ANOTHER FABRICATION NAILED.

The venerable MORGAN LEWIS, in letter ad-
dressed to the editors of the Poughkeepsie Tele-
graph, puts TO rest, with the seal of ialsehOod up
on them, the statements of the Poughkeepsie Jour
nal, in relation to his views on the subject of the
independent Treasury, and his alleged attempt to
express them while officiating as President of the
great mass convention at that place.
lie states that although at an early period his
impressions were not favorable to the measure, he
had since become satisfied of its value, and has
given to it an honest support. The assertion, that
hls course on that occasion admitted of the inter-
probation that he was hostile to the Independent
Treasury, and that his friends "stood aghast," &C.
&c. Gov. l.. says "has the merit of boldness. but
not of truth. In other words, that it is another OF
the dishonest frauds which characterize the federal
press and the federal party. Gov. LEWIS avails
himself of the occasion, TO renew the expression OF
his confidence in and respect for 'the present In
cumbent ofthe Presidential chaii." 81 had known
him from his infancy (said the veteran revolution
airy democrat, who is an octogenarlan), "and with
whom, when arrived at maturer age, ! had SER
we'd in council, on highly imporIand occasions, in
volying the most vital interests of our country ii
which he had uniformly exhibited a high order oil
talent quickness of perception. soundness OF Judg-
ment, strclness of integrity, competent ilrmness
honest, honorable and disinterested motives, open
ly and candidly avowed, without the shadow o.
cOncealment."

cred that it way asserted and reiterated all over the
country, that had advocated the bill, because il
would produce the very effect which had spent
much time in proving that it would not produce
Such ridiculous ialsehoods give me no concern; be-
cause know that no man in the country, what
ever he may profess for party effect, believes the
silly SANDER. | need make no profession of my de-
votion to the interests of all the poor man. The
whole history of my legislative life, which has now
not been short, will prove that, whenever an oppor-
tunty has offered have been his advocate and
his friend''
We regret that our limits will not permit us TO
indulge more literally in extracts from this admira-
Bile speech We have read it with the interest
which attaches to every thing from that source, and
we look upon ii as one of the ablest and most tri-
umphant' efforts, whether regarded as vindicaton
of the administration and its leading measures, or
as an exposure of the Inconsistencies, the insulting
mummeries and the frauds oflhe INSCRIPTIONS par
ty now struggling for the ascendancy, that the crisis
has called out. 1t is speech which is destin' TO
survive with the history of the times, as faithful
record fthe positions and tactics of parties 1t is
record which federalism itself, when the excite
ment of "hard CIDER shall have passed off, will
recur to with shame and coniusen.--.dlb. Argus.

A FACT FOR THE LABOURING
PEOPLE,

"Flour in this city is now $l2 barrel by the
wholesale, thirteen by retail, or 6 l-2 cents per
pound for the raw MATERIAL
In London AT the late dates four pound loaf of
bread sold for 10 Ia pence, or 20 cents, which is
five cents per pound for bread,
Boston .Adrocdie Of Jan. 10, 1887.
The year 1897, was what the wings called a
time of prosperity & high prices. Bank expansion
were then at their height What was their effect
upon the laborer, while the spectators were grow
ing rich Ipon credit. The laboIer's wages aver
aged about two dollars per day, lie could earn
twelve dollars week by toing from sun to SIM.
AT the end of week. work; he fell short Of buy
ing barrel Of flour for his family. Now he can
earn about nine dollars week and buy barrel OF
-four for five dollars and fifty cents, which makes
him "a, so week better off than he was in 1887.
This the wings call "hard times" Why' Be-
cause the laborer gets more, and the Spectator
and credit man gets less. This is at the bottom Of
the pretended zeal the wings for the aborng peo-
ple There is more to live on now than there was
in 1897, and labor realizes much more of it. But
it is only"good times" with the wings when the
poor man cannot earn barrel of flour week. Let
the laborng man bear this fact in mind, when he
hears the wing profession about lettering his con-
dition, by bringing back what he Gala prosperous
times.

