SATURDAY, APRIL S. 1852.
a:7- To Strriscrams.—We have found it
necessary to put a new carrier on one of our
routes. Should any of the subscribers not
receive the Paper, they will please notify us
ag' WE Ain indebted to Hon. JAMES COOP
ER and Hon. I. LETCITER of Washington,
and Col. SIi.EY, House of Representatives,
Harrisburg, for publiC documents.
07 WE HAVE 'been again disappointed in
procuring a suitable cut for the article we ,
have prepared on the Coal Forinations of the
Region and hence are compelled to defer its
publication. We are indebted to several'
friends for valuable communications on the
subject—they shall be heard in due season.
WHOSE FAULT t
For some time a number of our subscribers
at a distance, have been complaining of:not
receiving the Journal regularly. We have
quietly borne their charges, however, know
tog-that accidents trill sometimes occur, but
they have at length grown too frequent to
remain unnotic Whether Or not we may
remedy the evil, vi l e, wish, atleast, to place
the blame to the proper account. Our mail
packages arc carefully directed andyegularly
'taken to the Post Office on f riday nights or,
at most, before the mail closes next morning
—so that if they fail of their.destination, the
fault r is evidently not with us.' The St. Clair
packet, we understand, does not reach that
place, frequently, until Monday—tiro miles
to four days ! A complaint is, also, made
that the papers instead of being delivered at
the Way-stations, along the: line, by the
dotvii-train on . Saturday morning, are fre
quently carried to Philadelphia, whence they
• are not returned till Monday or Tuesday.=.•
We simply present these facts, as they are
charged upon us, in -the shape of complaints,
- leaving it for others to discover where the
blame lies.
LOCOFOCO LEGISLATION
Congress has now been in session nearly
five months, and as yet, very little practica
legislation—for the general good of the.couti,
1. try—has
_been . effected. President:, , making
seems to. engross •the principal attention of
:he members-,-business, that for which the
people elected them, is laid to one side, as a
1 matter of secondary consideration. The con
sequence will - be that all the important mea
sures, which should have been dispOs.eti of
•
Icing ago, will be crowded into the last few
days,. or pe'rhaps hours of the session,!and
then hurried through in some imperfect, in-
considerate form—half the members not
knowing in •reality what• they are voting
about, We wishlci call the attention olthe
4 people to this subject and point out to them
that this waste of time and of public money,
I should be placed mainly to the account of
the Loeofoco party, since they have the ma
iority"in both Houses, and are, therefore,
- able'to control the wheels of Congressional
machinery..
OUT OF ORDER.
At the Whig Caucus meeting, in Wash
ington, this, week, for tliepurpose'of deter
mining the time and place of holding
tie Whig National Convention, an attempt
was made to introduce resolutions; laying
down the Compromise measures as one plank
. in the platform upon winch the future can
didate should be pledged—they were, very
properly, ruled ont of order. What ngl
had that caucus, and still less a very sma
:4. portion o . 'o, evidently more influenced by
-:;;. personal motives than fur the general good
of their political friends, to dictat; principles
'fol. the Whig party of the whole_kountry to
act upon ? And besides, that was not the
business of the meeting. Bepatient,gentle
men, till the proper time arrives, when, you
may rest assured, a platform of sufficiently
patriotic dimensions, will be erected to ac
fummodate an honest Whig host, numer
' ':tolls enough to elect the Hero of Mexico and:
haVe a few thousand votes to smother the
mat-contents with, besides.
THE MAINE LAW
It was said by the opponents of this law,
that thonsarrds of people were leaving Maine,
taget rid of its oppressive 'effect. In Port
land, at the reeeut election, Mr. Dow received
nearly two hundred votes more than he did
when he was electvl, and Judge Parris_ re
ceived about one thousand mpre cotes than
thd "Afr. Duw's former opponent.
Another misrepresentation is, also, cor
rected by the fact that Judge Parris is a Tem
p, ranee nian—Mr. Dow's defeat, therefore, is
not a Rum triumph. No man can take a
leading part in any Reform. however bene
ficial, without making many , enemies; but
it is - no disgrace to forfeit the friendship of
such persons.
Another fact, equally significant, is that
four-fifths of the towns in the State elected
supporters of the new Liquor Law. This
don't look like taking the back track.
GLASS-IV ARR. MANUFACTORY
A correspondent of. the Germantown Tele
graph states, " that a company of very en
terprising individuals has organised, at Con
'holiocken, on the Schuylkill, for the pur
pose of making a kind of glass-ware from
the 'refuse or cinders of the 'Marion Blast
Furnace.' Their intention is to manufacture
coffins, table-tops, mantels, door-knobs., flag
giag, as well as kitchen and other utensils.
