What is it he might most to dcsitel Constant cm;,loyjijBhti regular wages, and uniform reasonable prices for the necessaries and comforts of life which bo'requires,. Now, sir, what has been Ms condition under our system of expansions and contractions! He has suffered more by them than any other class of society. The rate of his wsgea is fixed am] known; and they arc tbqjast to rise with the expansion, and the first to fall when tho corresponding re- • vulsion occurs. Ho still continues to receive JiiU dollar per day, whilst the price of every ar-' tide which he consumes is rapidly rising. Ho ia at length made to fed that, be nominally earns * as much, or even more than he did formerly, yet from the increased price ol alt the necessaries of life ho cannot support his family. Hence the ' for higher wages, and- the uneasy and. • excited feelings,which have at different periods existed among the laboring classes. ■; But the eipansiba at length reaches the exploding point and what does tba’laboring man now suffer!. He is fora season thrown out of employment altu- • gather, Our manufactures are suspended; and, 'Whilst others aro able to weather the storm, he «n scarcely procure the moans of bare subsistence, : - . - • • V Again, sir,' ivho do you suppose, ihejd the greater pan of the worthless pap»»r of the one hundred and sixty-live broken banks to which*! have referral I Certainly it was - not .tho keen . *pd wary speculator, who snuffs danger from afar. If .you were in make the search, you would find,more broken bank notes in the cottages of the laboring poor than any where else.— ■ And these miserable shin-plasters where are they! After this. revulsion of 1837,- laborers were glad to obtain employment on shy terms; and they often received it on express condition that they should accept this worthlcsit trash ia payment. Sir, an entire suppression oTall hank notes of a lower ‘ denomination than one week's wages of the laboring man is absolutely nccesss- - JJf ot proteclioh, lie ought always to receive.his. wages iVgold and silver, Of all men on the earth, the laborer is most interested in having a sound and-&tab|c currency. All other circumstances being'equal, lagree whit the Senator ftom Ky, that that'country is most prosperous whore Iqbor commands the highest wages. 1 do not,‘however, mean by the term '♦highest wages,” the greatest eat nominal : amount. During tho. Revolutionary war; one day's work commanded i hundred of.conjinen- ■ tat paper; but this would scarcely have purchased a breakfast, Tho mors proper (expression wquld bo, to say that that country Is most pros- , peroua where labor coimnan ia. the greatest re- ■ ward; where onb day’s labor will procure not .the; greatest nominal -amount of a depreciated currency, but most of l{to necessaries and comforts of life. Jf, therefore, you should, in some degree, reduce the nominal price paid for labor, by 'reducing the amount of your bank issues - within reasonable and safe and establish- . .Jishing a .metallic-basts for your paper circulation’would this injure , the laborer! Certainly pot;-because the price of alt the necessaries ind comforts of life qro reduced in the same . proportion, and be will be able to purchase more of them, for one dollar in n sound stale of the correqey, thqn he could hare done, in the days of, extravagant expansion, fur a dollar and a quarter. So far from injuring, it will greatly benefit the laboring nun. It will insure to him constant employment and regular prices, paid in a sound currency, which of alt things he ought pioat to desire; and it will save him from being involved in ruin by a recurrence of those periodical expansions and contractions of the currency, which have hitherto convulsed ihe country. . This sound slate of the currency will have another most happy effect upon the laboring man. He wijl receive his wages in gold and silver;" and this will induce him to lay up for future use, auch portion of them as he can spare, after satisfying bis immediate wants. This he will not db at present, because he knows not whether thd trash which he is now compelled to receive as money, will continue to be of any value • a week or a month hereafter. A knowledge of this fact fends to banish economy from his dwelling, and induces him to expend all his wages as rapidly as possible, lest they may become worthless on his hands. 1 Sir, the laboring classes understand this subject pefectly. It is the hard-handed and firmfisted men of the country on which we must rely in the day of danger, who are the most friendly to the passage of this bill. It is they who are the most ardently ia favor of infusing into the currency of tho country a very large amount of the precious metals. The Senator has advanced another position jo which I am sorry I cahoot agreo with fitn. It is Ibis: that a permanent high rate of interest is indicative of the prosperity of any country. Now, sir, a permanent high rale of interest is conclusive evidence of a scarcity of capital, and is indicative of any thing but prosperly. I thipk, therefore, it wit) puzzle him, with all h?> ingenuity, to establish bis proposition. To render a country truly prosperous, capital and labor must be so combined as cadi to receive a fair reward. In England, when the rate of interest was very high, the country was not at all in a flourishing condition; but as capital gradually accumulated, and the rate of mtertat ctmsequontly sunk, she became more and more prosperous, though she did not reach her highest cle-, vation unlit money yielded considerably less than five per cent. But this subject is so little relevant to the question under discussion, that it is scarcely necessary to pursue it. If it were, it would bo easy to show that a high rale of interest, generally if not universally, enters into direct conflict with the wages of labor, which the Senator ia so. anxious to'maintain. Suppose, for example, that it required a capital of $20,000 to put and preserve an iron manufactory In successful operation. In one country the interest on this sum at ton per cent, would amount to $12,000, whilst in another it could be procured at four per cent., or $SOO. The difference Would bo 1,300; and, unless* this amount can be payed either by a reduction in the wages of labor, or in some other manner, the manufacturer who pays tho higher rate of interest cannot endure th® competition. A high rate of interest almost always presses upon the wages of labor,

