= Saturday .114kati Tits Fotirra os M acn.- 1 -,Long will the 4th . of ,Much, 1841, be reme bered i by the - American peo ple. ' The condemned, the rebuked Martin Van Bu ren, has reluctantly rel nquisked the reins of Govern ment, and Gr.x. Wt. bus Honny HA/Limos . is the:President of the ' sited States ! The chief of eeirenteen millions of ifreemcln I In contemplating this - glorious event, what aburident cause, fellow cit izens, we have to rejoice. For twelve long years we have - been literallj bowed to the ground by the oppression and tyranny- ,of bur taskmasters. The Demon 'of Locofocois*i has been let loose upon us, i i and it has stalked a' oss the land, blighting with its palzied touch the ndustrY and enterprise of the country. But, like t e Israelites of old, we have 'been led out of our captivity, and a view of the 'promised land" now bursts upon our enraptureitvi.„ con. The political °noon is once more clear and unclouded, and the signs of better days and better times are multiplyin4 on all sides. Locofocoism— demoralising and revoßnionary locofocoism—is crush ed, and Democracy once more is in the ascendant! The 4th of March !was celebrated by the Demo crats`of this boroueh F in the moat appropriate and joyous manner. The day was ushered intby the German Harrison and playing several patriotic and spirit stirring ni s ; and at an early hour the "Stars and StripeP ' ight have been seen in various pang. of the town, g lantly floating in the breeze.— In the evening an elegant supper was provided at Mr. George Bruram'il Hotel, of which, as the reader may suppose, none bat good, genuine democrats par took. The Hotelis brilliantly illtiminated and excited general ad miration. Our old war songs, which led us on to 4ictory during the Into presiden tial contest, were -r e vived this night ; and the air was made vocal by allarge portion of the "rising gen eratton" of Pottsville; singing the well known song of tiTippecanon and Tyler, too." The pleasures of the evening were no t a ,little enhanced by the exe cution, in capital style, of several appropriate pieces of music, by Captain Coatesworth's Pottsville Band. At Port Carbon, Our democratic friends hailed the 4th of March with ihe most lively and heartfelt de monstrations. Flats were flying, music playing, and the-cannon "talking" i 9 the loudest kind of style; at ,BiapsOn's Hotel, the. !tallest" sort of a dinner was served up,' and ' he way the good things of this life.appeare'd and isappeared, was a- caution to all epicures, gourmands, and bon vivant:. Awirri-Ear.t.4rox."lf a Bombshell had ex ploded, or an officer of Justice had made a regular descent upon a Gainbling-house, it could not have caused a greater commotion, among our Danville friends, than our remarks two weeks- ago about "itool pigecins" did. if we are to judge from the frothy emanations vhich they have given birth too the last' Danville Intelligencer.—Well, well, ,44Truth" it is said 44is mighty," and sometimes does work wonders .— 'ten the "troubled waters" in that quarter assume a more even surface, we may feel disposed to 44witke up" our neighbors again. al. Congress give $35,000 to furnish the Presi dent's house durint Gen. Jackson's term—and $2O,- 000 to Mr. Van B ren, nearly all of which was ex pended in foreign trimppery and expensive gewgaws, a large portion of which now hang about the Cap itol, in a filthy condition, and must be removed, while the more 7bs!anfial comforts of the house appear to have been entirely neglected. On in quiring into the co:dition of the Furniture, the bed ding found - wilt 'n t sufficient to accommodate Gen. Harrison's private family—and he was compelled to give Col. Chambers, who made the inquiry, an or der to procure a ciantitY before he could take pos session of the White House.

The Spy in Washington, in alluding to the Post Office.Depaitment, says : "Mr. Granger, like every-,other head of a Depart. meat, will enter upon the discharge of his official duties, as Post Master General, amidst bankruptcy, desolation and ruin. Ile will have to contend with strong prejudices, excited by an overbearing influ ence, and a vulgar deportment on the part of Ken dal; but MT. Granger is a gentleman of great cour tesy and urbane manners, and will soon soften the asperities thus created. The Post Office department. in reference to its pe curiary situation, is in a deplorable state. There are contractors-here in search of money,-but as well might they attempt to "call spirits from the vasty deep. It is generally believed by those who are beSt ictormed, that the department is in arrears nearly one, million of dollars. If this be true, and his statement in 1837, that he had a surplus of $BOO, NO be true, it follows, that he has expended, yearly and every yeiir, four hundred and fifty thousand del /ors more than the receipts of the office.