The enterprise, you will perceive, is a novel
one, and if paccessf9l—ol which there ap
pears to be little dou;bt—must be of univer
sal benefit. Thus Arhile the manufactured
articles must disace much that is now in
use, the worthies cinders suddenly become
a substance of vali.te. • So much for the dis
coveries of science—and Where they are r`o
end, time 'only can discover." -
We believe, however, that the manufac
ture of ware from coal cinders, is not new-1

traordinary size is published weekly on silk.
It is said to have been started more than a
thousand years ago—somewhat earlier than
the one under the patronage of the " good
Queen Bess." An ancedote is related to the
effect that, in 1769, a public officer caused
some false intelligence to be inserted in this
: newspaper, fur which he was put to death.
Several numbers of the paper are preserved
in the Boys' Library at Paris. They are
each ten and a quarter yards long.

STATE LEGISLATURE
IfousE.—:The Apportionment Bill from the
Senate was taken up, on Wednesday : , and
after much discussion, in which the entire
original Bill was stricken out and another,
entirely different in its features, inserted,
which will give the State 11 Whig and 16
Democratic Congressmen—it finally passed.
No action has yet been hadupon this in the
Senate.
A joint resolution fixing Thursday next,
29th., as the day of adjournment, passed on
Thursday.
The Bill incorporating the town of Port
Carbon into a Borough, has passed both
branches of the Legisiature.
NEWS FROM EUROPE.
Liverpool dates, by the Asia, to the 10th inst.
Business generally has been partially sus
pended on account of the Easter Holidays.
It seems the. U. S. Tariff Bill of
.'46 does
not confine its ruinous effects to our own
people—the Manchester Commercial Asso
ciation have complained to the English Gov
ernment that it injures their trade with the
kingdom of Siam. They state that -English
merchants who import tea from Siam into
England are shut out from the American
market, because, on entering an American
port from England, the tea is charged with
a duty of \4O per cent.,although itmay be im- _
ported direct duty free. The English mer
chant is thus kept out of a second market,
unless he import all his tea in the first in
stance to the United States; and America is
thus becoming the .emporium of the trade.
The same disadvantages apply to coffee and
some other imparts.
The Arctic expedition, in search of Sir
John Franklin, was to have sailed on the
15th. A supply of '2O-pound canisters of
gunpowder, to be exploded by galvanism,
has been placed on board the vessels for the
purpose of breaking up the ice, and forcing
a passage fur the steamers through Welling
ton channel.
In France, the sig . nificant tone in which
parties supposed to te in the confidence of
President Louis sneak, respecting imperial
ism, leaves it a settled belief in the public
mind that the Empire will be re-established
on the first favorable opportunity. General
presentiment even points to the sth of May,
the anniversary of the death of the Emperor,
as the date on which the.. President's next
coup will be made, workmen being ;engaged
in clearing and levelling the Place de Car
rousel fora review of all the &Wary 'forces
in Paris on that day.
LOCOFOCO LEGISLATION.
Some of the beauties of Locofoeci legisla
tion have just been developed at Harrisburg
this week. Governor Bigler vetoed, very
properly, no doubt, eleven Bank Bills, that
had passed both Houses. This is an age of
progress—perhaps we shall be able to dis
pense with the Legislature altogether, after
a while. The Message accompanYing the
veto is a sound and ably-written dcieument
(1:7 STAND FIRM. -A Connecticut corres
pondent of the New York Tribune, explain
ing the recent defeat of the Whigs in that
Slate says :
"The result ..,hows that in all towns' tchere the
Whigs met the MAIN imie, tendered then: by the
Loess, the Whigs have„bern successful; to all
town., however, where the \Vhiga were;timid and,
Irresolute regarding that issne, we are defeated."
Other accounts from various places in the
State, confirm this view of the case—it
teaches this important lesson, that the friends
of any cause must be decided and roe the
mark " if they expect to succeed:
fr 7 A NEW WORD.-A correspondent of
the Albany Journal suggests the word "Tel
egram," as a substitute for telegraphic des
,-patch, or any other phrase ordinarily used to
'represent a communication received by tele
graph. The word is formed, he says, ac
cording to the strictest laws of the language
.
troth which its root comes. Telegraph means
to write from a distance—Telegratn the wri-
dog itself, executed from a distance; Mono.
gram, logogram, &c., are words formed on
the same analogy, and in good acceptation.
n"" " EFFECTS OF Loioroco Rui.E.—The
Sheriff of Clarion comity advertises that he
will' offer for sale on the first day.of May.
sixty-nine separate pieces of real estate em
bracing NINE furnaces, several Mills, and
many well improved - turns. The descrip
tion of this property fills nearly six columns
of the elation Register."
Who wouldn't singpeans to a Tariff poll
cy,Which was forced upon Pennsylvania by the
basest fraud, and is now almost beggaring
an entire class of her citizens, that a similar .
class of men in Eurcipe may grow rich upon
the bounty of our citizens? Let it be a chil
ling curse upon the Locofoco party, that their
counsels and their votes brought this mon
ster into being.
[I:7PETITION.—The following petition,
