SATURDAY NOR:VINO, NOV. I, 1649.
PRESENTATION OF THE BANNER.
Saturday last was quite a gala -day in Pats-
Ville,—thousaods assembled to witnesi the pre
sentation of the Banner to the Rough and Ready
voters of Schuylkill County, as a taken , , - of the
approbation of the Rough and Ready Biethren of
theXity andCoenty of Philadelphia. That wh In
mauled Whig and friend of Schuylkill County,
Capt. John M'Caules arrived, in company with
a portiou Of the, Committee, on Friday evening,:
with the Banner—the balduce of the Committee
arrived on Saturday at norm, and were escorted
to their quarters by a cavalcade of our citizens,
accompanied with .a.band of. music. A band of
more noble smiled frietids of Old Rough and
Ready, we noverinet with.
In the afternoon, our mountains poured forth
:their ,thousands to witness the presentation—
they diere marshalled under Maj. John C. Lea
sig and several assistauts into rank, and, marched
to Market Square, where the Banner- was pre
sented by Isaac L. HASLEIIURST, Esq.-, on be
half of the Rough and Ready, Voters of the City
and Coanty of Philadelphia, in a beautiful and
thrilling address, which we regret we could not
procure fur publication—it was received with
deafening applause. ions C. DiSVILLS, Esq.,
received the Banner in behalf of the people, iu
a neat end eloquent speech of about twenty mi
nutes, in the course of which he depicted our
rapid rise and progress in a masterly manner.—
He acquitted himself with his usual ability.—
After the presentation the immense mass of pee
ple forined a procession, and marched through
the streets, accompavied with the Orwigsbnrg
Band, Ithe Minersvde Band, and the Pottsville
and Mount Laughfee Bands of Music, playing,
"See the conqueeing hero comes,"—to the head
quartersl
of the Central Taylor Club ; where the
Banne'r was deposited. We never witnessed
such enthusiasm in our borough, except on the
night Of the 10th of October. The waving .of
handkerchiefs front fair hands, the cheers and
.
.congratulations of the people, the spirit-stirring
music, ,the happy faces of children, clothed in in
mocence and beauty,. all combined to make an
• Ampre!ssion which will not soon be forgotten.,
The' banner is a truly magnificent affair. It is
made of white satin, the upper part enriched
-with crimson, and the whole fringed with heavy
gold.—On the aide is a full length painting, by
'Woodside, of Gen. Taylor in military undress, in
the fore-ground, with our mountain scenery in the
rAr, exhibiting a Mine, and a train of care, Pro
ceeding, from the bowels of the earth—a furnace
in blast. with canal boats, a train of cars, tropic
ments of war, and symbols of Agriculture and
Commerce: the Hero rests his hand up .0 a
table, on which is his sword,—above,"Bueria V is
ta,Monterey,&c "; - over hishead is a laurel wreath,
in which the Constitution of the United States is
entwinel The Stars and Stripes are gracefully
introduced, and the banner staff is surmontedhy
a large and beautiful American Eagle richly gilt.
Below the painting is the following motto: ,
-•'HE WHO DEFENDS THE RIGHTS OF THE
. NAT lON. WILL SUSTAIN THE IN
TERESTS-OF THE PEOPLE:."

