AN INDIAN LEGEND.

There is quaint tradition existing among
tine Indians Of the Northwest, in connection
with the snow peaks Of Mounts, Baker,
Haner, St. Helens, and Hood, Of the Cascade
range Of the Rocky Mountains. The tradition
is rs follows: .Ha-
The lofty peaks were supposed when
the world was young to be. Tyees-Kings
Of the lesser mountains Of thsir respective
districts ); here they ruled in kingly grandeur
receiving from: their subjects such homage
as is due to great chiefs while they them
selves Acknowledged no superior but the
the Great spirit. For ages their reign was
an uninterrupted scene: Of peace and hap
piness. Seas, lakes and mighty rivers bath
ed their feet, and their Sides were clothed
with evergreen forests. Here the beasts
and fishes roamed in primeval bliss, fearing
neither the hunter nor the fisherman, for
the man was not here. But III time like
nations, diseord arose among them. Each
chief assumed the quarrel Of his subject,
and an unrelenting war was the result. In
their rage they belched forth fire and smoke,
and hurled at each other fiery rocks, DESC
lating their fair sides, choking up the lakes
and river with their fragments and destroy.
ing the inhabitants Of both land and water
For years this conflict ragged with dcmoniac
fury. until the Great Spirit became angry,
and bid them cease their quarrel and close
their very mouths. And to punish them
for their folly and their sins in laying waste
their fair domains, he covered them each
with an external mantle Of snow. From
that time peace has reignej among them,
although occasionally they have muttered
and given signs Of rebellion but the Great
Spirit points, with significant smile, to
their snowy letters, and their spirit sinks
deep within their bOsoms.

IT'S EFFECT.

"Cato." the Boston C6uri<r's correspond.
cnt at Washington, writes as follows Of the
effect Of Summers late speech III 5st.
Mr. Summers speech has made bad i'm.
preston. There are none who do not re.
gard it as ill.timed and i'll judged in every
respect. Friends wish what he said had
been unsaid, and deeply regret the want Of
policy in such thrice.told TRADE upon an
|impracticable theory, at = time when prac
ticality is in special demand. It illustrates
no less his total unfitness for public station
than his utter inaptitude for political war
fare. It will prejudice his party without
benefitting his cause. Enennes are. exas.
perated by it to an extreme degree, and the
current Of sympathy which circumstances
had enlisted in his BEHALF is changed to a
vru'ent flow Of hostility towards him per-
s"nally, and towards the sectional sentiment
which he assumes to represent. It unmasks
ltepublicanism, and strips it Of the guises
and pretexts upon which its more willy and
more prudent advocates depended for sue
cess. 1t is an insidious and faithless blow
at the Constitution. and its inevitable i'm
por: is thoroughly dsunion In his invec-
tive at Faneuil Hall. against the fugitive
slave law. MIR. Sumner invoked the forcjble
resistance to that measure which virtually
annulled and repealed the stamp act-a case
in no sense analogous, because without any
constitutional warrant whatever. "B::t,
mind yon," he added, II do not counsel
violence" So now, while ostensibly depre-
eating the sectionahsm which threatens the
perma nenee Of our institutions, his speech
is the essence and aggregation Of doctrines
which can have no realization but in the
overthrow Of the Constitution and the dis
ruption of.every national bond. The speech,
in word, has added rancr 20 the embit-
tered feeling Of the South and the North
whether justly or not, will be held rcspon
sihle for its repug11ant and unfriendly senti
ments. The Republican party will have
something to do to countccact its effects
upon their prospects in TIC approaching
canvass. t r t.,-.
