The idea has been advanced idly, enough, that

us and Europe. std that remoteness restores the .

for the world knows that sestmnsportation is the
cheapest of all, and that a tori .. .of iron may be ta
ken from Liverpool or, the te'e've'rn, to New York,
fur less than it costs to take it from the Iron Dis
tricts of Pennsylvania.' The prices of agricultu

cheapness, for under the influence of the Tariff of

that protection Must throughout the world ego by

inasmuch as experience, the• advance of Great - ri

_the can inental natiocs, the secret of. English Pros
, parity, and during the past five years, thirteen, pro.
'tective in the higlie4t degree, er prohibitory tariffs
have been enacted iii Etrope. From pure neces
:shy, England has been driven to preach free trade
from the fact, that all the : world 'copied her exam
:pie, and aspired to rival her. •
The assertion that England 'has established free
trade, is incorrect, in as much as. she has reduced
her duties, only when compelled to do so, by the
rial indukry of the T7nited States. -On this ac
count she took off the impost duty on cotton when
she found herself driven from foreign and cohinial
markets, by the great cher.pneaa of \ American
goods produced by the Tariff of 'l,B Pj. ''• For a
similar reason, she has abrogated the corn lasts.

more cheaply. She does not, on. account of this
abrogation, take one barrel of flour more front A

the table and have it: printed.
fir Sevier moved to refer the question of riot

Mr, Webster said that the motion was an extra

Mr: Sevier said that petitions of the kind be

THE TARIPP AND , THE COAL REGION.
We have never known such interie: feeling to:
peeysilii this region as vaists among all classes
of.Ahecoa.munity at present,- in relation to the
Tariff of ISM which ilia threatened will be 611.
pUTMIed by' the Bill of the Administration,,and
whoso_destruction cannot but exert the most
estrous influence en business of every kind around
cra. While this subject occupied every ruin& and
many were btisy concerting an available and waits
bls opposition to the proposed cournsof the friends
of the President and his party,:several persons
from Philadelphia, who it is generally believed
were in the Borough for the purpose of gaining an
influence, to ho exerted hereafter on.the Legisla
ture of the State; with certain members of the Ler
caeca party, who while they profess a peculiar
haired to corporations, are believed by a large por
tion of their fellow citizens to have been liberally
supplied with.funds,• especially 'during the past
winter, to advance the interest of certain corpora
tions, to curtail and crush individual enterprise
and trammel the . powers of all the opirators of this
region, made themselves exceedingly active and
appeared very anxious . that the said Locofocos
should be selected to pfureed to Washington, city
to represent the interest of this county in regard
to the momentous subjects now under discussion
we have referred to above. A few of our citizens
who partiCiPated in 'the general anxiety in relation
to the Tariff, but ivho were ignorant of the ulteri
or views of the onginators of this matter, were in
(Weed- to pirticipate in this movement, and a meet
ing was called in which but few of our citizens
participated, (several, whose names appear as offi
-1 cers, were not present,) which adopted resolutions
Iwe publish in another column. Of the two per
sons selected, one at leaSt is an avowed and on.-
compromising enemy // to protection, so much so,
that we learn, he ha 6 been in the habit of telling .
persons from 'the country, who deal at . -a, store in
Orwigsburg, that were it not for the present Tariff
goods could be sold at a much less rate than they
,are, and the sincerity_of the professions of the
other - in favor of I e Tariff, is considered at least
hypothetical. As soon as itavas announced that
F: W. Hu es and George Rahn, Esqs. had been
selected t be the official representatives of ibis re
gion'at 114 in "ton, the feeling became more vi
olent througlMut the borough, and siinultatwously
Without any call, within two hours, an old-faslll
. ioned meeting was held, Which Was only equalled
here in numbers and enthusiasm, by those which
took place (furled the last Presidential campaign.
The design to send on these men was repudiated
with indignation and feeling, not because they
jeeted to their being sent by l any 'Persons who
might please to bear their expenses, but becauSe
they would not tolerate for a moment the idea that
men shOuld be reptited their representatives who,
had so * grossly; and wilfully contributed to produce
the:present clang( r, by the deception wrought on
the arijitrityof Schuylkill County, fur which they
are yet to be held- to-a rigid accountability, and
whom the people believe:'-if an opportunity offer
ed for a similar purpose, would not hesitate to .
enact aguiti a similar series of misrepresentation.
So long as the people suffer themselves to be gov
erned by dere party- tactics, and act blindly in
obedience .to the dictates of persons wlio exalt
themselves into party leaders, sueirsecnes'will be
enacted agald and again with, impunity, but if
they will but take the matter into their own hands
and refuse, their attention to whomsoever has once
wilfully deceived - them, men will lie careful how
they falsify and defraud them of their votes; they
will 'dread the retribution of disregard ind con
tempt. Such a receptierruuless we are Mistaken
Lout the indignant feeling which now prevades the
district,sonte persons will hewafier receive. The

