FRIDAY MORNING DEC. 19 1851
(£r No Nortbcrn’M til yesttfday.
Cold. —The wcatlior is bitter cold at this
writing. The thermometer stood at 18°
yesterday morning at daylight, 11 degrees
below the freezing point, all of which is very
respectable for. the land of the cotton plant
> sonr orange,
KOSSUTH.
It would he almost as easy to attempt to
put a camel throiighdhwe of. a. needle as
to sqMeeae into our columns a tithe of the
current history of the Kossuth reception at
N York, and of the speeches which he pours
forth in eloquent affluence in reply to the
thousand nnd one addresses made to him.
Asa specimen of his style, and as also em
brftcirtgjn a smaller space his hopes and
views from his visit to America, we give to
day his speech to the “Baltimore Committee.
While the people have welcomed
ordinary man with 4 hearty and unreserved
enthusiasm, we have been astonished at the
r.-yicorous hostility lie has encountered from
many presses. Fofcour own part, we have
never been able to detect aught in the char
acter of Kossuth, to lowerliim for an instant
from the noble elevation in which 110 first
presented himself to the world—that of a
great, eloquent, good and btavc man, patriot
ically devoting all he was and hoped for, his
talents, strength, energies and life to the
cause of the freedom of ids father land. Why
-rihould such atn.an he abused? It is said be
‘comes to ask this country to entangle itself
in European politics, and risk its progress and
•peacein a war against the Despotisms of the
•old world. Suppose this is bis mission,
•which is not inferrable from his speeches—
■what is it, hut a proper appeal from the weak
nnd oppressed, to the strong and generous,
against powerful oppression? Franklin was
eent to Fmnce on precisely such a mission,
•uder the nuspices of Gen. Washington, and
Ire was successful. Money, equipments, fleets
and armies Were Hie result Os his appealj to
France.
Wc by no means hold that the prayers of
Kossuth iu behalf of his down-trodden peo
ple ought hastily (if at all) to bo granted.
But surely there is no impropriety in the
prayer. A patriot suing for succor for his i
bleeding country is surely not a man to be!
maligned aud calumniated. And yet some of,
the pressss of the country arc on his track j
with blood-hoifnd ferocity. The Courier nnd !
En ;uirer of New York says hois nn aristo
crat, and utters the preposterous slander, that
the Hungarian struggle grew out oflhe ambi
tion of the Maygar race to enslave the Sclaves
nnd Croats, and that Austria in resisting tha*
nttemptwas actually lighting on the side of
freedom. The same note has been fel ly re eeh
oed in Georgia. Shame! We believe that Lou
is Kossuth is what he represents himself—or
rather what h ? s deeds show him, to be—a
a patriot with large soul—the ‘ ; root of whose
life” (to use his own eloquent words) is in
his country.” No just man can read hi 5
speoches, so frank and manly and unreserved,
so full of the fire of deep and genuine feeling
flashing with genius, and speaking the
thoughts of impressive earnestness and pro
found conviction, and yet pronounce him a
humbug. We look upon him as the “man
of the age” one of those rare beings whom
Providence at long intervals sends on the
earth to accomplish great ends, and in a life
time, hurry on great crcnts, with’ the str des
of centuries.
If Kossuth were to die to-day, his life would
form an epoch in the world, He is the em-
Imdiinent of the popular thought of Europe
—the sun of the hopes of down-trodden mass
os to light them on their way to their coming
struggle with their oppressors—the incarna
tion of the genius of freedom, who has stir-
Tod the great heart of oppressed Europe,
and kindled hopes of liberty for ages buried
Beneath the weight of Despotism.

