Mr. Stanly moved to antond tho resolution
by adding thereto tho following:
lit solved, That, In adopting this resolution,
tjila House does not ballevo that Louis Kos
suth, nobly struggling In behnlf of his op-
pr—sd country, has given Ids approbation to
or bgs any sympathy with tho abolitionists,
*l|b, In a Convention recently hold In Penn
sylvania, (at which an address was delivered
by ono of the members of tills House,) with
• wicked disregard of tho obligations of Hie
constitution nnd laws of tho land, proclaimed
that they sympathize with Kossuth on his
'-heroic devotion to tho cause of freedom, end
expressed the hope that his herculean Inborn
In this behalf would conditco to the overthrow
of oppression, not in Hungary nlono, but in the
United States and throughout the world."
.' Mr. 8, said: lam glad to aqc that somo
gentleman tn tlila part of tho House are satls-
tted with that resolution, and I hope that they
will vote for it. I Shall not vote for the reso-
lutlonof the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Cart
er) as it now stands. I wish to do all that
tho country requires. But wo have had no
opportunity of presenting our views upon
this question of national intervention; nnl
then again a demand 1ms been made, in a sol
emn form, to give to Louis Kossuth tho aid
•tot influence of tho abolition society. I have
regarded ids movements with a great deal of
Interest sinco his arrival in this country, nnd
hiJid I been hero when the resolution of wel
come from tho Scimt e was passed I might
have voted for it. Since then I have had my
ojrels oiwned, and I think it is time for every
gentleman herd, especially from the Southern
country; to pause and sec what they arc about.

most In advocating this resolution'} Who

Is there an abolitionist here who is not urgent in
demanding that Lonis Kossuth shall lie priv-
ileged to admission in this House 1 Tho hon
orable member front Ohio, (Mr. Gldilings.)

But I need have no apprehension of that kind,
for these Statu rights' men In the “ charnel-

direction. I conld not tbllow them, no mat
ter how sacred tho flog they pretended to
raise. I should first desire to examine tho

Mr. Chnlrninu, I hnvo heard it said that
Austria. Russia, and Haynnu have friends and
uilvocates in this House. 1 might with pro
priety refer this unworthy remark to tho gen
tleman on the other side. Tho author of it
will llnd among tils political friends men of
patriotism equal to tits, whoso deportment ho
had better imitate, who are ub Arm In their
opposition to tills resolution os nny on this side
of thu- House. Oentlemeu of both parties

ated by principle—firm, true and unflinching
men—unite In opposing It. Sir, If t wore to

who had boon iutlinato with discussions at tho
Five l'olute, in Now York and thorn learned
Ills courtesy, I should not bo more unjust than
ho was who charged thoso who oppose this
resolution os being tho friends of Haynnu.

eration. When we sue the courso adopted by
the abolitionists; when wo soo tho proceed

Stanly.) I know tho sentiments and feelings
of his heart, having long served will: 1:1m

kindness. I will soy to him, In tho com
mencement, nnd very frankly, that ho need
bo at no trouble about going to heaven, for ho

Tho gentleman seems not to have discussed
any matter submitted to this House or this
Congress, but ho has seen proper to travel to
Philadelphia to catch up newspaper articles
to discuss here, instead of tliu resolution un
der consideration. This was unexpected to
ine, nnd he appeals to mo ns though ho felt
confident that ho could draw me from my pro
priety, to enter into n discussion of this kind.
It is no compliment that the gentleman has
|aild to my judgment, and if hu hud known
me us well us he should, he must have known
that he could succeed in no utteinpt to draw
me into a discussion of this character. 1 thank
him not for tills left-handed compliment to
my judgment nnd understanding. He should
have known that no slaveholder, by tlio crack
of his lash, could drive mu into au impropri
ety of this kind.
My sentiments that gentleman well knows,
and he is also aware that I am at all times
ready to express them, here nnd elsewhere.
He will bear testimony to tile promptitude
with which 1 have always met attacks upon
my sentiments. The gentleman shakes bis
head; but 1 ask him to lay bis linger on a

when I have been assailed.

