praises nothing more certainly nothing
with clearer demonstration than that where
wages are the lowest, there is the greatest
poverty and suffering; there the condition
of the laborer is most forlorn and wretched;
there is the least moral and intellectual cnl-
ture; and there cur race is sunk into the
depths of political degradation, incapable
of raising itself to that lofty elevation at
tanned by free enlightened people, capa-
bic of governing their own affairs. II
tends to the opposite of every thing dear
est to us, for the descent will carry with 1t
not only wages, but all the high qualities
which fit us to be what we arc--free and
Independent. This is sufficient answer to
all that can be said upon the subject.
Such is the remedy for the disease which
afflicts our country; and while its advo-
Gates shadow forth its evils far beyond any
conception of mine, if the bill be carried
into effect, as has been proposed here, /
must eonfess that see in it nothing to
soothe or relieve the public-nothing to re-
store confidence, which is the great and de-
sirable end--nothing to avert future pan
ics-nothihg to stop this scramble after the
gold and SILVER going on between US and
other countries that has healing
Power enough to revive and maintain pros
perity.
But, sir, much as remains to be SAID,
must draw to close, as my object was
merely to notice some leading remarks o.
Senators, which have developed the new
and extraordinary doctrines Of this Admin
! istration. | was anxious to vindicate the
rights of the great mass of the people, who
acquire their support by labor, and whose
interests, as laying at the basis of all pros
/ pcrity, have at all times and on all httins
occasions espoused and inaintained with
whatever of ability possess. In this, sir,
| have taken great and sincere satisfaction,
| believing 1t to be the great end Of our fret
Government, and the only sure means o.
sustaining it. In the name and IN behalf o
that groat, powerful and enlightened cias'
of nv fellow citizens Of Massachusetts,
whom have the honor to represent, en-
ter my solemn protest against the doctrIne
here advanced; and if my voice coui'
reach them in their dwellings, their shops
and on the decks of their vessels, woul'
exort them not to be deluded by false the
cries leading them on to ruin, but to rous
up their energies, and, at the ballot box
manifest their indignation at all attempts t
oppress them by diminishing their business
and taxing their labor to enrich others
[ would entreat them not to sit still and b
made such as they see the distressed ant
impoverished laborers of Europe AM
Asia.

Extensive CoSTLA0RArioS At NV YORK
DISTINCTION OF TuE LATINO OBSERVATORY,
&c. Sc.-A ERE was discovered between IL
aud o'clock Saturday morning in COOP
er's shop in Forty-third street, near the Lat
ting Observatory, and before the progress OF
the flames could be arrested, they communi-
Gated with that building, which was soon
one mass Of fire, presenting u fearful grand
spectacle. The fireman soon reached the
spot, but notwithstanding their powerful
and well directed efforts, the FIRE continued
to extend, and was not checked until IL
reached Forty-eighth street, where resi-
dence was consumed. Some nineteen other
buildings were totally destroyed, and the
CRYSTAL Palace WIS saved only by the most
unremitting exertions Of the policemen and
firemen. IL was on FIRE several times, and
received considerable injury. The loss
DO immense.
The spectacle presented when the Latin &
Observatory was in flames was one OF the
most brilliant ever beheld in the city. A
sheet Of fame, perfectly white, extended
FROM the bottom to the top Of the building,
which was composed Of the most intlAmma.
bic material. This whole tower fell At once
fearful but brilliant sight to the thousand;
on the ground, Illuminating the whole north
ern part OF the city.

Local Issrrs.-We notice that some o.
the Buchanan papers, some oS the Fillmor'
stripe, like the New York Express and y
Y. Commercial, speak Of local issues having
contributed very much to the success Of the
Republican party in this State, and are fool
ish enough TO declare that such issues being
out in the November election, will not opc,
rate in favor Of Col. Fremont. All such
declarations are made by men who are
either ignorant Of the true condition Of sf.
fairs here. or they are dcsignedly made for
the purpose Of conveying false impressions.
No slectionbefore in this State, w.s 30 sim
gularly free from local issues-she solo
thought of the people was upon the Slavery
question, and Col. Fremontw Us regarded on
,hs one hand as being opposed to the sIten-
siOn Of Slavery, and Mr.. Buchanan in its
favor. The majority for Fremont in Novem-
Der in Maine, will be larger than that given
to the Republican ticket in the election just
passed, by thousands.
