' rex INAVGCRI.TION ADDRESS.—WO offer no apology for occupying so large a portion of the pre sent number of the Miners' Journal with President Harrison's Inauguration Address, to the exclusion of our usual miscellany, &c. It is a document which should be in the hands of every American, and carefully preserved for future reference. It is an epitome of sound democratic principles, which are moat ably applied to the abuses and corruptions of the administrations of Jackson and Van Buren. The style of this noble document is simple, forcible, and eloquent, and the sentiments which it contains, must find a ready and warm response from al( who have the Welfare of the republic at heart. We are s pieased to learn, verbally, from Harrisburg, that the Democratic Convention on Wednesday last, nominated this gentleman, as the Democratic candidate for. Governor at the ensuing election by acclamation,—there being no opposition against him. If the, signs of the times do not deceive us, he will be triumphantly elected in October next.— Even Schuylkill county is becoming very restive under the iron fetters which have. heretofore bound her dciwn to the footstool of Locofocoisna—and our farmers are beginning to say, that the preaching of Locofocoism is sometimes very good—but the prac tice is becoming intolerable. INSPECTOICs AND ASSF.ssOII'S ELECTION.-011 Friday next, an election for Inspectors and Judges of the General election, and Constables and Asses sors for the ensuing year, will be held throughout this county.

Wen I—Not withstanding the swaggering, both on the part of Untie Sam and John Bull, there will be no war. That's poz ! Brother Jonathan owes John Bull the cool sum of two hundred millions, and John Bull has no notion to jeopard that amount by having a "set-to" with his Yankee creditor. It is as clear as mud. There will be no war. Stick a pin there," as we politicians say. Tee NEW SENATB.—According to the Proclama tion of the President, the Senate met on the 4th of March, at Washington. Mr. King, of Alabama, of ficiated as President, pro tern., of that body. , The new members, who compose, of course, one third of the body, presented their credentials, and took the oaths of office. • We are pleased to team that one of the large class of Anthracite Furnaces, recently erected at Danville, by Messrs. Biddle, Chambers & Co., was blown in a few days since under the superintendence of a Pennsylvania t Charcoal Furnace man, and is now doing well—iirith a fair prospeCt of running oot from BO to 100 tone of metal weekly. This is the third Anthracite Furnace in operation in Danville. (rf. We can hardly keep the run of the weather.

Some of the Safety Fund Country Institutions, it is also stated, are nut in a much better condition than the free banks. If we recollect aright, free banking has been the favorite system with the locos. 0 :7. We know of no greater compliment that could be paid to Gen. Harrison, than the charge by the Globe, that his Inaugural Address was written by Daniel Webster. , If it bears a comparison with the productions of the giant intellect of that eminent Statesman, then indeed does it prove that Gen. Har rison is "no granny," but a man of abundant capaci ty, and superior intellect. We hear nothing of importance. from our Le gislative Halls at Harrisburg. Mr. Hindman was detained from his seat by indisposition--and there appears to be no disposition to touch the Baok question during his absence. Indeed, according to the letter writers, there was an apparent apathy in the; Legislature on the subject of any bill of relief. jThe Canadians are at last coming to their sen ses. One of the Montreal papers-- ,, The Times"— fully approves of the arrest and imprisonment of McLeod, and says that the New York authorities have a perfect )-ight to try McLeod for his alleged participation in the destruction of the Caroline. The stoppage of.the Mails on Sunday, by John M. Nile, late Postmaster General, gives general dissatisfaition. A number of the Contractors have already entered their protest against this unjust pro ceeding. co. So great was the demand for beds in Wash ington on the evening prior to the Inauguration, that several hundreds were compelled to sleep in the Rail-road Cars. They must have had a fine time of it. Folks are flocking back from Washington in all directions. The office-seekers have not made a Move as yet. They remain as immovable as a rock. • • ....Lkt • Alb - ~. usc - • - \.•.•.**‘• POTTSVILLE. JUDGE BINKS. ..- T-14,E- m...t.NEßw.t4alin.wAL: TUE FOtrltTli of MAU= CONVENTIONr-Thi I members of ibis body met at the Court Housi., Her. risburg, on the 4th of March., After the prelimina ry business hid been disposed of, Mr. H. B. Wright nominated DAVID R. PORTER for Governor, „which nomination was almost unanimously approv ed of—Messrs. Bigelow and Foster only voting in opposition. The Resolutions and Address prepared by this august body, to be administered to the federal loco foco party of this. State, are intended, we presume, to bolster up the claims of Governor Porter. A more impotent, weak, and miserable appeal to the people for their suffrages and support we never read. Ig norance, impudence, and a gross perversion of facts, are the leading features of these beautiful emanations of locofocoi;m. In the address we are told that the debt of the State amounted to $30,000,000 when Gov. Porter assumed the Gubernatorial Chair! and yet ardimg the resolutions it will be found gravely Petsolved" that the sum in question was $35,000,- 000!!! Some of the resolutions are extremely amusing.