(COXSIFNICATISD.I Mr. Editor,—l hive noticed an article in a late number of the London Mining Journal. the writer of Which seems to be much disappointed and cha grined that Messrs. Biddle and Farquhar omitted, in their speeches at the Pottsville celebration of Janu ary 18th, 1840, what he considered a proper tribute to the merits of Mr. Crane, ttie proprietor of , the Yniscydwyn works in Wales, and the first who suc ceeding in making iron with anthracite in that coun try. The writer pays a merited compliment to the speeches of the gentlemen alluded to—and in speak ing of the success of the experiment in Pottsville says :.-.. "The American capitalists, doubtless, are the best representatives of their own merit, especially in 'go. Ing a head' as regards the first application of an thracite to the making of iron. Now, are they, as far as the extracts you have given, less remarkable for defect of memory, when the remembrance of the deeds of others would only make their own appear second best, and thereby lessen in some degree the value of their newly discovered field fox pecuniary investment. For, after a careful perusal of two of the best speeches ever yet delivered in honor of a discovery, no one can fail to be struck with oue fa. tail error, which by some marvellous concurrence, is equally conspicuous throughout both of these bril- liant effusions-1 mean the error of omission, in not having once, from beginning to ending, named the founder of all the mighty 'benefits which are an. ticipated to flow from the euncessful and meritori. oils exertions of our countryman, George Crane, of the Yniscedwyn Iron Works It may be fresh in the recol lection of some of your readers, that a deputation, having in view the ap plication of anthracite to the Making of iron, crossed the Atlantic, not long ago for no other purpose than to visit Mr. Crane's works, and to witness with their own eyes, the result of his experiments; wheth. er the Iron master at Pottsville was one of this dep utation, is not material ; the success of the expert. went in American, being, no doubt, the result of in formation generously and kindly communicated by Mi. Crane. Why, then, was his name omitted by them who took so distinguished a part in commem• orating the importance of such a disaivery ! If, however, American capitalists do 'go a-held,' in looking to anthracite as 0130 of the most profita ble investments, they take care to do so on good grounds: only mark what an 'alchymist Mr. Biddle is—would that our capitalists at home would study alchymy all the rest of their lives. No two substances (says Mr. Biddle) contribute so much to the comfort and civilization of the world as coal and iron ; the chief ingredient of the richest precious stone is carbon ' • and, a ft er all, a diamond and a coal is the same thing ; the comparison dam= ages the coal, since, certainly for every purpose of human comfort and enjoyment. the c6al outweighs all the gems that ever glistened at, all the corona tions of all the sovereigns of the earth." &a. Again —"The anthracite coal fields 'of Pennsylvania are six or eight times as large as those in South Wales; of these great masses, it may be said confidently, that the coal and iron are at least as rich io quality, and as abundant in quantity as those of Great Brit. ian, with this materiel distinction in their favour that they lie above the water levels, and aro easily accessible, while many of the mines of England are 1000 or 1500 feet below the surface." Nor is Mr. Farquhar. the'other advocate, less eloquent upon the subject, observing—" Those who have been fore. must in this benefaction to the country—those who have opened the wide door to domestic industry, increasing ~the means of subsistence - to the working man, and at the same time pointing out to the enter. prising and the capitalist a new avenue to wealth, are knoWn to you all—their names -in the coal re. gion, at least, ought to be as 'familiar as household words'—we owe them and pay them our gratitude." Yet, with all this evidence in proof of the benefit conferred upon America. the founder of at least the key to such a treasure, George Crane; was entirely forgotten." Now, when we recollect that neither Mr. Biddle or Mr. Farquhar are what are technically termed iron men," we cannot think the omissions inten tional, and we are cmfidant that neither these gen tlemen, nor any of the gentlemen engaged in the experiments making etibat time with anthracite for smelting iron, felt disposed to ;take from Mr. Crane the credit of having first succeeded in making iron with anthracite coal, by the application of the hot blast. In many of the American newspapers, (the Mi. NMI? JOURNAL included,) the whole proceedings of the dinner given Mr Crane in Wales, weie copied, and in every instance ample notice' taken of the success of tus expeiiments at the Iniscedwyn works in Wales. But with regard to Mr. Crane being o the founder of all the mighty benefits which were anticipated," we are not so certain, as we ha7e no data to show at what period Mr. Crane ezininenced his experi ments, but know that as early ae 1834, Mr. Thos. 8. Ridgway, W. Geiseheimer, and