The condequences which always follow the general depression of trade fall always first upon the laborer of the country, and common humanity as well as justice demands that every provision, in accordance with equity, should bo made for his security and safeguard. We noticed in fist week's paper that a meeting tins to he held on Saturday, the 17th, the speak ers and prime movers of which we have more par ticularly adverted to in another column. The avowed object of this meting was 'to take meas ures for procuring the passage of a law making the claims of the laborer a lien upon the land worked. Now we can hardly believe that:any sane man thinks the passage_ of such a law either equitable or possible. It is a plan, which 'fear tied into operation, would effectually shut up the whole trade of the region. The land in this re gion is in nine cases out of ten owned by persons abroad, and who could be induced' to lease property at ,the same time knowing it to be liable for the del to of the lessor To think of such a thing is the height of absurdity, and did we be lieve that the i•riginators of this scheme were se rious in their recommendation, we would. consid er them dr4nright fools, although some of them are members of a profession which should teach them diffenmtly. A law, however, which would subject itself to no such objection as this, and which would mate rially improve the condition of the laborer, might be passed with propriety. such a law we sug gested in the early part of the present year, soon after the explosion of ., two or three concerns in which the whole property was swept away by a t. tatihruents,and the laborer comsequently deprived of his - ' We saw then the necessity of the Legislature doing something to secure the poor man and his family the fruits of his labor. The following was the proposition : PRroTF.CTIoN UT 141301tElt!..—A Bill was intro dosed Mu. the Legislature of this State, by Mr. Eyre, 01 Delaware, last winter, for the purpose of securing to laborers their wages out of the first proceeds of Insolvent ektates. This is a wise and salutary measure which ought to commend itself to the support . ..if every citizen to the community. The laborer toils from day to day—he has neith. er time, and in numerous cases, not even the means of making hiuisellYstelputinted with the circumstances of his employer—end generally iffncrunt of the necessary measures to be adopted ft. secure his datty pittance—he is cut out of his just and hard earned does, Ohl his family stab. jested to want and misery. Decent events have convinced us more titan ever 9f the net.essity of such a law ; wr hood therefurd it may be speedily passed by our Legislature. Such a law 'would be right and joct, and it seems that the framers of the Bankrupt law thought so when when they attached to it the benevolent exception that,i , any person who shall have performed any labor as an operative in the service of any bAkrupt shall be er.titled to receive the bill amount f the wages duo to him for such .labor, not exceeuina-twenty-five dollari,7 with a , prOilsion that such labor must have been furn ished within sit months of,ffie time of the bank ruptcy. Now as the Locofocos in Congress have already shown their determinat , on to repeal the. Bankrupt Law, it is necessary that some-meas ure should be taken for procuring the action of State legislation upon the subject. This-law would remedy one evil to which the laborer is iubjected, but the relief for his other difficulties must come from 'another source. The present suffering and distress among the poor of the country tins been the:result of gengml causes originating ,with the General - Government at There lies the 'true diecase, and there mast the remedy be applied je., effectual cure is needed.

This is the true doctrine. It was executive dictation and u surpation, which commenced in 1832, and which has.been continued up to the present time, that bas cursed the country with nearly all the 'evils under which is now suffering—and nothing but a strong'rebuke on the-itirt of Congress and the. people, to the exercise of the one manpower, and the assertion of their right to legislate for the country, will , ever restiiie it again to a state of prosperity. io one ; sell been 4 and work- Petitions are in circulation in Philadelphia a gainst the repeal of-the Bankrupt Law.

They have at list thrown aside the mask, snifstand before the people in all the naked def i ormity , bf their -evil -intentions. It will be-seen by reference to the proceedings, that they passed a resolution, approving end rec ommending the Van Buren Sub Treasury scheme, a measure which has received the seal of condem nation from the •citizens of the United States, through- the largest majority by which a president has ever yet been defeated. The practical effect of this measure, is too . well known to nectl•nrgo ment. Every man can see in the present state of the country, the disastrous results which would follow the passage of such a law. We are already experiencing the evils which always must attend a reduction of the currency, and a'! agree, that such, if necessity, is the practical effect of this measure: , Its main object is to defeat this very tariff of protection, that they have f ee insidiously acknowledged as beneficial to the country. This is effected by reducing the currency to o specie basis—and consequently the Wages of labour down to European rates, which, as they say, will enable us to compete with other countries, without the necessity of slain Thus do these Men, in the same breath, that thus avow sympathy and regard for the ,working • man, profess , themselves the friends of a course which wilt reduce his hard ear ned wages to one third of the present rates.

