Would in the hour of peril save,
And break the cppre_ssor's might.
Think’st thou the spirit that awoke

Is buried with them in their graves,
And lies both dead and cold?
Our men may how, our sons may fall
Into the net that’: spread,

Lies silent with the dead !

We will not bear the galling yoke,
And bow to slavery. "

For in"liei-‘veins there ruus"the blood
Of those who knew no fear.

The Times has, of late, paraded" an-
extract from a speech of , James Buchan-
an in its columns as a specimen of his
feelingsirelative to the respectability, of
labor. Yet this same James Buchanan,
modes " speech in: "the Senate _of the
United Stetes in favor of reducing the
wagesqf labor, and as the Times is
fond of quoting from the sayings of its
candidate, let them imitate our example
and trot that speech out.
When the question of _ the 'I‘arifl'
was being agitated in Congress, on the‘
22d,of January, 1840, Mr. Buchanan
spoke on the subject, and in the course
of his argument, made use of the fol-
lowing reuiarks.:, . _
"In_Gerniany, where, the currency "’ is
"purely metallic, and the cost of every-
thing is REDUCED TO A HARD
MONEY-‘STANDARD,’ a‘ piece _of
broadcloth can be. manufactured for fifty
dollars, the manufacture _of which. in
_,,,,,,,,_ _ our country, from «the expansion of pa-
‘ ‘_:z ‘per currency, would cost one hundred
dollars. " "" "‘ Iwould to heaven
that that I could arouse the attention
of every manufacturer in the country
to this subject. . . .

- Mr. Buchanan was understood by the
Senate thus‘ to recommend the reductioii
of "the wages of labor. Mr. "Merrick of
‘Maryland, in reply said :
"'Mr. President, as it has been argued
