Instead of 5900,000.000, yout exports s t ud imports will sink down to less - • than two and gall' the ordinary amount. ' - Ent M r. Walker further; he says, by adopting ' • absolute ind unqualified ~free.trade, resorting, of coarse, to direct taxation for revenue—levying 'the taxes onthe Anocriecm• people (naked of fur. cign goods—Mr. Walker says we would ‘S mar sum our annual trade in imports and exports - by thousands of triages ! Wbt can but smile at • such insanity ran mad.. Mr. Walker might . mea• sure his imports by , 4 titousandsi of millions" if he hid money to pay for them, but when be tells us that the whole of the specie in the United States does not exceed ninety millions of dollars, not. enough to pay foe One months' imports under bie ' free.trarle system, how long would it last I 'Mix free trade" engine would blow out beforelt got fairly ender way. Our imports may depend, `upon oureolves, but our exports depend upon t he dispo. video of foreign countries to purchase; and they will not purchase from us when they can supply themselves. If Mr. Walker can devisee plan to c rea t e a famine or the potato rot joy Europe, he . may, to some extent, carry out his theory, but not otherwise. ' We can purchase as moat its we please While we - have money or credit; but like the reckless spendthrift, when these are•gone, we mast quit, and go to work, or starve. Mere is ~bat ono way in which Mr. Walker's pilaf' of mak. fog our exports amount, under "free trade," to thousands of millions," and that is the plan, no doubt, ho has in view. That is, to export our ore and coal to England, and bring it back in bar. iron, axes, hoes, shovels, needles, and anchors. - - 'Export our wheat and corn, and bring it bock in flour ;.or whet is worse for ar and better for them, • worked up iirkeitiy manufactures. Send them our hogs, and" bring them back in 'Brilogna sau sages. Send them our raw hides, and bring them back in leather; shoes, gloves, &c. • Send them our wool at 50 cents per pound, and buy it again at ten times that amount, in cloth—paying; not only for the wool, but for the - fiweign labor; . and' the profits of foreign capital employed in id manufacture._ Send ten dollars worth of rate - material and buy it back withthe addition of one " hundred dollars paid to foreign labor for working it into goods, while our own labor is left without money and without employment. I see it stated that one dollars worth of iron, made into main - springs of watches, is worth $20,000; and this is ell labor and its substance. Snch is Mr. Walker's theory of "free-trade" ' c arried out to its practical results—this, he says, would give employment to all our ships., Yes, sir, and with the same propriety he mi•- • antici a western Pdausylvanin farmer to load wage with wheat, and take it to Kentucky to be gound, and bring back his fluor to keep his team em pluyed—w bat would the farmer say to Mr. Walk er's proposition? ' But, ear, I wish to present another, and a more important view, in connexion with this subjectof "free trade," which Mr. Walker regards as the greatest blessing that could be bestowed upon " the people of this country, and especially upon the laboring people-"'the toiling millions" as he. calls them, in whose prosperity and welfare he if seems to take such especial interest; be speaks of increasing their "comfort, education,and hate,- ligence,".of "enhancing wages of mechanics and toiling workmen," 'blessing them with incrensed - prosperity." Now, I undertake to say, and to demonstrate, that just the reverse of all this .would be its con sequences ; and I submit the matter to the en lightened judgement and decision of the Amer ican people. 'I say that, instead of inhancing wages and increasing the "prosperity, cornfOrt, education and intelligence" of "the' Milia n , " mil. • lions," it would degiade them, in every depart ment of industry, to the miserable - condition of the pauper and serPabor of Europe, subsisting • themselves and families on oshilling a . Break' down the walls of protection, repeal the tariff, open your ports, establish free trade, and let in the products of foreign j 24 cents aday labor, and American labor must quit work and • give up their markets till our money is all gone; the n o ur mechanics and workingmen must come down, and work as cheap as they do. Is not this inevitable?. and" these are the blessings Mr. Walker has in, reserve for the dear people, "the • voters," "thetoiling millions." Mr. Walker says in his Report, that "freight," with steam and modern improvements, amounts to little or noth ing; that duties are the only thin" that prevents from taking free and fu ll. possession of our markets, and in this he is right for once; they 'will take possession of ourmarkets till American