several other gentle men, were busily engaged in making experiments in this region, and were co far successful as to be convinced of its practicability; and upon the result of these experiments Dr. Geisenheimer took out his patent for smelting iron with anthracite coal These experiments were all made with the cold blast. From experiments lately made in this country, it is proved that anthracite iron: , can be made with cold blast; but, as is the case with coke and charcoal. the yield will not be the same in proportion to the amount of fuse, es it is with the hot bast. The writer seems to dwell much - upon the übw ahead" faculties of the Americans; • this they cannot help. It is as natural for a Yankee tol l go ahe a d es fors fish to swim;. and,go °betel they, will. The Amencans bare 'gone ahead in steam boats, rail roads, locomotives, and new haver gone ahead in making iron with anthracite,—and; they a l ways contrive i n t neehaelcal skill .and ingenuity, to keep .a lee& ithea,d of every other nation. Ipsie instance, in ,1836 Mr. Crime .uacceeded in msking iron in Wsles ,With anthracite ) yet, tO 1840, (a period of more than three ye") we f3Sd,frem tide folEaw. lug extract from the! , London !Main Journal,' Of the Vika' triruchs.lB4o, ilat_lrrt two forrtacei Were irkhlast wig!, a!tth*lW; extleiY,elY,Ate iltougli nearly finr,years had elape4.eincs its din. eoif4. ,The writer says_ . iorhiii value attached toldlr.Crsate's patering out of the abundance of ironstone is the anthracite duerict of South Wales—which: with the Cad. may belveirted ataxy cost—is,evidenced by enlarge a sum as 24.000Lbeing given fot one!tract: with the• object of establishing iron works, while royalties. which were never before contemplated, ale flow.bea log paid, and higher rates demanded.

At the time of our last visit there was a short supply of anthracite,and the consequence was. one Of the larger furnaces using two of anthracite to one of bituminous coal." How is it with the Americans I Two yens has scarcely elapsed since Mr. Patterson first commenced the erection of the Pottsville Furnace, and scarcely 'a year has elapsed since it went Into blast,—and we now :find no less than five anthracite furnaces in successful operation—and the sixth (Mr. Lyman's at Pottsville) will be in blast in a few days. There are also a number erecting, many of which will be in bl!iit this fall. It is not a little singular that no two of the sit furnaces mentioned l'ire of the same construction or capacity. and all the apparatus for heating the blast are different. In the Danville re gion, three furnaces are in blast, and each has a differ ent material for inwalls. Is it, then, to be wonder. ed at, that the Americans bring all their experiments in aisehanics to perfection; here we see the manu facture of iron with anthracite, which a year ego was considered in itself an experiment, affording the basis for three different experiments at the same time: INN First, the experiments upon the materials for in *elle, best calculated to resist the -action of the 6re ; then the construction and capacity of furnaces best adapted to making iron with anthracite,—and last ly, the , best and most economical way of heating the blast. And, if we mistake not one of the Dan villelurnaces was making iron last week successful ly with cold blast. These experiments must be pro ductive of important results. The same writer, speaking of the consumption of coal by the steamers, says : • • "Nor is this all. The effect of 'going ahead' in this way might induce the owners of the Great Western and British Queen to loose no time in sav ing more than 21,0001. per annum, by the substitu tion of anthracite for other coal. For example, the weight of coal for twenty days in the Great nes fern:and British Queen steam ships (see Par. Rep. on Steam vessels, p. 23) is 600 tons for the former, and, 750 for the latter—total 1350 tons; but by Player's method with anthracite. being in the ratio of 100 to 144 (see Rep, by Messrs. Parkes, Maltby, Bevan, and Schafhacutl,) the quantity for both steamers would be only 756 tons—thus gaining in tonnage 594 tons--sav 550 tons—total for both ships, out acd horrid, 1100 tons; and supposing each steamer to make eight voyages out and home in the year. the whole additional payable weight will be 8800 tone, which at an average freight of 255. per ton,,will be equal to 11,0001. per annum, beside a bout 20001. more annually in diminished expense for stokers—eighteen out of twenty four being saved by the same means. An regards consumption of coal since the more general adoption of steamers by sea and land, the Americans have also 'shot a-head' aim-selves; ac cording to the statement in your last Number, the total quantity of teal shipped in 1820 being only ;65-tons, while in 1839 it was 785,563 tons, or con. siderably more than 2000 times as much, which on. ly proves what may be expected in the anthracite districts of both countries, as soon as proper means of application are adopted. At present there is no datum to prove that anthracite is yet more generally used in America than here, or the great steamers would not be navigated uut and home