Thcj hay that when the Great Spirit made thecarrh, he alio made three men, all cf whom were fair cotnplcxioned; and that, after making them he led them to the margin ofastnall lake, and bade them leap in and t?ah. One obeyed, and came out of the vater urcr ana fairer than telore; the fecond icsitated a moment, during which the water, agitated by the first had become muddied, and when he bathed he come out copper-colored ; the third did not leap till the water become black with tnud, and he came out with its own colur. The Great Spirit laid before them three pack ages, and out of pity fut hi ntifurtune in color, cave tho black man his fir at choice. He took hold of each of the pack age, and having felt the weight, chose the heaviest j tho copper-colored man then took the next hearicst, leaving the white man the lightest. When the package were opened, the first was found to contain hoes, spades, and all the implements of labor. The second unwrapped hunting fishing, and warlike apparatus : the third gave the white man pen, ink and paper, the engines ox the mtnd-thc means ol moral and mental improvement, tho foun datton of the white man's superiority. Anecdote qf YT asuisotou.X nice Hula story is told of General Washington, by Far ton, which will bp fresh to many of' our readers: and will show him to wac$ in the light of a model husband : Tho General and his wife lived happily together, but it is evident that, like most heiresses, she was a little exacting, and it is highly probable that the great Wash ington was sometimes favored with ' t curtain-lecture. The celebrated anthoress Miss Bremer, relates that a gentleman once slept at Mount Vernon; in the room next to that occupied by the master and mistress of the mansion ; and when all the inmates where in bed, and the house was still, ho overheard, though the parti tton, the voice of Mrs. Washington. He could uot but linen, and it was a curtain- lecture which she was giving her lord. lie had done something during the day whicn she thought ought to have been dope differently; and she was giving huh ner opinions in somewnat nnituateu ana quite decided tones. The great man listen ed in silence till sl8 had done, and then. ft, fpffiarit upon tue ' suujccc in hand, said ; ri y "' "': ' "Now good sleep id yoq, my dear."-; -It is plain the General believed that it "takes two to quarrel." - ". i" Men or Few Words -Some men use words as riflemen do bullets.

Tho brief speech of Sciator Jirown; of Missouri, upon tho Tariff Wll, describes tho proposed bill as the iucipunt re-establish ment of slavery in, tho Uuiied States. One of the. fundamental principle upon which the North opposed African, slavery was, that it dented to four millions of people the right of receiving tho products of their own labor. V v Slavery has many forma ; There Is none moro galling atH opprcvo than that which selects a claw oi TthJ community for its victims, and takes of tl eir substance to givo to another, clans. Itiis is jractical eluvcryUhough tho law my calljt anoth cr name the system thv degrades the many to tha coiiditiott of ly re hewers of Wood and drawer'!!' watt?' Thefo fs a process known in ilexieoas a farced loan' whereby thn ditttator or unsnrpcr issues a decree thn the pcopla of certain districts, or that certain classes, uch as the farm er, tie mechanics, the bankers, tho tier gy, or the miners, shall pay to him a stip ulated sum of money under pain of hav, ing it taken Truia them by furce . Of curff, ho tells them it is uouo for their own guod. But eveo in this system of taxattun, which the world styles robbery, the robber theoretically take the money for the ue of tho government. Kvcn Mexican morality would be chucked if the dTctator should pay tu the miners, or the farmers to tha bankcr4,a tax equal to, sev enty per cent. upj?j the real value of ar ticlcji they might purchase for their own uh That would be a despotism to which even Mexican debasement would never submit. Tho Constitution of the United gtatcs in giving to Congress tho titnrer of taxa tion, required that it should be uniform. When taxation is fur revenue, and applies to all alike, there will uevcr be complaint; but when taxatiuu is not for revenue, bqt U formed to diminUh revenue from im ports, and to secure bounties to a privil eged class, the whole spirit of tho Consti tution is violated, and the tax become, as Senator Brown properly observes, atat. utory tht'ft and pillage." Its effect is to blind the many in mrrvitudo to the few. Tho farmers of Illinois may feel the hardship and severity of a law which com pels them to pay a certain per ccntage of their earnings to the support of the Gov ernment; but as long as that tax is ncces sary to uphuld aad maiutain tho Union and the public credit, it will be paid promptly and cheerfully. But when the trrmcr cr laborer who purchase a plow, or a keg of nails, or a cocking fctove for his kitchen, or crockery for his table, is told that ha must pay down lit cash, upon tho purchase of cither of these, a tax equal to fei-tciitj pr ceuheU viiae, wc qucHtion whether the exaction cf this tax will be considered auy leiss than a new forta of fclavery, when ho is told that not a pen ny of it goes to the Government, but is collected of tho thirty million of consum era to bo paid over as a bounty to the noblo lorui on the other side of the Alleghantcs, who can spend his money to so much