I now cheerfiillv an- peal to the Senate and to the world, to decide what ought to be thought of a Senator who has, over and over again, reiterated the asser tion in his printed speech, that I had support ed the bill oq principles which I not only did not hold but had expressly disavowed. Ihe Senator says I complimented him on his speech after he had delivered it. What passed between us on the occasion to which he refers, wes this, according to my best re collection. As X had not heard his speech, I asked hinifhe had done me justice in stat ing that I jyas not the advocate of a pure me J&llir; curieiey, but was friendly to well regu lated Stai 4.. jje rp, led thflt he. had; and 1 may then have compIunenieu titiiT for this cause, because I then considered that he had acted towards me in a fair and candid manner. I am. sorry that I have since been compelled to change my opinion of his con duct. I regret, as much as the Senator can do, that I delayed so long to expose his misrep resentations; tut I performed this duty, which I owed to myself, at the very first moment an opportunity prtsented, after they were brought to my knowledge. Until Saturday evening last, when I fi st read his speech, I was slum bering in security, not even dreaming that ihe misrepresentations of my remarks with natoi slept upon what he had said. It ap- whit-n the cuintry was tilled, had proceeded pears his friends had misunderstood him, and '.oin h,s puM 'shed speech.

We now publish the remarks of Mr. Buc hanan, which concluded the controversy be tween Mr. Davis and himself. As the debate partook of a persoual character, we have con sidered it our duty to publish all the remarks of both the gentlemen. The Intelligencer, however, unfair as it always is' has not pub lished any portion ofthe remarks of Mr. Buc hanan, since his original speech on the In dependent Treasury bill. Comment upon such conduct is unnecessary. W hon Mr. Davis had conrlndod b!a ra. marks, which were published on Tuesday last, Mr. BUCHANAN said: He had a few words more to oiFer, though ho did not consider it necessary to psoloug the controversy. He had already done him self ample justice, and placed himself in his true position before the country. When, on Tuesday last, said Mr. B. I in troduced my complaint before the Senate, I spoke of the Senator and his speech in a spir it of caudot, and with no purpose whatever except that of defending niysd!.

My charge against him' was, that he had over and over again assert ed, nay, that he had made it the very founda tion upon which a great part ol his speech rested, that I had advocated the Independent Treasury bill, because it would destroy the banks of the country, introduce au exclusive metallic currency, prostrate credit, check im portations, and reduce the value ot property aud the wages of labor. 'I his was the character which the Senator said had been given to the measure by myself, and, alarm ing as these doctrines were, he was rejoiced that they had been frankly avowed. Has iiu established the truth f any one of these as sertions? No, sir, no. He has scarcely even made the attempt; but has endeavored throughout to evade this distinct issue. He knew perfectly well that it was impossible for him to maintain the allegations which he had made. 1 shall not enter into a woman's war cf words with him. It is enough forme to have lived upon him the charge of having, throughout his whole published speech, misre presented niv arguments. This charge will stick to him as closely as the poisoned shirt ol Nessus. He will never he able to relieve himself from it. But the Senator, well knowing that the ground which he occupied iu his published speech would not sustain him for a moment, has attempted to slide olTfiorn it, and has seized, with a desperate grasp, upon a single sentence uttered by nie, lor the purpose ot proving that 1 am the friend of au exclusive metallic currency, liven if he could estab lish this fact, which is impossible, that is no part of the question at issue between us. In order to establish his position, he must not only prove that, iu the abstract, I am a hard money man, but that I contended that the In dependent Treasury bill would convert this into a hard money country. I used the sen tence to which ho refers with no reference whatever to any effect which might be produc ed by the bill. It is contained in that portiou of my remarks which relate exclusively to the fatal cousequences to domestic manufactures which flow from the euormous amount of our paper issues at the peiiod of our greatest bank expansions. To what extent I was willing to proceed iu reducing ''our nominal to the real standard of prices throughout the world," I had over aud over again explained. 1 had rla,.lju.l !....

VVho that will look back to the last few years and trace the mania that raged without reason and outstripped the worsteras.il lolly the mad specula I ions, the visionary schemes, the prodi gal extravagance and the artificial value to which every thing had attained, but will find abundant proof that a powerful and distressing reaction must have followed as an inevitable consequence! The whole scheme and action was a total de parture from the sound calculations of business and prudence and carried the elements of their own overthrow. Eagerness grew as the bubble expanded and victims multiplied as they caught a glimpse of the bubble. When it had" reached its utmost capacity, it burst with devastating effects and not without a serious injury to the coctntry. -ft ba n encompassed the means which enter tnortrsw uu cmt. trolled the action ol prudent operations!, that they felt the shock and shared in a great degree the calamity. This identical state of things tells the whole story o( the causes by which the embarrass, menis under which the country is now laboring were brought about. The following brief nar rative will show the modus operandi. The rapid and uncalled for increase in the amount of hanking capital beyond the actual wants of legitimate business, made it necessary that the rival institutions should use extraordi nary exertions to get their paper into circula lion, and the hicihiy with which discounts could he obtained, held out the most seducing- allure ments lor speculation, which a spirit of cupidity ever more or less active, seized upon with avid ity. The banks pampered the appetite lor en terprise and gain, and the horde of speculators made more and more avaricious the cravings of the banks-. It was a reciprocal action, mutu ally lositred and fattened upon indulgence. It went Irorn the sea board to the interior and thence ro the utmost limits ( the Union; after it bad encompassed the circuit of our own coun try, it entered upon the wing-s of commerce ard .stretched out to all the nations of the earth, and laid them under contribution to iced the mam mon spirit of borne-born folly. The banks themselves saw that their profits were too smnli under a system ol discounts however large, and resoived that they too, wouiu become specula tors and tvokers: accordingly, they entered , the Jist for speculations upon cotton, flour, Pfirk, sfocks and notes? This monstrous innovation threw every thing out ot its natural channel. ;i-id Ihe country was inundated with the flood vi- gcuuemaui), ana -untrue." 1 Have but one word to say iu reply to him; and that is, that hf bank paper and the gambling pursuits ol his remarks, as applied to me, are "flagitious," sionary enterprise. and that he is unworthy of the courtesy which one gentleman owes to another. I ask ihe pardon of every other member of the Senate for using such an expression; but I ennuot ask that of ihe Senator from Massachusetts. From tht Baltimore Post. Who is Responsible for it 3 It has been the leading policy of ihe opposi tion for many years, to seize upon every period of derangement in the business aud finances oi the country, to cteale a panic by perverted stale- iiients and arllul appeals to popular leeling-.

