In proof of the assertion, we have but to ex
hibit our subscription list, which is increasing
in length daily. In order to keep pace with
the spirit of the times, and add 'additional in

This in addition to the services of several oth

to the numerous patrons of the Journal.

afforli more space in the Miners' Journal for,
' Scientific and Mining news of a general char
acter, which fact must commend the' peculiar
merits of the Journal, still more fercibly to
our readers. s •
The principles and opinions of the Xiners'
Journal are and will coreinue to be indepen
dent of party influences. Sentiments upon
matters of public moment.wile always as
honestly expressed in these colutnni, as they
are honestly, ormed. •We never will sacrifice
principle for the sake of retaining or gaining
patronage. The public welfare our principal
incentive to exertion, will ever guide •our pen,.
and mark the path, we shall esteem it still our
duty to tread. If at times we err, it will be the
fault of the head, not heart. Americanism,
pure, disinterested and patriotic, will ever he
-warmly defended in the colnrunfi of the jOtirnal.
Protection to the industry of Americnii.work-
men will still ;continue to I.mstrongly advoca
ted by us. We will spare no efforts in de
fmding the rights Of 'all in conne - Ction with
religimi's and social liberty in the largest sense;
but we will oppose the inroads of despotism;
i a the shape of Papacy, hierarchical arrogance,
and prelatic influence, when it ivrwa : with the
spirit of our sacred institutions, and provCs
inimical to the temporal welfare of Any
,por
lion of the citizens otithe United-States. •
That our course oil thise topics of pUblic
moment, is,ateroved, is observable in . the
eral manner in which the publie at-home and
, abroad aid us in rendering the -hitters' Jour
nal fully worthy 'of their patronage. Sub
serip,tions are daily coming in; and week af

our already large edition. The semi-annual
volume which commences with this number
noises to be unusually interesqng,'and the

a paper of the character of the !Miners' Jour

THE FOURTH IN POTTSVILLE.
Ike Clay Monument Inauguration Ceremonies
HON. CHARM OrBBOWS ORATION
/At an early hour on Wednesday morning
fast,. Pottsville was thronged with strangers
from all parts of the county. Every 'train
that arrived at brief intervals from the differ
ent. pOints in the Valley, brought load's of liv
ing freight to 'swell the great Imman'stream,
which constantly during the day rolled back
wards and forwards, through the streets of the
".liners' City." About noon, whiCh brought
the. Phila.delphia - , trains also heavily laden
with visitors, into our borough, . the multi-,
tilde which jostled each . other in Centre
street, and in the vicinity of the Clay Monu
ment, presented a scene which ,would have
ifeon novel to our 'streets on any other occa
sion than the Fourth of July.
The lowering aipeet of the weather threat
cued rain, and the line - of procession had
hardly formeda cording to the published pro
. grainme, and coat fairly to traverse
the route set 'down, when the rain fell in tor
rents, drenching the participants, large num
bers of visitors, and driving many from the
• line. The visitation was exceedingly mat
' apinpos at that: moment, and destroyed the
- eire.et to a great...degree, of what was at any
rate the most imposing pageant ever ikitness
• el in the streets of this borough. The pro
'cession was formed at a mach later hoar than
the appointed time, in consequence of the
tardy arrival of some of the Assoeintions, and
other circumstances that always intervene bn
such occasions, At length, however, the long
line Was formed.through the exertions of Col.
John P. Hobart and his efficient Aids, and
the procession passed over every foot of the
route designated, brilliant and prepossessing,
' in.spite of rain, umbrellas; oil-skins, glazed
"...cloth, etc.
Po' ronost - came the staff officers, clad in
trappistgs i the panoply of war—on their
prancing steeds. Conspicuous among them
-rode Major Brown, wearing with a graceful
and soldierly air, his new military honsors.—
These were followed by the cavalry aid other
• military companies; many orik6n in new
and rich unifoims;bearing' their • polished
arms - "like soldiers trained for battle." They
were the pride ot our citizens; the delight of
the ladies, and the glory of the boys, who did
not fail to show their enthusiasm on the occa
sion by-incessant collies Of fire crackers.
'Prominent among the workmen who, were
engaged in making and erecting the Monty
went, and who.were in the line of procesSion,
, came the firm of Wren, Brothers & Co.,
moulders 'of the Entablature, Y , But like the
maji.wity of our great workers in iron,
these enterprising gentlemen's creations are
every where, visible throughout the Coal Re
gion. At the foot. of the Clay Monument, or
in the Valley of the Wyoming, they are still
. at home; ii this respect.
. Neither tine nor space, will permit a mi
nute description of the details of the cast
pro
ces:iott; of the fine .appearance of the vari
ous societies, firemen, citizens, &c., that were
in the line. The
,MiddlepOrt Lodge, ofOdd