labor, mechanics, and all, come down and work fo'r,a shilling a day. Is this not perfectly clear Can it be doubted or denied? For illustration: suppose in Baltimore manufacturers and mechan ics hire workmen at 25 cents tti.day, and here in Washington they pay a dollar, will not the Balti moreans se ud down their goods,hati r shoes,elothes, everything, undersell the. batters and others here, end Must they not either give up business, or bring theirlabor.down to the Baltimore standard. They may buy as long as they haVo money, but when their 'money is all gone, they mind work.; cheap or starve. The only difference between F.umpo andlialtimoreis the "freight," which Mr Walker says is now but a slight impediment to imports.. Such would be the ultimate effects of • "free trade" on American labor. ' The great object and office of a tariff is topro• test high and prospemffslabcir against the ruin ous effects of free competition with low-priced and depressed labor. Low labor wants uo pro tection against high labor, but high must be pro tected against the _low, or by free competition, brought down to its level. This result Col lows just as certainly the removal of a wall which separated two unequal bodies of water, would bring the ono down to the level of the other. Proclaim "free trade," open your ports to the productions of thepauper and self-labor of Europe, working forten cents a day, and What follows? in ponrsthCir goods, and out pours your money; goods Some in and money goes out till it •is all gone; then we must mrikeeur own hats, shoes; and clothing, or go without. And this is the way in which - Ali. Walker. his "model Presi - dent." and the advocates of "free trade," would "increase the wages,' and promote the "comfort, education, and intelligence" of. the American people—by degrading them to the condition, :moral and physical, nod, in the end, the political condition, too, of the paupers and slaves of foreign despots. Him could American freemen live on a shilling a day? flow could they edu cate their children, who would Le obliged to work from tlie cradle:to the•grave nnfitted to be free, they would become sub j ects and slaves. Depress one class, and you or course elevate another- - 4.put down the many and yeti build up the few—first you establish a nobility, and next a king. ' I submit, would not such be the tenden cy, if tint the end, of "free trade," auTiettent . to its final reSalts! Yet this is "democracy," the modern "prbgressiVe. democracy." as preached and practiced by Polk and his patty. • - • - But this is not all. . The duties levied on foreigners to ; protect our laboring men, furnish nearly the whole revenue for the support of Gov ernment. But establish "free trade," and you not only release the foreigner and his goods from all taxation ,but yo u transfer the bu rdens to you own inmoverisheil .people—you appoint swarms of tax-gatherers to harrass and plunder thein—to sell their last caw, and _take the last bite of .bread from their children, to support your wars, your standing armies, tax-gatherers, lords,princes, and pensioners . . The revenue collected from protec tive duties heretofore levied on foreign goods was felt, not as a burden, but as a blessing and benefit in the protection and prosperity they gave to the national industry ; but repeal these duties, - paid by foreigners for thiprivilege of selling their goods in our markets, open your ports, crush yoni labor, inundate your country with foreign productions, and then resort-for revenue to direct la.retion, and you ennve.rt a blessing into a bitter curse. But ibauk God tho remedy is in the sands of the people! I leave Mr. Walker and free . traJe with "the voters," the "toiling Millions," to settle the matter in their ovvit`way. Mr.' Walker' says, "it wilt soon become an axiomatic truth, that all tariffs are a tax upon labor and wases"—nn American labor-i-a small mistake ; if he 'had said a tax upon foreign labor fdr the protection and encouragement of.4wericats labor, he would have been right. This is a small blunder. He will no doubt revise and correct it in his next essay on the beauties of "free trado." But Mr. Walker boosts that his report of 11145, /published in England by order,of Parliament, "accelerated, if it did not produce the repeal of • the corn laws." Thiii is another blunder. -The corn laws were only suspended . till Mr. Walker .repealed tho odious ants-British tariff* of 1342. That accomplished, and the famine over, the corn laws go into operation, again on the lit of Maieli, sliding scale and all. But Mr. Walker .14a he has not only converted great Britain, but ,Lobs staggered all Europe. Hear him .1 Hear `liime' ,s "Fmrice, Russia, Germany, Austria, Italy, r_rossis, Switierland, Bonnet; Belgium, Den mark.

