evinces the moderation of itd mauige
meni. AS "TO THE COXoUZ-irR.
In fact, the tonuago duty operates in
juriously U the conxumt-r, cither by increas
ing the coat to him of all articles carried
over the road, by compelling the freight
to pay the tax, or by diminisbiug the sup
ply in the market, of articles which cau
uot afford to bear this imposition.
This argument addresses itself with
peculiar force to Philadelphia. This city
invested five millions in this road, and
one of the chief objects was that her peo
ple might enjoy, at cheap prices, the sur
plus products of the superabundant agri
cultural portions of Pennsylvania and the
Vcst. The State steps in and forbids
this. She diminishes the supply and in
creases the expense. The citizen, man or
woman, rich or poor, who buys a barrel
of flour must pay, 1st, its home value;
2d the actual cost of transport ; 3d a tax
to the Commonwealth ; 4th, the extra
price consequent on withholding from the
market that portion of produce which can
not afford to pay the tonuage duty. Thus
of four items, which go to mak up the
actual cost to the consumer, two are the
result of an artificial political intervention
in violation of the universally received
principles of political economy. The third
item, the tax itself, amounts on every car
load of nine tons of flour, grain, stock,
iron, or any other property carried from
Pittsburg to Philadelphia, to seven dol
lars and fifty-six cents. The fourth item,
is not susceptible of arithmetical calcula
tion. Put, considering the vast and lux
uriant grain-growing and stock-raising
States of the .North-west, and their inde
pendent choice of the taxed road of Penn
sylvania vnd the free roads of New York
and Maryland, aud the continually accu
mulating cost of carriage as distance in
creases, it may be fairly assumed that the j
enhanced value irom diminished supply
is at least equal to the direct tax.
The effect is precisely the same as the
French octroi, against which every Amer
ican who goes to Paris, vindicates his re
publicanism, by denunciation of the tyr
anny which, at the gates of the city, levies
a duty on the necessaries of life. Our
democratic exaction is worse thau the
imperial tribute, not only because we ought
to know better and can afford to be honest
but because it is general, while the latter
is confined to aiticles of food.
AS TO THE PRODUCER.
Still more onerous is this tax on the
jrroiluccr. We refer now to Pennsylvania
farmers, miners, iron-masters, manufactur
ers ; of those, within our own borders who
till the ground, or extract its hidden
treasures, or give increased value by labor
to raw material. Over these, at leustj
there shou'd be no license of oppression.
They obey the laws, support the govern
ment, are our brethren, bone of our bone
and flesh of our flesh. Yet we undertake
now to demonstrate that on every one of
these, most useful citizens who sends his
prodae either east or west, or sells it to
any one who ships it on the Pennsylvania.
Railroad, a tax, unjut-t, because unequal,
is" levied by the legislation of the State.
Of all men, farmers may spcuk plainly
on this point, because all farmers should
know and feel, from costly experience, the
invidious degradation to which they are
subjected by this tonuage tax. They ex
pect to raise more on their farms than
they consume. They look to the superflu
ous products for the comforts of life, for
rcasouable indulgence in the amenities of
society, for decent breeding of their chil
dren. Our citizens have a light to this,
for their land is good, the climate is
healthy and they work hard.
ut this superfluous produce, to be
available, must find purchasers, and, as
there are few purchasers at borne, they
must seek a distant market. The course
of trade is eastward. Commonly they sell
what they can spare, and buy what they
need, in eastern localities. Sometimes
this is done directly, sometimes indirect
ly, by the medium of dealers to whom
they sell, and storekeepers from whom
they buy. But it is all the same in effect,
because on all alike this tonnage tax is
laid.
.Surely the-, at least, are no unreason
able iu declaring that they expect to get
juic the price of the eastern market lor
their produce; after deducting the expen
ses, and that they just as much worse off
than they have a right to be, in proportion
as these expenses are greater than they
ought to be. But if the State intervenes
and forces them to pay a tax on their
crops, which is not paid by people gen
erally, and makes a difference between
them and their fellow-citizens elsewhere,
it is unfair.
