JOHN 2-4 mo The following is an extract from the speech of Titomas F. Miasmata. of Kentucky, on. the Ta riff. It deserves to be read by every American. o Oh ! exclaimed Mr. M., if I should live to see the day when all things that are needed for hu man use and comfort shall be produced and bought and said ,within these United States—when all our mines shall be opened, all our rich mountains explored and covered with sheep walks for the use of our own manufacturing, establishments—when every American citizen, let him eat and wear, and consume, and use whatever he desires, lo make him happy, shall find it all here—here, upon our own soil, v, itLin our own boundary! Then, though the wrath of God should be la, loose on the nations of the old world—though Europe shouldireel and tremble beneath its blows,. and Britain's fast anchored isle should go down, and sink in the mighty deep, and we remain so un moved, so self-supplied, as nut to feel the loss— this, this would be, to me the very realization of American independence and prosperity. But this country is not and never'can be truly independent, so long as our own labor and our own capital are left unpreitected.,l Never': so long as it is the dar ling object of our own Government to crush the industiy and dash down all the enterptize of those it should protect and foster. If to hold that, is advocating a protective ta lifr—l can't help it: no,-I can't help, it. • If fem a sinner, lam at least a bold sinner. If to feel the glow of one common nation in my bosom— if to' hold that the roan who resides at the extreme North is as much my brother as the cotton planter; of Georgia—if this is hostility to the South, then, I am her enemy. A. HENDERSON Elul, as to Southern rights., let no man lay, his hands upon them. 14 observation in life has taught me to believe that in all doinestic quarrels there ate usually faults on both sides. And I will say to my Northern friend!, why be eternally striking . at that sore which, God knows,l is sore enough withOUt blows from you?~ ! Why keep up this eternal turmol and excitemen6bout abolition? Why this constant determination tot disturb and meddle with us in our domestio ,terns? I can conceive of no other or better red-i son for it than the man gave for testing his wife! because I have been able to do it." It weal dangerous, he knew, to attempt to prophecy, but this he would venture to predict: :f ever this gorgasus, ibis temple to human freedom, should be pulled down or consumed, this was the 'thil4, that would do it. 1 .4 When Americans spoke • of dissolving the Union, they spoke of what they should nott-the I idea was unnameable. The Greek legislator, gav l e it as a 'reason for providing no punishment for parricide, that such a crime oughtnever la be mentioned." - Tnis is the voice of a tratriot—a voice, we ar sorry Co :say,' now seldom beard in its ; pOntyi .

I • To the 4dil or of the...Miners' Jouinal— Deai Sir—By the proceedings of the Coal arid Iron Mastfirs of -this vicinity,: published in the Richmond papers of this date,' you will per ceive that we have a put the ball in motion," on the subject of a modification of the,present Tariff as it, effects the Domestic Coal and Iron Trade. It is a matter of congratulation that there should be in any liortion of our union -a community of feeling, as there unquestionably is a community of interest, in these two imp r ortant branches of do ,Inestic industry, and it will he matter of surprise, when the subject comes to be properly under stood, if there shall not result a close bond of fel lowship between them. Standing as they do, far-above all ollie:rs in a national point of view intimately connected as they are in usefulness, and indispensably necessray as a means of domes tic comfort and of public defence—and immediately dependent as they are on each ether for their existence, it is passing strange, that there should exist in any portion of the country, a supposed conflict of _interest. That the importance of either, should ever for a moment hive been over looked in our national Legislature,land that our Government should have hazarded their very ex istence, by an act of grave and deliberate legisla tion, furnishes one of the most (arckong the very many) humiliating evidences of Ainerican poll, cy. With a dark and lowering cloud hanging over our foreign relations, it is a Matter of no very flattering reflection, that we are compelled to acknowledge our dependence for the present, on a nation which may in a few months become a declared enemy, for the very means of our defence. Adam Smith has recorded the opirdeth, that Eng land owes her invincibility and impregnability to her immense stores of Coal and Iron, and with all his vaunted free trade principles, it is very questionable if--he would not have given them to the winds, before he would have sacrificed the domestic Coal and Iron Trade_ of Great Britain to this false idolatry. This movement of our Iron mistnia,---them