LABOR, ire IMPORTANCE 1111 D VALUE. Bat, above all, I beg you to protectand cherish your national industry; to protectand sustain it against the efforts of its, enemies, foreign and domestic, to break it down. Labor .lies at the very found of the national prosPenty- 10, bonin every department—in the fields, in the workshops, in the factorietheris' kit and pro serie• it as the great element of your national wealth and independence. When labor pros pers; all other interests prosper—when labor is depressed, all other interests mint suffer and sympat .• • with it. • NV bat, isidlothercapital compared with the =mi -1 tal of_labor. Estimate your labor at one of y ou r population,say two millions of laboring men; If they earn but $lBO per year, this is equal to the interest of a capital of $3,000 per annum at 6 per cent. Which, multiplied by two millions, the number of laborers, makes oar labor capital equal to Biz thociscract millions :of dollars; and this is the great element of power and wealth and prosperity that Mr. Walker would sacrifice and degrade to the wretched astolition.of Euro pean labor, by his miserable (policy of "free trade"—compelling the Americans to work as cheap as. they do in Europe, or give up their markets and their money to foreigners. • As, then, you value-the virtue, liberty, and in dependence of yourcountry, I beseech you pro tect and defend' yourlabor from the ruinoto effects of foreign competition. I call upon the laboring men—the voter. of the rand—to come to the rescue, to protect themselves ; the power is their own hands, let them exert it for their own tecurity and defence., I know what it is to labor—l come from the ranks of the laboring men —I feel for their interests, and I _sympathize in their sufferings; and when I desert them, may Heaven desert me. THE INCONSISTENCY AND DESTRUCTIVE • POLICY OF POLE AND HIS PARTY. MC. Walker next speaks, of his great horror of paper money. "The calathities which must fol low an inflated paper currency.'' Nothing is more injurious, he says, than the expansions, contraction*, an d fluctuations of the paper system." This "perilous and seductive system,' says Mr. Walker, leads to the excessive importation of for eign go ods, (the very thing he has been advoca ting,) end drains our country of its specie, produ cing immense sacrifices;- and , depressing the in dustry of the whole country; acid this eloquent denunciation of paper money and its_ ruinous ef frets is made at the very moment that he is issuing millions and tens of millions of paper money •in the form of Treasury notes, podia now calling on us to authorize the issue of some eighteen or twen tymillions more of this miserable "paper money," which', be say', is so disastrous to every national interest. How. does Mr. Welke' reconcile this glaring inconsistency ? What are Treasury notes but paper money t Worse than bank paper, be cause less valuable in the money markets of the country. Mr. Walker boasts that last year be re ceived and paid out forty-eight millions of dollaiv, all in spee:e. Now, sir, let him issue fifteen or twenty millions of additional Tresiury notes, and next year he will not receive and pay out one init. lion in ercie; air, it will expel specie from the country; this depredated paper money. Treasury notes, will fill op the channel of circulation at home, and specie will go end is going abroad to pay for foreign goodr. With nothing but depreciated Treasury notes, evnlinental money, how is Mr. Walker to get on with his specie-pay ing etib-treasury ? He is bound by law to pay in specie, and has scarcely a dollar of specie in his vault,. He will 1w obliged, by ,his own mad measures. to came here very soon and beg Congress to relieve him from the ruinous effects of his own favorite policy, by repealing the sub-treasury and the tariff of 1846. Treasury nt tea are now one or two per cent. under par, and declining.. Mr. Walker: will `of course, receive nothing else (or revenue. Who wi:l now pay him one dollar in specie? As long as Treasury notes were above par, the Treasury of course re ceived nothing ,but specie . ; but when -Treasury notes go down below pin, then every - man pays in' Treasury notes, twc.suse'they are worth le.is than specie, and the TreaSuri to Sound to receive them at par ; the Treasury; therefore, will not have a do tar of spi de in 'its vaults r ani of course, its pa per. like any other non-specie-paying bank, must depreciate. What gives value to paper money? Converti bilily—couvertibility into Specie on demand. What is yciur suh-treasury hut an overgrown gov ernment bank, issuing millions and tens of mill ions of paper money, without a dollar to redeem it? A. vast non-specie-paying bank, with its pa-, per depreciated, perhaps 15 er.2o per cent. If the issue of Treasury notes should greatly exceed the amount absorbed in payment of the revenue, as they vPill, if you increase their issue to the extent proposed, they most not only sink, as they have dime, but they will go down greatly below par. How are yon then to pay your creditors? . Must they take your depreciated m's, when, by your sub-treasury you promised them specie? But they have no alternative, that or nothing. Is it honest, is it right to force your brave, poor sol diers„ your honest creditorr,your clerks, and hire lingo, to take this depreciated rag currency? Is it right to furce 'the poor soldier's wife to go to the gaol -hearted broker to shave her pittance at the rate of 15 or 20 per cent to enable her to buy bread for her starving children ? To force your contractors to do the Balite thing, to meat their, li abilities for provisiims to - feed your troops in Mex ico I They must take your depreciated paper at par, or nothing. They mast submit toile loss, nod be ruined. Sir, .I can go fur no such injustice: no such vil lianous