WorKing-iTIeii Aho$!
It is high time working men of Pennsylva
nia by which we mean farmers, manufactur
ers, merchants, mechanics, tradesmen, laborers,
every body in fact but rich or poor loafers,
who won't work if they have a chance to
take active measures to have ihe doctrine of
Protection to Home Industry .to-incorporated in
our Tariff Laws It is geuing to be clearer ev
ery day, ihat they must either put down iho
Tariff of '46 or be put down themselves. Both
cannot stand together. Under the present sys
tem Great Biitain is the workshop for Ameri
ca. The money that should siay here to keep
our people employed, is sent to England to en
rich British manufacturers and working-men.
The policy of the day is to import British iron
and export American gold.
There is but one way to arrest the evil. It
is to call meetings in every city, town and vil
lage, in favor of increased duties of the great
staples of Pennsylvania to pour petitions day
after day into both Houses of Congress to
write letters to our representatives and to show
them that we are in earnest. It must come to
that at last, and the sooner wo begin the soon
er can we hope to succeed.
We do not urge this as a party, but a Penn
sylvania measure, It concerns all Whigs and
Democrats. --The two parlies have a sufficient
number of exciting questions to discuss, with
out quarrelling about the propriety of a meas
ure so vital to their interests, in regard to which
they bhould be of one mind and one" heart.
So says the Reading Journal, ai d we heart
ly endorse it.
To Keep a Stove as Bright as a Coach Bo

it ; put two spoonsful! to a gill of alom water ; I

then lake a dry brush and a dry lustre, and rub !

part, before polished, become so dry as to look !
grey, moisten it with a wet brush, and proceed ;
as before. j
The Sonierville Railroad Co.
Several large and valuable tracts of coal land,
situated in the Lackawanna and Wyoming val
leys have lately been purchased for this com
pany. From tho fact that these purchases have
been made, it is 'nferred that the company will
soon construct its railroad.
This company is belter known in this region
as ihe Drinker company. By its charier it is
authorized to make a road from the Lackawan
na valley, at or near Harrison, through Cobb's
Gap, to the Delaware river, a short distance
above the Water Cap, at which point it is de
signed to intersect a railroad, for which a char
ter has been granted, to run across New Jer
sey and terminate in the vicinity of the ciiy j)f
New York.
At Harrison the Sommersville railroad, when
finished, will form a junction with the Leggett's
Gap railroad, now constructing from that point,
through Susquehanna couniy, to the line of the
N. York & Erie railroad in the valley of 'he
Susquehanna river. The Leggett's Gap com
pany own the railroad between Owego and
Ithaca, thereby furnishing a connecting link
between the Susquehanna valley and Cayuga
I5ake. Of course the Company must connect
iheir two roads, which can be done either by
extending their main railroad from Great Bend
to Owego, or by making an arrangement for the
use of the New York and Erie railroad be
tween the two places. In either case the com
pany will have the advantage of an unbroken
line from Harrison to Iihaca, and will be able
to supply central New York either from Bing
hamton by way of ihe Chenango canal, or from
Ithaca by way of Cayuga Lake.
' When the railroad of which we have now
spoken shall be completed thay will furnish a
continuous line from New Yoik through the
heart of the coal and iron region of this state
lo Cayuga Lake. Honesdale Democrat