counted freely at two per cent, per month- 1 — With these facts before him, Mr. Jeffrey would not now declare, as the Senator informs us ho formerly did, that “this country was the heaven of the poor man slid the hell of the rich."— He might probably reverse the position, though it would be equally extravagant one way as the other. A country in which a rich man can-real-ize from twenty four to forty eight per tent, for bfs'money,'would certainly beany thing but & place of torment for him. But what is the condition of a poor man in such a country! W hen capital command* such extravagant- interest to liquidate commercial debts, it will no longerbe need in the ; employment of labor; and hence poor men must necessarily be thrown out of employ mem. .Such a condition is any thing but a heaven for them,-

editor of the the Political Deacon publishes, in full, the letter written by Gen. Harrison in 1S33, acknowledging himself to bare been, since the age of IS, a member of. an Abolition Society; “the object of which was to ameliorate the condition of slaves, and yironire/Arir fretdom by eeery Jegal meant” He charges us with having published a “garbled extract” from this letter, “gut up foMhe base purpose of deceiving the public,” and calls upon us to make the “amende honorable” hy publishing the whole letter. The extract wc published from the letter was word for word from the original aa appears in the. Deacon—it has been published in every democratic paper in the Union, and if‘it were true that it was a “garbled extract, got up for tho base* purpose of deceiving the public,” it ia some what strange that* tho "intelligent'* editor of the Beacon did not find it out before. But J says the editor, “from another statement. published. to-day over the signature of T. W, Pleasants, it will bo seen that the society io : which Gen.< H. alludes was a society for the abolition of the slave trade, and to assist negroes who were; illegally - held in bondage to obtain their rights through ilip courts of justice.”. If this - ie the construction Gen. Harrison wished to have placed'.upon his letter he must cither have been shamefully deceived in his jown language, or wanted to carry out some sinister motive by which to impose upon ths'credulity of the people. The letter was' evidently intended to convey the meaning set forth in the extract we published from it, and. we give the-editor of the Beacon credit for his candor in acdnowlcdging it* genuineness, as some of the federal editors have been silent in regard to it, while others bare pronounced it a base tdrgcry. So if this letter contained the sentiments of Gen, Harrison at the time it was .written, it must exhibit his sentiments still, (as his “conscience keepers”.declare that'his views jn ttgard to all the important questions of the day have'heretofore been given to U.e public, Jully and explicitly; and those views have undergone no'change,) and we defy the editor of the Deacon, to place a more plausible construction upon the letter in wholc or part, the sialemeut of.Mr,T, \V. Pleasants (the truth of whose assertion wants better proof than a mere publicalipn in the Beacon,) to the contrary notwithstanding. •

