Mr.. BUcHANAS's Sub-treasury speech was
delivered in the Senate, Jan. o. and publish
ed in the Globe, Feb. 3.
Mr.. DAVIS reply to Mr.. Buchanan was
made in the Senate, Jan. 30, and published
in the Intelligencer. Feb. 10, and in the Ma
disonian. Feb. Is,
On the 9th of March, Mr.. Buchanan
charges Mr.. Davis with having made false
imputations," with " fagilious" designs, and
peculiarly infamous" conduct, in his, mr..
D.'s) reply as published.
Mr.. Buchanan published his own speech in
the Globe elccen days after the delivery Of
Mr.. Davis's speech, and alludes twice in that
published speech to the arguments of Mr..
Davis.
II is not until about t,oenty.foe days after
the publication of Mr.. Davis speech, that Mr..
B. conceiycs the idea of complaining of mis-
representation.
If Mr.. Buchanan now speaks truly, is it
not strange that Mr., Clay, Mr.. Merrck, Mr.
Henderson, Mr.. Smith, of Indiana, Mr.. Pres
ton, the reporters, and every gentleman who
heard Mr.. Buchanan in the first instance,
should have received the same Impressions
.,.a. M. p-~:- l;if
But any intelligent man who will read Mr.
Buchanan's speech. as published, will be sa-
Asfed that the drift Of the argument is TO
show, that in order 10 compete with foreign
countries, we must reduce our currency,
prices and wages, down TO the hard money
standard This argument is associated with
the reasons lie gives for the establishment, Of
the Sub-Treasury.
When Mr.. Davis concluded his speech, we
were sitting Immediately behind him, and
recollect, soon after, to have congratulate
him on making one Of the most conclusive
arguments, we had heard. \ was repilea
that the argument was unanswerable, ana
,roull be unanswered We can testify that
the published report is faithful one we
conclude, therefore, that it has become the
policy of the loco-focos, when they are
thrown in argument, to deny that they ever
took the position which they have failed to
maintain.
Mr.. Buchanan listened to the delivery OF
Mr.. Davis speech, and not only did not in
terfere with, or object to it, but afterwards ac-
tually complimented Mr.. Davis.
1t was not until he felt The recoil of his ef-
fort--saw the working men abandoning the
Administration, and received objurgations and
remonstrances from his own friends, that Mr.
Buchanan undertook to disayow his own, off,
spring, and lay it, in a most exasperated
and ungentlemanly spirit, at the door OF Mr.
Davis.
