"a, length last week, showing the efree6 of tar
\ gra on the Foreign cola, and theakSe9 of the
fluctuations in prices 'since 1840. Since then
we have received a table of prices of Foreign
Coal in ,the Neiw York market• singe 1846,
contrasted withl the prices of Anthracite at
the same periods. This table confirms all the
positions we assumed in our article hist week,
and shows the ut ter.. fully Congress legisla
ting to depress 4 home_ trade, amounting last
year, (including Anthracite and Bituminous
Coal) to upwards-of Ten Millions of ,rons, un
der the expeet4tion of receiving a supply at
cheaper rates from abroad, or even reducing
the prices of the domestic articles at
The true policy is to foster our homd produc-1
tarns, and iniip capital into the trade, and
I thus stimlute these productions t and also (which
is more needeol at present than the', opining
of Mines) inrease the transporting facili
ties to market; and the prices will be reduced
to a healthy state much sooner than by taking
off duties on the Foreign article. It is not so
much the amount of duty, as it is the destrue
; tion of confldnce, and the diversion of capi
tal from the trade; the, caused the great fluc
tuations in prices that have characterized the
trade for several years past—the table speaks
for itself, and We commend it to the.attention
of all those who are now seeking to remove_
• tt
the duty from Coal, in order to punish the
Coal Operator's, while in fact, if they are sue
cessful, the chances will be ten to one, that
the threatened punishment would fall on them
selves :

—The Gazette seems to.keep an eye specially
upon Col, Cake. A writer in the last number
charges .him with having joined the Know

to hack his' assertion. He talks right out in

meeting, thus: •
"This important acquisition was made on
the 13th of December last, iii Schuylkill Ha
ven) at the house of Dr. ,Lewis Royer, and in
the presence of the Hon. John .fiendricks,
our able State Senator. There is connected
with this affair a good story which speaks well
of the discrimination of this order. • It is said
(and truly I believe, too) that Mr. Cake ap
plied for admission into this ordee in Potts
ville, but was rejected, and some of those who
were personally interested in his becoming a
member, were under the necessity of getting
a dispensation from the grand council of the
State, and on the 25th of December the sec
ond coat of paint and varnish was put on this
badly used piece of political furnitgre."
There is fun ahead in the polikal puppet

'of Wayne county; holenounced that order as
an unlawful combittatiTt or conspiracy, and
,a proper subject for prosecution and'

"bloody deeds intent," haunt Judge Porter
with as much pertinacity as the ghost . of Ban
quo did Macbeth; and he is bound to get rid,
of them somehow or other. The rascals have
been doing considerable mischief iwithin the
year, and it is time that the legal
of'the land should wake up and save the com

Althonglek may be dangerous to 'eommu,,

WHY COSMOS SENSE Is RARE,--It
often said that .tto kind of - sense is so rare as
common sense,, and this 'is true, simply bet
cause common *ense is attainable by all 'far
Afore, and is a natural gift far less, than most
other traits of character. Common dense is
the application;hf thought to common things;
and it is rare, because most persons will not
elercise thought about common things. I f
same important:affair occurs, people try then
tit think, but very little purpose; becaus4
net having exercised their powers on small
things, their pOwers lack the development nei:
cessary for Freat ones. Hence, tboughtlesS
p'eople, when hiked to act in an affair of in*
Fiertance, blunder- through it with no more
chance of doii* as they should, than one
would have of kitting a small or distant mark,
at a shooting match, if previous practice had

