His explanation of the Texas- question; I need only add, was equal to all that could have been anticipated. lam almost ashamed to say, that while Mr. BIICIIANAN was proy.eeding in his speech—during which be expressed nothing disrespectful of HENRY CLAY—a few blackguards, on the opposite side of the way. nailed an insulting banner on one of the taverns, inscribed with an insulting reference to the villainous slander of ten cents a day "—a falsehood so foul, so' disgust ing, and dishonest, that it= seems to have been dropped by every decent Whig in the country. This shameful outrage created a general feeling of in: dignation, and warm work would 'have been the consequence, had not . C. L. WARD, Esq., a leading and gentleman ly whig—who deserves credit for thus rebuking these low blackguards, and who felt . ashamed of the indignity for the sake of his party and his town— torn down the insulting motto with his own hand. After this had been done, and while Mr. BUCHANAN, without no ticing the gross insult which had been offered to him, was proceeding with his remarks, a voice cried out,-from the crotA, the whigs charge you with having said that the 'laboring man can work for ten -cents a day !" Immedi ately, and in all the ardor of honest in dignation, he exclaimed, It is false...- FALSE A 8 HELL !" After the sensation which this denial created had subsided, r.• Buchanan proceededto say Mai is vile calumny was of so gross and s andalone a- char acter as to excite in im only disgust. It was not believed by those who were most busy in retailing it. From what I' did this base charge spring ? From a speech he had made in the U. S. Ben.' ate, in which he .had taken the ground that thelaboring man was.-better paid when he received' one dollar a day, in sound silver currency, than when he re ceived a dollar and a-quarter in the mis erable shin:_plasters of irresponsible cor porations and insolvent coMpaniesfor it was ever the cause, he remarked, that the poor laboring luau was the very first to reedit:lliad:Money." When he got it, he Will enlivened ta spend it, lest' ; it might die in his hands. ' If he could get nothing elite, 'he Would even pur chase whig paniphletain preference to keeping it. Who ever heard, asked Mr. Buchanan, of a man saving shin plasters for a rainy day'? In the good old times„there used to be a money box in most of the families of the indus. trious laboring' commtmity ; and when mammy or daddy got a half-dollar, it was,alipt into the money-box as a con tribution to a fond' which i would pur chase "Mein a' homestead in their old days. But this was not the case now, or bad 'not been the case heretofore.— The indwitrious hard-workiag man had been pluikdered by means of worthless bank rags, and liept poor, and iirevent ed from receiving what Was his "just reward." Because'he bad tried'iti rem edy this evil, he had been denounced as the enemy of the poor man! But; he felt that be •was right, , and that was above all the . praise or censure of the wtirtd.:. This., eloquent and dignified rebuke of a vile elander; was received with cheers by the vast crowd in ' attendance.

Governor of New York, and expressed his gratification for the _course, .which had thus , been pursued—a course which would secure New York to tha Democratic party in her November Election. for Governor and President. .Hesaid,there did not live an abler, purer, or more honest man than SUAS WRIGHT, and while he should rejoice to see him the Governor of New York, (of which , no one pre tended to doubt,) he deeply regretted the loss which would be sustained by the country at large, in losing his serr vices in the Senate of the United States. In the course of his speech, Mr. Buch anan paid a chaste and appropriate tri bute to the-latelamented MIJULENBERO, and referred to 'FRANCIS R. Snumr. as a man whose integrity and capacity, as Governor of Pennsylvania, would se cure for him the confidence and respect of all parties. The sketch of Jams K. Polk and Gr.o. M. DALLAS, our candi dates for President and Vice 'President, was received with great satisfaction by the audience, and theligh opinion he expressed of the eminent talents aid .vir toes of ttese distinguished Men, proved how cordially he could confide in their administration of the National Govern ment. I have thus given a faint and imperfect outline of an effort that will long be remembered in Northern Penn sylvania. . This great meeting was also address ed by Col. S. G. HATIIAWAY, of.
