In politics, tho "Porrsvitut Eairoiutnt" will zealously support the principles and candidates of the Democratic party, and particularly tho nominee of tho Ctli of March Convention : But, asido from paity feeling, it shall bo our main object to enhance tho interests of our fellow-citizens, by p'romotinff that industry and enterprizc which charac lise the operation;) of tho Coal Kcgion. We shall go for the honest many against tho designing few on all occasions, reverencing that principle in our political creed, and op posing any Monopoly which may retard the exercise 'of individual rights, or have the tendency to put dovvli individual industry and enterprise. In fine, our object shall be o promote the welfare of the community amongst whom wo live to pleaso and in struct and with ho other promises, we shall commence our paper, hoping that our ex perience both as mechanical printers and editors, may fit us for our task, and afford that gratification to patrons which ncvoi fails to induce the necessary recompense for servi "ces rendered in a laudable undertaking. At present there is but onp English prper published in tho county of Schuylkill a county whose territory is completely spotted with ullages, and whose citizens rank amongst the most intelligent, industrious and enterprising of tho commonwealth.

ScSP-varyiiag Sqsiarc EEs.tfc, For measuring and drafting coals, in con nection with another new and useful rule for cutting sale or boy's coat's upon a more familiar plan ; also, superior rules for cut ting all other garments incumbent on that branch, aro now offered to the trade by tho subscribers ; beliving them to surpass eve ry thing of tho kind which has proceeded them. SELF-VARYING RULE. Great imperfections in tho art and liabil ities to produce amiss-fit have been stand ing before tho cutter ever since the intro duction of rules, filling the mind with fear and anxiety, until tho coat is finished and tried on, at which crisis the blood is often caused to rush into the faco at beholding a bad fitting coat. . The rules,, with one or two exceptions, which have been in use ever since the first invention of the kind, were wholly predi cated upon principles giving the same pro portion for every man, which principles would long since have boon superceded by self-varying rules, had tailors but thought that tho variation in the proportions of men's bodies arc almost as many as in the features of tho face. Two or three rules styled Self-varying, have, made their appearance within about as many years, each invcntoi claiming the hon or of having perfected the art, upon which J. G. Wilson, of New York, entitled his sys tem perfect ; but instead of being perfect, it contains, many erroneous principles, which tho subscribers forbear to point out until that genllcmari assails this assertion. All such systems have heretofore been dofective in two ways : First, they arc only in pari self-varying. Secondly, those parts which are intended to be self-varying are defective. In fact, there aro ccttain points on the coat ' which cannot bo effected by self-varying principles in any other way, nor by any other means, than thoso laid down by the subscribers. Unlike any other of the kind, this sys tem now offered to the trade is conducted without any breast measure, and effects ev ery point artd every part of tho coat by self varying principles, in a way calculated to convict tho senses of any reasonable man, that should it ever fail to produce a good fit upon any shape whatever, the charge must be laid to a careless and incorrect measure ment. It may seem mysterious that this rule is said to be self-varying, and yet a square rule a square rule and yet conduct ed without a breast measure ; but tho whole mystery will be unfolded at once by exam ination. Unwilling to have it said that tho subscribers are attempting to palm this sys tem upon tiie Irado with misrepresentations, they avow 'their willingness to submit it in to tho hands of an impartial committee for an examination of its principles, in compar ison with any other ever invented in tho United States, at Philadelphia or New York, which committee shall make tho decision known through the press, Tho subscri bers set all systems which are governed wholly by the breast measure aside as in ferior and not worthy to compare with j consequently they will compare with none but such r.s are governed in part by self vary ing principles. For if the principles hero offered to the trade ate not worthy of patrfortagc it is right that it should bo made Ktiowit, and they sink into oblivion. On the contrary, i they arc round as above repres-i anted, or if thereby the subscriber hive put an end u all furthrr improvement in the art of cutting coats ihey deserve some pat ronage aijd compensation, for their exertions.