This noble Monument, whose .dedication has I
assembled sti!vast a maltittide here at this hour, is I
to stand as lasting memorial of a remarkable
American Statesman. And that Statesman was'a
Christian. About the time of his eloquent adv -
eacy of Grecian : and South American liberty, he
wrote—"l ant not a protessur of religioni I re
gret that i stir nut. I wish that I was, and trust
that I shall be. I have, and always have had, a
profound regard fur Christianity, the religion of,
my fathers, and for its rules, its usages,
and it observances ."` observances. That feeling (says the Chaplain
of
the Senate) proved tbatdhe seed. sown by pious

Church; and thiring his sojourn iu Wash&tun
he was in full Couituunion,with Trinity Pansh.—
, s o •-• lie avowed his full faith in the
great leading . doctrines of the- Guspel-4he fall
and sinfulness of man, the divinity of Chriat, the
reality and riepessity of the Atonement, the need
of being born again sty the Spirit, and Salvation,
through Faith in a Crucified Redeemer. 'his own
personal hopes of salvation ho ever and distinctly.
based on thd Kull:dabs' and the grace of Christ.—
Strikingly prceptible' on his naturally impetuous
and bivalent character, was the influence of
grace in • prtiducing submission, •and "& patient
waiting for Christ,' and for death. On one occa
sion he spokh of the Pious' esiimple of One very
near anti dear to birth; as that which led him deep
ly to feel, nod earnestly to seek for himself, the
I reality mid he blessedness of religion. On anoth-
I er occasion 'a said, RI wai(tou late for hint to look

'e The dept dence of the American Culonles upon!
the mother country for every manufactured ord..,
cis of necessity or of luxury was a condition 'or
tbings which-11 was the constant and anxious care!
of the British Parliament to perpetuate. As early!
as 1699 thily prohibited the Colonies from export-1,
ieg wool, yarn or woolen fabrics, and frout.carry-1
log them coastwise, from one Colony and place to]
another. „In 1719 the House of Cotnnoonsideclar-'
NI by resolution that the ereq soosr/1 of mittufacto-'
,es in the Colonies tended to es their depen-!
dence on tlreat Britaiu. In 1731 they direciled.
the Board'of Trade to inquire and reperrwith te- 1
sioect to laws made, manufactures set up,' or tradei
cbrried on in the Colonies, detrimental. to thil
trade. navigat ion or mum factures of Great Bri tutu.
The Board subsequently reported thaCeertai
trades were carried un and manufactures act up!o
such detrimental tendency, aud enumerated among
ttie manufactures those of wool and flax, ieon, in
per, hots and kuthir.

that great quantities of hats wcie(matle iii. Amer. (
ies and shipped to other countrick s to their injury,
and Piirliament struck at the root -of` the ,:bvii, by

They prohibited hats , ' u m being laileti_upon ii
horse, cart, or other carriage in Ameriea, vrith in.

tiny place whaterer ; and no' batter in thecolonies
tips allowed to employ more than tee apprentide.
.or to make hats at all, unless he bad served an hp
prcnticeshiip of seven years to the trade.

ler slitting or rolling iron, or any plating forge to
work with it tilt hammer, or any furnace , Cur mak

of the law, they declared all such mills to bo cOnit.

were dtrectel to abate them or forfeitfice %iodic

: They prohibited the exportation of any : Of ill.
productions of the colonies to-auy phi wher
they might come in competition, with their •tiwn
business,:hut graciously permitted the Aliment
of raw materials to their .home . ports, that the
Might return the manufactured articles tti: . :the -

disappointment of, ibis ladies and the "sogers;"l
whose great forte on that pailieular day; is to i
make an extraordinary tine appearance; and were I
it not for the rain, which, must unfortunately dis
appointed us all more or 'less, they would have
