1t was avowed in the U. 5. Senate, that
one consequence ofthe Sub-Treasury would
be reduction IN the wages of labor but
they attempt to break the effect of this by
asserting that prices must also come down
in the same proportion.
This may be true, IN regard to domestic
produce, but will it affect the tea, coffee, su-
gar and other indls pensable articles Of for
eign production
How will it affect those who owe debts
contracted when wages were higher, pro-
duce was higher, and money worth less ?
How will it afr ect the Office holders

The Vicksburg Wing says there were from four
10 ssrcn thousand delegates 10 attendance at the
wing show in this cly, on the 9th. Now we did
not count them, but this much We know, that the
procession was counted by at least six different
gentlemen at different points, who seyerally state
and agree that IT did not exceed eighf hundred IN
number, and We do not believe there we're two
hundred tchiis men excepting democratsl out of
the procession. The Hard Cider Of the Whig
party has about as much effect upon the eyes and

has upon nominal value Of property. Now, if the

in shinplastsr sense "a thing which always lies
there were seven thousand or even two thousand

the truth Of the saying, but if he intended to speak

of the hard cider which were so rife during the

LACGHABLE INCIDENT.

Our readers will remember that few days ago
we published letter ir m MI. Van Buren, TO the
citizens OF Illinois, IN reply Ia some enquiries pro-
pounded by them TO him; and alsa accompanying It,
letter from Gen Harrison 10 Dr.. Henry, Chair
man OF the "Whig Central COMMITTEE" of Illinois,
Ia which the hero" signifies his determination TO
say nothing more ION the abolition or any other pu-
hucal question" About the same time, friend
was reading aloud the letter Of Mr.. V. B. in pub
lie place in the city 10 an audience OF some dozen on
fifteen, chiefly wings, and was listened to wllh the
utmost attention. As an experiment upon the hon
esy and sincerity Of liarrisons supporters the read
slid of upon The letter of the federal candidate TO
DR.. Henry, He harily flushed a sentence, howev-
er, before he was interrupted by Wing hrawler
with an outbreak of the fol owing characler:"l Is

come out ike man aud tell what his views are up
on these subjects" "Hush" said wing friend at