— Ono of them informs us, with all the pomp of bom. bast, that locofocoisna of Pennsylvania has never sustained and never will sustain two successive de feats. We are not aware of the extent of the sus taining po'ver of the loccifoco party, but in October next ii will be tested to its utmost capacity. We routed the destructures last fall, and the coming fall will see the Democratic Whig banner, with the name of Judge Banks inscribed thereon, floating proudly and in triumph over the Keystone State. On the subject of Banks the resolutions declare that the party "deserves and demands a thorough reformation of the present unwholesome and corrupt banking system, and contends for the eradication of its abuses and vices, it does not seek the destruction of the Banks." This doctrine o s the same as is advocated and acted upon by the democratic Harri son party—consequently there is no difference of opinion on this subject between the two parties. A fling, of course, is had at a National Bank.— These wiseacres is finance cooly assert that the ex perience 01 forty years prove that such an institution is pernicious in its effects upon the cou.tnerce and the currency of the country. What miserable twaddle to foist upon an intelligent community ! There is not a school boy in the land•but knows that this asser tion is untrue in every particular. A small slice of glorification is offered 'up to Mar tin Van Buren by the Convention ; and we are positively assured that every act of his administra tion was based upon democratic principles as preach. ed and practiced by Jefferson, Madison, and Jack son. It is singular that the people are nut sufficient. ly credulous to believe this. Colonel Johnson receives his share of praise, and his patriotism and democracy justly lauded. This laudatory resolotion, however, is likely to be ex punged as soon as it is known that the gallant Col onel has given in his adhesion to Gen. Harrison's administration. COLLECTED WISDOM OP THE. STATE. " —The editor of the Harrisburg Chronicle, during his leisure moments perpetrates "pen and ink sketches" of the members of the Legislature, and ushers them to the world, under the head of a "Portrait Gallery." In his last paper he "hits off" the member from Schuyl kill in the following style : " Mr. WEAvia, the Representative from Schuyl kill county, sits next on the left of Mr. Howrori. Mr. W. is a mail contractor or stage proprietor by occupation, and seldom makes any noise in the House. He is about forty years of age, of an agree- able countenance, dark complexion, light blue eyes, and easy manners. He is rather below the bud'. am size, of a light frame, without any thing remark able in his appearance ; and I have no, doubt he is quite as good a judge of a horse or a stage coach, as he is of an act of Assembly. Of course Mr. %V. corning from the county of Schuylkill, must be a decided friend of the present State Administration, and so far as voting is concerned, he adheres reli. gious to the creed of his party. This is his first ap. appearance on the Legislative boards ; and he op pears•to be generally respected by) his fellow mem.• bars: but he has not favored the House With any displays of oratory. He, however, has business hab. its, and may make a useful member." CONORESS....—Congreis adjourned on the 3d inst., after a stormy session of some three months. We would now ask, what has been done by our federal law-makers, during that time. Have suitable mea sures been passed to meet the wants and exigencies of an impoverished Treasury 1 No. Have provi sions been made in order to supply the known defi ciency between the receipts and expenditures of the Government ? No. Have the necessary steps been taken to place the country at thy-"critical moment in a position of defence ? No. Have the prayers and petitions of half a million of honest but unfortunate bankrupts been heard and granted? No. Well, what has been done. Saving and accepting the op . - propriation bills, and some other bills of an unimpor tant character, nothing has been done. Most of the members have talked—talked—talked—and, abused• one' another like pick-pockets ,and blackguards, but as for being of any. practical benefit to their constit uents, was totally out of the question, CHRISTIAN FORGIVENESS.—We are among those who believe that one of the most difficult precepts of the Christian religion to put in practice is forgive ness of our enemies—to present the right cheek to the emiter of the left. We overheard the other day; a somewhat laughable illustration of its difficulty.— We were standing in front of our office when we observed two little girls end a boy approach, in charge of a girl about twelve years old. Owing to a dispute that was evidently raging among the little party, they half stopped when they came opposite to our sanctum. Words grew bitter and warm, and at last the boy exclaimed to his young governess— ,.There., now, Martha, you say you love Maiy and Jane better than you do me; but you good for no thing, nasty thing, you ought to love those that hate you !" We will not trouble our readers with Martha's reply. It was a natural one, but not in accordance with the true spirit of Christianity. But, remember, she was only twelve years of age. Awrrt. CATASTROPIIE.—The Steamer Creole, with a very valuable cargo on board, was destroyed by fire on the Red River, on her passage from Nat chidoches to New Orleans, on the morning of the 15th ult. The passengers, more than sixty in num ber, consisting of men, women and children; were all in their berths when the fire first broke out.— About forty reached the shore and the balance were drowned. There .was scarcely an article saved.— The passengers, male and female, with scarcely an exception, eecaped with barely what they slept in.— Some were in a state of nudity. CaTnouc Bisnors.—The Catholic Herald says "We have heardfcom.a source entitled to credit, that the Papal Bulls have been received, appointing the Rev.

