ELLSIt. has been industriously circulated by several individuals through the neigh boring towns that this paper is hostile to all inter... cats but those of Pottsville: Now this, charge we pronounce utterly and entirely false, resting on no foundation but the maliciousness ofthoewhose private ends or envy may be subserved by the ell , .culalion of the falsehood. We have always conducted our paper as the organ of the Coal Region - , pledged to rio interest but the general good; under no influence but the desire to mete out justice to all with an impartial timid. If particular portions of the county have not received that attention which the situation and business require, it is no fault of ours. - Our. umns are always open, and we are al7ays ready to advocate their interests when made acquainted with them. From the nature of our business, it is impossible for us to indulge our natural wish of visiting each portion of the.county frequently, and. . seeing for ourselves, but we are always pleased to hear of the prosperity - of those around us, and wil ling to contribute to it by every trieans m our power. . . If our friends will , favor us with communications relative to the improverrients_or business, nothing will afford us more plel;sure than to publish them.

The Harrisburg Union talks rargely about a tremendous Locofoco Mass Meeting, held in Potts ville, wide!t absolutely terrified the Whigs.„ We were net at the meeting in, question—but learn from . those Who were there, that it was a very small affair—notnuu3bering moi r e than about one hundred persons, who took an active part s in the proceedings ; the balance, about 150, being whigs and spectators. The fact is, that the' Locofoco meetings recently held in this borough,have been .FO productive of good to the Whig cause, that a number of the whigs, (knowing the difficulty the Locofocos have in procuring a sufficient number, to hold a meeting) did, as we think, imprudently. attend, for the purpose %f giing them sufficient encouragement, as they assert, to hold additienal . ' meetings—and on the occasion in question, the naughty Whigs did absolutely, vote down the fol lowing resolution, which is Published in the-pro ceedings as having been adopted by acclimation That the re-annexation of Texas is a measure of vital importance to the interests of the United States. In the language of the Patriot Jackson, "lerzzot, this apprrptnity slip to regain Texas, or it May Elude.our_grasp forever, or cost us' occons .of blood, and millions of money to free us froin the evils that may be brought upon us." en;conEss.-The House of Representatives have arcedto adjourn on the 17th of June next. We hope this' Body will find time to act on the Nevi Postai; Bill, which has passo the Senate. This is the Midst important Bill before that branch of dongres's, and the whole people, without a dis-: senting voice, demand its passage: By this Bill, newspapers will Circulate free of_postage in the counties . .in which they arc published. Every cd-' itor of a neWspaper, therefore, in justice to him self and the community at large, ought .to oppose the re-slee - tionof every'member of Congress who votes againstit: Such acourse' would cause that t body to respect the views _and- wishes of their whole constituency. We understand from some of our - subscribers that they have-been furnished with a new paper fondle last two Weeks. Now . we have no objec tion to their taking as many. papers as they please, but , .ve have a serious objection to our subscription list being made the means by which their papers reach them.

ThiS immense gathering of the Whigs of the country, seems to havO created quite a panic a te 4 the locofoco ant l ers, if we may bb allowed to draw aisinference ftom their :zealous - elMita to misrepresent the numl+r i in attendance.

Speaking of Mr. -Clay, he observed —..There he stands like the lni-hty monarch of the forest, towering above all "! • _ ! 'the test, and'if his assailants`have succeeded in healing off a portion of his foliage" there he stands still erect, appealing to Heaven to protect him froinlthe rude assaults of'those wham he hail shel tered undefhis broad and wide spreading brruich . The 'following is equally good as a picture, and no' one will be at a loss to find the , original: "We have a plant in Ohio which crawls upon the grotind until it findi some support like the Hickory tree, when it wintlS itself upon it, taking root in the decayed parts, and feeding upon its vi tals' until it destroys the tree itself. This we call the pison vine, and root ii up whereverwe find it.

