Another New Bcpublic.--Late advices from Texas give information, that the Federal army, after an un successful. attack on, litonteray, retired to Guerrero ar.d Laredo on the Rio Grande, where they organized a new government called the Republic of Rio Gran de, and inal.Oled a ,General Council. Jesus de Car denas, a lawyer of Tamaudipar, is Fresident, and Gangea chief of the army. The new government is calling, for volunteer aid, and expects to recieve it from Texas and the United :states; it is said that it will be wire liberal with the 'guantuni of bounty land than any other governnient ever was.

The vote was very nearly a party one—nearly all tie whip voting for the amalgamation project, and nearly all the demo crats against it.--Krystone. We may perhaps, be excused the indecency of re faring to the above vote, for the purpose of exposing the gross falsehood of the comment attached thereto. The misrepresentation is as black as the subject war rants, as black as the principles of the men who at tempted it; as hluok as the heartlessness of the loco-fo co party. It is well known that for many years, a class of fanaties, disgracing the name of humanity, have existed in the eastern states, who have advocated the odious policy of amalgamation to its fullest extent. The general intelligence of the dnminant Whig par ty in Massachusetts, has for a long period kept them down, until last year in an evil hour for decency, the combined agency of the fifteen gallon law, and the abolitionists succeeded in electing a more than ordi nary number of representatives of this mongrel school, and elected to the gubenatorial chair Marcus Morton, an open avowed abolitionist. This placed the open ing codily,esin the grand Johnsonian design of inter marrying blacks and whites, and the consequence has been the passage of the above law, through one branch of. the Legislature. But the peculiar atrocity of the above article is, the unbbishing mendacity, with which the accusa tion is made, that nearly all the whigs voted for it, whe:n it is beyond doubt, that the e Morton party" wi re its zealous supporters and successful advocates. It is sickening to observe the attempts of the dying serpent of lociifocoism to e spit its poisons" on all around, to seek to attach`odium me others, for deeds performed under its sanction, and to misrepresent and pervert every action of those who have so long stri ven against their pernicious influence. The Whigs of the Bay State are no amalgarnati mists: they are no e northern men with southern principles;" they are no followers in precept even, of the practice of Richard M. Johnson, Vice President of the United States, or of his party-colored party. The law, le galizing the . marriage of blacks and whites, if it does disgrace the Statute look of that state, will pass under the domination of a Legislature, containing almost a plurality of men, who were elected on anti-temper ance and abolition principles, and who, with the out ward name of o democrats, " are the scum of Hart ford Convention federalists, and the refuse of all those patties, which have brought in moral deformity to aid their outrageous schemes of political duplicity. The friends • of Reform, need not distrust Massa chusetts ; she cannot tie persuaded that the BLAC nESS of Van Buren's character can be compared with the pure while of Harrison, and when the approach ing contest does arrive, she will nobly perform her allotted duty to the cause of Harrison and Tyler. cry We copy the following from the N. Y. Cou rier and Enquirer, for the purpose of showing how democracy ' f values the Germans of our country, and how they turn with derision upon all those who will not follow in the track, prescribed by their patty leaders.: Mr. Leask, who the loco focos ere endeav- wring to ridicule, because he speaks broken English, committed the unpardonable offence of opposing the Sub-Treasury scheme, and coming out in favor of a National Bank : , ‘Mr. Lasak and the German Demoerais.--We sta ted the other day. on the authority of the Pennsyl vania German,a journal just established in Philadel phia by Francis J.

It is evident, if we compare the means and fa cilities of tle Lehigh and Schuylkill regions, that c l the Lehigh Company must lose 50 cents on every ton of coal hey ship to New York, and this deficit , is mode up by new loans, out of which dividends are made t decieve the unwary and cntrop those who wish t make investments. The Delaware and Hudson Cral Company have in all, shipped about 800,000 tons of card, and from their own reports they have sunkmore than one dollar on every ton. At .the time o the stoppage of the Schuylkill Bank, the Beaver M dow Co. was indebted mit $ 77,000, and the impro ments, requisite to carry on business this season, wi , cost from 30 to $ 40,000, while they can- I not at any event mine more than 30 to 50,000 tons of coal, a d it is generally believed that their entire capital sto k is already eaten up. No mor i lamentable example of mismanagement of Coal tmpanies can be found, than the North Co. For many 'ears, experienced miners rsa men have had the agency of its affairs, 3 were located with every advantage; their Joel was unequalled in richness, ' and yet sunk the entire capital of $ 250,000, and miely doubtful whether their property will lore than enough to cover their indebted- American and busm • I then land hotly of they baa l it is es& sell for t IMO are indisputable facts, which show that apanies cannot do a solvent business : the ire of the mining business requires the do ;don of individuals, unremitting industry, field skill ; these are lost when a Board of i set down before their round green table, on chairs, with drawings before them, and .e to mine Coal on paper.

Philadelphia, !Muth, 11340. *The Schuylkill' Navigation Company, in their last Annual Report, show,that the current expenses during 1839 for repairs, lock-tenders' wages,salaries, &c. were $133,893 46,3 for their whole Inn of 108 wiles, or $1,239 . 74 per wile. The State Canal commissioners, in their last re; port, show, that the cost for repairs, &c. during 1839, ow the. Delaware divisionl:of the State. Canal, which connects with the Lehigy . iompany'S Canal at Eas ton, and , thence 59i miles to Bristol, was $ 60,612- 71, or equal to $ 1,516 p per mile. As the Leliigh Company's published Report does not furnish the expenses fur repairs, luck-tender's wages, salaries, &c. &c. On their canal, I have.adOpt ed the lesser cost, which is that of the Schuylkill Navigation Company, viz:. $ 1,239 74 per mile; which, as stated in the ahove article, amounts to $89,- 261 28, being $ 351 43 . less for their 72 miles of canal, than the State Canal, connecting th, rewith, cost for iepaira, &c. for 591 wiles, during the same year. tWith the single oxceition of the Schuylkill Nay; igatinn, there is not one canal in. Pennsylvania or connecting therewith, that has paid, for several years past, two per cent, on its cost of construction, beyond the current expenses: nor have the the State Im. procements up to this time, paid a single Dollar be yond the cost for repairs, salaries of officers, and lock tender's wages. The State has at present 608.1 mites of canals and 118 miles of rail roads, in all 726} miles in opera. lion, and the receipts for tolls during 1839, were $862,559 41. The tolls on 118 wilea of State Rail Roads during 1839 were $ 319,662 88 or $ 2,709 14 per mile. The tolls on •608* wiles of State Canals truring 1839, were $542.886 53, or $892 54 per mile. The tolls on the Schuylkill Navigation CoMpany's Crinal of 108 miles in length, during 1839, were $ 504,904 12 thus showing that they received with in $ 37,982 41 as much for the - use of their Canal as the State of Pennsylvania recieved for the use of all her Canals. The enormous Trade on the Schuylkill Naviga tion-is, however, about to be transferred to a Rival Undertaking which will, be completed and in opera. tion within the next 12 months.
