Rev. J. A. KoiKtt.MAN, iU preach in

evening at early candle light.
MR. RUCIIA3A3V AXD OLD
UXF. WHIGS.
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

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.

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.

of a certain conversation at his residence
between llou. Charles Sumner, and Col. D.

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. REDUCE
OUR NOMINAL TO THE REAL STAND
ARD OF PRICES THROUGHOUT THE
WORLD, and you cover our country with bles
sings and benefits.
"The comparative LOW PRICES of France
and Germany have afforded *uch a stimulous o
their manufactures, that they are now rapidly ex
tending themselves, and would obtain possession
In no small degree, even of the English homo
market; IF IT WERE NOT FOR THEIR
PBOIEI ING DUTIES- While British manu
factures are now languishing, those of the
continent are spiiriging into a healthy and
vigorous existence."
