PHILADELPHIA LE 'GETZ.,
Not long since we published • c.altidatiOn and
its result showing conclusively w i tt think. why the
'Philadelphia Ledger, a paper which prbfesses to
have at heart exclusively thiaqnte i rest bUthe met
ing men, spolai se : strongly in support-of the Tariff
of 'O, a measure Which prostratt.s, so long as it
shall remain ha force, not only their future pros
pecta and progress, but their present Prosperity'
We showed conclusively, we think, that 'roma
merely selfish point of view the Ledger advocated
the new , bill—that by a prostradoia of !atmr. and
of the basiness * of the country. ibe proprietors
of
that trincern could , save ten thousand dollars per
annum. We have, we think; proven all that w e
said" to be true.
All the world kriows that the Philadelphia Led
ger_and the Baltimore Sun are owned by one and
the same concern.. The article we referred to
was palpably felt In be true, for in the Bun of
Monday was an attack in. desperately had Eng
lish and worse logic, which in : Tuesday's Ledger
came endorsed with the regular heal of the frater
nity. This article says many things. among oth
ers that the Miners' Journal is published by an
agent for the prop!ictor. Well What ofltl Peo
ple with even very bad memories can remember's
time when the
its
was published.without any
name under its head, and When those interested
were sadly put to it, to ascertain who were the
koprietors of that redJubtable , concern. This
fact only shows that Inert may Make money, but
that money does not make men, I
_least of all gen
timen. SO far the matter has been peMonal; we
shall look at the Ledger now, from the point of
view of the interests of. this region and the coun
try • _•
People with very bad memories can i recall the
time when the Philadelphia Ledger was the un
compromising enemy of this region and its inter
ests, when it attacked its men and even Went so far
as ito slander its institutions and attempted
to. deter persons from visiting it. But after the
indulgence of phantasies of this sort "a change
came over the spirit of its dredm," And why ?
'The concern, proprietors of the Baltimore Sun and
Philadelphia t Ledger, became interested in coal
lands.. Both papers swallow'ed ill their prior as
sertions and acted. as if the good of the nation
;leper - led upon the maintenanccof the interests of
this region; We may as well 6tata here as else
where, that the owners of these two presses end
of the lands we refer to, are generally reputed to
be the severest landlords and most exacting mas
ters in Schuylkill county. .
But that from the fact that they became. limners
of lands they shduld change their course, should
not surprise any one, familiar with its course,
for in ouv memory and that of the cornmuni-
L ty, every political creed, every Phase of party has
been advocated by the Ledger. It has been Whig'
and Locofoco, Slavery and Anti-Slavery, Native
Ameriean and the reverse precisely, as interest
dictated ; and merits no Mom Consideration than a
pressor any other thing else utter i ly prostitute does;
we have .one satisfaction in knowing that the peo
ple properly estimate it, and that it_is looked upon
in this light.
We stated that the Tariff of '42 would raise
the country to a high state of prosperity; the Led
ger
„denied it. We stated that. the Bid, of '46
would prostrate the country, the Ledger denied it.
We have attempted to prove our words; we think
we done so. Now it is a part of our 'system to
tell the truth and ask no favors, and we also think
that when an evil exists the peoltle should be in
formed of it that they may knOtv bow to_correct
it, therefore it is that we have spoken plainly of
the true state of things in - this region. ' We have
'neier sold ourselves for the patronage of the gov
ernment. Had we been dibposed we might have
gotten as good a price as the Ledger, but would
have been forced to become the 'organ of all torts
of slanders and deception'ag the Ledger has been.
For ourselves; whether publishing for theitoprie
tor or otherwise, we have but to say, that our pa-.
per is taken not only here, but wherever anthracite .
coal goes — that, it is understood, its opinions ap
proVed of by all - interested in the region and in its'
prosperity,' and that our, patrons repudiate the
Ledger as they would any thing notoriously im
pure and insincere. That this is the case is pro
ven by the fact that at this moment Our circula
tion is larger than jt his 'ever heen before and is
daily increasing.