better advantage than he can spend it himself. Let the free farmer and laborers, who voted and fought and gave of their mon ey to emancipate the slaves, and to secure to them the right of eatir?g the bread their own hands earn, ak themselves if they are now to be reduced to a slavery more iusulting and pot less oppressive than that which has been abolished after four years of war. Wo thank Mr. Gratz Brown, whose pen and tongue were so eloquent in assailing tho battlements of African slavery, lor thus boldly attack ing this new citadel of American sla very.' . : i- ; i Kvcry farmer who pays in the course of the year 81,000 for the clothing of his family and for other articles embraced in the tariff bill, will pay $700 as a bounty to the producers of these articles who is en gaged ono-half of the year in preplanning his desire to advance the wages of Amer ican laborers, and tho other half in a fierce grapple with those laborers to keep thoir wages duwti. Not content with this form of extortion, they have invented another, which they style a 'drawback systcm,"by which they put their hands into tho Treas ury and take out a bounty fur the exporta tion of their, articles to foreign countries. By i their oppressive taxation they have forced prices up so high that thy cannot sell anything abroad roless the Govern ment pays them a premium, - and this, too; comes; in tho end; out of the farmer or laborer. The slave had food, clothiug. medical' attendance, and 'what he could steal. But these self-constituted masters are not so liberal to their ixjpves.1. Hero the white man has to pay for'nis coat; ho has to furnish wheat, or corn, or flour, not on ly to tho real value of tho coat, but ser-enty-five per cent, additional. . It is im material whether the crop is : short : or large, these tyrants demand their cent-per-cent, : be for 0 they part, with' their goods. 1 They prohibit iis from, going elsewhere to trade, and demand not only the Value of the goods, but hear! as much more, and thon insult us by telling us that if was all done for our goodthat wo are poor devils and cannot take caro of our selves.

Women lit America During tho civil war in America tho women of New York congregated in thousands at tho Academy of Music to welcome the notorious Gcucral B. F. But ler (tho Beast Butler of the South), not because ho had gained battles, but because because, above all, ho had insulted in the groet and most unmanly manner every Southern woman who expressed her sym pathy with tho cause for which their: hus bands, fathers, brothers or sous were pouring out their heart's blood as if it were water. During the very heat of tho struggle, when Mr. Lincoln scarcely dared to Impo fur success; when Mr Seward kept constantly renewing his little bill of victo ry at ninety cbya' fctght; when Generals McClellan, Topct Hooker, Bumsidc and some others, only met the Southern hosts to be foiled and repuhed it was a woman, pert, insolent, ignorant, voluble, and shamolcas, vho, Btumpcd" tho North from town $0 town, and city to city, deliv ering inflammatory lectures in which she criticised tho plans, tho strategy, and the personal character of the Gcorali, de nounced their nupposed their incorape tenco or their treachery, held up Mr. Lincoln to public odium as a buffoon and on embecile, and the whole AdministratUiti a a set incapable. In all her haran gues she had no word of praise except for General Butler, who had done nothing but evil, or for the negro race, which was the pretext, though not the cause of the iiocKiou, Ane wiooaifUC'i sue never once teemed to deplore, but pounded her couu trymen ttt new autugUter with 0 much gusto as if she dtlighteud in blood and misery. And it was not the men of vmcriea, but the women, who crowded to her lectures, applauding them to the echo, till this pcatilcnt virago, with strong nasal draw, became the fashon, and managed to earn as much as a bun drcd pounds pdr night by her villification of the mout eminent and patriotic of her countrymen. In Kngland, when women appear as lecturers, it is mostly on those graceful subjects of music, romance, po etry, or the drama, in the discussion of which tho taste -may be cultivated and the judgement satisfied, but on which the fierce vindictive passions of an auditory are not likely to be excited. . It U not so in America; it never was so during the civil war. The female lecturer always claims the right to lecture on religion aud on politics, on war and on peace and is not generally thought to unscx her mind in the process. In social politics the women of the North arc equally independent in thought and action The 8trong-minded among them take an ubjVniou. as they may well do, to the absurb style of mod ern female dress, as woll as to its fcrious expense; but instead of a gradual reform such ar might enlist the sympathies of those who are not quite so strong-minded tjiey rush to the extreme, and adopt a hybrid male costume, which they call the "Bloomer," from its inventrcss, and strut about the streets, where they, are some times mobbed, though, as a general rule they excito only the rude observation and laughter of the by passers. Kven in far moro important matters than dress, the women imperfectly educated, of that class of fools, male and female who "rush in where angels fear to tread," assume to themselves a liberty the exercise of which in any other country in the