The Jasper County Elec tion.— We cal
the attention of pur readers this week to the
address of Messrs. Williams and Baynes to
th’ people of Jasper. It will l>c seen that
they have procured the testimony of S3 le
gal voters of Jasper rounty, who make oath
that they voted at Slaughter’s Precinct on
the day of election, for Messrs. Williams
and Baynes,.between the hours of 7 o’clock
A. M. and 5 P. M. This completely dis
proves the sssmnptions of the Committee on
Elections, and establishes the fact that these
men received a majority of the legal votes of
the comity. Yet these men were deprived
<>( their seats by the arbitrary will of a ma
jority of the Legislature, aud their places giv
en to men who who were not the choice of a
majority of the voters. A more tyrannical
net we venture to say cannot be found in the
annals of Georgia Legislation. The people
of Georgia will remember the men who have
disfranchised a portion of their fellow citizens.
Wo have not yet done with this business,
wc expect to have more testimony in a few
days.— Fed. Union.’
Pennsylvania Treason Trials.— A tele
graphic dispatch dated at Philadelphia Dec.
states -that Casting Hanway, one of the
Christiana mob, on trial in that city for trea
son against the United States was aeqnitted
ihat day, the Judge charging the Jury that
there was go t season in the esse.
Apropos ol those treason trials—they are
sit humbug and nonsense. The crime at
ClirfstiMW was n °t treason—lt was murder—
sind-for that, and thalalone, these wretches
should now be tried? The charge of Treason
ciwnot, and -will not be proven, and President
Fillmore hod them so :raigned, simply to
give them a chance for escaping the penalties
which the law flcmiuuwo ,CI. of

whereupon.. Corcoran dc Riggs declined having
any thing to do with the business. On this an

THE UNIONISTS.
The Richmond (Va.) Examiner an able Demo
cratic Southern Rights paper gives the following
merited whacking to Mr. Foote and his union agi
tation party at Washington:
“The late attempt to make party capital out of
the Compromise Resolution in the Congressional
Caucus and the House of Representatives, has ut
terly failed. It was too barefaced, too shameless,
too plainly the clap-trap of the skulking “Union”
party and of the traitorous Democrats —Foate,
#k)bb and their colleagues, who are going over to
Federalism under that miserable disguise, to deceive
any portion of the puk-lic. I’at that is not the on
ly apparent result. The movement has not only
failed to do this squad any good, but it lias alrea
dy scaled their ruin.
It exhibits them to the whole country as distur
b.-rs and disorganize™ of ihe public harmony.—
The Compromise measures were made laws by
the last Congress. Nobody thought of meddling
with them. Nobody drcarnpd of doing so. They
were among the things of the past. A!! that
their security required was rest. Ail that the
country desired was quiet. Tins rest they had; tins
quiet the country enjoyed. All who desired the
peace and the happiness of their follow-c.tizeits,
congratulated themselves and each other on the j
temporary lull in the slavery agitation. V. e ail
hoped anil believed that by prudence and forbear
ance wc could, perpetuate the calm, until the tur
bid waters of public opinion should once more
become healthful and clear. M e hop;d that time
would heal the wounds upon the Constitution;
that the fresh bark would cover the gash in the
tree, and that the sectional animosity which so
lately threatened the destruction of the Confeder
acy, would ho allowed to sleep until its repose be
came the oblivion of death, Such was the Heart
felt hope of every man who was not a heartless,
brianless,corrupt utterly wifi h and self-seeking po
litician. But a clique of this class, who govern
the movements of the Congressional W hig part}',
have blasted all these hopes, smothered these fond
desires, re-clouded the clearing sky, and evoked
from the grave of past dissension the spectre of
the territorial strife.
They have done so with the avowed intention
of making capital for the Presidential campaign.
They liave utterly failed in their effort; and now
they must not be allowed to escape the penalty
which they merit for the distinct crime of endeav
oring to destroy the peace of tins country, and
of .endangering the safety of tlm Union itself; for
purposes so selfish, so unprincipled ami so degrad
ed. The} - cannot evade this charge;—Thatthcsla
very agitation being dead, they have recalled it to
life for the sole purpose of disorganizing the De
mocratic party. This fact is most undeniable.
