Our-accounts.' in a commercial and- financial
point of View, arc more important than they have
been fur the last twenty years. A terrible revul
sion has Commenced in England, greaterthan that
of 1825, end similar to that of 1837 in the United
States,. This revulsion has been produced by the
combined mflueneo of a had harvest all over Eng
lard and Europe, a bad monetary system, and the
unthinking inflation in railway 'speculations.
All slacks, and every staple is going down—
except the price of hreadstuff.,which the impend
ing famine enLanecs and improves. The terrible
movement is just in its commencement. The
first blow .has just been struck—and in Ireland,
the agitatdr O'Connell is already using it for the
purpose of oppositibn to the union.
T-taaißLE litiLWAr REYOLSION.—The rail
way? mania has received its, quietus. Something
like 'a'pahie has overtaken, the, speculators in iron
highways. Now, that the reaction has come it
brings in its train ruin and, devastation, and bank
ruptcy todhousands. . -

this temporary insanity has . produced. will be felt

commotion ; and the cry of “Open the ports arid
let in corn duty free !" is heard on all sides; rever
berated from every part ,of the, empire. :
O'Connell, who assumes to be the tribune of
the Irish people, goes beyond this. He demands
a grant of public money, to tha extent of a million
and a half, to be expended in the purchase of food
—ho calls for a tax of fifty per cent. on thelabien

taken place, at all of which. the Liberator figured

• I:aks'cr.—The announcement of the resig,na
tion of the breve old veteran Soult appears to be
based on truth. At his advanced age, repose and
retirement would well . befit him, so that the . old
soldier, like the Roman in the capitol,' should be
enabled to adjust "his mantle before the closing
scene of his eventful carver.
Prx3lP AND PLAt.N-.—A Southern editor makes,
the following frank announcement:
•
.We shall not support any man for alike short
of Ten Dollars, besides •his annunciation fee.—
That's what the lawyers charge for attending to an
assault and battery case, which is a light and love
ly occupation compared with that of editorially
tending to a candidate'icase., to say nothing of
the awful wear and tear of conscience in this pm ,
culiar branch of our business.'
A gentleman in Massachusetts has invented
what he denominates an "invioible door spine,"

as a day of Thanksgiving and Prayer, our citizens
made arrangements for the obserVance'of it in a
proier manner. Nearly all of the Stores and pla
ces of business were closed, there were few, wag
ons or other vehicles in the streets, 'and the town
was almost as quiet as it is generally upon a Suri
day. The Churches Were open for public wor
ship, discourses appropriate to the oceasion were
delivered, and the attendance upon the religious
eiercises of the day was large, notwithstanding the
unpleasant weather. • •
We are glad to see that every year Thank-skiv
ing day is becoming more closely observed, and
we join in the hopo expressed by one of our ex"
changes, that next year the President will recom
mend a Day of National Thanksgiving, which
may be observed• throughout the Union, so that
the Nation, as one man, may return giatelul ac

The number of accidents' that annually occur
in the mines, ba:s neveryet been accurately' known.
Many persons are • injured whose' names aro not
published, and many accidents occur, an account
of which never finds its way. into the newspapers.
There .are many widows and orphans in our
own region, Who have hem) deprived of husbands
and fathers by accidents in the mines, • and there
are large numbers of disabled men who can scarce
ly earn a Vare support, who have suffered the less
or injury of their limbs in the same way.
Could all see the dangers to which the miner is
subjected, no one would complain of the extra toll .
of one cent which might ho placed upon each ton
of coal, as we have suggested. A gentleman from
New York, recently on a visit to this region, after
having passed through some of the mines, said,
have heretofore complained of the high :price , of
coal, but now that I have seen the dange4 and dif
ficulties attendant upon miring it, I shall never
complain again."- We think it is not only tight
thatt, our citizens should make some efforts to have
a Miner's asylum built—we consider it their duty
to see that it is done. We hope some rneisures
will speedily bo taken to secure the object proposed,
and we know of no•.method by which it could be
so readily accomplished as the, one" we have stig
gested. . What say oar city exchanges? Will the
consumers of coal in the large cities object to the
extra penny imposed ipoti each - ton Will they
object to contributing so small a mite,for the benefit
of disabled miners, and the widows and orphans of
those who are killed while procuring coal for their
comfort! Wc.think not. _
Bt nix PaeanitiTiox.---Among the most in
teresting exercises of Thanksgiving Day was the
presentation of a Bible by _the ladies of our Bo
rotigh to the frottsville Division, No. 52, of the
Sons of:Temperance. The Division turned out'
in strong numbers and in company with depute- .
lions frorrefteading and Orwigsburg, who' came up
in an extra train balm present ou the occasion'
they paraded through our princizal streets.--4
The procession attracted much attention both on
account of its numbers, and the.neat regalia worn
by. the members. ,
The ceremonies of the presentation took place
at the Presbyterian Church at 3 o'clock, F.. M.
After the singing'of an ode by the members of the
Division, and prayer by Mr. G. Jennings, the Bi
ble was presented on behalf of the ladies by John
K. Clement:Esq., in a neat and eloquent address.
and was received for the Division, by ,Robert M.
Palmer, Esq.;who returned•the thanks of the Di
vision in code feelingAnd'appro - priate remarks,
Another ode ;vas then sung; after whiCh Mr.
Philip S. White, of Philadelphia, made a powerful
and eloquent address, setting forth'llie 'objects and
usefulness Of the Order, and replying to objections
which are urged against it. In his'remarks upon
these who oppoSed the movement, or Withheld
their influence from it, ho spayed, no class of the
community, portrayed the evils of+ intemperance
in a masterly manner, and demonstrated that the
only security which a'man could have was inletal
abstinence from all that intoxicates. He showed,
too, the beneilts of association, and the influence
of example. He spoke of the Order of the Sons
of Temperance as a Benerolvit Association, and
explained the benefits' to be derived Jinni a mem
bership in it. He acrid that be , ' considered the
Order of tho'Sons of Temperance to be the great
est moral movement of the day, and expressed his
surprise that any of the religious community. should
_oppose it. Mr. While was listened to with) evi:
dent satisfaction, and his uthlres made . a (kip,
and we lope a lasting impression upon the minds
of his auditors. The exercises were closed by the
singin4 of an ode, and the benediction.
The Bible which
.was-preiented on this Inca !
sion, is one of LiPpincott & Taylor's publications,
without note or comment. .It is splendidly
bound in crimson velvet, with gold clasps, and -is
one'of the most beautiful books we have ever seen.
The attendance at the Church was large, and the
a.udicnce espressed great satisfaction at the man
neria which the exercises were conducted.

