'We - blush for the frail ties of human* nature . whert`We see that men can be ,found , who, to gratify their oven evil propen eider, wilt pot scruple to sacrifice honor, truth, and 'even gratitude for the men' who have been abused, - have to a considerable extent, built 'tip and _supportpd the very paper *hich now to I slander them.

The manufacturers of such fabi.i ricagons can be looked'opon. in no other light than as enemies ,of the region, and the strotiest evidence of this feet is the efforts they have made to separate and divide the interests of the mil clas ses. It is well known that the welfare of the em iddyed is stoney . identified with that of the ern. pldyer—there is consequently the greater necessi ty for harmony of action and feeling between the two—pny attempt to destroy that harmony is an attempt to destroy the harmony of each, and should fie viewed ss reprehensible. in the strorigist - sense of the: term.

Owing to a want of time this week we are unable tt,it an exten ded account of this affair, but will public ro ecedings wittee reiiew next week. The meson was attended•e'fully as their meetings usually are, and laterite organization, speeches were made and resolutiOns passed expressiviof the principles which they in future intend to pursue. The most important feature of the whole meeting was the ground taken in oppositionto a Tariff. Notwith standing that a number of the leaders have occa sionally avowed themselves in favor of Protection, yet they have at last thrown the mask ;wide and stepped out before the People in all the dolor. mity of Free Tradpism. Resolutions expret si - ng their approbation of the votes of Bfesant- NeWhard and Straub against a Tariff were read and adoptetlitnanimonsly, and there now remains no d'cmger any doubt . of , their principles: The. question in this county Will now.be.TarifforAnti-, Tariff—Protection and prosperity, or Free Trader and miscry=a healthy husiness or a lingering. depressed tradeT We do not: see, nor can we tin derstand hcWv the citizens of this regiontan hesi tate at such a time.- Ova Cousts.—During the. session of Com mon Picas of Schuylkill county, during the last week quite an interesting case came . before the I Court, connected with tho proceedings- of the North American Coal Company. The action involved claims to the amount of upwards of 10,- 000 dollars and was . brought. upon a mortgage, held by soma of the early stockholders of thecom ; pany , against the ~ property for money Paring the investigation, strange facts were elic ited which. went to prove the great danger and a buses existing in such monopolies. Among oth er things, it was ascertained that the cost of pro curin; the charier was 5000 dollars, a portion of which, no doubt, found , its'way into the pockets of the members who - voted for it. Upon exami nation of the books it was seen that false entries had been made, evidently with the design of mis ieading the public, and the who case began - to- assume an unfavorable aspect foi the claimants. An adjournment of the trial until last Wednes day was asked, so as to give the parties an op-. portunity of malting amicable arrangement, which being granted a cornproinise was accord 'fixity effected.. , • LADI9.II I .l l llllAll%—llie August number of this. excellent periodical containing the Norms V,atidrilles and ten otbir Choice pieces of, istiow receirer - end ready for distribution. andintle at this office.

