pOTTsvi LLE. AY MOH N 114( 4 NOV FADE The Reading Railroad, ,Igh and Low Fares, : Mr. Norris' Puaranlee, &C. Thg Reading Railroad is rapidly advancing to a state 4f completion. The Tnnnel, near Port Clin ton, Sidi be finished in the course of a few days, and tin some day, between the 15th and 25th of Decem ber, ahacomotiye and a train 'pricers will leave Potts ville direct for Philadelphia. . I What an epoch in the history of the Coal Region.'. What changes must shortly take place in the ma es of transacting busi ness between the two placesl What vast benefits must eventuilly accrue Woof beautiful and thriving borough ! The theoretical advantages of this great work will soon be put to a practical test. It is the manifest interest las well as the duty of all who have the control or management of any - great public or private work, to a vail themselves of the lights of experience, and tol pursue such a line of policy, which, while it benefits the community et • large; promotes the interests they are bound to pro tect. Such a -course, ume, will be pursued by the Directors of theea ng Railroad Company ; vOill!, and, I therefore, "we cannot igo too strongly upon • their consideration, the necessity of establishing ...low fares" on their road:- lOn many of the most important railroads in England and on the continent, the principle of "low fares 'r baa been siapted with great pecuniary advantage ; and, in our own coun try, We perceive that the U; ectora of the Western and the Boston and Worcester Railroad, with a keen eye to profit, and the aggnindizement of Boston, have, at the outset, established the same principle. The fare between Pottsville and. Philadelphia, by the railroad, should be placed at as low a sum as $3, which is only a reduction of $1,50 from the present + rates. The fare from New l York to AllianY.7a Jis- - tanca of 160 miles—was 1 innerly $3. This season, competition has reduced it ; to $l. And what has been the consequence ! - Isitelling has more than increased ; in proportion to I le decrease in the rate of rare; and the proprietors of the Hudson River steamboats are realizing mOre money in transport ingqpassengers at a dollar a bead, than when they charged three times that aniount, It is true that theßeading Railroad Couipany will have no rivals 'in the field in the transportation of .passengera—thA the' cannot he forced or oerua'led into this measure, through fear of opposition t or competition; but we feek assured that in their l t iberations they will nut be lintlitenced by such n TIOW and even suicidal views. ' By placing the fare at the mode rate and re muneratinge- unerating rate of $3, min ' citizens and those t con nected mob our place abroml, will be induced to make four trips over the road, iti the course of the year, where they now mike tw i i, which will leave a bal ance of fifty per cent. in f ,vor of o low fare."' Inde pendent of this, the Reading Railroad is the direct channel for the travelling 6f northern Pennsylvania, anti . portions even of the sate of New York, of tiler c.bents, traders, and other% bound for Philadelphia, Baltimore, and the Soutlf. Low fare, the moat di reOt, pleasant, and expeditious route, are or should tre!the inducements offered to secure that travelling. The Depot which the C ompany are now building et Mount Carbon, will bq finished in the course of a few weeks. The building is 80 feet long by 30 in width, and 21 feet high. IThe Engine House is 111 feet in length by 48 feet In width, with three tracts running through it, water fitations, with reservoir, dr.o. +The following o guarantee " from Mr. William Norris, the celebrated minufacturer of locomotives, will be read with great interest. ;It was addressed • to one of the officers of the Company : PUILADELPIIIA, February 26, 1939, i - DEA n St a :—ln teply :to your request for informs . - lion as 'to the ability of my locomotives in their pos session, on the Reading Rail Road, I have the pleas nil, of stating that my chiss B ( the size of those in daily use on the Philadelphia and Baltimore, and the Baltimore and VVasitington, and various-other roads) can, with eversi facility, do the following ditty, per annum.

PORTRAIT P•usTiso.—A few days since, we 'palmed half: houi, or thereawav, in the most :pleasant and , agreeablei manner, in the painting room of Mr. 'Earle, at theiresidence of his brother, on Centre street. The +Waits that were shcoWn to us were admirable ; admirable as likenesses, and adn.it . able as beautiful and flished specimens of painting. We took a hasty glance of some 4 k#o or three land scapes—fancy sketch4s—and was struck with their boldness and vigor lof deaigb, and their apparent . • truth to nature. Wet have not the ; slightest doubt but that the tatentioi M. Earle will secure to him an ample share of public patronage.

