Ado, [COMMUNICATION.) ' Plicenizroiik, July 2 la. 1840 Mr. EDITOII-I perceive a communication in your Journal of Saturday last, by F., some of whose statements are not strictly correct, The iron: re ferred to which was made into nails at this place, was not exclusively derived from cold short ores, but was made from a mixture of equal parts, of Yellow Spring ore, which is cold short; and' the Warwick, a magnetic ore which is not so. ' From experiments made here it appears that bet ter Bar Iron is produced from a mixture of these ores than from either of them worked separately. The Furnace continues to do very well, and is Tak ing iron of good quality. The iron hitherto trade here has .hcen smelted from the ore with Anthracite, (Schuylkill) end puddled with Bituminous coal, no charcoal being used. The Furniices erecting for puddling with Anthracite coal will be ready in a few week*, - the whole _process from the ore to the nail will then be carried an with Anthracite !coal exclusively as fuel. This arrangement will no iloubt be attended with an improvement both in yield and quality. Your Obeid. Servant, . .W. FIRMSTONE. • Patriotic -Worsen.—The Alton (Ill.)

It was a mighty gathering of the people, determined never to submit to the newfan gled measurers of an experiaienting administration, having for their object the prostration of the Industry of the country, and . the reduction of the workingmen to a level with the degraded serfs and slaves under the twenty-two despotic governments of Europe, which. Martin Van Buren recommends as models worthy of 'our imitation, so long as the right of assembling together freely to express our opinions, and exercising the right of suffrage is vouchsafed to us by the Constitution of our country—it exhibited a spirit of enthusiasm: in favor of the Hero of Tip. pecanoe, the man of 'the People, whom they have selected to rescue the government from a band of desperate demagogues and plunderers, - which all the hired minions of power cannot check or suppress. Well may we exclaim, the hills and valleys of Schuylkill county are on fire !" Port Carbon deserves to be especially noticed— she has covered herself with imperishable glory for her devotion to the sacred cause of LLB ERT Y, and the welfare and prosperity of the country. The procession from this place formed a line of four horse teams, and other vehicles, filled with Minors, Laborers, &c., &c., at least a quarter of a mile in extent, with the Port Carbon Band in front. They carried a large banner on which was inscribed in large 'letters, the significant words, THE' PEOPLE ARE CONING!" The procession was imposing indeed, and the orderly manner in which they proceeded to and from the meeting. Teflected great credit on the Mer olla', Mr. Adam Ilerrzog, who, but a few months ego, was a supporter of the present administration. There were a large number of banners carried to the meeting, some of which we shall attempt to describe. A large body of minemcarried one on which was painted a pick and shovel, the miners' coat of arms; shove the appropriate words .6 Our Country is in fault." Below it— " We'll work through it." Another banner, carried by a number of working meg, represented a huge Paw," with the words The Working Men are coming ! • No Reduction of Wages! There were various other banners; some with the °flowing inscriptions: Harrison, The Poor Man'e Friend! Harrison, And a Protective Tariff! Harrison, Democracy, and no State Tax. Distribution of the Sales of the Public Lands, And no Direct Tax. Ilarrison, and no Eusopean Sub-Treasury. Harrison, and no Standing Army of 200,000 men. The meeting was organized in the Court house, by calling HENRY K. STRUNG, Esq., of Pine grove, to the chair, (who presided at the Porter County Convention, which assembled at Schuylkill Haven it 1838,) but finding that not one-half of the immense assemblage could crowd into the spacious building, they adjourned to the open street, at the side of the Court house, where they were addressed' iu the Getman and Engiish language by F. W. Ganan, Esq., of Philadelphia, who was present by invitation, and our worthy fellow-townsman, Mr. ..tohn M. Crosland, a working-man, and who was a supporter of Gen. Jackson throughout his whole term of eight years. The address of Mr. Grund was a finished production,—and in the course of his remarks, he showed up" the grand locofoco President in his true colors. His remarks on the subject of the credit system, were clear, lucid, and convincing, and his comparisons boldly drawn, and always to the point. He spoke of the credit system as the great distinguishing feature in our government, from those of the monarchies, of Europe., and attributed all the rapid strides this country has made in the arts, commerce, and manufactures, to this purely American system. 'lt '►a the poor man's capital, which enables him to compete in business with his more wealthy neighbor, and it is the great lever which has elevated the workingmen, both morally and politically, to a stand which enables them to govern their own affairs, and enjoy and partake of the beneSta conferred by ow republican institutions. Mr. G. also dwelt upon the Bub Treasury and Standing Army Bills, and explained - the effects these measures were likely to produce on the prosperity and Industry ofthe country, but our limits will not permit us to notice them .any further at present. His German address me did not understand, but are' assured it was a capital affair, and calculated to open the eyes of some of the honest Germans in this comity, who have been fed so long with the foul food of locofocoism, by a few designing demagogues of the county; that it is beginning to nauseate. If we were, to jpdge from the countenances of :our German -friends, they cer tainly exhibited evident delight, and the speaker was 'frequently interrupted with fond'pirsbief enthusias tic appliince: -The remarks of our friend, Wr„•Croeland, tend. doing it Was one of his first attenipts at political speaking; were happy : and to the point. •, They, were alto received with great applause.: : .• . - Messrs. • Grund and Crosland aleo addressed a lap-meeting of citizens of Potisville v in front of the Penesytvietialell, in..the evening. • ' A n d, i n oann inston i .in themeate of ihe friends of BlitilqUt is 'Schuylkill county, we tittum 'to the •shave- named gentkanea, -our decent Ahab „, for MMEM T - - !it wyinirsinAusounNAL • ,liehitintl*n.iitithligiiiitortd oleo tothethree Bande, ',ki l ** 6ll, **di— il - " lunteeli118: , 411-4 e 1 Telonleaut." .

