TESTIMONY OF MR.. BUCHANAN.
In "a speech delivered by the Hon. Jane,
Buchanan before the members of the
pennsylvania Democratic State Conyep.
llon' in August, ls4o. when speaking of
Gen. Harrison over Mr.. Clay, he says:
"The Wing party had in MIR. Clay a csndi.
date Of whom they may have been Justly proud
a man OF bold and fearless hssrt--.s man Of
high and commanding eloquencs-and a man NJ
distinguished ability. Although opposed 10 hi.
political principles, yet have ever felt for him
the highest regard" "'

1t seems to have entirely escaped the at
tention the free-traders that if they could
succeed in breaking down the Home Manu-
factures they would not only destroy the
Home Market for agricultural productions
and mec hanical fabrics, but :bev would dis
engage the immense amount of labor and
capital now employed In manufactures
Where are this labor and this capital to go ?
Mr.. Evans gives the true answer, and points
out the mischIevous consequences to the ag-
riculturalist and especially to the cotton
grower
THAT labor and capital when liberated
from manufactures would have to go to in-
crease the already enormous amount enga-
ged in agriculture.
L., ,lftI-
raj products and, indeed it was necessary to
drive off some portion of The capital and la
Dor from agriculture into other pursuits for
he purpose of affordicg Il market for agri
cultural products Who is to consume for
tv millions of manufactured goods after the
destruction of such an amount OF industry
Our capacity for consumption would be di
minished by the want of profitable employ
ment.
The effect of transferring to Europe the
manufacture Of the forty millions of com
modities would not be so beneficial to the
South as the Senator supposed We cannot
expect that Europe Will consume forty mil
| lions more of our products because we en-
! ploy their labor and capital in mannfaclu
| ing for us forty millions 10 goods. very
| large part of the cost of producing the goods
consisted in wages of la5orors and in neces-
sary expenses OF living. The increase of
the manufactures in England, therefore,
might raise the value OF agricultural produce
in England, but it would not increase the
ability to consume our cotton. The profits
on the manufacture would not be expended in
the purchase Of cotton, but in the products OF
England-in the food, clothing, and habita-
lions for laborers 1t would enable their
people to live better at home. All the benefit
would attach 10 the foreign manufacturer
and not to the cotton grower in this country

THE TARIFF.
[From the Republican Banne

From the Republican BanneT.I
The opponents of the Whig Tariff policy |
must get up new set of sophisms before the
Presidential campaign is opened: for the pub
lie has, we doubt not, become heartily tired
of the old ones.
The whole of their clamor about the i'm
mense bounty given to manufactures has for
its ground work the idea that if we add
duty on imported foreign articles, the Prace
OF those articles must necessarily rise tothe
amount of the charges consequent upon the
duty.-Now who does not know that all er-
pe,ience is against this assumptions No
consi .era5le rise has taken place upon any
article on which duty was laid, and gerer-
al!v there has been material fall of price
This was forcibly urged by MT. Evans,
in his recent speech:
"Ifthere was no competition here, and if
the foreign manufactured always sold bis
goods for the cost of produo ton, transporta-
ton, and delivery in our market, the theory
would be true. But this was not the case
Was there no such thing as enormous pro-
fits on foreign merchandise sold here2
What proportion did the cost of production
aud delivery here bear 10 the profits made bv
manufacturers, shipowners. and mere hants
n vast amount Udu 1Ouc iiitO tbCii h"hoS
from the sale ofthe goods imported into this
country. When we rely on a supply of
goods from abroad it becomes the interest of
ma nufacturers to watch our market. to hold
back the supplies of goods, and keep mp prl
ces. They take care that the market shall
never be so overstocked as to depress the
prices But, as zoe do not rely on foreign
naanufactureS lohOliy, COMPETITION REDU-
cEs PRICE Prices have declined after
the imposition of increased duties.
Again: The effect of the duty is very IRE
quently 10 take away the large profits of the
dealers and manufacturers; aud thus decrease
10 the consumer the price of the Article.
Hlf we ALLOW ourselves to depend wholly
on foreign supply, the foreasa deater tostt
