Komcth.— I The following letter will be read
w ith interest. It ia from a correspondent of the
New York Herald, under date of
Marseilles, Oct. 15, 1851.
1 have some Information to send you about
Keasuth and the U. S. frigate Mississippi. I
myself partly witnessed the airair, and the de
tails which I will give about the Hungarian ox
ile, have been gathered from different sources
worthy of consideration, and to be relied upon.
These details have not been published in En
gland.
Let me begin on the air res of Italy, at Spex
sia, where Captain Long arrived with the Mis
aissipplon the 2lst of Sopt., not only to take
the orders of Commodore Morgan, but also to
receive coal to continue his voyage. When the
Mississippi arrived at the Italian port, and as
soon as the presence of Kossuth was known
thero, the would-be patriots of the city rowed
Into the harbor and ga.hercd around the’ Ameri
can frigate, and called out the Hungarians, who,
despite the solicitations and remonstrances
of Capt. Long, went on the deck, joined in
the shouts, and doubled the excitement. Kos
suth, himself, instead of keeping quiet, ascend
ed on the elevated portion of the upper defek, and
harangued the crowd. On the same evening,
the whole city of Spezxia was illuminated ; and
on the next morning, about sunrise, hundreds
of boats came round, loaded with people, holding
banners and singing songs of the most exciting
demagoguical character. Kossuth was again on
the eve of appearing, when Commodore Motgan,
after a conference with the Governor of Spezzia,
ordered the frigate to sail immediately, though
Captain Long Lad not in all the necessary coal.
What was to be done 7 It was not possible to
reach Gibraltar, and Capt. Long thought prudent
to go to Marseilles, not supposing that thero
would be any cause to cxcito the mob there.
The Mississippi arrived at Marseilles, on the
26 th ult t and as soon as she was in sight of the
shore, Kossuth applied to Capt. Long, reques
ting him to allow him to land as soon as he could
possibly to.do it. This wa9 refused by Captain
Long, on the reasonable and proper ground that
he had no authority to do 60. The pilot soon
camo on board, and also the American Consul
residing in Marseilles—Mr. John L. Hodge—to
whom Kossuth and his friends also presented
their request. The Consul went immediately
to the prefecture, and there begged M. do Saban,
the Governor of the State, to grant the request
of the passengers ot the Mississippi. '1 his was
refused ; but M. Saban, on the renewal of the de
mand of Mr Hodge,sent a telegraphic dispatch to
M. Leon Faueher, the present Minister of the
Interior, which was immediately replied to,refu
sing the permission. In the meantime M. Sa
ban had permitted Kossuth and his comrades
to come on shore, under the special guarantee of
the Consul-first that they would not quit the
city and escape through France—second, that
they would wear no uniform or signs of distinc
tion—third, that they would avoid any kind of
disturbance and occasions to create it. These
conditions had been solemnly sworn to by all the
Hungarians. Then began . the difficulty on
board of the frigate Mississippi. Kossuth was
not ready logo in the first boat 5 when the other
exiles became insolent, and declared to Captain
Long that they would not wait for the Governor
in Chief, and that they would go on shore before
him. They also added that they were “equal”
and that they had no “chief,” and that Kossuth
was “no more than one of them ” This was,
of courso, unmticed by Capt. Long, who had
orders to obey, and who let them shout as loud
and discuss as long as they were pleased. They
did not go to Marseilles before Kossuth, who
landed first at the office of La Sante, at the en
try of the portot Marseilles.
Previous to Kossuth’s landing the ex-lea ler
of the Hungarian war had received many visi
tors on board, and among them several Italian
refugees, partisans of Mazzini, had communica
ted with him, and received private instructions
as to views and plans for the future, and of
his design to return to Hungary as soon as an
opportunity occurred for him to do so. Conse
sequently, they returned on shore, where they
prepared everything to receive Kossuth in great
triumph.