Grzart.trar..N,: In reply to your inquiries, I 1
will briOly state,that ..A Bill for the Relief of
Ireland." was introdueed . into the 'House of Re.
presentatives by Hon—Washington Hunt (Whig)
on the 10th of February. 1847. , II proposed to
appropriate five hundred thousand dollars to pur
chase tood, and to transmit it to Ireland, to
save the people of that unhappy country from
starvation. The Loco-Foco party bad a majority
of about seventy in the House (29th, Congress);
yet Mr. Hunt, though trying almost every day for
a fortnight. could not induce the House to take
it up. In the Congreesional Globe we have, in
the procaellinge of Feb. 25, the following record :
»Bauer •roll IVELAND.—Mr. Washington Hunt
made a strung effort to get up his bill for the relief of
Ireland,ll l 4 the House refuted 7—(Page 311.)
Thug, after a forinigbris begging, before a
Loco Foco House of Representatives, which al
ways »refused" to! take up the bill, while the
poor victims of famine were dying by thousands,
the friends of the measure turned their eye. to the
Senare.• Accordingly, the next • day. Feb. 2G.
1847, Mr. Ciiiteriden (Whig,) of Kentucky. in.
trialuced the following bill, which will answer
your second inquiry in full :
»./.. BILL to provide, some relief for the 'offering
People of Ireland and Scutland."
"Best enacted, kr. That the President of the United
Staten he, and he hereby is, authorized to cause to be
purchased such provisions as he may deem suitable
and proper, and to cause the same to be transported
and tenared, in the name of she Governinent of the
United State. to that of Great Britain, for the relief of
the People of Ireland and dmeland suffering from the
great calamity of scarcity and famine.
Sec. 2. And be it feetner exacted. That the sum of
Owe hundred thousand dollars be, and the name is
hereby appro:triated out of any money in the Treasury
nntotherwise appropriated. to carry into effect this
act.
"SEC. 3. Aid he it farther oaacted, That the Pres
ident of the United States be, and he hereby is author
ized, at hi, discretion to emptoy any of the ■hips of the
United Stated for the transportation of provisions to be
purchased as ,aforeenid."
The bill is nearly word fur word the same as
the bill puled in 1812 fur the relit of. the people
of Caroms, and signed, as kelt and constitutional,
by the President. James Madison. Mr. Critten
den advocated it in an able, speech, as did Mr. J.
M. Clayton (Whig) of Delaware. It was sup
ported also by Mr. Cass in a speech of some
length, promising it his hearty support. Mr. Niles
(Locofoco) and Mr. Bagby (Locofoco). now
Minister to_Russia, both opposed It: (Congres
sional Globe, pp. 512, 513, 514.) The bill was
,read a 6rat and second time, and then laid aside to
be taken uithe next day. I Was very much in
terested in the fate of the bill, and was glad to
have Mr. Cass support ii, as I supposed it would
secure its passage through the - House, where his
political friends had a large majority.
Saturday Feb. 27.—Early in the trey. Mr.
Crittenden moved to take up the Irish Relief bill.
This was considered, as it was afterward proved
to be, the turning pomt in the destiny of the bill.
Congress was to adjourn on the Wednesday fol
lowing. We felt that if we could Only get it
through the Senate and before the House on Satur
day. me should carry iiihrough. 11 it was not
brought before the House till Monday, we ell felt
that the enemies of the bill would succeed in put
ting off all action tie - the adjournment, and thus
kill it by trickery.
Mr. Sevier (Loco) of Arkansas, called for the
Yeas and Nays on Mr. Ciittenden's motion to
take up the Irish Relief bill and the votes there
on were es follows: i .
. Badger, Berrien, Thomas Clayton, J.
M. Clayton, Cuittenden, Evans, Greene, Huntingdon,

The blab bill thus failed, and the Senate pro.

Had he oppoeed this bill on Constitutional

hatred of the Neutralized citizens ae I think Levin
did, he, would have appeared consistent; but to
pledge himself in a speech. to r be circulated for
Buncombe through the country, that be would

