The Union republishes much of Mr. Buch- anan’s celebrated speech upon the Indepen- dent Treasury bill to disprove the silly “ten cents a day” charge against him—that specch having furnished the pretence for the charge in question, of course through an effort to give his words a meaning never dreamed of by him, and unwarranted by any fair and gram- matical interpretation of his language. The following is the portion of the speech on which the charge is founded, which cannot be read by any fair-minded person without forcing on his mind the conviction that the allegation is wholly unfounded : “© We are also charged by the Senator from Kentucky with a desire to reduce the wages of the poor man’s labor. We have been often paleo! ag arians on our side of the house. It is something new under the sun to hear the Senator and his friends attribute to us a de- sire to elevate the wealthy manufacturer at the expense of the laboring man and the me- chanic. From my soul I respect the laboring man. Labor is the foundation of the wealth of every country ; and the free laborers of the North deserve respect both forthe probity and their intelligence. Heaven forbid that 1 should do them wrong! Of all the countries on the earth, we ought to have the most considera- tion for the laboring man. From the very nature of our institutions, the wheel of for- tune is constantly revolving and producing such mutations in property that the wealthy man of to-day may become the poor laborer of to-morrow. Truly wealth often takes to itself wings and flies away. A large fortune rarely lasts beyond the third generation, even if it endure so long. We must all know instances of individuals obliged to labor for their daily bread whose grandfathers were men of for- tune. The regular process of society would almost seem to consist of the efforts of one class to dissipate the fortunes which they have inherited, whilst anotherclass, by their industry and economy, are regularly rising to wealth. We have all, therefore, acommon interest, as it is our common duty, to protect the rights of the laboring man; and if I be- lieved for 2 moment that this bill would prove injurious to him, it should meet my unqual- ified opposition ‘Although this bill will not have as great an influence as I could desire, yet, as far as it goes, it will benefit the laboring man as much, and probably more, than any other class of society. What is it he ought most to desire? Constant employment, regular wages, and uniform, reasonable prices for the neces- saries and comforts of life which he requires Now, sir, what has been his condition under our system of expansions and contractions? He has suffered more by them than any other class of society. Tbe rate of his wages is fixed and known; and they are the last to rise with the increasing expansion, and the first to full when the corresponding revulsion occurs. He still continues to receive his dollar per day, whilst the price of every article which he con- sumes is rapidly rising. He is at length made to feel that, although he nominally earns vs much, or even more than he did formerly, yet, from the increased price of all the necezsaries of life, he cannot support his family. Hence the strikes for higher wages, and the uneasy and excited feelings which have at different iods existed among the laboring classes jut the expansion at length reaches the ex- ploding point, and what does the laboring man now suffer’? He is fur a season thrown out of employment altogether. Our manufac- tures are suspended; our public works are en aet our private enterprises of different kinds gre abandoned ; and, whilst othere are able to weather the storm, he san scarcely Procure the means of bare subsistence.” The Intelligencer continues to mourn over the dismissal of Mr. Crampton. It fears that Britain will retaliate by dismissing Mr. Dal- as, and that great excitement in the British popular mind will be the consequence. Nev- ertheless, the editor does not apprehend a se- rious disturbance of our relations with Eng- Jand—but inconvenience only His idea is, that had this Government continued to put up with the official presence of Mr. Crampton a little longer, Britain, in the pursuit of her own interest would certainly soon have withdrawn Mr. C. whose personal relations with this Gov ernment forbade the idea that he coald any longer be of service here.

UnrrariasisM ix Exguaxp —The London Inquirer says that there are 232 Unitarian congregations in England, including two free Christian churches, which are decidedly Unitarian in doctrine. Besides these, there are several churches which take no doctrinal name, recognise no theological creed, but are founded on the principle of open communion for all Christians. In Wales there are 28 Uni- tarian congregations, in Scotland 6, and in ireland 5—making in all 314 Unitarian oon- gregativus in Great Britain and Ireland. WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP Solicitous.—We are not a little amused at the dreadful stew into which the opponents of the election of Buchanan and Breckinridge have werked themselves over the idea that, after all, the former is no Democrat, and if elected will administer the Government on the principles of the party with which he act- ed some thirty or forty years ago—certainly at no time within the thirty years past. Now, the very best answer to this argument of theirs, is the fact that the Democrats have had thirty years of experience with Mr. Buch- anan as one of their trusted leaders, and in all that time have had no reason to lack con- fidence in him. They have never found him double dealing upon any point. He has been emphatically a reliable and safe leader, al- ways coming up fairly and squarely to the obligations of his political faith in due time. He has not progressed quite so fast as some others of the party; yet he has proved equal to every democratic emergency of the day. From Maine to Oregon, all who were acting with the Democratic party in good faith on the day before his nomination, accept him cheerfully as their standard bearer, and are perfectly willing to trust the destinies of their organization and the country in his hands; while hundreds of thousands of others, who until that day did not act with the Democracy, have already determined to aid in his elec- tion, as being in the present condition of American public affairs the plain path of duty for those who cannot consent to join in the en- tire prostration of the constitution and laws, to be involved in the triumph of the principles of Abolitionigm and Know Nothingism, in be- half of which only, ‘is his election being any- where contested. Lamartine and Desplace.