Esq. after which the Committee reported 1110°11f:using resolutions which were adopted unani mously WHEREAS, the period is spproaching when we shall be again called upon to exercise the inestima. ble,right of suffrage—a right secured to us by the Constitution of our beloved country, for the preser vation of her liberty, and the promotion of her hap. *ego and prosperity—and whereas we recognize the, great principle upon which all republican gov. ernmente must stand—that the people are the only legitimate fountain of all sovereign power and au. thority,—and whereas the present Federal Admin. Wieder' at Washington have disregarded the will and abused the puwer of the people to the destrue tion,of their best - interests, and the subversion of thi true principles of republicanism, calling them. selires Democrat', whits in, truth and in fact they haire beep and still are the worst enemies of true Democracy, who for the sake of carrying out the riasmicst, sYSTEM or Brous have brought our coon. try int" a state of universal distress and suffering, and whereas a casuals or MEN AND xxiismutir has be. come indispensably necessary to the safety and pros perity of the people; and whereas we as true Repub lican Democrats, adopting the sound democratic principle that " the greatest happiness of the great. est number " should be the arm of public men and measures, and opposed to the maxim of the office holders—the greatest happiness ()Jibe fewest number, are bound at this alarming crisis tearlessly and hon. witty to proclaim our unbiased sentiments, There. fore, Resolved, That we pledge ourselves to vote for WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON, of Ohio for President, and JOHN TYLER, of Virginia. for Vice President of the United States, at the ensuing Presidential election.' Resolved, That the wicked and attrocious calnm. nies uttered against the Hero of Tippecanoe, by the hired partizan presses of Van Buren only serve to 6r him more firmly in our affections, and to elevate him in our respect and admiration. Resolved, That we believe that gratitude for his many valuable and signal eerviccsa rendered to his cotintry in the field of battle, and the councils of the nation—his exalted character for purity of principle and rectitude of life—his sound democratic princi, pies and his disinterested patriotism—will carry him in triumph to the first office in The gift of his coup. trymet Resolved, That we cannot support Martin Van Buren, because his whole public career have proved him to be the enemy of the best interests of the pea ple—and the friend of every measure which discour ages the enterprise and crushes the Industry of the People. Resolved, That we disapprove of the Sub.Treasu. ry Scheme of the office-holdersmow carried into op. erationl , because in the languageof the Globe, a the preposition is disorganizing and revolutionary, sub versive of the fundamental principles of our Govern. mein, and its entire practice from 1789 down to this day. It is palpable as the sun, that the effect of the scheme would be to bring the public Treasury much nearer the Banal custody and control of the Presi. dein than it is now, nod expose it to be plundered by an he.ndred hands where one cannot now reach it." 'Resolved, That as protective Industry is the moat fruitful source of National Wealth, and one of the Main pillows of National Independence; we are in „ raver or a raerscrtvg TARLIT. ,Resolved, That we are opposed to the new pro ject of a Standing Army of Two Mundred Thousand Men, because such a force in the midst of peace is an the highest degree dangerous to public Liberty, and useful only to the Administration. !Resolved, That we are in flavor 'of a distribution of the proceeds of the Public Lands; as a measure of even-handed justice to the States. ;Resolved, That while we believe that a necessity of, State`Texcitierr now exists, we know at the same time that this necessity has been brought about by the misconduct arid rapacity of the office holders, calling themselves the friends of the People ,Resolved, That wafture reason to believe that the present Federal .General Administration have it in contemplation to Impose a direct Tax on the people, should Martin Van Bureniarre=elected to the Pres. idency. Resolved, That the Delegate System of nomina tion, as now practised, has in our opinion become cifiroot and subservient to the views of designing ,demagogue., therefore we are in favor of the noid. nations for office being made directly by the People _themselves in County ~C onvention assembled. i.Resalced, Viet the conduct of the members of the last session of the'Legislature of this Common. Wealth, in charging pay and mileage during the re. cess, is derogatory to themselves and unjust to the -people—because,the power dues not confer the right to put their hands into the People's pockets and take Pay for services pot.