not power to pronounce a single monosyllable

hearty support! I was an interested spectator of
all this, end was sorry to see Mr. Cass fail in the
hour of trial. His conduct was so extraordinary
that I called the attention of several others to it;
but I suppose he will not deny the statement
hare-made. All I bare said can be easily proved.
Had Gen. Casa supported the Irish bill ae heartily
es be supported the Three Million bill, it would
undoubtedly have passed. I consider that the
Irish Relief . bill would have made more glory fur
my adopted country than all the slaughter ofwien,
women and children in the whole war. with Mel
tco.
For Gen. Cass, personally, I have no hard feel
ings. I have been honored with his hospitality,
and esteem him se a man; but I have not consid
ered him a Prue and disinterested friend of Natu
ralized Citizens.. When Mr. Polk i nominated to
the Bench of the tiupreme Conn Geo. W. Wood
ward of Pennsylvania, who had proposed to have
no person of foreign birth vote Mild office after
July 4, 1841. Gen. Cass. I am told, voted for that
nomination in Secret tiession. After the remold-
starters merle - by Naturalized Citizens against
this Native-Polk-nomination. I consider that no
friend of the Naturalized Citizen could vote for
it. The Whigs in the-Senate, I believe unani•
voted against Mr. Woodward, and L•rco.
loco Nativism was defeated by his rejection.—
Nearly the whole Loci:Arno party in the Senate,
including, eels positively said, Lewis Cau, voted
for this ultra Native nomination.
Nor rfn I like his uniform friendship to every
thing Monarchical. es seen in his boA on to.
&c. published by Wiley &Putnam in 1841. At
page 64, speaking of England, be says that "The I
greet essential principles of public and privatel
freedom are established beyond the reach of dee
struction." Yet .William Smith O'Brien, for the
mere crime (1) of Patriotism—for his love of
"public and private freedom," is now in
~ tbe meshes of "destauction," andis probably found
guilty of a crime whose penally is hanging and
quartering!
Wh.terrer, therefore. I , may think of General
Cale as a Private citizen—however I may es.
teem hi. biendehip—as a naturalized citizen, I
cannot give him my vote for Preaidant. I prefer
Zachary Taylor. whose brow is covered with
laurels, nourished into richest luzuriaace by I
rish end German blood, poured out and mingled

those Iri.h and Gilman soldiers were wounded
on the battle-field of Buena" Vista, and Santa
Anne's troops were there in superior number',
by Mr. Polk's pea, threatening to trample on
them and mutilate them,. General Taylor said,
"My wounded .4 l amina me, shall not pass
them alive." Of" such fidelity in danger the ne. l
turalized citizens will prove themselves neither I
'unmindful nor ungrateful.
Had it not been far :he Loco Foe° appeals to
Naturalized Citizen s to vote for Gem i

nor 'would I have answered it, even if it had
been. Whether naturalized or native citizens, we

OUR RIMERS AND LABORERS
tocefocoism seems to have a great antipathy
to the Miners and laborers of Schuylkill7-they
are not oven permitted to visit Philadelphia with
out abuse of the' vilest character being heaped
upon their heads. They hive even been termed
the "Alms House Guard" by the Loc-ofocoSpirit
of the Times. We may be poor—but it. was
their rascally measures that made us so—but
these offce•hulders shall not insult us with imp-
city. The following rebuke is i - froin the tinily
Neirs of yesterday : .

work is full and comprehensive, and treats of several
subjects which arc often omitted In elementary works,
among which I was particularly pleased to notice.is that
of "Practical Menthiration." A familiar acquaintance

Mr.,A. Ticknor—Dear sir.:-1 have examined the
Tootles and Columbian Calculators, and from a thr o
conviction of their utility, have introduced them Into
my school... It'is unnecessary for the to particularize
the merits of these works. • Several eminent teachers
have already iu a-brief yet comprelietiolve manner an
ticipated much of what I would say, and they are before
the public. Tc call it the best system of "Arithmetic,"
would be merely repeating what hoe been said of niftiest,
every new publication. All who sive it a fair. uppreju.
diced examination. must unite with me in calling it the
best system of Arithmetic ntw before the public: It
enables the pupil to acquire with comparatively little
exertion, a correct knowledge el Arithmetic.

Some time since. the "Columbian Calculator" was

and having carefully examined it. 1 do not hesitate to
record my approbation of tile "Calculator" in respect
to its matter and also It, form. Under the instruction
of careful and qua idled teachers. there is no doubt but

Mr, Editor I—The acquisition of 'the scittc!e of num

and occuple• the "pine to sehool..• time of our juve

confine himself entirely to them; but oral instruction
should he resealed to. ' We have a great irariety oi sys
terns of arithmetic in use, but for the most part, they
are not exactly w hat I think an arithmetic alt mild he :

what an arithmetic should be, better than any I have
ever seen. indeed I do not see much room or Improve

book or arithmetic for beginners, which in my opinion
is admirably adapted ua an Initiation to this study, and

Mr. Editor:—The grand object inn mine Mrelemen

permanent Inundation. It is selievident, Xhat if this

teacher will become comparatively valueleits, and the

will examine the "Youth's Columbian Calmilitor," will
be rewarded tar his pains. by finding at las'. a work pre.'