selves the heaviest consumers of coal, and inter= ested above all others in securing ari ample.sup. ply at the cheapest cost, furnishes at the same time a noble example, and a well merited rebuke to the host of political croakers, who are ever on the watch, to denounce any propo4ition for the encouragement sffour own domesticiproductions, as a-tax on the consumers. When it can be proved that the consumers of our cotton fabrics are now paying lan increased price for them in consequence of the protective tariffs of 1824 and '2B, it will be tie enough to admit that the consumer of Iron and Coal must necessarily pay five or ten years hence, an in creased pricl far those articles, if 4 system of present protection be adopted. . There can be no proposition, r e sting on the future for absolute proof, more plainly inferrable from past experience, than that Anterican Coal' and American Iron, under an adequate protection, can in any term of five or ten years , be furnished to the consumer at lower prices thari the foreign article can be procured, under the present merely revenue tariff. The most that can he conceded (and even this is matter of much doubt) is, that ; no diminution in the preserit price would be real. ized for the first year or two, which Might be quiredi to put these branches of home industry i into active and full operation. , This once ac complished, the untiring spirit of competition among on; own enterprising citizens, would se cure a,constant anff ample supply at the lowest remunerating price—and who can doubt that With the materials and the labor both in supera bundance at home, we can produce at lower prices than we can be furnished by foreign opera tors? We ask no bounty to build up these in terests—all that we do ask is, that we shall be se cured in the privilege of furnishing our fellow citizens as cheaply as they cnn purchase from abroad, and we are content to rest for our en couragement, in the active and regular demand which will be thus insured for our products. It is much to be deplored that, after all our national boast, there is so little- true American feeling i in the Councils of our country, that all our great and permanent domestic interests should be offered up not simply with resignation; but with even a spirit of enthusiasm, to the favorite political dogma of particular sections. The an cient Dominion, (from whom indeed, the sceptre has been wrenched, as a fruit of this infatuation) our own beloved Virginia, has been the first most zealous, and most devoted in her idolatry. And how magnificent ,has been the sacrifice I Pos- ' sesing More abundantly; than any other State whose waters empty into the Atlantic ocean, the richest of all resources—the raw material for al most all the uses of necessity, of comfort and de fence.-LSalt, iron, copper coal, with Water pow er in superabundance, and almost idlers encngh to bing these minerals into fall dovelopement and active operation—we find her strivinfl year after year to increase the barrier to such develope ment, and pouring into the lap of foreign nations all the surplus of her fertile soil, to furnish wants which might le met at home. The _very farmer who will withdraw from - the labor in his field an I active and _efficient hand; and lose his services for three years, that he may return to him a blacksmith or a wheelwright, and thus 'en able-hinn to here his ithplementa made cheaper at home than abroad, arid dan- see his economy in this, !scouts the idea that by paying a trifle more for a few years for the - necessaries -of his household, that he may ever after- procure them cheaper, j he is consulting' the same principle , of economy? It is a heresy in his.political, ,churiA, and thatlis a sufficient . answer to all 'the argu- naents that can he adduced on the subject., Therm are indications abroad ; howeVer, ,that even in Virginia, this fifth is fast falling from the eyes of the people, and I trust the day is not.dis tant; when they shall, be enabled to see clearly their true,interest . on this subject. , • , What is here said.of 'Coal and Iron holds true' of a multittule of other aiticles, - which we are ea-: pable of producing at home, and I hate :singled these out merely because their Protectionhappen the'subjeati whici(elielted,theivenAere. &alone:II Din equally zealous in behalf of a General systepa'of encourageinent of home iadus4 try as the only efficient means of relieviiti the country heasy , and constantly intrinsing load of foreign , idebt;;=-cifeStablishir:q tfie innsper ity and improving the indristri, and consequent. ly'the of the' peeple, arid of rendering nei a truly . great and - independent nation.: We may amuse ourselves, with the precinct nf 121 _ PO TS SATURDAY _MORNI7G: JANUARY 22,"1842. ffE which thia, that or the "othef., .fiaeid iicheme may promise; bit any such scheme,,must - prove a mere temiiorai l y — shift; :unless it W I attended by its in. ,dispensable hand maid-4 protective tariff But .

