The following rem o nstrance, against the

presented to the Court:

This was signed by 59 persons, all of
whum'are Miners and Laborers, except 5 ;
besides, several of the most respectable citi
zens of the Countv,.rPositively testified that
no such House was' wanted there—yet the
( - Quit. granted the license. It is a known
fact, that the neighborhood of this Tavern's
location was, sometime since, regarded as
one ofthe most dtutiken,and disorderly' sinks
of infamy in the whole County--,rows and
riots were of frequent occurrence, terminat
ing fatally in one or more eases—no • visitor
ventured near there, unless properly armed
to protect himself to the last• extremity. So
famous had this place become; that general
public attention was turned to it, and a num
ber of infinential citizens interested them
selves in the work of its reforthation, fir
the protection of property:and life. An im—
portant change had already been effected, and
IMpes were entertained that the main ends of
this object would be finally
„accomplished ;
but the Court, by this one act, notwithstand
ing the earnest remonstrances of Many re
gpectable citizens, to the contrarp, is hkely,
-
not only to undo all the good that has been
effected, but to make the place even worse, if
possible, than before“.
stmt ar outrage was committed by the
2ourt, to lieeneing a certain House in Pint
'rove Township. Several persons came
forward, in open Court, and testified, not
cub; to ;he utter uselessness of such an es
tahhshinent, ,but to the positive evils that
would surely result from it. Among . these
persons was an aged. woman, whO, by an
affidavit sworn to before a Magistrate, por
trayed„in a most louching description; the
ruin of her son by such houses,-how that,
notwithstanding, her repeated remonstrances,
he had been enticed- to spend his money
there, and had even pawned groceries, given
him fry her for the support of his family,
had lain drunk, day
after and Bundays alike,
while dren .were near starv
ing fur want of the commonest necessarlei
of life—and yet this, house,- too, was licensed.
We always supposed that Courts of Justice ]
were intended to prevent, and not to enconr
aige crime and Intemperance.

10^ The `Drama. 2 --A series of theatrical
performances have been given at the Town Hall,
daring the week. The corps of perfOrmers com
prises several names well known to the patrons of
the Drama in Philadelphia. So far, they have
drawn Crowded houses. Their bills are renewed
every clay, pretting a pleasant variety both in the
style of plays, .nd the cast of characters. The
Hall has been fitted up with an enlarged staging,
scenery, ,Sze., giving it a highly improved appear
ance and producing quite a theatrical-like effect up
on the audience. The company deserves to be pa
tronized—those of our citizens who have not al
ready witnessed any of
. their performances should
take the earliest opportunity of attending—those
who hare been present need no urging—they will
go again, without any recommendation on our
part. The Bill for this evening will be found
in another coluinnthree plays for one evening—
all highly intereseing—a full house may be expec
ted.
Sri.' Scott and Graham Club.—The Exe

paper, that a meeting of the Whigs of the Borough
will be held this (Saturday) evening, at the House
Of DANIEL HILL, for the purpose-of taking the pre
liminary steps towards the organization of a Scorr

nounce that a similar meeting will be held Mille
Exchange Hotel, on the Thursday Evening follow
ing, Ist of July, at S o'elock, for the further perfec
tion of these arrangements and the permanent es
tablishment of the Club, to be continued during the
Presidential Campaign. Let us have a full attend
am-c and give the ball a lair start. Wo have a lea
der that never was whipped—all that is wanted
now hi' that 'the privates should do their ditty and
tho victory is most assuredly ours.
Summer Hats.—Mr. T4PPEN of the
new Fiat Store, Centre Street, two doors above the
Miners' Bank, has preyed, beyond question, that
"some things can he done. FIR well as others"—the
Tappen tia;s are already all the go. The stand is
a peculiarly favorable one and Mr. T. seems to be
-making the most of it—customers have beenillock
mg in upon.himirbm all quarters, since the first
day of his opening. lie received a fresh lot of
Beavers, renames, Straws, &c. sonic days ago—
his stock now consists of every variety of hats,
both in quality and style. Mr. T. keep+ up with
the progre.sive spirit of the age—he understands
ilie modern way of doing business and making
fortune: , —l e e advertiscs. Read the " New Hat

taken a'room at the Town Hall . , and is now engag
ed in giving lessons in this interesting and healthful
exercise. He also teaches the use of the Small

