National Iron Foundry.

Senator Thompson has given notice in the
Michigan Legislature that he will introduce a
Joint resolution for the establishment of Ma
tional Iron Foundry on Lake Superior. The
Detroit Advertiser with pertinency remarks
''such measure would not only be benefit to
the State of Michigan, but it would be greater
benefit to the United States, by introducing in
to use, for government purposes, the superior
quality of iron found in the Upper Peninsula.
1t has been often demonstrated by analysis and
tests, that Lake Superior iron is tougher and
better for all purposes requiring strength, than
any foreign iron, or iron any other locality in
the Union 1t has also been demonstrated that
many of the accidents happening to national
vessels, happen from the poor quality of the iron
material used in them And the same is true
of other things made by the genera government
for its use 1t would, therefore, be matter of
economy, as well as safety, to life and property,
for the government to adopt the use of Lake
Superior iron."

:. FELON FEAST" AT oBERLIN.

A strange and significant scene for this en-
ightened and Christian age, and in our boast
ed free Republic, transpired at the peaceful and
God-fearing and God-serving village of Ober-
lin on the afternoon of Tuesday, the 1lth of
January, 1859. 1t was literally the "Feast of
the Felons," for the Thirty-seyen good citizens
of Lorain county, indicted by the Grand Jury of
the United States District Court of Northern
Ohio under the Fugitive Slave Act, for the
crime of a conscientious and faithful observance
of the higher law of the Golden Rule, sat down
with their wives and number of invited guests
to a sumptuous repast at the Palmer House
1t was in the best sense a good social dinner,
followed by real "feast Of reason and flow of
soul" The entertainment was given by the
indicted citizens of Oberlin to their brethren in
in bonds, as will be seen by the following
CARD OF INVITATION.

had been indicted by the Grand Jury OF the U.

Revision of the Tnx Law.

By reference to our Legislative report, it will
be seen that the subject of an early revision Of
the Tax Laws has already engaged the attention
of the Senate, the matter having been referred
to a select committee of seven, chosen by the
chair. The committee consists of the following
Senators: Messrs. Phelps, Hatch, Taylor, Buck
land, Lanqdon, Can6eld and Westcott. It is
most iuIiciously chosen, being composed of men
who are doubtless familiar with the practical
defects in the present laws; and we may look
for decided Improvement on the present one,
as the result of their labors.-State Journal

The Four Indian States.

The New Orleans Picayune in noticing the
progress of civilization in several of the Indian
tribes occupying Territories west of the States,
remarks that it will soon bring up new ques-
ton for the decision of Congress. That ques-
ton will be, what shall be done with the Indian
Governments or States that are fully Organi-
zed! Are they to be finally admitted into the
Union? Is new removal at some future time
to be made of the tribes civilized and Christian
lied to make room for the Caucasian wave roll
ing Westl Or are foreign governments to
grow up in the very heart of the territory of
the United States
The Cherokees, Choctaws, Chicasaws, and
Creeks are the tribes referred to by the Picayune.
The Cherokees are living under a regularly or
ganized government, modelled very much after
the Constitution of the United States and the
laws of other States The tribe has improved
in all the arts of civilization, untilthe Picayune
declares that the Cherokees have taken posi-
ton which forbids any forcible interference with
their right to the territory they occupy. They
organized their government as early as 1889,
and few Southern States have fourished like
that Of the civilized red men.
The Choctaws formed their government in
1884, taking the institutions of the United
States as their model. Only last year they re-
yised their Constitution. and adopted even the
most minute forms of government, and the
titles of officers which prevail in the States of
the Onion The Chickasaws lately separated
from the Choctaws, and have formed a third
Indian government after the example of the two
tribes mentioned The Creeks are taking steps
to create the fourth Independent organization
of State form of Government The Picayune
remarks
These Indian States are strange anomaly.
They are not part Of the Union, nor are they
know in law to exist The white man cannot
pass through their Territory without permit,
nor can he take with him, when he is allowed
to enter the Indian domain, certain articles OF
merchandise, even though the packages are un-
broken and are simply designed for the New
Mexican market This singular state of things
cannot exist for many years, without forcing IT.
selfupon the attention of Congress.
The tide ofpopulstion is steadily rolling West
In less than ten yesrs it will beat against the
banners now thrown up against its invasion OF
the retreats of those civilized abonglnes. Even
now the emigration must cross those Territories.
Those Indian States cannot exist when the Cau-
casian race presses upon them as independent
governments. The people civilized and attach
ed to the soil they have improved, cannot be re-
moved to remoter wilds, nor, without serious
dscontents, is it likely the United States can
subject them to the condition of other organiza-
tions, by an abrogation of the constitutions they
have established for themselves. What, then,
is to be done with these Indian States! 1t can
not fail to give greater interest to this question
that each of these Indian States have adopted
the social institutions of the South. The lndi-
ans are shareholders.

