01- We 'do not"feel at all disposal to detract
from the merits of Reading. Qn the cenikary, we
are free to admit that it is a "beautiful borough,7'
and that its situation is delightful, equal, probably,
to that of any other place in the State, except our
own "CITY Ix Tail:Tuts.", We are also per
feed,' aware that Reading, being, as it is, in the
midst of a fine-agricultural country, thickly popu
lated, is well adapted for the building up of a'larg e
Manufacturing town. But the Reading people,
until recently, have done all in their power to
tard the growth of their town. They opposed the
Canal and the Rail Road, sayiiag that if those im'r
provements were made, Reading would most as
suredly be ruined; and when the Canal was firi
ished, they sorrowfully stood on its banks, and as
the boat-loads of coal passed down, and the boat•
loads of goods went up,ithey sighed to think how
rapidly Reading was being ruina When the
Rail Road was finished to Revling, they stood at
the Depot, and as stage load after stage load-:of
passengers, attracted by the reputation of Potts.
villa, started for our fiCaai Hole," they stood ga,
ping, with their hands in their pockets, and groan
ed out-in anguish and bitterness of spirit, "Alas
for us, our day is o'er."
e do not wish to he boastful; it is not our dispo•'
sition. It is true that only from 80 to 100 houses
have been builtannuaiiy.for the last four years in
Pottsville. It is no less true that Pottsville is not
the only large town in the Coal Region. We are
forced to admit that two or three hundred houses
have been built in the other mining towns during
the past year, besides about six hundred in the itn ;
mediate vicinity of the. towns. We haw to eon
fess that over $1,000,000 have been expendedclol
- the year in laying down abotit forty miles 'of
new Railroad, erecting fierri 25 to 30 Steam En
gines, some of 60 hors power, opening new works
for mining, and in building:about one Thousand,
houses. This has been done in a tractof Schuyl
kill county about twelve miles in length by three
or four in breadth. We are very sorry that more
has not been done, but we do hope . that our Read
ing friends will give us credit for what has been'
accomplished in- our town and its vicinity.
The Reading people never discovered th`e ail
vantages they possessed until it was whispered intO:
their ears by some of the. Pottsville folks. Read;
ing is rapidly improving. no• one will deny, hut
is certain that its greatest improvements have beeti
made by strangers. Many persons intending to
,settle here, save found that Reading presented
greater inducements, inasmuch as the, inhabitantei
of that boroegh had not energy enough to make
proper use of their advantages. Why, it Reading
with its heavy capital, had rine-fourth as much en- 1 1
terprise as Pottsville, it would have been twice as
large as it now is.

occupation. and i
Pottsville is not large enough to develope .the,
enterprise of its inhabitants. Our borough is
shining light, which may serve to guide other pla-1
ces in the road 'to prosperity. A colony went, to
Danville a few years since, and gave an impulse
to the business of that town, which was then
ing dormarit.- Now' few rays of light'are bearnJ i
ing upon our Reading friends, and they are begin.i
ning to see in what utter darkness they have hith
erto been slumbering. Reading is beginning to
prosper—but who have caused its prosperity? The
only AnthricitelFurnace at Reading was meted
by, a Schuylkill' county man; the new Rolling Mill
and Steam Forge have been put up by persoo
who were initiated into the way of being success-,
ful by S. residence in Schuylkill county. '
We• do not:suppose that the houses built in the
Coal region arc, on the average, quite so large
those built in Reading, but we "rayther guess"i
that they would average a greeter number of per.:
sons to each house. It , will - not be long before we'
shall be able to present an accurate account of the
numberof houses, and of people in Our" towns, as
wo are now having , a census of the Coal regipti
taken. We don't wonder that our Reading friends
are excited. Heretofore they have only ezisted—i
now they begin to live, and the contrast Itetween ,
being and doing, is so great that it almoit makes'
them crazy. Keep , cool, gentlemen—keep cool!

