Tuc r por was ngp'ed to, without the v**hs and nays liemg ordered. The Chronicle and Sentinel next quotes in proof of Gen.

Witli regard to a tariff'of protection there is probably no difference in the opinions of the two candidates for the Presidency. And the otty difference at present on Ihe subject m' abolition, so far as their opinions have been published, seems to be, that whilst Mr. Van Buren believes Congress possess power under the constition to abolish slavery at any time in the District of Columbia, and perhaps also in the other territories, he deems it inexpedient to do>oj but Ge<?. Harrison considers it both inexpedient and unconsti -? - -f- a .J* ?... tutional witnouc me consent ui inc people and the States interested.

Tke Burning Mountain.?We find | the following interesting particulate in the Lehigh, (I'a.) IMIeiiri. They are * communicated in a letter to the editor, * . dated I1 Mount Vesuvius, Schulkill ) 'H County. M<>y 31. 'i 0 Mr. Editor?I this morning paid ? *' visit to this place situated about 4 miles N. E. of Minersville, anil bv road 8 miles from Pottsvdle', to seethe uonder* ful effects of a coal mine on fire Arri(y ving at the foot of the mountain by the J* Jateral railroad, I approached the mouth ' of the mine from which there issued con siderable water, which to the trste, Is 1 highly charged with sulphur and some iron corroded fom the^rails, laid in he gangwayof the mine, and depositing a sediment ai preaching near the color of chromic yellow. It was at this opening the fire took place in January, 113H, caused by the t. miners having made a fire in the mouth i. of it to keep the w >ters from free* ng -n a>K>ut the rails, so that they could com\% in* nee their.operations early in the spring, m which through carelessness ign ted a# the.propping or the gangway, and from f. which it camumnicated to the coal dirt w before it was discovered, The miners Its then endeavored to extinguish it, but it was beyond their power, and after hav ? ins wo Red at two nights and a day, they r, left it in despair of stopping i * ravages, lu and which it is now impossible to ?to,? ^ Going from thence up the mountain n- (which laces the South) about 15b yards, P(j 1 arrived at the first crater which is in ^ the shape of an inverted eliptical cone, (]8 about 40 by 70 feet d ameter and suns .some 15 feet below the surface, iu the centre of which the cole vem. ?r miN 13 on fire, smouldering af it *ith dint and stones which have caved in upon it*the .stones are burnt to ii peartnci like lime. Tlie smell of sulphur here fa highly perceptible} from the North end df*thfs crater there issues a rumbling noise like distant thunder, and the heat appears to be'intense. About t'O feot higher up the mountain I arrived at * another crater perhaps 30 feet indiata$? ter, wlueb is a cKasm apparently about JR> ft. deep with much smoke issuing from the connection with the first crater on its South; the West side of this chasm if a ina-s of immense stone with fire underit as for as the opening ex sM, the rurobltny noise-before mentioned is here mare daa* tinet than at-the H?st crater and the heat gr at eh both caased'perhaps bj the wM being from the South.