They certainly did endeavor to make an approval
of the Comprom se measures of the last Congress
a test of Democratic faith; and there was no con
ceivable or pretended reason for doing so, but the
disorganization of the Democratic party.
These same politicians who have done this,
Imve been veiling for the last twelve months
about the imminent danger of the l nion. The cause
of its danger tliev have declared to be the slavery
agitation. They have upw rekindled that agita
tion for this small and wlfi.-h purpose. One, then,
of two things must be true: —either their cry <>t
the “Union in danger” must have been a wilful
and intentional falsehood from first to last, or. tin y
are now willing to endanger the Inion for the
purpose of grasping tbe spoils of the next Presi
dential election. Which is true? In whieh light
look they best? What amount of confidence are
they entitled to in future? W hat jsl'ory is too
high, too long, too infamous for them?
Upon the whole, we are glad this affair has oc
curred, It might have done great mischief to the
country. But the evil has been over-ruled for
good. The scheme lias effected nothing but the
expo-ure of all who have been engaged in it. It’s
failure lias compelled the blacklegs to show their
hands, and to throw their loaded dice upon the ta- |
hie. The public will understand them in future.
Further conspiracies will he trades*—for this s's*-
sion at least. “Their wishes are understood. Their
riddle is read.’ Their motives are now known to
be despicable, and their protestations are proven
to be unreliable. The J )emocracy of Virginia will I
support the determination of Meade, Averett, Bo
cock, Millson, Powell and Caskie. We conjure
them to stand to their faith. The world is sick of
time-serving politicians and of dodging voters. —
We hope this present session of Congress will
prove that we have some honest men left.”
Washington, Dec. 9.
The reception of Kossouth engrosses public at
tention. It is not certain wliat Congress will do
for his reception and entertainment, or whether
they will do anything, though he is their invited
guest.
We are to have some trouble about tbe
to question, and the outrage upon the United
States Mail Steamer —the Prometheus. An ex
planation has been promptly and peremptorily dc
mnnded'of the British Government, as to the cause
of the the authority under which it was
given. This Government assumes that it is a vio
lation of the first article of the Buhver and Clay
ton treaty. If Great Britain persists in holding
possession of Groytown and San Juan, then the
treaty is a complete nullity. It is alleged, howev
ev, on the other side, that port charges were pro
perly claimed of the Prometheus, in behalf of the
Musquito authorities. The naval force which the
President has sent toSaU Juan, for the purpose of
protecting our commerce, may possibly get into
some trouble with the British naval forces, upon
the claim of the latter to enforce port duties at the
cannon’s mouth. If the duties be exacted again,
and the United States Mail Steamer he again fired
into and brought to, the American naval officer
who may be in command will interfere, and meet
force with force.

K O<? ST’TII and the New York Press.—
On Mmd ly, Messrs. Goodwill, Dms and
Mathews had an interview with Kossuth, as
a committee from the N'w York Press, to
solicit itis attendance at the proposed pub
lic banquet. The Times, of the 9 h inst.
says:
“M Kossuth received the committee with
great cordiality, and expressed itis warm
thanks for the compliment, lie appreciated
fully the importance of the press, which be
characterized as the great power of the age,
ands ,‘ul th it no mure welcome invitation
could h ive been extended to him. lie felt
greatly embarrassed as to his stay in this
country bv the action of Congress He
said he. should probably have come to the
United States, upon his release from captivi
ty. whether he hid been invited or not, be
cause his high admiration of the institutions
and |ieop!e of Ameriea had made kim long
desirous of visiting our shores. But he had
not come wholly of bis own motion. He
had come at the invitation of Congress ; and
felt bound, therefore, to abide by their expres
sed will as to remaining. If they should re
ject the resolution no a before them, which
simply declares he is welcome here, he could
j draw no other inference than that he was not
want ed, and of course he should withdraw.
He should consider the door shut in his face.
But if this SROSUU not- jnu,c to be SO, tl
would give him great pleasure to aecept the
dinner tendered by the press at as early a day
after the entertainment of the Common Coun
cil as might suit the convenience of its mem
ber*.”

