In giving publicity to Senator Cameron's speech on the occasion of the presentation of petition in rotation to the tariff interests of the country, 4ha Philadelphia "North Ame rican" says, tha following brief preface to a motion in the Senate, two or three days since !b one of tho most remarkable and forcible we have ever seen, in tho proceedings of that body. It is a full speech in a few words, a moet admirably condensed nnd scntcntioas embodiment of tho flood of thoughts which tho great question it refers to presses upon us now. It is a speech which tens of thou sands can and will rend, and tho eminent speukerwill said, nt its closo, that bo was speaking to tho petitioners nnd their associ ates, and speaking for them in so doing. This brief, pithy, and conclusive enforcement of the duty of tho unfortunate workers in coal and iron to consider the question of political direction nt tho polls, nud not In vain pelt tions, will havo more weight with those to whom it is especially addressed, than nny former argument from the House or Sennto Mr. Cameron ha9 closed a discreet and ef fective course, during one session of the Sen. ate, by giving at tho critical moment, the most forcible argument on the torifl thuthas yet been uttered, and this directly to the peo' pie, whoso responsibility ot the polls he makes them to feel is direct. It is couched in the right measure of words, nlao. No one of tho unemployed workers in coul andiron can sny that he has not time to read it, nor can nny ouo of these employed or uncmploy ed, rend it without fueling its rebuke, and be ing incited to the duty we have urged so fruit lessly when work was plenty and all went well. Wo ore glad to place on record a speech, which, like this gives pioniso of so much beyond. It is an index to a volume, and it serves to dimiuish the last of the doubts tho most incredulous may indulge os to the effective representation of Peunsylvo. nia by Senator Cammon. We thank Senator Cahkrok for the hrevi ity as well as the force of his argument, and wo trust the tens of thousands heretofore mis. cuided on this erreat question, moy arm him with the eflective weoprnof an overwhelming vole in October next, for tho struggles of tho next session and the next Congress: I am requested to present n petition, sign ed by a large number of laboring men enpati ged iu tno mnnnlacluro ot iron in rennsylva nia. 1 receive a great many letters daily from persons of this class, and I will soy here, wbat will save rue mo trouble ol wining a gn at manv letters. They think the Congress of tho United States can relieve them from all their troubles. There never has been a time in tho history cf the iron business of Pennsylvania, when there was so much leul distress among the laboring n en of my State the men who do the work, the men who go to the forgo before daylight, und return thoro long after the moon has risen thau there is at present. It is not a complaint now on the part of tho capitalists. Men of capital, men of fortune, can take care of themselves. Capital can always tnko caro of itstlf ; labor, poverty, Indigence and want, always ueed sympathy and protection. " These persons reside in the town of Nor ristown, on the Schuylkill river, some twenty miles above Philadelphia. The river Schuyl kill is traversed, on both sides, by a ruilroad, ono extending some twenty or thirty miles, another one hundred miles. On tho one side of the river is a canal. All these works have been made for the purpose cf conveying con! and iron to tho place of manfacture and sale. Tho county of Schuylkill, the great coal doposit of Pennsylvania, has a popula tion of somo 80,000 or 90,000 people, all of which has grown up within the last twenty five years. At this time the whole laboring population engaged in tho iron and coal business, or the whole country extending from Philadelphia to the mountains of Schuylkill county, are en tirely idle; thu boats are tied up ; the loco motives bio, in a great measure, standing still, and tho laborers tire running about hunting employment and hunting food. 1 heso are the persons who complain j they tlnnu that Congress can relieve them. 1 havo told them, und 1 have written to them, that they have the power in their own hands. The laboring men of this country ere row- erful fur good always. They do coutrol when they think proprr, and 1 think tbe time is coming when they will control the politics of this country. 1 tell them that be I ore they can got common protection they must change the mnjority in the senate they must change the majority or the olber bouse ol Uongress ; and, above nil, they must ehunge tho rccu pant of the White Home, who is tho dispen eer of the power which controls tho legisla tion of this country. In placo of gentlemen who sneer when wo tali about protection they must send men here who know something of the wants, something of tbe interests, something of the usefulness of tbo laboring men. Hitherto they havo not acted as if they car ed for their own intores s : while thny talked ubout a tariff which would guard their labor from competition with tho pauper labor of Furope, they would go to tho elections under some ward leader and vote for men to repre sent them here and elsewhere, who cared on ly for party drill, and who had no interest above party succes. Ibis system they must change if they hope for success. 1 think tho laboring men of Pennsylvania at least, are now beginning to put their own shoulders to the wheel, und 1 believe they will make such a noiso in ti e next October contest, as will alarm tho gentlemen all over the country who laugh at them. Tha canals, railroads und mining operations of this region of country have cost more thau a hundred millions or dollars. The luruaces and other works connected Wiith tbe manufac ture or iron, cost an enormous sum, and tho people iuterested in the iron and coal busi ness, directly or indirectly, along the valley or the Schuylkill amount to more than three hundred thousand souls. Siuce 1855, there has been a blight upon the business, growing out cf the unwise legislation of Congress, which has really protected tho iron of hog land, Russia and Sweden, and thus taking tho labor nud bread from our own workmen. This iron interest of Pennsylvania, in which these men are employed commenced in 1820, with a production of only 20,000 tons. In 1655, when it was up to its greatest extent, the production was a million of tons of pig metal. When this pig metal is worked into the various uses in which iron is to be con sumed, it amounts to very many millions of dollars. The aouual produce of coal iu Schuylkill county alone iu 11-05, amounted in value to some $20,000.0110. Wbeu it is known that it requires two tons of coal to make a ton of iron, yon can imagine the number of persons who rely for their daily bread on tbe productions of iron und coal. Iron in its na tive mountains, is worth but 50 ceuts a ton ; wheu it is worked into pig metal ft rangea in price from 620 to $30, and sometimes to 40 a ton ; aud then worked into various uses it frequently amounts to many hundreds of dol lars a ton. I bure said that these people bava the pow er in their own bands. I am speaking to them now, and 1 wish tbem to exercise the power they bare. 1 cannot help tbem, mnch as I desire to do so, nor can any of their friends bere ; but when they go to work as men determined to succeed should do, I bare ng doubt tbe; will get protection. Ihe peo. pie in this valley and on the slope of the Schuylkill mountains have votes eoongh to change and control the politics of the Union; for as Pennsylvania goes, so goes the Union in nil great elections and their volet can at all times decide the politics oi l'cnnsyivania. Let them exorcise tho power wisely, and tboy will no longer be without plenty of work and good price. l move mat mis pennon oe reierreu to vua Committee on Finance, fcliSnUIlV & ERIE IIAH.UOAU LETTISH.