GEN. Tattostreesi Ananias AT TOL CLOSE or
Tai Fstn.—After.alluding to some other subjects
Gen. T. went an to say that thisinstitution was
designed especially to•encouragepoinestie Indus:
try ; that the charges brought against it of being
designed to keep up a high Tariff were false ; and
that its main object was to give high wages to labor
in this-country, and protect it. against the pauper
labor of Europe. (Applause.)
t The ladies and gentlemen of this city had espe
cially favored the Institute; so hid the noble far
mers and mechanics who had contributed fruit,
flowers, cattle, and all sorts of mechanism, to en•
rich the exhibition. The improvement in the re
sources of this! country surpass conception. But
a few years einee„ end how terribly we were
depressed in every respect ; and three years, under
a wise sisteni of legislation, have made us all
proliparous and happy. (Applause.) -
'his Institution holds ;emphatically to the doe-
Wiest of self-preservation ; that this country should
create its own wealth—its own supplies—and
consequently its own • happiness. (Applause.)
We ire now by proper legislation exhorters of that
which but a feW years ago we ! had to import in
large quantities. And our prosperity is owing to
Shia fact that ive are largely exporting. It was
once foolishly boasted as a matter; of pride that we
shipped 55 millions of raw cotton; whilst we
foolishly bought all our manufactUred articlesfrom •
abroad, at a high rate,' made from our own ma
teriel. Look at the transition produced by a die,
protection to American Industry!, Massactrueeits,
'at the last census, alone .produced $ 92 , 0 ‘.)0,000 ;
now she produces $120,000,000! New-York, in
1842, shippedlfrom Albany, of ne'ricultural pro
duce only, $94,000,000—n0w she produces over
$140,000,0001 , • - .
_,
Even Pennsyl v ania , deptess e d and disgraced as
she app"nated to be, by 'opening up Per increased
internal resources, wont out in 1843 not less than
1,208,000 torte of coal: in 1844 she sent 1,651,000
tons, and up to this date in 1845' she had sent out
LSO, ( 1.005 tons , all anthracite, oxiclusive of 600,000
tortir of bituminous coal. The reiult has been that
1 s'ae' has paid the interest of her;debt. The result
to this State has been, that instead of paying $l5
a tin, we novel pay but $5 ; and this alone in the
quantity of coal consumed hereliss made a differ
ence of $25,000,000 in our expenses. Thus above
all the char is broken, the Rubicon is passed ;
we have declared to live by , ourselves, and it is
the duty of government to protect us. Applause.
Gen. 'l'. then spoke of the immense advantages
Of the new machine for breaking! Hemp, &c. and
said it would .do as much for this country as the
invention of the Cotton - Gin., !It used to take
six months to dew-rot Hemp for market; and about
40 per cent was lost in the old process—now by
American genius, the Hemp is rotted in four days
and.2s per cet is ; and in eight days the
Hemp is read y to be spun into rope, or wove into
cloth ; and thO man who invented it was educated
in a New-Hainpshire Common School, where it
vine safe to rslad. the Bible. (Great applause.)
A rope, of Ruasia Hemp of a certain size would
sustain 4,300
l i•wounds; this rope of the same size
would sustain 5,135 pounds. He also alluded to
the new machine for spinning cotton ; a new
tbrosile frame-which is almost the wonder of
.the world ; itakelopity is much greater than any
of the old machines, and by a different arrange
ment of, the spindles, a superior accuracy, quality
aud!speed are attain ed that surpass -all credibility.
And this irdtho product of American genius.
(He here exhibited a skein of thread.) This is -
one 'skein out of 300, and, has 840 yards in it.
One pound is spurt into 800 banks ;•• end these
willjextend 150 miles.
He then alluded to the great improvements made
in cut glass in 'this country, whereas is few years
since and we had to import all our decanters and
cut ([glass;' now Mr. Curtis of the Glass Works,
Brooklyn, produces glass of finer color, and better
cut than any . mported glass; and we have no
cause to beg a d pray for this article from foreign
countries. ,
' He spoke in warm temp of the increasing en
terprise of the 'oeth—of her railroads, Of:the 34
cotton factories! in Georgia, of the same number
in Tennessee and of Cherleston, herself, going
into t j manufacturing . The advantage of manu
fee ries may by seen by thefact that in one school
district in Nerd-Hampshire, ten years ago there
was but 124 persons; and 'that district now has
10,000 persons in it. Look at Lowell—a few years
ago !wainhabited— and it has 40,000 people am!
-$20,000,000 of capital; and what farmer around
there is not the richer for its prosperity ? Now
the farmer and mechanic understand their own
good ] ; Sou make grain, I'll make iron—you make
cloth, I'll irnakel leather, - and so we will go on bar
inoniously for our common mutual happiness and
prosperity. (Applause.)
After stating: that there were'now 360 cotton
factories in the; Southern States, he epoke Of the
Iron trade; and 'of the wealth that would flow into
this Country sheerly from the developement of our
immense resources in iron. A few years ago and
we had toimport all our ox-chains; but that time'
will never come again. We have :untold wealth
in o a r iron mines, and it only needs enterprise
androper legislation to develops it and bring it to
port of consumption. We have the hest artisans
in the world to work up the 'iron, and in a few
yesel we will eXperfiron to England. At present
200,600,000 of tuns of iron are - required for the
•use Of the civilized world ; and of this no less than
750,600 of to l es. are produced by the United
Stats I (Loud applause.) This is indeed the
day Of Hallelujah-1645—when we have ceased
to loOk: abroad-for all the necessaries of life. (Ap

