DOMESTIC.

The Legislature of INDIANA, now in
session, are actively engaged in the organ
ization of the details of the state govern
ment. A resolution has been passed by
them instructing their Senators and Re
personalities in Congress TO use their in
tiuence TO have the late compensation law
of Congress repealed"
Much debate has taken place on a pc
tition or letter from w. L. Summer, of
Williamson county, Tenn. requesting that
the Legislature may enable HIM TO bring
into the state Number OF slaves, with
the view which he expresses il The follow
ing words:
If permitted by the laws of Indiana, to
bring and free them; TO purchase land
Tor them, and settle them on it; to give
them provisions for the first year, and
furnish them with tools for agriculture
and domestic mandatory, and next
spring with domestic animals. You must
be aware, Sir, that This will he attended
with no SMALL expenditure OF money and
trouble. think, that, after man has
had the use of slaves and their ancestors
20 or 80 years, it is unjust and inhuman,
TO set them free, mprovided with home,
&C. DC. All that have were raised by
my father and myself, and the oldest is
about my age (i6.) | am also very des
rous to leave the slave states, and spend
my few remaining days in that state
where Involuntary slavery is not admissi-
bic; and will, with the blessing of God,
prepare to do SO, as soon as | can settle
my affairs
The mode inwhich this letter should be
treated, is the subject of the debate. 1t
appears to be agreed, that the constitu
ton of the state forbids compliance with
his request. Nat. Int.

FOR six or eight weeks previous 10 the SD.
pesrsnce Of The phenomenon Just described,
very little rain had fsileo on any par, Of this
continent; ss far as we have heard, The drought
was general.
To account for the phenome enon, as il sp-
peared here, let Us suppose the atmosphere
10 DC Sbundantly charged with vapor taken up
by the sun, bu, not yet formed into clouds OF
sufficient density TO fall In rain, but of dem
sIty suf'ieient 10 cause refrsction Of The suns
rays in their passage through it.--Let US also
suppose uortheaster commencing, (Which
was observed by DR.. Franklin always TO com
mence In the southwest,) forming counter.
curfen, IN the higher regions of the a,mos-
phere, carrying the dense vapor with il from
the ). w. TO The N. E.-And let Us suppose
also the most dense part Of the volume Of va
por to extend from the S. +. TO the n. w.
Then the rays OF tho sun being retractsd in
their passage through this dense medium,
would form the primary halo, with piismalic
colofs proportioned 70 the density OF The me-
dunn and the intensity Of his rsys--ihc mes.
dense part Of the medium or surrounding va.
por, causing q concentration Of the sGn's
rays on that part, forming mock sun, or sun
dog The rays Of light thrown off from which,
would form the second circle on The surroun-
ding vapor The ssme,caus would occasion
a concentration Of the rays Of light forming
mock suns nearly on . tign, iiDe n w. and
S. L. on The second circle, from The mock sun
on the northeastern limb Of The primary halo;
The rays OF light thrown of from which would
form the TWO circles Of the third order, Of
double the diameter Of the second which
circles crossing The seeo5dary halo On the
nertheastera part, forming another coneen-
,ra,ion Of tho rays Of light, which being
again thrown off on the more distant aud
less derse medium, would form The greaI
circle, extending below the horizon IN the N.
E. and crossing The third ciIclss in diree-
tiUn if continued, to meet at tho south wes-
tern limb Of the primary halo.
That these are the causes Of those wsnder-
fu phenomena seems confirmed by the north
east gale which followed, commencing on
Monday evening, and BY the abundance OF
rao which has since fallen. AT this place
the rain commenced on the 9th, at night, and
fell in torrents, almost without iniermissioD,
for eight days in succession. If the Phenom-
enoHis not satisfactorily accounted for to u"
| would be happy to hear his surmises Of the
probable causes. A.
