'flits, together with other mnirepresenta tions equally unfounded, susostated for the time being in effecting the overthrow or the Democracy. Within less than a year after that result, the people discovered the mipe eitions winch had been practised on them, and there in now not to be found on the Statute-hooks oue measure of general inter-' est which was enacted by the Congress which was elected during the BSI* temporary de lusion in the'popular mind which caused the defeat of the Democretic candidate for the presidency. 11:sperienco has so fully yindi cited the wisdom of the independent-treas ury. system, that it has become the settled policy of the government, tea no man bf I l any party is insane enough to propene to disturb it: But whilst all men of all parties freely acquiesce in the independent-treasury policy, there are some who indulge tho illu *try „idea, that bectume the people were [ cheated in 1840 by the false clamor - about [ low wages they can be cheated again in 1846 I in the same way. As it was on a palpable misrepresentation of a epeeoh of Mr. Buchan ,an in support of the independent-treasury law that the' charge as to the reduction of I wages was made, tt is supppaed that p ow; when ho is the Deniesratte: muldidate kir the' presidency, the same charge-May he ^Medd ; and pressed with equal sum.* ho far from' objecting to the reetiwal of thlikoaluirtny, we are rather disposed to thank tint 'Skeen Gat -cite, of New Jersey, and cream kindred pewits, for the opporturiig Wltineh th e y af forded us of Situlicating Mr. Bushiniit's claims to wise statesmanship in the support of that measure Which has become part of the settled policy of the government. The "ten cent" charge hail its origin in this wise: On thel2d of January, 1840, Mr, Buchanan delivered a speech in the flahata in favor of the independent-treasury bill, reply to one by Mr. Clay, of Kentilohy, against it. In that speech Mr. Buchanan' discussed the measure in its Practiced bearing upon, the manufacturing interest and upon the currency. n fle summed op the leading otojectitef the indepeolentry is AA 'twit : • !"".;- •'•-• • this Vs& rlelipioney from tlie Wreck o the banking System, and to always have it ready to pro mote the peoeperity Of thti country in peace and deeend 'tin war. Incidentally, howe'rer, it. will do home good in chetking thiextravagant spirit of speculation, which is the bane of the country. In the first place, by requiring specie in all receipts and expenditures of the gee vermnent you will create an additional de mand for gold and silver to the amount of dye million of dollars per annum, according to the estimate of the l'resklent. A large' portion of this sum will be Alrawn from the banks, and this will cog' hl them to keep more specie in their vaults In proportion to their circulation and -deposites, and to bank !est. This so tar as it May go, will strike at the root of the existing evil.

What is the condition of the importing business at the present moment I It is shast exclusive. lo In the hands of British agents, who sell all the manufactures they CID dispose of in other i tiorttons of the world, and then bring the residuum here to glut our markets.

Mt. Buchanan regarded the United States Bank as the antagonist proposition, and on that subject he spoke as follows; - u frka.a sek attax h idiculwl Use bat 41te establishment of a new bank of the United States could pnivedaverons to civil liberty. Such a hank, with a capital of front fifty to a hawked millions of dollars, with branches in every State of the Linton, dimming, by its expanaions and contractions, when maces sliotikl rise and a hen they should fall, would be a most tremendous inatrUment of errs= ponsible power. If' wouy be a machine as the fancy . of some gentlemen has painted it.. There is it natural Albano° between wealth and power. Mr. Itandelphrtnte said, • Male and Tentahi created ho them.'