—M. J.B. Des- place, of whose arrival in this country and brief sojourn in northern cities we have taken occasion to inform our readers, is now at Wil- lard’s. His mission is to introduce to the American public a new work, which his friend Lamartine is picparing for the press, entitled “A Familiar Course of Universal Literature,’’ designed to be published in monthly numbers, the proceeds to go to the liquidation of the heavy debts of the great French poet, literateur and philosopher, which are grinding him to the earth, though now sixty-six years of age. The mission of M. Desplace is not one of speculation. Ho comes among us of the United States with let- ters from Lamartine, characterizing him as a personal friend, making sacrifices in order to help him (L.) out of bis otherwise inextrica- ble difficulties. In euch capacity, and owing to his own accomplishments and high charac- ter, M. Desplace has been deservedly taken by the hand by the literary and scicntific fra- ternity of the North, all of whom are aiding him as faras possible. We hear that he pro- poses to ask Congress to accord to Lamartine the protection of a translation of his work to be published in this country for his own ben- efit—that is, the right to copyright it. We do not comprehend how this request can be complied with without setting at defiance the spirit of the existing copyright law of the Uni- ted States. While sincerely wishing well toM- Lamartine, we hesitate to advise for the ben- efit of any man, a change of the present copy” right law of this Government The Right Spirit—We have read with much pleasure, the proceedings of the Demo- crats of Berkely county, Virginia, held on the 9th of June to ratify the Cincinnati nomination. The meeting was addressed by the Hon. C. J. Faulkner. Resolu- tions were adopted approving the nomination of Buchanan and Breckinridge, and also the following, which does no more than justice to our present distinguished Chief Magistrate‘ ‘© Resolved, That whilst Mr Buchanan is now, and has for years, been the first choice of the Democracy of Berkely for the distin- guished station of President of the United States, we nevertheless cherish towards Presi- dent Pierce, sentiments of the highest admira- tion and esteem ; we acknowledge his loyalty to the Constitution, and his fidelity to the great trust which has been confided to him; we re- cognize him as one of the illustrious patriots and statesmen of this Republic; and we be- lieve that he will continue until the close of his administration to add to the high position which he has already acquired in the hearts of his gear ey and that his name will descend to the future generations as one of those eminent public benefactors whose lives have shed a lustre upon their country.”” The Trick and Farce.—The nomination of Speaker Banks, by the George Law-bolters Know Nothing Convention, was made with the understanding that he is to decline in favor of the candidate to be nominated by the Re- publican Abolition Convention, to meet to-day in Philadelphia, if not himself nominated by it. His nomination was simply a trick designed to sell out as many Know Noth- ing votes as possible to the Abolitionists- The George Law Convention in strength repre~ sented nobody. Its thirty-six delegates from New York have not, all told, a constituency of five hundred members who had not made up their minds to abandon “‘ American”’ partyism in every phase as a ‘“ good-enough-Morgan’”’ for its day, and vote the straight out Repub- lican Abolition ticket. His Reecord.—An inspection of the record of Col. J. C. Fremont, when for thirty or forty days in the Senate of the United States, wily probably make not a few of the members of the Abolition Republican Convention, opening to-day in Philadelphia, rather squeamish over the propositien to nominate that gentleman for the Presidency, unless they can stomach straight-out votes with the most ultra of the South upon slavery questions concerning the District of Columbia and elsewhere. The truth is, the Colonel's notions of slavery have undergone as material alteration sinco he be- gan to aspire to the Abolition Presidential nomination as those of Judge McLean have under like circumstances. What the latter wore formerly may be judged from the howl- ing and denunciation to which his judicial opinions upon slavery questions were treated. What they are now may be judged from his recent letters—baits for a nomination—swal- lowing Abolition in{all its phases as eagerly as he desires to have the Abolition Republicans Swallow him. Mr. Sumner.—We hear that Senator Sum- ner is “ keeled up’ at Silver Spring; F. P. Blair's rural residence. Thia is an odd state of the case truly, as all will comprehend who remember aught of Blair’s former position in politics. He will hardly have finished his political career appropriately, we fancy, until the Hons. Box Brown, Fred Douglas, and Dandy Redmond are nestling in his bosom. By the by, Doctors Miller and Boyle of this city, have completely pricked the humbug concerning the desperateness of Mr. Sumner’s condition. Their letters read in open Senate yesterday show that his case has been one of false pretences—neither more nor less—from beginning toend. The worst feature of it has been the fact that he has loaned himself to 80 bald an imposture upon the credulity of the northern public. The Great Meeting To-Night.—The Dem- ocratic ratification meeting to come off in front of the City Hall this evening bids fair to be the most immense gathering of human beings ever witnessed in Washington. There will doubtless be present thousands from George- town and Alexandria, as well as three or four thousand people of the Federal Metropolis. The sight of the vast throng will astonish the beholder, or we are greatly mistaken. Confirmed.