It would be bad, infamouely tad faith, to the
emigi nt, after coaxing him all the way from Eu
rope to this country under a promise of higher
wages, to make him after he gets here, contend

Alter the President returned than, Mr., Jo
seph Sanderson of 'Philadelphia rose an said, that
as he had been among . the original p ojectors of
the Danville and PoitsVille Rail Road, ho wished
to state tho objects for which it,had been commenc
ed,, and if possible, to show the additional reasons
for its competition. He said the trade of the State,
it was now evilent, was not dependant upon its
lumber and its agricultural produce. The devel
• opernenis of time haigilibited a mineral weilth
that far exceeded our previous notions Of impor
tance, and the researches 'had thrown open fields.
1 that emphatically invited the industrious and the
i enterprising to partake , of the i treasure. In :the
I short space of twenty years, our views Iliad mate
[daily changed—our agricultural and commercial
1 notions had extended to a manufacturing policy,
that promised a richer and a much more glorious
reward. • And now, when the ,public mind iVaS
filled with the, evidences Of a well directd measure
—with the developements that have fol owed, and
are stillpresenting.thenwelves on ever , side of us
-- , -with the certainty that the Wealth of pennsylva
-310
nia lies as much under the. surface as upon it r -it
. Would not he difficult_to I realize the: ad v antages of
improvements that conduCt us to the treasures (hat
lie within our territory.; ' The fact - also, Mat the
raw material of the country was smith of thel
Hudson—that the Mineral developements were= as
yet in Pennsylvania—that the cheapes and beat
propelling power in the, world, is the - reduction
of the region through winch our wor passes,-
that the agricultural produce necessary to sustain
us, was the; staple of our State—that t a popula
il
non, the climate, and the market, were mong the
objects that contribute to our importane
1 , and now,;to enable us to enjoy the 'advantages 7. actually
possess, we have only to' inquire into ou resources,
and to appropriate them to our use. The rich end
luxuriant harvest drawn dont Schuylkil Cpuniy is
ani i l llustration of our position . ' The - nanny of
;our neighbors on every side of us to sec to the av
enues and Maintain a monopoly, is ti t less en
couraging ; and when we look at the ins haustible
stock of coal; iron ore, timber, and afilth elements
for a manufacturing district at the corm xion with
the Susquehanna, at the joction of the north and 1
west branches—with Williamsport, lossburg,
and the great Erie road itselfwith the interior 1
iron counties, and eventually with Erie land Pitts
burg, we can readily reilize the objectskor which
this work was commenced, and now beti Id the' r:
gent and emphatic reasons for its comp) tion.
But, be continued, should any one oubt the
businewi in prospect, let him look at the trade of
Schuylkill county—at the coal trade of 1825, cl
arify. 20 years ago, when 5,000 tons w, re-carried
to market and, broke up all engaged in the busi
ness-at 1830, vvhich.produced 89,984 tons,' and
advanced the price of hind from 85 to $lOO per
acre—then at 1835, when 335.686 ton were dis..
posed of—at 1840, when 452,291 tone were not
equal to the demand, and now at 1845'rhen over I
one million will betaken by the consumers—then I
let him look at the importance of this trade to the '
City—to the operatives , who have retained over
three millinns of dollars for their ante rise, and
list not least, to the consumers, who by the-Con
struction of the Reading Roil Road, wi this year
Nitre over two millions of dollars, from e prices
they have hitherto paid for their sipp y. This
business, however, only in its initiary pro i 393, and
when connected, as it mint be, with the mat coal
and iron region of the Mahimoy—with the iron
trade of Monteur's hill, thathas risen so rapidly
into,importance, and with therarious objects which
aro every day 'presenting themselves, there eould•
he no dodo:Sof the profits of the investMent.
Mr. Donaldson next took the .floor,ind stated
that two years ago we had two Anthradite furna
ces in blast. Note we had twenty-Seven in suc
cessful operation—producing over 2001 )00 tons
of metal per annum, and consuming ova '500,000
tons ofcoal..About 40 rolling mills had also gone
into operation during the same period, and when ,
we contemplate this rapid :and unexampled in 7
'crease, which according to,the nature Of things,
must continue, there can be no doubt of , the pro
vision thit will be necessary ; to acerintm date the
trade: At present the product of the furnaces was
over 16,000 tons per annum, but when the busi
nest; of some half dozen Of others in the neighbor
hood was added, 'the average would not be less
than 30,000, and the consumption of coal not less
than 100,000 tons. To, this may be air again
the businees of the rolling mill and found ea which
Would make the business of Danville worth look