Soon sorrow may some of ye bow,-- Of some the worse fate may be, Through long-years, silent stnfe to wage With cares, and with ills, and withnge. fr Where now is the feeling, so light--so gay, That ;gladdened my heart erewhile I Swept like the sunbeams of winter . ' sway, And tears take the plate of a smile ; Less bright are the dowels, less vivid the green— The mourners have cast a cloud o'er the scene I Oh that each moment, bright or chill, To some must Death's herald be, His dark pennon is floating stilly-- No spot from its shade is free; He owns no season—he knows no stay— Fair beauty he spares not—nor warrior gray ! FOR TUE MINERS' JOURNAL. TO MY SISTER. Adieu, sweet Emily, adieu; Ah ! them is more of speechless sadness, Of fond regret and sorrow true, Than all the joy of bridal gladness Can balance in a brother's heart, In that sad word adieu, adieu! • Lovers may meet in joy, and-part In tears : yet hope will soon renew The heart that's wounded but not crushed,—. Bright joy soon laughs us out of woe ; In pleasure's lap love's sobs are hushed, Nor lacks the world for belle or beau. Some solace still, perchance, we find For mistress lost or wife inhumed ; But what can light the darkened mind A sister's love bath once illumed 1 A sister's love !—so pure, so sweet, So calm, so passionless and mild ; Such joys as angels when they meet, It , spreads, and lays each passion wild. Dear Emily, I know his worth, And happy hours, I augur, must The future hold in store for both, Nor fear with him thy lot to trust. A happy, quiet home, I know, Awaits thee near OW humble cot, Beneath whose roof, mossy and low, Fate cast our happy infant lot. And fairer land, or lovelier scene, Or braver hearts, or,brighter forms, Were never clothed in beauty's sheen, Or thundered midst the battle storms;— Or smiled beneath the glorious sun From tropic line to either polo, Than that sweet vale, our native one, Through which Connecticut doth But, sister, thou wilt nor forget The warm and generous hearts that heat In Pennsylvania bosom's yet, High, bold, disdaining all deceit. Nor yet the laurel blooming hill, The rustic home thy brother's hands Have won, with rude industrious skill, Out of these wild and barren lands, These mountains, heaving to the ski,. Like sleeping giants, guard in vain The-treasures that beneath them lie ; Their memory will long remain With thee whom nature's charms can please, For often have I seen thee gazing Op distant summits crowned with trees, ' Or in the glare of night fires blazing. A ruder beauty dwelleth here These woods and rocky hills among, Than wears.that landsdape soft and clear, The vale our infant shout bath run. There distant Tom and Holyoke vied, And each essayed to raise his head Highest above the rolling tide,";„ Which swept between its narrowing bed. And then the valley spreading wide, With gently sloping summits crowned, ' Gives to our home the stream beside, A scene by softest beauty crowned. How sweet the hope to end our days, On that blest spot our days began ; Like pilgrim, from his wandering ways, To finish. life's allotted span. Methinks I could more sweetly sleep, While pillowed op my native soil, Where rest our friends in slumber deep, And father's fieed from care and toil. Perchance, I yet may lay my head, Beneath the elm its branches spreading, Perchance, I yet may make my bed, That native soil you'll soon be treading. Till then, sister, once more farewell ! A thousand blessings on your bead ! That peacelorover with thee dwell, Thy presence here around thee shed. Pottsville, July 25th. ' J. P. AACRNE. OF TYRANNY.

He said 'the rudest natio of savages never dishonoured the name of man bcondemning a fellow being with out' hearing the,vidence. It has been reserved (he said) for an AMerican Congress, wlio claim to be civilized and intelligent men, to set an example es sentially violati4e of every principle of justice. You demand a decision of his question Mid • refuse the hearing of the pivot*. I deMand the right to hear it. I have not beard or seen it,; I could not. It is now produced for the first time. This is n judicial trial, I am one of the judges; my associate judges require me to decide this question; and refil l s() to allow us to read or hearithe proof. You dishonour me by your conduct. will not submit to goat tyrannical dictation of perjury agaiUst my conscience. He that conceals orl suppresses; the malt undoer oath is 81 guilty of perjury as if ,he morn to a positive falsehood. A 4 the most charitahle conclusion., under the circumstances, is, that the evidence Ls against you. This is despotism with a vengeance. But I will not submit to ith rude and insulting en forcemeat against me. I would suffer death before I would submii. I prefer that whet little is "known of me in the future should be consecrated by mar. tyrdom for the laws and COnstituln of my country, than it should ,be said ea', , I yielded for a moment to the tyranny of a despotism so unreason able and unjust. 1 Mr. Alford was not excused.
