Important Improvement in the Manufac.
ture OF Iron.
A discovery has lately been made b,
| Mr.. Simeon BroadneadoW OF New York
in Tue manufacture Of Iron, by means o
which the Iron Ore is by only one pro
cess converted into Wrong t Iron, with
oul bsing frs! made into Pig Iron, and al
a less expense than the Pig Iron can b.
made.
The Iron Ore is placed upon the floor
OF a reverberatOfy furnace, The flame o!
the fire passing over ii; when chemical
compound is used TO unite the elements OF
the lron by separating the sag entirely
IRON it. By this first, only operation, the
Wrought Iron comes out as perfect in ey-
cry respect ,as that by the double opera
lion OF pudding aud pllins Pig Iron,
and, for the purpose Of manufacturing
Steel, even sur asses it. BY this process,
Wrought Iron OF the best quality can be
produced at cost not exceeding twenty-
fus dollars aud half per ton.
To make The lrol Ore into oalls Of
Wrought Iron Will require no blast, nor
machinery OF any kind; the Anthracite OF
oltumInous Goals being used with equal
advantage in common alr-lurnace, a
good DRAFT being all that is wanting
These balls Of Wrought Iron car be
mace at good profit IF the furnace is
built near the mines OF mineral and coal)
for fourteen dollars per ton.
The immense advantages of this plan
TO the country at large cannot be compul-
ed in the single article of Railroad Iron,
it will be a saving OF millions of dollars to
the United STATES; for, by statistical Ia
b!es we have already semitic England for
that article alone the sum of Thir,y.two
Millions of Dollars. We hope, therefore,
10 see many of our old Rolling Mills,
that are now lying idle throughout the
country, In active operation, manufacture
ing this article; that machinery which is
capable of rolling out Boiler Plate Iron
being sufficiently strong and efficient for
all the purposes of Rlliroad Iron. The
inventor informs US that, with capital OF
One Hundred Thousand Dollars, forty
IONS Of Railroad Iron can be manufactured
every twenly.tour hours.

The1Rishts OF Conscience.

An interesting decision in case of con
science has been recently made in Lehigl
county, in this State. Judge Banks gave
an opinion in tri1l short time ago
which is di eclly the reverse Of that giver
by Judge Lewis, of Lycoming, year OIL
Two since, respecting the right which a
parent has 10 control the action Of his mi.
nor children in their religious opinions
The facts of the case, as we learn from
our exchanges are as follows : 1t appears
that father entered Methods: Episco
pal Church for his daughter, a girl Of 5
years OF age, took her by the arm, raised
ner from her knees and told her 10 come
home, This produced excitement, which
ended in violence ard assault and battery,
upon which an indictment was found and
the case tried.
La the opinion of Judge Banks, given
on this occasion, and which has been pub.
liSbet, the Constitution guarantees the
right of every individual to adop, any
creed or mode Of worship which his con-
science approves, though this liberty of
conscience is restricted to the worship o.
Almighty God, and extends TO 10 olher
worship whatever.
The Cons tuition declares, that no hu.
man authority can in any case whatever
control or interfere with the rights of con.
science The exercise of parental au-
lhorty by flther, so as to control or in.
ieriere with the rights of conscience of a
minor child would in Judge Banks opin.
ion, be an exercise Of human authority, so
as TO control or interfere with the rights
of conscience in a particular case, where
as it is declared, that it cannot be done in
any case whatever. This, he says is the
fundamental law Of The land. Ii is bind.
ing upon all parents.
Judge Lewis, it will be remembered,
gave his opiuion in similar case, that
during legal minority, the law Of hliaI
obedience takes the precedence ofall other
laws which are binding on the child

CASSIUS NJ. CLAY.

This individual has given new proc
of his claim to the title Of Phianthropist
by restoring to his slaves the mali enable
birthright Of freedom, at a sacrifice to
himself as far as property is concerned
Of about forty thousand dollars! Con-
science has triumphed over the cursed
us: for gold. Tho name of Cassius M
Clay, together with Birney's and Brs-
bane's, will be heard in thunder-cheers
on that day when the freedom shout shall
go up to heaven from all the Southern
hills. He will be remembered in better
age.
But there is dark side to the picture.
Will this orator, so eloquent for freedom,
with his heart throbbing high al the re-
membrance of his own recent costly sa-
cridce, will he now prefer his aid to
add new power to an institution, which
at this day threatens the Union with war
and dissolution? Will he assist in annoint
ing as chief ruler in the kingdom,
a member Of the fraternity whose
bond Of union is written and sealed
with human blood! Yes he will do it
this once. Then he will take higher
ground. Mark how he regrets the step
he consents to take:
Tn saying this much in justification Of
my course in voting for Mr. Clay, should
be false to my own reputation, ungratciul
TO that large portion of antislavery men
who have sympathized with me in my
feeble efforts in the cause Of universal
liberty, g. recreant 10 that glorious cause

time is near at hand when public senti-
ment, will not, ought not and cannot hold

the Christian religion and our republican
Institutions, based professedIy on the
principle of "the greatest good to the

next presidential election, when so
much light shall have been shed upon
this subject, should be deemed fit to rule
over a republican, Christian people who
shall violate, by holding slaves, the only
two principles upon which either chris
tianity or republcanism can stand the test
ofphilosophical scrutiny for single mo-
ment.'
1t is evident from this, that party pref
udices and personal Partially for his
friend and relative, have gained the
ascendency over cool reason and the
stern demands of conscience. -Four years
more must be given for slavery to in
crease its power and to extend its domin-
ions, till the cry of the crushed and the
remonstrances of the plying can be
drowned by the laugh Of scorns and the S
bold defiance Of the trampers of men. {