Thopglt sincerely friendly Ito a'general system, tending to the protection of domestic industry in all its branches, it does seem to me, that, even should our National Legislature frown upon any such geneMl scheme, it is matter of serious re flection, whether a stern necessity, growing out of the ihreatening aspect of our relations with England,- does not demand that such articles as are indispensable to the defence of the country, should be Selected from the general list, and made at once the subject of an adequate protection and encouragement: • A rarest' TO IRONS INDUSTRY. Meeting of the Coal and lireniWasters. ' At a meeting of the Colliers and Iron masters dt this vicinity, and others interested tit the do. mestic Coal and Iron trade, held at the Colum bian Hotel; in Richmond, on Saturday evening, the Bth of January,' 1842 ' Abraham ffl. Wooldridge, Esq., was called to the Chair, old Francis 13. Deane was appointed Secretary. • On motion of Mr. John J, Werth, the follow. hag- preamable and resolutions werh adopted : The individuals composing this Meeting; view with deep concern the langnishing„` condition of the domestic Iron and Coal "!;'rode; and look with fearful apprehension on dor consummation of the presentjTariff Law, ( fainiliarly known as the Compromising Act,) us threatening the cr.. tire destriietion of those interests. Entering, as these articles ldo, into all the pur poses of comfort and of domestic economy • and eminently important as th ey are tn the defences of the country, it seems to us that they present a peculiarly strong claim triton, the notice and fo.s. tering care uf the Federal GavernMent.• iVhat. ever may be the general pultcy 9f the Govern. men% as regards the numerous branches of du. mestic industry, it is not unreasonable to ask of that Government, to take intri serious consi& , .ra. lion, whether the encouagem mi of the produc. _lion of the.te articles, inCiskiniable as they are eiiireeded by all to be, to thel defence of its own Territory rin d the Integrity 'of its own institu. Lions, does ii'at-psent in the present unsettled condition of our foreign relation, a case of abstu lute necessity, which will Justify a departure from any general system whatever. In consid. eration of these premises, be it therefore. Ist. Resolved, That a ComMittee of six be ap-_, pointed to prepare a memorial to the present Congress, on behalf of the Domestic Coal and Iron Trade, setting forth the - importance of those interests—!the extent of their present depression —the causes which have contributed to that de. pression, and asking for such !modification of the present Tariff as will secure ti reasonable protec. iron of thoke important branches of domestic in terest.

And Hoiden Rhodes, A, S. Wooldridge, 'Fran cis B. Deane, Sr., Jesse Snead, R. B. Hasail, and John Werth, were appointed on that com mittee. • On motion of J. R.

On motion of Thomas M. Rondelph, .

DEANE, Ju;c, , Secretary I -- HARRISON'S MOTHill.—The' 0' I memury of the mother of Washington is highlo and justly hon ored for the influence ofher instructions in form ing the character of her Ilium ious son. The mother of Harrison is added to be constellation of those who have " done virt'uo sly." Whatever is the most excellent in the haracter of dial Man, whom millions of freemen had elevated to the highest station of honor kno jen on earth, was planted by the gentlo hand of a mother, and that illustrious character is the ever fresh memorial of a mother's piety and prayers. This remark is beautifully illustrated by the 'following anec dote related by - Prof. Goddard in his address to the Council and citizens of Plevidence, on the death of Harrison : His journey from Ohio to Washington ( to enter upon the duties of his of. Tice) will not soon be forgotteri. - Without the pomp ofa triumph, it had more than the _honors of a triumph: At the way side and at the place of concourse—in city or hamlet—on mountain or in valley- r rhe, people, without distinction of age, eel, color or condition, pressed upon him, with-their 'hearts in their hands, to bid him. wel come.