The Hungarian chfefdid not first attract much
attention on his landing in the city of Marseilles
He peaceably retired to ono of the hotels, and
awaited the answer of the Minister of the Inte
rior. It arrived the next morning, and as soon
as Kosßuth knew that ho was denied a passage
through France, he manifested his jntjntioa to
return to the Mississippi. This took place on
Sunday, the 23th, and the news of his leaving
the city spread as quick as lightning. Imme
diately thcMazzinians followed him to the shore
and embarked after him in all the boats they
were able to hire, carrying banners in their
hinds and shoutinx, “Vive Kossuth 1 Vivest les
EtatsUnisl Viva la Republique! Viva la Denio
cratique I” and other enthusiastic hurrahs and
shouts.
On the same evening the newspapers of Mar
seilles, belonging to the party of the rogue?, pub
a manifesto, a sort of proclamation, written by
Kossuth, and directed to the people of Marseil
les, which has been re-published in all the
newspapers of France and England Its authen
ticity has been denied by several newspapers of
London ; but it is well known here that it was
a genuine article. I have seen the original in
the office ol the Journal Le Peuple, and I de
clare it is no forgery. It is upon the same paper
from which I have taken Kossuth’s signature,
which I send to the Herald in this envelope.
[We have this signature in our possession at the
Herald office.]
Three of the officers of the Hungarian troop—
Louis Tovork, Prater andKalapza— who did not
return with Kossuth, conceived the unfortunate
idea of promenading the streets of Marseilles,
dressed in their uniforms. They entered the
Case Bodoul, a public establishment in the Rue
St. Ferreol, where instantly they were surround
ed by an immense crowd, which cheered them
with huzzas and shouts. The police were finally
obliged to interfere, and induce them to leave by
aback door, behind the Rue St. Ferreol. This
unforseen and much to be regretted excitement,
compelled the Prefect, M. Saban, to write a very
polite letter to the American Consul, Mr. Horige,
requesting him not to permit any more of the
Hungarians to land on French territory. It was
necessary for him to take such a step, for there
are abeut ton thousand refugees of all nations at
Marseilles, who, though not dreaded by the au
thorities are, nevertheless, riotous enough to be
considered dangerous examples. Mr. Hodge, on
the receipt of this letter of M. Saban, went on
board the Mississippi, and showed it to Kossuth,
who, after Its perusal, said, with much anger, to
the American Consul, that it was an insult to
America,and that he, Mr. Hodge, ought to no
tice it, and withdraw the sign and flag of the
United States from his door till be should have
received apologies from M. Saban.
in the meantime, the red republican journal,
Lt Peuple, published an article which was seiz
ed as soon as published, and all the copies were
taken to the Prefecture and burnt, whilst the
Procurer of the republic issued a warrant against
the writer of the article, who was accused of
rebellion against the government, and Insult
towards the authorities of the city. I have,
through my acquaintances, obtained one of the
two copies left in the hands oi the Prefect, M.
Sabin, which I send to the Herald, and it is
worth being published. Never, for a long time
at least, have the journalists of the provinces
shown suoh an audacity of language, and M.
P. Dubose will pav, with several months, if
not years, of imprisonment, for the part he has
taken in behalf of Kossuth.
I have been told by a gentleman who was per
sonally acquainted with Captain Long, that all
these Hungarian heroes, (with the exception of
two or three, who behaved like gentlemen,)
Save him great trouble. They dally call upon
im, complains that they are more prisoners
than when they were at Kutayah ; whilst, on
the contrary, they are attended to with much
gare, and considered more than they deserve,
personally speaking. They find no accommo
dation comfortable enough for them—no food,
no drink good enough for their palate ; and
last, not the least, they do all in their power to
cieate disturbance on board of the man-of
war.
Those exiles, so well treated by the govern
ment ol the United States, are fifty-seven in all,
including children and women.
Kossuth is surrounded with apics, who are
paid by the Austrian government to watch all
his movements and copy all his papers. I am
told by gooa authority that there is a Jew, with
his wife and seven children, who are near him
in that capacity. Thero are also three women,
and a Colonel, who have no other motive but to
discover the plans of Kossuth, and transmit
them to the Austrian ministry. Thus, it was
know beforehand, at Marseilles, that Kossuth
desired to visit Paris, and consult there with a'l
the demagogues and socialists of the capital of
France, if he had had no occassion to land at
Marseilles, he had made up his mind to cross
the Channel, and to visit Paris, either publicly
or secret y. When he was at Marseilles, ha re
quested Captain L ng to let him go to Paris,
and then to go to Gibraltar, and wait tor him.