A stranger being unacquainted with the place, enquired by whom the Exchange was kept, he was answered by Mr. Tyler. - he exclaimed, cinse-Tyler, I will have nothing to . do, with the house, or the name. The porter s pologised, saying; I assure you, my dear sir, he is a very respectable man, being no relation whatev er to the President. What -a deplorable condition of things, when a porter must apologise if Ids employer's' name should unfortunately be the same as that of the President .of the United States." Of 'Mr. Tyler's present position he temarked— ' "On a certain occasion,' I was standing atithe, 4or of a tavern in !my diStrici, when the stage. drove up,. and ohie.of the hoi - ses without apparent- [ ly a convulsive effott; dropped down completely dead. The landlord being much irritated at the, 1 1 circumstance, exclaimed, "John, you have driven your horses entirely too hard, one of them hasjust fallen, down dead. i 'oh, no sir,' replied John, 'ho died three miles back, but I thought as he was tri harness, I would juSt ,drive him up to the stepping place.' So with John Tyler ; he died threeyeare ago, but we shall be, obliged to draw him up to the stopping_ place before we can get,clear of him" . Mr: Chambers of Kentucky was equally happy in relation to Mr. Van Buren's courage ut main taining his position as a candidate in opposition to Henry Clay. ' • "When the system of internal improvements was first commenced in Kentucky and a Railroad completed under that system, a large concourse of people' had assembled to witness the , arrival of the first train-of cars. ' Considerable 'interest was of I - -course felt by present, but by' none more than an enraged, short, stubby-horned, curley-headed hull, who placyd himself in the middle of the traclr, determined to avv t ait[the arrival of the stranger and • give him battle. He stood. his ground, and shopk ' his head manfully, until the Kentucky locorrio tive, ,coming . with: the speed of lightning, encoun- I tered hits and kneeled him three hundred feet off the trackat the first pop. An old Scotchman stand ing by, remarked: 'I admire the Courage of that mr. imal„ but I think he displays d—d bad judg- ment.' '' The following he gave' as an illustration of Mr. Van Bnren's Tariff tt At a' time when many , improvement.; were going on in Kentucky, the inhabitants of txcertain district were exceedingly desirous_ f getting an appropriation from the State for continuing a slack water navi, gation, by building another dam. Their midi- . date for the Legislature was known - to, be. secret ly Opposed to the measure, although quite anxious toire.elected. A friend knowing' MO" dilemma in which he was placed asked him how he would ex tricate himself. 'Why,' he' replied, Will go in_ for:the dam like the devil, but will oppose appropri ating one cent to make it.' So with Mr.,Van Bu ren; he is in favor of a Tariff, but would not gi've one cent for Protection.% With such anecdotes as these, and the most stirring and patriotic appeals,' did the speakers entrance their hearers on this in_ wresting occasion.

S. Gazette, gives the fol lowing account of Mr. Clay's visit to • thellouse of Representath:es.last week, and his prompt ref utation of a serious charge: "You will observe that Mr. C. °J.lngersoll has felt himself authorised to , charge-Mr. Clay with running a race of repudiation of protection to. home industry with Mr. Van Buren.. This ice a serious charge to be made by one in Mr. Inger soll's position. , Mr. Clay was in the House of Representatives yesterday when Mr. Ingersoll, coming up and ad dressing him; Mr. C. said, " Mr. Ingersoll, by what authority do you say that I have repudiated or a bandoned the principle of protectiOn V' plied; upon the authority of a gentleman of integ rity, a personal friend of .yours and a high tariff man, who informed me that he s had seen a letter written by you, about the passage of the compro-, mise act, in which you agreed to, give up the prin.' ciple of protection. Mr. Clay: It is a falsehood. My speeches at the-time, my speeches and letters since, prove the contrary. Mr. I.—The gentleman who! inform - edme did not see tho letter, but received his information from oho who had seen the letter, and is a worthy friend.of yours. • , . Mr. C.—Jew or Gentile, Tiiik •or Christian, present my, compliments to him,. and say that the charge is utterly Untrue, and tell him to, produce the letter. The - above is the-substance, and as•near as can be recollected, the very 'words-of the conversation. Wlr.. Ingersoll has made the charge, - he must. now produce the proof or retract as I doubt not he will. 7c - 'ou will observe that he relies, entirely on hear say and second-hand evidence, and even that will fail him." 4' • Even his Enemies praise him."—At a Loco foco meeting, lately held in Baltimore, Mr. Read paid - the' following beautiful tribute to Mr. Clay : "I 'shall not attempt to deny the merits of Mr. Clay. He is an accomplished gentleman—a man of ,talent—an orator of whom not only his own country blit the. vvhole world may be proud—a statesman of,consuMaie ability—and if he - should be chosen Preside 4 ,every 'man of every party might look up to him,jri his high office, and say, there is a man.'! • Vinortu.—Sufficierit is known from this State - , that we have \ arried the Legislature' on joint ballot, by a maj9nt \ y ranging from 2 to S— and that she can and will\give her electoral vote to Hertry,Clay.
