Mayor Vaux presided, assisted :b:y formidable number of Vice Piesidents and Secretaries. .:The enthusiasm evinced on the occasion; is said to haie been of the most ex- ploSive character. Speeches were Made by Mayor Vaux, General Lewis Cass, S. A. Doti-, glas, of Illinois, Wm. B. Reed, Rowell Cobb, and others. Df course the speakers one and all, endeavored to explain the position of the Democratic party, as regards the Cincinnati platform; but most lamely. In .the ,face of the blackness which attaches to the Cumin nati resolutions, in endorsing the iniquities of the Kansas business. Mr., Douglas: 'gained a feeble hurrah by stamping the Democratic . as National party.: What a mock ry of the sacred title! Our ' , main object in. noticing, this : meeting at all, is to advert to the humili ating position occupied by the Ron. Wm. B. Reed, Prosecuting Attorney of th+City of Philadelphia. We behold d man wlid3vas al lied to the Ainerican party, and received 7i lucra tive office with its asistance, now endoising the Democratic nominations, and makittg speeches at their meetings. We respect the man who from sincere- conviction,,transfers his political feality; who sacrifices personal interest to what he esteems a public duty. We can even pardon the Icort/t , American's proclivity to DemOcracy, when we remember ,that it failed to receive a share of the municipal pap of Philadelphia. We have however, no' word of censure too severe to bestow upon Wm. B. R e ed, who turns a political 'somersault, while holding an important and lucrative position, because forsooth, he was unable to control matters in, the, American organization, to suit his views and interests. The selfis:jt politician is exhibited in his conduct, not he pure, irre prolichable citizen. .Such a mad' We de,pise, Although through a series of fortunate com binations, Mr. Reed has Managed.to establish a reputation in his official career, for probity, and scrupulous 'attention to the duties of his , office, vet we have heard alleged arminst'him. i t acts ,which prove That he is not exempt from ' the sweeping truth of Lear's expression— “Plate siw with sold. the lance r•fjostke lturfle.s it In mrs - a pigmy Ftraw will pl re# If not faultless in his official pOsition; he still more open to criticism, in his political! career: If Mr. Reed is determined the fu ture'to he one of the so called peCocraey, let him'refuse further to hold Office:at the , hands of those he deserts.

This is inthern difficult question 'to answer, because much de pends on their facilities—but judging from pest experience in opening new roads, we will venture to Assert that the 'Lehigh Valley Railroad will not send to market over 150,000 tons—and the Lack awanna, Delaware.and Great -Western Railroad leading from Scrthiton to Elizabethport, will not' carry over 10'0,000 tuns this , year.

"The Lackawanita•C - onl Company have entered into a .contract WWI the Delaware, Lackawanna nod Western Raile ; oad for twenty years to convey their Coal front Greenville to Elizabethport, at a, fixed rate of freight—lso.ooo tons per annum for the next two or three years, and then 300,000 tons per annum thereafter. It is calculated to send to market' before January, 1857,200.000 tons of Coal, and more than 20,000 tons are now stocked at the Mines and ready to come forward to , New York.

I will therefore Proeeed to point out the injustice af sellinetoale by 'measure ; it.not only being unjust to the cott •sutecni Of Ilituthinous Coal but also unfair to the consuitiers of Anthracite. , . There are so imam/ kinds of Bushel measureS that the very first objection to selling Coals by incase tie is:their variety., There is the;"Winches t ter' Bushel," thti "Imperial Bushel," the "Imperi;• eh Ileaned.Busbel," and no doubt the "American ' tchfch!atso caries in the different States, The very mention of so many different measures to r think quitOmtficient for the condemnation of such n'systembut when it can bo proved that after -Selectin;l any one of these measures as a standard, the public has no, security whatever as to iintratity, it ought most undoubtedly, be unani mously put (bile. There also appears to be independently of this very importaO fact, great confusion and mystifi cation iin the weights and tneasures of the Amer ican deal Trades.. I have already alluded to the difference of the ton weight, but this difference is still aggraVated by the teholrsale and retail ton vt ryi,:ty.: For instance, at Philadelphia the 'whole sale ten is 2241.1b5. and the retail 2000 the ; bat when we thu4 come to compare the measures, these iliscrepancies are more marked, and nutner ouS. Not lolly ihave the different Bituminous Coal Regioiortliffere:nt measures, but in the cities where Bituteinous,Ctnti is sold; these measures not only differlrom the coo Regions but each city has a i!iifertMt buslit4 measure of its own -for this alai ; ele, and I believe in some instances the "liqUid buishel measure" is substituted for ;the "dry bush el:Measure!" ;Can confusion further go?, ;Thee again its regards its unfairness to the An thracite Coal Trade:—flow can those 'engaged; in ' the trade arrive correctly at the relative money value:of Ilitinninous and Anthracite ? And hoe , can censutnerg, through this Coal-dust mystifica tion Of weightS and measures perceive the real romirji - thkercime between Anthracite and Bitunfi: nous ?.• This Mixed system of weights and Irma , ures for two different descriptions of Coal, might origiilirlty have been accidental but to retain it long after an; exposition of its:glaring defects, wiiultll - itto afraid look like something else. . Will now tiring more prominently to view the • ion • snjastree 0 Coals ty measure; and to do so; fieu4 go back to the doings of the English Ciial Trade "then George the Third was king:" for in. these god old times, Coals were sold only by, measure. Dr. Hutton. tho celebrated mathe ma tieitin iwhd. was a native of New Castle and null a&quitinttO with the Ccal Trade,) protested 'strongly ;against the practice of soiling Cmil by tnensure acrount of its injustice, and be Wrote one Coal measuring exactly a eit ide pin] (nearly equal to 5 bolls) be broken into piece a' a moderate size, it win measure 7j bolls, if-briiicen very small it will measure 9 bolls, which x6%411160110 proportion of the weight to the niensore depe4ds upon the size of the (74, , :te,, there fdre necounting by weight is the most rational Method.", Now, this truth was well known to the Clailjyratle•of, those days, and I need not say:it WAS pratticolly enforced; not only did the ,oper'w .tOrs ttittrik upithe Coal into ;small pieces, but . the ' thialeis still farther reduced the - sizes, upon the suppose, that ns they could not legally Odttee the bushel, they might mechanically in crcasn the COal.

During the present week, Kansas affairs have beett.the subject of. exciting debate in both Houses.; In the Senates - 7 on Thursday, Mr. Hauilin,:meinbei: from Mitine, rose toask to be excused from serving as chairman of the Comknitteo on Commerce!

But ;he thing was done in vi Marion of the principles of that party with whom he had always acted, and in violathot of the solemn pledged of the President of the United States in his inaugural message. Since, however, that wrong had been endured by the Cincin nati Convention in' its consuination and its re stilts, he felt it his duty to declare, that he could no longer maintain pitrty associations.l with any party that insisted upon such doc trines, and he could support no man for Pres ident who.avowed and recognized those doc trines; and whatever power God had endowed him with should be used in the coming con test in opposition to that party.
