HOW IS THE THE TO ft I' 1 5 M RIBE. . , With the Farmers, the Summer S Work is done, the nights are growing long, and the tedious hours of the winter evenings cannot be better employed than in reading a GOOD NEWSPAPER and only. think the Weekly State Sentinel for ONE DOLLAR A TEAR. Which period includes the Session of Congress, the State Legis4a(tue,.and the Presidential and State Elections. ' We have now four thousand subscribers. This number may easily be doubled in twenty days. If you WANT I PAPER FOB: NOTHING, send us ten dollars, with teiv names, and you shall have an extra copy. Get up the Clubs, boys ! Greely's Declaration o Independence. Horace Grecly complains bitterly of the conduct of the ''Silver Grey" branch of the Whtg- party in New York, who are understood to be the particular friends of President Fillmore. We copy the following extract from an article in the New York Tribune, headed ' I it Peace or War!" which docs not look like great harmony: Have we arrived, tken. at the prtinr of the ways? Do those Whigs who uphold the Fugitive Slave Law propose to make it their Shibboleth, and strike dwn every whig candidate who may be pointed at as a 'Seward man." or who deems that enactment unworthy of a free people? These are questions which demand unequivocal answers. We have in good faith supported at the late election the Whig candidates who disagreed as well as those who agreed with us respecting slavery. We worked harder for Mr. Ullmann, a decided Compromise chid, tbaa tor tiny other candidate, deeming it due to food faith that he should be heartily supported by our de. We never commended him as aught but what he is; for we wished it demonstrated that " Seward men" support Whigs of the other section as cordially as the candidates from their own side. But now we must know, before going farther, whether liberty of thought and speeeh practically exists in the Whig party, or is to be sought eteewhere. We insist on a distinct understanding, before another election, whether anti-slaveiy sentiments are held a disqualification for eandidatfship in the Whig party. If they are. let us draw the lines, and ee who are in the party and wiio ontside of it. If the Editors. Postmasters and Cooin House Officers who compose tbe bulk of tl.e Silver Gray faction in this State want to fry conclusions with those whom ihey stigmatize as '-Woolly," let us set the ball in motion. And we here give notice that, while we accord perfect freedom of views and of action to others, we will be satisfied with nothing less for ;hose of our own faith. Wc recog. ' .it wt,;.. k un t ;i . . i i 7 mxe all as w higj who npnolu the principles anil advocate . the distinctive measures of the Whig parly; will vote for such irrespective of Slavery or Anti-Slavery. Is not i that enough? If not, and new tests are to bu imposed, new conditions exacted, which bind ns to acquiescence in what we deem wrong, or to silence with regard to it, we reject the manacles sonaht to be imposed, and whether in or oat of the Whig party, will live and die free. Editors in Town. The Editorial corps were well represented at the recent Lane demonstration in this city. Among the fra ternity we noticed Judge Thatcher of the Shelbyville Volunteer Messrs Mdiowel of fh M. Tn,nl . .-si-. . - . , - , ' McLans of tha Terre Haute Journal; Horton of the Vevay Gazette; Sproule of the Madison an; Matthews , of the New Albany Ledger; Jones of the Columbus ' Democrat j and Daily of tbe Connersville Democrat. j I ETAgain, says the Sentinel, "we will support the nominees of that Convention, provided they are sound and consistent democrats, and opposed to the further agitation of the slavery question, and in favor of the compromise measures, and opposed to the repeal of the Fugitive Slave Law." So will we, and we will gn still farther, we will support any sound and consistent demo, erat, regardless nf his personal views of the compromise measures, including the Fugitive Slave Law. On these subjects let every man enjoy his own opinions. Will the Sentinel do as much? Lafayette Courier. The Sent.nel will support no man for office who is in favor of tbe repeal of the Fugitive Slave Law. If such a man should be nominated by a Democratic Convention, we will strike his name from the list. Our attachment to the Union is stronger than to party. New Jersey. The Trenton True American, the able central organ of the Democracy, says of the great victory on Tuesdaylast: There will be a Democratic majori'y of about thirtyfour on joint ballot in the Legislature. In the Senate, watch was a tie last session, we have a Democratic majority of six. Three of these being from original Wnig coon ties, and elected for three years, we can pretty safely calculate upon holding the Senate, whatever political change may otherwise happen, until 1X55. So far as wa are sble to ascertain, we will have a Democratic majority of twenty-eight in the Assembly an increase of twenty-six upon our majority of last session. It is scarcely necessary to say, that this result far exceeds oar most buoyant expectations, and that it is just five times betier than we calculated. Death of Jodge Crane. Hon. Joseph H. Crane, of Dayton, Ohio, died on Wednesday last, in the seventieth year of his age. Jodge Crane was on of the early pioneers of Day. ton. having resided there since 1805. He was one of the oldest and most respected members of the bar, and had held many important places of trust and honor. A nan of pure private and public life, he has gone to the toojb full of years and full of honors, universally res. peeted, and deeply lamented by all. Letter from Hob. John 8. Reid. 0 r readers will recollect that on a recent occasion the Madison Courier acknowledged the receipt of a club of fabacribers from Hon. John 8. Reid, whereupon ibe Sentinel denounced that gentleman and all conas free sotlers and abolitionists. So far from this true, Mr. Heid is and ever has been a trne and sound Democrat, was elected as such to the State Senate, and is of that bodv one nf its most able, upright and useful members.