This is exactly what is done by the
tonnage tax, by which every ton of freight
which goes overthe Pennsylvania Railroad
has to pay tribute to the State Treasury.
It is a tax exclusive!y levied on those who
by their geographical locations, are com
pelled to u:c it. The people everywhere
else, who transport on any other railroad,
or by canal, turnpike, or any other mode
of conveyance, throughout the State, aie
free from any such charge. Almost every
county in the State has some public im
provement, and all persons send their prop
erty on these improvements, for whatever
tJie co&t of the freight atone i. But the
people within the line ot trade of this road
have to pay, besides the freight, this tax,
which no one else has to pay.
They may weil say we want no special
privileges, but we believe we .should not
bear special extortions. We ask uo favors,
but we demand our rights. The money
which the Commonwealth requires ought
to come from all men alike, or in propor-.
tion to their property; aud as he who uses
this road gets no more protection than
olheri, he ought not to puyrnore for it.
We kaow that what the citizen gives the
State is for the protection the State gives
the citizen. This being the reaf object
for which the government was formed,
tho moment our rulers go beyond this,
they practically dep irt from their legiti
mate functions, and do great injustice to
their constitutents.
The States of Maryland and New York,
so far from laying any taxes on their roads,
do all they can to aid them, and there is
no tonnage ta: whatever ; ou the contrary,
they have given them millions of dollars.
Of course, if the Pennsylvania Kailroad
charged the foreign freight with the tax,
and compelled its payment by increasing
the rates for transport, they could not
expect to get any ol it, because strangers,
independent in their selection of routes,
and governed only by their own interests,
would not willingly pay this road more
than they could get their business done
for on the other and rival roads competi
tion compels the Pennsylvania Railroad
either to abandon the through business or
to do it as cheaply as roads which are not
taxed. They have done so, and thus,
and thus only, retained Pennsylvania's
fair share of the foreign trade. In adopt
ing the course they acted under the emi
nent counsel, who . have given opinions
that the tax is unconstitutional. If the
foreign freight cannot be made to pay the
tax, it continues at least on the domestic
trallic, which thus suffers a gerioui embar
rassment, created by our own la'.
The situation of farmers is especially
hard. They are taxed for the privilege
of taking to market aud selling the results
of their toil, their wheat, oats, corn, rye,
hogs, horses, and cattle. Having sold
them and put the money iu their pockets
they either buy molasses, sugar, coffee,
tea, cloth, ruutliu, hardware, &ic , aud pay
another duty to take them heme, or they
bring their money home and buy these
articles from the country storekeeper, M ho
of course charges them, besides ordinary
profit, with the tax which has been al
ready paid on the goods, in addition to
the actual cost of transportation, bud has
enhanced their nominal, though not their
real value to the precise extent of this
extra expense. Thus a tax is paid both
ways. It is not simply a duty of three
mills per mile, but a duty each way of
this amount ; iu fact, the State by this
operation forbids the farmer to realize the
results of his labor, unless on payment to
her of two ingeniously contrived extor
tions. What is true in respect to the farming
interest, is equally true iu regard to all
the interests within the sphere of the mal
ign influence of this tax.
The same rigid rule applies to all the
mining, manufacturing and industrial class
es, and all groan alike uuder this common
oppression. There is community of suf
fering, and there should be unity of effort
for relief.
WHAT IS THE TRUE INTEREST 3F THE
STATE ?
Having thus proved the inequality of
this tax, and considered its eftect ou trans
porters, consumers and y.roducers, we re
cur to the general ouestiou,already partially
answered What is the true interest' of
Pennsylvania ?
No reasonable man will deny that the
public burthens ought to bear a just pro
portiou to the means of those on whom
they are imposed. Income taxes should
be graduated by wealth ; taxes ou property
should be regulated by its value. To
charge land iu Elk Couuty, worth only
one dollar per acre, the same tax as land
iu Philadelphia Couuty, worth one thous
and dollars au acre, would be universally
admitted injustice. It would be confisca
tion of the former and immunity to the
latter. To compel him who has an income
of one hundred dollars, to pay as much as
one having au income of one hundred thous
and dollars, would be revolting to the sense
of right. '
To the extent to which it operates, this
very thing is done by the tonnage tax
for there is no discrimination arising from
difference of value. A ton of silver and
a tou of iron pay the same duty. It "is
either too little for the former or too much
for the latter. As the most useful com
modities are most bulky and weighty, and
articles of luxury are generally the least
so, this tax is cficctive chiefly on the nec
essaries of life, and, by consequence, it
is most oppressive to those least able to
bear it.
