aEtATon Cameron's arEK ii.
In giving publicity to Senator Cameron's
speech on the occasion of the presentation of
petition in rotation to the tariff interests of
the country, 4ha Philadelphia "North Ame
rican" says, tha following brief preface to a
motion in the Senate, two or three days since
!b one of tho most remarkable and forcible
we have ever seen, in tho proceedings of that
body. It is a full speech in a few words, a
moet admirably condensed nnd scntcntioas
embodiment of tho flood of thoughts which
tho great question it refers to presses upon
us now. It is a speech which tens of thou
sands can and will rend, and tho eminent
speukerwill said, nt its closo, that bo was
speaking to tho petitioners nnd their associ
ates, and speaking for them in so doing.
This brief, pithy, and conclusive enforcement
of the duty of tho unfortunate workers in coal
and iron to consider the question of political
direction nt tho polls, nud not In vain pelt
tions, will havo more weight with those to
whom it is especially addressed, than nny
former argument from the House or Sennto
Mr. Cameron ha9 closed a discreet and ef
fective course, during one session of the Sen.
ate, by giving at tho critical moment, the
most forcible argument on the torifl thuthas
yet been uttered, and this directly to the peo'
pie, whoso responsibility ot the polls he
makes them to feel is direct. It is couched
in the right measure of words, nlao. No one
of tho unemployed workers in coul andiron
can sny that he has not time to read it, nor
can nny ouo of these employed or uncmploy
ed, rend it without fueling its rebuke, and be
ing incited to the duty we have urged so fruit
lessly when work was plenty and all went
well. Wo ore glad to place on record a
speech, which, like this gives pioniso of so
much beyond. It is an index to a volume,
and it serves to dimiuish the last of the
doubts tho most incredulous may indulge os
to the effective representation of Peunsylvo.
nia by Senator Cammon.
We thank Senator Cahkrok for the hrevi
ity as well as the force of his argument, and
wo trust the tens of thousands heretofore mis.
cuided on this erreat question, moy arm him
with the eflective weoprnof an overwhelming
vole in October next, for tho struggles of tho
next session and the next Congress:
I am requested to present n petition, sign
ed by a large number of laboring men enpati
ged iu tno mnnnlacluro ot iron in rennsylva
nia. 1 receive a great many letters daily
from persons of this class, and I will soy here,
wbat will save rue mo trouble ol wining a
gn at manv letters. They think the Congress
of tho United States can relieve them from
all their troubles. There never has been a
time in tho history cf the iron business of
Pennsylvania, when there was so much leul
distress among the laboring n en of my State
the men who do the work, the men who go
to the forgo before daylight, und return thoro
long after the moon has risen thau there
is at present. It is not a complaint now on
the part of tho capitalists. Men of capital,
men of fortune, can take care of themselves.
Capital can always tnko caro of itstlf ; labor,
poverty, Indigence and want, always ueed
sympathy and protection.
" These persons reside in the town of Nor
ristown, on the Schuylkill river, some twenty
miles above Philadelphia. The river Schuyl
kill is traversed, on both sides, by a ruilroad,
ono extending some twenty or thirty miles,
another one hundred miles. On tho one side
of the river is a canal. All these works
have been made for the purpose cf conveying
con! and iron to tho place of manfacture and
sale. Tho county of Schuylkill, the great
coal doposit of Pennsylvania, has a popula
tion of somo 80,000 or 90,000 people, all of
which has grown up within the last twenty
five years.
At this time the whole laboring population
engaged in tho iron and coal business, or the
whole country extending from Philadelphia
to the mountains of Schuylkill county, are en
tirely idle; thu boats are tied up ; the loco
motives bio, in a great measure, standing still,
and tho laborers tire running about hunting
employment and hunting food.
1 heso are the persons who complain j they
tlnnu that Congress can relieve them. 1
havo told them, und 1 have written to them,
that they have the power in their own hands.
The laboring men of this country ere row-
erful fur good always. They do coutrol when
they think proprr, and 1 think tbe time is
coming when they will control the politics of
this country. 1 tell them that be I ore they
can got common protection they must change
the mnjority in the senate they must change
the majority or the olber bouse ol Uongress ;
and, above nil, they must ehunge tho rccu
pant of the White Home, who is tho dispen
eer of the power which controls tho legisla
tion of this country. In placo of gentlemen
who sneer when wo tali about protection
they must send men here who know something
of the wants, something of tbe interests,
something of the usefulness of tbo laboring
men.
