these pretensions, they resort to finesse, du
p lit
- ity and. even force, and in every in
st ce where three distinct classes of Boni
et are formed, a combination of two will'
be sure . to effect the interest of the other.
T is was einehatically the case in our par
ty idistinctiens at the clog of the revolu
tion. l'be Tories, the violent Whigs, and
the moderate Whigs, formed their compo
nent parts. From 1784, to 'B7 these con
dated, until by a union of the first andthird,
tke second was placed in a minority,and as-
I
su eel to themselves the name of demo
crt t„ w‘hich party never regained a per
in neat ascendency till the election of
Tliomas Jeferaon in 1800.
We have mentioned these facts' solely
foil the sake of example, and will now pro-
cetd to a statement of parties at present,
nn, confining them to the mere political
fin- s of demarkation, but to those' of a
• •re social kind. • Since the existence of

t insidious and deceitful promises

th the operative portion of community.—
ith a view to this end, the general gov
ernment press, and the state _press, which
advocates its supporters>are unceasing in
their denunciations of the employers, and
endeavor to shift -upon them the odium re.
silting from the failure of their policalex
p • rimejits. We have heretofore at length
s own the sophistry of their arguments,
b t-will now lay before our readers that an-
c _
c ent fable, which has been the admiration
o acres, and which has always been consid.
eed model of didactic excellence. The
facts which led to its delivery are some.
What parallel to ' present _ times :—The
commons ot Rome, pressed by the exac
tions of the patrician - rulers—and over.
*helmed with debt, seceded from the city,
left their trades and employments, and re.
tired to the Sacred Mount, determining
ta hold no intercourse with it, until their
requests should be acceded to. - The ar•
ringance of tSe Senate and Consuls, and
the depression of business during the ten
4, twelve years succeeding the expulsion of
i Tarquin ius, had produced these open hot%
Wiles. • Arts and persuations were equally
useless until Menius Agrippa, himself orig.
tially of their order, procured access to
them and related the following, which
o
pened,the way to negotiation, and conse.
quent reconciliation. Let every laboring
Man before he allows himselt to believe
that the interest of the employer and the
`employed are not identified,-.read, mark,
I learn, and inwardly digest the FABLE OF
•ITIE BODY AND ITS NI =MIS
"At a time when the menibersof the hu
linen body did not, as at present, all unite
in one plan, but each had its own scheme
land *nage, The other"parts were annoy.
red at seeing that the fruits or all their labOr,
toil, and industry were serviceable 4nly to
Ithe purposes of the stomach, and 11110 they
;did nothing but work for its gratAcation.
Upon this they resolved together,' tlAt the
hand should not carry food to the mouth,
nor the mouth receive it, nor the teeth
chew it, until by hunger they had reduced
the stomach to an equality with them—
the consequence was the whole body was
reduced to the last stake of decay. They
found that the office of the stomach was
not one of indolence, or ease—that it
only received the nourishment which they
gave, to return it_again r to themselves, by
supplying every part of the body with that
vital nutriment, on which depended their
life and vigor."
The moral is easily drawn, and is as ap
plicable now, after a lapse of twenty four
centuries, as it was to the discontented
Rotating.

take place between 3 and 6 o'clock on the

continue about 67 minutes—the sun will
be partially blotted from the sky, and a
ring of surpassing beauty takes its place.

take place till 1869. 'This will commence

which is to, deeidethe fate and pros

ensuing season. Many of yok have
not yet decided for whom to vete—
either .front carelessness, want of
promptness, or . the fear of ;being
wrong. Look -with us therefore at
the results which will be attendant
en the two issues. In the first I plane

cate of Mr. Van Buren and h 4 mea

Ito take the control of public Money
!from the custody of the • people,
and give it to office holders—this
will be revived and insisted on.—
The consequence of this win be, a
continuation of those rash experi
ments which have brought our bu
siness' almost to n stand, at' 'least
have rendered it discourageing and
ruinous. No facilities for carry-
ing on our operations can be obtain- -
ed, and the inevitable result' must
be, our operators will be left with
out capital to continue basiness the
ensuing winter; money cannot be
obtained, and the miner, the me
chanic, and the labourer, must be
thrown out of emptCy. This is as
sure as to morrow's sunrise—Bat on
the other hand if JOSEPH RIT
NER, is re-elected, public confi
dence will be revived—the
facili
ties on which the colliers must rely
to carry on their winter operations,
will be obtained, and a cheek will
be given to experiments and sub
treasury schemes.
Pause then fellow citizens, before
you vote, for it is •f vital impor-•

that if you produce a wrong 'result,
you are injuring yourselves.—Those
who claim to be your friends,_ and
wish
,you to vote for Porter, will
desert you. when their wishes are
accomplished—when ruin is brought
on your families, and they are fat