Bee Market on the Pacific.

Honey bees are dear ifnOt scarce on the Nor
thern Pacific coast, The San Jose, California,
Tribune of Dec. 10th, in noticing the shipment
of bees made by Mr.. Hoy, Ofthatp place, to Vic
toria, says
"Mr. Hoy has since returned to San Jose,
and purchased some two hundred hives for the
Northern market He leaves on the steamer of
to-day or tomorrow, for Portland, Oregon, with
about $50 swarms. There are now but very
few, if any, bees for sale in this valley. They
are in considerable demand, and would readily
bring 500 hive. In Oregon, we are inform
ed, they are worth SI25."

Mr.. President, we may well turn from the
present to glorious future that awaits us.
Our country needs deIiyeraDee from the gall
ing yoke of the Slave power, and it is near at
hand.
A second Jefferson must soon appear of such
Qualities of head and heart as shall enable him
to take command of our noble ship of State
one who by firm adherence to the doctrines of
the Republican resolutions of 1898, will secure
to the States their sovereign rights, the people
the endowment of the blessings of liberty, and
keep the Federal Government and the Federal
Courts clearly within the limits prescribed by
the Constitution.
That man is already born, a man of executive
experience, and, if l mistake not, has more than
once stood upon the soil eonsecrated to freedom
by the ordinance of 's7, and breathed the free
air of our own Ohio-who shall bring the good
ship of State out from the rocks and shoals that
beset her, into the ocean of a glorious future
which shall bless the world.
Fellow citizens, God reigns
1t is He who speeds on their way the ever
moving tides of population from all the East,
even from beyond the broad ocean, to our vast
unoccupied domain-to build them there new
homes, and yearly as the swelling tide rolls on,
countless new altars and firesides shall be con-
secrated to freedom for universal man.
1t is His will since the avarice of man has
torn the negro from his home and thrust him
upon American soil, to make his presence here
the occasion upon which the problem OF
personal freedom, that second revolution, more
important than the first, shall be worked out
by the American people, for the good of the
world

The above ladies' have been heard to say that
their acquaintance shall be renewed at the tri-
ais of their husbands, whenever that affair
shall occur.
These were the honored Men and Women of
the "Felons' Feast" Among them were ven
cradle grey headed men, some of the early set
tiers of Lorain county-men who had felled the
forest and built the humble log-eabins, school
houses, and churches of the wildeness-noble
men, coed men, and true men-men of Puritan
and Covenanter stock, of Revolutionary blood,
of spotless eputation-indicted criminals and
for what violation of the Bible injunction
Whatsoever ye would that others should do
unto you, do ye even so unto them"
At the table the Divine blessing was impress
sively invoked by the beloved Patriarch of
Oberlin, Rev. JOHN KEEP and after the good
things so abundantly provided had been discus
sed, Pcof PECK announced that the Criminals
had invited SAMUEL PLUMB, Esq, to officiate as
President The President in brief and happy
manner stated the object of the social gathering,
and referred to the deep sympathy felt by the
men and the women of Lorain for their brethren
in bonds He said the reading of letters from
invited but absent guests would be first in
order.