Mr The Legion of Saturday thus describes
the interesting religious ceremonies in that place
on
.. lhe Sunday previous The religions service
connected with the laying of the Corner Stone of
the First Presbyterian Church of this place, on
Sunday last, was highly interekting. The ceremo
ny of laying the stone was conducted by Rev. 11.
.1. Vandyke, of l'ottsville.' Rev. Blackwood,
of Philadelphia, was expected to be present to par
ticipate in the ceremonies, but MO prevented.
Mr. Vandyke delivered two of the most eloquent
and candid sermons we hake ever bad the pleas
ure of listening to. I
. We were much pleased with
the Rev. gentleman. The, collections and contri
butions both morning and afternoon were very
good."
A copy of the Holy Script ureti,ltooks, newspapers,
American coins, 4:c., were demited in the Stone.
The regular Reporter of the Legion, also, pays
dies , . Mr. Vandyke a handsome compliment—al
luding to the same ceremonies, he' says, " and in
justice to the preachr, I must say it has seldom
been my pleasure to listen to a better and more elo
quent sermon than the one pnrached by Mr. Van•
"dyke, of Pottsville, this morning. It was rich and
powerful, abounding with sublime scriptural illus
trations and sound doctrine."
THE COAL mnApn FOR 1852
~
The quantity of Coitl sent by Rail 'Rend this
week, is .18,591 03—by Canal, 2.1,011 OS—for the
week—O2,63s 17.
Boats were plenty during the week, and the
shipments are heavy both. 14. Canal and Rail Road,
amountkag to 62,1335 11 tons. This exceeds, by
abOut 3,3110 tons, the largest iitiantity ever sent from
Schuylkill County in any tike week previously: .
The foul air, which was rapidly collecting in
some of the Collieries, by the execs:lre heat of last
week, has, been liltecked to a great: i extent, 4 1 the
remarkably cool Mal pleasant weather whielk,bas
prevailed for several days past. This is fortunate,
as in `a Manlier of our deepest. Collieries the lire
damp is - vir - y troublesome and dangerous in ex
treme hot-and sultry
The Lehigh Region has sie.t caught up to 1a.,4
eaes shipments to the present time, and .show l ing
also an inert-awl of a little riving two t houmnd tons.
This Company has stopPed taking orders for future
delivery at any price, until their present engage
ments are fulfilled. For immediate delivery they
will take a limited 'number of orders, so as not to
materially interfere with the supply of contracts
already made, at an sidvaim`e of twenty-five cents
per ton.
Coal is crowding klittle into tb,e....New York mar
ket, but all the other inarketS not reached by Pouts
the scarcity of Colleens have kept bare, and there
is no supply on hand except for immediate use.
We hate received no returns from the Del
nware and Hudson Canal Company. They keep
their business very close, and, judging from the
small dividend recently made, it is believed that
the increase in the supply of Coid will be tint small
from thatquarter this year. The trade commenced
rather later this season than temal. and their capacity
to supply Coal. like all -e4r 'Regions, was not
much increased since last year. ,
The competition for the 'premiums uttered by
the Selwylkill Navigation to those who make the,
greatest number off trips between the Coal Re
gion and New York, is waxing warm, particularly
for the highest premimn. there arc two compet
itors for this premium—Nres,;trs. Aldridge and Con
nelly. Aldridge is two or three days ahead of Con
nelly, and they arc both on their eighth trip 14 New
York. Aldkidge made the last trip to New: York
iand back in Only len ontt a half days. Seventeen,
eighteen and even twenty days was the time for
merly occupied in making this trip. Aldridge is an
American and Connelly an Irishman, and every
fit
cility is given by the friends of both parties to aid
thew on the line of Ca nal,,eYen to the gii•ing•up of
their turn at the locks. One of the boats was sera
the other day with no less than eight horses attached
to the tow line. Connelly, we, learn, haS been
loaded three times on Sundak. Aldridge; refuses to
load his boat on Sunday. ROM boats, on their arri
val here and in New. York, are loaded and unload