There will be associated with her, Mrs. Taylor, the 'youngest daughter of General Harrison, and Mrs. Taylor, the mother of the last mentioned lady's husband. The General's wife intends to remain-the mistress of North Bend, and at the White House will be a visiter. It will interest some of our readers to know that all these ladies are cummunicants in the Episcopal Church. The General's private Secretary will be his son-in law, Mr. Taylors 0:1. Gen.

On Thursday week he should enter 'on the discharge of his official duties. The condition of the country, he remarked, was critical.

WHAT ' S IN the WiNn I—The Mail contractors between Reading and Northumberland, have receiv ed instructions to cease carrying the Mail on Sun day between those places, and one-seventh of the compensation deducted for' one year. Is this step rendered necessary to cover the amount squandered by the department during the recent contest ?—or is it one of the last measures of reform, to be charged to the reforming administration, TnE DIFFEIIENCE.—The late Bank of the United Stites collected upwards of four hundred million dollars, without the loss of a single cent to the Go vernment. Since its destruction as a natioual insti tution by the reformers, the Government has already lost by the pet hank and' Sub-Treasury system, sev eral millions of dollars, according to Secretary Wood bury's report.

THE MINElig JOITESAL. IRON ORE Di SCHUYLKILL COUNTY. Wq publish the following communication from our respected townsman, Mr. Samuel B. „fisher, with I plcasure.; He is perhaps better acquainted with the subject on which he 'treats, than. any other person • . rt the county, having traversed the' region from one extremity to the other, in his capacity as Engineer and Land Surveyor—and effectually puts to rest any doubts as,regards the quantity oflron Ore, and the immense resources of this region,particu lady when we state, that these calculations only em brace the number of vems already opened in various sections of the region, and may not include more than one-half of the actual quantity of Ore imbedded in our mountains. FOR THE IiTIHEIIS ' JOURNAL Mr. Bannon—l have heard doubts expressed of the quantity of Iron Ore in this Coal field. Having traversed the First, or Schuylkill Coal Field from Mauch Chunk mines to the Dauphin County line, I will state what has come cinder my observation, which I think will place the subject beyond a doubt I will give the arrangement as I have classed the measures, beginning with the Mine Hill Range, which is twenty-three miles in length, veins from 3 to 18 inches in thickness, making not less than sev en feet of Ore and an average width of breast above water level of 100 feet. The Diamond Range, including the Oie at St. Clair and at Wolf Creek, North-west of Millersville, in veins of from 3 to 20 inches in thickness, making not less than 8 feet of Ore twenty-eight miles in length, and an average width of breast of 60 feet above water level. The- Pottsville Range is twenty-five miles in length, in veins of from 3 to 10 inches in thickness, making not less than 3} feet of Ore, and, an aver age width of breast above water level of 60 feet. The Sharp Mountain Range contains not less than 3 feet of Ore, thirty miles in length, and a breast of 200 feet above water level. The Coal Basin between the Mine Hill and Broad. Mountain contains not less than 3 feet of Oro, ten miles long, and a breast of 80 feet above water level. Yours, &c. SAMUEL B. FISHER Porrsyna.s., March 2d, 1841. 