FRIENDSHIP’S POWER.
The cloud that wraps the sky in gloom
And frowns upon tho earth, awhile
Dispelß, and leaves, for brightness, room,
When gentle sunbeams sweetly smile.—
So, when the heart with sorrow seems
To earthly joys and pleasure dead,
A, ray of Friendship softly gleams,
Restoring light and hope instead !
Sweet is the power that friendship may,
Like Angel visits fair, impart, -
To shed a calm and holy ray
Upon the lone and wearied heart—
Dry up the tears, which sorrow makes
From weary eyelids wildly flow,
And lift on wings of seraph light
The heart from earthly cares or woe.
Oh 1 glorioas boon from Heaven sent
To cheer man on his rugged way,
Our mighty Savior gladly lent
To thee a kind, celestial ray !
That thou might steal npon the heart
While in its pilgrimage below,
And, with thy holy light, impart
That peace thou cvcrcan’st bestow.

NR. BUCHANAN’S SPEECH,
(EXTRACTS,)
In Senate, January 22, 1840.
What bus been the iinancial history of the country
for the lust tweuly-live years ? I cun speak with pos
itive knowledge upon this subject duriug the period
of eighteen years since 1 first came into public life.
It has been a his.ory of constant vibration—of ex
travagant elpansions in the business of the country,
succeeded ny ruinous eontraotiuus. At successive
intervals many of the best and most enterprising
men of the country have been crushed. They have
fallen victims at the shrine of the insatiate and in
satiable spirit of extravagant banking and specula
tion. Starting at the extreme point of depression of
One of these periods, wu liud that the country has
been glutted with foreign merchandise, and it re
quires ull our ellorls to pay the debt thus contracted
to foreign nations. At ibis crisis the banks can do
.nothing to relieve the people. In order to preserve
their own existence, they are to contract
their loans and their issues, in the hourof distress,
when their assistance is most needed, they can do
nothing for their votaries, livery article sinks in price,
men are unable to pay their debts, and wide-spread
ruin pervades the land. .During this first year of the
cycle, we arc able to import but comparatively little
foreign'merchandise, and this affurds the country an
opportunity of recruiting itsexhausted energies. The
next year the patient begins to recover. Domestic
manufactures flourish in proportion as foreign goods
becomo scarce. The industry uud enterprise of our
citizens have been exerted with energy, and our pro
- ductiona have liquidated the foreigudebt. The third
year a fair business is done. The country presents
a flourishing appearance. The banks, relieved from
the drains of specie required for foreign export, be
gin once more to expand, and tempt the unwary to
their ruin. Property of all descriptions commands a
/ fair price. The fourth or fifth year the era of extrav
agant banking and speculation returns, again to be
succeeded by another ruinous revulsion.
This wu3 the history of the country up till 1837.
Since then we have travelled tho road to ruin much
rapidly than in former yonrs. Before that
'■period it had required from three to six years to get
up an expansion and its corresponding explosion.—
We have now witnessed the astounding fact that wo
can pass through'all these changes, and even from'
one eusponsiou Of specie payments to another, in
little more than two*years.
It is curious to observe with how much accuracy
you can read the cvcr-chauging condition of this
country in tho varied amount of our importations.—
The year 1836 was one of vast expansion, and pro
duced the explosion and suspension of specie pay
ments in 1837. The imports were greatly diminished
in 1837, being less than they had been in 1836 by
nearly fifty million of dollars, in 1838 they sunk
down to twenty-seven millions less than they had
been in 1837, and nearly seventy-seven millious less
than .they were in 183 b. In 183‘J we had another
expansion, and our imports were forty-four millions
of dollars greater than they had beeu in 1838. This
expansion preceded the explosion and suspension of
specie payments in tho month of October last. Thus
we have become such skilful architects of ruin, that
a single year was sufficient to prepare the late explo
sion.
Tbore never has existed a nation on earth, except
our own, that could endure such rapid and violent
expansions and contractions. It is the buoyancy of
youth—it is the energies of our popuhitiou—it is the
spirit which never quails before difficulties—which
enables us to endure such shocks without utter ruin.