He proposed to meet the frigate at Gibraltar in
twenty days, thus putting tho government of
the United States to an enormous expense, and
to great troublo, in detaining the vessel for his
own pleasure.
The government at Washington may bo as
sured that Kossuth’s intention is not to go to the
United States, at leastt o live there quietly, like
Major Ujazv, Mrs. Tochman, and other noble
exiles from Hungary and Poland. Kossuth has
but one desire, which is to find money, arms, and
ammunition, and to resumo tho war against
Austria. He publicly said, to Captain Long
and his officers, "that if the United States do
not take a fall interest in the affairs of his coun
try, he would not have any gratitude for a re
public which has so little of energy as to fear
the old European despotism.” As every one
may see, Kossuth is anambitious man, who has
in view his own interests, and takes no trouble
to conceal this vice from the public gaze. All
those who have seen him, and spoke with hirn,
either on board of the Mississippi, or at the
hotel where he remained twenty-foui hours, in
Marseilles, have assured me that he was a man
of excessive vanity, of dictatorial will, and that,
in the meantime, he was very persuasive, and
the most eloquent and popular orator of the age.
He apes republicanism, but he aspires to re
sume his ditatorial power.
I have spoken to several of his countrymen
whom I met in Marseilles, and all, even some
of his friends, call him a lache. It is well known
that although Kossuth always says in his
speeches that ho has but one desire—that of
dying for liberty—he was the first to fly to Tur
key in 1849, resigning his powers into the hands
of Georgey, whom he knew to be a traitor. I
have been premised by a very able writer of
Hungary, who has been a great deal in the com
pany of Kossuth daring the wars of the Magyars,
Ihe biography and political career of the ex
governor of Pesth and Comorn, and 1 will for
ward it to New York as a reliable document,
which will show tho man in his true light.
A8 for the personal appearance of the Hunga
rian chief, he is about five feet ten inches, a
middle sized man, forty-eight years of ago.
Tho most prominent features of his head are a
long beard, similar to that of a Capuchin, and a
prominent forehead. His hair is cut half short,
and he wears a black Hungarian hat, adorned
with ostrich feathers of tho same celor.—
His ordinary costume is generally a black
frock coat, cut in the same fashion as
that of a Canadian Catholic priest—without col
lar.
Such is the exact portrait of the politician for
whom the United States have taken so much
trouble —the " bosom friend” of Mazzini and
Ledru Rollin. We shall eee, ere long,if I have
exaggerated the coloring of my picture.
I have been requested, by several Americans
in Marseilles, to mention here the gallant con
duct ot Mr. Hodge, in bohalf of a Captain Ware
ham, of tho American ship Clayborn, from
Now Orleans, who was arrested by the French
authorities, on the ground that, being born a
F. enchman, he was a deserter and deserved to be
punished. It was immediately represented by
Mr. Hodge, that Capt. Wareham was natural
ized aei izen of tho United States; and when
the Procureur of the Republic, despite this affir
mation, which was duly accompanied with
proof, went on for trial, the American Consul
wrote to the Prefeet, telling him that this wouid
be considered by him as an insult to his Govern
ment ; and that if the American citizen was not
set free instanter, he would appeal to the Presi
dentof the United States. Such firmness was
sufficient to show that the officers of the Union
were not to be imposed upon and trifled with on
any occassion.

WEDNESDAY MORNING, .... NOV. 12.
The August* Arsenal.