IMILAIXI 07 THE 1013rA7!6 SUMDI
.Jwst before going to press, yesterday after.
noon, we received the following despatch
from I;larrisburg:
W. M. Hioiter, Democrat, of Barb, is elected
Speaker by the vote of Darsie—Price not young.
Thii confirms the report Of a caucus we
had heard of, being held in Philadelphia some
days ago; ii Judge Black's office, at which
were pretient Darsie, Price and Iliester; whew
it was fore-Ordained that ir neither Price nor'
Darsie':iould be made Speaker, Iliester should
be the man.; Well, Mr: Darsie cals be 'handed
over to his constituents, while Mr. Price has
been politic 1y fleini for some time. There
is some Consolation in that, in the face of
such bare-faced treachery•.
- i CONGBEINICOLIAL
- TURSD4Y.—SENATE.--The bill of
Brodhead, granting bounty land to the offi
cers and soldiers of the War of 1812, canto
up. It originated much debate, and was vs.
iiously amended. 1 :
Hoeie.-4fr. Straub asked leave to intro.
duce a resolution, tendering the 'use of the
Hall of 'tie House of Representatives to the
soldiers of the War of 1812, in which to hold
their Convention on the Bth. of January. Mr.
Jones, of Tennessee objected, and the matter
was laid over. s.
A message was received from the President,
giving his reasons for Vetoing the *Aver and •
Harbor bill; at the last session. It was rc•
ferred to this Committee of the-Whole on the
state'of the Union. .
Oa a consideration of the relief of purchas
ers and locators on swamp and overflowed
lands,—
•
Mr. Mayan spoke in opposition to the Re
ciprocity Treaty • between the , United States
and British Provinces, esteem:* it free trade
entirely for the bene fit of
,the latter, and ex
plainelli- bill he intends to introduce, mutu
ally to benefit both partiei. He 'condemned
the Territorial policy of qua --Administration,
saying that ten millions were given to Santa
Anna, under the Gadsden treaty, fora piece
of land only half as large as Vermont, and
for the purpose, solely, of making another
Slave State. He condenined the repeal of
the Milti{ollll ComproMile, as a breach of
faith which will prevent the North from en
tering hereafter into any compromise whatso
ever.
The Administration and the Democratic
party:have cast a firebrand, which has della
grated the combustible miss, never to be ex
tinguished., The people of the North grip
now ready to abolish slavery in the District of•
Columbia and the Territenes, to prevent the
admission of any more Slave States into the
Union. Iti Congress the. question will hay,
to•be met and the battle fought, never to cease
until either liberty or slavery shall triumph.
Mr. Wentworth, of Massachusetts, reported
a bill, preventing the introduction into the
Znited States of ,foreign Criminals, paupers,
idiots, insane and blind persons. 'lt was corn
mitted. to the Committe on• Commerce.
WEDNESDAY.---SENATE—The Bounty
Land bill i7ts then taken up. In its discus
.
sion,—
Mr. F;varts said,—Thefe were 434,000 rev
olutionary soldiers, and 440,000 in the war of
18123 consequently, 140,000,000 acres of land • t
Would suffice,. if, every onti gets a warrant:for
160 acres. I consider the public lands the
great corruption fund, and go for any fair way
tti get ridof them. . • • G.
Houst.—The session Was occupied almost
wholly with the bill amendatary of the act
graduating , and 'reducing the prices of public
lands to actual settler's and cultivators, and
another for' the relief ;of certain swamp laud
settlers.' This last gave a wide scope for
speechifying, on, the Knew Nothings, Euro
pean pacifi'c mediation &c.
THURSDAY.—SENATE.—Mr. Sumner
presented w memorial from citizens of Massa
chusetts, setting forth the evils arising from
emigrants, and particularly from Roman Cath
olic emigrants; and asking Congress for a
law establishing a head tax of $250 on each
foreigner arriving in the ;country. Referred
to the Committee on the Judiciary. —The
Bounty laud bill was further discussed and
variously amended.'
Tni HOUSE 'took up the
.swamp land bill
again. Mr. Harris, of Mass., undertook to
speak, but the Reporter remarks that he "was
in no proper condition to speak, and, by the
persuasion of a colleague; finally yielded the
floor." What was the ;natter—hadn't got
over New Year's yet, eb ? A running fire
was then started among the members, the bur
den of which was Know Nothingi nu, and some
capital hits-made.
Ater Tile Pores Anis AT Womt.—ln Alba
nY, New York, on Christmas, the wife of the
Mayor of the City distributed a number of
books among the children; in , the Alms House.
The InstitUte was visited by a couple of Cath
oli6 Priests, who ordered the Books to be de
stroyed. The Council Albany has since
passed a resolutipn ' forbidding the further
visits of Teachers of that Sect, until an ample
apology is made.
$67 SELF DEsimin.—The Rev. Dr. Potter,
the new Episcopal Bishop of New York, has
voluntarily relinquished $lOOO of the $6OOO
voted' by the'convention As his annual salary.
He does this from' a conviction, of what is
right, sayiiig that he can get on very well with
$5OOO a .year and rent free.
siirD CISION UNDER lilt LIEN lallic—The
Supreme Court, now in, session in Philadel=
phia, have decided that no lien against a buil
ding. is good unless the lien is filed within sii
months after the delivery of the material. A
builder may make a contract for luMber or
brick, and obtain the articles as wanted, and
a lien filed six months after the last delivery, '
is good for the - whole bill but in the absence
of any such contract, each delivery becomes
a new contract. It was:the case of George •
Duncan e,s. Elias Philifis, error to District
Court in Allegheny, in - Which .judgment was
reversed, 4nd judgment Ordered to be entered
for $22 53, the only item in the account filed
which had been furnished within six months
of filing the lien. It is Supposed to invalid- •
ate one half the liens filed.
1C lerrAi. OEBmW/m:4—Were every
dollar invested in the liqtioritraffic, absolutely
destroyedl by a law of prohibition, still com
munity would be , the gainer by such a law;
for it would be saving men at the expense of
money. Dui the law dettroys no values. It
may modify them—it may change their rela
tive position—but it destroys nothing intrinsi
cally valuable. It mai destroy interests—,
but only ,such as are inconsistent with "the
greatest good of the greatest number." It is
the tivytic, not prohibition, that destroys capi
tal.'Says an able writer on this subject:
"The,money spent fin. liquor is not only
wasted, hut it wastes almost everything else.
It is so Much capital invested to destroy so.

It destroys thelives of thensands w • . minds

The money of the liquoisefler is stained with

It wring 4 tears from the eyes of the wife, and

murders our citizens, Aid sends their ionitto
the perdition of ungodly men. And yet we
are told that we must not prohibit the traffic,
because it destroys capital and injures trade!