policy as this. .1 will .give the , Govern ment the right to borrow and pay in good namtey; but not to pay it inJts own depreciated and irre deemable trfiper. I agre - e, sir, with Mr. Wryliter, in much that he says about the disastrous effects of the excessive issues of paper tmmey—its ruin ous effects upon the national industry, its tenden cy to induce excessive imports of foreign goods, and the exportation of specie, which will alone be received in payment abroad, leaving this worthless paper money to fill up the channels of circulation at home. I agree with Mr. Walker in this, and I bold him to it.. I. call on him, in this case, to practice what hopreache.i." - But, this Administration goes by the rule of contrary ; their theories and their measures are always at war. When they preach economy, I. look out for extravagance ; when they flatter the people as the true sovereigns of the land,-then comes a veto; when they cry peace, then look out for war; when they say democracy, look out for aristocracy; when they denounce paper Motl ey, look out fur Treasury notes ; when they say 54 or 40 or fight, look out for "slink out" and 99; whetrthey say no conquest, look out for all of,ttex ico. This policy Of the administration has been more disastrous to the best interests of the coun try, more dangerous to its harmony and its integ rity. than that of any other that, has existed einem the foundation of the Govermffent. Three years ago, when this Administration came into power, it fouhd the country peaceful and prosperous in all its interests; and what is its condition now ? The country has been governed by party and for party. Unable to .re4ard their numerous and hungry,partizans. this Administration has invol ved the country in win. which enables it to sat isfy the ravenous appetite of thousands ofits tyre.. shippers with high officers.: and fat contracts. Peace will loosen their grasp on the peoples tress. ,ury.- Nothing but a failure of revenue—a want of money — an empty Treasury, will givens peace, and this powerful negotiator is near at hand. But let us look back for a moment, what a con trast is presented between the Whig and Locofoco policy. When Mr. Van Buren came into posit-. er he found a surplus of abbut 40 millions its the Treas. - my; when he went out„: he left it about 40 millions in debt; and the revenues 10 or 12 mill ions short of the expenditures, and ruin and bank ruptcy national and individual iirevailin through out the land. In this state of things, t%e Whigs came into power in 1841 ; they passed the tariff of 1842, and the prosperity of the country was re stored, and the Treasury replenished as if by magic. In the four years of its operation it paid off nearly $40,000,000 of the principal and inter est of the public debt, and itka year or two more, after the entire extinguishment of the debt, it would have left a surplus of 20 millions a year for the improvement of our great rivers and, bar bora; affording security to life and property, and giving prosperity- and increased extent ,to our vast internal commerce. ' But this bright and cheering prospect was sud denly overcast by' the overthrew of the Whigs; and the accession of the present Administration, in 1845. Bee to what they have already brought the country ! From a character and a credit so, high as to command untold millions at a premi- UM, they have brought it down so low, that they are now unable, we are told, to' effect a loan of some tenor twelve millions on any terms. Look what the Baltimore Convention have done; that convention . preicribed and dictated the policy of this Administration , in advance—this was done by an irresponsible caucus of artful and ultra poi iticians; with Mr. Walkerattheir head. He, Mr. Walker, made Balk and Dallas what they are ! he built up this Administration; he now dictates its policy, end governs its action. Yes, sir, that cau cus extort,a - a . pltAe from their chief, and made bias promise , in his' =wand, to carry otit their dictation,' The first thing .was the annexatio of Texas, resulting in war. Next, to arrest inter: oat improvement, then adopt the Bub-treasury, and finally; repeal • the tariff of 1842; what bas followed t . Down goes Myelin° . and up goes the rational debt at the Mani. twenty or th irty mill tens a yew. thousands onmillions ives, and of money wasted is &yelp. /and, and who knows THE MINERS' JOURNAL, AND PO'I'TSVILI 3 E GENERAL ADVERTISER: 1 for what 1 Who can tell for what this war is now p ose..Oted, or bow or when it is to end t One thing, however, is very - certain; that it mast demoralize our people, nivolie our country in an enormous debt, result ing in ruinous and "poots• ive taxation, and may end in the dissolution and overthrow of our glorious Union itself; an event; the contemplation of which must fill with honor anddespair the hearts of the friends of freedom throughout the*orld—a catastrophe which, may God, in his infinite mercy, avert kom our beloved country.