The arrival of Coi. Geo. H. Talcott, to
wham has been assigned the eommand of th s
sta'ion, has suggested the propriety of calling
the attention of our citizens to a subject in
which they are all more or less interested. It
is wel! known that there are in the South bu t
three depots for the arms of the United States,
the two naval depots at Norfolk and Pensacola
and that at Harper’s Ferry in Virginia. The
two former are wholly nnsuited, bscauae of
the dampness of the climate, for the keeping of
small arms, and the la ter is by no means so
accessible to the southern Atlantic and Gulf
coasts, as Augusta, whichcombines great facili
ties for tha transportation to all points of the
southern coast, and one of the best and driest
climates in the Union for the preservation ot
the arms. These considerations should oper
ate to induce the department to make this a
depot for small arms, independent of the fact,
that the Augusta Canal passes through or near
the government property, which tffords abun
dant water power for the propelling of any ma
chinery for the repairing or manufacture of
arrat. While in command of this station,
some years ago, Col. Tolcott submitted to
ths department these considera'isns, together
with a plan of operations, which are now cn
file in the department at Washington, and
which it is our purpose on the present occasion
(e bring afresh (o the consideration of our citi*
sens, that they may take the proper s eps to
bring it again before the department, and urge
its adoption, as it cannot but be mutually bene
ficial to the government and this community.
In point of health the Augusta Areecal is
net surpassed by any in the Union. We have
railroad communication with Charleston, and
■coo will have with Savannah, Montgomery
and Nashville, and in a very few years with
Louisville, Kentucky; thus affording the
greatest facilities for transporting any num
her of men, arms and munitions with despatch
to any and all sections of the Southern States.
These facts,in our opinion, alien'd not be
overlooked by the government, and our citi
zens ehould not fail to press them earn
estly upon the consideration of the department
with a view to the objects sugge s e 1.
Mr. Ti.rasher—Spain —The United States.
We are not a little surprised to find in that
intelligent journal, the N O. Picayune, the fol
lowing article, quoted from the treaty of 1795,
between Spain and the United States,iniroduc
ed in support of the position that this govern
ment should interpose for the release of Mr.
Thrasher.
"And it ;s agreed that the subjects or oitizens of
each of the contracting parties, their vessels or ef
fects, shall not be liable to any embargo or detention
cn the part of the other, for any military expedition
or other public or privute purpose whatever : And in
all cases‘bf seizure, detention, or arrest for debts
contracted, or offences committed by any citizen or
subject of the one p'rty within the jurisdiction of tbe
other, the same shall be made and jroaecuted by ci
der and authority of law only, and according to the
regular course of proceedings usual in such casos.
Tbo citizens and subjects ot both ..uit'oa shall be al
lowed to employ such advocates, solicitors , notarita
agents and factors, as they may judgo proper, in all
the r affiiis, and in ail their trials at law ia which
they may be concerned before the tribunals cf the
other party, and such agents shall have free access
to be present at the proceedings in such causes, and
at the taking of ait examinations and evidence
which miy be exhibited in said trials."
If Mr. Thbasher was a citizen of the United
State?, under the above article, the govern
ment ought to interfere. But unfortaatclv for
those who rely upon this art : clß of the treaty,
Mr. T. is net a citizen of the United States and
has not been, according to the Picayune for
near twenty years, for he has been that long
a resident of Cuba. Hs is a native of Port
land, Maine, and with his brother and parents
moved, near twenty yeara ago,to Havana.where
he has resided ever since. He has, therefore*
by his own vo'untary act, expatriated himself,
(which according to the principles of our gov
ernment he had a right to do) and cannot
claim its protection, in this or any other emer
gency. It WBs to vindicate this right of expa
triation on the part of a citizen or subject that
produced the war of 1812 between Englafed
and the United States—England contended
that her subjects coo d nor expatriate themselvjs
and claimed the right to impress them into hir
service wherever found. This obnoxiois
principle the government of the United Stass
repudiated ; a war ensued, and England wis
forced into an acquiescence in the position
of the Unit ed States. And it is scarcely rea
sonable to suppose, that she will now repudi
ate a principle, ior the maintenance of which
she went to war, to satisfy the .factious clamor
of a few discontented spirits, who are ve-y
anxious to involve the governments of the
United States and Spain in a war. Besides,it
is perfectly absurd and ridiculous to assume,
that because a man happens to be born on our
soil, that this government is bound to protect
him wherever he goes, no matter how long he
may have permanently resided abroad.