Gov. Cobb's Inaugural. Wo copy tue following extract from tho fnangaral

Address of Hon. Howel Cobb, Governor of Geoigia At tli ? commencemont of the last Congress the coun try was convulsed with a bitter sectional controversy growing out of tho institution of Slavery as it exists in the Southern States. The ablest heads wero appalled with the magnitude of the danger that threatened the integrity of the Republic nnd the stoutest hearts falter, ed under the weicht of responsibility. It would be inappropriate to this occasion to review the history ol that K' ' . . . i. i 3 angry and threatening controversy nor would 1 unnecesarily refresh your memories with many of its painful - rrrrV" , drawn from its consideration, winch cannot be toouccply d..li,in l.of lli..iA ara A.nn unit ml m i in I I I 1 1 t to ic and forcibly impressed upon the public mind of the country. ,; This threatening issue was ultimately brought to a close in our National Legislature, by tbe adoption of a series of measures familiarly known to the country as the Compromise. That Compromise w:is based upon ; two important principles. The first recognised the 1 great American doctrine of the riahi of every people, in the organization of their Slate Governments, to de- ! termine for themselves whether or n.-t thev would have the institution ol Slavery as a part ol tneir social a part ol their social sys tem, a principle dear to every Republican ueart, ana one upon which rests the whole fabric of American institutions, thus repudiating that other doctrine, so justly odious to the people of the South, of the right and duty of Congress to reject a State applying for admission into the Union because her Constitution tolerated tho institution of Slavery. The other cardinal principle of the Compromise recognises thn constitutional obligation to deliver op our fugitive slaves whn they may escape into the Non-slaveholding States a duty expressly imposed by the letter of the Constitution, and the enforcement of which is esteutial to the vermanence of the Republic. Af ter the adoption of this adjustment by Congress, circumstances imposed npon the people of Georgia the important duty of pronouncing the first authoritative judgment upon it. "To our action the eyes of the whole country wete directed, and our fellow-citizens everywhere looked to our movements with anxious solicitude. It was under these circumstances thit Georgia was called upon to speak. She spoke, and her voice breathed a mingled spirit of ardent devotion to the Union, and of patriotic warning to its Northern friends. Looking to the past, and considering the rights and interests that had been involved in the contest, the dangers and difficulties which had surrounded the country, and ibe important principles upon which the final action of the Government was based, she solemnly declared her determination to stand to and abide by the Compromise as a permanent and final settlement of this dangerous and vital issue its finality, and faithful enforcement in all its parts, constituting essential elements to commend it to the favor and support of herself and her sister States of tbe South. Looking to the future, with reference to the menaces of threatened aggression which had leen so freely indulued in by a portion of the people of the North, and regard ing the adoption of those measures against which she raised her warning voice, in the fourth resolution of her Convention, as invidious blows aimed at her most vital interest, she has calmly but firmly said lothi maddened spirit of fanaticism Thus far shalt thou go, and no far ther. Her position was taken with calmness in 1"50 j it has lieen reaffirmed with delilieration in MM; and I, now renew the pledge of my hearty co-operation in maintaining if with firmness and decision. Georgia has thus placed herself upon a broad national and patriotic platform, and invites her sister States of "the Union to fand by her in the preservation of the happiest and freest Government on earth upon these great principle of right and justice. Her policy nnd principles look to the preservation of the Union, and the maintenance of the CbnsHTninn, ns one and inseparable.' Ambition can seek no higher and nobler object than the transmission to posterity of this inestimable legney: .i union of sovereign States, cemented by a Constitution dispensing equality and justice to all its members- Constitution consecrated by the wisdom of the great and good men of revolutionary memory a Union whose flag floats up on every breeze, is-honored in every land, and regarded throughout the world as tbe emblem of Constitutional freedom. The maintenance of such a Constitution and the preservation of such a Union, is worthy rf the united nd untiring efforts of patriotic men North and South, Etst and West worthy of their liest energies nnd purest devotions. Assembled here in the Capital of Georgia, around her time-honored and consecrated nliars. let ns unite in one common prayer to the great Ruler of the Universe, that this Constitution and this Union mn be perpetuated to our latest posterity." ... n. . , , ... Smith O'Brien, Mitchell. Meagher, and their ' t ' Compatriots. We