Washington, Dec. 10,18-31.
The debate on Mr. Foote’s resolu
tion in telalion to the Compromise, was
not continued on Tuesday as anticipa
ted, in consequence of the anxiety'ofthe
Kossuth resolutionists to ride their hob
by, for which they secured the prece
dence. Consequently the Tiiersites of
the Senate escaped any r further excoria
tion, but the act of justice, though de
layed, will surely be visited upon him.
It is understood that Mr. Butler will first
rejoin to Mr. Foote’s response to him,
after which, Mr. Rkett will also reply.
If his accidency of Mississippi be not
made to play the part of shuttlecock
(for which he is so admirably .adapted
Ooih by specific levity and toughness)
between those two strong arms, then
public expectation will be greatly dis
appointed. In the short space of time
that has elapsed since the meeting of
Congress, this piebald politician has
contrived to render himself universally
odious, and his hegira from Washing
ton looked upon by all parties
as the abatement of a nuisance. No
one who has not witnessed the unrivall
pd self-sufficiency and arrogance of this
small specimen of a great man, can
imagine what a pretty instrument of
mighty mischief he is, what an uniniti
gated bore and embodiment of an inter
ruption. Before he goes, however, let
us hope he may*get his diploma, which
will be tendered him so soon as the
Kossuth controversy closes. This con
troversy, though on the surface, appar
ently frivolous, and turning on points
of etiquette, has yet a deep and grave
significance underlying it. The fact is.
a serious blunder was committed in the
first place,one frorrYthe consequences of i
which it is difficult for Congress to es- .
ca p e —yjr. President Fillmore having j
adroit'f shifted the responsibility from i
his own shoulders to the broad back of I
that body, which writhes and wriggles ;
painfully under it.. The attitude assum- j
ed by Kossuth in relation to this matter, !
also’ complicates the difficulty. lie j
stands on his dignity, and assumes an j
fir of mortified pride-fears he is a un
welcome guest, &c. He also declares
will not visit Washington unless
invited—and the two old parties, or the
remnants of them, are equally puzzled
and anxious to know how to greet him,
or how bestto checkmate the opposi
tion. President Fillmore, in the mean
time, hits on a happy idea. His son
and Secretary,Fillmore,jun. finds it sud
denly convenient to visit New York
sees Kossuth, and states that it would
he agreeable to the farni’y to see M.
Kossuth. But the Magyar, still rather
sulky, very plainly intimates that this
informal invitation wont do. He will
take ‘ the whole or none either come
to Washington as the invited guest of
the nation; or not atai . Excruciating
conduct, the President is nonplussed;
the Cabinet in despair—Congress in a
dilemma. What can be done 1 The
Hungarian evidently intends to make

But tiio Philistines arc upon him in spite
ofhis. precauf'ops- In addition to the
disastrous championship of Foote, the
free so Hers have taken spec r al pa-ns to
be prominent in ths matter of hisrecep
lion. Seward, Hale, and their affiliated
company, have been as shrill and per
tinacious as the! man from Mississippi,
and striven, with might and main, to
catch a little of the odor of popularity
by clinging to-the coat-tails of the Hun
garian hero. Mr. Sumner of Massachu
setts makes his maiden speech in the
Senate to-day on this fruitful theme.—
From IPs antecedents, no doubts are
entertained as to the progressive policy
ofhis speech. He is a man of strking
appearance, good talents, extensive in
formation, and fine oratorical pow
but ultra (Northe-n) to the last degree.
