A DEMOtRATIe MEgTING was held in 'Phil
.
adelphia on Tuesday evening last," to ratify 1
the nominations of Buchanad and Brecken
ridge. 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

Reed, Prosecuting Attorney of th+City of
Philadelphia. We behold d man wlid3vas al

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,

the nomination of Mr. Fillmore, for we esteem '
him an unexeeptionable..candidate: But in
the present crisis of our country's political

last year.
The Shipments this week are 6,397 .tons less
than last week from Schuylkill County. . We are
however, gaining somewhat on the deficiency
both in thiS and the Lehigh Region, owing to in
terrupflons.in the'trado in both Regions List year
at this "period. For the ensuing three weeks there
will be.',but little if any gain on the shipments
from th i s Schuylkill'and Lehigh Regions last year.
The !tea in comparison with last Year stands

Making,the decrease in the supply from these
Regions 257,703 tons, with only 5} months of the
season left. Last year, at this period, we were in
excess of the previous year about 275,000 tons.
This is,the present. situation of the trade, and op
erators; dealers and consumers can govern them
selves accordingly, • •
We aro frequently' asked by dealers what the
new Railroads will do this year. 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. Neither of :
1
these roads will carry much Coal to market next
Whiter unless= prices should rule high in New
York, because the increased expenses' of Winte - F
tran,portatien would not otherwise warrant it,.
except on.geueral thoroughfares where .. the roads
must necessarily be kept open to accommodate
other and more profitable traffic.,
Vessels continue scarce at Port Richmond and
freights to the East, continue high--4.1 80 to Bos
ton and $1 GO to Providence, which is 30 cents
higher than the totes last year .The' shipments
were Consequently small last Week, amounting to
29,880 tons, but'wbieh is about 20001 tons more
than was shipped for the'cOrresponding week last
`•._ ,
r
We clip the following from an Exchange: -.
"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.
With this road and the Lehigh Valley road, and .
their. fitt:ili ties for obtaining and transporting Coal;
••Iti3 catint)ti see him this article of domestic use
an remain at the high prices it has etitntrutuded
herelpfpn.-but instead, we may look for a sudden
. r.ntl rapid decline."
The above is a fair specimen of the publications
trade by .N.odern Coal Companies engaged in
miniog, Coal.. It looks well , on paper, but the
'calculations" will be wonderfully reduced by
bete. We will also venture the prediction that
the price of AnthrariteAeal will not be, reduced
it the New York •m et. within the next five
- y ars; fifty cents a ton less then it is
.now

find', crave an apology for this digression, it may;
be .honever a little excusable, worming on the:

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

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

'strongly ;against the practice of soiling Cmil by

The section of the American party7wppos
ed to the, nomination of Mr. Fillnsore, hae or_
ganized at New - York, by selecting Robert T.
Conrad, of Penna., for President. Delegates
from 18 States, among them i)elaware, were
present. .It is not thought that-any -decided
steps will be takeis towards nomination. The
utmost harmony prevails. It !may await the
action of, the. Republican iConvention which
meets in Philadelphia on Tuciday.
- Congress.
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! He said that
for the nine years that he had held a seat in
the Senate, he had almost been a'ailent nietn
ber,•and; upon - the subject-that bad so much
excited .the countrkhe had Tarely uttered a
word. He loved country more than he
loved ativ party, more than anything that
could agitate and disturb ittilharmony. Al.
though he believed that the repeal of the His?'
sours Ccimpromise was a great moral, end" po
t i tical wiong, unequalled in the annals of le
gislation of this country, anti unequalled in
the• history of almost any country, still, with
a desire to promote harmony, concord and
brotherly feeling, he sat quietly amid all the
exciting debate which led to That fatal result,
and opposed it not by his voiCe, but by a con
sistent, steady and uniform Vote, not only in
accordance with his own ennvictions, but in
accordance with the instructions of his Legis
lature, passed byan almostunanimous Vote.
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.
Mr. Butler of South Carolina made a reply
to Senator Sumner's speech. It is a curious
effort, but we have no space .to give it in de
tail. It answers no' argument of Mr. Sum

Therdis a Reign of Terr:,r in' Kansas.—
Fighti'ng is in progress there, and the excite
ment is increasing. Atiou:i. fifty •men have
been killed. Au unsuccessful attempt had
been made to rescue Robinson." A corres
pondent of the Chicago Tribune, says :
"The position of the nerthern people of
Kansas is one of imininenqeril. The troops,
the-Courts, the Blue LtalgeS, and' the south.
ern army under Buford and others, are inces.
Sandy employed in robbing and liarrassing
theta., If Northerners unite for,-mutual pro
tection, the troops iminediatelptlisperse them,
and a' party of Missouri orl,Alabau3a ruf f ians,
following in the .footsteps DV the soldiery;
plunder and insult them with impunity. Ev
ery man who is capable of,acting as a leader
,is either under arrest or nhderindictment.—
The farmers are forced to he idle in the field,
for several hours daily, in order to keep up a
watch for the approach of guerillas: Scouts
ride all night in several dist:lets. Missouri is
marshaling - her forces again.. Lies, malig
nant and innumerable arc bent in legionsidong
the border counties, to exasperate the people
of that State against the Free State settlers
and their political ppinionk.
"A siril war or submiSsion •to arbitrary
rule, to despotistiLon the Bench, military dic
tation and armed mob laws are the only alter
natives before the people Of the North in the
Territory, who are resolved,; at all hazards v to
remain here. •
"Col. Sumner has been removed divot Fort
Leavenworth and the merciless Gen. Harney
has been appointed to succeed him. Harney
hates Northern principles as intensely as he
: hates the Indians; Whilst Col. Sumner, on
the contrary, was supposed to be favorable to
the Free State cause and to Northern men.,
'We mean to sulxlue you,'.i said Douglas --and
Harney wail chosen to execute the"threat.
' "Unless the free North`does her duty, With
out a moment's delay, this threat will soon
be fut.? . .
The facts of the fight at Ossawatomie, in
which five",ProSlavery Melt were killed, are
as follows:
`On the day.on whit:h . :these men were kil,
led, a flag inscribed, 'Head Quarters of the
Pro,Slacery . Army.' was 'hoisted. over Sher.
mans store. A Free State man went in and
inquired the price of powder. The man tijid
him he charged ten cents a pqund to Pro-
Slavery men, but as he was a d—d nigger
thief, he would have to pay twenty five cents.
Some angry words passed between the par
ties. Wilkinson then seized on the squatter,
and told him that, as he retused to acknowl
edge the Territorial laws as valid enactments,
they would give him a 14son to teach him
what. his principles would lead to. They said
he ought{ to bare been hanSged long ago; and
now; as they had him in flier power, by G---41
they would give'hidi his due:, They kept hini
,confined an hour or two. After dusk they
took him out, went down with him to the
woods, put a rope around his neck, and an'
end , of it over the limb of a tree and
were preparing to hoist him up. .
"
"The report Olive rifles was heard simulta
neously with this unexpebted demand: Five
corpses—the bodies of the Doyles. Sherman
and Wilkinson were seen stretched on the
grass as soon as the smoke c'eared away , .
"".F/y,' cried the same:voice who had given
the order to fire.
"The man whose life was so mysteriously
and unexpectedly saved, ; as soon as he re
moved the rope from his'neck, went iota the
woods and shouted for his friends.
"But they had'disappeared as suddenly and
mysteriously as 'they came."
The latest telegraphic despatch states, that
Col:, Stunner, with the United States troops,
is dispersing all the armed bands of both
parties' and a prospect of! peace pre ails.
The Independence correspondent of the Re.
