The committee in question had every opportunity '

the " Pittsburg Liarpenter's.Soeiely," fur

referred 'to a conatee, of which Mr.
Lecoen was chairman, and whose report
unfavorable to the object ass adopted by
a unanimous vote of the house of -tepre

logiilature, that - " whateier, mightlend in

There is at this day no greater neces

a cless.of then to 'mine 'cod, than there
was at that day Tto - entible h lodiety of car
penters to plane boards, -or of farmers to'
plow their lands. Canals and rail roads
are now ;completed to a sufficient extent,
;particularly in the first coal field. for pre-
sent perpcses, and every man of sufficient
means to purchase a tract of 'coal land,
may engalein the basineswand prosecute
it with ample success, regardless alike of
tisk-and uncertainty as of caporal° pti
vileges. The business can now be brought
entirely within the control of individuall
means, and individual enterprise. A \large
number of mines are worked by 'tenants,
who send, to. market, yearly, from vivo to
six thousand tons of coal, and employ a
!capital of less than fifteen hundred Oilers.

MR. PACKER'S REPORT:

Attion sitlimiliCter ' "An: Cr:l lk by,
legislative enaceinene - thath.la consistent
'with, - or indispe isible . to the ' , purposes of
ciiriLlgetety.:ll4 republican government;
and niery citizen, differing no greater re-_
intaiiita r thait 'it 'Mai!' be l absdhnely neces
sary for..him to. yield, to these purposes,
should be allowed freely to pursue his own
qrue . anitsubstaptial happiness. Teo much'
iotogrikto..lkAkeliettithen the
entire, wltet 9,f -it. , maxim is :true,
that "the ` Wo rld is 'grained too' much."
The graniPeail, in relation.tii the incor
poration of companies, and agaipit which
the cometittee would 'iciest earnestly pro-.
test, Is in giving them, in addition 'to their
mining,privileges, 'the control oE'a canal
Or rail ineitorit!tpower toloCk up at Wee
sure, the rites of a whole valley or
community ! - To this source may be tra
ced many tir the. evils •complained' If by
the pnblie; and it' Is hoped; - Ss at 'this day
'such inducements :Cannot be conmdered
r necessary to the construction Of public im
proveinentit;they may io future be guard
, ed against by the legislature. • For mining
purposes tdoite, stich powers would at
presentpreeent'teem'to be entirely unnecessary,
unless in the cases already adverted to.
Should they ever, hereafter, under change
of circumstances, be deemed' necessary,
the legislature will then be cOmpetent to'
determine the question. - Until that'exi
gency arrive, 'it would,‘'in - the opinion of
the'conrinittee, be the surest and safest
policy to alloo o the business to remain open
to the free antfuntramelled exercise of in
dividual-enterplise, and indi vidtiat control.
- The' cointnittee, therefore, having ex
tended this report toe greater length, they
fear; than may be acceptable to the Senate,
will not scot) t to comment upon the many
other brats which the case would seem
i tolireserit, nor to analyze, more
'the fadta coiiimbnicsted by the 'coal deal ,
ere of the different districts. They con
clude byexpressing the opinion, that, with
the exception of the measures already re
commended, there is at present no "fur
ther legislative provision necessary to
protect, ilicilitittrand 'encourage the coal
trade. 1 , • --
le proving tht . individuals have outstripped
coal companies, it by no means follows that com
panies and harmless. The truth is,that the very
reason why individuals have so far succeeded in
'this regionl% that they have thus fir prevented
them frosn'obiiiding the ticenhavicy. In. all the
other Anthracite regions individual competition
is driven swag sad eschided. And the same ‘
result must take place here, if the number of coal
companies is to be augmented at every session.
Xnd if thii region "hall'heen in the hands of coal
comperes*, the market at 'this 'day- w ltild *it
have 'sten supplied with foal. The Lehigh
`Company commenced shipping coal in 1820, and
for several yetivi did not retch i00;000 ions in
their shipments, aml last. Jeer only reached r
bout 200,000,tonm.white io this region the 'busi
ness Commenced fire veara subsequently, and last ,
year the inhabitants sent to market 523,000t0ns
of coal. About 90,000 ton" of the quantity were
mined by.companies. In the year 1833,, when
'the report sibOve stated sra6 pr4rated, till the - coal
companies 'iwthe State mined about 290,000 tons`
- tif aiai,and individual operators in the Schuyl-.
•kill Coal region muted abniat2oo,ooo tons. With.
in •tite last filar years, i l ndiVidual hpdrators inl
this region have rapidly gained on companies,
and last-year mined about 450,000 tons, which'
to a grester'quantity than; was mined. by all the
'Coal Con:wadies in the State combined, within
'the mime period. These 4cla go to phowlwhat,
'individuals hive dosse,and caw do, if their enter..l
.prise and industry are .permitted to lasts` free
"scope. The effect of gra - Ming 'eharteredpriiile
ps is , to cramp, and . check their spirit of enter.
, pries and industry; and Minute up, not fair snub/
competitar . l4 but 'enemies who are interested
in prostrating them.
