Ten Gents a Day.

James Buchanan in speech delivered by
him in the United States Senate in the year
1888, gave it as his deliberate opinion that
" ten cents a day aoas enough for la6oring
man." This will not be denied by honest men
of any party. The speech was printed in
pamphlet form by Blair & Rives, and many
copies are still in existence.
The country at that time was passing through
commercial crisis of unparalleled severity
All the banks had suspended specie payments
the government itself was bankrupt, and
business of every kind in a state of suspension!
Remedial measures for the distress, which bore
so heavily upon the people, were universally
denounced and this was the remedy, the pana-
ceG for all the ills thus endured by the Ameri-
can people, which Mr.. Buchanan proposed
Wages are too high, said Mr.. BuchanaA-that
is the secret of all our troubles We can never
compete with the laborers of Europe unless we
reduce the wages to the rate which obtains there.
Put down the wages of the laborer to ten cents a
day, and prosperity will once more crown our
efforts-our manufactures will again commence
operations, and our commerce will again -four
ish with renewed vigor.
Was this counsel worthy of man who as
pired to the reputation of statesman? Is it
by degrading and impoverishing the yeoman-
ry, the bone and sinew of the land, that great
nation is to be raised from depression to pros
perity Can free republic, of all other forms
of government, be allowed, by the conversion
of majority of its citizens, into horde of
paupers
|. The idea is too absurd to enter the brain of
any but pampered aristocrat or a heartless
oppressor of the working man. Yet it did enter
the brain of James Buchanan, and he gave it
utterance in the Senate of the United States,
and it went forth from the Capitol as sound
Democratic doctrine"
Such is the man whom the Democratic Ma
tional Convention have presented to the Dem
ocratic masses as their candidate for the Pres
idency. Such is the candidate of that party
which has falsely assumed for twenty years to
be the exclusive guardian of the rights of labor
and the sworn foe of the oppression of capital.
Can that man be regarded as the friend of the
working man, who would give him, in return
for days labor, the insulting pittance of TEN
cENTsp Can he be regarded as an enemy to
the oppression of capitalists, who would pay
the laborer less than his poverty EFFORTS from
the grinding avarice of the Austrian prince or
the calculating selfshness of the British land
lord of an Irish estate?

Buchanan in PENNSYLVANIA.

The Pittsburg Gazette" the oldest journal west
of the mountains, declares that in Pennsylvania
Mr.. Buchanan possesses no strength that may be
called formidable. His nomination simply keeps
those in the party who otherwise would have been
driven from it, but it brings no outside aid. We
have not seen or heard of one old line Wing, Re-
publican, or American, who will vote for him and
zoe knoD that there are hundreds of Democrats in
hs county oho voted for Pierce ,cho piit not, under
any circumstances, vote for Buchanan.
Sin 1852, Pierce carried Pennsylvania by an
immense majority, and he obtained sweeping ma
jorites in Greene, Fsyette, Westmoreand, Arm
strong, Clarion, Vcnango, Butler, Mercer, Craw-
ford, Warren, Mexican, Potter, Bradford Susque-
hanna, and Tioga counties. II was by means Of
these counties that he carried the State. In 1855
nearly all these counties will give heavy majorities
against Buchanan, and the few that win not do so
win be able to give but nominal msjorities for
him.

the Secretaries Of the Treasury and of the War

PROVIDENCE, June Z, 1855.
In order to set matters right with the readers of
your valuable paper in regard to- convention held
in this city OH Tuesday lest will makethe follow
ing statement
Only about 100 members were present, whereas,
ifevery Council in the State had been repi esented
in the convention, it would been composed ofover
200 members. a.6..t
Councils only were notified whom it was sup
posed would send delegates in favor of repudia-
ting Fillmore. Two Councils in this city received
no notification of the meeting of such convention
through the proper channels.
The President of the State Council, who was a
bolter at the Philadelphia Convention, could prob
ably tell why.
Many Of the delegates present have always act
ed with the Sham Republican party, and some were
members Of the Republican Convention which met
in this city last week
You are informed by telegraph that the vote to
repudate stood sixty-one to repudate, twenty
against. But you are not informed that on the
first test vote, Ia motion being made to adjourn
till Mr.. Fillmore could be heard from, the vote
stood forty-fve to adjourn, sixty against
AT this time, or before the final vote was taken,
about twenty-five delegates withdrew from the
Convention, satisfied that the majority were bound
to repudate the nominations.
A majority of the American party in this city,
and, believe, in the State, will support Fillmore
and Donelson. The young men of the party are
for him. Yours, respectfully,

