MessrS; Editors.—--In an advertisement lately published in your Gazette, foe the call of a meeting of Whig young wen,' re cently held, it is stated that one of the ob, jects of said meeting way td.con3idet’“the new* doctrine in this country, receiifly pro claimed by James Buchanan, in the United States Senate, that the brice of free labor of America should he reduced tp the.stand ard ofEuropean despotisms,” The remarks which have caused this doc-, trine to. be imputed to Mr. Buchanan, are contained in the speech delivered by him in the Senate House of the United. States, ori l thc22d January lasi, ‘ oh-.the Independent Treasury Bill,Vih reply to Mr. Clay, of Ken tucky; If there is any other ground for at tributing these views to Mr. Buchanan, lam not-nequainted with it. You are aware, of course, that there has been a wide disagreement of' opinion ns to what wore the precise notiojjSfriisclosed hr Mivßuclianan in that speCch. While Mr. Davis of Massachusetts understood his re marks in the sense tvhich.has been.fixed up on them in the'paragraph which I haveqUot ed above, Other listeners comprehended them differently; and the principal.' speaker, "in lwo_ separate replies to Mr. Davis, wholly denied that he had advanced such principles or that he had pver entertained them. In the discussion of many topics, the im mediate impressions of intelligent and at tentive auditors would in llmmselvpß Hr* evi den.ee, well, nigh conclusive, of the argu ments and views displaced Ay any . speaker. But political economy is a science of such extreme subtlety, and one that goes upon such nice and difficult'distinctions, that the student of even a written yolurne is liable ■imperfectly to apprehend,' and in some ca ses,, wholly.. to . misconceive; .the meaning, which he i& anxiously explaining. These discussions deal in matters widely removed from the common perceptions .of men; and concerned nbouthaye so abstract a shape, that experience would indicate, that in fact,' the'Writer must pos- 1 scss unusual perspccuity, of speech,.and the reader unwonted perspicacity of inmd, if[ some error is not made in apprehending the theory advanced, and some still greater one in carrying that theory forward to its detail ed results. The circumstance, therefore, that one or more of Mr. Buchanan’s audi tory did Dot immediately understand that he was maintaining a different theory from that charged upon him, does not seem to be de cisive proof that such different doctrine was not in fact expressed by him. In this state of singular opposition of sen timent, it. has become a matter of some inte rest, apart from politics, to discover what it was that Mr. Buchanan really did say and moan. I say ‘apart from politics;’ for Ido not perceive that the decision of the ques tion, one way or the other, will have a di j rcct.practical bearing upon the Sub Treasury subject, or on the more general one of the Presidential contest. As an object of the government policy, the effect in question is decisively repudiated by "Mr. Buchanan ,in his replies to Miv Davis;-and the same mo lives whicltcaused the disavowal, will cause it to bo abided, by. As a consequence of the government policy, no such results are con templated by Mr. Buchanan, ns (lowing from the Sub Treasury system; for in the speech itself, he declares the chief purpose of the bill to be the security of the public money, and that the influence which it will have up on banks will be but incidental, and inade quate to.restrain their license. It.is not un til he leaves the direct discussion of the bill, -and towards-the’close-of his speech, enters upon the general question of the currency as connected with trade, that the remarks un der consideration occur. T tru'st that your .candor will not refuse to enquire what arc . the views upon an abstract topic of political economy, actually entertained by the most distinguished member of the administration party. „ . - ‘ • In thiainquiry,,!. shall go'only on the speech itself; The subsequent statements of Mr. Buchanan may be considered, liable to some objections as being declarations/ien dente tile. I shall first, show’ what Mr. Buchanan did not say and could not have meant, and af terwards attempt to ascertain what he did sav and mean. , ; ■ '• That he did, not say . that he'.wished tosce of la6or;at'alhredtrcedrAviH ; ap-; pear,’l think, from these extracts from the speech. , . t “The Senator from Kentucky [M r ClatJ says that the friends , of the: Independent Treasury desire to establish an exclusive, metallic-currency, as the medium of all die, dealings throughout,tireUnjon;’ andiafso to reduce the wages rtf the £oor man’s labor,so that the rich employer may be. able to sell his manufactures at a lower price.' Jfow, sir, I deny the correctness of biith-thesupfd posi lions.” Again:, “We are also charged by, the Senator from Kentucky with a desire* ;to reduce; the Ayages;df the poor mail’s labor. It is Something new underlhesun,'ip hear, the Senator and, his us a desire to elevate -the wealthy manufac turer at the expcnse bf the laburing man and the mechanic. ; JJri^bd|^|jF4|](^^Qiildn^con(eiiiplatc4 in"thc'pai ; aj;raph of the advertisementwhich l.bkve>cited attho beginning of this article, could not hive place unlil the whole ba'nk ;.sygtem.\vas. abolished.