It is impolitic, therefore, not only in
itself, but because of its adverse operation
on the traffic, aud tho citizens least com
petent to endure its pressure. Directed
mainly against our domestic products, it
is not, nor could it have been, designed
by its secret contrivers pr innocent sup
porters to be a fair measure, either of rev
enue protection. Nothing but the expla
nation, already given, of how it came to
be laid, will account fur its violation of
the plainest principles of political ccono-
Tlie only real moans of securing public
prosperity is by industrious development
of natural resources. The great instru
ments of material progress are agricultu
culture, mines, manufactures, and com
merce, each amply possessed by Penn
sylvania. Here nature has lavished, with genercus
profusion, her richest gifts, concentrating
in a high degree, every source of individ
ual prosperity and national wealth. Here
is an empire, complete within itself, self
sustaining, independent; a country equal
ly adapted for agriculture, manufactures
and commerce, and abounding in mineral
treasures; a climate neither warm enough
to enervate, nor so cold as to prevent all
cultivation suited to a temperate region ;
commanding alike the communications of
the Atlantic and tho Mississippi; inhabi
ted by patriotic, industrious" aud virtuous
citizens.
: Such a country and tuch a people are
worthy of the most enlightened legislation.
Taxes upon trade, obstruction of inter
course, discouragement to industry, intru
sion by government iuto private interests,
legislative meddling in individual enter
prise, all formerly universal, have been
almost everywhere abolished, because
proved by experience to be of the most
mischievous tendency, paralyzing the citi
zen, and thereby damaging the State.
The independent man is always the most
powerful, because, each person being the.
best judge of his own interest, untrammel
ed effort must be tbc most effective. A
nation is but an aggregation of individu
als ; wherefore, what promotes the pros
perity of each, gecures the prosperity of
all. It has been shown that the tonnage
tax does interfere with individual industry,
preventing realization of its legitimate re
ward; that it enhances the cost of the
necessaries of life; that it retards produc
tion and diminishes the fair fruits of labor,
operating thus to the double disadvantage
of producer and consumers. It follows
that this private detriment is public loss,
and therefore inconsistent with enlightened
legislation, the ruling idea of which is
rUEEDO&i, both political aud personal.

Right Again.
Last week's Mountaineer, in a short" ar
ticle for our especial benefit, gives forth
that John H. Douglass, Esq., Chairman
of the Douglas Democratic County Com
mittee of Cambria county, is a Breckin
ridge Democrat, and not, as we supposed,
a Douglas Democrat. AYe are sorry if wc
have in any way compromised Mr. Dou
glass by placing him in a false position be
fore the people of the county, but the mis
take, to say the least of it, was a natural
one. Chairman of the Douglas Commit
tee, and at the same time a Breckinridge
man ! that seems to us to be a queer tort
of political masquerading.
But, talking of 'aid and comfort,' Moun
taineer, are you aware of the fact th.at.yttu
have been throwing that benighted body
of patriots, the Breckinridge wing, several
large crumbs of comfort? To instance:
In the first place, you speak of them as
''mutineers in the Democratic camp;"
then you say that the Chairman of your
County Committee is . a Breckinridge
man ; and to crowu the whole, we are in
formed that he is a "firm and consistent
supporter of the usages of the Democratic
party" ! So we see that some good can
come out of Nazareth.
Tio President Ea Uoafe.