As I have from the commencement or the ex: Warm of this Company been. one of the Mana gers, and for the moat of the time the ,active Manager in Scbuilkill Cot:lo7,lMay, be supposed to know quite as much of the management of the Forest Improvement Company as the "Coal Deal. at" (1) who figures in your columns. The Correspondence and Negotiaions with the Mine Hilt and Schuylkill Haven Railroad Com pany have been conducted by me, and It would b e supposed that !should (on rea4jog your paper) have some faint recollection of what passed be tween us. bat really the facts are so much pervert ed bi.your Correspondent that I did not recap- Mse ray own negotiations although your Corres pondent - seemed to quote from [wiener& This is not the first time the Mine Hill and Schuylkill Haven Railroad Company have at tempted to divert public attention from themselves, by endeavoring to raise a dust about the Forest Improvement Company, Two years ago 'they flooded 'Schuylkill County with Memorials to the Legislature—asking them to appoint a Committee to enquire into the management of the Forest 'lmprovement Company, alledging, as Inow, that. the Company' as violatitig he charter: To meet that Memorial I lent to the Chairman of the Committee having it in charge, it copy of uur charter, and urged the appointment of. the Com mittee asked for in the artresaid Memorial.— Then as 'now, the Mine Hill and Schuyllull Ha ven Railroad Company bad an appl;cation pend ing before the Legislature, and if this effusion of "A Coal Dealer" (1) operates as effectually at Harrisburg as did the aforesaid Memorial; you may be assured the application for a rival Rail. road,-will pass triumphantly. But I did not take up my pen to attack the Mine Hill Railroad Qom pony, much as tbey deserve 'it front sae.- They have pursued a system calculated, as , they suppos ed, for their own inter' at, and if they have made mistakes they' must submit to the mutt. addrras you, in-order publicly at once to deny the truth of the allegations in your paper, in reli. lion to the nvgotiations with the Mine Hill Rail- road Company, and so far as I cap, with the Pee' eat means at my command, place said negotiation before the, public in its simplicity and truth.— Fonunately your Correspondent has enabled me so, by giving in bin article or date (Jan.. 1843) for by recurring to a file of my letters, written to a friend in New York in 1843, I have placed my band on copies of two letters addressed by me to Mr. let. Dundass, dated January 1843, of which I hand you copies herewith. The letter of the 4th January, 1843, *bows conclusively that it was the commencement of a Correspondence. That which I had previously with the same party was commenced, and I be lieve, concluded before I went to Schuylkill Coun ty to reside. It is proper,, however, for me to say that in the interval I had a number of into rviews with Mr. Dundee', on the subject of a general reduelion of Toll,, as did others operating upon the West Branch—to all of, which a deaf ear was turned: At an interview (with Mr. Dundass, and Pre. vious to the date of my first letter, (herewith) and in view of en application to the Legislature. for a general reduction of Tolls, said to have been madttby Diet. Fitch; Mr. Dundasa gave me dis tinctly to understand that the Managers of the Mine Hid Railroad wou'd resist any such enact• went. Under these circumstances Loss obliged to abandon, and did abandon the question of a general reduction of Tolle. Then commenced a discussion which resulted in a reqtiest from him that I would address him in writing,and my let. to of the 4th January, 1843, is the result of that interview. In reply to my letter of the 4:h, Mr. Dundass wrote me under date of the 7th, a copy of which I do not find on file here ; tot I du find in one of my letters en extract from it. In to frustrate the charge of partial quotation, I give you a copy of that part of Inv letter relating to • the subject in connection with the extract. . . . .

James D.,..i.r.E.g. ScA C :iv p th y. Li rener, Jon. 4, 1813. Dear Sir: spume three years since I made an application to the Directors of the Mine Hill and Schuylkill Haven Railroad, which did not at the time meet with much favor, and, an far as the Board was concerned+ was treated rather es r slier ly. At the same time I acknowledged that your own letter to me was frank and courteous. At that time I approached you as a stranger, and as you perhsps'had s right to suppose,' a stranger to the Coal Trade and the Mining interest. I may now address you with the belief that you will bear what I have to say es coming from one having some practical knowledge of the Coal trade, and that not limited to the particular see -lion in which our lands happen to be. Your toll,list will show to what extent I em interested, 'and' hear me out in the ;expectation that my preisent application will receive more at. tendon than the one to which I have referred. In the fine Waco I remark that the prosperity of the '. Forest Improvement Company," the, "Mine Hill and Schuylkill Haven Railroad," the " Schuylkill Canal," and the .• Reading Railroad" depends now; (and will more emphatically here. Alter depend) upon the fact that Anthracite Coal from Schuylkill- County, can be delivered in the 'several 'consuming markets at a lees price than from the, other producing regions. I say will more depend hereafter, from the fact with which I am personally cognizant that the prejudice against the White and in favor of the Red Ash fur Emily use, is fast giving way, and the Red Ash weii nut as formerly, command two -or three Dollari or even One Dollar per ton More than White Ash, and the atm, is at band when probe. bly little or no difference will exist. Add to this the fact that the great increase of consumption ie not in families; but in Steamboats end Matiurac• terries; which use exclusively White Ash. The Reading Railroad has dons much towards meeting this change in the consumption, and it is likely that in the natural course of events, the Railroad and Canal will keep that part of the line of transportation es low as it can be afforded, but unlese the reduction between this and Ph Haile!. phis is aided by deductions at ill points, where practicable, the Lehigh and Lackawana Regions will take the lead. It is plain, I think, that unless the production of this Region ni materially in- I creased, there is not enough to give support to both Railroad and Cana/. erupt at MS prices, gad it may fairly be expected that their competi. Lion will result in a war of extermination, in which one or both will fall, and although the Canal and Railroad will still exist, the -Trade will continue for. years in a state so disturbed as to destroy its steadiness, and consequently its efficacy. Cider the fall conviction that the Coal Trade was fast approximating to this point, our Com pany started with a determination to do its part in meeting the other producing Regions in the several markets; first by offering our Lands at a low Rent, but - adding thereto outlays and facilities, which your Toll list will show you, has not been without the proper results. The developments of the past Season in the Coal Trade, and of the course pursued and in. tended to be pursued by the Larlawane, has eat. isfied COQ that the crisis is nearer at hand than I bad anticipated. Quite a number of 'Steamboats hive the lut year consumed Coal exclusively, and moat, if net all, will do so the, coming season.