II EPORT Of the President and Managers of the Schuyl kill Navigation Company, to Me Stockludders. January 3, 1842. The commencement of a new year, agreeably to long-established custom, ealls upon the Presi dent and Managers, to furnish statements of their proceedings and transaction, during the ye ir which has just closed. In the performance of this duty, they have much pleasure in stating, tha although the time of opening the works, for the regular business operatjons, was unavoidably pro tracted last spring, .severul weeks later than usu al, by circumstances beyond their control, yet notwithstanding the loss of time, the aggregate trade of the year, has been greater than any that preceded it. On the Bth OfJanuary, 1841, a few days after the last annual meeting-, an ice freshet occurred upon the river Schuylkill, of great severity, which caused unusual heavy thunages, to many portions of the company's works, particularly in the mountaneous section, above Reading. Measures were immediately taken to repair the damages thus sustained; and men were employ ed simultaneously, at all the different points in, jured, in order that the whole should be complet ed, with as little delay as, possible; and although every practicable exertion was made, yet from . the unusual severity of the season, considerable delay unavoidably ensued ; and it was not until the middle of May, that all was in readiness to open the works throughout, for the trade. The whole expense of the repairs, amounted to $80,565 22, which though large, falls short of, the amount reserved, from the preceding year's business ; and it is with much pleasure, we add; that with the exception of two or three points, not yet entirely completed, the whole line of im provements was never in better order than at pre sent. Conclusive evidence of which, is fUrnish ed by the fact, that the business heretofore usual ly transacted in eight months, (from the first of April to the first of December,) has been accom plished this year, in about six weeks less time ; during which comparatively short season, there has been brought to market, 584,692 tons of coal, exclusive of other articles ; being a larger quanti ty by 61,540 tons, than was ever before trans ported upon the company's improvements in one year. The Catfith. dim, above Norristown, which re mained unfinished at the time of making the last annual report, has since been completed, in the most permanent manner. , By this improvement, two old darns have.been superseded, the necessity of boats twice crossing the river as heretofore, has been obviated, and n continuous line of towing path has been formed. Considerable progress has been made in re moving rocks and other obstructions, from the boat channel, between Manayunk and Fairmount, in a hich, there yet remains several places to be completed, so as to. give (when finished) five' feet depth of water throughout that pool: Many other valuable alterations 'and improVe ments have been accomplished, during the past year, for the purpose of 'facilitating the trade. The payments for these various objects have swelled the expenditures of the year, much be yond the usual. amount, as may be observed by comparing the statement herewith presented, with those of preceding years. Loans from individuals and companies, amount ing to $402,756 03 fell due on the first instant; and it will be recollected, that at the last annual meeting of the stockholders, in January, 1841, an ordinance was passed, :authorising the Presi dent and Managere, to provide for this event, by renewing and extending the loan, or obtaining by a new one, the money necessary to make the payment.. Accordingly, having,agrced with the commissioners of the Girard Trust, for the exten sion of the part originally subscribed by the late Stephen 'Girard, and since appropriated by' the city authorities' for the Delaware avenue fund, they set aptutfrom the income of the year's busi ness, a suns sufficient for the payment of the resi due, and though net due till the first instant, holders were invited to receive in anticipation, bra, public, notice dated the second day-of De-, cember,froza iviiich date to the first' inst., there have been, paid. $52,727 7 14 4 and . theie yet , re mains the further sum of $84,178 32 ready to be paid when calledfor, making-a total of $136,906 In addition to which there has been extinguish ed and, cancelled, trsurn sixty-six thousand dollars, being the amount of certificates, issued under authority of the stockholders, and