Treasury, said, in substance, II wish TO Heav-
en- that could make my voice heard by every
Manufacturer in New England, would show
him that it was for his Unrest to go for this
Bill" And his voice has been heard by some
of our rich manufacturers, and they see that
by reducing the price of labor and the price Of
wool, they can make more money than under
laws which would protect the laborer and the
producer from the expressions Of the rich.
And such of these men as are destitute Of pat
riotism, will no doubt, for mere gain, fall into
the scheme. They will get rich, but the pro-
Queer and laborer will suffer, will grow poor.
The following from the New York Express
shows how it works:
| Confessions ofa Wealthy Locofoco.-A few
days since we met an old acquaintance who
had formerly been a strong Wing, but he said
he had turned locofoco. On our expressing
our surprise, he gave his reasons in substance
as follows;-"You know" said he, 81 am a
large manufacturer, and employ great num-
Der of hands. Formerly, had to pay them
one or two dollars day, and then they pre-
scfibed their own hours and rules. Now
hire these very men at SO or rs cents day,
and regulate the hours and rules Then they
were independent, and worked or not as best
suited their purpose.-Now they are compelled
to work or starve, and are as humble and thank
full as possible, by this reduction of wages
which falls excessively them. save said
he, "eleven hundred dollars month, which
in a year is twelve thousand two hundred dol.
lars The articles manufacture sell as high
as ever. Now" said he, 81 like the doctrine

as we can relate it, 1t is made by one long

LOCOS,

Hear one Of your own leading organs talk
about reducing wages. The article below is
from the Museum, published in Cheshire co.
town Of Keene, State OF New Hampshire, by
one Cook. The man and the paper we know.
Some of the Loco-Focos seek now to deny
that their scheme favors a Reduction Of Wa
ges at all To such we commend the follow
ing extract from the Cheshire Republican and
Farmers Museum-a leading and bitter Loco
Foco paper in New Hampshire, formerly if
not how edited by EDMUND BURKE, one Ofthe
Loco-Foco Members of Congress from that
State, and now a candidate for reelection
Read it, Working Men. and see how exactly
it echoes the doctrines OF Buchanan d co..
Here it is
"Those who oppose a contraction OF our
circulating medium, have often stated as an
objection to the measure, that il will bring
down the price OF labor on a level with that IN
Europe II they mean that the real vaius Of
wages will be reduced, this statement is not
true. Bot if il is meant an equal amount OF
money, it IS true, and on this simple truth de-
Ponds, perhaps, in great measure the pros
perity Of this republic! Why do we import
from England such an immense amount Of
Manufactures Simply because the price Of
labor is less in England than il is in America
enabling them to manufacture cheaper than
we can. Cannot yankees, with their enter
prises and ingenuity, manufacture with as lit
tie amount Of labor as any people on earth -
Most assuredly. Cannot the means Of living
be produceS from the rich soil Of our HeW coun-
try with as little labor as from the sterile soil
Of old England Cerainly-wth far less
England annually buys Of US large quantities
Of produce. Yet under these circumstances,
England imports from America the ran mate
nal TO an immense amount, manufactures II,
sends il back 10 US, subject 20 tariff duties,
cheaper than we can manufacture II at home
When we reflect that only one fourth, or one
third (Which is the fact.) is paid for labor there
that is paid in this country, we shall be no
longer asionished at this result.
Bring do,rn The p,,es Of labor on ierei
ruth thai IN England, and we shall be no
longer dependent on England for such guam
title. Of unprecedented Of paying thirty

soon be able TO pay az we go'-and eventual

We offer the following in addition TO innumer-
able other similar testimonies, furnished by eye
witnesses TO the conduct of Gen Harrison at the
Battle Of the Thames. How many more sfida-
WITS like this vii, it take to shame to silence the
Infamous lies and ISLANDERS Of the administration
press in regard to this memorable con,estI
From the Cincinnati Republican.
READER, LISTEN TO THE TESTING
NY OF A GALLANT SOLDIER.
The following interesting correspondence
between Governor Wicklife and Col. James
Davidson, [present Treasurer of Kentucky
we take from the Commonwealth, of Frank
fort The letter of Col. Davidson is another
unimpeachable witness to the bravery and
generalship of the Hero of Tippecanoe, Fort
Meigs and the Thames Governor Wickliffe
and Col. Davidson, both served under Gen.
Harrison, The latter was one Of the "forlorn
hope" who charged among the Indians, a, the
battle Of the Thames.
From a long and intimate acquaintance with
Col. Davidson, we cheerfully subscribe to the
| comments OF the editor of the Commonwealth
"A Drawer and better soldier and truer pat
riot, never bled for his country than James
Davidson. He was pre-eminently distinguish
ed for his activity and intrepidiiy. He was
perhaps oftener employed by General Harri-
| son, in services requiring a remarkable de-
| gree of courage, amidst dangers, fortiude un-
der suffering, and promptness in executing
difficult and important duties, than any man
| in the army. We do not say this invidiously,
| for glory in the fame of all who served the
country. In the battle ofthe Thames, he was
particularly distinguished /; he received in that
action three severe wounds . one in the leg,
one in the abdomen and one in the breast
| M thaf hyad h.,,
he fought at the head Of his men till the last
armed foe had surrendered; and was not ia
ken from the battle field, on which, after the
action terminated, he sunk, till some time az
ter dark"
I'VE have heard Col. Davidson often speak
OF the shot received in his breast. The ball
in this instance carried the shirt into the breas,
with IT. So excruciating was the pain for the
instant, and with difficulty OF breathing, that
he drew the shirt from the wound with sud-
den jerk, bringing the ball with il, and after
wards staunched the wound with handful OF
leaves taken from the nearest tree. The
brave chieftan was engaged in no child's
play.
