. 1 1:7 Tug' WHIG County Meeting, at the
Court House, on
,Tuesday, was well attended
and everything passed
. off harmoniously,
quite in contrast with the row of our " har
monious " neighbors, on the day nefore.—
,The several addresses were received with
_ grea t enthusiasin: the proceedings through
out reminded us of days gone hv. evidently
umnious of a determined fight and a glorious
Whig victory. We refer our readers to the
proceedingq, in full, iq another column,
• THE MAILS.
We learn from Washington . that there is
some difficulty likely to occur about the car
rying of_ the mails between this place and
Philadelphia, after tie first of July next.—
The Post-Master Genera: has. offered the
Philadelphia and Reading Rail Road Ciikatpa
ny $12,475,..1 year for six days service in the
week, which, it is said, is all he is authoriz
ed by law to give. The, Company, it is re-
ported, refuses to accept these terms, and it
they persist in their refusal, it is stated that
arrang,ementS:will be made to have the mail
carried in coaches on the Turnpike as for
nierly. The Post 01113 e Department consid
ers the sum amply sufticient:for the services,
but the Company think otherwise. The
public,,who pay the postage, are perhaps
more interested than either party, aid we
hardly, think they will submit to Turnpike
Mail accommodations again—we have an eye
to progress.
As cheolliil Road company does not pos-
tess . eiclusive transporting privileges, it
has been'-suggested that if they still refuse to
accede to the terins , of the Department, a
mail car should be put on the road by some
contractor, under the same rules and regula
lions, as the present - Tassenger. cars. The
company, by their charter, are bound to ac
cummodate the, public, and they could not
consistently refuse permission to, or place
obstruc:ious in the way of, a -private individ
ual carrying the mail, after they hadposi
nvely refused the contract.
Moreover, Congress is now in session and
the line might be remedied by law, by gran-
tin?, additional compensation, if the amount
offered it really too low. The Legislatures
of• the different States have heretofore made
a great - mistake in neglecting to insert in
every Rail Road charter , granted, a special
- clause, requiring the carrying of the mail at
a fixed price, for public accommodation. -
We may add, in this connection, that the
people of this Region,,so far as we have as
certained their sentiments, do not, want a
Sunday Mail, and they appeal to,ihe Depart
ment not to grant one to any parties or on
any conditions.
SIGNIFICANT.
Of all the Lorofococandidates for the Pres
idency addressed on the subject of the Com
promise Measures, by Captain Scott, of_
Virginia, General Pierce was the only one
that remained silent, and did not aniwer.—
Was this the cause of his nonaination ? • It
would really seem .so, Judging :from the
following : -
The New York ..t.44iing, Post, (Free Soil)
approves of the nomination of Pierce, on the
ground that he did not pledge himself for the
CouiPromise , Measures. We give the lan
guage of the Poq : ; -
- . We never for a moment.. supposed that the Con-
velition would nominate anybody who was of a
contrary opinion. With the majority of, both polit•
psi ties it is the fashion to speak civilly of the
ConipromiSe, and each' party might have been ex-
Mpeled to- pi-esent, as its .candidate for the Chief
agistrite'y, one who, on this point. was found in
rontormity with the majority. The Journal of
Commerce. of this morning, speaks of a.private let
lei of Mr. Pierce; the purport of which was not in
-tended to reach the public eye, expressing his ac
quiescence iu the Compromise measures. Itrnay
le that such a letter was written. It is one UM*,
however. to accept th 6 Compromise, and another
to pledge the influence, authority and patronage of
the Ciller . _ Mazisttacy to accomplish the political
destruction of those by whom the measures which
pass by that name were disapproved. Mr. Pierce
did not, like General Scott, it we may believe the
beasts, which Scott is so fond 01' publielymiating,
procure 'the passage of the Compromise by Con
gress. lie ha* none of the Partialities of paternity
to induce him to employ the influenec of his office
to put down 'freedom of slieeeli on this topic. •
- From this paragraph several. important
° facts becothe evident. First, it seems that
the Locofoco Platform agreed upon it Balti
more was a deception, to which the Free
Soilers - were acquiescent parties, with' - rhe
secret understanding between them and the
other leaders that it does not mean what it
seems,: and that the Free Soil agitation is .to
be freely tolerated in the party. it appears
' also that the shirking; of the " finality"
the Compromise was not an accidental
omission, but — was intended to afford room
for the Free Soilera upon the platform.
The intelligent cdrrespondent of the Not - I/
American, " Independent," under thedate of
June Bth, writes from -Washington as fol
lows:
The Democratic nominations have assumed no
new phase, except that the Free Soilerst,.under the
'lead of Giddings, Preston King; and the like, togeth
er with the Southern Disunionists, have coalesced
and given in their adhesion. This practical fact
illitstrates.more forcibly. than all reasoning on the
subject, what notions are entertained,of the " plat
form" here, and what is the true meaning of the
declarations at Baltimore. - A distinguised leader
(4 . the Free Soil faction, when interrogated brine
flow lie could stedain the nomination of General
Pierce, with an. apparent committal to principles
averse to those which he avowed, answered, he
wouide; support the candidate and repudiate the
Piatfodn. This is the. fraud to be perpetrated
throughout.
The extremes at both ends of the Union have
Limed the hatjhet, abandoned their animosities,
and combined together for. the.purposse of obtaining
the spoils. :Knowing this to be their last chance.
they are desperate, and Will make any sacrifice to
achieve success. Let us then be admonished by
these indications. To disparage the strength of the
, 4 00 sition, meres s o. on account of the intrinsic and
admitted welikrimis of the ticket, would be to' com
' mit a senous blunder in policy. Its negative quell.

