On the 18th of January, 1SCA), ex
Senator Nesmitli mnd.e a spee-h in
the Senate of the United States, in
opposition to the "reconstruction"
urged and adopted J,y the llepuhli
can party. It is curious and in
structive to note how nianv of the
evils Mr. Nesmith predicted as the
result of the adoption of that mista
ken policy, have since letn realized
Contrasting the wise policy of Presi
dent Johnson as compared villi that
of tl e - i"zau lh-puhlicans, yrr.
Nesmith said:
3ut this oliey for restoring loval
State governments has been equally
iniportiiiit. lie did not chose to
continue military occupation of the
South, with the enormous expense
and oilier attendant evils, any longer
than was necessary. Troops were
thertfore radnrdly withdrawn and
disbanded and now the number re
maining in that section is compara
tively inconsiderable. 1'or military
rule ci il rule has been substituted,
and that is the only way in which it
could l.e properly done by the ac
tion of the people themselves. They
en- invited to reorganize their
State governments, and they have
done so fully and completely. To
this end delegates to Constitutional
convention were chosen, Constitu
tions formed, and subsequent elec
tions fo- members of the Legisla
tures, for Governors, and other offi
ces have 1 (
en held. Perfect Statt
governments have been re-establish
ed by the action of the peoplo them
selves in nearly all the States in ;

appointed by the President and. a -l-ing
uii:!e-- Iris diree::on. Il'it this
cannot aii'ect the vr.ii.lity or merit of
the Uonstituti :s i i i h. The Pro

people, to act in un ir sovereign ca

lecf. delegiite-s to Constitutional con- I

The .-. conventions met an.t formed j
Constitutieuis whii'h are unquestion
ably good and lav.-ful, n-i because
the making of them was instigated
en- invited by Provisional love-rneirs,

made in accord with the Government

men't of the fruits e.f victory and
peaoe? These questions tie) net con
cern the people; of the South ahum.
They are interesting and important
te the people of the whole country.
It is elesirable in the' judgment of
intelligent and patriotic men every -where-
thrrmghont the land, that all
the relations between the sections
which were; interrupted by the war
should be restored at the earliest
oeissible meunent.

Finally, by recognition ami re-
newed representation in Congress
we restore all the great interns of
the country, and thev will aain
have a due voice in that Government
by which the taxes are imposed.
Finally, by recognition and renew
ed representation in Cmigvcss, we
restore all the great interests of the
country, and they will aoain have a
due voice in the Government and
participate m the debates by which
its policy is shaped and determined
And it will be particular! v useful as
well as just, that upon questions 'af
fecting the Southern people their
Representatives shall be heard before
the laws by which they are to be
bound shall be enacted.
It.is equally clear and certain that
Congress has no rightful power to
determine a question of sutiYage in
any State; that an attempt to do so
would be a usurpation, and di recti v
opposed to the fundamental division
of powers between the States and
the Federal Government:
These quotations sufficiently indi
cate the soundness of Mr. Nesmith's
views on 'the great question of di-
vision vt powers in our complicated
system oi government. lie closed
tiiis able speech witli the following
peroration :
Look at this great question -as yon
will, and from any stand-point, "the
conviction is forced upon your mind
that we are to constitute" in the fu
ture one great nation, and must live
together as one people, professing
the same religion, speaking the same
language, and bound together by the
traditions of the past and the hopes
of the future. If this be true is it
m,t better for us to forget and forgive

Oswego Iron Vorks.
The remark has been made that
iron is worth more than gold, Us- i
timated by its numberless uses, the j
comparison is true, and an iron mine i
will enrich a people more surely and i
more largely than a gold mine. The j
iron mines of great Jlritain have j
drawn to that kingdom the riches of i
other countries for centuries past, !
and the fear of their exhaustion !
al.'irms iron mongers and statesmen j
alike. The fact that one of the lar- i
gest iron manufacturing establish- j
ments of that realm worth millions i
is reported as about to be trans- j
ferred to the hank of the Delaware
river, contiguous to the vast iron j
and coal beds of Pennsylvania, as an '
omen that the United States are to be
among the greatest, if not the fore- j
most producers of iron manufactur
ers in the world, as England and i
Scotland have been. It is a. pleasing 1
that this metal is so widely and pro- i
fusely distributed as to prevent any ;
fvieai monopoly in its production. !
I-i!iis;, lvania gains immense wealth '
annually because their enterprise 1
has been foremost to develop their'
iron mines. The Iron Mountain of !
Miissouri only waits the hand of la- i
bor and capital to enrich that State. :
AVe are not obliged to send to the '
East or the West, to England or to
Sweeden for our iron, as we have
done for twenty-rive years past. The :
hills about Oswego, seven miles up
the river, and near its hanks, abound :
with iron ore of the richest and most
highly carbonized kind. The pro
ducts of the furnace, two years ago, :
in ' pigs" and in the castings, espe- :
cially the xow .equalled any brought
to this market. 1 1 was a calamnity ;
to tnis city and to the State when
the fires were allowed to die out in
the stack. It is a corresponding
gratification that the company now'
resume the business of mailing v.jg j
iron, with the prospect of perma- i
neuce. It will be a gj-eater gain if !