Hitherto they havo not acted as if they car
ed for their own intores s : while thny talked
ubout a tariff which would guard their labor
from competition with tho pauper labor of
Furope, they would go to tho elections under
some ward leader and vote for men to repre
sent them here and elsewhere, who cared on
ly for party drill, and who had no interest
above party succes. Ibis system they
must change if they hope for success. 1
think tho laboring men of Pennsylvania at
least, are now beginning to put their own
shoulders to the wheel, und 1 believe they
will make such a noiso in ti e next October
contest, as will alarm tho gentlemen all over
the country who laugh at them.
Tha canals, railroads und mining operations
of this region of country have cost more thau
a hundred millions or dollars. The luruaces
and other works connected Wiith tbe manufac
ture or iron, cost an enormous sum, and tho
people iuterested in the iron and coal busi
ness, directly or indirectly, along the valley
or the Schuylkill amount to more than three
hundred thousand souls. Siuce 1855, there
has been a blight upon the business, growing
out cf the unwise legislation of Congress,
which has really protected tho iron of hog
land, Russia and Sweden, and thus taking
tho labor nud bread from our own workmen.
This iron interest of Pennsylvania, in which
these men are employed commenced in 1820,
with a production of only 20,000 tons. In
1655, when it was up to its greatest extent,
the production was a million of tons of pig
metal. When this pig metal is worked into
the various uses in which iron is to be con
sumed, it amounts to very many millions of
dollars. The aouual produce of coal iu
Schuylkill county alone iu 11-05, amounted in
value to some $20,000.0110. Wbeu it is known
that it requires two tons of coal to make a
ton of iron, yon can imagine the number of
persons who rely for their daily bread on tbe
productions of iron und coal. Iron in its na
tive mountains, is worth but 50 ceuts a ton ;
wheu it is worked into pig metal ft rangea in
price from 620 to $30, and sometimes to 40
a ton ; aud then worked into various uses it
frequently amounts to many hundreds of dol
lars a ton.
I bure said that these people bava the pow
er in their own bands. I am speaking to
them now, and 1 wish tbem to exercise the
power they bare. 1 cannot help tbem, mnch
as I desire to do so, nor can any of their
friends bere ; but when they go to work as
men determined to succeed should do, I bare
ng doubt tbe; will get protection. Ihe peo.
pie in this valley and on the slope of the
Schuylkill mountains have votes eoongh to
change and control the politics of the Union;
for as Pennsylvania goes, so goes the Union
in nil great elections and their volet can at
all times decide the politics oi l'cnnsyivania.
Let them exorcise tho power wisely, and tboy
will no longer be without plenty of work and
good price.

O" Tho editor of the Williamsburg (Va.)
"Weekly Uazette," recently made a trip
through this section of the country on a north
ward tour. In the description of his travels
we find the following well merited compliment
paid to Geo. Merrick Esq., General Snper
inteudanl of tho Sunbury and Erie Uaiiroad :
Tho coptain introduced us to George
Merrick Esq, the General Supertendent of
the Sunbury & Erin Boad, who happened to
bn on board with whom we engaged in a very
agreeable and cutertaining conversation
The nniversol confidence reposed in Mr. Mer
rick, as a rail-road officer is not misplaced,
and his extraordinary intelligence nnd acumen
necessarily command tho unqualified respect
of nil.
The Sunbury and Erie R. R. Cp of which
Mr. Merrick, as we havo just stated, is a
prominent member ; recently purchasod of
the State cf Pennsylvania her canals. Thus
Pennsylvania, for tbo hrst time in thirty
years, is no lnugor the owner of one mile of
canol or roilroad. 1 his may appear strango
but is nevertheless true. And the adoption
of tho Into constitutional amendments secures
against such things in the future; because
the system, it is generally believed' nas been
promotive ol vast evils and corruptions.
Between 182 and 1840, 1 ennsylvama made
a debt of 510,000,000, about $30,000,000 or
which was contracted in the construction and
management of her canals and railroads,
and nearly 810,000,000 in payment of interest
beloro the State taxation was adequate to
pay tho annually accruing interest. After
selling her public lines of travel, the State is
still lelt in debt to the amount ot 23.000-
000, a Bnug little sum to be raid by tbe
tithes or the people.