During the absence of the Committee, the
meetingwas very ably addressed by J. K.
Clement and J. H. Campbell, Kum:, after
which the committee on resolutions reported
the following:
Believing it., to be the imperative duty of
the American People, to inquire iuto the rno
lives, principles, and abilities of each and
every candidate brought before them, for
their suffrages : and to canvass all Public
Measures. whether.' Local, National, or
Sectional," before affixing thereunto their
approbation; Of disapproval: And WHEREAS,
the National Convention which recently as
sembled at Baltimore furnish, the occasion,
and•demonstrate, the necessity of the "peo
ple," selecting a standard beater, under
whose broad folds all rcao tally without dis
tinction of party,—one who is Anaum to fame,
and whose whole life gives sufficient evi
dence that he has not;, been ushered into po
litical: life, by the action of tricksters and
demagogues :
Therefore Resolved, That we the people
of Schuylkill- county, forgeting past differ
ences, whether political or local, deprecate
the policy' cif casting aside known, honored,
and faithful Statesmen, whose history and
fame haie been identified with the whole
country for some unknown, untried political
partisan. We therefore sympathize with
our political opponents, their sad beteave
ment, and tender to the friends of Cass and
Buchanan our kindest remembrance in the
sad hour of their political adversity and sor
row.
Resolved, That the Whig party % are, and
of right ought to 'lee) proud of their present
Chief Magistrate, MILLARD FILLMORE, who
by . his unyielding devotion to the whole
Union, assisted in calthing the threatening
storm, which was raised by Southern Seces
sionists and Northern Fanatics, and by a
wise and judicial administration of the af
fairs of Government, rendered himself to all
partiei throughout the country the especial
favorite.
Resolved, That in the opinion of this meet
ing, General WINFIELD SCOTT, of New Jer
sey, combines in himself all the requisite
qualifications, necessary for Chief Magistrate
of the United States.
Rewired; That in " Love, Fdelity and
Devotion" to the whole Union, as Whigs,
we recogrige no superior, and we pledge
to ourselves the faithful fulfillment of all the
Comproinkes of Congress, believing, that
'upon the carrying•out of I laws, depend
tlie happiness and perpetuity f our " Glori
ous Republic."
Resolved, That althoug eived by prom
ises, and defeated by the comtnued force of
the " Locofoco Free T ade" members of
Congress, the Whig part are now, and ev
er have been the only tr e friends of " Pro
tection to American Industry "—and we
now call upon all honest Democrats, who
wish to see industry rewarded, to be no lon
ger swayed by demagogues, but to cast their
suffrages for the Whig Nominees,and against
Franklin Pierce, the pledged candidate of the
Free Trade party: being firmly convinced
that, if the principles of the Baltimore Plat
form are carried, out, the Mechanic, Manu
facturer and Laborer may ask for assistance,
but will ask in vain Protection being 7101 C no
longer any part of the Democratic creed.
Resolved, That we rejoice in this and in
every other opportunity of attesting our ap
probation of an economical administration of,
government, and believe that, had the Whig
party been successful in electing their can
didates at our last election, our glorious old
Commonwealth would soon have been re
leased from the ruinous system of taxation:
noilwould :he first act of the Adosinistnt
.A
tton have been to effect a Loan of several
hundred thousand dollars to carry on the
affair's of government.
Resolved, That the " Act entitled an. Act
to increase the State Debt, and feed the hun
gry brigands and plunderers,-who latest our
Canals and Railroads.," otherwise called the
Bill appropriating five millions one hun
dred and ninety-two thousand fuur hundred
and thirty-three dollars, for the affairs of
government and other purposes," should
meet 'the just condemnation of every true
son of Pennsylvania, for it exhibits she best
evidence of a reckless appropriation and ex
penditure of the people's money.
Resolved, That the thanks of the citizens
of Pennsylvania and of the Coal Region in
particular are justly due to lion. James
COOPER of the United States Senate for his
eflicient services and .labor in advocating the
intisochtetion of Antliracite,Coal into the Na
vy sad Steam Vessels of'the United States.
Regio,a,will reward him for his
zeal and
Resolvedi That although the last hours of

