MEW JOURNAL SATURDAY, JUNE 7. ]B5l 'Democratic! Whig County Meeting. The Democritic Whigsof Schuylkill coun ty, and all thOse favorable to protection to American Industry and Internal Improve ment, are requested w assemble in a General County Meeting. at the Court House at Oi wigsburg, on TUESDAY, June 10th, 1851, at li o'clock. P. M., for the purpose of ap pointing Delegates to iepreent Schuylkill county, in the state ConvEmtion, which is to convent at Lancaster, on the 20th of June, for the purPcL4 of placing iknomination Candidates for ,Governor,Judges of the Su preme Court, and Canal Commissioner, and to make the necessary arrangements for the formation of a Ticket; to be syppcirted• in the County abthe ensuing election. Fellow eitizem, at no period in the history of the country have the Democratic Whigs been so , succesilul „tlxioughoit every section, as they have, been in the recent elections, where the 'contest was - not mixed up with local questions—and it is to be hoped that the Whigs of Schuylkill will not permit any differente of opinion on other questions. un connected with pcilitics, to influence their ac tions in the great political struggle. Prin ciples are everythiogtmen are the mere in struments to cary them out. R. BANNAN. 1 WM. A. HAMMER. • OANIEL FOCFIT. gobsAtt, JoNEs. NICHOLAS JONES. WM. STERNER.

I •-• POPULAR 3IOVK KENT • The age is t9O fai advanced to admit the honesty or disinterestedness of any body, who will ilow-a-days openly advocate the drinking of spirituous liquors. Public opiu ion is gradually, but surely, changing on this J . subject. Men begin to take a practical corn- man-sense view of the matter. They now I begin' to loOk!tipon it in the light of utility.' " Are we really benefitted ,by its use ur are' we the better off by, encouraging others to use it " is the practical question every one is begiuning to ask himself. Upon esatnina tion, he find 4 the taxes of a community in creased iq proriartiou to the consump (ion of Liquor—it creates riot, disorder, and greatly increases the expenses of government, whose bills the ptople.are called upon to foot.

Nor is this- all. So strong is the current of popular feeling beginning to set agiutist this spirit of spreetr4, to say nothing of the general mistrust entertained for an habiMally dissipated character, that a Young man, of stn h habits runs a narrow risk of. losing the confidence of the commun ity, in a htisinesss point of view, or worse, pi forfeiting his . cast in society. There is therefor, in a word, every. thing to lose and nothing fo !gain by such a course. Z 2" THE, Emporium thinks Mr. Hunt too radiCal—too ultra in his Temperance views.