Itls; true that the Ledger is supported by the
working men: Why this is. the case we can not
think. The laboring men, the hard and heavy
true-hearted and honest, people, seem animated
by some 'unnatural . ti4tion to, hug it to its bosom
while it is sapping an destroying the very vitals
of theirprosperity.• This can ! only be accounted
for by the fatality, that while opposing their inter
est it panders to their prejudiceti. If there be truth
hOweyer, in the old 'maxim, that. justice is sure to
triumph over iniquity, the veil willsoon be winos-,
ed 'and the Ledger will stand forth in all its .
naked deformity - . • • '"

Benjamin Bannon ' N. M. Wilson, Esq., Sam
uel Yost, Benjamin Bensinger, J_ames
Peter Filbert, George. Medlar, Esq.,
Joseph Albright, and John . Spohn, who retired
and reported the following, which were adopted
by the meeting without a disAenting voice
Resolved, That we pledge. ourselves to support
the Protective Tariff Ticket formed this day direct
ly by the people. COmposed of men in whom we
have implicit confidence, we' earnestly reccom
mend them to the public as worthy of their sup
p'r'. -
Resolved, That we heartily respond to the
unanimous nomination of George N. Eckert, of
Schuylkill by the Conferees in district Convention,
as ,our candidate for Congress=a man who has
been a resident of the county for the last 20 years,
intimately connected with its leading interests as
a business man, and who has devoted a large por
-tioh of both his time and money in advocating
and establishing the Protective Policy, which he
thoroughly understands; not only in theory, but in
all its details--a man who+ private character is
above reproacti-plaio,unassuming, - and popular in
hi s manners, but independtnd determined in the
support of principles, t . e establishment of
which will add .to the prosperity of t e greatest
number. In fact he posesres in an e ~ rtinent de
gree all the requisite qualifications to make a rep-,
resentative of whom the whole' district may feel
proud. Schuylkill county, if she is true to the
Protective Policy, in which she is more interested
than any other county of the' State, cannot fail to
give him a majority.
Resolved, That this meeting is opposed to the
nomination of • a candidate for Sheriff, for the fol
lowing reasons: Ist Because no nomination-for
this office has heretofore been made in Schuylkill
count", since it existed as a county, or in Berks of
which it was forinerly a part. .
2d. Because the sheriff-is the most important
officer in the'counly, whose duties are closely and
intimately connected with the Misfortunes of the
people. and therefore they ought to be Formittelto
make their own choice in accordance with the
Good old system, which has worked well so far,
and secured to the people the most competent,
faithful, ant:lenient officers -without the aid of a
party nomination,which is generally dictated by a
few persons, to further their own selfish views, at
the expense of the (rights, intere s ts
.and choice of
the people. A prompt and decisive rebuke at the
ballot box will effectually preveht any future at
tempt to abridge the choice of the people in
.mak
ing their own selection hereafter.
Mathis!, That this meeting declare their deter
milted and persevering Hostility to the British ta
riff of 1846, which discriminates so largely against
American labor and indtistry, that even a South
ern free trade Loccifoccr'pronounced it so 'harsh,
cruel; and unjust to labor and capital, that he pre.
ferred sacrificing the high and honorable post of
United States Senator, in preference to casting his
vitt° its.favor. _ The country demands its re
peal.
Resnlved, That we are determined to adhere to
the admirable system of Protection to American la
bor and industryas embodied-in thotariff of 1842,
tvhich i combined also .the principle of revenue, a
measure which restored our eredit,raised the coon.
try froin a low state of depression and ruin, to a
high degree of prosperity,- and which wo are bound
to believe gave universal satisfaction, from'the fact
- that not a, single petition was presented to the
present Congress horn the peci,ple, asking ;for its
repeal. ,
Resolved, That 'while Congress appropriates
mitlions every year to an army fur the defence of
ou r frontier citizem—and to a navy for the pietec
lion of those engaged in commerce, theagrieuhu
ral, maufacturing and mining interests have a
right to demand legislative protection from the
low wages of , other countries, a course of policy
which fills our coffers and supports our' govern
ment, without the aid of direct taxation; giveS em
ployment to our people adds stimulus tO . ,the
domestic industry of the country, and lessens
prices to the-consumer.