Mr. Lincoln's journey toward Washing
ton city is more like a triumphal march
than anything else- Everywhere on his
route he is met by crowds on crowds, who
testify their admiration of the man in ev
ery conceivable manner. He has made a
number of speeches, one of which deliv
ered ?t Indianapolis wc here give:
Fellow-Citizens of the State of
Indiana: I am here to thank you much
for this magnificent welcome, and still
more for the very generous support given
by your State to that political cause which
I think is the true and just cause of the
whole country and the whole world. Sol-
"Thare is a time to keep si-
and when men wrangle by the
ivuee,
month, with uo certainty that they mean
the same thing, while using the same
word, it perhaps were as well if they would
keep silence. The words "coercion" and
"invasion" arc much used in these days,
and often with some temper and hot
blood. Let us make sure, if we can, that
we do not misunderstand the meaning of
those who use them. Let us get the exact
definitions of "these words, not from dic
tionaries, but from the men themselves,
who certainly deprecate the things they
would represent by the use of the words.
What, then, is "coercion V What is "in
vasion?" Would the inarching of an r
my iuto South Caroliua, without the con
sent of her people, and with hostile intent
toward them, be invasion ? I certainly
think it would be "coercion ;" al.o if the
South Carolinians were forced to submit.
Uut if the United Sl tti thould mrrefg hold
and retake its own forts and other property
and ctAUxt the duties on fort ijn iiijjrttttions,
or rem withhold the vi' li's from plan tchere
tlay wire huhituaVy rilatd, would any or
all tin t- things Lc "imasion" or "coercion ?"
Do our professed lovers of the Union, but
who spitefully resolve that they will resist
coercion and invasion, understand that
such thing as these on hc part of the
United States would be coercion or inva
sion of a State? If so, their idea of means
to preserve the object of their great affec
tion would seem to be exceedingly thin
and airy. If sick, the little pills of the
homeepathist wnuld be too large for it to
swallow. In their view, the Union, as a
family relation, would seem to be no reg
ular marriage, but rather a eort of free-love
arrangement, to be maintained on passion
al attraction. By the way, in what con
sists the special sacredness of a State? 1
speak wot of the position assigned to a
State in the Union by the Constitution,
for that by the bond we all recognize. That
position, however, a State cannot carry out
of the Union with it. I speak of that as
sumed primary right of a State to rule all
which is less than itself, and to ruin all
which is larger than itself. If a State and
a county, in a given cae, should be equal
in extent of territory and equal in number
of inhabitants, in what, us a matter of
principle, is the State better thau the
county? Would an exchange of names
be an exchange of rights ? Upon what
principle, what rightful principle, may a
State, being no more than one-fiftieth part
of the nation in soil and populaticn, break
up the nation aud then coerce a proportion
ably larger subdivision of itself iu the
most arbitrary way ? What mysterious
right to play tyrant is cjnfeired on a dis
trict of country with its people by merely
ealliug it a State? Fellow-citizens, I am
not asserting anything. I am merely ask
ing questions for you to consider. And
now allow me to bid you farewell.
The President arrived at Pittsburg on
Friday evening, where he was welcomed
by an-immense outpouring of the people.
He made an excellent speech the next
morning, after which he was esortcd to
the Allegheny city depot, where he took
the ears for 'Buffalo. Thence he proceed
ed to Albany and New York. To-day he
leaves for Trenton and Philadelphia, and
to-morrow (Friday) he will visit Harris
burg. Mr. If a in II ii lln lioule.
Mr. Hamlin, the Vice President elect,
accompanied by his wife, left Bangor on
Monday morning, on his wa to Washing
ton. He was escorted to the depot by
thousands of his fellow-townsmen, who
cheered and bade him farewell. Previous
to the starting of the train, Mr. Hamlin
responded in a brief address, as follows:
"I go to discharge the official duties which
have been conferred by a generous people,
relying on Divine Providence. I trust
that this confidence shall never be betrav-
s
ed. I know full well that dark clouds are
looming around the political horizon, and
that madness rules the hour, but I am
hopeful still. Our people are not only
loyal to the Government' but are fraternal
to all its citizens, and when in practice, it
shall be demonstrated that the Constitu
tional rights of all th'e States will be re
spected and maintained, by following the
paths illumined by Washington, Jefferson
and Madison, may we not reasonably hope
and expect that quiet will be restored, and
the whole country advance in a career
which will elevate man in his social, mor
al and intellectual condition."
