Mr.. BUCHANAN AND Low WAGEs.-We
give nm extract or two from speech deliver.
ed by him on the 22d of January, 1910:
"The foreign manufacturer goes home, pur.
chases his labor, his wool, and other articles
which enter into his manufacture at half their
cost in this country"
"Reduce the nominal to the real standard of
prices throughout The toorld, and you cover the
country with blessings and benefits.
"Articles are manufactured in France and
Germany for one. half their actual cost in this
country" Mr.. Buchanan's speech of JAM
uary 22d.l
The average of what Mr.. Buchanan consd.
cred the "real standard" of wages at the time
in Europe was about ten cents day, viz: In
France, from to Is; in Germany, from to
IA, and in Holland from to 10 cents per day.
1t was reduction of wages to this standard,
by an exclusive specie circulation that Mr..
Buchanan thought would "cover the country
with blessings" Working men have very
different views Of the matter.-W Washington

Mr.. FILLMoRE's PRosPEcr.-An Old and
Retired Wing, who writes to the Baltimore
American, gives cheering account of the
prospect of Mr. Fillmore. He observes: "a
great effort is being made'to persuade the
Southern Wings that Fillmore ia not avail.
able, and that they should support Buchan--
an, Cor fear of the election Of Black Repub-
lcan. Why may not the fear be expressed
that Buchanan is not available, and therefore,
that voting for him may elect Black Re-
publican! 1t is thought by many that Mr..
Fillmore is stronger in New York, Pennsyl-
vana and Ohio than Mr.. Buchanan. There
is strong probability that Mr.. Fillmore will
get Maryland, Delaware, Tennessee, Ken
lucky, North Carolina, Florida, Indiana, Al
ALBANIA, and he has equal chances for nam.
ber of other States. At this time no one can
say that Mr.. Fillmore is not stronger than
any other candidate; and should the old
Wings support him generally there is no
doubt of his election. | ngain ask why they
should not do SO! Let them not be fright
encd by the cry, that unless they support the
Democratic nominee, FREMONT and Dayton
will be elected"

W-Afer Mr.. Jefferson become President
he issued the following:
MR.. JEFFERsoN's CIRCULAR.

MR.. JEFFERsoN's CIRCULAR.
"The President of the United States has
seen, with dissatisfaction, officers of the Gen.
eral Government taking, on various occasions,
active parts in the elections of the public
functionares, whether of the General or of
the State Governments. Freedom of elec.
tions beng tin to the mutual independ.
ence of governments, and of the different
branches of the same government, so vitality
cherished by most of our constituents, 1t is
deemed improper for officers depending on
the Executive Of the Union to control or in.
fiuence the free exercise of the elective right.
This am instructed, therefore, to notify to
all Offices within my department holding
their appointments under the authority of
the President directly, and to desire them to

feet to his prejudice; but il is expected that
he will not attempt to influence the votes OF
others, that being deemed Inconsistent with

The great principle of Jefferson Democrn
cy, upon which the foregoing circular was bas
ed, is laughable to scorn by our modern bo
gus Democracy, whose most active and eff
cient electioneering agents are the Fedora
officers.

FILLMORE AND THE USroN.-Mr. Fillmors's
progress through his native State is compared
with peculiar felicity to that Of Harry of the
West in his pamiest days. There ore many
points Of resemblance between the two illus.
trious men; their sincere love for the Union,
their undylng patriotism, their total forgetful-
ness Of self, their outspoken chvalrous Ian.
guage, and their noble presence which "gives
the world assurance of man." Since the
death of Henry Clay speech has produced
so profound an effect upon the American
heart as that delivered by M;llard Fillmore in
the capitol at Albany. It has awakened long,
silent emotions; IT has portrayed in glowing
words the dangers that menace the country;
it has rebuked the spirit Of sectionaism; Is
has revealed the shortcomings of the timid
and vacillating; it has caused the faithful to
renew their faith from its fountain head--ths

Gov. JoNEs' Position DEFINED ANEW
The Old Line Wings of Washington city
held meeting, few days ago, at which Gov.
James C. Jones, of Tennessee, was present
and made a speech. In that speech he is
reported to have said: ....f
'If see fit to give my vote 10 the Ameri

other hand, Judge best to give it to the De.
n.ocracy, then shall do that"
In another part of the same speech, Gov
Jones said
"The Wing party is in a condition to bs
free, patriotic and candid; to act above oil the
allurements of place. We ask nothing; w
expect nothing; We want nothing. We car
vote for the Democracy II we judge fit; We
can vote for the Americans If we think thai

A SHALLOW TRICK EXPOSED.

The desperate condition ofths Au,i.Amer.
leans at the South, has forced the organs and
leaders to attempt the pcrpetration Of bold
fraud upon the people Of the South by per-
suading them, IL the election Of President
goes to the House Of Representative, the
Black Republican candidate will be elected;
and they cite the election of Speaker Banks
to establish the correctness Of their asser.
tion. They know, and every intelligent
man who has investigated the sub ject knows,
that such a result cannot occur unless the
Democratic memberes from Iowa ard Cal.
ifornin vote for Fremont. The truth of this
declaration is easily demonstrated, and we
shall proceed TO that demonstration.

New YORK, July 9.

Mr.. Fremont's acceptance of the Black Re-
publican nomination for the Presidency has
been published. He pledges himself TO no
particular policy to terminate Sectional Con-
troyersy, but suggests as practical remedy
the admission of Kansas MS Free State, and
thinks that the South should earnestly desire
such consummation TO vindcate> its good
faith, and correct the mistake committed in
repeating the Missouri Compromise, as the
North having then practically the benefit of
that agreement would be satisfied and good
feeling restored, and the measure, moreover,
would be perfectly consistent with the rights
of the South and even vital to it's interests.

There is not and never can be any enthusi-