Had he not enjoyed more personal popularity in this country than any man ago ever lived, these (Alerts would have proved irresistible. As it was, the obathet WILY of the most portentions character, that shook the Union to its centre. Indeed, the bank, itl one time, would, in all human pro bability, have rained the victory, had the election of the Preaident chanced to ocour at ' that period ; and we should then hare wit nessed the appalling spectacle of the triumph of the hank over the rights and liberties of the petiple. The constitution of the country and the Democratic part," would then have been prosta sled "ugether." In regard Cu the influence of vices as re sulting !loin en adlated piper currency ou die saanuitiaturing interest, Mr. Buchanan made these remarks : "Sir, I solemnlybelieve that if wecoidd but reduce this inflated paper bubble to anythiug like reasonable dimensions, Ne* k;o4lowl would become' the most prosperous Manure.> turing country that the aun ever shone upon. Why cannot we manufacture goods, mod es p eN ially °ottani goods, which will go into a-ov ens/dui competition with British inuitufac tures in foreign markets I Have we not the tr7l7capital ? thy* we not the huhu- WIAII we not the machinery I And, Abets all, are not our skill, *new and en terprise proverbial throughout the world Land iv ea.. vb......rve leers men in arty' other country on the face of the earth. Wo pos ttest every advantage *Melt Providenco can bestow upon us for the manufacturing of oott ton ; but they are all counteracted by the folly of man. The raw tutorial coats us leas than it does the 'English, because' this is an article - the price of which depends upon foreign nutrkets, and in not regulated by our own inflated currency. We, therefore, save the freight of the cotton across the Atlantic, and that of the matinfactered article on its return here. What is the reason that, with all these advantages, and with the protectite duties which our laws afford to the dorries tic manufacturer of cotton, we cannot obtain exciusivo posseitiot of the home market, and successfully contend for the markets of the world I It is simply because we man ufacture at the 'nominal prices of our own in flated currency, and are compelled to sell 4 the real prices of other natious.

It was as follows ; "We are also charged by the senator from Kentucky with wdesire,to reduce the w ago; of the poor man's labor. We have been often termed agitators on our make of the house. It is something new under the sun to hear the senator and his friends attribute to tag it de ',ire to eleviati the wealthy marinfsdurer at tli,a.oapense ofthe laburhiK nian,and the me chanic. From my soul i respect the labor ing man. labor is the foundation of he wealth of every country; and the flee lalsners of the North deserve re:fix-et both for their pro bity and their intelligenee. Heaven forbid that I should do them wrong ! Of all the countries on the earth, we ought to have the roost consideration for the laboring man. Prom the very nature of our itistitutions, the wheel of fortune is eonstantly revolting and producing such mutations in property that the wealthy man of to-day may become the isior labour if to-morrow. Truly wield' M t •ii takes to itself w ings and II es* i ay. A large fortune rat ely lasts beyotul the third genera tion, even if it endure /50 long. We must all know instances of inilivjiluals obliged to Labor fur their daily bresee hose grandfath ers eu'retlli'll of fortune. The regular pro cess of society would tamest seem to consist of the efforts of one class to dissipate the fortunes which they have inherited, 'whilst another class, by their industry and econo my, aro regulaily rising to wealth. We have all. theiclore, a common interest, as it is our cession duty, to protect the nglits of the laboring man ; and if I believed for a moment that this hilt wou l d prove injurious to hint, it should meet uty uuqualified oppo sition. Although this hill will not have as great sit intllich enas 1 eould desire, yet, as far as it goes. it will benefit the laboring man ss much and probably more, than any other class of society. What Mit he oughtipost to desire? Constant employment, regular wa ges, and uniform, reasonable prices for the necessaries and comforts of life which he requires. Now, sir, what has been his con dition under our system of expansions and contractions I Ile has suffered more by them than any other class of gamily. The rate of his wages is 13xedtlail known ; and they are the last to rise with the ini•reusing ex• primmer), and the first to full when the cor responding revulsion occurs. Ile still con tinues to receive his dollar per day, whilst the price of every article which lie conspthes is rapidly rising. lie is at length rdaao . to feel that, although ho nominally earns as much or eyeu. Inure thin h.. 4-1 yet, firtall the increased price of all the ne cessaries of life, he cannot support his faini ly. NN-strips for higher WageS, and the unesay and, rialtell feelings which have at different periods existed among the labor ing classes. But the expansion at length reaches the exploding point, and what does the laboring,insin now 1141ffer 1 , lie is for a season thrortn out of employment altogeth er. Our manufacture% are auttpentled ; our public works areattopped : our pritlite enter prise of difterenekrodi are abandoned ; and, .whilst others are able to weather the storm, he can scarcely procure the MOMS of bate subsistence."