This Imposing coroniony In honor of tho
great Hungarian, and in testimony of the o|i-
provat by our government of tho canse of lib
erty in Europo, which ho represents, tookplaco
yesterday In thcr Senate Chamber, at one
o’clock. The proceeding, though august In
its significance, was unostentatious in its char
meter. As no similar prcsciitatlun to cither
House of Congrtfa has occurred,'except’in
the case of General Lafayette, we deem It
proper to. note tjip, „dctni|a of the proceed,
ing with dxnctncss.
At the appointed hour, the Semite, on thu
suggestion of Its President, sus|iended its
usual business.. Governor Kossuth, In his
official costume and with bis sword at his side
appeared at the main entrance, preceded by
two members of the committee of introduc
tion, (General Shields and Mr. Seward.) and
followod by the third incraLcr (General Cass )
mid advanced in this order till ho stood in the
centre ofthe Senate Chamber.
Gen. Shields, thu chairman ofthe commit
tee, thou said;
Mr. PnciiDENT: Wo have tho honor to an
nounce to you Louis Kossuth, and to Intro
duce him to Clio Senate ofthe United States.”
The President of tho Senate thou rose and
said :
Louis Kossuth, I welcome you to tho Sen
ate of the United States. Tlio committee
will conduct you to tho seat which I have
caused to bo prepared for you."
Governor Kossuth bowed In acknowledg
ment of this public recoption, and, being
conducted by Gen, Shtelda and Mr. Seward
to a seat Immediately In front ofthe Secretary's
tablo, took his seat,, with Gen. Shields on his
right hand, aud Mr. Soward and Gen. Cass on
his left.
Mr. Mangum then rose and said ;
“ For tho purpose of affording to tho mem
bers this body an opportunity to pay their
respectatoourillustriouagueat,I move that
wo do now adjourn.”
Tho motion waa carried, and tho Senate ad
journed. Thu President of tin Senate and
other Scnatora left their scats, and, as they
approached Governor Kossuth, wore severally
presented to him. by the members of thu
committee.
The entire front nnd side galleries of tlio
Cbembor were completely tilled by tho ladies
who had assomlrled to witness the ceremony:
Many ladies found places on tho floor of the
Senate, the rule havlngbeon suspended with
a view to their admission there. The report
er’s gallery was assigned to gontlemen, and
was also crowded.
There was no applause—tho spectators ap

Thoughts for Farmers.
At or before tills season of tlio year, it is
usual for intelligent and successful farmers to
lay out tbolr ptnnR and commence the prepar
ation of their lands for a new crop of oats,
corn, cotton, $0. In tills region of country,
tlio last two years,(with here nnd there an ex
ception, have been lilgtily unpropitluiis to tlio
growth of average crops, particularly of tho
two former, and had not an nbnhdant wheat
harvest como to our relief tho country would
have had a foretaste of a temporary famine.—
As It is, It will require the exercise of the most
rigid economy upon tho part of all concerned
for the next six months to enable the provis
ion crop of Inst year to hold out until the new
ono is laid by or gathered. We will venture
the assertion, tlint within the recollection of
tlio " oldest inhabitant,” there never was n
more universal failure at the South oftlio oat
crop, than the one witnessed last year, nor a
more magnificent display of nubbins and
small potatoes. Fortunately for themselves,
If not for tlioir owners, n goodly number of
neat cattlo took a near cut out of trouble by
surfeiting themselves upon blasted or smut
com in tbe fall, and thus escaped the more
tardyaml mortifying process of gradual star
vation. Enough however, survive, and horn
less and foddorlcss,wander forth seeking some
thing to devour, to excite our commiseration,
it 'd elicit our charities; and tve would suggest
to the worthy officer) and members ofthe
different Agricultural Associations in Georgia,
that fairs bo hold durlng-the present year for
their ospeclnl boneflt. >