Yes, Bir, a difference iu the amount of our imports,
between the years 1b3(3 and 1838, of seventy-seven
millions of dollars, is sufficient to cxcito the astonish
ment of the world. ♦
W hat causes chiefly operated to produce this speedy
recurrence of the second explosion and tho second
suspension of specie payments ? Threo may bo men
tioned. In the lirst place, after tho bank suspension
of 1837, every person who was friendly to well-regu
lated banks, if such a thing be possiblo under the
present system, ardently desired that the different
State Legislatures might imposo upon them sonio
wholesome restrictions. It was expected that they
would be compelled to keep a certuin amount of
specie in their vaults in proportion to their circula
tion and deposits; that the foundation of a spccio
basis for our paper currency should bc-laid by pro
prohibitiDg the circulation ot bank notes at the first
under the denomination of ten and afterwards under
that of twenty dollars ; that tho amount of their div
idends should be limited ; and, above all, that upon
the occurrence of another suspension their doors
should be dosed at once, and their affairs be placed
in the hands of commissioners. The different Legis
latures met. Much indignation was expressed at tho
conduct of tho bunks. They wero severely threat
ened ; but at last they proved too powerful for the
people. Indeed, it would ulmost- seem as if most of
the Stato Legislatures had met for no other purpose
than to legalize the previous suspension of specie
payments. No efficient restrictions were imposed;
and the banks were thus taught that they might
thereafter go unpunished—unwhipped of justice.—
Past impunity prevented them from roducing their
business and ourtailiDg their profits in such a manner
as to render them secure in the day of trial They
have fallen again ; I fear again to enjoy the same
impunity.
In the second place, the immense amount of money
loaned to many of the States in England, a large
ijortion of which was brought home in the form of
Sumign merchandise, afforded great facilities for over-
or rather overbuying.
in the third place, the conduct of the Bank of
the United States greatly tended to produce these
excessive importations. That institution became the
broker for the sale of all State bonds in Europe. It
endeavored to monopolize tho entire cotton trade of
the country; and it drew bills of exchange on Eng
land, most freely, at moderate rates, against the pro
ceeds of the bonds and ot its cotton. Every tempta
tion was thus presented to speculations in foreign
merchandise.
These three causes combining, have occasioned a
second suspension of speeie payments within two
years after tho first, and produced this bloated credit
system, from the wreck of which our country is now
deeply suffering.
I most heartily concur with the Senator from Ken
tucky in one of his positions. Wo certainly produce
too little and import too much. Our expanded credit
system is the groat cause of this calamity. Confine
it within safe and reasonable bounds, and this dis
astrous effect will no longer be produced. It is
not in the power of Congress to do much towards a
consummation so desireable. Still we shall do all
we can; and the present bill will exercise some in
fluence in restraining the banks from making extrav
agant loans and emitting extravagant issues.
What effect has this bloated system of credit pro
duced upon the morals of the country V In the
commercial cities, it has converted almost all men of
business into gamblers. Where is there now to be
found the old-fashioned importing merchant, whose
word was as good as his bond, and who was content
to grow rich, as our.fathers did, by the successive
and regular profits of many years of patient indus
try? Such men wero tho glory and pride of com
merce, and derated tho character of their country
both at homo and abroad. I ask, where are they ?
Is not the race almost extinct ? All now desire to
grow rich rapidly. Each takes his chanco in the
lottery of speculation. Although thero may be a
hundred chances to one against him, each, eagerly
intent upon tho golden prize, overlooks tho inter
vening rocks and quicksands between him and it,
and .when he fondly thinks he is about to clutch it,
he sinks into bankruptcy and ruin. Such has been
the fate of thousands of our most enterprising citi
zens.
If the speculator should prove successful’ and win
the golden prize, no matter by wbat moans ho may
have acquired his wealth, this clothes him with hon
or and glory. Money, money, money, confers tho
highest distinction in society The republican sim
plicity and virtue of a Macon would do subjects of
ridicule on Wall street or Chestnut street. The
.highest talent, directed by the purest patriotism,
moral worth, literary and professional fame—in
Bbort, every quality which ought to confer distinc* I
tion in society—sink into insignificance when com- !
pared with wealth. Money is equivalent to a title j
of nobility in our larger commercial cities. This is i
the effect of* the credit system.
We have widely departed from the economical hab
its and simple virtues of our forefathers. These are
the only sure foundations upon which our republican
institutions can rest. The desire to make an osten- ;
tatious display of rapidly acquired wealth has pro- i
duced a splendor and boundless expense unknown |
in former times. There is now more extravagance
in our large commercial cities than exists in any i
portion of the world, which I have ever seen, except
among the wealthy nobility of England. Thank
Heaven this extravagance has but partially reached
the mountains and valleys of the interior. The peo
ple there, so far as their potential voioe can be heard,
are determined to put an end to this bloated credit
system, which threatens to involve not only their
private fortunes, but their political liberties in ruin.
On Friday last, when I very unexpectedly ad
dressed tho Senate, I stated a principle of political
economy which I shall now read from the book._ It
is this: ‘'That if you double the amount of 5 the
necessary circulating medium in any country, you
therefore double the nominal price of every article.