Let us suppose that Mr. T. bad resided in
Maine till hejhad attained the age of manhood,
had then removed to Havana, Persia'or China,
and resided there permanently, for fifty years,
and in bis old age had been imprisoned on a
mere suspicion of enmity to the government
under which ho lived; does any man suppose
that this government is bound or would be
bound to protect him? Certainly not. He
owes it no allegiance, he a(Tords it no support,
and could not be required to give it aid in any
emergency. What claim has he, then, upon it?
None whatever.
That Mr. T. is a most worthy, accomplished,
high fouled gentleman, and is an innocent
victim of Spanish tyranny, we have no doubt,
and he certainly merit, the warmest sympathies
of every lover of Freedom. But until our
government establishes as her course of policy,
that it is her duty to rush to the rescue of every
citizen of a corrupt, tyrannical government,
who may be the victim of its prosecution, we
cannot consent to fold oar arms and see our
people running riot about Cuban affairs, with
out warning them against the consequences of
such folly.
Mr. Thrasher is the architect of his own
fortunes; he abandoned America end sought
the protection of Spain, and he mast acquiesce
in the result. We are aware that these senti
ments will be very obnoxious to the Cuban
sympathisers generally, and to all that impal’
sire class who are influenced rather by feeling
than judgment and reason, and we shall pro.
bably be denounced as heartless, and such oth
er choice epithets. Such things do not dis
turb os. We have a doty to perform es well
toonrsefves, to our country, and our citizens, as
to Mr. Thrasher, and we sha I perform it re
gardless of all such taunts. -That duty is to
hold our government to the strict and rigid per
formance of its duties, consulting rather the
chart up-in which it is based, than the sympa
thies of a portion of tha people or the clamors
of a faction, to direct its eourso.
Obituary Xctleo of the Southern Rights
Party,
With extracts from Funeral Discounts d/liver
erf on the occasion in apne of ths principal
Cities of ths State of Georgia.
Died at its residence in Georgia, on or
about the Ist Monday in October last, the
Southern Rights, alias Democratic Southern
Rights, alias Democratic State Rights Repnb
lican party. It was one of three sisters born
at one birth in Nashville, in 1650, of which
one emigrated to Mississippi, another to Ala
bama, while the third direoted its steps to
Georgia. These many-headed sisters were
noted especially for their stentorian voices,
but also for faces of brass and singular pro
pensities to eat fire. The Georgia sister was
the last survivor of the three. The manner
of her death is somewhat uncertain. Some
suppose it to have been occasioned by the
pressure of a superior enmbent mass of no
iess than 18,000 votes. Others conceive that
sha came to her untimely end by a species of
infanticide, being killed by her own parents.
The question “to kill or not to kill his child
of cna year’s growth?” was certainly disens
sed by them, and with heartless calculations of
expediency,decided in favor of the murder-
Others, however, consider it rather In the
light of a divorce by death (effected by the
murder of a former spouse) from Southern
Rights, with a view to propositions of matri
mony to Democracy. Such propositions are
obrionsly now making on all hands, and he
suit pressed with each vigor as to give great
color to this supposition.
Whatever the canse of the death—er the
motives of the murderer—it is evident that
the Southern Rights party ia dead, and its «n
--happy relict laudably endeavoring to secure
itself from the pains of widowhood,by a speedy
second aiarriage.
It will be observed with what coolness the
expediency of (bo killing—the fact of the
death—and the new arrangemsnts consequent
upon it are discussed in tha very funeral dis
courses delivered thereon.
TO KILL OR HOT TO KILL.
(l The decisive defeat of ihe Southern Rights
party in Georgia ends us career as a sectional party,
organized to resist past wrongs perpetrated on the
South, and to prepare for future aggressions.
“ Georgia has now twice emphatically declared
that ate tas suffered no wrongs requiring any re
dress, end therefore, acquiesces in the past. As to
the future, the State is iqually committed by these
elections to resist, even to disunion, if necessary,
certain aggressions specified by its Convention,
which the Southern Rights party would be quite as
prompt as the dominant party to resist. Jt, then,
the Constitutional l’nien party be sincere, and stand
tirrn on those grounds, there is no division of public
sentiment ia Georgia as to the proper policy of the
State in the contingencies supposed.