— The immured cosisunation the last year by Steamboats alone, cannot lees than 50.000 tons, none of which (with the single exception of 60 tank) was from the Schuylkill Region. It Is laths's, teams that I nisi inddced at this time to COMO CO you 1M my proposal. , Oar this year'. delivery has been about 40,000 'tons and 1 uk from you a reduction of 10 cents per Ton, on what we may send over your Road. beyond that quantity. We ippon the aame advantages to cur Tenants, by offering a rtiluctia'm in Rent for all Coal delivered beyond the m inimum, which is simply a premium upon the cite:sem of delivery, —*point as desirable to yeti as to us. I make the proposal in this.. .shape in order. to postpone discussing the question of a reduction of tolls on the general business of the Road, which may be avoided for some time by this concession to our Company. It is in the White Ash Region that our lands are situated, and to which oln re marks particularly apply. The Red Ash Veins may or may nett* able to bear your tolls, is the expentus from the West Branch may happen to compete with? the expenses from Pousrflie and Port Carbon." (The 'entitle° here omitted is in - relation to another chartered Company, and is not pertinent to the question at prevent at issue, as your car. respondent, the Coal Dealer" [ll can confirm.) If your—Board entertain my proposition, it is very desirable to me that it should be early attended. to, for the reason that any, material extension of sales must be looked for only by. anticipation of sales to the present customers of other Regions, and I propose to leave home about the 10th or 12!h for that purpose, and it is not only desirable but necessary that I he prepared to'name the low est possible price. , .

[For the Mi9ere,Journa'l Mr. Damn An article appeared in your paper of the 19th Instant, which, as it contained many errors an misstatements, we regretted observing was to a cer tarn extent endorsed by 'yourself. The writer of the article appears to have labor ed under a wrong 'impression as to the cause which have led the coal Operators on th 9 line o -the Mine Hill and Schuylkill Haven Railroad t apply to the Legislature for an 'ict authoririnz the construction of a new Railroad from Schuylkill; Haven to the Broad Mountain. , The to - called " hostility to the West Branch ) , Railroad" had not its origin in the Mimi cilim! Company to grant " partial privilege(' (as it is alleged) to a certain "Coal Mining Company in disgui e " In fact, the applicants foie new Rail road diaclaim being actuated by feelings of hostil- WY towards the Mine Hill and Schuylkill )ravin Railroad C'ompany. We are willing that Com pany should enjoy all the privileges intended to be granted by its charter: bin are not willing those privilegks should he exclusive. Our reasonable request is, that the large expenditures we- have made upon the line of the Mine Hill and Schuyl kill Haven Railroad should not be arbitrarily con wolfed, nor be further taxed,. for the perpose of constructing roads to the other Coal Fields, as we say they have heretofore been, by the constant aggregation of the capital of that Company, mien- Bibb , for such purposes., We object to the doe-. trine that the Mind Hill Railroad Company has's prescriptive right to transport all the Coal Which is now mined and that may hereafter be mined, not , 9nly on the %Vest Branch of the Schuylkill and fts tributaries, but also in the'Swattra c:istrict which, (at is stated in a memorial of that Com pany to the Legislature in 1846) contains "an area of 108 square 'miles . or 69,120 acids of Coal' lands." We do n ot . wish to be identified with anY "Coal Company,' as we have no connection with any, and care not how soon the County is rid 'of all. As individuals we have applied to the Le gislaturelfor power to construct a Railroad, id order to increase transporting facilities for a large and fast growing trade. And to render ourselves leas subservient to a corporation, whose elections have already been so long submitted to, that oar attempts to check their further increase, seem to be viewed, as rank rebellion egainrt its legitimate and vested rights. Upon the files of the present House of Repro. sentatives et Harrisburg, is a bill number 295, passed quietly through the appropriate Committee, because no one interested in opposing it, knew that so monstrous an attempt to increase its prate and power., was about to be made by the Mine Hill Company, This bill authorizes an ad dition of $750,000, to its present capital, and ii only a still bolder exhibition than has before been given of the inordinate cupidity, sio characteristic of its management.. It is to such grasping at tempts at advantages, (the odium of which, the shrewdness of the managers of this institution has hitherto enabled them to cast upon others) that the so called "hostility" of the operator' is to be attributed, and which dates back to 1832, a period seven years previous to the corporate birth of the Forest Improvement Company. In the history, of the Mine