If, when the circulating medium is fifty millions, an
article should cost one dollar, it would cost two if, \
without any increase of the uses of a circulating !
medium, the quantity should be increased to one i
hundred miliona.” The same effect would be pro- \
duced, whether the circulating medium were specie 1
or convertible bank paper mingled with specie. It j
is tho increased quantity of the medium not its char- j
acter, which produces this effect. Of course I leave j
ou- oi view irredeemable bank paper. \
Let mo now recur to the proposition with which I ;
commenced; and I repeat that I do not pretend to 1
mathematical accuracy in the illustration which 1
shall present. The United States carry on a trads
with Germany and France; the former a hard-money
country, and tho latter approaching it so, nearly as
to have no bunk notes in circulation under the denom
ination of five hundred francs, or nearly one hundred
dollars. On the contrary, the United States is em
phatically a paper-money country, having eight
hundred banks of issue, all of them emitting notes
of a denomination as low as five dollars, and most of
them one, two, and threo dollar notes. For every
dollar of gold and silver in the vaults of these banks,
they issue three, four, five, and some of them as high
asjten, and even fifteen, dollars of paper. . This pro
duces a vast but ever-changiDg expansion of the cur
rency, and a consequent increase of the prices of all
articles, the value of which is not regulated by for
eign demand, above the prices of similar articles in
Germany and France. At particular stages of our
expansions, we might with justice apply the principle
which I have stated to our trade with these countries,
and assert that, from the great redundancy of our
currency, articles are manutacturod in France and
Germany for one-half of their actual cost in this
country. Let me present an example. In Germany,
where the currency is purely mctalic, aud the cost
of everything is reduced to a hard-money standard,
a piece of broadcloth can be manufactured for fifty
dollars, the manufacture of which in our country,
from the expansion of our paper currency, would
cost one hundred dollars? What is the consequence?
Tho foreign French or German manufacturer im
ports his cloth into our country, and sells it for a
hundred dollars. Does not every person perceive
that tho redundancy .of our currency is equal to a
premium of ono hundred per cent, in favor of the
foreign manufacturer ? No tariff of protection, un
less it amouuted to prohibition, could.-.counteract this
advantage in favor of foreign manufactures. I would
to Heaven that I could arouse the attention of every
manufacturer of the nation to this important subject.
The foreign manufacturer will not receive our
bank notes in payment. He will take nothing home
except gold and silver, or bills of exchange, which
are equivalent, lie does not expend this money here,
where he would be compelled to support his family,
and to purchase his labor and materials at the same
rate of prices which ho receives for his manufactures.
On the contrary, ho goes home, purchases hia labor,
his wool, and all other articles which enter into his
manufacture, at half their cost in this country, and
again returns to inundato us with foreign woolens,
aud to ruin our domestic manufactures. I might
cite many other examples, but this, I trust, will be
snflicieut to draw public attention to the subject.—
This depreciation of our currency is, therefore, equiv
alent to a direct protection granted to tho foreign
over the domestic manufacturer. It is impossible
that our manufacturers should be able .to sustain
such an unequal competition.
Bir, 1 solemnly believe that if we could but reduce
this inflated paper bubble to any thing liko reason
able dimensions, New England would become tho
most prosperous manufacturing country that the sun
ever shone upon. Why cannot we manufacture goods,
and especially cotton goods, which will go into suc
cessful competition with British manufactures in for
eign markets ? Have wc not the necessary capital ?
Have wo not tho industry ? Have we not the ma
chinery? And, above all, are not our skill, energy,
and enterprise probervial throughout the world ?■—
Land is also cheaper here than in any other country
on tho face of the earth. We possess every advan
tage which Providence can bestow upon us for the
manufacture of cotton; but they are all counteracted
by the folly of man. The raw material costs us less
than it does tho English, because thisis an article the
price of which depends upon foreign markets, and is
not regulated by our own inflated currency. We,
therefore, save tho freight of the cotton across tho
Atlantic, and that of the manufactured article on its
return here. What is the reason that, with all
these advantages, and with the protective duties
which our laws afford to the domestic manufacturer
of cotton we cannot obtain exclusive possession of
the home market, and successfully contend for the
markets of the world ? It is simply because we manu
facture at the nominal prices of our own inflated cur
rency, and are compelled to sell at tho real prices of
other nations. Reduce our nominal to the real
standard of prices throughout the world, and you
cover our country with blessings and benefits. I
wish to Heaven I could speak in a voice loud enough
to bo heard throughout New England ; beoause, if
the attention of manufactrors could once be directed
to the subject, their own intelligence and native
sagacity would teach them how injuriously they are
affected by our bloated banking and credit system,
and would enablo them to apply tho proper correc
tive.