The Senator eVclatms with holy horror,-“the Stuarts are still upon the throne, and Charles the Second has succeeded Charles the First."— 11c has, I think, bceh very* unfortunate in his historical allusion, if he intended to' compare our Andrew with the first Charles, The enemies of Charles cut off his bead, wfillsi our Andrew, politically speaking, cut iha|5eads off all hjp enemies; and 1 many of them were in terror of Inin, that they dreaded be might Wri the' metaphor into reality, and cut off their heads in earnest * Charles the Second did not succeed Charlca the First.- My Lord Puoteclor intcrrmcd. Although he and the Senator from Kentucky arc as different in other respects-as two able and brave men can be, yet whilst he was speaking it struck me (hat there was one striking point of resemblance betwen them.— And, what, sir,Ado you think that- wasp My Lord Protector always began- and ended every tiling as the Senator has begun and ended his speech—w/M prayer. Then in regard to the second Charles,V1 ; have little to say. Of all metf, the Senator ought to be last to disparage uurOIartin. 1 have read of a-great conquered be able and Erave man, because, as the historian observes, it would have lessened the merits of the vanquished to have beeij overcome by a fool or a coward. The Senator, m speaking of Martin, ought rather to exclaim, ' - “Great let me call him for be conquered me.” If, in addition, the little magician be victorious over‘the hero of Tippecanoe, in the great battle to be fought the approaching autumn, and 1 have full, faith that such will be the result then be will godowneo posterity with all “his blushing bpnordiliick upon him." - Thanking lho r Senate for their pat that attention, I shall now resume my seat.

Democracy arks in rain—what claim hare the Bunks to use this public treasure ns their own—again to convert it into un engine of ruinous expansions and contractions of the currency, mid of new political panics and pressures, to enforce submission to the money power!”

Is a “Harrison Democrat" one who supports candidates for President and Vice President, who were opposed to extending the .right of suffrage to every free white male citizen of sufficient age, |nd confining that right to land tiolddera, (as Gen. Harrison was and no doubt still is, according to the declaration of his “conscience keepers" that his sentiments and opinions have been given to the people on former occasions, and that he had undergone no.chango,) and opposed to allowing the people the right of electing, their own Governors and sheriffs (as Mr." Tyler was in the Convention to amend the Constitution of Virginia in 1829!) If’such constitute the “Harriron Democrats" as a party,'then indeed are the supporters of Harrison and Tyler entitled to the nameo/’ “HARRISON DEMOCRATS,” Lord save us from finch Democracy.

THE TIMES FOR ONE DOLLAR.

In order to extend the circulation of the Verity 'rimes, and place it within the reach of every Democrat in Ibccouoty, during the prcsenlimportant struggle of the two great political parties, we propose furnishing the paper to subscribers weekly from this time until alter the Presidential election, (the last number to contain the grand result,) «t one 'dollar a copy, single ; six.copies for five dollars, or .thirteen copies far ten dollars, when sent to ope address.' In all coses subscriptions must be accompanied by the money, tp receive attention. ; .

, Come democrats, what say you to this proposition for extending the circulation of your county paper! U iia matter of .much importance to the success of your party in this county, as well as to tbesustena nee of the press, that tome time wed efforts be made to extend tbeycircuUlidn of this'paper, . The county is rife with federal.misrepresehtalion—the people want but (lie means of. counteracting Us baneful influence, and the day is ours. .