Resolved, That Pennsylvania would stand de
graded before the whole country, if, after 'so mark
eila sacrifice of-her leadinginterests, coal and irdn
was made, because her representative's would not
become the willing instruments of their own op
pression, if she does not her.] back through the
ballot box the taunts and jeers cast upon her, that
spaniel like, she will crouch and lick :the rod that
mites her.
Resolved, That we- Cordially extend 'the right
hand of fellowship to all the friends of protection
in the county. without regard to the dis
tinctions that may have heretofore divided them,
and'call upon them to unite with , us, in supporting
the out-and-out Protective ticket. formed this day,
and thus show to the destroyers of our prosperity,
that the voters of Schuylkill at least know Meir
rights and interests; and dare maintain them.
Resoloed, That it is the opinion 'of ttiiti meet
ing, that no man can consistently be in fiiiror of
ProtectiOn to A merican industry and at. the some
time a supporterof the present Administration.—
They are directly at Mar wills each oilier, and
we have high authority for declaring that no man
can nerve two masters. This is ,a matter' worthy
the serious attention of every voter who is desir
ous of supporting his own interests in preference
to those of party. - . .
Resolved, In the language of James =M. Power's
friends and, neighbors, in Mercer county, that in
asking the support of the people of Pennsylva
nia for one of -their citizens as tha candidate for -
Canal Commissioner, they do so in the well foun
ded confidence in, his honesty and patriotism. It
is 'well known that James N. Power comes not
before the people holding office, and presented by
any combination of- politicians, One of the peo
ple presented by the .people, and maintaining the
principles they advocate, he stands before them
free and untrammelled. Now is the time for
Pennsylvania to speak in the loudest tones 14 fa.
vor of the tariff of '42," and give a rebuke to
those politicians and' citizens who have sofraudu
lently bartered away bet:Mir:Mits. Let her rally
around the TARIFF CANDIDATE, and let it
not be a party triumph, so much as a triumph of
principle-6f the tariff of '42, over the abomina
ble British act of '46.
Resolved, That we tender our hearty thanks to
tho lion. Alexander Ramsey; our present member
of Congress, for the very able and efficien(servi.

Gen. Taylor appears to have finally set out on
his march to the interior of Mexico,' and' in a
short time will have passed the second 'great crisis
at Monterey.
•
,At the list advices 15000 Men were collected by,
Paredes. It is ,now however generally thought
that the coming of Santa Anna, and recent events
atthe seat of Government will force hir i n to return
to Mexico. Of the movements, of Santa Anna,
we know' nothing except of his arrival before
Vera Cruz.
The New York Tribune has received from Ha
vana a letter, which asserts on the most respecta
ble authority, that an agreement had been entered
into . between. Santa Anna and certain _agents of
the British and American Gavernment. The ar
rangement is said to be as follows: 7 . , The Mexi
can Federal Government of 1824 •to be re•estab
ed under the guaranty of the United States; so
that. in case of future pronunciamentos l , the U. S.
Government shall have a right to interfere ia sup
port of the Canstituttonal authorities.l The Rio
Grande to be the Leundary line and the Califor
nias to be organized as a distinct Territory, un
der the protection,of the United States, but: not
governed by Americans until the inkabitants shall
think fit to annex Themselves, to favor whichpur
pose the country will be allowed to carry on a
free trade with both Republics, and admit colonists
from all countries, and of all religiOns B i nd creed - r"
The intelligence it true; is of - the greatest rr 0..
ment, and would go far to content all parties and
opinions.
From Gen. Kearny nothing has been heard for
nearly 20 days, ehd probably the next arrival from
New Mexico will give an account of his complete
success, He will have only the Mexican aoldiery .
to contend with, the people of the upper previa
'ces, by long and familiar intercourse and business
connection, having beconio to look on the people
of "the U.-S. as friends. From Gen. WoOl nothing

FOR THE MINERS' JOURNAL
. Orwigsburg Sept. Bth, 1846.
Mr. Bannon ; As - a
citizem of the county, a
Democrat of the old school, and for many years a
subscriberto*your paper, I claim the right through
your columns, to protest against theproceedings of
the Democratic Ceti venti - on recently held in Schuy
lkill Haven. I wishlto• say that they are ince'''•
sistent and totally at 'variance with 'the principles
of the party. They are servile in their construe
tion.L.bending With undignified;hostility to the
Mandates of a higher .power, and altogether
tending to s sacrifice of the interests of the people.