without it." Now, might not this writer carry his coal eaten latious a little further, and show the owners of the steamers alluded to, that, by purchasing their antbra cite.in New York, for their homeward bound pas sage, they would add to their tonnage of freight, coming over, 4,400 tons annually, which, at twenty five shillings per ton, would be a clear gain of £5,500 per annum; making to the owners of the two' steamers an annual saving in favor of anthracite of £16,500 per annum. We have often wondered that anthracite was not used on board of the steam packets; it is much molt economical, and also freer from smoke and dirt than bituminous coal, and it has, we believe, been used with entire success on board of many of our steamboats, and we should suppose it would. be found equally successful in long voyages. F. AT ED.) Ma. Enrron Whilst listening fora moment at the ebullitions of the Locos on Saturday last, my attention was particularly. arrested by the conclud ing portion of Mr. Fraley's long winded speech. After dwelling for a-while on 6. whiggery," as he terms it, he informed his listening auditory that it was a.“ fact that there was not an Abolitionist in the country but who would vote for Hamson." I would notlwillingly underrate either Mr. Fraley's talents or veracity, but certainly in this instance he has leaped the boundary of truth and published to a thinking community what he knows to be a base falsehood. Full well he knows that the Aboli tionists have candidates for the _Presidency and Vice Presidency nominated months ago. If he does not, let __him examine the columns of the Emancipator" published in Phila. or “ Zion's Watchman," published in N.

It is the Alien and Sedition law of modern Federalism ; as odious and tyrannic es ever was its prototype. wpm ! prohibit by arbitrary and severe penalties, 200,000 men from speaking .a contemptu ously or disrespectful " of Martin Van Buren, or of the Vice President, or of Congress, or of any State Governor ! There has been nothing like it since the old Blue Laws of Connecticut, when it was unlawful for a man to kiss his wife on Sunday. No. There has been but one parallel to it in modern times, and that is Kendall and Niles' law to prohibit all persons from carrying a letter, or newspaper, on any mail route, or any road parallel to a mail route in the United States t Verily, this Administration out strips by a sightless 3istance, all the ultra Federal ism of the reign of Terror.—Madisonian. Washington send Harrison.—The Federal papers complain that Gen. Harrison in early life received an appointment from the head of their party- - John Adams, as well as from Jefferson and Mattison. We wonder if these worthies were ever aware that the FAMES OF pis COUNTRY wee TWICE appointed to office by the same John Adams? Let them turn to the Executive Journal of the United States Senate, vol. I, p. 284, and they will find the following on record: "Gentlemen of the ,Senate: " I nominate Grown Virssnmcpros, of Mount• Vernon, to be Uieutenant-General and Commander in•Chief of all the armies raised, or to be raised, in the United States.

Bleu 23,18 GERTLEZEN I have the honor to acknowledge the recoi l your, letter of the 25th February, conveying the ceedina of a meeting of the Whig members ol Ldgis ture, convened in the capital of the Sidi the 22 of that month. I be you to believe, Gentlemen, that lam d impressed with thd honor. which has been cool: upon me by the distinguished body. whom on occasion you represent. The great object of my civil and military life has been to serve my try. to the utmost of my abilities, and to obis' approbation.—The hope of this has often ch I me in cascumstances of great difficulti and e , rasament. You will pardon me,, I trust, if in this letter somewhat beyond the mere purpose of acknowl ing the receipt of your communication, and ov occasion for makkng a few remarks. which cir 4 stances seem to require from me, in respect to a laration of opiniong,or pledges, as to my future duct. required of candidates for high offices. My public life, not now a short one, to befo f the I t country. My-opinidns on impoi tact subjects, aeo been expressed from time to time, as those , soh eels have arisen, and since my name has been mention ed among those from whom a selection might be made fur the Office of President, I have in seVeral letters to friends, folly anlyankly avowed myl sem "tiMents. Fatther thin this 1 cannot'suppose intel ligent persons could, desire me-to go. The people of this country do not rely on profesuons, pro ties and pledges. The know. that if s candids is uoprincipled he wi r I not scruple to give any p edge that may, be required of him and ae little will I,hes. i , tato tci violate it. 1 hive already made ptibti the t ptinciplea by which I should be governed, if e cted President. so far as Mites tai the rpm Executive duties ofthat office. But almost innumerable appli. cations have been made tome, for my opinions telt. tine to matters of legislatiort, or even to the proper mode of conducting hi:mint:l44n the +two Bonsai of Congress. My published letters to; Mr. Mutates, and Mr. DURK, Oil! show, that I do not consider