of Mr. Davis speech, as by agreement, and not
wilhslanding, every federalist in The nuion, who
controlled laboring man. either turned him Out Of
employment, or cut Gown his wages harplng IN
his ear all the time what Mr. Davis had put into MIR
Buchanans mouth, and artlully pursuading the poor
man, that the reduction of his wages was changa-
Bile upon the Administration and not upon his most
benevolent and pous employer, who was holding
his white handkerchief to his eyes aud shedding
"copious gushing tears" for his inhumane express
ion. Delicate, white fingured, cologne scented
soap-locked fops, who for the salvation of their
souls wonld not be caught with an implement of
manual labor in their hands, were all over the
union, lip-tocmg about the work shops of the me-
chelic aud the fields oflhe farmer, tapping the toes
of their most eXqusltey polished boots with their
ratans, syupa,Lisng with him in his distress, an
charging it upon the ''ruinous measures of the Add
mini>,raon. q, ana cORscieAce' Band-baX gen.
try. who iflhcr lives depended on it could not tell
a cider-nill from log cabinn, began all ola sud-
den, to lisp most delicate and splendid nonsense a
bout the splendor Of Mr. Van Buren's blue broad
cloth cloak, his gold spoons and his coach and En-
g'ish hoods, and the old frock and sleeps greys
of the poor mans candidate who if elected would
fill their pockets with Money to the brim. All these
things have been done by agreement-have been
done to carry ont the federal plan of operations
| to abuse insult and deceive the labOring classes
into the support of Gen. Harrison. 1t remains to
be shown, as it was most triumphanlly, that the
good sense of the aboring men in the United
States is proof against all this shire nonsense.
| But, again say the opposition, the present fnan-
cial embarrassnents are solely attribute TO the de-
struction of the National Bank and the attempt of
the democratic party to establish an Independent
| Treasury.
