- THE WORKING MAN'S FRIEND. ,

It ic h'igh time for! the workingmen of this state
to ekert thrit political and moral weight in the com
munity which right f ully belongs to them. They
have t
ck to
long been (duped by the arts and specious
romis of political harlatans—too long been phum
bugged b individuals witL whom self-aggrandise
ment is t act witini principle. Their rights have
beer invaded, .their interests trifled with, and their
will openly disregarded. -
.
Workinemen l yon have the power to correct
the evils alluded :to. You have the power to place
men in office whci will guard, watch over and protect
your interests—rden every way entitled to your Con
fidence. Among the foremost we might mention
GEORGE N. ECKERT, the Democratic candidate
fir asSernbly.
We venture to. assort that there is no man in
Schuylkill county heltter quilifted -by education and
experience to repres4nt her wants in our Legislative
Hall than GEORKe;r. 111. ECKERT. A long residence
in Schuylkill countythas made him known to most of
our citizens; and that knowledge carries with it ro*
epect enJ esteem~ Examine his character closely—
and, if you will, with feelings of distrust and suspi
cion—and you will Find that there is no act in his
public or private life that his friends need be ashamed
of ; but, on the centtary, his professi ms and practi
ces, et all times and ton all occasions, have ever pro
ved the soundnesa of his principles and the ardor of
his patriotism. 1
I • Workingmen! Gborge N. Eckert is pecul-arly
y,our friend—your tied friend. ' When your suffra
ges see solicited f .1. Inch a man s party trammels and
\considerations shotild alike be forgotten. After
all, that are parties; end least of all, party names.
You know and feel [hat you have the welfare of your
Country at heart, and whether you ate called Whig,
Tory„lDemocrat, or Locofoco, you know that feeling
cannot be destroyed j It is a part and parcel of the
nature offevery American citizen. It cannot be ef
faced or obliterated. We believe that tbe mass of
both parties ore lOnest and patriotic; and at the
same time we believe, that theifennflidence is too fie
fluently abused by ri:set of mercenary scoundrels--
e a u t h em l ea d t c,, ifyou choose—who enter into a
political contest, not out of a. regard which they-pro
fess for the people, but in order -to secure the
" spoils" in case victory should crown their efforts.
" Principles - and •Men" should be your motto. If a
candidate for office 4 honest, capable, and will carry
out the principles yoU 'profess, vote for him—vote for

upstarts democrats . ; infliels christians; profligates
gentlemen, and so on to the-end of the chapter.
We say, again, Workingmen, that George N
Eckert is your friend. We went no greater proof
than the king. warm, consistent, and unwavering sup-
OH that he has allays given to a. Protective Tariff
- - -a Tariff that will rpiitect American Industry and
enterprise—a Tariff that will indeed prove the poor
man's friend.
Let us understand the true meaning of a Protec
tive Tariff—its objects—the benefits likely to be
conferred by its establishment. Many of the work
ingmen of Schuylkill. county know from experience
and observation that the wages of labor both in
Great Britain and on the continent is low, miserably
low; that in some places a laborer is only paid a t
the rate of FIVE CENTS a day. In consequence
of these low wages. the foreign manufacturer of cot
ton goods. cloth, boots, shoes, hate, hardware, &c.
&c. can undersell the American manufacturer in his
own market; notwithstanding the former has to
transport his gocids for , thou - ands of miles. A ware
of this, Congres's has thought it necessary to estab-.
lish a tariff; or, / in lothih..words, to impose a fixed
duty on a variety of articles, the products and man
ufactures of foreign countries. The benefits of this
duty are obvious. It sustains the high wages of A
merica against the law wages- of Europe, and it en-r
steles our msnufictiirers, to compete successfully
,with their foreign rivals. ;Remove that duty, and ,
'you drive the AmeriCan manufacturer out of the mar
ket—you destroy pis diusiness; and ruin lila prospects,
or, else,.you conainlihim to reduce the wai l iks of his
workmen to the vcamo rates which the wdrkoten of
Europa reecive. this 4'• a consummation most de;

