It has been said that England owes her present power and wealth more to her coal and iron than to all other -cause, com bined. If so, then Penneylvunia has within her own border internal resource and powers of wealth unsurpassed by the whulo Union.

To the mechanic and oil other, we t'ust we ehall be able to make the American an interesting and instructive journal. In politics we shall, as we h ive already an nounced, support the general and eta'u hilmiiiistr,. tions. In advocating the re-election nf Miitii Vik Dcatit and Richard M, Juiivso to the high stations which they now occupy, and which they have filled with such distinguished abUilics, we shall coufine ourselves to me.iure and the principles upon which ihey are grounded. Recrim ination and low personal abuse which the rancor of political warfaie never fails lo produce, and which we regret lo say is indulged in t.i an almost unlimited extent, by the partizan pnss of richer aide, we ahull cairlully avoid, deeming it not only demoralizing lo the community and derogatory to the high character of the pic, but unwise, iin-. politic and unjust. To our fearless and patriotic Governor David R. Porter, who haa thus far iilci.tili.d himself with the true interests of the stale, an.i whoa- wise and salu'aiy measures have received the appro' atioo of every honest a'.d liberal mind, we shall exieud our most cordial support.