idly through his glass—" his star can never
set,"nor the remembrance of liis brilliant
achievements diminish ; they are written
upon the page of history, pad love and afflic
iion for bun and his memory will remain
engraved upon the hearts of his countrymen
and their children.
Resolved, That the Whigs of the several
Wards, Boroughs and Township, meet upon
SATURDAY, August 7th, at their several
places, hereafter to be designated by the
County Committee, and elect from each
place so designated, two persons as delegates,
who are to meet in County Convention at
Schuylkill Haven, at the house of Gem=
KAUFFMAN upon the following MONDAY,
Augtist 9th, to form a County Ticket to be
supported at the next general Election.
Resolved, That the Congressional Con
ferees this day appointed meet the Congres

upon ttie t- day of .-- and
vote pp the first and each and every succeed

County Convention, to represent this District
in the 33d Congress.
Resolved, That this meeting sympathize
with 'and applaud the glorious strugglemade
in behalf of the rights of man by Louts Kos
surn, the greit Apostle of Liberty, and the
Washington of Hungary.
Resolved, That we congratulate THOMAS
F. Altuotten. the Irish Patriot, on his sale
arrival in the United States, and that we
tender through him to his suffering Nation

PSet3IIP 4 .—HIRE:,
At:the Detriodatic Ratification Meeting in
Philadelphia last week, the Chairman, How
George M. Dallas opened the meeting by an
address, in, which he said -
"I have beard it .intimated today, for the first
lime, that Franklin Beres:bad .heretofore, while,
the Constitution of New Hampshire *realm pro
cess of amendment, joined in defending and retain-
Mg the proscriptive feature it contained against
Roman Catholics. Now, gCsalemeo, this is
weak invention of an already frightened enemy; it
deserves at once to be nailed to the counter as spu
rious and base; and I hope, by a simple statement
to crush it al once and forever.
" It is true that the Constitution of New Hamp
shire was disgfaceil by en intolerant end intolera-.
bty odious provision , commonly called The Cath
olic Test,' , which rendered Catholics inelligible to
the Leg:stature and to the office of Governor. But
it is equally true that the must stientiutis exertions
were repetitedly made by the Democracy, perse
eringty led on by two of her brightest stars, Levi
IVixalbury and Franklin Pierce, to expunge an ex,
caption to common right, so utterly, inconsistent
with the creed-and character of round republican
ism. Twice did these . just and' generous cham
pions of civil and relig ious liberty succeed in ob
taining from a Convention. called at their instanee,
and for that very purpose, the abolition of this
" test" and twice (as the Constitution permitted no
change of its provisions. unless ranettuned by two
thirds of the votes of the people) were they de
tested; by the opposition of combined Whigs and
Abolitionists at the
Upim whichi the National Intelhgencer
comments as follows We regret that we
have to correct an error of fact coming from
an authority so eminent as Mr. Dallas, who
in defending the candidate of his' own . party
from political aspersion—if the charge refer
red to be such, for we do not know what po
sition Mr. Pierce occupied on that question
—has been greatly misled in casting upon
'the Whig party of New Hampshire the re
sponsibility .of an odious decision, made by
the popular voice of that Stale, in which it
is notorious that the:Whigs have always
been in a Minority.
The facts in the case are widely different
front What is stated by Mr. Dallas. The very
day '(tn March, 1851) when the people of
New Hampshire rejected the amendment to
their Constitution which proposed to abolish
the property qualification and the religious
test, an election was , field for Governor, at
which the Whig candidate received only
eighteen thousand votes• out of a poll of filly
seven thousand. The vote was as follows:
For Mr. Sawyer, Whig, 18,43.1
For Mr. Diu,wour. Democrat, : 27,123
For Mr. Atwood, Free-Sod, Democrat, 12,0811
Mr. .Atwobd was the regularly nomi
nated Democratic candidate until within a
few days of the Election,- when, owing to his
free-soil predilections, he was thrust aside,
and Mr. Diosmoor substituted in his place:
It is not probable, therefore, that Mr. A. re
ceived the support of many Whigs ; indeed,
it is rendered certain that he did not receive
their support, from the fact that on this oc
casion Mr. Sawyer's vote was nearly the
tame in amount as the Whig candidate for.
Governor had received at the several annual
elections immediately preceding that of 1851.
Now, in contrast with the above vote,-we
insert from - our own columns of the 31st of
March, 1851, the returns ot- the vote on the
several constitutional amendments submitted
to the people. These returns were original
ly„
copied from the New Hampshire Patriot,
and professed 'to give the complete vote of
the St4te, with the exception gone town :