• •
Wo think it cann..t have escaped your observa
tion, the scant of ad,quato proi e ction on the part of
the general government to the tdolliers of the United
States. Pennsylvania alone pOisesses an almost in
exhaustible quantity of Anthracite and Bituminous
coal, more than sufficient to supply the whole Union
for centuries to come; and yet 'thousands of tons of
coal are annually imprted into this country from
Great Britain.
Notwithstanding a duty of six cents, per bushel,
is impoied on foreign coal imported into the United
States, and the expenses incurred in transporting it
over 3000 miles, it can be brought into success•
ful competition with our own coal in ; our market.
Many causes may -be assigned, for this unnatural
state of afitirs, and with which, doubtless, you are
familiar.
1
We believe the evil alluded to can only be reme
died-by an increase of duty on pireign coal—say to
twelve cents,.per bushel. The imposition of such a
duty wirild protect the Ameitcan Collier, and, at
the same time not prove prejudtcial to the inttrits
of the consumer of coal. Such a protection would
prove the beat sort
, of capital tol our colliers ; and in
the end enable them to furnish their coal to the con
sumer at a less price than they arenow paying for
the same. Any ono familiar with the history of
American Manufactures must assent Va the correct
ness of this assertion.
An additional duty we think should likewise be
imposed on foreign iron. Unless such a wholesome
protection is extended, the American Iron Trade
must ever remain in a feeble and languishing con
dition.
We are, sir, workingmen, and; keenly feel the ur
gent necessity of being protected against the ill-paid
labor of Einem [murder that we may receive fair, re
muneratingwages for our labor. I.Ve need not tell you
that Schuylkill county is the heart and centre et the
greatest coal _and iron region on this continent—that
her interests imperatively require that her colliers and
iron masters should be protected; from the ruinous ef
fects of foreign competition.
In conclusion, sir, we beg leave to say, we are
anxious to knotv your views on the propas , :il alter-
ation in the Tariff', so that the people of this county
may ba early apprised of what intimately affects
their prosperity.

jIIDGE' BAN , REPLY.
PENTLE3IEN received your letter last evening,
and now give it a hasty reply. Its subject is one of
deep interest, not only to r you, but to the American
people. All the means of human enj 'Talent and in
dividual wealth are but the products of labor and
national happiness and prosperity ore always in pro
portion to active industry.. The certainty of a fair
and liberal reward for labor, is the str ingest induce
ment to invest capital and skill laborious employ.
ments. When thus employed, workmen will be fur
nishid with means; of applying their labor to advan
tage, and to'the improvenient df machinery, which
odds much to the productive power of human indus.
try..and will not fail to furnish a -good article at a fair
price. The employment of capital in home labor, in
preference to traffic in foreign commodities, is a po.
'hey indispensable to cur prosperity, if not to outfox
islence as a nation ; and whatever pretects and sti
mulates American industry, is important to the Ame
rican people. Duties on products of foreign labor
incites to the investment of capital in American in
dustry, and is the true Pennsylvania and American
docume. and no class in our community has stron