A few days since three' travellers slopped at .the mouth of Brian’s creek, and called on a man who. had a skis’ in the creek, to set them a cross.' They were interrogated ns to their political sentiments, and one of them replied that bo was a Harrison man, and the two with bint were for Vnn Buren; whereupon (be llnfrisonian was told that be could cross without charge, but the democrats must pay twelve and a half cents each. The democrats, indignant at the insult, turned upon (heir heels and walked about two miles up the creek' before' they were enabled to cross. ’To some this may appear a (ridingmatter, but we merely state #fce. fact to give QUMcaden an idea of the character of federal whiggery, and show them to what lengths tome of the t deceney> will carry party feeling. ■’The circumstance was relalcd to us by one of ljie travellers, who.appeared.like a;Very respectable Hu tells us that, his democratic cbmnhnion and himself (mechanics) were travelling together in quest of work, that they had arrived at the creek late in the afternoon, and supposing it to be a regular ferry, were willing to pay the customary price for crowing, but the ungcntlemanly treatment .they met with, although much fatigued by their journey,induced them tolrayci about fouL tnileioat of their wjiy, rather,tban.sdbmjt to the domineering disposition of such a' biped. ■. ,-V ' • -• J This is bat one among the little trahiactions we frequently hear of, where some hot-headed federalist has become too Adneit in opinion to stretch bit hospitality at far for a democrat os beds willing to do for a Harrironian. • = >. ■’' J ; ■

We ionite the attention of the people—of the mechanic and workingman—jo the humiliating and cowardly course of the slanderers of .Mr. Buchanan—they dare not let the people read I for Ihcm-clrcs—they are afraid'to submit all the speeches of both parties to the'public—koowing full well that, if they did, a bitterer fate would await them than if they remained silent, and acknowledged that they are "broken and cowed." In either event they will be to deaffi, however. One pf the horns of Cite dilemma they must choose: to remain silent and thus show that they fear to’let the people read: or to join with tbc Democrats, and to publish all the speeches, and thus be convicted of falsehood and perversion in the eyes of cyery honest man!

An Association has been formed in this plaee,-com-posed of a number of the Democratic citizens -of Jefferson township, the abject dt which is to further the cause of correct principles, by meeting one night in each week and openly discussing the principles of the two parties.

Dearborn Federal Convention.

. The federal whig's of Dearborn county held a Convention at Wilmington on the 9th, and nominated JohnsoJ Watts for the State Senate, and Isaac Dunn, William R. Cole, Abtjah North, and John B. Clark for Representatives. The Democrat thus notices the parade on the occasion:

Look at this spectacle! After having, published it in their papers that Mr. Buchanan was in favor of reducing the wages of labor—after the Toni calumny had been atnplificd’and repeated by every one of their lawyer-orators charging Mr. B. on the high-way and the by-way with advocating a doctrine from which his manly soul would revolt—they now, when challenged to publish his speeches, and those of Mr. Davis, slink from the lair field, and confess that they believed tbo. People ignorant enough to place credence in assertions, which never had a shadow of truth to relieve iheir falsehood!

“Early in. the morning, tbs Indiana came down from Lawrenceburgh, with some40 or 50 delegates. 1 They bad two or three musical instruments, a good fitted red and white flag,.and r small bladk flag, with the words “Union Cavalry'- in gold letters, on it. On nearing the landing they gave a shout and landed in safety.;

But tbc challenge is renewed. We stilt hope they will accept it.. They entered, upon the business like roaring lions, and it would be contemptible indeed, if they sneaked from it like whipt hounds. They have been sleeping for weeks over the challenge. We hope they will sleep no longer, but come forward like men who do not fear to make.their vaunlings true!

“Next cams (be Return from Rising Slip, with about .30 delegates, tnore.or leas. They had some kind of a flag, which- we did not notice particularly; also, quite a large banner, color indescribable, with a something painted thereon that .was Intended to represent a log. cabin and barrel of hapd cider. On the top of the pole that supported tfiia banner was a .Mdiig'out" abo«V6 or 8 inches jong. They also bad a something along that looked to us very like a hen coop—such as we have seen in gardens to confine the old hen, with holes to lei'the little chicks in and put. It was built of emall buckeye slicks, and was intended to represent a ‘log catViV —ct> w matt scale.'

