The subsequent statements of Mr Buchanan may be considered lia ble to some objections as being, declara tion pendente lite. I shall firet-slfow what MrJSnchanan' ukJ not- say ana could .not have meant iiul altcrwarus attempt to ascertain wnat he did say and mean. . That he did not say that he wished to see the wages cf labor at all reduced, will appear, I think, from, these extracts from me speccn. ; "The SAiatdrrom Kentucky (Sir. Cm) says tnat the tricnu ot the Inilepcrvtent 1 reaaury iic utrc to establish nn exclusive metallic currcnev. a the medium of all the dealing? throughout tlio ynion; and also a reduce tUu wagea bf flic poor man's labor jo thai the rich employer may be able ir, irvuny Uietcorrceine8s ot ooth theso proposi tions." Again 4 "We arc. also charged by tho Senator Croni Kentucky with a desire to reduce the wagerfot tho' poor man's labor. Itis something new under the 6un, to hear the Senator and his friends attribute to us a desire to elevate the wealthy manufacturer at the expense of the laboring man and the mechanic. Undoubtedly the reduction contempla ted in the paragraph of the advertisement which I have cited at the beginning of this article, could not take place until the whole bank system was abolished. Such a policy is disclaimed in the speech very vehenienily. "I, for one, am not in favor of establishing an exctusfirc metallic currency for the people of this country. To reform, and. not todcstroys my motto. To confine- the banks to thciftipyropriate business, and prevent them from ministering to the spirit of wild and reckless speculation, by extrava gant loans and'jjssues, is ull which ought to be desired." . . . -. VC A IH'SC, ff economy caused by a well-ordered system of trade and transportation. ' That no reduction of wages is required below the ordinary rates they have'-yhherto borne in the times of healthy trade, is apparent from the fact that during such times we have always been able to maintain the ":i..mx Di i.

And this appears very fully upon the face. of the. argument. These extracts will 'show his views :' "What is if the laboring man ought most to do sire I '. Coistant enfployment, rruliir wages and wy?jrrrasonabI prices for tbe comforts and necessaries' of life which ho requires." "!Stirf!omiiijurfngit will greatly benefit the liiltorlng man.

If the wa ges.ol VTc laborer stood with other prices the general enchancement of value would not affect him otherwise than as the whole nation is affected by the overtra ding which it produces. v But it is "the opinion or Air. Buchanan, that when prices f isc from enlargement of the cur rency, the vages-of labor do not rise in a corresponding, degree, or with equal qVickness. "The rate of he laborer's wages," he says, 'is fixed and kn6wn ; and they arc the last to rise with the incrc;is'" rnni-i andj.b ---x-u- v lii.ll liiv timtpjnuiunijj luvuiMuu OC- niirs a. o ii scussiou (f f- nyfiopicglifc m impressions of intelligent and ,u Jitors votild in ttfemselves' be r, v elf nigiconclusivb'bf thtf.'atf I ii id views ' dif-playcd ; by any j ?ut political t'unomy is i a i s ten e.'.tre nc sui'ety, and one ti on stIrh nu e atifl difFiquUdis i at tho st.t.ldnf ofjftcVa.writ je s liuhle iv fcrfectly toappre id in somo '-as'l,- wholly, to fnvi the nt-anmg which hi is - i !y e iutiiiif : These discmsions ') i ;na cit wfJMy removed frotflie ' - h P' "-'P.i.i'Vf of'rnc'n ; antoe l '1" U y fu-ei confined boiitlrave f -nun ;) ili.tptt, tb u experience weald !.te. ;if!WrV.io- writ6fmu8t "jos i'iu..(Jli pcVsj ict;ity ? 5pechand 'fadorui rout' I I" rsniify 'ofmna. tie eitsv, H tio- n.iulc in appreheudino- ncory ' v.,nr; J '.und toittfl till a" iA'i p a th it iruroiry f6rwrlt 1 !a:.!-.-i!' u9 ctscumstanees 'v.tiiu jrll or wire of.MitBu "Via-i J rrv Jul nit immetliately f.tw&f', 'm ,Vijsi niitaiiutigadif. v(j it uicot;.;, u that charged upon him . .a (4, tK i not f-e?,it v decisive proiv mat rL ' j.na (H';r V. wov " 10' i is difficuUytif tqneeive how other parts "of the speech co'uld be interpreted as indi cating an opinion thus expressly denied, .unless thc.crror arose from an inability on the part of the readers to understand what distinct doctrine it was that Mr. Buchanan was maintaining. ' What Mc, Buchanan did say arid mean was shortly this. ; Irecohtentleu that a survey theicim merciaLhistory of tjie conntnLIngn period of tw'inty-five yarTwed that at certain intervals of lirdw"ncre had oc curred sudden 'arid excessive expansions oi tne currency, attenueu Dy a general rise ofpriccs ; that .consequent upon this rise of prices, was aaT.excess of the national imports over the expools, because the lor- mer were rflndcredrofjilitbiC arid th latter unprohtable. ; theft this dfttarbahce of the balance of trade was followed by that gen eral ruii whjch, ndcr the present banking sysloni, ;'. alwj's results from a serious riostuiiy of exwianges. I'rpm this exam inattpn of facts'he deduced the conclusion that the true method of preventing these periodical ruinous disturbances of the balances of trade tyts, to prevent those periodical and transJA-y rises in the pri ces, which were occasioned by excessive bank issues. The "doctrine" of Mr. Buchanan, therefore, was not that we ought to reduce the prices of labor or of any thing eke, below that average rate which they natur ally bear in the sound state of trade and currency ; -much less to the standard of foreign despotisms, but, his doctrine was, that we ought to prevent that extravagant - . ...i.:i, fi.
