(0" The Tariff.—Nothing, as yet, has been
effected in the -Tariff Reform, by Congress,
although that body Will adjourn in less'than
two Weeks. The .laws of a country are
meant for the Of her resources,
and the encouragement of industry and enter
prise among the inhabitants, as well as for
the' preservation of order, and the protection
of life lad property. If the law-makers
fail to 'comprehend both these departments
in their legislative proviiions, they are mor
rally and legally responsible for the injustice
done the country by their neglect. This is
precisely the position in which Cotigres
should now be estimated. • The resources of
our country, m any one of the three great de
partments, agricultural, mineral, or commer
cial, are acknowledged to be unrivalled in
the whole world ; yet without proper legisla
tion, they must remain undeveloped, her
best interests lie neglected, and the wealth
which shoald enrich and make happy onr
own people, is taken abroad, and lavishly
poured into the coffers of foreign natiorts.
TODAY
Thousands of hap) , freemen welcome the
return of this day,; and rejoice in the ful
ness of heart over the reflections it recalls.
On this day, 119 years ago, Washington was
born. He died at the age orC7, on the 14th
of December, 1799; He was justly styled
the " Father of, his Country." He lived,
fortunately for the :country, at the time of
her greatest troubles. He devoted himself,
with the sell -sacrificing spirit 61 a patriot, to
the achievement of her liberty, rind although
espoused at the most hopeless crisis, he ral
lied about him a valiant little band, and
triumphantly rescued the infant colonies
from the jaws of- the oppressor. He after
wards showed himself no less prudent
as a Statesman, than he had been valiant as a
soldier. As the Chief Magistrate of the little
Republic, his.character was marked with a
promptness and diseretion, in the discharge
of his official responsibilities, that rendered
him deservedly pre-eminent among the great
men of his time, aol the beloved guardian of
the rights and liberties of the whole people.
But it was in, hii private capacity, that
the excellencies of this truly great-man _were
most strikingly developed. There the good
ness of his heart, and -the predominant
moral attributes of his character were shown.
His conscientious ,regard ; for truth, his im
plicit obedience to the wishes of an endeared
parent, his firm adheience to upright and
honorable principle, his strict observance of
justice between man and man, and abOve
all, his constant dependence upon the never
failing strength of Divine -aid point to him
as a model of human. perfection. As a self
made man, the history of the world furnish
es us with no parrallel. His life was one
continued lesson and example. , He was a
man of 'ordinary education, and with no
peculiarly good fortune, save his industry
and good character, to recommend him to
public confidence. Yet he rose from hum
ble circumstances 'to the proudest position.
that. human greatness Could command, and
haslet a name, unsullied by a stain, that
will be handed down, fresh in its immortali
ty, to the remotest iges of posterity.
THE LAWS

others-from attempting their violation.

TILE PRESIDENT'a - PRoc 6ADIA4ION.
- President FithnorOitts issued and forward
ed to Bostoni procjintationirelative to the
meat riot among the colored' population in
that city, for the release of an alleged fugitive
slave; an account of which will be found in
another 'alumu. The.. proclamation was
sent by telegraph. It calls upon all citizens,
whether civil or military, to assist in quel-
Ilistg and suppressing such combinations, and
ihrects that prosecution be immediately enter
ed int&against the offenders, and that " all
such as aided,, abetted, or assisted them. or
shall be found to have harbored, or conceal
ed such fugitive, contrary to law, be imme•
diatery arrested and proceeded with. accord.;
ing to law."
The President, by thus early directing at
tention to this &atter, has shown his char;
acterisuc promptness, in the diScharge of the
high responsibilities entrusted to Jim, as the
Chief Executive magistrate of the govern
ment. His conduct wilt elicit the inquali
\ fled commendation of every good. citizen
throughout the country. • No set of men, of
any color, have aright to trample under foot
the legally constituted enactments of a gin
emment, and- set its authority at defiance.—
They are bound to respect the !aws of their
country, and no reference to any higher

everything works so much "better without it.
So much for the experience of the Pinegrove
merchants. We strongly recommend—the
same experiment to our own.
The effect is obvious throughout the
whole community. There is ,no loUnging
aboUt the Hotels and groggeries—the youth
of the' place spend their hours of leisure in
some rational amusement, out of the way
of temptation—business is more prosperous,
and every thing wears a cheering aspect.
An old'tavern stand or two still remain, btu
the manner in which they are conducted,
shows that they depend on other custom
than groe-selling for support. Their keep-,
ers moreover use discretion is their traffic.
We understand, it is no uncommon thing for
them to refuse liquor to - persons who have
already had too much.. Let us haye such
bar-keepers here and everywhere.