was now undersonsideration. The foci Wes pre

Oaths roads, and the fact that all this trade was

. ,
little doubt of the neeessitrairovidingt ne means
facartlying it to market, , But without going in
:to the Particulars, Or of Calculating the advantages
to be derived from the completion of •the Danville
and Pcittsvilte Rail Road, he laid it was clear that
the Reading Rail Rain; and Schuylkill Navigation
Company, with all their present and prospective
advantages, would not be able to accommodate the
' trade. I.This fact, he- continued, is most =plan.
cagy pieseated in the Operations of the past, and if
we asthvate the prospective increase, .and took at
the prosgat business•of the day, there can bead.
doubt, that if half the zeal was !exhibited in defin
ing and in making manifest our resources, that
there,is to traduce and degrade the character of
these aiforks, the condition of ;their stock in the

, it avee,intelfering with' the selfiehness of men, and
presenting barriers to their schemes that ultimately
:showeir weakness; and while we contemplate
with regret the narrow and contracted !sphere of
the selfish, we must avoid the rock upon which
theystumble, and after observing the current' of
human Wants, trim our sails for the extension. •
ButfMr. Higgins said, our business is, not to
speculate upon the prospects of el'ners, bt.t to pre
.sent the realities of our own condition , and leave
the public to judge for themselves. We have first
to look at the progressive increase of the coal bti
' ainess,land after settling that point in our minds,
to ascertain the possibility of !fixing a limit to its'
contintiance—we have also to look at the struggles
and diffteulties through, which it ha's reached its
prent importance—at the condition of the pub
lic tn din relation to its advantages, when the,
trade ass introduced, and now! at the various ob.
.which jecta hit hich it has been applied. Then if it ap
is?ri
pea s the prospective advantages are not equal to
the xpenditure in developing, it, the sooner we
'abandon our project the better: But the qualities
'of ourllron and coal have become" entangled with
• •
the neressities of our condition, and the man who
,would contemplate, or hint at destruction of
the trade would be considereides visionary as die
one who projected and developeed its importance.
But an we have passed the initiatory struggles and
ere necessarily exempted from the errors, we have
only to contemplate the business of the future, and
draw the Intention of the capitalists to the advan
tages of our position. From the estimates of those
engaged in the coal business,:it appears that two
milliabs of tons will be required for this year's con
'sumpion, and that the demand for the next will
considerably extend beyond this amount. The in
troduCtion !of coal to the manitfactuto of iron—to
the ffiundries and -rolling mills: 7 -4o the steamers
navigating not only the inland. ; streams, but the
greatocean itself—to the various manufactur ing
estabi
ishments that are now Ideating among us,
and o the varrous objects to which it has been
succ ssfurly introduced, we cannot doubt the'Pe
cessi y of an enquiry into the ;sources of supply,-
and ow far our position will citable us to compete
,
with the region in existence. 1 But without pre
senting a table of distances, or of' exciting those
unnecessary comparisons that Fontribute but little
to the successful enterprise, it is plain that all , the
regions are not able to supply : the demand, and
that we are as 'advantageously situated,. and as a
but, aptly supplied'with the material as any of the
regi ns beyond the Schuylkill Valley. We have