Thus Pennsylvania, for tbo hrst time in thirty years, is no lnugor the owner of one mile of canol or roilroad. 1 his may appear strango but is nevertheless true.

Governor Cummiog has informed General Johnston that he would probably be com pelled to make a requisition for a sufficient force to chastise the Indians. At every point he was recognized as the Governor of Utah, and received with a mili tary salute, the houses being illuminated in his honor. Haviui; hoard numerous complaints, Gov.

A large majority of these peoplo were of English birth, and were promised assistance to be removed. Governor Camming says that bis visit to the Tabernacle wilt never be forgotten. There were between tbree and four thousand persons assembled for the purpose of public worship. There was the most profound si lence when he appeared. Brigham Young introduced bim as tbe Governor of Utah, and Governor Cumming addressed them for half an hour, telling them that it was his pur pose to uphold the Constitution, and that be would expect their obedience to all lawful authority, assuring them of his determination to administer equal aud exact justice, ic. He was listened to respectfully. Ho invited responses, und several spoke, referring in ex cited toues to tho murder of Joseph Smith, to the services rendered by the Mormon bat taliou in the Mexican war, and recapitulated a long chapter of their wrongs. Tho tumult fearfully iucreased, but an appeal from Brig ham Young restored calmness. Several af terward expressed regret at their oenaviour. Governor Cumming proceeds to describe the exodus of thu Mormons. Tho people, including the inhabitants of Suit Luke, in the northern part of the Territory, are leaving, the roads are everywhere tilled with wagons, loaded with provisions aud household furni ture, the womeo aud children following after without shoes or hats, driving their flocks Ihcv kuow not where.

Going South seems to be sufficient to designate thu pluce, but from the private remarks of Young in the Tabernacle, Governor Cumming thinks that they are going to Souora Brigham Young, Kimball, and most of the influential men have left their commodious mansions to swell tbe ranks of the emigrants. The masses everywhere announced to Gov. Cumming thut the torch will be applied to every house indiscriminately throughout tbo couutry, as soon os the troops attempt to cross the mountains. The people, though scattered, every means would be taken to rally them. Some of the Mormons ore yet in arms, and the Governor speaks of tbe mischief they are capable of rendering as Guerillas.