In many of the country distrists also,
through the county, we learn that Temper
ance is in the advance. Tippling is gener
ally growing out of date, and the frequent
ing of taysrns, especially the Sunday loung
ing, is becoming both unfashionable and
disreputable. 'Pottsville which should have
led the way, by setting a good example, is
the last„to be reclaimed-0 tempora, 0 mores!
But Licehse is the great bug-bear-,the
broad shoulder that must bear all the respon
sibility.' SO long as the higher authorities
are willing - to grant licenses, the seller thins
he may us? it, and traffic in the misery and
ruin of his fellow-men with impunity.—
True, there is some shadow of excuse in it.
If the legal authorities of the country sanc
tion a trade which is every day doing more i
than all other causes put together. to bring
want and poverty and disgrace into families,
and to swell the expenses of government—if
they. who are the guardians of the public,
peace, prosperity and happiness of the coun
-1 try,-license such a traffic, knowing its effects,
and they can't help but know them, why,
„very truly, the„dealer may plead the permis
sion of Courts for the establishmenrof pub
lic nuisances. He engages in this lawful
traffic as an ordinary secular business, for the
support of himself and family. But let us
carry the figure a little further. Is he re
•
sponsible only to the law-makers for his con
,duct ? _Does a man only do wrong when be
' violate; the civil enactments of the cominu
nity in which he lives ? Laws have in many
eases been made simply to restrain and con
trol certain vices, which, they could not en
tirely pre vent. Could the rum-seller offer
his license ai an excuse for having caused the
death of some unfortunate victim of his tut& '
fic ? Suppose he be called to stand beside
the lingering remains of the poor, miserable,
dying _drunkard—let him see the helpless
wife, and still more helpless Children, weep
ing over the untimely end of an erring,
though perhaps, a beloved husband and
father—let him read the anguish—the utter
desolation of heart as depicted on each coun
tenance—let him reflect upon the poverty, the
suffering, and worse than all, the disgrace
thus brought upon an innocent family, by the
misfortune of c ‘ one member—let the rum-sel
ler see all this—then ask him if his license I
will excuse him for having effected such re
sults. Will ,it sooth his conscience, or justify
his conduct before Him, who will hold every
man accountable, as a free agent, fur his
deeds, vihether they be good, or whether they
be evil ? There is no such thing as shifting
individual responsibility by legal enactments.
;Each man must answer personally for him
self, it matters little whether he acts with, or
without the permission of others.
In many States, this phase of the subject
is attracting much attention. The License
laws have been entirely repeated in Ohio.—
In Illinois also, the old License regulations
have been annulled, and new ones issued,
but with such restrictions as to render the
traffic comparatively safe. The Liquor-sell
e'r,in Wisconsin, is made responsible for the
support of the families ruined by his traffic.
The subject of Tetiverance is gradually being
more and more brought. to legislative notice
throughoutthe country, by appliCations and
petitions from those interested in the great
Reform. It is also assuming something of,a ,
political character. Temperance Election
tickets are becoming quite common, and in
many places po man can be chosen to a re
sponsible office unless he is a pledged sup
porter of the Temperance cause.
It is to be regretted that the Press does not
lend its influence to this great work of Re
form'as much as it might. Our announce
ment of a hundred thousand dollars annu
ally expended in , this borough for Rum, has
been copied by a tiiamber of exchanges with
perfect surprise. Why, not institute similar
inquiries at home and see how much is ex
pended theta? Put your shoulder to the
wheel and let us utterly extirpate this evil
from the land.
We recommend the following extract, to
mothers—there is much in it for them to
reflect upon:
Mothers, in summing up the thousand re
sponsibilities which attach to your high cal
ling, think for a moment and ask yourselves
if you sufficiently press upon the _minds of;
your children the importance of this par
ticular virtue, temperance. Perhaps I should
do better to use the words 4.total absti
nence," for a child cannot too early imbibe
a deadly hatred towards all kinds of alcohol
ic stimulants, and a dislike even to behold
them. Too much care cannot be exercised
in this important particular; many mothers
totally abstain from the beverage, never
allowicg i; in their presence as One of the
house-hold things,yet the subject is rarely
mentioia in the presence of the little ones,
and they grow up in igioran'ce of the mis
eries caused by this monster fiend,and there
fore, unsuspecting and inexperietced, fall
an easy prey to those wretches whose de
light is in the ruin of the good.
Talk to your children about the horrors of
intemperance; let not a day pass, if possi
ble, without some familiar illustration, some
wholesome advice, or gentle warning. Nev
er allow them to despise the children of the
sot, or laugh at the wild antics of the' poor
.inebriate. Go without syteatmeats, rather
than by using brandy in small quantities
for flavoring, give _than license to quote
your example in after years. .
