The first Home Leaiue for the protection of American Industry Was `organized in the city of New i York last October. The oljcit and elm of this association is to create a national feeling in telatien to a Tariff', and to establish' a permanent wystel of protection, thereby preventing all those finatiations to which we , are subjected—to gather all the infprinstion that can be obtained,, statistical . end cittierwiev, from every part of the Union—and, if amiasitsry, to form their own tickets for public officers with a view' of establishing the principlN, of the association. For the better to accomplish -.these of it is strongirxecommended s piepie at large, the, urgent necessity of forming :branches .in every state, corinty; and township, throirghmtt the United tstes, for the purpose of eiroperatinkwith each other, and of thereby err!. bling . this country to move in the cause with that concert of action rind aCeumuletion of facts, which are;of such vital impo4ince to its success. Here.. Leagues have been already established in almost every section of the Union; anti the inhabitants of this region hold an interest in the question co eval with that of any other portion of the State. The Schuylkill Coal and Iron region is destined . become not only a great mining, but also a manpfacturing district, and its citizens should -not falter in their endeavors to foster and protect this _ growth. Should Congress, t h, reducing the Te l - riff, deprive us of this protection; energy and en terprise is stance arrested,. and every rational mind can at once 'perceiveirne evil effects which will result to all in consequence. We should like to see then the citizens of this region all:enrolled - as members and co-workers in this nudertaltingLwe would like to see them come together'„and without reference to party, - elan. rank oristatton, lend their influence to ac complish this.great measure. . - Ak : Ova Bouociag.—We cannot help noticing the -ectudttion of our Borongh at the present period, ''end 'we have commenced this article with a desire to 'excite our citizens into something !Ike reform , ~. in this matter.

Would it not-be advisable alio. to form a r oust sosociation, for the purpose of decorating • ou r few public places with trees? Now is the proper season fur transplanting, and busy as we are. we are 'willing to do our share towards it.— We will also undertake to procure trees for the, ride-walks from the city, and furnish them to all ---; who wish them at first cost. Col. George Shoemaker. n o memory of this gentleman, whose death we havit been called upbn to notice this vi.eek, serres, at our hands, a tribute of respect, such as very few can claim. Col. Shoemaker was born within the precincts of the present county long before it was separated fixim Berks. In the year 1810 he moved into the present Coal district, and to his untiring energy and perseverance is to be attributed mainly the birth of the great trade which has so increased here. In the year 1812, be mined a quantity of Coal from a shaft sunk on the tract now knOwn as the Centreville Mines, and tootling it in nine wagons, at a great ex?pense, proceeded with' it to Philadelphia,' for the purpose of endeavoring to introdUce it into no lice. Eve ry one, has heard of the feeling with which this attempt -was received by the citizens of Philadel phia.: After many endeavors, to use it by those who amid sit far overcome their prejudices, (all of :which proved fruitless, on account of the want of experience . in its ignition, as •well as the neees . sary apparatus,) the idea of using such clones for fuel was scouted at, and the advocate of such a project was looked upon ,as a downright imposter. Nothing daunted, hcOever, the Colonel contin ued his exertions, and finally succeeded in giving away the balance, after having disposed of two loads, which scarcely"covered the cost of transpor tation. This being' the firit coal .that had ever been taken to the city with a viewof Introducing it ae an article of traffic, Col. Shoemaker may tru. ly be 8111 to have laid the foundation of that trade which has since become so great a source of wealth to the State. . - .As a kind - And charitable disposition, his wts proverbial ; 'he was generous even'to a fait' t- - -and was belayed by all who knew him, in the relative situation of connection or friend. It was indeed gratifyipg to see the great outpouring of the com munity to pay the List 'Sad du lee to .one, whose interests and feeling's had for, so long a time, been ideutifiel with' the grEwth‘ and prosperity of the Coal Region. His , life has been a checquered one few persons have eiperienced as many mu; %adonis of fortune as t‘ol. shoemaker, pet through out alt the reverses and changes, of both business and: health, he was always known and heartily esteemed es a good citizen, and as the firstpio neer of the 44,„ffiraeile Coal Trade. .

We Ta Ex c lax x a.— We learn from our Wash ington papers, that out of the several Exchequer Plans already submitted to Congress, that of Mr. TallmaSge—generally known as the 'Senate Bill' —has been preferred. The principal features in this bill are, the power it grants to the Exchequer to sell 'bills of exchange, on -the evidence of de posites at other points to meet thent. It is less restricted in the amount of its circulation. It ex- - tends the amount of deposites to fifteen millions, and prOvides for the appointment of three Com missioners. • The committee reporting the above bill obj6ciai to that of Mr Cuttings, because that feature in it which permitted the Exchequer to purchase bills of exchange, would expose the Go vernmSntto great loss and hazard—that it might be uses for political purposes, and that it would lead eventually to fictitious dealings in exchange without any, real basis. It isl rumored that_ the Western member* will oppose this bill, on account of their attach ment to a National Bank. The East and North, however, will act, it is supposed, on a safer and more economical principle, and vote for the Ex chequer in preference to nothing.

Mr. Editor:—lt seems not to be generally known, at least the fact is less public than it should be, that the good people of Port Carbon are enjoying in fall fruition the rich benefits •of their Literary 'lnstitution. The Society, I un derstand, has been in operation some months. It meets regularly every Tuesday evening; and so far as a single opportunity entitles one to judge, I incline to the opinion that its organization is stable, an its character both praise-worthy and 'effective.l I chanced to be present last evening. The question for debate, tasting to its importance and peculiarities, was well calculated to engender high feeling, as well as to foster conflicting and •opposite sentiments; yet notwithstanding the distussion was , conducted throughout with the ut most gitod taste and moderation.

Now, I wish to be informed what is the object of making such distinction.