JACOB KREBS was ap pointed President; THOMAS MORIUS, Esq,, GEO. KUTZ, :"THAN'HZ N. PALSIKR, and JOHN KIISMEHLING, Vice Presidents; and D. W. Hyde and M. A.'Dooley, Secretaries. 'The meeting having been thus organized, a Committee of ten persons was appointed to draft resolutions expressive of the sense of this meet ing, Viz: Peter F. Ludwig, N J. Mills ' Peter Kum, A. Daimon, Benjamin Lantz.:r, Betija min Snyder, Jacob Seitzinger, Samuel llunizing er,.John Stees, and IYilhum Stitzer, who. atter retiring a short time, reported a Pream'ale and Resolutions,. which were discussed eeperately, and the Resolutions adopted ; but the Preamble, being in favor of the lion. James Buchanan, as a Pennsylvania candidate tbr the Presidency, was not erred to; on motion of R. M. Palmer the following substitute was adopted : Whereas, since the existence of .the oldest of us, we never experienced a derangement like the present in our monetary affairs; and whereas, at the advent of "Tippecanoe and Tyler too," we were promised better times, and a reform in the government that was to fill the land a ith milk and honey, and these promises have proved ns delusive as the optical illusions of a scene.nhifler in jugglery, it is time to set about correcting the evils that have befallen us, and to restore the as cendancy of the good old Democratic Republi. can party, under whose influences we have been prosperous and happy, from the palmy days of Jefferson, Madison, Monroe and Jacksou, down to the gloom of the recent Federal triumph : And whereas, such times and such a crisis demand from•the DEmneracy of the whole country " a u nion for the sake of the Uniun,"—a st.crifice of men on the altar of principle—Therefore . Resolved, That the Democracy of Schuylkill county pledges its faith , to the nominee of a Dern ocratic National Convention, let him be Buchaii. un, Johnson, Van Buren, Cass, or aay other of the brilliant array of Democratic aspirants upon whom the choice may tall. Resolved, That Charles ,Frailey, Esq., be our Representative Delegate, to represent Schuylkill county in the Bth of January Convention at Har risburg, with instructions not to etimpromit the thlmocracy of this county in favor of any indi. vidual for the Presidency, but to abide the choice of a National Convention. Resolved, That we will concur in the nomina. lion ofn t`endtorial Delegate which the Democ. racy of Columbia county may make to represect our Senatorial district in said Convention. Resolved, That our Senate'. and RepreSenta. live in the Slate Legislature be, and they are hereby instructed to support and vote for the re election of the lion. James Buchanan to the Se nate of the United States. On motion of Mr. A. Dolirman. Resolved, That we are opposed to President Tyler's " Exchequer " scheme, believing it to be only a National Hank, by another name, and that experience has renewed the assurance we have long entertained of the wisdom and efficacy of Mr. Van Buren's Sob-Treasury plan, for the safe-keeping and disbursement of the public mu ney. • On motion of 2.M. Palmer, Resolved, That we have 'undiminished confi dence in the integrity' and patriotism of David R.

Resolved, That the proceedings nOliis meet ing be signed by the Officers, and ritiblislied in the Democratic papers of the county. On motion, adjourned.

The whole amount of mail trinsportation for the year ending Juno 30th, .1841, was 34,996,- 525 mike, at a contract cost of $3,159,375 ; tho whole amount of transportation for the year end- ing June 3Uth, 1842, was 34,835,931 miles, at e contract cast of $3,087398. The amount of expenditure of the Department, for the year ending June, 1842, was estimated in the Report of December last, at $4.490,000. The revenue to be derived from postage, &c. in the same report, was estimated at $1,380,000 ; the a mount estimated for the expentiture did not in clude the sums duo by the Department prior to the 31st March, 1841: thus exhioi•ing a prolis hie liability of $llO.OOO beyond its estimated cur rent receipts of that year. The gross expenditures of the Department for the year ending 30th June, 1842, so far as they have been audited and paid, are $1,627,716 62 exceeding the amount.derived from postage, du ring the same year, $81,470 49. The amount of expenditure for the current fis cal year, for the services of this Department, may be stated by way of estimate, in round numbers, at $4,390,000. 5 This estimate does not include the probable ex pence of the nevv'routes established by Congress at the last session, none of which have yet been put in operation. The prof, ible cost of these routes per year will be $130,000, making the whole es tun tied expense of $4,520,090. The cost of railroad transportation, for the last year, stands at $432,568 ; the whole length of mail road in the United Stiles is 149,732 miles, costing $3,087 96.

THE MUTINY •Nll Tab REPEAL OVTIIt BARK.. nurr Oldschool writes from Wash ington, to the editor of 'the U. S. Gazette, es fol lows ;—The chief topic of conversation to-day, has been, the mutiny on hoard the Somers, sod the execution of Midshipmen Spencer. It seems to be admitted that the punishment was summary and awful, bat it is also conceded that the case was one that justified almost any extremity. Sympathy is expressed for the parents, and espe cially fur the unhappy mother; but no censure is, as yet, as far as I can learn, cast upon Captain McKenzie. .Some think Mr. Spencer, the father, will now retire from public life; °there come to a different conclusion. Time will tell. I would advise the friends of the Bankrupt L3W O to loose no time in taking such steps as they de.' sign to take, to prevent its repeal, though I do not believe they can save it. There is nothing stable in legislation in this country, nor can there be until the people show more willingness to sustain those who advocate their interests, and until they show more stability themselves. *, THE CINCINNATI OUTRAGE.--.Thp Conurtit. tee appointed by the Pastor of the Wesley Chap el in Cincinnati, to investigate•the charge, against several members of the Church of treittng with unnatural cruelty an aged mother, have made a report, which is officially publithed in the Citron-- lel°.