besi es three outlets that are werthy of attention—
the ron works at Danville, where there Is-over
50,00 tuns lying on the bank, and locking up
so much capital which might be More profitably
el n ' eyed, is not to be considered the least in the
esti ate of our advantages—ndr is Sunbury to he
forgotten, when we look at the supply that will be
required to supply our southern market—at the
iron trade of tho Susquehanna-at the water pow
er which is equal to any force that -may be requir.
ed—and at the natural outlets and'. advantages to
be i!erived, during the winter a least, from the
nu
me'ious connexions with the Western trade—our
Sudbury and Erie Rail, Road—our connexion
with • the West Branch Canal, with I the . Wil
liamsport:and Elmira, and finally with [ the Greet..
Erie Railroad, which is intended for the trade of
the !Lakes—yet, he continued,-Tour local advanM
gesJ though presenting an ample remird for the
construction of the work, arc net a beginning to'
the prospects from the connexions enumerated . ; ,
not does it seem necessary to dwell upon ththn to
convince the capitalist of the security of the Mires'.
ment. If the Delaware and Hudson with.oll their 1
colly and expensive works, can sustain themselves
by their local business,* follOws . that Daneilfe
and Pottsville may claim an equal profit from i

Mr. Tarns next followed, but we'redret the ne
cessity of abbreviating his remarks. He spoke of
thel advantages the city would deri4e from-the
completion of the.work—of iliOnanner i and means
by Which she haidlost her commercial importance
—and of the fact, that the developements in con
nex!ion with this. 'and other : Works, terminating
within her territory, would bring back and restore
the activity that once enlivened her 'streets. Ile
said "The water power of Mass' chusetts had hithy
ertd commanded the-business o( the coun'ry, and.
hadi made us tributary to the enterprise of that see.'
• tioni'of tier country—but now that we had discov-,
erect that the raw material, the Market, the agricul
turd' produce, and the cheapest and best propelling
poWer Of the world, was this side of the Hudson';'
and that this road, with our other natural advanta:
gee, was making a Lowell of - e:very village, and
would eventually establish our I city rte the great
manufacturing•citl of the country, if not to the
- i
important commercial standing ; she once enjoyed.
He
. cor.tended that the various propellors—the
safe v and facility of navigatinglthe river to with.: '
in three miles of the city—and our numerous ebn
nexiens.with the south and West, were objects
worth looking to, and would eventually produce
their advantages—he also said the city was the
owner of :30,000 acies of the beat coal land in the
regidn, and that the Zoolpfetionl of the Danville
and Pottsville Rail Road, would bring it to a val.
ue equal to all the losses that had taken place in
the Girard Estate. He then went on and exhibi
ted the anxiety of QUr New York neighbOrs to
sustain their trade, and showed that this work
with! its connexions was calculated to intercept
and of course divide the business of the west. He
gave •us the history of our turnpikes, and the im
portance we derived froniltheir completion=the
histoi'y of "Clinton Ditch". and- the effect it had
upon our commerce—the history of our public im
provements, and the fears expressed by our neigh
bors.l He also went into the history of the coal
trade; and the difficulties through which it Snug
gled...., f thewell-directed, though feeble opposi
tion to the work in which we are engaged—to the
sneers and prophetic wisdom thrown in , the way
of smelting iron with anthracite Coal—and 'indeed

