HoUsE.-The pending question was on
the motion to reconsider the vote by which
was passed the resolution directing the Ser
geant-at-Arms to keep Mr.. Simonton in close
confinement, and to lay that motion on the
table.
Mr.. Humphrey Marshall asked where Mr..
SimOnton was? Whether he was in custo-
dy, and if so, by what authority?
The Speaker replied, that was a question
not properly before the House.
Mr. Marshall maintained that it was per-
tinent to know the fact
Mr.. Orr said Mr.. Simonton could not be
confined until a final disposition be made of
the resolution.
Mr. Clngman wanted the question again
brought before the House with a view to
amendment 49,.
MIR. Marshall, before the House voted,
wanted the prisoner brought to the bar.
The Speaker remarked that the Sergeant
alarms had informed him that Mr.. Simon
ton was in custody, and was present.
A voice-Where is he
RespOnse-There he is at his desk.
The pending question was decided in the
affirmative by ll6 against II. The House
then passed the bill introduced from the Sc
lect Committee to enforce the attendance of
witnesses and compel them to testify.

Minnesota Historical SOciety.-NIr. War
ren,s Lecture.

The literary reputation Of j. E. WARREN.
Esq, is SO well established, that our readers
do not require to be assured.that his Lee
ture-the second of the Historical Society
seres-which was delivered on the Doth
inst, was characterized by scholarship and
taste. The subjects Progress"
discussed, with special reference to the tran
sit from territorial To state organization,
and was introduced by a graphic sketch OF
the transformation which few Years have
witnessed upon the upper Mississippi. He
invoked wisdom, patience and patriotism in
the important construction of a state govern
ment-enjoining as the highest expcdiency,
aside from superior considerations, that the
foundations of our Northern Commonwealth
should be laid upon the fullest recognition
Of Equal Rights, and the protection Of every
citizen in their exercise.
A rapid survey of general history, induced
the lecturer to assert, that the tendency of
50, iety is to constant ameloration. He
cited the repeal of the British Corn Laws as
a forward movement, and in the same con-
nection developed very decided free trade
sentiments. On this point we make no issue
with Mr.. Warren: although we are not SO
sanguine as to anticipate a very speedy desc
lation of the Custom House. Direct Taxa
ton is practically the public resource of the
Statcs-indirect taxation or duties
upon C assumption, therefore becomes una
voidab!e for the support, without collision, of
the federal government.
We regret that we are unable by other de-
mands upon oar time and space, to sketch
more fully Mr.. WIS Lecture. 1t was deliv-
cred with pleasing and impressive manner.

Life In the Far West --. the Islaclkfeet
Indians.

We have been much interested in con-
ycrsing with j.. A. C. Hatch, Esq.-who is
now in tie city on a visit to his old friends
in regard to the character Of the Indians
alaong whom he has been officially sojourning
fJrsome time, and also in reference to the char
acter of their country. 1t is not improbable
that few items, of information we have had
impaired to US may be of interest to our
readers.
Mr.. Hatch states that the warlike and
fierce savage disposition of the Blackfeet has
not been exaggerated by the travellers and
traders who first visited them. They appear
to be the Ishmeelltcs of the American abo-
i.igines rs much as the Camanches, and per-
laps TO greater extent. Still, towards a
white man to whom they become attached,
they are knl, hospitabie and true-morc so
han any of the tribes in this region. Mr..
llatch-by his great knowledge of Indian
character, we presume acquired an influ-
ence over their head men from the start
which enabled him to make treaties highly
advantageous t. the United States, and to
lorm compa ITS which he hopes will produce
ast;ng peace between those remote savages
and Our people. lie never had any difficulty
with any of them the whole time he was
among them, and when he left they loaded
him with the most valuable presents
The population Of the tribe Mr.. H. thinks
will amount to at least 10000. They are a
fine athletic race Of Indians, and many of the
women arc extremely handsome and well
formed. Many of the traders and their at
tachces at Fort Benton have married Black
feet squaws, who adopt, as soon as married
the dress and customs of white women. In
'act, unlike the Sioux and Winnebagoes, both
men and women are proud to procure and
wear white peoples clothing. ia Blackfoot
warrior can get hold of white mans coat
pants or hat, he is wonderfully 'set up.'-
They learn English or French readily, and
are willing and pleased to make use of their
acquired knowledge in this respect in con.
versation.
| Fort Benton which was made the head
quarters of Mr.. Hatchs Agency. is trading
post belonging to the American Fur Co,npa-
| n.y. and is located on the Missouri, several
hundred miles above the mouth of the Y ell
low Stone, and near the base of the Rocky
Mountains. The land in the vicinity is rep.
resented as being extremely fertile, with al
the additional advantages of pure running
water, heavy timber &c. Mr.. Hatch is GER
tain this region adjacent to the Mountains
md the vallies running between the eleva
ted peaks is the finest and richest country
he ever saw. and is capable of sustaining a:
Tense population as any part of the United
States. The climate is mild in winter, ant
refreshed by the mountain hreezes in sum
ner; and altogether is certainly one of thu
':true garden spots on the face of the earth.
Were the Blackfeet in some other quarter o
he globe, we should feel like emigrating il
that direction forthwith

TEE OLD WATCH.

My grandfather's watch is battered ind old,
1t never contained either jewels or gold:
I've carried thee now for many long years,
And cherished by me, tho some gave thee sneers
Although thou art thick, and not outwardly fine,
Thro' summer and winter you We kept good time
I've seen many rival all cased in fine gold,
Yet still prefer you for time, tho you're old;
Poor, common and worn, with thin silver case
scarcely can see the time now by the face
Yet still L can hear, by that old wheezy sound,
You must be repaired, oryou'l soon run aground
And so long as 1 live none shall part me and you
Save while you re repairingby BARTHOLOMEW
And as those old hands point the hour of day,
Ittells me how time passes swiftly away;