world would in falibly brand them with ihe gligma which General Butler in vain sought to affix upon the rebellious women of the South. Having como to tho conclusion that the submission, of the wife to the husband in .marriage is inconsistent with with the perfect equality of the sexes, and that marriage, in fact, is but another form of slavery, in which tjio weaker is held in bondage by tho stronger, not on account of color or race,5 but on account of what they rather than ue the word fcx call "gender" they jointhe society of i'Free Love," holding that Free Love is as good as Free Trade, or Fre Press, or any oth er form of liberty. These Free Lov ers hold their anual congress in New York. Boston, or other Northern city and women, without shame inveigh on strictly philosophical principles against marriage end protest that they never will submit to the bondage. They a?sert the right of the wife to put away her husband or vice versa, not merely for faults of conduct or incompatibility of temper, but for mere caprice, satiety or chango of mind.? One of these women, "having a husband who had the misfortune to loso his leg by an accident, which led to its. amputation, publicly declaimed against the law which would not grant heir a divorce from a , per son who had become physically imperfect ar,d whse presence was consequently dis: agreeable to her. Ilcr remarks were re ceived with vehement applause by her auditory. ) . :,; Thqn thoro is tho "Woman's Rights Society," to the doctrines of which it may bo supposed the philosophical member for Westminster is a convert,; inasmuch as ho advocates one of their principal ten etsthat a woman has as much natural right to vote for members pf the lcgisla turoV and for tho government of the body politic as a 4 man. A sensible, amiable, witty and accomplished lady of New York was aske'd to become a member of this society,' but politely declined. .."I know," Ihe said,:"bufr of, onoj great , right that a woman has tho right to pQ5Sfss -a - goad husband : that right is mine, andr I r look no further." SA f ew weeks ago, a Mrs. Cady Stanton was a candidato for Jhd rep resentation of one district' of. tlio city of New York in tho next Congress, and re ceived four votes but,! of a constituency of twenty-seten thousand. : It is tabt like Jy,,however,' that her example' will be con tagions l though, if women are td'have the political privilege of voting, as , the "Woman's Rights Society" and Mr. Mills declare'they ought to have, it 13 not .easy to see on.wbat principle .toy. are , to be denied the higher privilege of being voted for.

"I btlitve Andrew Johnson to be m dfirout and self-sacrificing a patriot -as ever lived," said Chief Justice Coast not many months ago to the writer ; "but fatally wrong in ame of his views, and cursed with ';mo of the worst advisers," That was high tehtiniony from a prejudiced source; and with that testimony thi f?tttr inust con- Hon the Tariff UsefuX Ina- tries. The Lake Superior region produces virgin copper of great purity, as everybody California produces a copper , ore knows. ore a very different thing. This ore is brought hither and reduced by smelting, and this is an im portant and useful industry. But it happen?, by some arrangement oi nature who is njt ft protectionist that to make the smelting of the California ores profitable and easy, there is needed a cer tain proportion of Chile ore. This Chile ore contains about fifteen per cent, of cop p?r. Tha Lake Superior mines yield, as we said l?Kre, virgin copper ; which is reduced wu.iout smelting, ana mucn 01 wmcn is so pure as to yield eighty and even ninety per cent, of copper. The Lake Superior men have induced the Senate to lay a duty of three cents per pound on Chile ores, on the plea that their mines which are the richest in the world, and near home are ruined by the competition with ores which contain only fifteen per cent, of copper, and must bo brought Ul the way from Chile. Dut three cents per pound on these ores is nearly twenty cents per ponnd on the copper they yield an enormous duty, which will at once put an end to the importation, and thus at a blow extinguish a thriving and useful industry, and fliqg hundreds of skill ful American workmen out of honest cm plovmcnt. ' ; ' . f " ' ' Thoho who now use this copper will there after import copper in ingots, for the Supe rior region copper is not enough to supply our homo demand. ' ThL is the way thir monstrous tariff. will ruin this country, under the pretext of "pro tecting it." v But wo havo not told the whole story. There is a part of ponnccticut where the re duction of copper ores is an extensive and important bqstness. The people engaged in it there have, wo are told, besought their member of Congress to uso his influence to prevent their ruin, but he refuses.' Whv? lie is interested jn some brown stone quar ries j the tariff' lays a heavy duty on Nova Scutia stone, and so benefits him ; and thus he is won over bought over would bo the better term to tho wholo tariff. . In like manner tho single nickel manu facturer of New Jersey 1ms been not - only favored by. a monstrous duty on, foreign nickel, hut has procured exemption for his product from internal taxes.- In like man ner tho salt men havo got the Senate to lay a duty equal to 229 percent, on foreign salt I There are dozens of instances cf suoh bar gain and salo in tho tariff bills.