The resolution relating to the President is with
out dignity, and while it expresses "undiminished
confidence in: the integrity, abilities, protection,
and sound Detnocratic principles," it ressertsPosi
tively that there Is only "a plurality of his official
acts, that meet our, decided approbation." The
resolution, also, relating to the, Vice President; is.
alike •unbecoming, ' and while it concurs, it salvfs
over,in wishey-washey expressions, and excuses
*one of the most impudent violations of principle
that has yet disgraced onr, country. •
If pretends, to concur in the act and most grocieus
ly• volunteers the excuse'; and then willingly—l
was going to say charitably—concludes that "the
mistake," which cuts off already some $25,000
per week from the operatives of this county, must
be credited "to the het," and not "the \ intention."
It further express a belief that the "vote was
given conscientiously," ,and that notwithstanding
his speeches in favor of protection—his pledges of_
fidelity to the working nian,' we must excuse him
him go ahead, and sin no more—that we the
hewers of- wood and the drawers of . water"—the
Men who'made hini—who loved him—who bon
cired him,and are now deceived and reified by him,
Must knock under. and cat the crust we have earn
ed by our "good 'intentions." According to these
resolutiOns we hovel no business to resent our mis
placed confidence, but must humbly submit and
pocket the consequences. • •
Such are the inferences tam 'obliged to draw
frOM the resolutions before me, and if such ore to
tie, hereafter, the lehding principles of the Demo
cratic party, the sooner the Lord delivers us the
tietterit will be for the community. If we are to
submit fo such doctrine, we may as well begin at
Once to settle the qhestion of our - privileges to the.
preliminary conventions.'. The country which has
hitherto been laboring under a plethora of pros
perity—has extended, under our Democratic mea
sures, our commerce to every sea—her people has
descended unto the, bowels of the earth for our
Wealth and resource, and has covered even the
Wilderness . with civilization and plenty—yet this
grand system which
. has been conducted by men
Who understood the wants and wishes of the peo-
Ple—who,have acted and stood above the subter

MR. FOSTER A+ TRE - TARIFF.—The „Demo
cratic Union of last week contained a very able ar
ticle urging the re-election of Wm. B. Foster, Jr.
To the object of the article we take no exception;
but believing that our neighbors have been impo
sed'un, we must protest 'against thsaftempt to
raiake tr. Foster occupy a false position: on the
tariff question. We believe such an attempt to
be contrary to, his !wishes. He is too honorable
and high mindeiltO desire to deceive the people
.ir, Pennsylvania. He has not been backward in
avowing his opinions on , the various subjects that
ogitate the public mind—and on none are his sen
timents better undekstood than those he entertains
on the subject of altarifi: At the meeting of the
last Congress it will be recollected that the Argus
took ground against the views \of the Sdniinistra
tion at Washington, on that stibject. Mr. Foster
was among the fet4 here, (weikay few, for at that
time the whole Rree-Trade party of the State con
sisted of a minoritk of the men in office on the
hill,) who took occasion to -find fault with us for
our course, and opebly defended the proposed mea
sures of the, party lit Washington. In the views
he then expressed we believe him to be honest.—
He was front Bradford county, and his opinions
were most ablfargind and carried out by Messrs.
Webb and Pioltet in the House of Representatives
Of the State bun waiter,- and by the Hon. David
Wilmot in Congreils. • ,
We now say, and can safely appeal to every.
man thathas ever heard Mr. Foster speak on the,
subject, and they rule not a few, that he was
open opponent,of the tariff of 1842, and an ;-• vo
cate and defender of the views expressed , ra that
Subject, by the organs of the' adminis .n at
Washington.

Still proceeding north from No. 17, there is de
veloped between it and the valley, four red ash
veins which have a south dip. These are evident
ly the uprising to the north of some of the last
described veins, thus forming 'a, hough or basin.