will not pia bread in to the mouths

FROM OUR DELEGATES TO THE PITTS
EURO CONVENTION.
cttr ! The r g -election of Joseph Ritnerren
dered certain. .1;:()
, .
Oa Wednesday evening last we had the
pleatiore of hearing from those,of our del
egates
who have returned, the triumphant
result of our Convention The thousands
of Whigs who assemble to join in the
support of Joseph Ritner, and their spirit
ed)
proceedings stroc dismay and terror
into the Porter rank nd file; the of fi ce
holders looked bilious, and the expectants
agueish. Never in or country have
Four thousand of o fellow citizens met
together, as delegates before—never were
such perfect harmony, unanimity and con-
I cord *xhibited. From the estimates made,
the election of Joseph Ritner is certain.
He cannot have less than 8000 majority,
and will probably have double that num
ber? An address to the people of the
State 'was reported, which will be laid be
fore our readers as soon as received. The
delegation saw the original transfer of Da
vid R. Porter's, property, in his own hand
writing, and dated only three&four days
before he applied 'for the Benefit of the
Insolvent laws. Samuel Sturgeon was on
the ground—add delivered a plain unvar
nished tale in such a manner as to carry
conviction to all. The documents were
acknowledged by all of both parties to be
genuine—and looked upon as the evidence
of his infamy under. his own hand—his
I confusion.
Milner Township Meetings.
The friends of Ritner will hold a town
ship meeting this afternoon, at. Friedens
burg- Democrats turn out.
A meeting will also be held at the house
of Jacob Rapp, in Union Township, on
Saturday next.
Germans Attend.
In Pittsburg, we Icarn that ell the Nat
•oralized Germans are in favor of Joseph
Riefler. Germans of Schuylkill, will you,
suffer them to be more true to the interests
of their country than you are. We think
not—rally then around the banner of the
German Fa?mer Governor, and teach the
rulersof your nation, that"Duteh Hogs" as
the Porter met% call you, cannot go. the
whole hog any longer for Van Buren Sub
treasury or Shin-plasters.

~.--Wer - have
. pienidied to substantiate by
-fitureteite assertions Wintry:lip the" Coal
Trade, and show by ealcidation .that our
wishes ate tit - the "general good, and not
tocreateoany panic. UP -to the present
time last year q7;000 tons had been ship
ped from the.,-fo ur principaßregions, the
Schuylkill, Lehi gh, -Speiser .filetcdow, and
Lackawanna, and now . but 4150,000 tons ;
have been sent to motet, making sp far a
deficit of 124,1100. From 150 to 175,000
tons were on hand at the commencement
of the season, a major part of "islich was
theOrtrbite Agh, generally -used for manu
facturing purposes,,the demand for which
had been superceded by die effects of the
government experiments. The-consump
tion last year, as near as can be ascertain
ed, was from 725 to 750,000; there h4ving
been upwards of 8.50,090 tons sent-to mar
ket, and there remained over at Kingston{
Jersey City, and other places, about 50,-
000 tons white ash Coal, making the whole
yearly supply 900,000 tons. Of this' quan
tity, John White, Esq. who Visited the dif
ferent markets early this Sprie.g, estimated
about 400,000 remaining on band' the Ist
of April. It is a well known fact that more
Coal was sold in the month of April for im
mediate consumption than during any of
the winter months, aril as there was very
little shipped to market during that•rnonth,
we are inclined to estimate the quantity on
hand at from 150 to 175,000 tuna out of
the 900,000 in market.
At the time we penned,oor article alludel
to by the Ledger, there was nearly an entire;
cessation of the coal business owing to the
want of purchasers. If this state of things
bad continued any length of titne,.there
must certainly have been a Ann supply—
and as it is, every/ exertion cannot prevent
the quantity_sent down this season from
falling short of the last from 150 to 175,-
000 tons. We believe the market will be
barely supplied, if the demand continues
brisk for the. remainder of the navigable
season, and there-should be an immediate
supplY of water in the canal, which is at
present almost useless from the continued
drought, and consequently the shipments
from this region have nearly been sus
perided;
The Collier deprecates high prices for I
Coal; all he asks is a fair living profit,'
Which prevents auctuation.in prices, from
which they can derive no possible benefit, '
but an absolute injury, as creating a want
of confidence. This year, however, sw
ing to peculiar causes, they have not re
ceived even this living profit; a large pen
non of the Coal has been sold at less than
cost, and eve think we are safe in saying
that at least one-half that has been sent to
market, has not more than paid cixpenses.
At all eve is it is evident that Witte price
of coal ishigh in our cities, the first holders
here derive no advantage from the! advance,
all the benefit must accrue .to the dealers
and retailers where such advance has ta
ken place.
Last year we were accused of tryil to
depress.the price of Coal—this year ore.
flung a panic to enhance its value. We
are equally guiltless of both charges. , We
wish to see a fair value teceived fur our
staple,*arid the lower it can be aNirded the
better for the interests of the region, as
well as the consumers. Our cq of scar
city was not without Toumlstioo—human
efforts can barely prevent it, and it is our
wish to have a full supply to prevent the
increase of price which a deficit must oc
casion. Last winter was comparatively
mild; much less Coal was used tan antici
pated—hardly any for manufact ring put.-
1 3
poses, and for domestic uses th ruinous
state of the times compelled the most rigid
economy; at all events, had business con
tined uninterrupted, there would not have
been too much Coal. When there is a
short supply, no matter from what cause,
the collier is Idamed first, and the cry is
immediately to take off the duty on foreign
coal. It is - therefore our duty; when we
think the supply will be short, to warn
them of the fact; if there is an Overstock,'
the coal region receives no benefit from it;
the consumer has all the advantage of a
glutted market. 1
Review the subject calmly—look at the
relative situation and interest orthe collier
and the consumer, and it must Oe evident
we can have no motive for misrepresenta.
. lion. Certain. it is we have no wish to
mislead : we chronicle our exports fairly,
and strive to give all general i formation

' pendent of the Ledger is ignore tof the na

is impassible: there' s a wide d fference in

the worth of Coal even from the same vein,
ea they run unequal, and the
. q u ality Of the,
different veins varies as much as the dill
