MIR. Buchanan, in his speech, much Iaud-
ded by the Globe, when it was delivered, but
which has been suppressed, since itwa so ably
answered by Mr.. Davis of Massachusetts, said:
EztrGct. from Mr. Buchanan'S Speech.
eREDUCE OUR NOMINAL TO THE
REAL STANDARD OF PRICES THROUGH
OUT THE WORLD, AND YOU COVER
THE COUNTRY WITH BLESSINGS AND
BENEFITS"
Here is the creed of the party in power
This is the purpose of the competition between
Benton and Buchanan. This is the end of the
Sub-Treasury scheme Of the administration!
and is the average price of labor throughout the
world? 1t is less than tacelue and half centsper
ddyu
What say you, laboring men; do you seek such
blessings as these? Do you believe that Mr.
Buchanan, and Mr.. Blair, and MIR. Van Buren,,
would work for twelve and a half cents per day.
You do not see them making any proposition to
reduce their salaries. No, it is the wages of la
Dor, and not the salaries of the sleek ofTice-hold
er that are to be reduced.
We would ask the federal admirers Of low
wages, why the Globe does not advertise Mr.
Buchanan's speech for sale. There is long
list of speeches, Advertised in the Globe but MIR.
Buchanan's name is not ON the list!

THE PEOPLE IN MOTION,

Our columns are to-day occupied with an ac-
count of the proceedings at st. Louis We rec
ognise among those who bore prominent part
the names of some who have been the supporters
of Col. Benton, and were original Jackson men
There are signs of breaking up of the old party
lines, and of a reorganization of the people to
assert their own power, and to enforce their au'
thority, that cannot be misunderstood. We can
not do better than to enable the people to speak

shocking accounts of the disasters at Natchez.

to supply orders to any amount. The admirable

The editor of the Vicksburg Sentinel, an in
telligent, ardent son of Erin, who thinks strongly,
and is not very choice in the words used to con-
vey his meaning, is surprised to find himself-op-
posed to us ON the Presidential question, and on
the credit system. If the advertisements of pro
perty for sale by the marshal, which fill his co
lumns; cannot modify his taste, nor convince his
Judgment, it were useless for us, much as we
know he respects our opinions, to argue with
him. But we will reply to his inquiry relative
to borrowing money from abroad. We do not
believe that this has been the source of the dis
aster that has overwhelmed the country. We
believe that the present administration and their
predecessors who first stimulated the local banks
greatly to enlarge their discounts, and then,b a
war upon credit compelled them to curtail their
accommodations, by first stimulating enterpris-
ing men to contract great debts, and then rob
bed them of the means of payment, deserve
the anathemas which the editor of the Sentinel
is accustomed to bestow on the innocent victims
The Sentiners indignation is all right-his APP
plication of it all wrong.

pened in city on the afternoon of Wednesday

wounds upon him with Bowie knife, and he
died instantly.