We Wive teen informed by creditable .persoris who have examined into this matter, that the charges are untrue, and that, apart from the gen eral and unavoidable grievances attendant upon , all order systems, the Workmen in that district shave been dealt with as I fairly and justly as in . other Sections of the rei,ion. War are authorized biseveral of the persons chargedito deny therie'accusatiops against them, . and to cholla& a thotough investigation into their acts end course of business. This:, they are anxious to have dope, n. 9 they feel that they, have suffered great injustice not only from , publication but also in the-patine estimation. ' It is true that the order system has been in dulged in . there to a greater extent than in any other portion of the county, and this:arises from the fact that many of the operators own stores. , -- Yet we learn Senn those who have examined their respective books, that the charge of asking exhorbitant prices when onkrehave beenpresent, ed is untrue—and that these misrepresentations have been made, in the first instance by men who had overdrawn their acteunts. and being thus in debted, were refused further, credit. We hlio. learn, that in cases, where 'the employers own stores, a very large proportion of the workmen are ..indebtd to them, which is a natural result grow ing; Mit of the order system. ' It may-be well enough to mention that but a very small proportion of the operators in this re gionlire. storekeepers. And we feel assured that if - the system was abandoned altogether, it svorild be to the interest-of all engaged in the trade—no matter how just their dealings may be; they' are always subject to unpleasant imputations. 1 Legislative. Tea APPROPRI4TION AND tAX, BILL.-- his . Bill, which reguires the County-Commissioners of each Co unty to levy an additional tax of . §tie mill on the dollar, for State - purposes, upon Hoe actual !able of all property real and personal, in cluding stocks, holds, mortgages, &c., passed the House by a vote of 42 to 36, and the Senate by 18 to 15, and 'will, it is supposed, receive the sig nature of the Governor. The Senate has chosen Mr. Wm. Hiester, from Lancaster,ris the Speaker, he receiving sixteen votes otitlrthe thiriy-one which were cast. Mr. tipackmaik could have secured his election hy vot ing for himself, but was too modest to do so. The oath - Of office was administered . to Mr. . Iliesyr by Mr. Ewing, when he returned -Banks in a very appropriate manner. After which, at 10 o'clock, P. M., the Legislature adjourned sine die ; in the utmost harmony and good order. HOIIFLIBLE MIIIIDZII.—On Wednesday morn• ing lait, one of the most cold blooded pieces of villianY occurred in Philadelphia, that we have ever beard recounted. A man calling himself MiltonlAlexander, from Kentucky, was seen to enter the Exchange Office of Mr. Noah Lougee, in Third Street above Ohesnut.—A short time af ter heentered a scream - was heard, and he was then observed to •rush out and run down the Street several persona purirued him au& finally captured him. Mr. Lougee was found leaning over the counter, mortally !wounded - in the side with a dirk; he died almosOminedtately after the blow was giver.. Many reations are assigned for the deed, but the general supposition is that the sea .kdrePs plan was to first murder the occupant end tkielh .b the office. IMPOIITALNT § CLAILATION.-Mr; Rosevelt, a member Congress 4:I New York, declared on the floor of, Congress a few , layssince, that if the Tariff Bill was passed into a .at the present session of Congress, that they (the s) would have a majority in the next Congress, an ould repeal if. This is on important; declaration-- t this particular period—and it...behooves the people to took well to the men they choose to repreient them in the National Councils. The friends of the Proteetive System ought to lay-aside all party, feelings and prejudices, and support no candidate -for office, who ivillnotpublicly avow himself in; favor ofa Protective Tariff, and opposed to a re. peal of the Bill, should it pass. Lavrsua►:—The democratic wbigs ,in thie State have,.s - come out of the woods' much bet ter than was 'anticipated. The Senate, which wee heretofore locofor.o, is now whig; and in the 'owe:n:um we have 4,ruajority of eight, mak. mg a majority of nine' on, joint billot. This se cures a whig:U. Sr tldnator. Two of tha mem bers of Congress• elected are demOcratic Whip— and on the Congressibaal"• vote, which- was the true test of the State, ihe:whigs have a decided majority.., The Governor elect, Mr. Mouton,Al moderate poliiician. and d Creole, r'eceived the Whig Creole vote throughout the State, which =cured his election by about 1400 majority. . Tea Borransni Strzsrtotr.—The negotiation on this subject has been brought to a close by the Secretary of State anti Lord 'Ashburion. A great many rumors prevail in relation to the precise manner in. which it is settled, the terms not_ yet. , There, however, appears to be a diiposition evinced on the part of some to 'take ground agsinSt it in advance, for political eflxt, without giving ,the matter doe consideia• Lion. Such conduct is very iminoper to say the feist of it. It is a national question in which all 'our citizens, without regard to party considers. lions, are interested, and ought to be treated as such.

They are good Democrats, friends'ef the People, advocates of the interests of -PennsylVa nia—men for whose election the hard-banded la borer was invoked to the pnlls, that his interests might nut be jeoparded by the speeches and votes of the "aristocratic Federalists, that wish to sell every thing to England." Will oar friend at Harrisburg, and his friends at Washington, read the following Extract of a letter received in Boston, dated "SYDNEY, C. 8., July 7. Toe Sydney Miners are now doing a prosper. ous business. The number .of arrivals at this port foil Coal since Jrnuary 1, is 230-18,000 ehaldrom Coal have &ready been shipped to the United States, West Ulm, ports in the Mediter. anon, and eliewhere. A new pit has lately been opened and Coal is now raised from a vein which; has not hitherto been worked. It is of a superi or kind for manufacturing gas, being very flammable, and entirely free from sulphur. The Company will in a short time be able to furnish any quantity which may be ordered."--Boston Daily Adver. The above is copied from the United Suttee Gazette, and we call the attention of every think ing man, in this district, to the facts contained in it. It is another evidence of 'Ate injuriei which free trade is entailing upon this country ; and is an argument adapted peculiarly to the citizens of this region. The withdrawal of protection from the coal trade while it cheapens the foreign article ind in creases the importation, does not - in any degree asetat or encourage the operatete of Schuylkill county. The demand of the consumer upon the business here is saddenly destroyed, and our sta ple to thrown into market to compete with a for eign orticle„,which the same coup of policy has reduced in plies as to take away all chance of suc cess in the competition. , There is than but one alternative left usi r we must e i t h er -reduce the ex. pence. of mining—Trice of- labor, 456 c:, so as to enable us to undersell the importer; or abandon 'our richly productive colleries to the fate_ which such false policy would consign them- These are simple truths witizh every man can understand. They come home to the reason with the force of connection; and the only question for the com munity now is—will you support men Who pos sess principles antagonist to your best interests, of will you advocate those who are opposed to foreign influence, end who- exert themselves for Atm protection, and defence of domestic industry{. • - Tax trercr.-Genl.