Hill Railroad Coln 'pany itself, is to be read the causes of the dlisatia- faction felt by the contributors to its-prosperity, and a referenceSo the pages of that history plaee the subject" sin its true light before the public and the Legislature," The Mine Hill Railroad Company. was char tered in 1828, at the instance and application of parties. interested, in opening the important coal field now traversed by its numerous branches ; and a large portion of its original stock was sub. scribed for by residents of Schuylkill County. The object of the enterprise was avowedly, not to derive a direct profit from tolls, but to open the lands of its - projective to market. , In this view, the rate of charges adopted. was for Mat period a low one, being 1i cents per ton, per mile. The capital was limited to $100,000;, with the provi sion that when the Tolls "ah . obld" "exceed IS ,per cent on the- capital expended, they should" "be winced so as not to exceed that amount." Thus it is. seen, that the pioneers of the under; taking, bad gone of dim magnificent ' end tempt- big schemes of wealth to be derived' from their Railroad, which it now seethe the integrity of its present stockholders, is unable to withstand, but were satisfied with the prospect of moderate profits on their investmeit,• and the .collateral benefit of opening their tends to mita. • It is unrceenary at this; tints to enter into a detail of the contrivances, which 'produced a speedy depreciairn stock, and its equally speedy, absorrioti by certtin absentees, it is sufficient to say 91 at Stock Brokers and specula tors might take a lesson by them; and that 'when the encroachments of this Conipany upon the rights of community began, hut little, if any, of its stock remained in the bands of residents of this County. The Supplements of 18.29, - I€9o. and 1831 were obtained without resistance or objection; but in 1832 r (the getual era of the cominencement of that coL'et 'fir private rights against:the pre acriptive privilegei claimed by the Mine Hill Com pany) another atiPplenient, injurious to the interests of many individuals, was applied, for, and obtained, in the. fare of earnest and continued reureiwttances. From ttuit time, to the-present, the contest, though. occasionally -remitted, has been renewed, with: each of the numerous at tempts of the Company to extend its privileges at the expense of the opera'ors. These contests like most others between-. inedrpoiated ComPanies and individuals, havTheretofore resulted in the isucce=s of the farmer; 'until by ' the-addition of supple ! ment upon supplement, the repeal of one clause, and enactment of another; the original. charter, has been the germ -of a great wrong; and the Company insteall of being satisfied: with .15 per , cent Toll on $lOb,OOQ, now claim that per cent of nett profit on $600,000, and the right to can• struct, a so called' "Depreciation fund," !finked' to no definite amount in the agregate', and its annual accumulitions, subject to no control, either Legislative or legal. This .41epreciatiorj fund" has 'already from , the surplus profit of a single year been swelledby an g aninunt exceeding $14,000 exacted, as we say. unjustly from the operators. Passing over the various supplement* by which the capitol had been swollen to $9OO 000 in 4146, we .reach the act of that year. In a memorial of the Mine Hill Railroad Corripany to the Le gislature, (consequent upon objections, urged by operators egaiciaga grant of fuitaer powers to this already dangerous' institution;] great surprise is expressed, that there should s exist an opposition to the passage of the bill" granting the Company the right. to issue $300,000 additional stock; the ostensible object 'of the application, being to ex tend the Railroad of the 'said Company to the "head waters of the Sivatara.'! The memorial states" that the limits p escribed by the • charter, ts the capital stock have been already 'attained by the recent subscriptions of the stockholders, and which .will not more' than, suffice to meet the cost of grading on that route." lt 'thus appears that the Company not restricting itself to 15 per cent dividend exacted from its customers. on the amount of capital actually expended which is the limit beyond which the charter, says it shall net go—did infact, (liar.° such dividends, upon a sum' then unexpended, sufficient to grade 7 miles of.new road. It would extend the lintits of this trticli too far, to examine in detail, all the valises acts of ocotillo!' and wrong perpetrated by the Mine Hill Company ! Sufficient has keen recited, to prove the utter falsity of the assetron of "a Coal Deal re' that the “opposition has all been engendered and, loitered by the" "Forest Improvement Com pany." Equally untrue is his statement, "that for the first Bor 10 years the Stockholders of the Mine,Hill Company receiVed no returns for the investment of their eapital." Nearly a year clasped between the passage of the act incorporating the Mine Hilt Railroad Compan?, and its orgauiza tii n; nearly two yearn more expired before the completion of a, single track of its main line, to the Broad Mountain! Did the Stockholders an ticipate detivitig a profit out of the construction of theirroad ? ft was then late' in 1831. before a single ton of coal could ',pars over its tortuous length;—yet eo early as 1832. a dividend of 7 per cent was declared, besides leaving -e surplus above all expeplitarts of '51.871 73. , From that period down to the end of 1847, but 11 . single year pas.ed without a dividend being deolared, and but one other. which the dividend was below 9 per centring this time the dividend l'ett. one year was 103' per cant. of anOther 11 percent, of 2 years 12 per cent. each, of ono year 13 per cent. of one year 14 per 'cent. arid of 5 years 15 per cants each.