ELOQUENT ADDRESS:
We . invite particular attention to the fol 7
loiving address by Hon. ROBEra T. CONRAD,
before the 'Whig Ratification.rneetirig in Phi
ladelphia. on Monday evening last. It is
eloquent' in tribute to the life and public ser
vices of the gallant SCOTT, at the same time
it is severe, thdugh truthful, every word of
it, toward his political opponents.' -Judge - C:
said :
‘‘lt would need the voice of the thundei
to speak to the heaving ocean of hunianity
that spreads before me;, bqt I' will try it, if
you will heir me for mycause, and be silent
that yott may hear. It is My duty to be
brief; for I detain you from the older and-bet
ter soldiers of the cause, our distinguished
brethren of the South and West, who are
present, and will address . you. lam but a
rocket sent forth to light up the field for 'the
discharge of the artillery that is parked for
this, the first field of the campaign. And
roud ain I of any cart in a struggle so glo.
ous ; for the light of IS-tO and '4S is again
sh • • upon our path, and the spirits of the he . ,
roe- of Tippecanoe and Buena Vista marshal
their compatriot and brother of Lundy'P
Lane • the triumph that awaits him. •
We a e called upon to respond to the nom
'
ination o the war-scarred SCOTT.. And we
do responi no; in the acclaim of our voices
alone, nor • the discharge of our cannon,
but with our Carts, the hearts of a true and
grateful people , We do respond—promptly,
as he has ever responded to the call of his '
country—loudly, as the cataract voice of Ni
agara answered to \the thunders of his artil
lery at Chippewa. 'deli is the people's re-
sponse, and earth and - y will ring and thrill
with it.
The campaign is now open-S , the leaders
chosen—the position assumed, and the ban
ners unfurled. Our Baltimore Convention
has, with more than usual effort, produced
a result which is hailed by the entire party
'with exultation and gratidue: It may be pro,'
fitable to mark the contrast presented by the
proceedings of our--the Whig,—Convention,
and of that self-styled the Demoeratic, which
preceded it . Ours acted,in all thirip,s,openly,
without caucus or concealment, treachery or
trick. Theirs was a p . ontin uous and keen en
counter of their wits; each faction sought io ,
cheat the other ; and-all succeeded, for all
were cheated. Ours discussed everything
that pertained to their trust—principles, pol
icy and men theirs dared debate no great
political issue-; their councils were dark, for
their deeds were evil. Ours, in the inia live,
raised their platform, high as the Constitu
tion, broad as the continent and stable as
truth and right ; and then, their duty. defined,
they faithfully conformed to it' in their nciion.
Theirs shrunk from and shirked that manly
and honorable course ; they acted without a
rule of action, without daring to profess a
single . political principle upon any disputed
subject ; and when their choice was made
without reference to principle, when the deed
was done and the platform was useless, they
then huddled together with indifferent haste,
a bundle of unmeaning and ,clap trap gener
alities, which they bequeathed to their party
as a posthumous platform.
•
• II ,
Is II •
Our Convention, obedient to their consul
uents, selected from those named by the peo
ple the illustrious one preferred by the ma
jority ; but if their choice had no:. fallen up
on the gallant Neorr, they would have se
lected the giant WEBSTER or the faithful
ILLMOR E. But never, never would they
have dared to insult their constituents, so
to trample upon the republican principle, as
to act upon the theory that eminent merit is
disqualification tor high honor, or that the
Presidency is a degredation unworthy of the
truly exalted ; never would they have dared
to hunt up for nomination some political
John Smith, some anonymous obscure,._on
the pretext that, as huitnade a speech to de
prive the widow of Gen. IhnnisoN of his sal
ary, he was, therefbre, ; a statestnanas he
had fainted at the sight `9l an enemy, there
fore he was n hero.
- Let us extend this contrast to %e principles
and policy adopted by the two Conventions.
Ours recognised the foreign policy. bf W2SII
- —that does no wrong and brooks i no
wrong=that cherishes and guards, if need
be, with our best blooild, the sacred fire qi
liberty here, at home, uPori het American aj
tar, but does not light the torch, and will net
play the incendiary—that loVes our own
country and regards it as the first and last
duty of virtue to Male her safe, free and
happy. • -
"And conquering by her happinei , N alone
Compel the .nations to he free, •
Till Love and Joy look round and call rut t
their own.''
Our opponents espouse 'the propagandism
of the Fillibusters—war against the world in
genera Land Cuba in particular—all for love
and a little plunder—for the sacred right of
rapine, and for the extension of freedom and
-the peculiar institution.
Again, our Convention would protect the
sweat of American brows,' and the toil of
American hands—would develope the dark
gold of our Coal fields-:--fan the fires of the
forge and the furnace,vand fill hill-side and
valley with the' songs of rewarded, because
protected, industry. Theirs, on the contrary,
would crush the American artisan, under the
enginery of British Free Trade, to the level
of the foreign pauper—swell our needles im
ports to ruinous excess—beckon - bankruptcy,
dependence and disgrace to. our shores—
close our factories and mines—depopulate
our villages, rob the farmer,of Ins home mar
ket, and the tinder of his dOmestic , commerce
—and call all third emocracy !
The Whig Coiffiftion sought also to fos
ter the commerce of our .vast lakes and riv
ers, and all the interests of our agriculture,
by the improvement of their navigation, when
such improvement was national and neces
sary. Thliqrs, in the face.of an iron neces
sity elamorin for,it,detiounce improvement ;
and yet presupe to ask the
,giant West, the
shores of whose lakes arestrewn with wrecks
and marked with - untimely graves,.for want
of harbors 'of refuge, to J 9 their bidding and
drudge in,bieir political harness.
Our Convention his also spread it i ./Egts
before the outraged Consiturron. Outraged
by whom ? By whom but those who aflcct
a maudlin tenderness for that convenient- in
strument,whcn a political advantage is to' be
won, but who do not hesitate, on occasion, to
drag a Texas through its tattered rents and
facile openings, or to make war or peace
alike in its defiance. Was The fidelity of
the Whig patty to the Constitution and the
Union ever sanely and setiously doubted?—
If so, the doubt was a traitor. Whose hand
reared around' that Union the wall of the ,
Compromise—whose but his. whose life
streams over our history as sunlight over the
heavens—Hi:on - CLAY ? Would that the
health he restored to his country-:Ais coun
try could• measure back todiim. But while
he lives, the acknowledged Patriarch and
Prophet of-the Whig party, let not that party
be slandered as false to the Utiion of 'which,
nudes his guidance, it has been the rocky and
steadfast barrier. '
Shall we pursue the colitras.t io the candi
dates of the two Convention ? flow can we?
PIERCE was ." mulina and puking in his
nurse's arms " when SCOTT, now hoary and
war-worn ; but all the hero still, was win
ning a world-wide renown. Whatever qual
ity of; mind or heart is most needed for the
office 'in the nation-'—that, whether it be of
peace or war, of the camp or the Cabinet:—
that is possessed, and in an eminent degree,
by WINFIELT) SCOTT., Is it doubted ? His
achievements approve it. Ills Mexican cam
paign is a monument of; transcendant genius.
Study his life L-it is long and lustrous —full
of high mots, civil as well as military, no
bly'.dischatged—of great dangers greatly
'overcome, and without one act of weakness,
failure or dishonor. It is told of Pompey
that when be came to claim exemption from
military services, he, as was the custom in
Rome, led his war-horse into the forum, and
was asked by the Censor—" Pompey, have
you served all the campaigns required by
law T" He delighted his countrymen by the
answer—" I have served them all, and all
finder myself as General.", Thus may SCOTT,
the persecuted and maligned; appear before
his countrymen. >He has served all the cam
paigns fought, since his boyhood, and all,
(with a brief exception) like the Romdn,
"under himself as General." He is the he
ro,of more was and more battle-fields than
any—with no exception, however illustrious
—titan any American that ever breathed—in
all commando' ' and in all (which transcends
the Roman's blast) a victor. Let Mr. PIE - RCE
—I beg pardon, General PIERCE, lead forth
his war-horselo the Forum—he must lead
it, for should he dare to mount he must fall,
as in Mexico.
14rtn
Oh, what a fel was there, my countrymen!'
Sad . as - the: fall which awaits his anew
to mount to the Presidency. Some are
born to greatness, and some achieve great
ness ti but, in hig case,,a Convention seek
ing• (as Diogenes sought .with a lighted
candle at midday for an honest man,) for one
obscure, and only obscure, with no alarming
capacity, and :no 'rampant public • virtue,
stumbled over Mr. Prates. He awoke nest
morning from his tranquil village slumber,
and found hinisell-famous. The Egyptians
of old made a Divinity of a bull ; but the Lo.--
cotoco Convention reversed the rule, lind,
made a bull when they . adopted such Di-1
vinity. ~

