men the shame and infamy of a malignant falsehood. The quotations from John Randolph, a? a great representative of the institution un , der discussion, were made by Mr. Sumner i as applicable to the whole North, to New i York and Massachusetts as well as to Penn j sylvania. Mr. Sumucr said nothiug about j Pennsylvania, but that he hoped she might be saved, after the formula of political re demption of which he he is a devoted apos j tie and august impersonation, j Any allusion to the brains of the parlies holding this conversation, whether shocked by clubs to softness or pickled by whiskey '■ to hardness, would be entirely discourteous in the proprietor of the rights and dignities [ of the "private household" and the common j host of the parties holding the discussion. Resides it would undoubetdiy be considered by the acquaintances of both parties a work of the most entire supererogation. Justice to all men, with a rigid appre hension of duty, as the proprietor of a small homestead in the Allegheny mountains, and the natural protector of its inmates from the malignity if their enemies, have been the only motives for giving to the public tho above statement of the facts of the case Yours, Truly, R. M. s. JACKSON. * Kansas—JLatest. Various rumors are telegraphed from St. 1 Louis (Aug. 30,) about Kansas affairs.— One is that 3000 Missouri volunteers had assembled in the vacinify of Westport and Kansas city, intending to march in different detatchnu-nts, on both sides of the Kansas river west to Topeka. Col. Atcheson com-' raanded tbem, Co\ Doniphan second in ' command, and Capt. Reid adjutant. Gen. ' Richardson had marched north to intercept i the free State reinforcements through Nc- J bi&ska. Lane's party were fortifying their po sition on the Wakarusa. Their main body, about "000 strong, were near Lawrence.— Provisions here wers scarce. It is rumored that the free State IUCO had captured l'ecumiieh, and that the pro-alaverv men had 30 killed. General Point ov Amongst the number lO,OM LABORERS WASTED! AT TEX CEKTS A DAY!! Rend the fallowing extracts from a speech . of Mr. Buchan&n, in the United States Sen- I ate, in 1840, in which he advocated the re. j Auction of wages to the European standard! We understand the Locofocoe, in case Mr Buchanan is elected, intend to put down the price of labor to ten cents a day tmme diately. They now want 50,000 laborers at ten cents a day to try the experiment on! i Won't some of our hard filled laboring men apply to Mr Buchanan at Wheatland for ' 'be situation without delay* Here's bin arguments in favor of the re duction ln Germnny. where the currency Is purely metallc, and the cost of everything is REDUC ED to a herd money standard, s piece of broad cloth can be manufactured for fifty dollar*; the manufacture of which, in our country from the expansion of paper currency wouid cost one hundred dollars. Tie- foreign French and German manufacturer imports this cloth into our country and sells it tor a hundred. Does not every person perceive that the redundancy of our currency is equal to a premium of one hundred per cent, in lav or ol the manufacturer. "No tariff of protection, unless it amounted to prohibition, could counteract these advanta ges in favor of foreign manufactures. 1 would to Heaven that I could arouse the attention of every manufacturer of the nation to this impor tant subject. "What lathe reason that, with all these ad vantages and with the protective duties which our laws afford t< tire domestic manufactnre of cotton, we cannot obtain exclusive possession ol the home market, and successfully contend for the markets of the world? if is simply l,ecause we mmintactnre at the nominal prices of our owu inflated currency, and arc compelled to sell at the real prices ol' other nations.