That- the Whigs were not accountable for
the defeat of the amendment abolishing the
[divans test and property qualification was
clearly demonstrated by the Press of the
State at that time, which gave publicity to
the following facts, in contraitiog Vie_votts
given in the strongholds of both parties in
favor of: the amendment. The comparison
is made between fifteen towns of eith party,
as follows:

11111 r • 11 148 Lyme,. 88 51

This table shows that the,above named
Democratic towns gave almost len voles to
one against the amendment, whilst the
Whig towns gave nearly four to one in far
vor of it. The town of Concord, in which.
Mr. Pierce resides, gave 122 votes in lava
of the, amendment to 509 against it.'
These facts contradict the statement attri
buted to Mr. Dallas, and exhibit-the liberal.
ty of the Whigs of the Granite -State in
muclimore favorable light than that of - the
Democrats.

TIEC COAL TRADE FOR 1852
. ~ Y" ~ .. ;..r .•
.The quantity sent this week by Reif Florid, is
35,555 17—by Canal, 21.383 06—for the week,
56,918 03 tons—showing an mcreniv of about
3,000 tons over the supply of last week.
On the first of July the rates on both 'Canal and
Rail, Road will advance ten cents per 'too, and the
price of Coal will also advance at Richmond, at
least 25 cents per ton.
The Delaware and Hudson Coal Company have
advanced the price of Coal 25 cents per ton ou
board at Rondout on all new orders received.
The Boats by Canal were scarce' during the
week—it is now evident that the preifent Boat ca
pacity of the Canal will not average over 22,500
tons per week.
The trade moves on very quietly and regularly,
and the Region Is worked up to its full capacity
with present facilities of mining.

PHILADELPHIA, Office of North American,
8 o'clock, P. M,
The Convention assembled at 5 o'clock.—
The Committee on the Platform, reported al
most unanimously the Platform adopted by
the Southern delegation on Wednesday inor
rung, modifying slightly the,-Tesoltition rela
ting to' the Compromis e
t and Fugitive Slave
law. The Convention is now debatiog
Mr. CHOATE; of Massachnsettaiad General
HENDERSON, of Ohio, warmly -advocate its
adoption. The probability is, that it will
be adopted.
The following is the Platform alluded to
The Whigs of the United States,' in ,convention
assembled, firmly adhering to the.great conserva
tive principles by which they are controlled and
governed, and now, as ever, relying upon the in
teli:„lenne of the American people,lwith an abiding
confidence is their capacity for t•elf-goverranent_,
and their continued devotion to the ,Constitution
and the Union, do proclaim the following as the
political :sentiments nod determination, for the ea
inblishineut and maintenance oh which their na-
°nal organization as a party is effected:
1.-The Government 01 tho United. Slates is of
limited character, and kis confined to the ex-ieise
of powers expressly ;granted by the Constitution,
and such as may be necessary and proper for car
rying the granted powers into full execution; and
all powers not thtis granted or necessarily implied,
are expressly reserved to the States ,thapeetriely
and to the people.
2. The State govennuents shonld be held secure
'n,their reserved rights, and the General Govern-
Bent snstainvil inns constitutional powers, and the
Union should be revered and watched over as " the
°lour liberties."
EMI
3. That while struggling freedom, everywhere,
enli,ts the warmest sympathy of the \Vhig party ;
we still adhere to the doctrines of the Father of his
Country, as announced iu his Farewell Address, of
keeping ourselves free front all" entangling alliances
with Mreign countries, and of never.quttting our own
to stand upon foreign ground. That our.rnission as
a_Republic is not to propagate our opinions, or im
pose on other countries our form• of goverment,
by artifice or force, .but to teach, by. example, and
show by our success, moderation and justice, the
blessings of self-government, and the advantages of
free institutions.
4. That where the people make and control the
government they should obey_its Ccinstitutiott, laws
and treaties, as they would retain their self-respect,
and the respect which they claim and will enforce
from foreign powerg.
5. Revenue sufficient for. the expenses of an eco
.nemical administiation of the Government, in ume
of peace, ought to - be derived froma duty on im
posts; and not - from direct taxes;' and, in. laying
such duties sound policy requires ajustdiscrimma
tam, whereby suitable encourugenient may be af-
Girded to American industry equally to all ciassea
and to all parts of the country. •
fi. The Constitution vests to Congress the power
to open and repair !tutors, .and- remove ob