All w ho are willing to work will find
enough to do. We, of this coast,
have the advantage of England in
this respect, and before 2 years,
perhaps in 1, we will lay down our
woolens in Liverpool, cheaper and
better than they can make and sell
them at homo. We produce the raw
material and we can make the goods."
- Upon further inquiry we find that
the water power, which this gentle
man estimated to cost $10 per mill,
per day of twelve hours, actually
costs the manufactory at Oregon
City not more than .- or 4 per
twenty-four hours. The Oswego
power can be procured equally cheap
we presume.

Interviewing the Jeiarted.
In the Uniteel States civil liberty j
is understood to be the right to vote 1
and to hold cilice, anel republicanism .
to consist in the election of a Presi- !
elent every four ami a 'Congressman i
every twe years. If there are any '
other conceptions ef liberty ami re?- '
pubiicanism than' these, they Fehlom '
make their appearance in the sayings '
of public men or the literature of i
political parties. We boast that we j
enjoy only the inestimable advantage '
of living under a free government;
the freest of any upon the face of the j
earth; and yet when called upon to !
enumerate the benefits we elerive !
from this government, we find them j
amounting to this, that we are emti
tied to vete as often as theopportun- i
ity is ailbrded, to hedd otiiee if we
can secure an election or appoint- j
ment, and collectively to choose a
President every four and a Congress !
every t wo years. i
The living American patriot who j
is supposed to have been educated at j
the expense of the State ami to be, !
therefore, endoweel with all the polit- ''
ical virtues anil christian graces !
would gladly make the catale.gue of I
the bh'ssigs whie-Ji we receive from
this free government e.f ours consiel
erablv larger. At lea-.t such was the ;
epinion with which we commence-d '
our search after said patriot, with
the intent te "interview" him upon '
the subject e.f free government in :
general and upem that of Auierie-an I
free government in particular.
The; history of the labors under- '
peine; anel the perils e-ncemntoreei by a
reporter in epicstif the living Amer
ican patriot we.nld rival in interest
that of Livingstone in his pursuit of
the Nile en- of Stanley ia his e-hase
after Livingston. The details, how
ever, must be, for the present, omit

productive. This not because we
have not an abundance of patriots
fen- indeed th supply ef these, is fully
Uj to tiie elemanel but bcnuse tliey
were, one and all, too fully occupied
to give tiie matter the ir" attention.
One was found absorbed in lheeiue s
tion whether it wouhl be safe for him
to keiep his back-. ay, or whether, all
things e-ousidere'el, it wouhl not be
advisable to retai n it to the, Treasury.
Another 'was preparing his -papers
with a view to a possible? innpertinent
inquiry inte his private affairs by a
cennmitte'e sit the coming session eif
Congress. Another was framing a
bill having relation to a few hundivd
millions e.f acres ef public lands
through whie-h a railway was to pass
of which lie is prospeetiely the pres
ident. Se'veral were looking after
the e'xeemtion ejf cenirae-ts awa riled to
tluaa in cemsi.Teration of their jiublie
virtue: especially that art of the
execution which in making requisi
tions upon the- Tre asury; and se ve ral
others calculating the e-ih-ct ef future
legislation upon the productiveness
of their stoe-k in tin; banks oi' whie-h
they eire iiiree-teus. They whose
tonus were about to expire? we're?
found to have their atle-ntion fixe'd
upon the iiie-ans to secure another
eh-e-tion ; and they whose terms were;
beginning were equally absorbeel in
plans to re-mhr thedr tolitical e.f as
much benefit as possible te) the party
most immeeliately concerneel, to-wit,
themselves.
In sheu t all were too busy to be
willing to elevote time io the subject,
and hence the ivporter was about te
give uj the enterprise in elispair,
wlien, by a lue-ky the.ught, it occur
reel to him that perhaps in the other
world the inhabitants are not se uni
formly en'cnpie el. Having 2'asseelont
e.f the region of rings and contracts,
these denizens of the spheres, he
guessed, might have hael the liesure
to generalize their experiences ami
digest their information; and, having
neither their eonve-nlions imr elec