. JGSaF The Mountaineer says that it is
not likely that Douglas or Breckinridge
will run for the Presidency again. Which
nobody will deny.

CHAPTER XXXIf.
Joliustoitn Continued.
I have not the census table of 18C0 be
fore me, but believe the whole population
of Johnstown and hete surroundings to be
some 8,500, enough certainly to entitle
her to a city, charter.- Of this I would es
timate the population of Johnstown proper
at 3,500, Conemaugh borough at 1,200,
Kernvillc at 000, Cambria City at 1,000,
Milhille at 804), the remaining portion ot
the population being in the precincts.
The Pennsylvania Germans originally
preponderated in Johustown ; but now
the inhabitants are as heterogeneous a
mass as can be found in any town of like
population in the country. Foreign Ger
mans compose a large portiou of the town
arc to be found in every pnrtof it, and
are engaged in every branch of business
carried on within its limits. Natives of
Ireland compose a large proportion of the
inhabitants of Conemaugh borough, Cam
bria City ami Millvilie, while man- are
found in Johnstown proper. A large
number of Welsh, chiefly engaged in or
about the Rolling Mill, inhabit the lower
part of Johnstown, Millviilc and Cambria
City.
The greater portion of the oScers and
urtizans connected with the Rolling Mill
are Americans by birth, who reside in
Millviilc and that part of Johnstown
which is"nearest to their place of employ
ment. The general rulc in regard to the in
crease of cities and towns is, that they
tprcad or increase vp the strctfin. This
rule has been exemplified in. the history
of almost every city. In Johnstown, ow
ing to local causes, this rule of population
has been reversed.
I have stated that Johnstown, beinir the
point of intersection of the Pennsylvania
Canal and Allegheny Portage Railroad,
received a great impetus when the "Main
Line" was completed. The transhipment
of goods from the cars to the boats, and
vice versa, gave empkmcnt to many hands,
depot buildings sprung up, each transpor
tation line had its warehouse, and a rapid
increase in population in the upper part
cf Johnstown was the natural consequence.
This impulse was soon checked, howev
er, by the improvements of "Agitator,"
John Dougherty, who obviated the neces
sity of unloading and reloading, by his
Portable Car Body Boat system. This
system avoided all transhipments. A rail
road car, filled with merchandise at Phil
adelphia, on arriving at Columbia, was
hoisted from its body by tackle into a
canal boat adapted to the purpose, which,
filled with these cars, proceeded to Ilolli
daysburg, where, by the same means, they
were placed on car bodies; and again re
moved at Johnstown in the same manuer
into a boat for Pittsburar.
But this was not enough for the Acrita
tor. He had succeeded in running cars
on the canal he must needs run boats on
the Railroad. Accordingly, his famous
section boats were his next invention. This
was to construct a boat in three or four
sections, each section water-tight and per
fect iu itself. By the use of trunk on the
Railroad, this system was rendered perfect.
Thus, the three or four sections composing
one of these boats, placed on as many
trucks, arriving at Johnstown from the
East, Avcre lifted from their trucks by
tackle, secured together by clasps, and
thus assuming the shape and appearance
of a single boat, proceeded onwards to its
destination.
I need scarcely state that these innova
tions in the carrying business were injuri
ous to the prosperity of this portion of
Johustown : but a still more severe stroke
awaited her. This was the total abandon
ment of the Old Portage, causu 1 by the
increased facilities afforded by the Penn
sylvania Railroad, and the construction of
the Ni w Portage.
This gave Conemaugh borough a back
set from which she has never entirely re
covered. The depot buildings have been
demolished ; the warehouses have gone to
wreck ; aud those engaged in the shipping
and forwarding business have turned their
attention to other pursuits.
In the meantime, bi-hio Johustown, The
Cambria Iron Wokks had been erected,
and;were soon followed by the Johnstown
Furnace, and not long after this, the
laying out of Cambria City. This gave
a downward tendency to the town, and
hence, for the last few years, the chief in
crease of Johnstown proper has been down
toward the "Point," as it is called, or the
confluence of Stony creek and Conemaugh ;
while Millvilie and Cambria City hive
beeu entirely built up since that time.