In it former. communication I promised that af
ter I had given a description . of the coal, vein; at
Tamaqua I would submit mY , views,relative to the
formation of the mass of coal found on the Le
high estate at the Summit mine, on which
Professor Rogers; in his second annual report of
the Geological Exploration of the state of Penn-.
sylvania, page 80, has remarked as follows : •
.A very analagous displacement of life ;same
-mountain-ridge,* and on a scale scarcely less con
siderable;occurs on the southern side of .the ba
sin, at the Summit Mines of the Lehigh Compa
ny, whore the eastern prolongation !of the, -Sharp
mountain, has been thrust northward of the West
ern, through a distance of many hundred yards.
This has formed a broad, elevated plateau, between
the two disjointed summits or the mountain from
which all the upper coal measures have been
swept away. and the strata -denuded precisely to
thalfmtunate depth necessary to lay the vast de
posite near the base of theseries, accessible on the
surface of the hill. Titus an immense mass of
coal has been spread, out over a wide space - , in a.
nearly horizontal position, disturbed, however by
numerous harp eastiand went wrinkles, ? or paral
lel antichinal axis. These undulatiobs knt dis
tinctly to the transverse disruptiOn of the mountain
and the adjoining coal- measures, as the origin of
this remarkable table 'land.'
The conclusions arrived 'at : from my own ob
servations of this part of the coal field,!_elativeto
the cause which =produced' the - gr l eat deprit of coal
at the Summit Hill mine, is hot that thq mountain
has been thrust foriVaril for several hurdlred yards
to the north; but that the gradual elevdtion of the
basin or synchinal axis or coal! veins, formed by
the north dip of the veins of Sharp mountain ha
-sind, and' rising again to the ncirth:of 'l'imaqua,
becomes at the Summit Hill mine, so near the sur
face as to expose some of the thicker and lower
veins of the series. These veins, saddling over.
to form a Second north dip, constitute, those which_
are now being worked by the 1 ehigh Oompany,
at the Summit hill. . The great hickness of coal
l c
may be attributed in part, to theact that in many'
places where saddles of veins ccur, the coal is
much thicker than it is iri its reg tar nerth or south
dip.
,The same fact may apply o the m .addling of '
i f
two orore veins and the sad le, or :antichinat
axis of coal worked at the Sumniit Hill brine, may
be the aggregate thieiness of twa . , three, or more
veins; for the fact hap been satisfactorily proved
that the, distances between the coal veins in the
central part of the region, are much greater than
they are between the same coal veins, in their con
tinuation towards the east and west termination of
the,basin. The rocks lying between the coal
veins, in the central portion', occupying a space of
many .yards, then out in ether Piaui's, =leaving at
last the coal Slate only, and sometimes . not that,
to separate the coal veins. The great thickness]
•.:.f coal and slate alternating, at 1 the Summit 'HMI
mine,may be caused by' two or more veins epales-;
clog in thisrmanner. • e- 1 "
The basin; or synclinal axis of coal veins ? , be.
fore described, continues eastward .tcs the Summit
Hill new mine, an excavation 1 of much ' stnaller
area than that of the Summit Hill- old mine4—pad.i,
sing this, the chain of mountain is discontinued,!
the graduitl elevation of the'hasin. and 'pie falling
off of the mountain, effect a dimmuation or dis
continuation to this trough of ,coal veinii--all the'
ii.fpposed shoving, disruption, .and dislocation, is
nothing now than the natural - contequences to be
expected from causes like the foregoing, that is, to
'use the'miners' phrase, the coal veins, from their
elevated Position as found at thel Summit hill, 'ha
_sining out.' = t
•
Like termination .tothe above; are found in dif
ferent places in the coal formation, both as regards
separate veins and series" of veins, which'wilV ; be
treated upon in their proper places. '
The second north dip of this coal strata, main
tain the same line of prolongation from Tamaqua
to the Summit Hill mine, and from: thence to 'the
point of tericu4stion of the Coal veins near the Lehigh.
The synclinal axis 'formed by the =uprising of
the Locust mountain coal veins at Tamaqua, con
tinues to Rhume run, abdt here in consequeece of
the higher elevation of the veins and the deep gap.
in the mountain, it is perfectly developed. The
coal "veins of this axis saddles over, and forms a
second dip to the south. The synclinal aiis runs
out &erne distance east from Rhumeren, but the
second south dip of the veins continue until they
meet in the 'point of termination, near the. Lehigh.
