Coal Companies.—The following .Me morial, which has been'signed by every individual Collier, now in the melon, with • one or two exceptionsovill bo 'presented to the; legislature in the course of a . few • days: 7o the Honorable, the Serate and Hous+ of /Tepee. eentatirres of the Commonwealth of li'ennsylea - nia. - • The 'Memorial' of the undersigned. now indi. vidufilly engaged in th_c mining of Anthracite Coal in Schuylkill roanty, RESPECTFULLY steawrru: That 4iisr With feelings of deep interest and a larm, they witness the exertions of certain Capi talists and Monoporists, (now within the Halls of your Honorable bodies,) to obtain chartered privi leges for the purpose of mining coal; privileges which if grunted. most tend not only to destroy the exertions-and blight the hopes of your Mew. orialists, and drive them from this vast field ot competition, but place the coal trade entirely in the hands of a few Corporate Bodies; thus legal. izing a monopoly of one of the ) most important necessaries of domestic economy; an article which must evemday add to the wealth and !importance of one State, placing her at once pre eminent in .U.e Union, with regard to Manufactures. Your Memorialists arc well, aware, that ape• eious arguments hare been made use of, to induce your lionorablel3udies to believe, that rto mate- rial quantity of coal can be mined without the in. ter vention of dock companies—that the mining of coal is too precarious, and respires too much capital for individual enterprize. &c. &e. We therefore pray that your Honorable bodies will receive with caution such statements, as their fallacy is at once shown by the fact,that come 'in dividual operators have mined more coal the past season, than one of the companies located in this region, the whole fizturea and apparatus of which would be considered disreputable in the most hum'ile mining estahlishment in the region. The large-quantity of coal sent to market by the 'other company, it is well known, owes much more to the enterptize and exertions of the indefatigable gentleman at the head of that company, than ..to its chartered privileges, and is at once a conclu sive demonstration., that individuals arc fully com peteot to meet bny demand in the article of coal that the-market may require. A question hero suggests its6lf: was not some of the coal sent to mar ket by this company. the past.seassan,parchasedfrom individuals; and if so, (of which there can be doubt,) dog's it not im „ply that individuals can mine coal at least as well 'as companies, when companies can afford to buy their coal to sell again? • It is a matter worthy of notice, and perhaps not generally known to your Honorable Bodice, _that chartered companies , with all their reputed capital and advantages, have made hut one effort to trace the existence of our coal measures below what is termed the water level; and that attempt, owing to the want of knowledge on the part of the agents of the company, was decidedly calculated to establish the absurd Weeny that our coal mea l:imps terminate at isvery inconsiderable distance' below that level. Individual enterprise, however, was not to be lulled into repose like the distant Directors of a Coal Company, but was "wide a wake" at the alarming theory, which wos soon refuted by the driving of five different inclined planes, within the past season, for the purpose of exploring the vast depths ofuur etial veins. Two Steam Engines, ullwenty horsopower each, have been already erected, and a third contratted for, for this purpose, and yet you arc told that iddi vidual enterprise and capital, is ineentetent to the mining aerial in any quantity. Your 'Memorialists cannot but approach your honorable bodies with confidence, when they re flect that they address themselves to the combin. ed sound sense of the Repreteolotisri of the Peo pie, 'the bone and sinew - of the Cinnmonwealth. They ask for what? for nothing, but to be ullotv ed to explore the lvdden treasures of the earth, as mossof you individually are periniitted to till its surfice or plough its mighty waters in your own way,& without the intervention ofstock companies. Few of your Memorialists would have had the honor of addressing you as Collins, had they not most confidently believed that-the very able report of the Committee of the Senate of Pennsylvania, df which S. J. Packer, Esq. was Chairman, in the year 1834, had completely settlad the question; that corporsto Companies were 'entirely ormeees eary to the full and complete spacers of Alining Coal. To use its own concluding words, •• There is at present no farther Lsgistatice pr•uvisioni as. cessary to protect, facilitate, or encourage the Coal t - Your Memorialists therefore ,:have but little more to add:- - They pledge them elves individu ally and eeiteelieelyithat they ixpssess the means and the,ste c t ..to employ, the appeacbing season, every pro . . - 411,11finer•in' the ren, and are desi rous of fully meeting the dema nds of the market for Anthracite Coal, if le ft to tb . undisturbed en ". • meet . of rights in common with other branch es , 'ndastry, for which your rilemorillistit will ever pr .

The Allegheny Dem ocrat, another Van Buren paper, published at Pittsburg, follows suit.

GREAT 01110 WHIG CONVENTION A,great Convention of the people of Ohio was•held at Columbus, on the 22d Febru ary, the anniversary of the birth of the Immortal Founder of our Liberties. It is considered the largest political assem blage ever witnessed in our country.— Twelve hundred Delegates were in attend ance. N o house in the:city being large enough to hold the Convention, this body was under the necessity of adjourning to the Public Square, a teporary organiza tion having been first e ected at the Thea tre, the largest buildin in the city. At the hour of three the va t multitude ristm bled in the great Publie Square, the Star Spangled Banner waving over them, when Gov. Jeremiah Morrow was elected Presi dent, together ,with nineteen Vice Presi dents and twelve Secretaries. We are happy to announce that Ilsaarsos 'and; GRANGER were unanimously nominated AS candidates for Presidept and Vice Presi dent of the United States.

We cannot require higher or more conclusive t6-tituony of the fitness and qualifications of Geiniarrison than the n recommendations of the most distinguish it - ed of his fellow citizens—men who were not only eye witnesses in many instances t i of his brilliant military career, and specta.- tors of the manner in whicb.he discharged . his civil functions, but likewise men who are at present intimately acquainted with JAU DON, Cpihier his character, words and actions, and who would not hazard:their own reputations, 'tar less betray their country hfrecom mending a man for the high office of Pres ident, who is destitute of the necessary qualifications,as his enemies are in the ha- hit of alleging..

We call upon all such to reflect that the fellow citi zens of Gen. Harrison are those whose si tu:it:iota enables them to be best acquaint ed with his present qualifications, and that some of themosterninent of these have by their rte-lepai, borne the highest possible testimony in his favor, besides the vast multitude of others who have come for ward and nominated him.