The statement is incorrect. The toll and trampornulon on the West Branch Road is in reality less than on the Reading Rail Road. The rate now charged on the latter Road from Schuylkill Haven to Richmond 15 SI 50 per ton; which Is nsore Ihnn cents per ton per mile, as this Road I. only about 92 mitre long; and the coal traverses the whole distance, besides its length is in fever of chenp transportation—and the envie farorahle. The West Branch Rail Rind is 251 miles long, including 4 or 5 benches, all of which are' laid down with heavy iron, and all of which they arc compelled to keep in 'repair for the use of the coal operators no the different points on them branches. The whole hulk of the coal panes over only alms:apse miles of the Rood—and by for the largest proportion Comes within a distnnce of aloe miles from hebaylkill Ilaven—making the whole avenge distance of the West Brach Rood. over which the whole quantity is carried, about fourteen miles, on which distance toll 61.1 transportation only is pan]. A4l to this the inerensed expense of transporting on short road. where there arc numerous stoppages and delays; wailing for care, anal the rates charged on the West Branch 17.14 ore liiiinintely less than those charged on the Philadelphia nod Reading Rail Road. If the latter Company were compelled to maintain their 53 miles of Road. and thO coal transported would only average half the . slimmer- we question nibe, thee three cents per ton per mile wtuldpay expenses, and per cont. on the inves.tment, with their present facilities. But what right has the Forest Improvement Company to complain of the rate of toll on the West Branch Rail Road Did, they not ask for and obtain n Charter. authorising them to charge individual operator, who might alscduse their laterals, I} cent toll, end one rent to go to the Collector. The West Brach Roadomly charges tient. toll, and only a half cent for collecting. Sm. lithe latter is grasping and oppressive, the fermer moot be liable to the same objection to a greater extent. The West Branch Company hare invested 100.000 in making these 25 trifles ofßail Road, and stocking It with Engines. This road can transport all too coal offered in that quarter. Now, suppose another Road is constructed at an expense of 8700,00:4, and which most aim be sup. parted, does it not follow that the tax in the a/lama toll■ to be paid by the operator, must be doubled also, to sup- port both roads, and make them pay. This is an impor tant question, particularly as experience has demanstated that the rates of toll and transportation on the short lateral hail Roads in the region'eszmot be reduced below 21 cents per ton pertnflesnd pay for the investmtsct when ,the coal is carried over only portions of, the Road, and any ideas held out to the contrary will prove to be falla cious.

The COmmittee having retired and after •a few minutes returned the following preamble and res. Au (ions Whereas, it has come to the knowledge of this meeting that an ell)art is being made by the Forest Improvement Company, and others, to have a company chartered for the purpose of building an additional' 'Railroad, from the %Vest Branch Cool , Region to in'ersect the Philadelphia and Reading Rail Road, at or near Schuylkill Haven. and believing that such a Railroad, governed ' di rectly or indirectly, by these two chattered compa nies, the former being the owner of about 40,000 acres of coal land, the nitur owner of the Railroad feeding to the Eastern market, would be an in fringement:upon the rights.' of the Mine Hill and Schuylkill Haven Rail Road Company, would drive individual operators out of the Coal business,' injutc the business on the Canal. and destroy the va'ue of property in Schuy kill Haven and the county generally. Therefore. Resolred. That any additional railroad'at or near Schuylkill Haven, is utineceasary, and if made to. connect with the Philadelphia and Reading Rail road, under the control of the Forest Improvement Company together with the Philadelphia and .heading Railroad Company, would have the ef fect of destroYing the , interest of the Mine Hdl end Schuylkill Haven, Railroad Company, and drive individual operators from the coal business, and retard the corers. of the Schuylkill Canal.' RcAolved. That in our judgment; the Mine Hill and Schuylkill Haven Rtlroad is equal to the accomplishment of the object bad in view by the incorporation, and that the road is abundantly ad. equate - to answer the demands of the Weat Branch Region. Resolved, That complaints about the ineffi ciency of the Mine Hill and Schuylkill Haven Railroad company are groundless; rind that in pursuance ofao act of assembly and a requisition by the Operators, the company haw; within the last year, at a large expense. put locomotive power on their road, for the impartial accommodation of all operators. Whether corporate coal companies, 'or individual operators, without regard to whether he coal is to be sent to market by the Canal or Railroad. Resolved, That we view with deep concern and alarm this disguised attempt to create a monopoly by concentrating and consolidating the coal inter est. both..mining and transporbition, within the porcerfdl , gmsp of the two united corporations. llisolved, That the Business of Schuylkill Haven principally depends upon' the reshipment of coal from Railroad cars to boats on the Canal, and that project that is calculated to d feat the business on the Canal .is directly against the in terest of the Citizens of Schuylkill Haven and Resolved, That we regard the contemplated Incorporation act • es a comhined plot to destroy at one fell swoop, the property and interests of the Mine Hill & Schirylkill Navigaton Cumpe• nies, by diverting enterprising industry from her wonted rout, thereby rendering nugatory the heavy ,investments as well as the 'more recent outlays of '4ur Mine Hill Rail Road & Schuylkill Naviga tion companies.