Res,olved, That

'Our Mew-yarnpshirepapershave been copied into
the gevernment organ lit Wasliingtod, .and 'have
obtained a circulation and importance which the
slanderous organ from which they emanated could
never have given them, we now feel ourselies cal
led upon to declare, to the 'perpetrators of these
slanders—and to the editor of, the 'Washington,
Union,' that the' statements in said prints, respec
ting, our condition as, laborers, are false...grossly
and maliciously false, and are.unworthy the heart
r the pen of any man who professes to Jived
ither troth or justice. ,
Resolved, That some of us have sold farms, or
left other business, and voluntarily. become residents
of Manchester as operatives in the mills, because
We could do much better for ourselves and foi
those dependant upon us, than we could at any
other business, and that as we were free to come.
so we are free to stay, and when we are dissatisfied
with the corporations' treatment we shall exercise

blood of theif victirits, and then add insult to in
jury by professing how much tac.9 care for the op
pressed slaves of the factory system. Nay,' we
assert, it shall not be done with impunity. ' We
protest, knowing as we do, the existence of these
evils better than any others, so best we know how
to rid ourselves of them, choosing to do it in our
own Way, and after the Manner which an intimate
knowledge of the circumstances shows us to be
the mbst effectual, discarding help -froth 'all with
ainteeipt and disgeSt, when their motives of se-
ton ai . e those of hireling or party sycophants
Relayed, That the charges made upon the oper
ative 4 overseers and others connected with the
Manchester' Corporations by the \Vashington lid
on, Mitt.New-Hampshire Patriot at Concord, are
false in general and false in detail—that they.could
proceed from none other .than demagogues and
radio l partir.Mis, whose only purpose is to de.:
grade!in the eyes of the Community at large, our
northern laborers to the debised condition of the
slavei of, the South, and are unworthy of any in
divid al who has any regard for the truth, or who
has the welfare of the countryand of the people
at heart.
Resolved; That although it may suit the' editor
-of the Washington Union to hold up the condi
tion .if the sons and daughters of our fainters,
-wild earn an honest livelihood in our factories, as
bein i g no better, nayeven worse than the slaves of

fiesolved, That we most solemnly protest in the
sight of heaven and:earth against the putting any
faith in the representations above alluded to. We
protest that tliey. are false in all their particulars,
arid that their aggregate. is a most vile calumny:
We pretest that they have not even the semblance
of truth ; that they are on their very face wicked.
ly libellous. We protest (hat man who wrote
down such charges knew ;most fully, (if he knew
ahythiog about it) that be was guilty of deliber
ate and wilful falsehood. We believe his con
science bore him witness. that - every charge was
a most base and deliberate lie, set down in malice
or from cool calculalioa of, profit. We protest
ilist in 'no possible gense of the word is slavery
or servitude our condition, nor can any circum
kance of life be described more remote than ours
from deserving that description. We protest that
we are morally, religiously, politically, physically,
free—as free as walks man or woman on the wide
earth. We know no restraints but our own wills
and the laws which bind all. •
; We arc grad to see that the working men ate

fessiOns'made by the administration'organs. of re
'gard for the interests of the poor. Throughout
the country the eyes of the people aro being open

ed to the fact that Locofeco profession- is very dif- .
ferent from Lecofoco practice. Would it not be
well for our mining and laboring population to ex
press their opinion of the epithets so freely be
:stowed upon them by the patty leaders in thts re
gion.. Aro they willing to be denounced as slaves
to the 'crlal-operators3 I Will they submit to
be classifujil withsaavesl.' •If not,. let them come
,out manfully and tell -therwerld that the working

zonaof any County, State or Nation, in the world.
Tliey ought to do this—and deserve to be called
s6ves if al l ey do not resent the insults heaped up
ot-i them. ' Even in benighted &Tits we discover
that some of the. blind are beginning to see.
A, Mechanic, and a Dbmocrat too, in speaking
of the Tariff of '42, in a recent number of the
. Reading quixotic, says .1 •
"I wish, however, to be distinctly understood,
that I dosnot ask protection for the capitalists and
manufacturers for their own sake and beneGt—
, .bia I doj'aik far myself, and in behalf of my
fellow
,inechanics and workmen, that we shcill be
protected—aye, and amply protected too, against
the tau wages and pauper labor •of Europe=
and we have a right to ask this of the present ad
ministration, for we' were taught to believe, by the
most prominent men in our patty, that if we wieh
ed to preserve our prosperity, we must go for Polk,
Dallas, Oregan, and the Tariff of .'42. -
"If we have, in the honesty of our hearts, been
deceived, I for one, will do the utmost in my pow
er to expose the recklessness of those who solemnly
assured us that the Tariff of '42 would not be in
terfered with by the present administration."