But leaving the future positions es men to be
determined by the crcuti qs thojr atlcS, tbo toalinit
now occupying the tniuds of the deflated party in
Georg's is, sbsil it ktep up its sectional organiza
tion, or sliuii it unite *i h that party which a-siiui
lates netrest to its own principles, and contends for
the same general policy in the administration of the
federal government? If the former, it weds itself to
a Quixotic and hopeless struggle to revive issues
which have been definitely settled, and are now
forever dead. Ifiheiatter, it will survive to con
tend f r issues that are alive and practical—for
principles which are dear to every Southern Rights
man, becaute ho is a State Rights man, a strict
constructionst and an opponent j1 federalism.
“ We believe the latter courre will be preferred
and decided upon by tbe Southern Rights party.
It would seem the part of patriotism, as wtll as of
incl nation, for its members to unite with thit party,
by whoso ail they may belt hops to establish their
princ pies of State Rights and str.ct construction, and
ttamp them upon the action of the federal govern
ment. Through that course atone, can they beet
render thetr ii fiuer.ee felt in protecting the South
f:o:n the assaults which abolitionism is striving to
make upon her by means of the federal arm,”
MAIDENLY COYNESS.
“ Till Washington Unite holds wide opon, to the
Southern Rights men, the doors which leads i .to
the great National Democratic wig-wain, and in
rites them iu.
Wc presume they will reconnoitre a little rnd
watch who go into it, and are admitted into full
fellowship—who are likely to get the high seats in
the councils of 2he Sachems, and what borl cf te
fluei ces are at work there, before many of them
avail themselves too readily of the invitation.
*****
11 it is natural then; that Southern Rights men
should Lc wary and sus[icioas. They should watch
the course cf the Djmocratic party, and note well
its dominant influences, lent in trusting to its support
of States Rights principles they should find these
[ rine p es engulphed a d overwhelmed.”
*
THE ACCEPTANCE CF THE CONSTITUT.ONALIIT.
“That the Whig party of the Union will mak'i a
nomination hr President that the Southern Rights
party could sustain, is not in the range of possible
things. That the National Democracy may make
sneh a nomination, is not impossible. Whether the
Whig or the Dernocratio elements will prevail in the
Constitutional Union ranks and carry that party for
»*'<» Whig or the Democratic nominee, or whether it
will make a nomination of its own, is a matter for
time to determine.
There are Dein.erats, in the North ns well as the
South, among whom we may particularly designate
Buchanan and Dallas, whom the Southern Rights
party could support with an honest zeal, and with
out a sacrifice of its principles.”
THE ACCEPTANCE OF THE REPUBLIC.
“—— S ippose, for the sake of policy, and, to ea
cape an unjust odium which has attached to as un
der the name of the Southern Rights party, it should
take a different name 9 What of thatl Is that any
reason why Southern Rights whigs should shrink
back and falter in their duty 1 By no means.
• * • • •
When the Southern Rights Whigs first saw the
South assailed openly, and afterwards insidiously by
her Northern foes—when the fabric of Southern
Rights shook to its centre and tottered for want of
sustaining help, who a'dsd mostly, and w,th n no
ble and sublime ztal, to support and ateady it 9
Democrats, yea Democrats. Southern Rights whigs
who acted with them, who toiled and sympathized
and strove through a long and gloomy period with
them, to save the'South from tho devouring deep ol
future ruin, can never forgot the valor, the publia
v rtue nnd devoted patriotism of tho democrats.
These facta have effaced all ancient prejudices, and
made the Southtrn Rights whigs and damocrata
faithfi’l lilies in their present and future political
hopes.”
DEMOCRACY, THE ONLY POSSIBLE ALLIANCE.