w ith a fre-e'dom which wouhl hardly
be safe- for sue-h as are nejt fortunate--ly
situated. To )reicure; a proper
me-diuni Avas a work of some eliiiie-ul-ty,
but was at last r.e-complished ;
and after the necessarily preliminar
ies the process of interviewing the
spirits commenced.
The me'dium having ineiuired if
there were any spirits e?f the Ameri
can sat riots present, a sound was
he'ani like the planting of a large feot
heavily upeui the lloor. This was
une"!ersteoel te) indurate the approach
of the; late martyred Preside-nt.
Maliiim. Is it Mr. Iune-enn?
Sjn'fit. The same;, Ohl Abe, rafts
man, rail-splitter, lawyer, Pre'sietent
you know the rest.
M. Do you spend any time look
ing at affairs in the? Unheal State-s?
S. A good ele-al we have an abun
dance of time. They elon't hurry in
this region as the-y lo in yours.
Ge-orge, you have heard of him,
Washingttm and I have been exam
ining matters and comparing notes a
ge.od ileal. I alme)st wish he was
here; but the ohl fellow is so passion
ate, takes things so seriously and
swears such complicates! oaths at the
way the world is going, that his
speeches wouhl be hardly presentable
in se deceirous a shee't as yours. He
and old Andrew from the Hermit
age. you know agree together amaz
ingly, and I wish von cemhl hear
them talk of the degeneracy of the
times anel the rascality of modern
politici ans. They reael over the? Po
land report toge tlier, anel is hard to
tell w hich they anatheniatize-el, -the
roguery of the Crealit Mobihers or
the cenvardice of the committee.
d. Well, Mr. Lincoln, will you
be gooel enough to state what, in yejur
opinion, is political liberty.
S'. Political liberty is the holding
oft of the hands of the Governmt'iit
from the people letting them alone.
-V. Is there any way of enacting
liberty ?
S. None. Every statute is bond.
If it eloes not bind in .one direction
it eloes in another.
M. Then vou do not consider that
the sum of civil liberty is in x-oting"
ami holding office?
Xo. Yoting and holding office
are symbols that may remain after
the liberty has disappeared. The
worst despotism of the wortd ik per
fectly compatible with both. A peo
ple taxed as the people of the United
States are taxed can only imagine
themselves free while thev'are drunk
with the poison distilled "from party
newspapers.
d. Hut is not the elective fran
chise self-government ? Are not they
whe vete the rulers e.f the State?
No; unless the holders of the
franchise have the sense and virtue
to govern themselves. Self-government
begins with the individual citi
zen. When he is reael v to submit to
be lee! to the pedis like a mule or
e! riven to them like an ox; when he
lays down his free-agency at the
com mam! of a caucus anel subordin
ates his reason to the dictates of ;.v
party, he is as apt an instrument as
the worhl atlbrtls for putting a yoke
upon his own net: anil pinning him?
self to the earth umler the exactions
of a eouf -cfeuceless anel spendthrift
poiitie-a! establishment. Let theorists
who have no eyes to see w hat is going
on before; their faces, anel whose no
tions ed politie'al tilings are eleriveel
from the' remiancf's they call history,
rat? as they may e-f the trespasses eif
kings and the impcrionsness ol auto
crats, there is nothing that can beat
an e-lee-teil Congress in the auelacity
of encroachment, anel no elespotism
at once so humiliating and so inexor
able as the despotism of the tax
gatherer. Jf. Still, Mr. Lincedn, are we not
increasing in our knowh-elge of the
spirit of Republicanism iUid cemiing
to a hotter understanding of the
princiole;s of e-ivil liberty?
S. N . It is no sign of wisdom
or prudeuie-e in a people to go back
upem their own traditions ami aban
don the lessons taught by their an
cestral experiences. The fathers e.f
the republic may neit have perfectly
understood what they were1 eleung
when the-y laid its foundations, but
where they had precedents they fol
lowed them. ami w ere h-d in the right
elirectioii. Perhaps they buildeel
wiser than they knew, but their suc
cessors of this period are construct
ing more foolishly than they have
the capacity, even if they were in
formeil, to ceunpreheml.
JIT. Hut, Mr. Lim-oln, if we are
not growing more wise, are we not
becoming more uirtuous? Senator
Morton says we are.
Here the foot of the spirit played
up ami elown sei fast and heavily that
his words were for a time inaudible;
anel, after this hael snbsidc-el, his ut
terance were interjectional anel inco
herent. He was uiielerstood to say
se.mething like the following: "A
pretty example eif Republican virtue.
It was well for him that the times elie!
not admit of an investigation into his
deungs ami accounts." This wasfol-lowe-el
by obscure but vehement al
inssions te Harlan. Pomcrevy, Wilson,
Colfax, llowurel, and Patterson. An
an attempt was made to innuirc some
thing upon the subject of Ciesarism.

ihe present, and hwk his departure
