nF A Fnw wonbs TO FARMERS AND Me.
cBANlcs.-The great design which the present
administration has been labouring TO accom-
plish these eight years is, TO make the rich
richer, and The poor poorer. For this reason
the ollie Sub-Treasury Scheme is brought for
ward-its friends loudly proclaim the object Of
| It TO be the reduction Of images 4. property
All the Presidents messages have tended te
this. Senator Buchanan in late speech in
Congress, openly said he would like to have the
wages Of labourers reduced TO ttcenfy fire cents
per day. Yet this party is called the friend
of The poor man, and the Wings their en-
emies. Senator Davis in late speech thus
exposes this HuMsuo;-
"Suppose that wages and property will be
reduced one half by this bill--that is, If wages
are now dollar a day, they will be hat a
dollar and if beef and mutton are eight cents
pound they will be- -four; and SO of all the
productions Of the United States, and Of all
property created here. Upon this state Of facts,
as things are, the labourer would have at the
expiration ofiWenty days labour, ttrenty dol
lars to provide supplies for himself and family,
AS they will be, he will have fen dollars.
Now be it remembered that we buy and sell in
foreign markets by their standard Of currency,
and lowering wages and property here is TO
have no effect there, according TO the reason
ing ofihe advocates ofihe Bill, as their cur.
rency must regulate the price of wages & pro-
ducts; but cotton is TO sell g. goods TO bebought

fore, will come into this country no cheaper
If then, the laborer goes into market with his
money, as his wages are, he will have twenty
dollars to expend in tea, coffee, and sugar, and
the thousand necessaries which come from for
eign countries; but if be goes into il as they
will-ten dollars under the operation Of the
new theory-it is plain, therefore, that with
the same amount of labour he can purchase
but half as much foreign merchandise; in 9TH
er words, it will in effect be doubled in price
whileit is apparently the same"
~ It is not TO be denied, that a powerful
and desperate struggle, will be made by the
Tories 10 this State, TO carry in their candi-
dates, and we may as well understand it, and

regular organization is going on in their ranks,
and they will not leave n single thing uRdone,
which would in any way contribute TO their
success. II is our duty, as waichmen to sound
the alarm when danger is apprehended, and
we now do it, and say TO every Wing buckle
on your armor and keep il on, the campaign
has but just commenced; few of the out
posts Of the enemy have been taken, but
the citadel has not yet been stormed.
The enemy with which you have TO con-
tend is willy and anful; resorting to any
means which will! favor them, not coming out
as noble foe, but lurking about apd keeping
up an Indian warfare which is more to be fear
ed than any other
Is there Wing who will be so Indifferent 10
the good of the cause which he has espoused
that will not from this time forward rally aud
hold himselfin readiness for the coming puili-
cal contest. II there is, he should be cast off;
we want no such men they will operate like
dead weight upon the party, retarding its pro-
gress, and injuring the cause. We tell you
then, ns,r, and we hope the warning will be
needed, that the Tories are a1ake, putting
forth all their energies, and doing their ut
most 10 defeat us. Shall we suffer disgrace
ful defeat, when we can with ease, if we are
united and diigent, win the ballle. We say,
no, and let every Wing freeman say no, and
prepare 10 do his duty, and we are sure Of
success. There is no doubt no uncertainty,
as to the result, if we put forth the proper ef
forts. There is a certainty If inactivity and
apathy, such as was manifested at the last
State election prevails, that we shall be defeat
ed. Wake up then, Wings Of Windham
County, be at your posts, whenever the watch
word Of "Harrison and Reform" is sounded in
your ears. Let the Tories see that you are
prepared to do your duty, and that you yet re-
main firm and true to the great principles laid
down by Washington.
