The Whig members of the Legislature of Pennsyl
mail, having remit:amended a State Convention of
the friends of Henry Clair, to be held at Harrisburg,
on the 22d of February next.—Nonce is hereby giv
en, that a meeting of the DemocrjtM Whigs of
Sett:ylkill County, will be held at Daniel Hill's Font
aine Holm, in Pottsville, on Saturday evening, the
28th inst., at 7 o'clock, for the purpose of appointing,
delegates4o represent Schuylkill county in said Con
vention
January 21, 1842.
FO:tartlle—its present condition and fa. .
lure prospects. ,
Much noise has been made, and many misrep
resentations have gone abroad in relation to the
situation of the Schuylkill County Coal Region.
It has been bruited about that the opetstives.of
this district, are in s. starving condition, in cense.
quence of the grievous oppressions practised up.
on them by their employers ; and one or two partic
ular instances of wrong done have been argued from
generally to prove the nets of the whole. With
out referring to the polluted source from whence
theta slanders have emanated, we would in the
first place reinarit—that the . workingmen-of
Schuylkill county have been as well paid and are
in as prosperous a condition as those of any oth...
er district in the State. Few oppressions have been.
'practised upon them, and the evils they had to
encounter were only. the general effects, resulting•
from a universal depression of trade. As a proof
of these assertions we give below a succinct,.,a
true statement which will go farther to sustain :
our position than,any argument we could, pen.
The number of buildings which Wive-
„been e
rected in Pottsville from the let of Jabuiry,lB42,
to the Ist of . January,
.1843, are in a ll , sevcrity
two—as follews: .
Six Brick
„bnildings. • ,
Six Stone ' do.
Forty-nine Prime Howes „
Eleven other Frame buildings for otlicee.Acc.
Decides, 14 houses in Mount Carbon, and 8 on
the butders of the Borough. 'This . an.otints to more
than double the nun:her of buildings• which have
been erected in ibis Borough. in any. ode •
year for
the last five years,and out of the whole number not
more than six were put up by the business men of
the region—the balance being owned and occupied
by the mechanics, workingmen, laborers, &c. of
the district. Judging from the -cumber of lots
sold, we feel confident that quite is many build
ings will be put up the present year; aithe last. .
We give this to show that the operatives of'
Schuylkill county are by no means so destitute
as they are represented to be, and as a further
proof; we Would instance the fact, that out of a
population of about 8000, three-fourths of whom
are workingmen, Only about. 80 persons in this
district, and forty-six in the Mmeniville district,
have applied 'to the al Societies for the Relief of
,the Poor " for assistance,—arid a large portion of
these were widows, and other females left desti
tute. This is the more extraordinary, , from the
fact, that it is well known that three-fourths of
our miners and laborers have been out of employ
ment since the beginningo of December last.
Notwithstanding all these facts, which might
have been known to all who chose to enquire, a „
meeting was called at the Exchange Hotel, a few
weeks since,, by a few loafing idlers and hungry
politicians of our .borough ; and there, in a side
room of the tavern, with not a single,laborer pres
ent, an address was concocted and sent forth con
taining slanderous charges against the operators,
along with exaggerated accounts of suffering on
the palter the workingmen.
We do not charge the miners and laborers of
Schuylkill county with these misrepresentations;
but we do warn them against, becoming the nil-,
ling dupes of is set cf men who, with well feign
ed sympathy, whine over their landed evils; so
as the better to seenre that ascendancy over them
which they vainly hope to gain. -

gjs In another column will be found rrcoiniti4-
nication in relation to the affairs of the Mecharit
ics':Association in this place. We are gratified.
to observe the laudable spirit manifested by thei
Members of this enCiety, and would urge them, ' 1
by every argument itt our power; to continue prn
sing onward in.Alse same path. Nothing tends .
to correct taste, 'elevate`the mind, and add digni. ,
ty and character to the man, so much aseonstarit'i
care and attention to pursuits of this nature. May
they go on and prosper !
ai•We would call •particular attention'.-

we congratulate our friends in the region, sndpar•:

that the tolls for the.presentyear shal-remain the
same as the last. '

have bad no soperiori. The first is Irani Baron Ca

became eogenerel in France;ait it is st present:
" We most confess that it is very difficult, in
the' experiments which have for their object t he
action that the nervous system of two different
individuall'ean exercise one upon the'lither, to
distinguish the effect of the' imagination of' the
individual upon 'whom the experiment is tried,
keit the physical results produced by the person
who acts upon him.
..The effects, however, ob.
tairied on persons ignqrant of , the agency, arid
open individuals whoni the operation itself has
deprived of conseiousness, and those which ani.
loafs present do not permit: us to doubt that the
proximity of two unmated bodies, in certainpo.
sitions. combined with certain movements, have
a real effect. independently *fat:participation of

established between their nervous systems."
pr. J. C. PRITCHARD. in his article on Aqi.
mil Magnetism, in the Cyclopredia of Medicine,
by' whom this ill quoted, says: "Here we find
Baran Ceuta giving a full assent to the funda—
mental doctrine of the Ariimal Megnetists." • M.
Di LA Puce, in his work entitled " Thermic An.
alytigoe, - duv Calcul des Prebabifiltes,"
"The singular phenomena which result from the_

of the ascending trade, as appended to the Navi

the quantity , of vegetables - aktne, brought in

ilfclCsatr was glad That the Elea ointed
was to be one of principle between- the two-par
ties, and that the successful party would be
obligatione, which it could not disregard, to carry
out their distinctive views. "
Thus it will be plainly seen by those who
choose to think, that the Locoroco party pledgee
itself to destroy all paper currency and supply
the revenue, arising from a Protective Tariff.by di
rect taxation, at the same time acknowledging
their coneurrencaami sympathy-with rioters - and
their acts.
Mr. Pickens of Sonth Carolina, also, in answer
to Mr. Cnshing,:spoke of the divisions alluded to
in the ranks of 'the democratic party,' and said,
"He could assure gentlemen , there was and
would he no division.•--They would all rally a-
round and under one banner—the broad banner
of FREE TRADE. That biltrier be had always
supported and would continue to support—under
that banner the democratic party must, and
SHALL•be marshaled." • •
Let the people bear in mind that this locofoco
party which boasts of containing the democracy
of the : country, and makes a gloat pnffing-forth
of sympathy for the working chases, has now
avowed its determination to deprive them of pro
tection, and by reducing their wages would bring
them down to , a level with the suffering laborer
of Europe, placing them at the same time under
a heavy burden of taxation. Such is locofoco
sympathy and•thus will it be pot in.practice. ,

will be seen that there has been a steady, increase
in the amount of. Coal mined and eon

Burned, with the eat:optima of two or three seas

shipment in - the Schuylkill Regicin in 1825, five
years later than the4tp_high,,, there has. been 1,-

In 1825 the amount of Coal mined in the
Schuylkill Region was only 5,306 tone. 'ln 1830
it had increased to 89.984 tons; in 1835, t 0325.-
685 tone; and in 1842, to 540.890 tons. At the
saame ratio of increase, there will be mined in 1845.
over one million of tone; and in 1850, 1,750;000
tons.
The magnitude of this trade well corresponds