“ borne people talk of whiggery as if it had a bo*
ing. It may live in aome deceitful form, seeking to
affect ito objecio. power and plunder, under the guisa
of C< nan tut ional Unionism ; but we speak of it aa a
party Whero is it 9 L was garrettd at Milladga
villo, on the 12th of December last by its own load
ers. There ia, therefore, no whig party to go to
It ierta'nly can have no attractions for Southern
Rights whigo, under the form of Constitutional
Unionism.”
DISCOURSE or THB SAVANNAH GEORGIAN.
" The Dbmcobaoy or thb South. -The follow
ingjartic'as, the first from a pro-compromise and the
second from an unii-eompromite Democratic press
cf Alabama, indicate a disposition to harmonize the
conflicting elements of the party in that State. This
is a course which we are inclined to think, both the
interests of Democracy and the interests of the
South, require that the party should pursue, in all
the Southern States. The South bavin* through' ut
her borders, determined to acq tiescc in tLo Adjust
ment scheme, bitterly and heartily as we have been
opposed to it, yet the time has come when duty, if
not feeling, requires that manifestation of hostility
should cease. We are convinced that the further
discussion of its nature and character, iuatcad of re
suiting in its modi fiction er amendment, can only
issue in building up, strengthening and compacting
the Federal Whig parly ; a [aity to whose influ
ence and principles, the country owes the difficulties
and embarrassments wh'cb have, for yetrs, harrass
ed and threatened its welfare. * *
Hence the importance of keeping the admi: iteration
of the General Govcrnn ent out ol Fedemi hands ;
and above all things, the importance of freventirig
the Federalist* frem obtaining any strong and per
minent foothold in the Southern States. Theee
oljecta we believe can only be accomplished by a
Union of Democrats, South and North, on iheirold
Republican and »late Rights princip >:s ; the
doctrines upon which Jefferson uud Madt on built
up the party in 1798 and 'S9; prine ; p !*.s upon
which alone, the Union of the States, the rights of the
States, and the iibertie** of the people, can for any
long while be preserved. 11
THE FiDEHAL (7XlO* AN IMPATIENT WIDOW.
“Re-organization of the Dimoceai to Par
ty. —The q-’estions upon which the Southern Rights
and the l/nion parties were formed, hare been
finally settled, and forever put to rest by the people
W e consider that the mission of boih parties is at sn
end, and both have passed away and ceased to exist
with tho issues that crea'cd them. Things that
have already transpired within a few days and in
dications ol what will soon take plr.ee in Miiledge
ville, prove to a demonstration that the cH Whig
party bss been revived in *ll its vigor, and wi h
more than its ancient hatred of Democracy. In this
emergency it becomes tha imperious duty of every
numthat professes to be governed by Detnrcratic
principles to rally a round the time-honored flag of
Democracy, which has so often led us to victory.
State Rights, Southern Rights, and astiictcon
struction of the constitution, have always been car
dinal principles of the Democratic party. Ij*t every
man that holds tbaso principles go with us. Let
by-gones be by goncs. Let us look to tbe future.
In this ctus; we unfurl our flag and nail it to the
mest. We expect scon to see a Democratic Conven
tion compored of D legates from every part of ihe
State assemble, which shall give force and direction
to tbe Democratic party in its f iture mov- ineuts in
the Presidential campaign which is about to opea
We have not spaca for further remarks on .hisun*

Died, in Klberton, on the 4th inst., after a protrac

" Oh I what a shadow o’er the heart is flung,
When peals the requiem of the lov’d and young!”
He graduated at Franklin Collage in 1848, and
about twolve months aiace joined bis fortunes la
wedlock te an interesting youog lady. His engag
ing manners, hie amiable and genlleinanlv deport
ment. had won for him, in his brief career, a host of
true hearted friends. Thus, in the very outset,
every thing seemed to woo him to the race of life,
and giro promise of a bright a piosperous and a hap
py future. But in an untimely and unexpected
hour, a mysterious Piovidence called him honoe,
and tho country has lost a good citizen, a fond wifa
an efl'ectionate huebund; devoted parents an only
son | and loving si ters an only brother. This ia
truly a sad bereavement; an atflio’iug dispensation
of Divine will. Hut wo trust it may be sanctified
to tho good of aurriving relatives and Iriends.
