the faithful in Indiana. Such facts are
worth volGmes ofarguments and theories.
They speak to the man who earns his bread
by the sweat of his brow, in a language
that cannot be misunderstood. The cry is
not "down with exorbitunt ren,s"-not

RFDucTIoN OF wAGEs--Pooa MEN LOOK
oUT!--Mr. Van Buren, Mr.. Buchanan, Mr..
Benton and other lenders of The party, are
for making this a hard money government
like Germany. CUBE, end other hard money
governments, where men get from four
to eight and ten pence per day for their la
Dor. Their hard money times are already
upon us, but not in full force. Already
does the laborer get, when he can get ans
work at all, from fifty TO seventy. five cts.
day-and already the farmer gets e5
cents for his oats, 35 cents for corn, so for
rye, and rs for wheat. Such are some of
the effects of this hard money system, in in
oul section of country. In other sections
they are still worse.-Ts 1t not time for a
change OF rulers? BY all means. Let us
have change then! and try old Tip for
our next President. He may, and proba-
bly, will do better, but he cannot do worse
than little Martin. TorchirM. f'a

charging pistol at Mr.. Vele, it either went

thut during the year past, the quantity rails
ed from the mines III that state, and sent
TO market amounts to seven hundred and
forty five tons, and that, at The ordinary
ratio of increase, the quantity for the pre-
sent year will not fall far short of million
tons. But the coal trade in itself consider
ed, is but a small part of the immense
wealth that ia to be derived from its exist
cnce. The great activity which it gives
to trades of all kinds and descriptions and
especially to the manufacture of iron in all
its various branches--the commerce which
it awakes on the ten thousand rivers,
streams and cansls---the cities built up by
this trade and commerce must all be taken
INTO the account in calculating the value of
the coal trade in Pennsylvania.

twelve Thousand So uare miles of this state
are underlain with its beds, ,he hall of which
are workable at the lepst estimate six mill

nexhaustibIe in quantity. The riches OF
some Of the connties in bituminous coal is
almost incredible. Tuscarawas county
has $50 square miles ufluud, and the beds
of coal are estimated to be equal to six feet

beds, capable of producing over 56o,oOO,-

seemed to provide for great and dense
population in these western counties, by
supplying them with inexhaustible supplies
of fuel, without which they could not exist.

TIE BLACKSMITH SPEAKER

John w. Bear, Blacksmith, from Picka-
way Co., has been addressing tile People
of Dayton, on various subjects,--tho Sub
Treasury Hard Times, Harrison,
Martin Van Buren,, &c. &c. He is snc
fool to say the least for him. On last
Saturday evening, and last evening, he kept
large audiences, composed of men of both
parties, at the Court House, listening with
much apparent interest to his exposition of
the evils Of the present administration, and
tn, remedies for them. We confess an
agreeable surprise for ourselves. We went
expecting To hear nothing but some keen
though coarse witlcisms, and broad humor
that mig makea crowd laugh but not think:
on the contrary, the man discovered ia ad
dltion to much that was amusing, vein
of strong good sense, the intelligence of
person who knows men and things, though
Ignorant of books, and power to reason
well in his own homely aud peculiar style,
calculated to be more effective with large
class OF people, than the polish st, le of a
more experienced speaker.
We understand that he has left his Gre
dentia!s at the shop of our friend Mr.. Sa-
mue Brown.-Dayfon Jour.