OVERTttADINtI AND SpAcuLATioar.—That there has been quite enough of overtreding and specula- tion since the year 183 P, neither Tarty, we believe, pretends to deny ; bui how such a state of things has arisen, it becomes men of all parties to inquire. 7 he majoritt of the commercial and trading classes; as well as the farmers, the mechanics, and the labor ing portion of the community, throughout every city, town and village of this vast republic, know full well, that prier 'to the year 1833, we had a sound, uniform currency, that the difference sif exchange between its furthest gouthern, and the most Eastern, Northern or Western extremity, scarcely varying one - per cent, and business every where prosperous. The age of experiments had not at that time com menced. The let bank system was. however, short- ly afterwards established. New charters were soon thereafter granted for the formation of innumerable banking instituttona_rin every State of the Union, where the piirtizans of the general administration hod control, to fill up the vacuum. caused by the destine 'lion of the U. S. Bank. Little mammoths and.great mammoths were by hundreds brought into being ; and wherever new banks were established, in nine cases out of ten, they were placed under the control of those who were termed members of the adminis tration party ; money. speculation, and overtrading then went hand in hand ; gOvernment officers and government banks then led the woy ; ant the gov. ernment, as well as the bank officers, seemed pleased with their handiwork. Thes. ordets in council "to the banks were, loan aft the money you can ; and the e'ry of the administration party out of doors was, to expand! EXPAND ! ! EXPAND !! ! Well, what has been the consequence of all this?. Why, that every member of the party, who Could, if he had a dollar, borrow one hundred dollars upon•the strength of it, from almost any hank controlled . in the man ner we have before stated. and especially, if he would but st swear allegiance " to the party, in carrying out their suicidal measure's. Hence it was, that so many of the government officers, directly and indirectly. entered into purebases of such immense tracts of the public domain—laid out so many splendid cities and . towns, in nearly every portion and s section of the s. ountry —and hence, we e suppose, wits-toe founding 'of the renowi.ed roan of Van Buren. We might enenurate many other speculatise and financial movements of the followers of the „ illustrious pre -1 deressor, ' but !hese are enough for our purpose. When t•• tip greatest and best" retired from the Presidential et.air. he, in his farewell address, con gratulated Lis /elbow citizens upon the success of his experiments, in improving the currency of the coun try. and that he left tl e people prosperous and hap py." President Van Buren comes into power and • he found the country as President Jackson had left it, prosperous and happy ; but being always partial b-nks and the paper system, arid to F peculn I he appeared to be as unconscious Oil a child of-ten years old. of the evils the administration were in flicting upon the people's prosperity. The specie circular which was at that time in operation, discred iting every batik note in the t ountiy, he had not the independence to annul arid repeal. At length the bubble having reached its greatest tension burst, and the admired system of experimet.ts was at once' placed before our eyes in all its deformity. The pre dictions of the statesmen and the patriots of the conn- 2,000 try were at once realized. The banks, throughout the country, suspended specie payments. 6. Overtrading and speculation " was thereafter the war whoop" of the-administra tion party. The cause of the suspension of specie payments by the banks, was said, by those in power, to be u overtrading and speculation." The instruc tive opinions of that worthy pilot, Henry Clay, who has guided us through many storms and tempests, were unheeded, until the - whirlwind and tornado were upon our t , noble ship "--her decks entirely swept—her rigging, spars, and sails totally carried away—and she herself upon the breakers:' In our own view, there has been overtrading end speculation to an extent that has nearly destroyed our prosperity : and our institutions—hut the greatest overtrading has been in politics, to whit% we shall refer more particularly in a future number. The cruel and disgusting story started by un Eastern paper, that the late President died by poison, is thus effectually put at rest by the Cincinnati Re- publican We are authorised by the Committee who were ap pointed by the cit , zens of Cincinnati to remove the re mains of our lamented President, from Washington to North Bend. to say that the statement in the New Eng. land Review is false, and entirely without foundation, It will be recollected that the Committee arrived in Washington during the heat of summer. Doubts were enterta.ned by some of them, 28 well as by many other of the friends 'of General Harrison, of the propriety of removing the body at that season. several of the moat eminent physicians of Washington, and other scientific gentlemen, were consulted ; and some of them went tb the vault and had the outer casings removed for the pur pose of- examining its condition. The glass case was not broken—the head was not swollen—nor was there any other unnatural appearance presented. There was not the slightest suspicion or intimation of the kind sta. ten . above by a single one of them, nor by any other per son at the time. The result of the examination was that the Committee determined to remove the body which they did, in perfect safety.. Tue Issas.—The following extract from the Grand gulf (Miss.)