held, by the'eompany, in place'of that amount previously taken friths the toll Curd, and applied to new Per manent...works.' - . • Thus, notwithstanding - the severe pressure of tirk *064 and, the - extraordinary expenditures 'which to - repakr the ciainage &iris by iiii'freihet,',iitein, hia been a redaction of the deli - of the - noiriganY awing iiie'risiye4r to the amount of fa 2 906 03 4141(1443428 89, an .amount,eFperiedfor new t work; ,damages, And real estate, =dun/ together the epm total of 45248,398 92 _ cents paid from the earnings oethi y ear, eqital to about •15 per• cent "un the capital stock, in addition to the ordinary current expen ses and interest. Which amount thus supplied, from the profits of the year, for the payment of permanent loans, r&C. should have been provided for, either by the sale of stock vr-loans, as the whole amount actually belongs to the original cost of the company's works; but for the present, has been 'entered in their books as rescreedprofits, to be applied hereafter, in such manner as may be considered most beneficial to the interest of. the company. - The appropriation 6f - so la4e a portion of the ye.tr's income, to the extraordinary expenditures, and paynient of loans, have kept down the divi dends to a rate fa; below what the profits would othenvise have warranted ; but as it acruarly creeks the value of the stock, and secures. the final stability, and consequently the credit of the company] the Board of Managers have not enter tained a doubt, that it would meet the approba tion of the stockholders. Of the loans heretofore authorised by the stock holders for new. -work exclusively, them remains undisposed of, the sum of $13,354 ; and the au thority given by them, at their meeting in Janu ary last, for renewing or paying off loans, due as before•mehtioned, on the first inst., has been ar ranged to the extent of $265,840, (being the re newal at six per cent. per annum of the sum due to the city); and there remains on hand of that authority, $184,600. It is not Contemplated at present, nor is it be lieved, that it will be necessary, to make use of these balances of authority to borrow. • On the ;first of December of the present .i-ear, there will fall due, a further sum of $300,000, borrowed under an authority from the stockhold ers, for new iv:vork. In order to make provision for the fulfilinent of the company's engagements the board have prepared, and herewith submit an ordinance fOr the consideration of the stockhold ers, authoriSing them to renew the said loan, or to make a nexv une. This authority.will of course be used only to the extent that may benececessa ry or seem expedient. During the past summer but little rein fell in the mountancous section of the state, through which the company's works pass, from July to the middle of November. The streams conse quently became unusually dry ; and at therefore nBl3 necessary to resort earlier than common, to the reservoirs on Tumbling Run, for the puts pose of supplying the deficiency of water required to keep up the trade, embracing about fifty load ed boats descending through the locks and Canals daily, and an equal number ascending. These reservoirs were heretofore believed to be amply capacious to contain a sufficient quantity of water to meet such an occurrence, , and no doubt would have proved so ; but during the win ter of 1840-41, one of the iron rods (about sixty feet long) affixed to the valves of the iron pipes, by which the water is let out to supply the works, became loosened from the frame to which it was fastened, so that the rake could_iet be perfectly closed. To readjust and seem° it, while the wa ter remained in the reservoir. was impracticable, and about ono half the contents of that reservoir leaked out through the opening, before the dry season commenced: The result was a short sup- ply for about two weeks, during the latter part of the season. The rod has been substantially adjusted; and means have been taken to raise the embankment of the upper reservoir, three feet in heighth, 171 bich will increase its capacity five millions of cubic fiet, equal to five hundred MIAs full. This reservoir was originally calculated for several feet , greater heighth, than it is now order ed to be raised. A tract o f land several - miles lower down the river, on a tributary stream, amply sufficent for a Large reservoir, was purchased (or several years past, to he improved for that purpose. whenever it should be considered - necessary.