Os course it woul ‘insult the intelligence
of your readers v di'ate on the fact of

Kossuth has -ery adroitly modified
the plainness ol his previous avowals,,
by putting out a kind of explanation
through the Northern p’pers, in which
he takes the same ground as to non-in
tervention of this Government in for
eign politics, as he did in relation to
that of Great Britian while sojourning
a*ul speaking there. When this matter
is disposed of, which it will be summar
ily, the Compromise question will again
r cur. ■
The members of the Senate, thus far
have been very guarded as to the ex
pression of their opinions on this,matter,
and it is exceedingly difficult even to
make a good guess, as to the disposition
which .will finally be made of it. A
very short time will sullicc to throw
lig.it on this dark spot, and unless-very
great and unexpected changes of front
tak-e place, it will iead to some stormy
controversy, and to aconsiderable con
fusion in the ranks of parties.
Opinions of the Press on Kossuth’s Hew York
Speech 1 -
The press generally, is freely utter
ing its sentiments in regard to the
grounds and hopesof Kossuth, set forth
by him with’ frank and’ commendable
honesty in his New York speech. While
mere politicians and such like may use
ambiguous language,‘exciting false ex
pectations, fee., if will be seen that the
maj'i'ity of the press and Kossuth meet
one another with equal honesty.
The,New York Tribune speaks with
reference to the present and possible
future upon the question of armed inter
j ference in the affairs of Europe. It
! savs:
“We believe in the good old Ameri
can policy of rieuta ity, and no entan
gling alliances. It is the policy under
which the nation has crown great and
strong, and under which it will grow
j greater and stronger.
I “But there maybe circumstances
; when our own interest, as well as our
duty as a member of’ the great fami y
of Stat -s, must command us to step be
yond the strait line of this poli
cy.“
The Journal of Commerce thus con
! demns armed interference.
| “If it were within the power of Amer
! ica, and would not be destructive to our
! selves, we might do more than express
| our abhorrence of oppression and our
; sympathy with oppressed Hungary, and
1 extend to her our aid. But it would
prove ruinous to our country, and des
troy our.’ own ‘peac-, prosperity and
happiness,’ which are the‘great objects
of our Government. For the purpose
of securing these blessings 1 to ourselves
and posterity ,’ was it formed. But tve
had the aid of France and should be e
qnallygenerous ourselves. Francealone
can claim of us return of the great favors
which she bestowed, for otherwise'ltaly
I and Ireland, and every other oppressed
! nation, as well as Hungary,knight oqual
j ly claim a return for that obligation.
! J *** * * * *
“It was to Kossuth, as the true imper
sonation of the best spirit of liberty in
j the Old world, that homage was paid;
: to Kossuth, btave, virtuous, noble and
eloquent. It showed deep sympathy jin
his cause —our people will express it at
| every hazard—but it promised no active
I exertions in his behalf. That would be
I too dear a sacrifice-”
j The National Democrat of New York,
speaks of Kossuth as 1 the man of the
i Age,’ with a soul occupied with the
! grand ideas ot Civil liberty, not only for
i Hungary, but for the whole world. On
the subject of interference, the Demo
> gratis its advocate. It speaks, however,
; jn a double sense as, for example:
“ Kossuth is right in saying that pub
lic opinion will have no weight if die
sympathies i* expresses in the cause of
1 freedom are accompanied with the con
dition that it will Dot be enforced by
! power. To say that w 6 will not take up
arms to defend it, is giving a charter to
despotism. If there is, in no case, to
be an active interference, then wd may
as well withhold the expression of ouT
sympathies. * * * *
I Interference, however, must ever de
! circumstances. If we would
be likely to endanger safety by interfer-
I ing, or toj involve our country in debt
; extent excessively burdensome
to our people, then we would be justifi
ed in remaining perfectly neutral.
The “ Courier” ’takes ‘” the strongest
groundsagainst the doctrines, put forth
in the speech ot Kossuth, but appears to
have a little personal feeling mixe'd with
it. It says.
“The most bigoted devotee of M Kos
suth cannot deny that he.is turning his
sojourn in this country to purposes not
contemplated nor even imagined in our
national offer of hospitality.
