'Ten Cent JimmV.,,

The reports of the Fremont mass meet
ings of the people in the Western States
show that there is apopular appreciation Of
the Justice and Propriety of the name "TEN
CENT JIMMY" applied by the mechanics OF
Pennsylvania to Mr.. Buchanan. Inscrip-
tons containing this souJriquet, and allu-
sions to Mr.. B's. low wages speech in the
United States Senate, prove that in Indiana,
Ohio and Wisconsin, the masses understand
him to be the gentleman who wished to
bring the wages of American labor down
to ten cents a day. Are they in error in
this impression?
The old federalist Senator represented q
manufacturing State policy. Socially he
represented the body of wealthy Pennsyl-
wanna employers. Unmarried, childless and
rich, he had no sympathies with the work
lngmen, who were separated from him in
person and feelings in the Leiglature.-
The propretors of mines, and of furnaces,
forges and rolling mills We're most of them
his companions and friends. He was nat
urally disposed to aid them. Being polit-
lcally bound to oppose protection of Amer
lean manufactures he could profit the cap
italists only by reducing laborers' wages.
On the 22d ofJanuary, 1910, Mr.. Buch-
anan accordingly addressed an argument to
the U. S. Senate, of which he was men,
Der, in which among other things he said:
"In Germany, where the currency is
purely metallic, the cost Of everything is
REDUCED TO A HARD MONEY

and which had been a standing charge
against him in the South thoug ghout this
campaign, which has defeated him. Here
it is, as it is copied from Southern papers
E"I Am NO SLAVEHOLDER-I
NEVER HAVE BEEN-I NEVER
SHALL BE. deprecate its existence in
principle, and pray for its abolition every
where, where this can be effected peaceably
and easily for both parties"
1t was no doubt this reasonable SEN
timent, SO offensive to the selfrespect" of
the south which has defeated him. So
mote it be! If the converse of this SEN
timent be the ultimatum of the South,
about which there can be ''no compromise" !"
God be praised! in a case so clear, in a
cause SO just We love to fight, and rather
than see slavery ertend one inch beyond
its present limits, aCe would rather see this
Union rent asunder, dearly as we do aoso
and eyer hare cherished it. If the politi-
cal union of these states is only to be pre-
served by burying our consciences and
yielding assent to the doctrine that ''slave-
ry is no evil" and after submitting to such
moral degradation, to be told that the gov
ernment, in order to be safely administer
ed on such principle, must constantly be
kept in Southern hands; if under our own
constitution we have got to give slavery
and slave labor the same footing on free
SOL with freedom and free labor, and run a
tilt over the world or wherever our terrific
rial acquisitions may be, with this damna-
bic institution; then better that the tie of
the confederation be broken than submit
to such dishonorable terms. No. Dear
as this Union is to us, and ferventIv as we
desire that time, while it crumbles the false
foundations of other governments, may
add stability and glory to ours; yet rather,
far rather, would we see it resolve into its
original elements tomorrow, than that its
duration should by maintained on princi-
pies so fatal to public virtue and political
freedom. We warn the South against this
mad scheme of extending slavery into ter
ritory aoo free. The North aUiU not sub
NIT to 1T. The bounds of slave territory
in this Republic are fired! Justice and hui
manity have.demanded it, and the popular
will has decreed it. AS says Senator Da-
Wis, so say We; let there be ''no compro-
mise" on this subject.
Consistency quotha9 Our neighbor is
who dares affirm the contrary |
Consistency still is part of his plan,
He is true to ONE party, and that is-himsel,"
But what are we TO think of his savage
attacks upon those who dare think now as he
thought eight years ago, and to express
such opinions with something like moder-
alton? 'Myers," ''he says, chad the rots
for years. (Query, since '4s.) Nothing 5aa
ofice has kept him in the line, and when
that run out his Democracy run out, too"
A marvellous thing is office in its operation.
Our neighbor says, that the Democracy
runs right out of man the instant you
pull the spigot of office out of him. But
Judging from his own case, replace the
spigot and you may pour barrels of that
same Democracy into him, he will hold it
all, and thirsty souls can get the article of
him by the small measure.

@ AT the Buchanan Tippecance rally
there was delegation from Toledo, Ohio
near hundred strong, with a cannon and
music, which was SO shabbily treated that
they left the field in disgust. They inquir-
ed when it would be proper to fire sdutes
and were informed by John Petit, D. D.,
that he did not care anything about them,
and wished the cannon in the river. When
they attempted TO fire salute, Petit sent
word to them to stop their damn firing,
and called them drunken rowdies." Then
says the Lafayette JournGl:
Hon. James B. Stedman, Ex-M. c.,
mounted the cannon and addressed the
Toledo delegation, and a couple of hundred
other listeners. He came down hot and
heavy on the 'old brass piece" and that
Benton had told the truth when he charac-
terized Petit as "dirty dog" Dodd,
the Old Line candidate for Auditor of
State, and Lew Wallace tried to smooth
the matter over, but only half succeeded,
and the Toledo delegation struck their tents
and left the ground, rather dispirlted with
their expedition.

The streets everywhere were gay with
flags, streamers and stretchers, and the
pavement packed with people. Every de-
vice OF human ingenuity to give expression
to public sentiment was exhibited in the
procession. The river men, led by beau

quently in this section of the pegeant,
which was greeted all along the march with
loud huzzas.
The great and small manufactures and
work shops of Pittsburg and vicinity were
fully represented in the procession, the free
artizans working at their trades as they
moved on. The ring of the anvil was
heard, the clatter of the nail machine, the
shuttle of the weavers, and click of the
printers. The printers had their car and
banners-the Novelty Works their big
scale weighing Fremont and Buck, the
latter kicking the beam--the Variety Works
their car, notices, and "Fremont, o. K"
wrought in the specimens of the establish

veritable "Woolly Horse en- route for

Sleep, gentle spirit, would win
My way unto the silent place
Where thou hast rule,
And look upon thy veiled face
Around the porches of thy throne.
The host of spectral shadows stand
With folded wings,
Awaiting what thou shalt command
Strange shapes and countless as the starsl
Some meek-eyed young and angel bright,
Some pale and wan,
Some darker than the dreary night.
Fair hands uphold wreath Of flowers
Cold hands entwine the weed and thorn.-
Bright visions smile
And lonely phantoms ever mourn.
These, as they will our pillow haunts,
The fairer cheat US with their grace,
The darker forms
The paths oi life refrace.
fain would close the ebon door
By which these visions outward fly;
And never more
Discern thea with the inward eye.
Yet Will they throng, until the veil
Is lifted by thy parting breath,
And silent Sleep
Give place unto her sister Death.

The Great French Fraud.

We have noticed the perpetration in
France of an immense railway fraud. and
the arrest in New \ ork of some of the par
ties. engaged in it. Charles Charpentier,
the main man in this fraud, came over to
this country, but escaped arrest when lis
contederates were taken. He, however has
been caught, and is now in prison in New
York. Charpentier fled from New York
city into the interior, disguised himself by
shaving off his moustache, cropping his
hair, and wearing farm laborer's garb.-
He hired out to farmer near Newburgh
for his board and small wages, but was
tracked and caught.
In connection with this arrest is another
singular feature. An anonymous note
sent to some of the parties interested said
that at Tenement House No. 1877, West