that we will support no roan for any public
,of
• tit l e, who is Dot an open, tWowed and active sup.
Porter of the Tariff . of 1312. •
Rexolred, That the destruction of the Tariff
of 13.12 is a blow -aimed at labor—that its repeal
will again spread ruin and desolation throughout
this noW- prosperous country—impoverishing the
business mum& robbing the laborer of his capital,
by depriving him of employment and fair wages,
thus reducing his family to want and.' rendering
his home desolate.
Resolved. That the proposed change of the du
ty on Coal from $1 75 per ton to 30 per cent. ad
valorem, which is only about 43 cents per tau
when fairly collected, but which is open to all
kinds of fraud, which will deprive it of any duty
if found necessary by the' foreign competitor—
will fall mare - heavy ou, the Coal 'frail° than any -
other branch of business, because it makes a re
do inn of from $1 30 to 50 per ton On no ar
ticle which is sold when mined at from $1 75 to
$- 37f per tun—consequently the greater portion
of this redaction will fall on labor,, - whili tutist3
be reduced on the average from 23 to 30 ceuts'
per driy, or the business abandoned, thus robbing
and swindling the 5000 Miners and Laborers et.-
gaged directly in the Coal Trade in Schuylkill
county out of at least One Thousand Drillers per
day, and upwards of
,Three Hundred Thousand
Dollars per annum, and without conferring any
benefit on any other portion of .the community,
as past experience shows—wo therefore appeal
-to the United States Senate, on behalf of our
selves, our families and our common country, to
stand by the Tariff of 1842, which has brought

FMlst, or South Anthracite Region.
LEHFGH DISTRICT.
The eash.rn portion of the Lehigh Mining Dis-
Wet of the South Anthracite Region, belongs to
the Lenigh Coal and navigation Company. Pre
vious to my entering upon a descriptio n . of the
veins of coal, and iron ore, embraced in the Com
pany's lands, it, may not be uninteresting to the
public to state some of the difficulties. to whieb
the pioneers of this valuable mineral estate, were
subjected, in the infancy of mining in this *Coal
Region. I therefore submit the following brief ex
tracts, taken from a pamphlet published by the
company in 1340*. In 1793 the "Lehigh Coal
Mine Mompany" was formed, and a purchase was
made from Jacob Weiss, of the tract of land, on
Which the large opening on SuMmit Hill is made
(see my Anal' map.) The companY afterwards
took up warrants from the CoMmonwealth, em
bracing about 5 , 6 of the CO3l lands owned by the
company; the mine was then o 1 cd, and the sum
of tefi pounds ($26 07) was ap'propriatrilto con
street a road from it, to the Lehigh river, a dis
tance of 9' Miles l ; , ahnot4 per - milt , : Many
fruitless attempt's were made to get coal to . . inarr
ket, until at last the comparty_sullored their prop
erty to lie idle for rome yeirs: •
fn Decertej, 1807, a lease was given upon one
of the coal veins ti Rowland& Rutland, with the
privilege fo dig -gratis, iron' ore and coal for the
manufacture' of it n. The business was , soon_
abandoned rogeths, with the lea-e.
In DscembirnBl3, a lease for ten years 'was
given to Messrs;ltfiner;Cist, & Rubinson, the con
sideration whireof was an annual introductionin
to Market of 10,000 bushels of Coal, for the hen
al of the lessees. Fice . ark loidswere delatch
ed, three of which were %crooked on their way to
Philadelphia. Four &Ears pf,r ton was paid by
contract, to haul the coal frail the mines, (over
the $3 per mile road) to . the Lehigh, and the con
tractor lost money by. it; and $25 per ton was
paid for the coal at Philadelphia, but this price did
not remunerate the on ners ; they therefore did not
procecuto the business, and their lease became for
kited.
Messrs. Whit?. Haute, .& Hazard in December.
1817, visited the mine and obtained a lease for 20
year+, on'condition that they should deliver 40,000
'bushels of coal into Philadelphia, annually, fur
their own bop fit, ainra.-hould pay upon demand,'
one car of corn as an.annual rent for the property.
These gentll Oitie btad an act dated 20th
March. 1818, to nprove „the ,Ttiver- - Na‘igation ;
and $50,000 was estimated to defray the ex
penses. This amount was raised, and the Pompar
party formed on - August 10th. 1818, under the
title of the "Ileshigli NaVigation Company." On
the 21s1 of the sure year the " Lehigh Coal
Company" was formed, and the'capital subscribed
to it was $55,000. A ,new read was laid out in
the fall of 1818, and finished in 1819 ; this was
intended for a - Rail Road, as soon as the business
would warrant the expense of . placing rails upon
it. In the spring of 1820. the ice did considerable
damage to the.dams, and sluice gates of the Navi
gation. On the 21st. April, 1820, the two Com
partics ited.under the title of the Lehigh Na
vigation a Coal Company," and $20.000 more
subscribed to he stock; 'the navigation was re
pai;rd, nnd 26 - tons of coal sent to Philadelphia,
which stocked't e market, and was with difficulty: .
disposed uf.
p n Ist May, 18;21, a new arrangement-of the
whole noncein took
_F:dtice, and the title. was
charged to the " Lehigh Cold 'and Navigation
Company "-;" $50,000 was afterwards subscribed
to more effectually complete the navigation and
-1073 tons of coil were sent to Philadelphia that .
year. . . .
An act of incorporation was applied for and
granted to thi. Company, Feb.. 1822. !unit

Capital Sandi was increased by new' sulicriptions

were sent down the Lehigh. In 1826, 31,28 U,

In January of 1826, the Gravity Rail Road from
Mauch Chunk. to the Summit Mines was coin
rnenced, and in May 1827 was in (Tura - nom In