1F01 . ..TL1,E MINER ' S .10nINAL.] TO WHOM IT MAT CONCEIIN. No. 3. CAN A LS—BOATS—BOATMEN. Our remarks this week will commence with the Locktenders and Agents of the Delaware & Raritan Canal Co. This Company have, it is said, a set of rules for those who navigate their Canal. This no doubt is the fact, but where are the Boattnen to see them ? there is but one or two copies of them that ever came to my notice, and it is unjust to punish us for an infringement of the Company's laws when ignor ant of their existence. If they have been read they have been forgotten ; and as it would be asking too much, for us to remember them after a single glance, —so it is acting too severe for us to suffer in conse quence. Let every Boat be furnished with a copy of the Rules and Regulations by the Company, and then we can be considered amenable to them. What right the Lock-tenders have to tie up boats when their dignity is called in question, instead of damage being done to the Canal, may be tested be fore a Court ofJustice the coming season if they con tinue to do so. Many of the Bridge-houses have no light at night, and if the Bridge-tender was liable to a fine for this neglect, there would be no cause to complain of the boats running against them. The Raritan Canal, (barring these objections) is the boast of our Boatmen ; and it is really gratifying to all of them when they get out of the Schuylkill with its curves, rocks, gravel points, sand bars, and ditches, and enter the beautiful navigation of the Delaware and Raritan Canal. There is no occasion for a Boat to strike the bank the whole distance, and if there was stabling for our horses at Bordentown, Princeton and New Bruns wick, I would say to the managers of the Schuylkill, here's a model for you. There is serious objections to taking Barges of any kind in the same tow with Boats—there has been much damage done in consequence of it, and besides, there is some doubt whether a Freight Barge arriving at either end of the Canal after the Coal Boat, is justly entitled to the preference of be ing towed, to the exclusion of all boats before it.— This has been the case, and we submit the matter to Capt. Stockton's naval experience to decide. If we omit the fault finding due the Captains of Steamboats, for their aptness to consider us Dogs, only deserving of their Oaths, and other superfluous breeding, we may'say we are safely at New York ! And now we are there, it is particularly recommend ed to several of the Coal dealers there, to come up to the golden rule, and n Do unto us, as•they would have us do unto them !" In what particular respect shall be told them next week. "Gen Harrison's election was to bring ,in the Millenium upon us. It was to operate as a charm upon the thsease of the body politic. It •vas to cure all our distresses, remove all our embarrass ments, and bring in a new era of prosperity upon .us. What a humbug! Are the times improved! Where is the reform promised us 1 Where is that mighty •change" which the God-like Webster held out to us! No where: It is all a humbug!" The above precious piece of drivelling- is from the Richmond Enquirer of February last. We were just going to make a few comments upon it when a paragraph in the Louisville Journal, which seems to fit exactly, caught our eye. ~T he Van Buren pa: pers, says" Prentice, " persist in abusing Gen. Har rison because lie has not already restored the pros perity •of the country.— Highly as we think of the old Generale wisdom and patriotism, we real-. ly do not expect his administration to accomplish much before it comes into existence. We have heard of lack the Giant-Killer's sword, which was so sharp that it cut half a mile in advance. of its edges; but we freely admit that Geri Harrison's Administration is not quite so sharp as that." —N. Y. Democrat. co-Friend Cook, in his last paper insinuates pret ty strongly that we are no gentlemen. . This is very unkind, indeed, on the part of Mr. Cook—and de cidedly silly. With the same exertion on' the part of our pen, we could insinunte quite as strongly that Mr. Co* is a very great blackguard,--but perhaps we might be quite as unfortunate in convincing those who know Mr. Cook, that he really is,a black guard,las he would be in persuading those who know us, that we are no gentleman. Therefore we shall not quarrel with Mr. Cook about epithets—and dis miss the subject until he finds "time and inclination" to answer the query we propounded to him a few weeks since. • 0-The Harrisburg Telegraph states that a for sign mission will be tendered to Thaddeus Ste yens.

