GENTLEMEN :Allow me to thank you most
heartily, for the zeal 'and ability your paper
displays in behalf of the Farmer. and Mechan
ic and Day Laborer. In these latter days. judg
ing by the tone of the Whig. press, and from
the Whig speeches in Congress, it would seem
that the Manufacturing interest is the only in
terest'worthy of the careatnd protection of go
vernment.. Such was not the judgment of the
Republic ; and 1 am rejoiced that you, as a
good Democrat ought to do. are determined to
adhere to the ancient landmarks of the Demo
cratic faith—claiming equal and exact justice
to all men, and denyinl exclusive privileges to
any. We have housed a full crop this season.
for the first in many years. and it is likely that
it will not sell for a living price—but who cares
for the Farmer ?--tehom do you hear crying
out for protthion to him from the government?
As I before said, wi.have, for years, had poor
prices, and oftentimes poor pay : during this
time, we had, to twist and turn—lop off one ex
pense here, and deny ourselves of many com
forts, 'in order to makeboth ends meet. Now.
how was it with the Iron men in our region ?
their business was brisk ; they bought produce
low, very low. got good 'prices. and had the
biggest kind, of protection from the govern
ment. They were realizing fifty, sixty and
seventy per cent; while lye. who toiled through
heat and cold, rain and shine, by using the
greatest economy, could scarcely meet our ob
ligations. Now, is this right ? Is the Manu
facturer better than the Farmer ? In what
does it consist ? It certainly cannot be because
the one toils himself, and, the other procures
men to toil for him. If any distinction is made,
it should be in favor of the laborer.
I happened to be in conversation, a few days
ago. with one of our wealthiest manufacturers,
and was astonished at the bitterness he mani
fested towerde the late action of Coneress.—
Ile could not but admit that the Tariff of 1842
could be reduced without injuriously affecting
iron men; and vet he proclaimed that he could
live, but he would reduce the price of labor.-- .
He said the Democrats had determined to re
duce free labor in the north to the level of slave ,
labor ; and that, so far as lie was concerned. I
they might now realize it. I just thought to
myself that, whatever may be said of slave la
bor. I am sure we have slavery enough already
about our manufacturing concerns. I have seen
something of southern slavery. and I must say
that I have never seen worse slavery in the
south than f have in the north ; and I appeal
hi any candid man, who has observed the fate
of the poor men about our manufactunea, to
sustain the assertion. Their bUsiness. gener
ally. prevents them from - attending church :
they have no recreation: toil, toil, constant
is their lot. Witness our elections !In the The New Haven Register says the tariff of

hope for dollatutito Coale
A gentleman who read in our paper the article
from the Newburvport Herald respecting Nova
Scotia coal, has kindly 'handed us the annexed
memorandum of an experiment which throws
much light on the subject, and peach that the
anthracites of Pennsylvania are not likely to be
so promptly superseded by the bitumens of
Nova Scotia, as some people have imagined.—
The experiment was Made in 1843 by the great
sugar refining company of Boston, for the
ptirprose of directing their own interests. it
was made ,under the superimendence of the
presidynt of the company, and the burning of
each kind of coal was continued for about
week. The following was the result. The
left hand column indicates the quantity of coal,
used, and the right hand column the quantity of
water evaporated—both in pounds.
Lbs. of coal. Lbs. of water evaporated
10,022 Lehigh
17,610 Beaver Meadow
1 8,6(5 Lackawanna ......
21,902 Sydney and Pinion
From which it appears that
-110. Lehigh evaporated 9 52-100 lbs. water
1 lb. Beaver Ateadoti 9,09 do.
1 lb. Lackawanna 8,93 do.
1 lb. Sydney and Pictoo . 4,47 do.
This experiment proves that the anthracites
are worth more than double the same weightof
Nova Soon? coal for generating steam, and there
fore that the difference in price. if any, is no
compensation fur the difference in value. The
great superiority of the anthrarites results not
entirely, if chiefly, from the superior quantity
of heat which they produce ; but in part at leaht,
from the superior facility with n hick the heat
of the anthracites is brought into action. The
vast quantity of smoke and gas which are emitt
ed from bituminous coal curry off with them
a great quantity of heat, and require the fire to
be placed at a greater distance from the boiler.
by which a larger volume of air is is brought
between the fire and the boiler; and as air is
a nomeonductur, this circumstance embarrasses
the heat which remains.
These facts are full of importance. They
account is some measure for the superior speed
of American steamers over those of other na
tons. We are told that this thing has had one
most remarkable test. A steamboat was built
in Canada. after the model of our South AMeri
ca. The builders were disappointed to find.
after all, that she would run but two-thirds as
fast as the South America. Nothing ' would
cure the disparity. until Lackawanna coal was
taken to her help. and this brought up her speed
to the desired point of equality with the patern
boat. if the same change should be effected by
the introduction of the same fuel to Atlantic navi
gation. another new era would astouish the
world.

those who hate Pennsylvania andhier polities I
than that which spread through Egypt at the,
Oath of the first born. - But it never seemed !
to enter the brains of the friends or foes of pro- I
tectioo, that it was utterly impossible that coal.
to any great extent. could be introduced into
the-United States. from foreign nations. A few
facts will settle this, question. • The whole I
amount of foreign tonnage entered, exclusive
of steamboats and vessels on the - lakes, is I
about two millions of tons. The amount of
coal raided in Pennsylvania will this year equal 1
probably two millions and a half tons. If. I
therefore. all the vessels of the United States I
and foreign nations were to set themselves at
work. they could not bring as much coal- into
the country as is mined in one State. The Read-
Mg railroad brings weekly to market nearly i
half as much as is brought irom the British :
North American American colonies in a whole •
year. and more than was last year imported
from England. Ptctou coal, under the new ;

went the importation of it should drive out oth fl

subject the importer to a great loss.
How much would it cost to change all the
coal grates in the city of New York now adap

for burning bituminous ? So moeh certainly
as to forever prevent the use of the latter.—

shake in our shoes to glance over this list, in
which are pictured forth in glowing Woofs,
and prophetic warnings, the terrible- conse,-

want of protection ? During a conversation