“It was then an asylum, not arena,
that was Kossuth. He was to
eome as a refugee, not as an agitator
—as a victim ot persecution, not as an
agent of strife. The present conduct of
Kossuth cannot be attributed to ignor
ance. He perfectly understands what
has always been, and still is, the settled
of this govern
ment”
The non-intervention doctrines of
Buchanan, as secretary of .State, Taylor,
as President, Webster as Secretary of
State are quotedand followed by severe
comments: , .
“Yet in the fac,e ...of these emphatic
ar,d repeated declarations, Kossuth had
not been an hour In our midst before he
demands the nation’s, operative sym
pathy,” its ’financial, materiaUaui for
tils country’s independence’ the
stranger, be he who he may ‘who tint
confronts the American people, must be
met with something more than smooth
comp iments and honied phrases. He
mu-! be treated with on a business foot
ing and in actual earnest. Others may
use blandishments and court and cajole
him as the}’ pleases we shall use sterner
material,and hall discharge our duty to
wa dshim sincerely, sob rly Mid thor
oughly.”
The Courier then charges Kossuth w th
uttering ‘miserable imputations’ against
it in his Staten Is'and speech, and says:
“But M. Kossuth goes on to insinuate
th.it our course lias been prompted by for
eign p iv. A ciluninv likes this, as absurd
as it is vile we will not deign to refute. M.
Kossuth is welcome to every dupe lie can
make to his slanders.”
The New York Times Ins along article
in the spirit of the foliowing paragraph with
which it is st irted:
“\o barbarians have yet been discovered
who were, inseusiblejto the claims ot hospi
tality. It has been reserved, tor tho -Con
gress of the Unit.-d States to invite a guest
and insult him upon his arrival. * *
As for Kossuth himself, lie can well afford
to be utterly indifferent to Congress and its
acts. His character, his history, and his re
putation here,can neither he helped nor hurt
by whatever action it may bike.”
But the Times adds:
“Wc hope to see Congress take some step
to relieve itself from its present disgraceful
position,”
The Express sympathizes with Kossuth's
speech in the main, regretting, however, that
he should draw distinctions between the
American- people and the Government. These
are one, and so M. Kossuth will find them. —
The Express also eulogises the Hungarian
people, present and past,
Wc understand a most distressing ar
dent occured on Sunday last, on the Macon
and Western Rail Road, in Monroe county.
Mrs. Winn and several children was in the
act of crossing the track, when the engine

age, took fright and ran off down fi )o track,
and before the engine'could be stopped it.
overtook and ran over the carriage, iast-ntly
killing the driver and dangerously if not fatal
ly injuring Mrs. Winn and children.
Union Demonstration.— During Ihe’natnth of
November there were upwards of seventy mar
riage licenses issued at Washington.
Mixed.— The recent quarrel between Col.
\\ ebb and Gen. Wool is thus suinimd up :
“If M ebb cotton to Wool, the product will be
nameless; blit if Wool once get into Webb, it is
clear that Webb must be v i,rsted''’
It is Too Bad. —The ladies are anxious of
having an opportunity to kiss Kossuth, and
it appears that the Magyar is Joo busy to gra
tify their wishes. This is a decided over
sight on the part of Kossuth,for the ladies nev
er will forgive a slight. Butthe dear creatu-es
needn’t mind it—there are other men as hairy
as Ko suth.
Four Saivts have pronounce 1 Kossuth a
humbug—viz: Arehh'sliop Hughes, Lola
Mmtez, J. W. Webb and Fred. Douglass.

■v FOR THE TIMES.
I see hy the newspapers that the amendment t-i
the Constitution has finally, passed, vesting the
powers of a Court “f Ordinary, otqregister of l’rr
bates, in an Ordinary for each county, and .that
the election for that officer is to he held on the
first Monday in January. There are perhaps Lut
few persons who have tried to have busin* s* done
hy the Inferior Court while sitting as a Court
Ordinary, who will not feel gratified at this change.
All that will la- required to have the important
business of Widows and Orphans promptly and
correctly doinf, will he for the poop].- to select an
efficient man to fill the office of Ordinary. 80 far
as this county is concerned we Live abundant evi