Section 14—Repeals conflicting, and prior acts. tbastivass fir Wily . Yons.—The Express of Sat urday afternoon says c The blighting effect of the suspension of specie 'payments at the South, is most sensibly felt in a va riety of ways. Real estate owners, particularly those of stores, find their rents reduced ten to twenty per cent. Merchants who had taken stores find that their. prospects bf business are sensibly diminished. Capitalists who held state and other stocks, find a ruinous falling off in value. The owners of . United States Bank stock have nearly lost their all. The losses in all shapes are most appalling. The blow has fallen as heavily on this city as it has on the South. What merchant here that deals with the South, that does not feel it most deeply. Our ex changes, th'at were approximating to par, are at the most ruinous rates,—thousands and thousand are daily paid and lost in thess differences." In confirmation of the above, 4 gentleman direct from New York, has assured us that that city will suffer to a much greater extent, by the anspension, than the advantage she derived by the withdrawal of so large a portion of specie and specie funds from the Philadelphia Banks. ALL SORTS OF ITEAS. A NEW WAY TO PAY OLD DEBTS.—Governor Mc- Nutt, of Mississippi, in vetoing the bill to pay the bonds of that State;-armnig his reasons for so doing states that the bonds given to the United States Bank were sold to Rothschilds, and then adds: " The blood of Judas flows in hie veins, and he unites the characteristics of both. He has a mort gage upon ,the gold Mines of Mexico and the quick silver of Spain; he has loaned money to the Sublime Porte, and holds a mortgage upon the Holy City of Jerusalem, and the Sepulchre of our Lord Jesus Christ." Well, this is the most ingenious piece of execu tiue swindling that the people of this country ever heard of. It is precisely of the character of that of King John of England, who borrowed large sums of the Jews to maintain his kingdom, and drew out their teeth when they asked for payment. How came this honist Governor to take money from those •Shylocks,' as he calls them, for the internal improvement of his state if payment was'to be with held on such grounds? Citizens of other states, like joint partners in a commercial concern, cannot suf• ter a rouge to continue in the firm, and thus endan• ger the character and credit of the whole onion at home and abroad. If the people of the Lynching - state do not promptly disavow such doctrines and drive McNutt from power, that state ought not to he considered a component part of the union and it should be annexch to Texas or any conntry con senting to receive it. There is not a people on the face of the globe who would stoop to the disgrace of such an excuse to avoid paying an honest debt.—New York Star. SOUTH CAROLINA.—This State voted for Aaron Burr for President, against Thomas Jefferson ; it iilso voted for Martin Van Buren for President, against William Henry Harrison. The same, we believe may be said of New flamp shire. The fact needs no comment.—Madisonian. ABSENCE OF MIND Last Case.—An office—holder woke • up the other morning, and persisted in calling himself a Whig. It is supposed he will not discov er his mistake until somebody is appointed in his room. Cracks in the stoves and stove pipes, are readily closed by a paste made of ashes and salt, with wa ter.

FEVER AND AGUE.—Prentice, of the Louisville Jonrnal says, "we perceive that some of the office. holders, who have been exceedingly impertinent in elections, are extremely feverish on the subject of the tenure of their offices.

PRESIDENT HARRISON'S xxamitriuterzosr ADDRESS. Owing to the politeness and prompt attention of our Philadelphia cotemporaiies, wo received last evening copies of this long looked for address. It occupies six columns of the Philadelphia Ledger.— In consequence of its length we are unable to present it in full to our readers. The address is written in the most simple, elegant and masterly mastner, and breathes a spirit of the purest patriotism, and an bonest and sincere desire to heal the wounds of party spirit, and to - restore the country to its original and pristine vigot. In it occasion is taken by the President to renew the pledges given by him previous to his election, with a solemn promise to redeem . them. Allusion is made to the Veto power, its abuse and when only it should bo used; and we are told that the first six Presidents never made use of that power. The character of our currency is discussed, and the idea of an .exclusive metallic currency ridiculed, as calculated to plunge the country into the greatest distress, and to cause the poorer classes of .our com munity to leel that distress more acutely. The interference of federal officeholders in elec- tions is strongly condemned. Our foreign relations are spoken of, and a spirit shown to place them on amicable and peaceable footing, so far as is compatible with our national honor and dignity. The President expresses himself hostile to any and every attempt to form an •executive party" in the halls of the Legislative body. A wise and paternal desire is evinced to support the credit of such of our States as are now deeply in debt, without violating the Constitution. The President concludes his address by a simple and beautiful expression of reverence for the Chris tian religion, and a just reliance upon the Great Disposer of all things.
