that makes the futtering ia the dovocotes Of au-
thori'y when a thinker gets upon his legs, and, ar

SLAVE TRADE REALLY RR.OPEHRD.

Mr.. John G. Under wood, who was exiled
from Virginia for supporting Fremont, in 1856,
writes as follows to the editor of the New York
Tribune:
A tour and sojourn Of some weeks In the South
has satisfied me that the careful correspondent Of
the Herald" whose opinions you seem to distIust
in your paper Of to day, is correct in his conclu-
sioDs, and deserves the thanks of every friend Of
freedom and humanity for the courage and fidelity
of his disclosures. l have had ample evidences Of
the fact that those are greatly behind the times
who speculate on tho probabilities Of re-opening
the African slave trade; it is already a thing &C
complished and the traffic is brisk, and rapidly in
creasing. In fact, the most vital question of the
day is not the opening of this trade. but its sup
preston. Shall it be longer tolerated in defiance
Of all laws of God, and Of all laws of Christian and
even Mahommedan %nations2 The arrival of car
goes Of negroes, fresh from Africa, in our South
ern ports, is an event Of frequent occurrence.
Many of the public journals of that region ore
supposed to be in the interest of the traders, and
the publishers Of others are prevented from an
nouncing such arrivals by well-grounded fears
that such action would expose Themselves to the
vengeance OF the brutal and barbarous men en-
gagged 10 this BUSINESS. In all the cotton States
the cry is for cheap negroes. They denounce our
lave against the slave trade as q protective tariff
of twelve or fifteen hundred per cent. on the price
of labor for the benefit Of the slave-breeding States;
increasing the price of negroes for consumption in
the cotton fields from one hundred dollars each
1.-THE full cost Of i'm Importation were it not for pro-
~hibitary laws) to twelve or fifteen hundred dollars.
With the hope of enlisting the whole South, they
point to the advance of free labor, and declare that
the defeat of slavery in the struggle for Kansas,
was owing solely to the scarcity of slaves.

is JUDGE SWAN A REPUBLICAN,,

We do not open this question with reference to
JudgeSwan. That is not material to our purpose.
But the Anti Slavery Standard of last week con.
tanned an article charging upon the Republicans,
the responsibility Of his decision in the Oberlin
case. 1t may be sufficient to tell The Standard
that Judge Swan was elected by a general ''op-
position" vote in 1854, before the Republican par.
ty was formed. and the year before Chase was
elected Governor. And Judge Scott was nomin-
ated before the Philadelphia platform was adopt.

HON. TH0s. CORWIN RE-DEFINED.

Mr.. Corwin made a speech a few days since at
Indianapolis. 1t was "a Union saving speech
as full of fogyism as a hogs back is Of bristles.
He disclaimed allegiance to any party!
And yet the Republicans of the VII Congress
sional District in Ohio, at the election last October,
displaced Hon. Aaron Harlan, tried, true and
faithful Republican, and elected Thomas Corwin,
as a republican, on the Republican PIatform-and
our readers will remember how Thomas Corwin,
at Columbus Lost summer, on the same speakers
stand with Gov. Chase, if anything, was a lille
ahead of the Governor in his devotion to Republi-
can principlesl
Now this same Thomas Corwin spits upon the
Republican organization-he owes allegiance
neither to it, nor its principles I! We are not dis
appointed. We never saw any sufficient reason to
confde in him as a Republican. True, he avSwed
adherence to Republican principles long enough
to secure an election to Congress at the hands Of
Republicans-aRd that wds all!
In tho classification Of members of Congress,
Mr.. Corwin should not be classed with the Repub-
licans, nor should the Republican party be held
responsible for his acts. AS he has repudiated al
legiance to the Republican party. the sooner the
party formally and decisively repudiates him the
better.

ful man in time of trouble, is like q Broken tooth,
and a foot out Of joint

TOM CORWIN.

This eloquent champion Of human rights made
a speech at Xeuia or Friday evening last, at a Re-
meeting, in which he fully defined his
position. Democratic papers have been holding
Mr.. Corwin up as a sort of bolter from the Repub-
lioan ranks, but his speech shows him to be a
pretty good member. He said he did not know
that lie was a party man in the strict sense of
the term. but he would plainly tell what his
principles were, and they could judge for them
selves. On the slavery question he was heartily
with the Republican party, and thought be agreed
with the nineteen twentieths of those who voted
that ticket. For 40 years he had occupied the po-
sition be now does on that question, and would
occupy the same so long as he lived. 1t was his
firm belief that congress had the right, and it was
its duty, to prohibit slavery in the Territories, He
also believed that congress had the right to pass
laws for the rendition Of fugitive slaves. He
thought slavery wrong, and that it was more inju-
rious to the white than the black race. He
thought the Republican party was organized cole
Iy on the slavery question. On other important
questions they were not perfectly uni;ed.- Ohio

Gardenin. Metal.

Steel possesses the property of becoming
much harder by being highly heated. and
then suddenly cooled, which process is called
tempering.' Different qualities OF stesl arc
not affected precisely alike by the same pro-
cess; one requires a much higher h.a. than
another, and the degree Of hardness which is
finally ob aimed depends both upon the tenn.
perature to which ii is exposed, and the cold
N IS Of the medium in which il is cooled. Il
requires considerable experience TO become
acquainted with the different qualities Of
steel. ard tie particular degree of heat to
winch each should be raised to give il the
proper temper. One practical test is to draw
bar Of stee! belonging TO certain lot, or
brand, TO tapered point, such as chissl "a nd

be variouSly affected according to its thlck-
ness, and by breaking off pieces from tho

show the stiects of the d iHsrence OF tempera-
tnre which has been applied, the finest grain
being considered the best
As various cooling mediums produce differ
ent qualities Of temper, cold water, oil baths,
and cold soap suds are employed. Steel
which Is required to be very hard such rs
lies, are plunged into salt brine which is
colder than pure water; most tools however,
are tempered IN water. In te;ipering large
masses Of steel such as anviis, rollers, or
dies, they should be heated 10 low red
color, and cod water applied TO strike
their whole surface evenly, and then How of
freely, which prevents them from cracking.
Any degree of hardness may be impaired 10
steal by first tenterins, then anneaiing it.
This latter process consi is in reheating the
steel after it is polished, until il assumes q
peculiar color which is index Of it's hard
ness. The graduation Of these coloIs are
light yellow or straw, violet, blne, slate, and
finally black. which latter is the softest, and
about the same degree es that Of the steel
before it was hardened. Various tools w0'j

temperature at which tallow or oil burns.
hence their surfaces are rubbed over with