—The Senate have confirmed the nomination of J. C. Murray, Esq., to be the United States District Attorney for the eastern district of Arkansas, vice L. B. Luckie, Esq , resigned. The Curront Operations of the Treasury Department .—On yesterday, the 16th of June, there were of Treasury warrants entered on the books of the Departmert— For the redemption of stocks For the Interior Department. From miscellaneous sourc On account of the Navy..... 3,630 19 Navy appropriation warrants.... 3,089 56 epee or CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS In the Senate, yesterday, Mr. Clayton in- troduced a bill supplementary of the “ Act to rganize the Territories of Nebraska and Kan- sas.’’ Mr. C. addressed the Senate, urging the adoption of prompt measures for the set- tlement of the difficulties in Kansas, which threaten evil consequences to the whole Union He felt it his duty, untrammeled as he now was by party ties or fealty to any candidate for the Presidency, to present a proposition for peace ; and in this work he invoked the aid of the experienced and reflecting mem- bers of the Senate. He pointed out briefly his objections to the bills of Mr. Douglas and Mr. Seward, and expressed his opposition to any measure for the early admission of Kan- sas into the Union esa State. So far from such a step quicting the country, it would ov have the tendency of increasing existing evils. He said that, coming from a State partly slaveholding and always conservative and true tothe Union, he felt that he might with propriety interpose a measure of peace and conciliation. He offered it with the hope that it might be met in a spirit of candor and patriotism, and be the means ot disporsing the darkest clouds that have ever lowered over this happy country. The bill was ordered to be printed Mr. Adams, of Miss , then addressed the Senate at some length in support of his bill to amend the naturalization laws so as to extend the term of pnneuee of an alien to twenty- one years. r. A. quoted some passages from the views of the old statesmen of the country at the formation of the Government, and of eminent men since that day, including Mr Buchanan, and presented statistics, bearing upon the present condition of the country, to show that by the infusion of forcigners the most serious results might be apprehended to our republican institutions. 0 vote was taken upon the bill, and the Senate adjourned to Thursday. POLITICAL ITEMS. Over a thousand people ratified Buchanan’s nomination at Lancaster, Pa., oa Saturday Col. Richardson of Ill , Preston of Ky., and Gov. Brown of Miss., addressed the meeting. The Republicans of Easton, Pa., hold a large meeting on Saturday. As “ neighbors and friends of Gov. Reeder’’ they introduced a resolution calling upon him to say whether he adopts the Cincinnati platform as his polit- ical creed, or will unite with those who op- pose that platform in his future polities! ac- tion. John Van Buren, in a sensible letter of adhesion, says: ‘In my judgment the ranks of the party do not contain two men more able and upright, or better fitted to the respective offices of President and Vice President of the United States than Messrs. Buchanan and Breckinridge.” The Know Nothing papers of Vhig are de- serting Filmore’s standard by scores. The Germantown Locomotive has guve over to the Democrats, and the Newark Times and Day- ton Journal have just joined the ranks of the Republicans The Fillmore Know Nothings ef Ohio find it very difficult to get their candidates to accept their nominations Judge H. V. Peck has written a letter declining the nomination for Supreme Judgo, on the ground that he has never been a member of the order Col. M. 8. Perry has accepted the Demo- cratic nomination for the office of Governor of Florida The Know Nothing State Council of Cali- fornia met at Sacramento on the 13th of May, with a good representation from all parts of the State. Resolutions were adopted removing all secrecy and the different degrees; also en- dorsing the Nebraska question and the nomi- nation of Fillmore and Donelson. The Know Nothings of Florida have nomi- nated Hon. David S Walker, of Tallahassee, for Governor, and James M. Baker, of Colum- bia county, for Congress. pe GEORGETOWN CORRESPONDENCE Georgetown, June 17, 1856. We seem to be destined to get one fill of ex- cursions and pic nics this season. Scarcely a day passes with one or more, leaving either for some point on the River, or the Great Falls. Yesterday the packet boat M. C Meigs, of the Messrs.

This kind of thing may do well «nough fora time; but it will scarcely be found Dey in the long run. A Mr. Rhoads takes it upon himself, in the Star of Saturday, to caution the public against pur- chasing Spratt’s Lightning Rods, and says ‘‘their Points prove to be nothing but pewter, and are entirely worthless’? This statement is untrue, and Mr. Rhoads must have known that he was guilty of a gross and ungentlemanly misrepresen- tation of the truth when he made it The points in question are pure copper, piated with siiver, just as they are represented to be; and it isa matter of surprise to me why Mr Rhoads should utter an untruth concerning them, which can be so easily refuted. I am pleased to state that I have heard no complaint whatever f om any one in this city, to whom I have furnished Spratt’s Lightning Kods, they have each and all expressed themselves perfectly satisficd in every respect In regard to the reds sold by Mr. Rhoads I have nothing to say—that 1s a question to be se’tled by those who buy them. But J cannot help remark Ing that a man who has a really good article for sale is never in want of customers. We can find plenty of buyers, without falsifying truth and crying down those eng+ged in the same line of business. A business man who cannot compete with an opponent without descending to wilful, untruth and dark intimations, must have very lit- tle confidence in the intriasic value of his own merchandise.
