10 Hon. JOHN DAVIS retired from the Council
Board of Massachusetts and relipquished the sta
ton of Governor of that State on Wednesday,
The history of his last career as Governor is In
structiye. After filling the stations of Member of
Congress and Governor with eminent ability and
success, he had been chosen O. S. Senator for
six years aud taken his seat; when, IN l840, ne
was incidentally called out by an ant-Whig speech
os Buchanan of Pa in relation to the policy Of the
Country and the bestnioae Of encouraging It's Man
ufacturing Industry. Mr.. B. coatended that the
true course was to diminish oar Currency, and
thereby enable our Manufacturers to make Cloths,
&c. cheaper Tin money price) than they could be
made elsewhere-that is, by reducing greatly the
prices of Materials and Labor. This proposition
Mr.. Davis promptly met and ably confutsd, show
ing that while it would greatly reduce the pay of
the Laborer, it would not correspondiugly reduce
the price Of the Foreign Products and many other
articles consumed b. him. A more searching,
convincing argument has rarely been made in Con-
gress. Nrs Buchanan was so discounted that be
vshemently protested he had been misreprsssntea,
and he's never SINCE heard with patience any allu-
sion to his low wages doctrine. The whole
party silently decamped frem that ground, and
The San here even undertook to make the Work
ing Men believe that the destruction of Paper
Money would increase the Wages Of Labor!
Mr. DAvIs's Speech was SO forcible and true
that his name becane talsman with the Wings,
and those OF Massachusetts insisted that he must
,arow up his four or FIVE prospective years in the
Z. S. Senate, lwhere he was most useful, inhuen-
sial and contented, and become their candidate
for Governor again. They would not take No for
an answer. and he had to consent. Well: he has
served them tive years, as ably, faithfully, and
farltlessly 81 man ever did and what is his re-
ward Why, some 5000 esihem become piqued
OF sullen sbou; the course of events Q, Washing

hin be defeated; and Marcus Morton come in

Of ever 10000 Call you this backing your
friends We hear much Of the hollowaess OF
public men, the faithlessness of Po,icians-is
there not some kekleness and desdness to honor
manifested BY the People alsoa In our judge
msn,, the Wings of Massachusetts owe it 10 good
faith and joan DAVIS that he be put back INTO
the U. S. Senate the very FIRST opportunity, and
that they be henceforsh ready fer aha, opportunity