Bit Mr. Sanderson, who had; nein 'taken the
door! said, "notwithstanding tho-dilliculties to
which we have been subject, or the difficulties we
have ',Tete encounter, I am cleuly of opinion that
the prospects of the future will relieve us from the

IRisoired,Vhat this Convention from Qtirioue
diigent and careful examinations have received a
very decided conviction that the immediate coot
mencement and early completion , of a rail road
from the town of Danville to,,the Shamokin coal
fitilda, and thence to form it' connection with the
Reading Rail Road at Pottsville, ought to and
does receive the cordial and earnest support of ,
each and every member , of this cunientionl; that

the following 'resolution's, Which were rea;dl and

the 12 inst, and that it is expedient that Schuy I

tion.l
Resolved, That the protective policy is inlenti
fied With the prosperity of Pennsylvania. and of
the Whole Upion—upon it depends the full
openient of our resources; it protects investment
from, the competition of heavy foreign capitalists;
gives employment and good wages to our mechan
ics and laborers; affords to the farmer a ready
herrn market for his products; adds to the receipts
upon our public improveinents ; keeps by main
tainin,, the balance of &reign trade in our favor,]
the specie of our country from. exportation ; save
us from foreign debt, and save us from dependance
upon Great Britain and other countries, for 'those
articles of consUmption, the materials for which
thei God of nature has so bountifully supplied us
with; and which needs only the proteeled appli
cation of &Odeon skill and industry-, to produce
cheaper and better than the foreign article.
Resolved, That the:doctrine of the 'Free Trade'
theorists., that impost duties add to the cost of the
article to the consumer, and is therefore to th e
extent of the duty, a tax and, burden upon him,
-so far, as regards articles of American production,
With Which they come in competition, is rebutted
by facts. Experience,'-proves that protectiOn to
American labor and capital, has enabled us to pro
doe° cheaper than the foreign article had been sup
plied—and we here instance our own immediate
prodrict, Anthracite Coal, which. with ,the present
duty iof $1 fib cents per - ton, is furnishes] to 'so
large;ditumbefof consumers in our Atlantic cities,
at two thirdsrthe cost of the - erticie when the duty
on foreign coal was but forty cents per ton. -
Resolved, ,That we believe the true basis of a
Tariff its be the Revenue Standard, and yet making
such 'discriminations for protection' as will fully
effeet,that purpose—and that we believe the Tariff
of 1842 as near that standard as is practicable,
and we therefore deprecate:any attempt at its repeal
or Modification. •
Reitalved, That w s , urde upon our representa
tives ire Congress from Pennsylvania, to stand firm
ly by; the Tariff ~of 1942. Let them remember
that o!tir representatives li.dve always been the true
friehdif of protection :.--,Lthat they =almost unani.
'mainly voted in favor of the Tariffs of 1789-
18164-1824-1828-4832 & 1845, and the reso
lutions of our State Legislature of 1832 and 1844,
unanimously - passed, approving of the priuciples
of pnitection, &ow that Pennsylvania. without
respect' to party, has always been a Tariff State,
and Proves. furthar more that Pennsylvania will
always cast her 'vote against any, party which, as a
party, oppose these principles. . '
