SYMPATHY FOR INDIA-In the course of
speech at meeting of the Indian Chris

Dr. Guthrie, the worthy descendant of the
Scottish martyr, said -" | have read the
history of our colonial possessions, and say
that, with some bright exceptions, it is a
black and bloody history. And in refer
ence to India, as we'll as to other of our
colonies, feel that the way in which we

the most unjusti6able character, and l say

There was rumor some time since, says
the Mississippian, that Secretary Cobb in
tended to propose tax upon tea and coffee
The London Times has heard Of it, and
lco~rnents upon extensively thus:
What tax upon tea? We exclaim-a
tax upon that magical leaf, which ought ia
be as sacred in the eye Of every American as
the mistTetOe was to. the Druid, and the
Olive to the Athenian--a tax upon that
plant which ought to remind every Ameri
can, whenever he hears it mentioned, of the
epoch of Independence plant, therefore
which ought to be forever sacred 10 the
United States, and forever free from the
polIuting touch Of the tax-gatherer. 1t was
on the 18th of December, 1878, that the
citizens Of Boston, with the enthusiasm Of
patriotic indignation, assembled the deck Of
the Dartmouth and threw overheard into the
sea eighteen thousand pounds Of tea Thai
happened to be the article upon which a
British Parliament had tested their right tC
tax British colony. The attempt as We
all know, was unsuccessful. The fame o.
liberty was lighted up, &c, Nc.

Fort Dodge on horseback, on the I'd of De,

attempting to cross wide slough he broke
through the ice and got wet up to the waist,
and had to turn back During the night,
to keep from freezing, he kept walking back
and forth for space of about fifty feet, and
in the morning succeeded in crossing the
slough.
Tie second night overlook him with no
signs of habitation near, but on the morn

THR THREE sENATdRS.

Vice President Breckenridge, in bis ad
dress to the Senate on the 4th instant, upon
the occasion of their taking leave of the Old
Senate Chamber, thus made the following
mention Of the three great men whose names
in pre.eminenS degree are associated with
the recollections of the place:
Hereafter the American and the stranger,
as they wander through the Capitol, will
turn with instructive reverence to view the
spot on which so many and great materials
have accumulated for history. They will
recall the images Of the great and the good,
whose renown is the common property of the
Union and chiefly, perhaps, they will lin
ger around the seats once occupit by the
Mighty Three, whose names and flme--as,
sociated in life-death has not been able to
sever; illustrious men, WHO in their genera
ton, sometimes divided, sometimes led, and
sometimes resisted, public opinion-for they
were of that higher class Of statesmen who
seek the right and follow their convictions
There sat Calhoun, the Senaior-infexi-
BILE, austere, oppressed, but not overwhelmed
by his deep of Importance of his public
functions seeking the truth, then fearlessly
following it, q man whose unsparing intellect
compelled all his emotions to harmonize with
the deductions of his rigorous logic, and
whose noble countenance habitually wore the
expression of one engaged IN the perform
ance of high public duties.
This was Webster's seat. He, too, was
every inch Senator Conscious of his own
vast powers, he reposed with confidence on
himself, and scorning the contrivances of
smaller men, he stood among his peers all
the greater for the simple dignity of his
senatorial demeanor. Tyne of his Northern
home, be rises before the Imagination in tue
grand and granite outline of his form and
intellect, like great New England rock,
repelling New England wave. AS a
writer, his productions will be cherished by
statesmen and scholars while the English
tongue is spoken. As senatorial orator
his great efforts are historically associated
with this chamber, whose very air seems yet
to vibrate beneath the strokes of his deep
tones and weighty words.
On the outer circle sat Henry Clay, with
his impetuous and ardent nature untamed
by age, aud exhibiting the same vehement
patriotism and passionate eloquence that of
yore electrified the House of Representatives
and the country. His extraordinary person,
al endowments, his courage-all his noble
qualities, invested him with ar individuality
and charm of character which, in any age,
would have made him favorite of history.
He loved liberty in all countries. Illustri-

whose light, at its meridian, was seen and
felt in the rcmotest parts Of the civilized
world and whose declining sun, as it hast