' ■ What Mr. Buchanan did say and meati was Shortly this. ~ / . Ho-contended--tliat n survey-of thecom mercial history of the country during a pe riod of twenty-five years, showed that at certain intervals of tune, (here had occurred sudden rind excessive expansions of the cur rency, attended by a general rise of prices; that consequent upon this rise of prices. Was 'an excess of the national imports over the exports, because the former were rendered profitable and the latter unprofitable:, that. this’ disturbance of the balance’ of trade’ was followed by that-general ruin which, under the present banking system, always results from a serious hostility of exchanges. From this examination of facts lie deduced the ..conclusion that the true method of prevent ing these periodical ruinoits' disturbances of the balances of trade was, to prevent those periodical and transitory rises Jq’ prices, which were occasioned by excessive bank issues. ■ ' - ■ . ~ r . • • The ‘'doctrine” of Mr. Buchanan, there fore, wag not that weougiit iofeduce the prices of labor or of any thing else, below that-average rate whieh they-naturally bear, in the sound state of trade and currency; much less (o-fhe standard of foreign despot isms, but, his doctrine was, that we ought to. prevent that extravagant and temporary rise. ment of the paper currency,'and winch pro fits no-matt,'since it niters thcwhole, scale of nominal values while it threatens ruin to every man by causing a general overtrading. - For competing profitably with foreign na tions,- and yet keeping our wages' of labor far above tfie foreign’rates, Mr. Buchanan relies upqnthe greater .'cheapness'Of the raw material among us, the,greater energy and intelligence of our people; the superiority of our machinery, anti tho.economy'.causeil by a well-orderhd-system of trade and trans portation. That no reduction of wages is required helnw the qrdinary rates they have hitherto borne in the times of healthy trade, is apparent from the fact that during such times .we have always been able to maintain the balance of trade at lcast in equilibria. — The master-evil of hostile foreigif exchanges does not menace us, until the currency is expanded and’prices are risen:, the mischief .existing only at-that time and point, it is thcnmnly that this preventive action is re quisite. No one will suppose that Mr. Bu chanan wishes to make the application of the remedy more extensive than the evil.. The policy of Mr. Buchanan, therefore, is not to render prices less, but to render them uniform. And this appears very fully upon the face of the argument. Those extracts will show his views: I “What is it the laboring man gught most 'to desire? Constant employment, regular wages and uniform reastrnatiTe'prices forthe comforts ami necessaries of life which he requires.”- “So far from Injuring, it will greatly be-, ncfit the laboring maul It will ensure to him. constant employment and regular prices, paid In a sound currency, which of all things i lie ought most to desire, and it will save him j from being involved in miff by a recurrence rof those periodical expansions and contrac tions of the currency Which have hitherto convulsed die country.” The progress of Mr. Buchanan’s argument developes otic peculiar advantage to the la boring man in’that system, of uniformity j w hich he proposes. If the wages of die la ' borer stood with other prices, the general of value would hot affect him otherwise than as the whole natron is affect ed by dig overtrading which it produces.— But it is,the opinion of Mr. Buchanan, that when prices rise from,,enlargement of the currency, the wages of.labdrdo not rise in corresponding degree, or with equal quick ness! “T.h6 rate .of the laborer’s wages,” he says, “is fised and known; and they are ,fhe last tojjse witli .the, increasing expan -sioii, and the first to fall when the cpfres -.ponding revulsion occurs.” ■~T’fi'e scope,of Mr. Buchanan’s argument iii its relation ttf- the laborer 'appears to be this. The generaladvance of prices which attends the occasional expansions of the is a great evil to tho nation at- large (including labours) as it l.eads to general overtrading.

The mistake on the subject of "European despotisms” which has caused the attribution of the sentiment which.is.quotcd at the he ginningrof this paper, has, 1 inlike manner, arisen from not,obscrving at what period-of tijnp in the history of our “vast but ever changing expansion, of the currency, *’ that comparison with foreign countries is made with any disadvantage to America. It will, appear that he declared'those countries to have—an—advantage—overrus-onlyrat'-thosc" times when there is an extravagant inflation of the currency here:. His language is plain, but has not been attended to. He limits the epocirof contrast, % bo(h at the beginning and the end of the argument, in very precise terms. • At the Commencement of that part of the discussion, he says: "Jit particularatagenof our cxpanhlon, we might with justice apply the'.principle which I have stated to our trade with these countries, and assert that from the grout re dundancy of onr currency, articles are man ufactured in France and Germany for one half of their actual cost in this country:” In closing thatbranch of the discussionlie repeats the limitation which he had fixed as to time.' ' '“This, depreciation of our currency is, therefore equivalent to a direct protection granted oyer the domestic manufacturer.” ‘ “The term depreciation fixes’!he application of the comparison to those points ql time at which tile currency has become redundant and prices have risen. - " " In this brief view : of Mr. Buchanan’s ar gument, it has not been the purpose to ex press au way qyjihe ’otjier. ris to views considered. The- object lias been to fix or amend the idstic, not to debate it.— The passages have not been quoted at length. If any man will rend the speech with tins distinction in his mind, it is believed that the whole of the original argument wdl sus tain the discrimination here suggested, and it is farther presumed (liiU-.no candid or reasonable person will feel thafhc is justified in forming or .expressing a decided opinion upon’the subject until ho has. perused the speech. -- -. ■ v '1 make no apology^for asking admission to your colufnns for an exculpation of a politi cal opponent.