B: HANNAN, ESQ. :—Dear Sir: As you men
tioned my name m your-editorial otlast week,
in connection with the tragical and laments ,
ble death of Mr. HuGn STEVENSON, in a man-•
ner calculated to place mein a false position,
I have no doubt but you will do me an act
of simple justicti Jiy publishing, as promi
nently, in your Journal, this letter. Ido not
a'ectise you of any design to injure Me; Or
any one, by that publication. My statement
shall - be a short one, very. You said that I
was one of the counsel employed on the part
orthe Commonwealth, in connection wub
Mr. Williamson and Mr. Hughes. The facts
are simply these. I was employed by a spe
cial agreement to be concerned for the proa
eeution in the case of the Commonwealth vs.
Herm STEvr.Nsox, in the examination before
Esquire Reed and the hearing of the Habeas
Corpus before the COurt of this County. at
tended to that duty in connection With Messrs.
Wil Lm son and Palmer. After these exam::
inations Were over, I told the parties con
cerned for the, ploseention that they must
make satisfactory arrangementa„with me, if
they desired my services on the. trial of
the case. I have noti only to say that
no person called oh me to,ernploy me in
the case at all from the time the first hearing
took place to the present hour; so that so far
from refusing to take part in, the trial, be
cause my fees were not paid, I was not even
asked to do so by any one. I admit that I
expected to be employed, all along, from
what was raid during, the first hearnig'hy
the parties interested. Mr. Williamson told
me freqUently that he was treated in the
same manner. Mr,' Iluglies,told Me, when
the caseiwas cfilled'up, that he had not seen
the parties - interested ye:. Messrs. Bannan
and Campbell were told by me, the day be
fore the cafe was called up, that I would not
take part in the trial, unless -satisfactory ar
rangements, were made with me. This was
not done, arid I took no interest whatever in
the matter.' You and all persona can, there
fore, readily conceive that I could not take
any part in the trial
. when. no person. had
thought it worth their while even to ask me
tat be concerned in it ht all.
Very /Respectlolly Yours,
JOHN C. NEVILLE
