General BeALL, of Ohio, and the additional evil
dence he furnishes of the deliberate designs Of
the Federal Administration against the interests
Of the lab0fiRg man. When some of the ad-
yocates of the Sub-ueasury, in the height Of
their arrogance and infatuation, and flushed at
The prospect of maintaining their ascendancy
over an oppressed and impoverished people,
dared 10 follow up the war-cry Of Perish Gre
ali perish Commercem with the shout of
aDown with Prices down with Wages y
and yentured to proclaim the reduction OF the
value of every species OF produce and property,
and the lowering of wages as positire adrian
topes-the first immediate benefits that would
aow from the new financial system--a storm
&C nublic indignation was excited, which made
them tremble for their places. To save them
selves and delude the people for while longer,
several Of the leaders OF the party in the United
STATES Senate made those extraordinary 'srecan-
tatons. which were the wonder and ridicule of
all who had heard their previous boastiul and
rejoicing rhapsodies about the blessings Of low
wages and low prices. Mr.. Clay's dramatic
sketch of the recaRters will never be forgotten
By any one who had the luck to be present.
The salt and cayenne of Mr.. Crttenden's wit
will long preserve his unfortunate victims, who
would not otherwise perhaps be remembered for
day. On this occasion, too, the peculiar course
Of the Senator from Pennsylvania gave new
word to our language, Buchananize," which we
venture 10 predict, will be not his least lasting
claim 10 the notice Of poSteritv
In spite Of these recantations however, the
lowering Of prices and Of wages was fastened
upon the Administration by the most ample and
ncontrovertible testimony, as their settled and
ayowed policy. Among the proofs adduced
were certain declarations of BENJAMIN Japan,
a federal loco foco Senator from Ohio-a par
ticular iavorite of the Globe and possessing the
entire confidence and friendship of Mr.. Van
Buren,. These declarations We're set forth IN
dispositions of Messrs. Wallace and Little, re-
pectable woollen manufacturers Of Steubenville,
Ohio and Mr.. WISE, justice OF the peace IN
the same place. The affdavits were subscribed
in the presence of 9 J. Collier, Notary Public,
Jefferson CO., Ohio 1t now appears that Mr..
Tappan made similar declarations to General
Reasin Beall, of Wooster, Ohio The Steu-
benviIle Herald says: "Gen. Beall is among
the most distinguished men of the State of
Ohio. He was an officer under Gen. Wayne,
a member of Congress, and an officer in the late
war. He was the President Of the great De-
mocratic Wing Convention held in Columbus,
in February last, and of the great democratic
meeting held in Steubenvie, on the 29th ult.,
and he is a gentleman whose standing, as to
vcracity, and in every other respect, cannot be
lmpeached. We mention these facts for the
information of our friends in other States. In
Ohio Cen Beall is so well known that it is I'M
necessary 10 aude to them"
Let farmers, artisans, industrious laboring
men, Of whatever occupation, read this letter,
aud see to what condition the pampered apos-
taes who lazily feed at the public crib, would
reduce them! The remedy is in your own
hands, fellow citizens, as peaceful and easy as
It will be effective. BE active, vigilant, and
united during the present campaign, and at the
polls rive your votes against the Destructives
and their candidates. All will then be we'll