the President a constituent' branch; of the Legisla ture; yet it Is impossible to read the letters that have been addressed to me, withotit believing that many of the writers bad adopted the opinion, that ,this Presidential office was the proper source 'and origin of all the legislation of the country ; an opin ion, in my lodgement, at witty with ['every principle of the constitution, and of deep and; dangerous con. sequence. The prevalence ofsuch sentiments, more than almost any "thing die, would tend to con. solidate the whole substantial pewee of the Govern. ment in the bands of a single man; a tendency which, whether in or out of ace, lifeel it my most solemn duty to resist. I have declined therefore, to gi,e any fUrth et pledges or opinions on subjects which belong to the future legislation of Congresi—becalise, Ipt. I conceive, fur reasons given in thy letters to Mr. WILLIAMS, and Mr. Dovir.F that Congress should be let as much as possible untrammelled by executive influence in the dischargenf its legislative functions; and that a better' rantee for the cor rect conduct of a Chief Mag t race may be found in his character and the con fbis farmer Ilk than in pledges and °plainest ' 0 daring the pendency ua of a doubtful contest; end that, although recognia. ing the right of the people to be informed of the leading political opinions of the candidates for offices of trust. yet as it regards the subjects upon which the Legislature may be called to let. the pledges and opinions should be required, if required at all,. of the canaidates for Congress. 2d. Because, the habits of Considering a single in dividual as the source from which ell the measures of government should emanate. nil degrading to a republic, and of the most dengeroue tendency. . 3d. Because, upon all the questine in regard to which under many circumstances it would be at all proper for me to make answers. my sentiments I have already been fully and clearly given to the public. in a manner to entitle then* to credence, as 1 conceive that no honest 'man Would suffer his friends to publish documents in his name which were not genuine. or containing opiniona' which ha was not then willing to endorse,.

A gross insult to the Working Men of Schuyl kill Counly.—The hireling papers of the, Ad minis 'ration, assert that the working men of this region were paid to attend the great meeting of the Peo= plc at Orwigsburg, on Tuesday the ;28th inst. This' is a base slander upon the eharader, and a libel up on the patriotism of our working men, which we know they will resent in a proper thinner at the bal lot boxes. aThe City Councils of Cincinnati have authorised the distribution of poisoned sausages, for the benefit of the dogs." Our Borough Council ought to confer a similar benefit on the useless dogs of this Borough. More Forgery.—The Globe has published a speech, purporting to have been delivered by Mr, Lincoln of Massachusetts, in reply to the speech of Mr. Ogle, on the subject of the President's Furni ture. Mr. Lincoln has addressed I letter to the edi , tore of the National Intelligences, in which he de: dares that he never made use of :the language im puted to him in the Globe; we copy the following extract from the letter: WORCESTER, (Mass.) July 25, 1840. Mena. GALES & higaToer: I have seen with the utmost atria., in the fp* telligencer of the 23d instant, Which reached me this morning, several certificates from .4 Whig Mem bers of Congres" on the subject of “ a publication in the Globe of the .10th of July,' 1840. under the caption of Messrs. Liwcozs and OGLE," and It has now become proper for me, personally, to notice both the certificates and the matters to which they refer. I shall certainly have no ',controversy with either of the gentlemen who hav seen fit to give these certificates. To thoie of MIS.' STIAILip Azzarr, and Nurion I have nothiOg to object. In deed, to that of the latter, in whom I am happy to recognize a personal at well aslarlitical friend, I would myself most willingly hive • subscribed, and the substantive facts stated by ail, ao jar as respects the procurement of the furniture in the Presi dent's House, I no more questibn than themselves. I have never said, or authcirized to be said . or re i, ported, a single word which' th se certificates' gain say, and I feel entirely consciou o having afforded no cause, on my part, for any interposition between Mr. Oor.z and myself. in the one certificate, howtvlir, of Mr. Jomr C. CLARK and others, there are exp r ions to which id I feel bound to offer a word of re y. I find in it the following paragraph: " The{ a dersigned do not undeitake to say whether, Mr. incoln used the language imputed to.hirn by the Globe or not, but ai be has permitted its pt bliUtien to remain ten days without public contradiction we presume be now adopts the language . uc7ed to him, if he did not originally utter it." If th Ile gentlemen heard the remarks which I did, in .l ,, fact, make on the occa siont,' referred to in the Globet,,l4ey test have known that I did not " originally inter t e language" as Bribed, to me' by that paper in the tie they have taken, nor any thing like it.