the publicity and the disadvantages of the decora-
tion 1t may perhaps be said that charter is moi
title of nobility, because it does not come by right
of birth or patent from the Prince. Was this the
meaning of the Constitution when it solemny de-
cares that no State shall grant title of nobility
Most surely not. 1t contemplated noble privileges
emanating from the legislative power, 1t may be
urged that bank charter is not tile of nobility
because it only grants exclusive powers and moi
distinctive appellutions. A State we may be grave
y told may grant nobility but not titles Of nobility.
] may grant TO the meanest citizen all the preroga-
tives that make Prince; il may give away forever
the very essence of its sovereignty, but sonorous
epilhet it shall not give. 1t may make a man a
monarch, but it shall not label him lord. Need
l answer an assumption so unspeakably absurd -
There never was time when reflections like the
above present themselves with more force to the
mind than the present The people, the real SOW
ereigns of this country, through their interested
representatives in the legislature, have distributed
these patents of nobility throughout the country
with liberal and profuse hand. Scarcelya town
or village throughout the State that does not con-
tain one or more Of these American mobiles. And
how, let me ask, have they exercised this power in
the recent struggled For the benefit of the masses
through whose simplicity they have been elevated
to such giddy height, or for the perpetuation Of
their own monstrous privieges' The result of the
election, controlled entirely by these American no.
blemen, will answer for me, To produce this re-
suit, how many of the proud debtors to these cor
| rupt and rotten corporations have been subdued
how many of the vena and weak have been bought,
and how many of the gentle and good have been
terrified into submission Let the consciences of
these upstart nobemen answer.
| Fellow citizens, the banking system is becoming
daily of more importance to you. You see arrayed
against the democracy, and in favor of the contin-
uation of the paper system, with few exceptions,
the whole banking power of the country. 1t is ma
king tremendous effort to crush you under its iron
wheels 1t is no longer question Of " bank re-
form;" it is question of destruction. You must
destroy the banks, they will destroy your liber-
ties, How much longer will you consent to be
ridden over, and trampled upon, and ground to the
earth by these purse-proud aristocrats and mobiles
who rule over you with rod of iron How much
longer will you be governed by these licensed
rogues, these legased swindlers' Methinks |
hear a faint and distant murmur, which ere the
next election will be revcrberated from our hill
sides to our valleys, until tho very heavens shall
echo to the cry of "down with the bunks," "down
with the miserable as,ocracy that directs and con-
| trolls them" Equal RIGHTs.

VOL. |, NO. "a.

The 9Th articles of the "Rules and articles of
war" to which Harrison proposes to subject the
Freemen of Illinois is in the words following:
iLTS "ART.9. Amy officer or soldier who shall
strike his superior officer or draw or lift mp any
weapon, or offer any violence against him, being in
the execution of his office, or any pretence what
ever, or shall disobey any lawful commands of his
superior officer SHALL SUFFER DEATH or such
punishment as SHALL according to the nature of his
offence be inflicted upon him by the sentence ola
court martial"
Comment upon these provisions is unnecessary.
The oppression and tyranny TO which they would
subject the citizen soldier is apparent.
llarrson's whole Bill, taken in connection with
the articles of war, would make a perfect military
despotsm. This is iarrson's favorte measure.
Whilst in Congress he made three different reports
in its favour And as late as last February in let
ter to committee of his friends at Louisville, he
referred to il as n measure in which he felt the
deepest interest Do the people desire a military
despoism lfso let them support Harrison, his
standing armies and gag laws. We shall refer to
this subject again, and publish the whole of lIar-
rison's Bill, believing that the Bill itself is more
odious and Objectionable than any thing we could
say against it'll State Register.

MIR. BUCHANAN, AND THE "WAGEs
OF LAHORE

Mr. BUCHANAN, in his great speech before the
democratic state convention of PENNSYLVANIA, in
August last, took occasion again to adver, to the
miserable Justification of his sentiments on the wa

Treasury bill, because it will reduce the value Of
the poor mans wages and of all the property in the
country A charge so absurd would be scaccey
worthy of a serious reuaton, but for the peIlina-
city with which its truth il insisted upon III could
have uttered such sentiment, should have been
worthy of Straight Jacket and a cell in Bedlam, in
stead of a seat il the Senate of the United States
The wings have already ridden this hobby to death
as thew have done every other. buchanan wa
ues. as tbeyscall them, have been in rapid state
of deprecia,ion. They soon sunk to 10 cents per