At that time a great deal of ridicule was thrown upon out arguments' and but few persona united with us in the belief. Experience has since proved our reasoning, to be correct; a number of occurrences have takett , place which go to convince that some kinds of bituminous coal are very liable to produce combustion„par ticularly upon long:voyages—and few persons of intelligence can now. be found who will deny the danger..

Writin , g: Thelollowing excellent remarks_,upon the sub • ject, we have clipped from the Columns of the Philadelphia,North American: We heated, con cur with the writer, that the present model of ed iting needs a thorough reforming, and believe that it is an evil, which will av certainly cure itaelf.— The error of policy contained 'in such antyle, forces itself upon as daily , ; and we look fumed' , to the change as a bright - era in. the age of truth. "Mueh of the newspaper writng in this country is peculiar: It is undertoried, and , underbred: i4iMent, declamatory, rhapsodical and deficient in that genuine earneitiksp which is the result of elCiir and high conviction. The typographi cal emblazonment of capitals; large and sinall, fit ling sometimes the pretensions of a wild beast show ; 0 constantly recurring italics, which stint - din wrkiing for what breast-beating and desk thumping do in public !raking; of rows of horror-stricken notes of admiration ;—all these eke out the spasmodic emotion and paralyzing fact which the writer conveys to the readers. Iri , , , choice of ehrasespruvided the subject be a, pc- Mica' opponent, those suited to the graduates of Quarter Sessions are most in favor; .if he is a friend and a leading man, the lyrics of Dr. Watts are fairitmatched in terms of praise : one man is god-hire another elves the country, and his fame cleaves the empyrean dome. - .This is all very silly—it is vulgarly melodramatic—it is a relic of barbarism, and is inconsistent with the character of an age whose tendencies are like our own, to moderation, simplicity, and good sensi. -It fails too in its object. The country would seem always to be at ; war ;. to be on ,the verge of radical change,or entire dissolution if the writing in gawkier' be taken as a specimen of general feeling and action. What still further adds to this mode of addres sing the public mind is, that it is often if not main ly written without any genuine sentiment, but is merely-cold-blooded back-scribbling. An editor sits down, in his Office quietly and comfortably, and composes, arranges, selects, and tricks out distortioin of fact and fancy. because he imagines that:they.will acheive some party aim, for thern m ost::: part one of a transient, trifling c haracter. . , He will chuckle over his take and inflated rout ine, and think he is deceiving' his readers,. while probably-he is only deceiving himself. If he would - adhere to calm, fair statements and argu ments;• set down neither in haste, heat, nor preju dice; if he would gain a character for candor and precisioh by always seeking for and expres sing the truth, he would Sod his reward in ev ery sense the greater. A moral and political es sayist of , his country, who exercises a great in fluence, is Dr. Channing. If his temper - could be infused into the political articles of the' press, it wouid be of the highest service to the morals and manners of the country.—But we are afraid blind habit, personal inclination, and party tram mels, will postpone such a consummation for a long time. That an improved tope of writing for the press must come in time, we believe to be surely promised, amid even the extraordinary depreciation which has taken , place in Bathe' quarters."

Preliminary to, the' proposed questions, 'it may, be-proper to State that, original ly, the public lands belonged jo . the States ;_ that, after the formation of the Federal Governnient, these lambi were ceded,-by the States so which they belonged, to" the Federal Government to pay the Revolotioriaty War debt, and when that was discharged they were, , by the terms of their ses sion,, to revert to the States. The last of that debt having been discharged some-years ago, OUngress a , rdinglv - tad a law, on the 4th of September ig the proceeds of the sales of the thi3 States, in pursuance 'of the ;inal cession. By the official repents made at the late extra session, it appesni that the public !Ands, to which the Indian, title has been 'extinguished, amountedy to 220,000,000 acres, and that to which the ti• tle remains to he extinguished to 950,000,000 a cres of which Pennsylvania, according to bps re presentation in Congress, is entitled to 101,785,- 704 acres; that. is 4,241,071 acres for .the repre sentative.- - -The title of Pennsylvania to her just propoition of the public lands, viz; '101,785,704 acres, is now, by virtue of the original cession and the act of Conceal of the 4th of September last, as perfect end indisputable as your right to seats in the Senate, or the farmer to his.lands for which he holds the patent of the ComMonwealth. The share of Pennsylvania in those lands, at the mini mum price, ($1,25) would_ be worth $127,232,- 130: and, at forty cents per acre, would pay off the whole of her State debt, amounting to up wards of forty millions of 'dollars, which' never can be paid in .any , other way, without crushing ,the people tinder Insupportable burdens. Take away the proceeds of the public lands and Pennsylva nia must become bankrupt, or, what is worse, re-. pudiate. In, this andition of things, would it not be more wise and patriotic In her representatives to endeavor to procure additional means to pay her debts, then to give away, for nothing, the on ly means she hos? The questions, then, to which I request-.an swers'(and they must be given to the tax-paying people by all who voted with you op this'eutject) are these: lat.