Better to appear singular and unfashion
able in not offering your friends wine, than
weep, broken-hearted, over the bloated form
which you once called your air and beauti
ful boy and from which the -now ruined
soul h as shriekingly fled, forever. These
may seem little things to be careful about,
but if it had not been for the little leaks,
caused in many instances by apparently in
significant, Worms, the many noble ships
with all their goodly crews t hat: were long
ago destroyed, would today have kept their '
course wain the ocean paths, and thousands
of noble hearts, now silent in the tomb of
waters, have responded yet to the sweet
voices and welcome o f . those they loved.
Neglect not this thing as you value the
undying souls of those precious ones. We
fear-God will hold many a thoughtless moth- .
er accountable for the terrible crimes re
corded against those who "look upon the
wise whoa it is red."

RATHER CAPACIOUS?
A remarkably fine piece of glassware has
been manufactured at Paris, for the great Ei
hibition. ft is a very large decanter, blown
froth very pure and clear material, and suffi
ciently capacious to , allow three persons of
moderate size to sit inside, round a table three
feet four inches in diameter, the height of the
decanter from the bottom to the level of the
mouth is ten feet, and the circumference at
the widest part, thirty feet. The stopper
weighs thirty-two pounds, and the whole de
canter 1388.
That would just suit certain suckers"
we,have in our mind's eye—what a glorious
brandy bottle it would make !
Lt7The New Passenger Station of the
Reading Railroad Company, in Pottsville, is
nearly completed. A number of hands are
no* engaged in laying the turn-out track,
audit is expected that the cars7,,will be able
to run up, and, land passengers there, in a
few weeks.—Reading Gazette.
All but the completed," neighbor—that
will take some time yet, according to the rate
of - progress so far. The turn-out track is
laid, and several weeks ago we heard of the
intention to bring the passengers up, but that
was the end* on't.
CD Opening of our Canals.—The Pennsyl
vania Canal will open tor the Spring trade
oat Monday, with reduced rates of toll, and
the. following low rates of freight adopted by
the transporters, :—Dry . goods 90 cents per
100 lbs., hardware 7v cents, and groceries
73 cents.
It is to be hoped that other transportation
companies will follow the example in the
'reduction of the rates of toll. Such a change
could not be otherwise than beneficial to the
whOle country.,
[l:7opposition to tile Su'eep.—A Mr. Hen
ry Smart, is now exhibiting-in Washington
a patent chimney-sweeping•makhine. The
_English Parliament gave him`a patent for it
in 1842.
CU - Good Fat Mutton.—Several Sheep, of
the "Cotswell Breed," raised 'in Chester
county, were brought to the Philadelphia
market, last week. The heaviest weighs
350 lbs. and the lightest over 300 lbs.
r Jahn B. Gough, the celebrated Tempe
rance reformer, has been lecturing at Pius
burgh. It is said Three Thousand persons
have signed the pledge.
g'lVit'a Motive Poker for the Fast Pres
ses.—The Boston Traveller says this monster
press (Hoe's printing press) is driven by a
by a novel and most convenient and power
ful little machine, which is seen on the right
of the printing press, consisting of a small
cylinder,with cog-wheels and pulley attached.
EiEl
It is called a water metre or power metre,
and was invented by Mr. Samuel Hose, of
this city, well known for his efficient labors
as assistant superintendent of the Cochituate
water works. This machine was originally
used as a water measure,and this is the appli
cation of it as a motive power, it being found
to possess this power to a most unexpected
and extraordinary degree. This metre, or
water wheel, is driven by the Cochituatc
water, introduced from a six-inch distribu
ting pipe, through a two-inch lead pipe, and
the flow of the water is regulated by means
of a screw gate near the metre. This wheel,
though so small as to occupy only about
twenty-four inches of room, affords about
three-horse motive power.
The press of the New York Sun manu
factured by Col. Hoe is now in operation,
printing 20,000 copies per hour. It is the
largest printing press in the world.
jJ ' lmportant 44rrest.—Oa Thursday last,
Col. Jos. Ottinger, and Mr. Spencer, special
agents of the Post Office Department, arres
ted, at Wilmington, Del., the chief clerk of
the Post Office in that city„ Mr. Samuel
Flinn, on the charge of robbing the United
States Mail. The accused was taken before
Judge" Hall, of the United States District
Court, and held to bail' in the sum of $3,000
to answer at the next term of the Court for
the offence. Numerous letters on 'the line
between Baltimore and Philadelphia have
been missing, containing large amounts of
money.
More Free Trade Works.—Ao:torres-
Flondent of the New York Commerhal says :
At the close of the last session t y t ook a
brief tour of Pennsylvania, and at Harris
burg, within sight almost !of 45 domestic
furnaces] fourid Scotch pig metal lying at
the warehouses, ready to be converted into
bars, instead Of the product of our own

We have taken the trouble to procure the

be seen at our office, by those who desire cor
rect information on the subject.