LETTER FROM JOHN N. VINCENT, ESQ
ELYRIA, Jan. 10th, 1859.
HoNoRED i'37. 7."-DEAR SIRs
regret that previous engagements will pre-
vent me from joining in your festivities to-mor-
row. Ny heart is with you, and any other
laid and comfort which l can in the future
render is at your service.
Your position is proud one To be eharg-
ed with the crime q Ofloving Liberty too well
enrolls your names with that immortal band of
Patriots who gave us the Declaration of Inde-
pendence," and the foundation of free govern
ment.
Their sacrifices and sufferings, their firm.
ness and resolution, we were carly taught to
admire and initiate 1t has been left for our
olatter day. Rulers to teach US that all our cher
ished ideas of freedom are vagaries, and that
the liberty of the American Union is only that
of the White man to ensave the Black.
This will never do-such rank perversion of
Gods truth we will never allow. We will say
to these Rulers as Arnold the poet said to Bar
low who had been composing revised edition
of Watts psalms and hymns
you've proved yourselfa sinful cretuT,
You've murdered Watts, and spoiled the meter,
You We tried the word of God to alter,
And for your pains deserve halter"
Brethren in bonds" let nothing drive you
from the right Iniquity shall not always tri-
umph, and reason and justice shall not always
be driven before might.
"As our fathers have fought, and our grandfathers
bled.
And many hero now sleeps with the dead,
Let US nobly defend what they brayely maintained,
Nor suffer our sous to be tetLeTsd and chained" /"
As one in bonds with you, remain yours,

purpose of manifesting our sympathy and par

you and those whom you represent, at the time

The President announced that he understood
we had Hunter in our midst, not miserable
hunter of the painting fugitive, but noble MINI
rod and man, the Hon. John Hunter, of CIeve-
land, the colleague from Columbiana of Messrs.
Plumb and Monroe in the House at the session
when good and humane Legislation closed the
jails of Ohio against persons not charged with
crime, and further protected the rights of the
people by Habeas Corpus; enactments since re-
pealed BY the slave-cringing Democracy. Mr..
Hunter was called out, and electrified his hear
ers for few moments. The hour for consulta-
ton and business having arrived; the ''Felons'
Feast" closed with the following heartily ap-
Plauded sentiment:
By the Company-0Hr Hosfess-If Uncle
Sam shall take US to board, may we have her
for ''help ~
The social festival at Oberlin will long be
pleasantly remembered by those who partieipa-
ted. Il was Just what might be expected of
sincere, earnest, devoted men and Women-ear-
nest, cheerful, orderly The men in bonds were
more closely knit together by the assOcia-
ton, and the opposition to the execution of an
unrighteous law is tenfOld strengthened by the
prosecutions set on foot under it. The spirit
manifested was temperate and religious. There
was no railing at the officers of the law-Only
denunciation of the law itself

THE INTELLIG FNCER
Il NEW PASTORAL.

The Summer day shone hot ard calm,
The Summer noon dropped herb and tree,
The cedars yielded breaths of balm,
In silence slumbered land and sea
The verdurous branches scattered shade
Above group of pastoral rest;
A stalwart shape in quiet laid
Upon the cool earth's kindly breast.
Another form of tenderer mould,
Beside him spread shepherds fare,
In rippled rings her tresses rolled,
4 careless mass Of glittering hair.
From rustic vessel filled with food,
She served the simple brief repast.
Sweet idyl of the solitude,
That caught my vision as passed
Oh fine array of poesy!
This lovely idyls naked truth
Was nothing but an apple tree,
And underneath an Irish youth.
A rugged man who rests ut noon;
His red haired wife sat on rail,
And watched him, without fork or spoon,
Eat dinner from an old tinpail.
He ate it up, and filed pipe,
Nor noticed her by smile or frown:
She stole an apple all unripc,
Shut up the pail and walked to town.
So sift the classic idyls out,
From words, and CLOSES overlaid-
Your Damon is a Helot lout,
Your Daphne is chambermaid.
Is then the poet knave or fool?
The fool of words, the laughing knave:
Or does his sight transcend your rule,
And beauty from tn abySses save?