The General has thought a good deal when in situation which allowed of that hazardous amusement; but it is not proper for candidates in training to indulge in thinking, especially in thinking aloud; ior they4 may think wrong and lose votes, us it is not easy to think in a popular manner when people are so apt to think in different ways. , can't think upon two horses at the same time, like a circus rider. There are . too many thinks about just now to make it possible for me to be unanimous, and I therefore prefer remaining sort of anonymous. Thinking Committee. -Exact! so the Banks have suspended specie payments for fear of being used up, and General Harrison suspended thinking for the same reason. W hen he resumes, we'll let you know. But to satisfy you as to his opinions, we wish you distinctly to understand that Genera! Harri son having done uo new thinking of late, thinks just as he did before. Oswego Union Association But there are new questions Thinking Committee. Do "manifest a ttle generous confidence," and think that the General thinks about them just as you would have him think. Why don't you generalize n a harmonious manner, and cry "Go it, and come it, Tyler?" lhis modest recommendation of the Thinking Committee, to shew a little gene rous confidence and to go for Harrison with out asking questions, is pretty well versified in the lollowing chorus to the last hard cider ong, as given in the Madisonian: Chords. We'll go f r Harrison, thrrpfor, "W iihout a why or a wherefore, And him ve will hurrah for, Hi'rrnh, hurrah, hurrah. Gen. Harrison's Military Achievement!, Extract foa the Rimafks of Mr. Crarv, of Ivlichf gun, in tne House ot Kepresertatives, Fr.cay, l "eb. 14 1 04). The gentleman from Indiana, FMr. Proffitl who occupied the floor yesterday, has brought before the House, ihe hero of IVorth liend. not as he is in his old age, with menial in firmities fast thickeuing upon hirn, but as he was when in command of the IVorthwestern army iu the last war. The gentleman has pplauded ihe Presidential coudidate of tho opposition for three great exploits: 1st, the battle of Tippecanoe; 2d, being the first to uggest the armament of the lakes: and, last ly, for the battle of the Thames. I have a few words to say on each of these subjects. Any one who will put himself to the trouble of reading the ofHcial accounts of the battle of Tippecanoe, will see that Gen. Harrison performed no great act of generalship on that occasion. From the General's own Confes sions, the army was encamped in an exposed position, affoidiug "great facility to the ap proach of savages," and at night was com pletely surprised by the Indians, and only es caped destruction by the gallantry of the brave Keutuckians, and a party of the old fourth regiment from Massachusetts. But I would confine myself to the official report, lhat will prove ad that has been asserted. It will also prove that General Han ison was the greatest egotist that ever wrote in the English lan guage. Other generals have awarded some merit to the God of battles, but not so with Gen. Harrison. It was that did all from the morning that "commenced my march," util "i announced that i had co intention of attacking them, (ihe Indians) until dis covered lhat they would not comply with the demands that had made that would so on aud encamp at the Waba." " halted," nd " rose at a quarter after four o'clock." " mounted mv horse, rode to the anele :i;it was attacked, reinforced every part of the liu .forme Jb&Afix irteir'llight, but," ye, but, "being engaged, did not observe it until it was too late.'' Yes, this wou!d be captain of captains, did not observe the flight ot the enemy "until it was too late" to pur sue them. But, Mr. Speaker I must return to the morn ins of the 6th of IM ovember, when this consummate t-enernl was wuniu eleven miles of the scene of his subsequent exploits. A march of six miles is made though open prairies, "with the infantry in two columns of files on either side of the road, and the mounted riflemen aud cavalry in front, iu the rear, and on the flanks," when, coming to open woods, the whole army is lorrned m order of battle. A compauy of mouuted riflemen form ed the advanced guard; then came the United States infantry, flanked by two companies of militia infantry and one of mounted riflemen; then comes tho baggage, covered by three companies of militia infantry; and lastly comes the cavalry. We ought now to expect a fight, for the whole army is "in the order of battle." But we are doomed to disappoint ment. The order is given to "break off in short columns of companies," and to move slowly and cautiously along, the several corps changing position "three times in the dis tance of a mile." At last a creek is approach ed, when the order for battle again passes from column to column. ' Mr. Lincoln here raised a question wheth er it was iu order to discuss matters not be fore the House,
