March 6Mr Buchanan charges Mr.. Davis with
having made false inputations' with flagitious'
designs, and peculiarly infamous conduct, in his
(Mr. D's) reply MS published.
Mr.. Buchanan published his own speech in the
Globe eteren days after the delivery OF Mr.. Davs's
speech, and ali,des twice in that published speech
to the arguments Of Mr.. Davis.
II is not until about twenty-five days after the
publication of Mr.. Daviss speech, that Mr.. b. cou-
ceives the idea of complaining of msrepresenta
ton.

same impressions from him that Mr. Davis did
But any intelligent man who will read Mr. Btu
cl'anan's speech, as published, will be satisfied that
the drift ofthe argument is to show that in order
to compete with foreign countries, we must reduce
our cnrre ncy, prices and wages, down to The hard
money standard. his Argument is associated
with the reasons he gives for the establishment Of
the Sub Treasury.

sitting Immediately behind him, and rec ollect soon
after, to have cong graduated him on making one
| otthe most conclusive arguments we had heard.

The published report is faithful one. We con-
clude therefore, that it has become the policy of
the Locoiocos, when they are thrown in argument,
to deny that they took The position which
they have failed to maintain.
MIR. Buchanan listened TO the delivery of Mr.
Daviss speech, and not only did not interfere with,
or object 10 il, but afterwards actually compliment
ted Mr. Davis.
! 1t was not until he felt the recoil of his effort
saw the working men abandoning lle udminisira
ton, and received oiurgations and remonsrances
from his own friends, that Mr.. Buchanan under
took TO diSavow his own offspring and lay ii, in
most exasperated and uugenIlemany spirit, at the
door of Mr. Davis.