Iron in its uses and purposes is essential to all

Pennsylvania to possess iron in the greatest a und

County Treasurer.
Mr. John H. Hill is the Democratic candidate f.. 4
.County Treasurer, and is most admirably calculated
fur the office. He is a young man of strict busi
ness habits and unblemished integrity of character;
and is universally esteemed and respected for his
many estimable qualities. In politics, be is a Jeffer.
sonian Democrat in profession and practice. His
opponent, fellow citizens, is Jacob Huntisinger, Jr.,
whose anxiety is extreme to convince the people of
Schuylkill county that be is a democrat of the ap
peeved stamp. But let us see how his , actions cor
respond with the principles he advocates.
yeu all know, fellow citizens, that' lest winter our
Banks were in a critical situation. They had re.
awned specie payments without being prepared to
Meet all their liabilities in gold and silver. At the
time the Miners' Bank of our Baronet was redeem
ing their issues in specie, Mr. Huntzinger had a
large amount of the notes of that bank on band, be
longing to the county. He presented, through moth
er person , those notes at the counter of the Bank
and received specie for the same. If he merely con
sulted the interests of the county, he might have
been justifiable in so doing ; bat no, fellow citizens,
such was not his object. He sold that specie,
POCKETED THE PREMIUM, and paid the
debts of the county IN PAPER: This is not all.
The'specie was paid in such hands that it was taken
out of the country. J'es, fellow citizens, the specie
which of right belonged to you, which should now
be in circulation in this county--and you all feel the
want of it—is now in foreign country. What
think you, now, of the democracy and patriotism of
Jacob Huntzinger? • ,
Mr Huntzinger has no claims upon the democ
racy of this county ; he is in no need of office, for
he has already amassed sufficient money to surround
himself with all the comforts and even luxuries of
life, wit'iout revising the emoluments of office, He
is rich, fellow citizens, for he lets, no opportunity of
adding to his store escape him. As a clearer, ho has
no equal in the State. He eharce old and young—
rich .and poor—democrat and locofoco. As an ex
ample, we might give the case of that old revolu
tionary soldier, who now resides in Pinegrove town
ship. Mr. Huntzinger, as County Treasurer, should
have paid that old soldier's scanty pension of $ 20 in
gold or silver, eccording to law. The old man did
not want to receive his bard earned money in paper,
and so stated to Mr. Huntzinger. The County
Treasurer was inexorable ; and finally the veteran
tans - obliged to pay him FIFTY CENTS before be
could obtain that specie which was justly his due.
Can you imagine a more paltry or heartless transac
tion! Here was on old man whose hair was frosted
with NINETY ONE winters—whose aged frame was
bent with toil and trouble—whose tottering steps
plainly told that his race' was-nearly run, and that.
with 'the things of this life he must shortly bid adieu
—whose youth had been spent i on the battle field,
fighting for the liberties which we now enjoy—here
was this old man, whoie age and past services should
have entitled him to respect and gratitude, compelled
from his poverty to submit quietly \ while he was

To the Colliers of Schuylkill Conrail
We confidently appeal to you for your suffrages
in favor of Honest John Banks and George N. Ec
kert. They am eminently your friends—for they
are the friends of a Protective Tariff. Weeny a Pro.
tective Tariff. that is, they wish to see your industry
and enterprise protected against the low wages of
Europe.
Most of you know from expernee, that coal can be
mined in Great Britain cheaper than it can Le in this
country ; and notwithstanding a distance of several
thousand miles, it can be brought to New York and
Boston at a less price than we can send it there, ow
ing to the high freights and high tolls on our canals.
In this state of affairs, abat is the wisest course to
pursue? A Nevi Yorker or a Bostonian will not
pay $8 a ton for Schhylkill coal when he can pur
chase the foreign coal at $7 a ton. He cannot stretch
his patriotism at the expense'of his pocket. That be
should not, is bat iittural. Does not the interest of
the country, and more particularly of Pennsylvania,
require, that foreign coal should be excluded from
our markets—that the citizens of the United States
should not depend upon Great Britain for a single
bushel of coal? Peonsylvaipia has every variety of
coal within her borders, and more than sufficient to
supply the whole Union.
Congress has imposed a duty of 6 cents a bushel
on feudal] coal imported into this country It is not
enough. It should be raised to twelve teats a bush
el. Without such a duty, the coal trade of this State
never can be permanently successful. With such a
duty, how changed would be your prospects„ A
greater quantity of Anthracite coal would necessarily
be required—and with a demand for coal, there would
be a demand for miners; and you well know, if la
bor is in demand, high wages consequently
Suppose, for one instant, the present dntv• of 8
cents a bushel on imported foreign coal wae , removed.
Would not your condition be most lamentable! The
only way we , could thcncompete sot cPssfully with the
foreign collier in our market would be, to reduce the
price of wages. You surely ore not in favor of, re
ceiving a bare pittance for your labor—to work from
year's end to year's end for a sum barely sufficient
to keep body and soul together? And yet David R.
Porter and Col. Straub, who now so humbly solicit
your votes, are in favor of the Sub Treasury Law,
a law expressly intended to reduel the high wages of
labor in this country to a level with the low wages
of labor in Europe. Can you consistently with your
own-interests, and the interestri'of your families,sup
port such - men t No! To the - polls, then, on TM's
day next, and deposit your votes in favor of Danis
and ECKEIIT, who are your friends, and ;the advo
cates of HIGH WAGES and HIGH PRICES. '..