Although this bill will not have as great an in
fluence as I could dosire, yet, as far as it goes, it
will benefit the laboring man as much, and proba
bly more, than any other class of society. What is
it he ought most to desire ? Constant employment,
regular wages, and uniform reasonable prices for
tho noccssaries and comforts of life which he re
quires. Now, sir, what has been his condition under
our system of expansions and contractions? lie has
suffered more by them than any other class of socie
ty. The rate of his wages is fixed and known, and
they are the last to raise with the increasing expan
sion, and the first to fall when the corresponding re
vulsion occurs. He still continues to receive his
dollar per day, whilst the price of every article which
he consumes is rapidly rising. He is at length made
to feel that, although he nominally earns os much dr
oven more than he did formerly, yet, from .the in
creased price of all the necessaries of life, tifreannob
support his family. Hence, the strikes for higher
wages, and the uneasy and excited feelings which
have at different periods existed among the laboring
classes. But tho expansion at length reaches the ex
ploding point, and what does the laboring man now
Buffer ? He is for a season thrown out of employment
altogether. Our manufactures are suspended ; our
public works are stopped ; our private enterprises of
different kinds are abandoned ; and, whilst others are
able to weather tho storm, he can scarcely prooure
the means of bare subsistence.
Again, sir: who, do you suppose, held the greater
part of tho worthless paper of the one hundred and
sixty-five broken banks to which I have referred ?
Certainly it was not the keen' and wary speculator,
who snuffs danger from afar. If you were to make
the search, you would find more broken bank notes
in the cottagos of the laboring poor than any where
else. And these miserable sbinplasters, where are
they ? After the revulsion of 1837, laborers were glad
to obtain employment on any terms, and they often
received it upon the express condition that they
should accept this worthless trash in payment. Sir,
an entiro suppression of all bank notes of a lower
denomination than the value.of one week's wages of
the laboring man Is absolutely necessary for his pro
tection. He ought always to receive his wages in
gold and silver. Of all men on the earth, the labor
er is most interested in having a sound and stable
currency.

BRIDGETS’ & THON’S NEW CITY and
COUNTY MAP.—The subscribers are preparing to
publish a new and'complete
MAP OF LANCASTER CITY AND COUNTY,
to bo entirely made up of actual surveys to bo taken upon
the ground, and to be drawn to a much larger scale than
any heretofore issued. The enlarged scale of the work will
admit of the great advantage of clearly designating every
public and private improvement, and attaching the name
thereto; also, of ascertaining with more piecision, any re
quired distance throughout thecounty. Every public
Road and Stream, Mill, Mill Race and Mill Dam, Store,
Hotel, Post Office, Place of Worship, School House, Smith
Shop. Ac., Ac., will be acuratoly shown thereon. The
Dwellings also, with the names of owners attached, will be
inserted in the proper position. An enlarged City Plan,
and Plans of the Boroughs and principal Villages, will be
nserted In the margin. A Table, showing the correct dis
tance from each place of importance to that of every other
in the county, will be npon the Map; also, a Statistical
Table, and views of the principal County Buildings
Without a re-survey of the whole county, an accurate
map of it cannot be published ; we have already made sur
veys of a a number of the Townships, and many of the In
habitants of the county are aware of the time and pains we
have taken to perfect them. We will be equally assiduous
in our endeavors to make this a reliable and valuable work,
and hope to merit a share of public patronage.
The size of our Map will be at least five feet by fonr, and
it will cost $5 per copy. H. F. BRIDGENS, Phil’s.

CAPS AND STRAW HATS.
Our assortment of Caps and Straw Hats is the largest,

Wo are also manufacturing the PATENT FLEXIBLE
STLK..HAT, which forbeanty of finish, cannot be surpassed
The improvement consists of a combination of principle to
render the Silk Hat Band, after a slight wear, as soft and
pleasant to the bead as a soft Hat. The “Flexible Band”
combines the softness of the Felt Hat, with the beauty and
dressy appearance of the Silk Hat, and from its yielding
nature, readily conforms to the shape of the head, thus
avoiding In a very great measure, the trouble and incon
venience of conforming and shaping, as the principle of the
conformator is embodied in the improvement.
All Hats sold at this establishment are made under our
own supervision, and we warrant them to be what they
are sold for. We respectfully invite the public to give us

EXPLANATION.
The term AMBROTYPE, by which these Pictures iro
designated; is derived from the Greek word Ambrotos, sig
nifying indestructibility, permanency, Ac. The Picture is
taken upon plate glass, to which another plate of corres
ponding size is secured with an indestructible cement, by
by which the picture will retain its original brilliancy
for ages; it will not corrode by acids, nor be Injured by
water or climate. It is bold in its effect, beautiful in tone,
surpasses any thing in the gradations of light and shade,
and may be seen in any light. The public are cautioned
against imitations made on single plates of glass, with the
Slack varnish In immediate contact with the Picture.—
buch are not permanent, as the varnish must crack and
destroy the Picture.