E. The subject is treated of in a manner worthy the acknowl. : edged abilities of the author : llt is well known that numerous accurate experiments on friction have established the law, that 'within the limits of abrasion, the friction is as the insistent weight,- and not as the surface of contact. These experiments. though they have formed the basis of mane calculations of the various frictions of rail ways, and nave been valuable in this depart ment of mechanical science, in establishing minimum results', do not meet' the practical acquiremeuts of railway motions, because in those motions invariably when maximum et: frets are produced, the limit of abrasion is always reached and passed. 01 the friction of moving metals in contact, when abrading eaili other, we have no experiments vtßiat ever. Hence we have no means of calculat ing beforehand, the bite of a locomotive slip am, her wheels upon ,a rail, because then both 'wheels and rails abrade. We know that the maximum adhesion of engines upon dry rails, exceeds all- results of calculation based upon the ordinary laws of friction - , and hence some have been inclined to doubt the accurbcy of those laws that are undoubtedly true, within the limits taken by the initial ex-' periments upon which they,iirere founded.— When engines slip their wheels - on railways, both wheels and rails abrade, lie law of fric tion change, and we enter at once upon a new field, in which we have no exact results recorded, and of which we only kdow that the co-efficient of friction is greatly increased. It is upon. this outline of facts, (which *night be much extended if the authorities were at liantl,) that the writer,' from the ob• nervation of years in his professional avoca tions. has formed the opinion, that beyond the limits of abrasion, the law of friction, as applicable to break blocks atkd the slip of wheels oc rails, changes entirely., and that the bite or adhesion is in sotne degree propor tionate to the surface of contact as well as to the weight imposed. The writer believes this to lie especially the cause iethe ascen sion of heavy gradients by locoinotives, where the sand bpi is always used. In such cases it is highly probable that a mere increase of breadth of the rail, or- surface gained, will augment very materially the bite or adhesion of the driving wheels, though theweight re mains the same. The usualsurface of con tact of wheel and rail has-a breadth of only two. inches, while the wheels themselves have a breadth of nearly four inches. If then, beyond the limit of abrasion, the fric tion increase - in the same ratio to the sur face, (as the writer believes.) then upon high gradients, all we have to do is to fay - down broad headed rails, conforming to the tire of I the wheels, and thus increase hr - once the ad- sion. • , This, of Course, supposes engineers to have surplus steam lower: and such is usually the case with modern locomotives, which, in fact, as now in practice always do, or ought to, arrive at 14e foot of a steep grade with full head of steam : then the Saud box freely used Upon a four inch rail, 0 seems highly probable, will augment so much of the bite of the wheels, as to render high gradients less formidable than they are now. To the above considerations', the writer re spectfully invites the attention of his profes sional brethren, in the hope thatsome of the companies they serve may at ot,ce put this important matter to the test,!and lay a few hundred yards Of rails, four :inches broad, upon the high gradients of some railway do ing heavy freight business. A few months' Use, and a few correct experiments would soon settle the question . ' detiiiitely, and the writer 'knows - scarcely any other, of more moment to some railways. THE AMERICAN REPUBLIC The Paris papers contain a letter from M. Pageot, li:innerly the French Minister in the United States, in the course of which he thus speaks of this country : I have lived fir litany years, in the middle of American democracy. I have been in spired with the most profound respect for its constitution—a work, not of metaphysical dreamers, hut of distinguished statesmen— of virtuous men, of devoted ;Iciti2ens, who sought in the traditions of their country, and in the realities of the situation in which they found thent,elves, the sOlutiOnS that their citizens asked from their knowledge and ,ex perience. They did not confound the part of legisla tors with that of innovators. They had, to substitute for the metropolitan authority that of a central pOwer which could bind the vari ous States of which the Union was to be composed, and they strictly, fulfilled their task. They respected all that was not neces sary for - its accomplishment. : The political, municipal, and civil institutions, of every particular State, where left intact, and it is easy to perceive that the constitution given by Charles the First to the State of Rhode Island and its colonists,Lcolitinued up till these last few years. The edifice of the American republic is the Work of several generations. It is necessary: to dig deep in to the soil in order to find the first foundation. There is the secret of its strength and of its dtiration. There is also a new evidence of this truth, so much overlooked io our days; that the institutions of a people, in order to be strong, independent, and respect ed, must have their.roots in the past. The American people, (let those who admire them for what _they, are not,'. be not displeas ed,) are traditional people-rthat is to say, they recogaise their ancestors, and religiodsly respect their works. I have been also able ' to attest their singular .aptitude for the re publican institutions • bit,, „I have, in the same lime, remarked that . what rendered them so fit for the practice of these institu tions showed their inapplicability to the peo ple placed as ours, in conditions diametrical !! opposed. Effects of the Emigration.—From the commencement of the present spring emi gration, it has been a s ubject of remark that the emigrants generally were .farmers of a better class than those who had lelt_in previ ous•years. It is now ascertained that a con siderable portion of them were tenants hold ing on leases, bound by the: covenant to pay the rents which had prevailed• before the fa mine, and that they have, 'in fact, fled the country, carrying with thenilhe remnant of their property, in order to escape the respon sibilities connected with their holdings. By a- summary legal process, the land-lords are enabled to. ob tain - possession of lands and preiniseadeserted under such circumstances. Many stieh farms are now in the occupation of the la:od-lords, generally for the grazing of cattle orsheep and others have been let to new tenants at a conitiderable abatement of rents from those whi4 had been charged to the fug4ive tenants.-4ish paper. - " —*The growing corn inDinwiddie coun ty, Virginia, has been much injured by a hailstorm which °coined Mt the 20th ult.-- 'the hail fell to the depth of two inches. , THE MINERS' JOURNAL,' AN 6 POTTSViLE;E'''Gr VSINZINS XOTIGES. • nr : Eae4 adire, ander this bead, rill be charged itt for sae voreniee, withot es *delete/mew/ —atrosepa ayietz so advertisement, 50 rev*. • TERMS :or Irma INIEVERs' ZOTIMAL, ' g INGLE ,S[TB,4CpIMSpY.