)7 .Veto Jersey Senator.—There has been
touch excitement in the legislaturesonse
(mem upon the.choiee of the U. 'S. Senator.
Twenty-five ballojings were had up to Wed
nesday without success. Stockton had the
highest number of votes-39; 40 being neces
sat), to a choice.
Improvement Companies.—We learn
from Harrisburg, that no Bills, incorporating
Improvement Companies, to be located in
Schuylkill County, can pass the Legislature
at this Session. All our immediate Repre—
sentatives, in accordance with the expressed
desire-of nineteen twentieths of the whole
population, will oppose all such projects.
Fickle patronage.--A motion was
made in the lower House of the State Legis
lature some days ago, to veto the order gives '
the Clerk at the opening of the session., to
subscribe for three copies of the Daily Ameri
can for each member, du the ground that it
had published a burlesque on Daniel Webster.
and favored the \Vhig party in the report of
the proceedings. It was lost by a vote of
34 to 48.
Da - Prussian Kindness lo an American.. 7 ._
Letters from Berlin, Prussia, announce the
recent death of Jno. B. Arden, of New York
city, by an accident on the Berwick and Col.
ogee Railroad. To show the sympathy ot.
tbi inhabitants for the deceased, it is stated,
that his remains were buried in a lot of
ground formerly purchased and owned by an
Americao,that he might be interred,as nearly
as possible. in his native soil.
Li - Railroad Accident.—An accident oc•
cured in the bolting of a coal 'ear on Thurs
day afternoon last, about two miles below
Hambiirg on ,the Relding Road, by which
the bridge accoss 'the stream there was
dif
abled. A temporary trussel work had been
put up after the freshet last summer which
has not been replaced since. The passenger
train which left this place yesterday morn;
ing returned, the passengerspfreight and
mails being exchanged between `The up and
down' trains ,at that place.
a-i — Our nest Governor.—The Locofocos
are looking about for the luckiest man as
their candidate in the next Gubernational
contest. Wm. Bigler, Esq., of Clearfield,
seems to be their choice. The Whigs through
outithe State, have almost unanimously se
lected Gov. Johnston. •We certainly regard
him the strongest man that can , be brought
into the field, and all parties concede him to
be the most talented, efficient , and honest
Governor we have had since the days of Si
mon Snyder.
I] - "Farmers Bank of Schuylkill County.—
This Institution, now located at Schuylkill
Haven, will early be removed to Eottsville.
Arrangements have been made to that effect,
under a law paskd last year authorizing
such change. The dwelling house of Mr.
James C. Oliver in Mahantongo St. has ben
purchased for that purpose,at a cost of $7,500
and the necessary alterations will be made
immediately. It is a large building, pleis
antly situated , and well adapted, we would
think, to the uses of a Banking establish
ment.
G:7What means a ?—What is the matter
with the Press in Philadelphia and the valley
of the Schuylkill ? With but two .orthree
exceptions, the project of a new road
from the Coal Region to Philadelphia has
been scarcely mentioned, although Philadel
phia and the whole line is deeply interested''
in the new road, and a Bill has been reported
in the Legislature in favor of incorporating
a Company to construct it.—Why so surdi
ously avoid even mentioning the subject as
an item of news ? The people in motion.
and the Press silent is not this an unusual
spectacle ? Is it not passing strange ?
50-tf
ri'Gen. Scott. for the Presidency.—Dr'
monstrations are making over the "whole
country, and particularly in Pennsylvania
favorable to Gen. Scott as the Whig candi
date for the next Presidency. In Bedford Co.
of this State, a Locofoco paper has hoisted
his name at•the mast-head—in accordance,
the editor says, with the wishes of his patrons.
Judging from the signs of the times—an in
fallible weather-cock—the old Hero would .
sweep the Keystone like a breeze.
r3:7- Gen. Scott's Humanity.—A Mexican
historian of the war, in a late work published
in the city of Mexico, has made the fullest
concessions on this point, saying of Geneial
SCOTT that'•" His humanity on all occasions.
" his kindness, as evinced to every individual,
" and his sympathy and attention to the sick
and wounded, endeared him to the whole
army—officers and soldiers. In fact, the
" very generosity and excellence of his heart
" led him sometimes too far, and he has since
reaped in ingratitude the good seed sown
" in the fulnesssof his noble sensibilities."
rtThe Death Penalty.--The power of
public opinion in Michigan Abolished the
pena:ty of death for deliberate murder, near
ly six years ago, and sufficient time has
elapsed to give their imprisonment , theory a
fair trial. The opinion seems to be gaining
ground - , that under the new
_law murders
are much more frecinent than under the old
one, and the circumstances attending than
much more atrocious. The_ results of such . '
an expetiment are important, and evel7_
opportunity should be afforded to give it a
fair -trial.