Jackson’s View or the Sob-Treasury.

Gctf. J*CK6oJf, in a- letter to the editor of the Globe, speaking-of the Sub-Treasury bill,says: ‘'1 have just received the Globe of the I2tb, and am phased to discover from it and other papers, that the'detnocracy are uniting upon apian of separating the Government from corporal ions of all kinds, and to collect the revenue, keep and disburse it by their own agents.' This, clone can secure safety lo onr revenue, and control over its issues of paper by the Slate Banks* “lb separating the Government from Banks , we secure to labor its fair bluest pursuit U promoted; the Government is relieved from the political influence of the money power legislation is purified, add the republican feelings of our citizens are cherished.”

Gentlemen of the Autimasonic county committee, dare you accept the challenge! . [Lancaster (-Po.) Intelligencer,

The reason he Changed.

Tho Whig party are rejoicing over their late convert, Gen. Jous McElvaike, of Colpmbus, Ohio. He was a Jackson man, and was run on the Democratic electoral ticket, in hB36, and has continued to act with-tho party until his recent recantation. The reasons he assigns in his letter fur withdrawing from Th6 support of Mr. Van lluren, and going over to the Whigs, are not Only weak, but very foolish. The Democrats supported him for Congress in 1833, and for the Senate in 1839, but as they were in the minority he was of course defeated. But the true reason of his sudden transition to Harrison and Federalism, the Whig papers have omitted to mention. Gen. McElvaine is a large debtor to one, of tho Columbus banks. The bank lately obtained a judgment against him for $27,000—this explains all. His private affairs are very much deranged, and the consequence was, this Btm*shine patriot, in & "fair business transaction,” was bought oyer to tho Bank Interest. He hat proved a traitor to the people, and would probably sell bis country for “a mess of bank poltage!”> This fact should be a warning to the people against the dangerous influence of the present corrupt banking system.— fVathington Rep t

Onto.—The following iVan extract of p letter from a highly respectable and intelligent gentleman residing in Ohio, which gives« very cheering account of the onward march of Demoorncy in that Slate: “1 am pleased to hear of tbe brilliant prospect* in Indiana. And let me assure you that the. democracy of this Slate, *o far as I can learn, were oever more sanguine of luccea than at the approaching elections. We will re-elect Governor Shannon by at least 10,000 majority. This result will be followed in November by on increased and overwhelming majority for Marlin Van Buren."

“Shortly after this party had landed, they were joined by the Tippecanoera of this place, a procession was formed, and they marched to the Methodist church. Here they tarried a short time; and ninety, rank and file, commanded by only six marshals, moved off towards -Wilmington. *

feds arc building Log Coimi in some of lha largo cities, and dedicating them to Harrison and Hard Cider,- When Gen. Harrison was Governor of Indiana Territory, ttie Booster* erected a Loo Casix for him to live innt Vincennes, which cost $12,000. A cabin of tbit sort suits the General much better than one made of B'tekeye iojr.

“The delegates who went from and paesed through this place, relumed in the afternoon, not half eo ardent in spirit, we thought as they were In the morning. One or two, we regret tosay, exhibited decided of haring partook loo freely of Wilmington whig hard ctdtr After witnessing the ridiculous parades of these modern votaries of (Sen, Harrison, we cannot for tho life of us imagine how eny sensible man can subscribe to such a pack of seneicoi buffoonery.

“JjgHalar" is the title of an paper just established at Cleveland Ohio. It goes the ’entire 1 for Harrison and Tyler.

should not be forgotten,that General Harrison's name stood at the head of the Adams Electoral Ticket of Ohio, in 182d, ana Adams rewarded his partizan zeal by appointing him Minister to Columbia, Jobp C, Wright, one of Gen. Harrison's "confidential committee,” was a member of Congress from Ohio, in JKi) and voted in the Home, where the election was thrown, for Jidamt, although a large majority of lus constituents strongly preferred Gen.