Tuirty-seven gentlemen of the corps editorial sat down. Col. Seaton, of the National Intelligen cer, presided, assisted by Col. Stone, of the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser, The whole affair passed off in the .most delightful manner. , Biz Dais !Alma Tama Enueds.—The steanii ship. President, from LiVirpool, arrived at-New York on thd 3d inst., after a stormy and boisterous passage: of twenty one days. The most important intell4 gence which she brings is the partial failure of the English Expedition against the Cbioese, and an eni imated discussion in the British Parliament growing out of the meat of McLeod by the authorities , of New York. This discussion has placed the late administration in no very enviable light. Martih Van Buren and his worthy colleagues are fairly and fully convicted of meanness and subserviency to ,the British Gov ernment, rind of duplicity' and falsehood to their own. It appears that our minister at the Court of St. James, •Mr. Stevenson, in 1839, made a format demand up on the British government to discountenance the capture, &c., of tin; steamboat Caroline. In reply; he received a note from Lotd Palmerston, " justify ing to the fullest extent the capture of the Caroline !" Mr. Stevenson called upon Lord Palmerston and re quested him to withdraw his note of justification, as it would place Mr. Van Buren in an awkward pre dicament and•mighe lead to trouble. The note was not withdrawn; Mr. Stevenson pocketed the insult, and the American people have thus been kept in ig norance of this disgraceful and dishonorable transac tion for nearly two years. The remarks of Lord Melbourne in the House of Lords, and Lord Palmerstonin the House of Coin mons are calculated to increase the war excitement in this country, and to throw fresh obstacles in the way of a friendly and amicable settlement of the diffi culties which at present AiA. between the United States and Great Britain. The British ministers distinctly give their official sanction, on the floor of Parliament, to the capture and destruction of the steamboat Caroline ; and plainly intimate that the British Government will make common cause with McLeod. This is rather a ticklish state of affairs ; but we rel 7 with unwavering confidence upon the preseht administration, The destinies of the country are now controlled by the honest, patriotic', end talented ; and surely we have nothing to fear with such men to guide the helm of state. Pnestmrs.—We wouldn't feel much insulted! if the sovereigns would elect us President, and then serve us out the same way they have Old Tip. people not only willed that the Old Hero should be the occupant Of the White Houae, but tbey have willed that he should go to u housekeeping " in a style not to be sneezed at. Lord ! what presents a generous and enlightened people have showered up on the President! All right. Ho deserves them, and as much more, for he is a public benefactor in every sense of the word. Chairs hatte been presen ted to him, and tables have been presented to him, of all. sorts ana sizes, not to say anything of beds and bedding, curtains, carpets, and kitchen utensils. The democrats of the Monuniental City have not only given Old Tip a splendid and substantial coach to ride in, but they have actually forced upon his ac ceptance a pair of black Cloth breeches, of American manufacture, with coat and vest to match. Mr. Isaac Newton, of Delaware county, in this State, presen ted the old General, on the morning of the fourth, with a mammoth calf. Whew ! what a whopper he was! The head of the mammoth calf" was served up at the inauguration dinner at the White House, and strange as it may appear, Mr. Woodbury was present at the said dinner ; and by a strange coinci dence, not yet explained, the dish containing the calf's bead was placed immediately in front of the distinguished ex-Secretary of the Treasury ! We don't vouch for this, however, but merelyative it as an on dit. (frßno wssos, Editor of the Boston Quarterly Review, a strong writer, and a rabid locofoco, but somewhat of a latitudinarian in politics as well as in religion, gives the following as one of the causes of their defeat in the recent election : "Aside from certain constitutional and political reasons, whet arguments can you bring against a National Bank that do not bear with equal force against State banks ? Nay, once admit the policy (Al paper circulation, and it is questionable wheth. er you ere not unwise in opposing a National bank. If the States are to be suffered to issue, eitl•er di. rectly or indirectly, through institutions of their own creating. a paper currency like the one we now have, it may be contended with justice, that a Na tional Bank is needed; nay, all but indispensable. Nothing can be worse than as many different cur rencies as there are States, and as many different currencies there will be, if the