A DISTRESSED IRON MASTER. We heard an &C
count of a conversation between two iron masters a
short time since, which admirably illustrates at
the nature of their distress, and the remedies by
which the Wing iron masters expect to relieve it.
The conversation the iron business naturally di-
verged,'' friend of ours would say to the tariff:
We must have higher tariff said one; %
am going to Washington, myself, Immediately
we must raise hundred and fifty, two hundred
thousand dollars: Congressman cannot be expected
to work for nothing any than the people will
give five thousand dollars myself-how much will
you give!" Much to the surprise of the questioner
the questioned answered that he would give nothing
and if he could not obtain higher tariff, Without
sorting to such means, he would do without it.
The first speaker was Whig-the latter Demo
crat. ...0 ...:s.
The iron masters cannot be SO completely ruined
as they would fain make it appear, if they are still
able to raise $50 or 100000 dollars funds wherewt
to operate upon members of Congress, and effect an
increase of duties iron. Doubtless much larger
amount would be judiciousy expended in obtaining
their object, and levying for its reimbursement with
compound interest tax upon all the iron consuming
interests of the country.

JUSTICE TO MR.. BUCHANAN

JUSTICE TO MR.. BUCHANAN.
The following, from the Pennsylvania, explodes
stale SANDER started by the enemies of James Blu
chanan:
"A WIG FALsEHooD NAILED. Some of the
Wing presses of the South, feeling the growing pop
uarity Of MIR. Buchanan, and knowing that he is en-.
trenched home, in the affections and admiration oil
the people, busily engaged in circulating the mos
ridiculous stories in relation to his past life. The la
coinage is, that at Lancaster, in 1920, in pub
lie meeting, he offered the following resolutions. We
publish the resolutions to show their ridiculous fall
siy
Resolved, That the representatives in Congress
from this district be, and they are hereby most ear
nestly requested to use their utmost endeaVors, as
members of the national legislature to prevent the
existence Of slavery in any of the Territories or
States which may be erected by Congress.
ResOlUed, That in the opinion of this meeting, the
members of Congress who, at the last session, sus-
tanned the Of Justice, humanity and PATRIOTISM
in opposing the introduction of slavery into the State,
then endeavoTed to be formed out of the Missouri ter
ritory, entitled to the warmest thanks OF every
friend of humanity"
The Hopkinsville (Ky.) Free Press, says emphat-
icay, that Mr. Buchanan offered these resolu-
tons; nd we reiterate the assertion, that the
charge is mere fabrication, produced in the South
for the purpose OF disappearing the man. Mr..
Buchanan has always been States Rights man, and
has strenuousy struggled against the whole abolition
creed. The best evidence of this is, that the abOli
tloniss have bitterly been against him, and at
tempted TO put him down. So far from his having
offered these resolutions, if mistake not in 1920,
Mr.. Buchanan was living in Kentucky, practising
law at Elizabethtown, and it was in that State his
sentiments on the subject of slavery formed,
and by these sentiments he has abided all his life and
yet abides. He supported Gen. Jackson and Mr.
Polk as Southern men and shareholders. He sup
ported Mr.. Van Buren,, in 1886 and 1910, under the
strongest pledges to sustain the institutions of the
South and in 1874, when Mr.. Van Buren, abandoned
his pledges, Mr.. Buchanan abandoned him. In l84S
he supported Gen. Cass, under such pledges as at
that time satisfied Southern When is ncontro-
verible that the Wings supported Gen. Taylor with
pledges from him to Corwin, Seward, Truman Smith
and others, in favor of free-soil. And Mr..
Buchanan proves still strongly the purity of his
principles by fully and unequivocay pledgiDg him.