Mr.. MASON continued his remarks against Mr..
CRIrTENDEN's resolution, which was as follows:
Be IL therefore resolved by the Senate of the
United States, That the President be, and he is
hereby, requested to employ the military SER
vices of Lieut.. Gen. Scott in the pacifcation Of
Kansas, and in the immediate direction and COM
mand of all the forces employed, or to be employ
ed, for the purpose, under such instructions, and
with such authority and power as the President
can and may think proper to give and to confer
Mr.. CRITTENDEN replied that General Scott
was an old man, and the President might feel some
reluctance to ordering him upon that distant SER
vice and, under the circumstances, he could see
no haym in making the suggestion to him.
Mr.. SEWARD expressed himself as being in
favor of-the proposition to send General Scott to
take command of all the government troops in
Kansas; but he thought, inasmucb as the Senate
was but one branch Of Congress, it would be well
to have the resolution changed into joint resou.
ton, having the concurrence Of the House of Rep,
resentatives lie was also in favor of striking out
the preamble, as all the facts in relation to the
subject were well known to the President and to
the country.
The further consideration of the resolution was
then postponed until to-day.
On motion by Mr.. BROWN, the Senate proceed

WELL ESoUGH TO REMEMBER 1.-THE West
Tennessee Wing refreshcs the memories of, its
readess with the recollection of the fact that in s52
the Democratic leaders opposed Gov. Joness efforts
in Tennessee, in favor of General Scott by charg-
ing that the reason the Governor was opposed to
Mr. Fillmore, as the candidate Of the Wing party
at that time, was that Fillmore was sound ON the
slavery question; that General Scott was an Abo-
litionist; and that the Governor was playing into
the hands of the enemies of the South.
1t will be well for the honest masses to watch
these same leaders Of the so-called Democratic
party, and see how they win change their tune
We say, watch them, We candid and honest men.

From the Nashville Patriot
Hon. Andrew j. DoneIson,s Southern RE /.
..H cord Six Years Ago.

Six years ago from yesterday, there was a pub
lie meeting of the citizens of this county called
TO appoint delegates to the Southern Convention
which assembled in June, 1850, in this city. The
present American candidate for Vice President at.
tended the meeting, and drafted the resolutions
which we're passed by it. He called upon in
hurry TO perform this duty, but careful reading
OF them will show that he did it WELL and imbodi-
Gu IN the third one the principle which all truly
SOUND men now recognise and proclaim as the con-
stitutional doctrine
MAJOR Donelson did this too, in meeting COM
posed OF ana controlled by members of that party
which had, not two years previously. supported
General Cass the doctrines Of his Nicholson let
ter-a doctrine now spit upon by the Union and
American, the fre-eatiDg organs Of those times as
" incompatible with the constitution. and I" of all
Others, most odious 10 the Southn
This act Of Major Donelson vindicates his con-
sistency in acting with the American party. which.
is now the only party in the country which in good
faith supports this doctrine. The third resolution
of the Davidson county meeting ofthe 9th of May,
1850, enunciates the same principle as the seventh
section OF the American platform. We append
three of the resolutions of that meeting:
/. Resolved, That 1t is the duty of Congress to
pass laws in accordance with the constitution rel.
alive to the restoration Of fugtivcs from labor and
for the better protection of the rights OF property
in the several States.
2. Resolved, That Congress has no power over
the subject of slavery in the States Territories
of the Union.
8. Resolved, That the claim Of California to be
admitted State of the Union, although not sane
toned by precedent, and brought forward under
circumstances which initiate against the constitu-
tional rights of the South, viii not be opposed by
this meeting If Congress, at the same time it ac-
cepts it, passes bills for the organization of gov
ernments in the remaining territory of the United
States, leaving the question of slavery to be regu-
lated as may best comport with the feelings and
interests of the inhabitants Of each Territory, as
it acquires the right to form constitution Other
'wise the admission of California cannot but be
understood as settled intention on the part of
the Federal Government to disregard the Missouri
Compromise, and to deny to the citizens of the
South that equality Of rights which the constitu-
| tion expressly guarantees