currency be left to the States. A principle reason for desiring a uni on of the States was, that we might have a curren cy which should not vary with each State, but be of uniform value throughout all the States. The interests at' trade, nay, of industry, of labor, imperiously demand that the currency of Massa chusetts and 3lississippi should be of the same val ue. Does any body believe this can be the case, so long es our currency is paper, and this paper is is— sued by State institutions, and subject to the action of the State Legislatures Now the administration party has opposed the United States Bank, without opposing paper mon ey ; it has opposed the only measure which can pos. sibly render that policy to any degree tolerable. This has been its error." Coioxric JonNsov.—For some weeks past it has been summed that this distinguished Soldier and Statesman had determined to give the administra tion of Gen. Harrison, his old commander, a fair and honest support. This rumor has at last attain ed a tangible shape, and it is now stated in .several of the New York papers, that the gallant and patri otic Colonel publicly announces his adhesion to the new administration, and repudiates and denounces the leading measures of the administration of Mar tin' Van Buren and his "Illustrious predecessor."— The Colonel, in particular, condemns the conduct of the "Old Roman," in persecuting to destruction the U. S. Bank. I • • Col. Johnson has always:commanded the respect of both friends and foes by his upright, indeOndent, manly course of conduct; and the secession of .. such a man from the federal loeofoco pariy will cause great consternation among the "faithful." We trust that the example of this pure minded patriot will not be lost.upon the'deluded and infatuated ad herents of Jackson and Van Buren ; and that they will soon renounce the support of those destructive doctrines, which has brought so much misery and misfortune upon this country. On Wednesday, the 3d inst., William S. Ar cher, Esq., formerly a member of Congress, was elec ted by the Virginia Legislature U. S.

New COIIPORATIONS.—We learn that several of our Farmers intend applying to the Legislature for Acts of Incorporation, for the purpose of stocking and farming their lands—and, we presume also, for the purpose of speculating. We can see no reason able objection to these applications so long as our Legislature-persists in granting Coal Charters. There exists about the same necessity for the one as there does for the other—and it requires quite as much capital to stock and cultivate a farm of some two hundred acres, as it does to open veins and mine coal on a similar sized tract of coal land in an availa ble district.

Uiteratasoir Coursios.—Aire copy the follow ing painful intelligence from the Philadelphia Inqui ier of Thursday last: The malls -of last night brought us several inter esting items from Washington. A passenger in formed the editor of the-Baltimore Sun, that a pain ful and unpleasant scene occurred in the Senate on Tuesday evening between Mr. Clay, of Kentucky, and Mr. King, of Alabama. It ie stated that during the debate on the resolution for the dismissal of Blair & Rives, elected printers to the Senate during the late session, Mr. Clay made some remarks de rogatory to the character of Mr. Blair, and was res ponded to by Mr. King, who said that Mr. Blair's character was as good as Mr. Clay's. To this Mr. Clay replied, that any person who would Say that, uttered a falshood, coupling the remark with an im putation of Cowardice. Mr. King declined a verbal reply, sat down, wrote a note, and sent it to lir. Clay, who returned an answer; and the Senate then broke up in great confusion: The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Clipper, gives a similar account thus: In the course of the debate Mr. Clay thought prop per to make some rather pointed remarks in relation to the personal character of Mr. Blair.—On this, Mr. King rose, and, pointing towards Mr. Clay. said the character of Mr. Blair was as good as that of the Senator. Mr. Clay replied, that the man who would say so was guilty of a falsehood, and a coward- or words to that affect. Mr King said he had nothing inere:to say, but took his seat and wrote a note, which he handed to Mr Clayt• An answer was returned by the latter, and, n ithout taking the question on the resolution, the Senate almost immediately adjourned- Letters from Washington, says the Baltimore American, refer to reports current in that city, that the British minister, in conformity with instructions, brought out by the Steamer President, had addressed a letter to Mr. Webster, containing a demand for the immediate liberation of McLeod. What reply was made, if any, is not stated. We learn that on Sat urday a conference in person was held between Mr. Webster and Mr. Fox. We learn from the Harrisburg Chronicle that air.
