FROM WAsHtNGToN.-rh The Oregon ques-
ton begins to assume a more amicable phase.
The resolutions of Notice have been adopted
by both Houses, and the war spirit has very
much subsidized. The subject has afforded a
fruitful crop of v%alorous speeches and tremen-
dously bold defiance from men, whose /" mas
terly inactivity" would probably be their
most distinguishing trait in time of actual
warfare.
The House has appointed a Committee TO
inquire into the charges of peculation, &C.,
brought by c. J. Ingersoll against Daniel
Webster in relation to his use of the g secret
service fund.- when Secretary of State; and
another Committee to inquire as to the man.

THOSE FEATHERS,

We lately received a present of two or
three pounds of very nice feathers. There is
nothing very remarkable in this fact, but the
way they happened to be in our possession
is rather curious. Stephen and Abby Foster
had made an appointment at Chagrin Falls.
The friends there were about making prepa-
rations to send for them, and in order that
the labor and expense might not all rest on
one individual, it was agreed 10 ascertain
what each person present at the time the mat
ter was talked of, would be willing to con-
tribute. Several had mentioned what thew
would be willing TO do, when a merchant bv
the name of Williams, a respectable man so
called, and as we were informed, a member
of the NJ. f. Church, being asked what he
would give, replied "Two pounds of feath-
ers," and another said "In give a quart Of
tar" The meeting was held a good one it
was Disappointing no doubt the expectations
of sundry mobocrats. The circumstance
above related was spoken of in Abby Fosters
presence, who requested one of her friends
TO call on Williams and get the feathers.-
The individual called, but Williams refused
to deliver them without an order from her,
The order was given and the feathers deliv-
cred. We have them now in our possession,
and shall make a very different, and ruch
better use of them, than we suppose the do
nor intended to have them applied 10, when
he offered to furnish two pounds of feathers,
and his kindred spirit kept him in counte-
nance by the prolfer Of a quart of tar.

o. We would suggestto our friends Bar
naby and Davis, that perhaps they have said
about as much upon the subject they are dis
cussing as will be profitable at the present
time. Ono has written more than seven, and
the other nearly twelve columns; and they
must bear in mind that a minority of our read
ers are not particularly interested in the posi-
ton of the Society of Friends.

o. We have received within a few days,
communications enough for two or three num-
bers of our paper. Some we give this week,
and such of the others as are suited to our
columns shall receive due attention. We
hope the length Of the review of S. Steele's
sermon, will not deter any one from perusing
it. We have been informed that tpenty Of
the members of the church of which he is
pastor, recently separated themselves from it
upon anti-slavery grounds. Thus tho leaven
works and the good cause progresses. Little
by little the world is awakening to a percep-
ton of moral principles; first they are seen
through a glass darkly, and then appear in
the brightness of their own glory. The good
time is c~oming-let every one lend his aid to
speed it on.

Men are sometimes greatly mistaken in
their reckoning. Shareholders are sometimes
reckoned as Christians, military murderers as
followers of Jesus, wine-bibbers as friends
of temperance, and s%ynagogucs Of Satan as
churches of Christ. The fact that these
"~rackoned abolitionists" are favorable to the
expatriation Of the colored man, is to us suf-
fcient evidence that they were net abolition.

"~CIIRISTIAN RULERS"

The American Citizen, in reply to a ques-
ton put by the Covenanter, and which was
copied into our last No. under the above
caption, after defining a creed to be "a form
of words in which the articles Of faith are
comprehended," says
"The Liberty Party has no religious
% crecd," nor do they require their candidates
to have any. But they do expect to select
for their candidates men who fear God and
regard the interests of man,-yet, without
reference to the peculiar views each may en-
terrain respecting ecclesiastical connections.
If a mans political views and his practice are
correct, we may well infer that his moral sem
liments cannot be much out of order. Yet
a mans religious "creed" may be extreme
" orthodox, and his civil and political prac-
tees anything but Christian. We choose,
as a political party, to Judge of a mans faith
by his works. If the fruit be good the tree
cannot be very corrupt. We may trust those
only with our confidence whose integrity is
manifest in actions, not in creeds."

THE REFORMER.

The path of the reformer is not, as some
appear TO think, strown with roses, and his
life an easy and a pleasant one. Instead of
this, there is no way more difficult to tread,
no path more narrow and rugged. His life
is one constant scene Of battle and Of c%onflict;
and if he carries a post to day, it but shows
him the more clearly the necessity of attack
ing another tomorrow. There is for him no
truce while error exists, no rest while labor
is to be done &; if he ceases a moment from his
toll, he sta nds with his arms in his hands,
ready instantly to renew the conflict. Not
only are his actions misunderstood and mis-
represented, but his very language sounds
strangely in the cars of the world. He la.
bors to uproot the false foundation Of socie-
ty because it is based upon a selfish and OPP
prossive principle, buthis testimonies against
it are regarded as the rawlings of a fanatic
He urges all men TO live la conformity with
the beautiful law of love which Christ gave
to his disciples as their rule of life, "There-
fore all things whatsoever ye would that men
should do unto you, do We even so 10 them,"
and this is stigmatIzed as ranting. He ex-
poses the wickedness of those whom the
world delights to honor, points out the corrup-
ton of religious institutions, and denounces
as unjust and tyrannical an oppressive 60
vernmenl, and this is called abuse and vitu-
p%eration.
Such is what all reformers may expect in
a greater or lesser degree. Those who labor
at home. as we'll as those who labor abroad /;
those whose influence springs up in the
midst of the fireside circle, and those who
send forth the truth from the forum, or scat
ter it upon the wings of the press, will all
bear witness to the truth of this. Vain in
deed would be the expectation of the reform
er, if he looked for the need of praise from
the generation on whom his labors are bo-
slowed. He must be content to do good for
the sake Of doing it, with a consciousness
that he will be misrepresented by some and
maligned by others; and if he desires that
men shall speak well of him, he must patient.