are delighted to perceive that the call which has heen made on our citizens, for their friendly encouragement and support in an effort to procure the freedom of these noble but unfortunate gentlemen, has been answered in a manner at once prompt and influential, ft is but seldom, indeed, that such an airav of high talent and true respectability has been found associated ,n any j canse. The object and sptnt of the demonstration it u j proposed to make here, are similar in all rereets to r. ... ' 1 t ' n n, n -h i r1 n r.aih' ti v i. ,..n m oil, m Ihn Ql.tnt r,t Maryland nnd Massachusetts and about to be made in South Carolina. Indeed the whole people of the whole country, comprehending all shades of political and re ligious opinion, and all circles of society, seem to be ani mated with the same humane sentiment, which induces .m earnp.t1y lo wish for the speedy restoration of O'Brien and his friends to their liberties. It is no part f tn intention of our citizens to ask" that these men. 'f ."b by their misfortunes and their virtue. shall be admitted to the en)ovment of their full civil l ights in Great Britain as British subjects. The British ' I government might not be able to do this without oRendj ing its dignity, or perhaps endangering irs fufnre peace. ; We only intend inviting our government, on the princi- j I pie of the good wi'l nnd charity of nations, fo appeal to ! ment for" the liberation of the exiles. A similar a'pplicatue magnanimity and nnman'tv ot the jiniish govern- ! tion was made some few years ago, bv the President of I the United States tinder resolution of Congress, adopted j without dissent, in tbe case of the condemned Canadian. then confined for a political offence at Van Dieman's ! land. In consequence of that application these persons i were brought home, restored to their civil rights, and some j of them are now in places of trust and authority under I the Canadian government. We cannot but lelievc and hope that the British Government will feel disposed to respond in the present in- ' stance, to a request of our government in favorable and ! generous terms. Besides it is clearly the policy of that . Government, desirous as it is to enltivato amicable rela- ' tions with the United S'ate., to do so. There are er- ! tainly not less than four millions of people in the Union wno are tJeltic in their leeiings ami iitoou. i ney constitute an ardent, energetic and intellectual element in the composition of onr national character, and enter largely and most actively into the public and political sentiment of our country. We can scarcely conceive of any act on the part of the British Government, which could have a greater tendency in soothing those feelings of aspejrity which naturally exist, under present circumstances, against England and tbe English, on the part of this numerous and influential class of our citizens, than a compliance with the desires of the American people on this point. j We might say a great deal more. We could not say, ess in introducing an account oi tne preliminary meet. ing held in reference to this interesting subject. We have no doubt the demonstration now shortly to lie made in this city, will be unusually imposing and enthusiastic. Pennsylvanian. Whigarery in Trouble. l ne whig leaders, Knowing their party to tie in a minority, (ns it always has been.) are anxiously hunting for an available candidate a candidate who can cany the Whig vote, and detach a large number of Democrats from their party as they did in the election of '"Tippecanoe and Tyler too," and ' Old Hough and Ready;" but I from present appearances they are doomed to hunt in I vain. Tho elections in Pennsylvania and Ohio, have fairlv thrown Gen. Scott overboard, and they have no oilier man with a particle ol gun powder popularity, to bring out. Clav has been beat too often lo risk him as Enign leader. Webster, though powerful in intellect, has no hold upon the feelings of tbe masses no popularity among the laboring millions, rillmore, besides car- ! rying the enormous load of Ins unpopular administration, cannot carry that large class heretofore voting the Whig ticket, known as Abolition Whigs Froesoil Whigs, or, 1 as thev are sometimes railed, ' Seward or Greely I Whigs," or Barnlairner Whigs. Fillmore could prob; 3uld proba- 1 My get a larger vote for the Presidency than any other Whig, but even he could hardly hpe to cany more than five or six States against Cass, Buchanan, Houston or Douglass, and not more than two or three States asrainst rut .Masios or the Mexican Wae.''

They were all right; but this xca the best mcaT ' , . sure of all. W e hope the Courier will not object to a resolution if it is no stronger or more pointed than Gen. Lane's speech. IL7"The Brownstown Observer has an article on the j prospects and claims of tho candidates for the Prcsidcney, which concludes as follows: "Now, all the choice we have of a candidate, is this: A man who will maintain the dignity of our national character, at all risks and at all hazards; who will protect American citizens when abroad j who will not suf fer the American flag to be insulted 'ilh impunity, and who will not barter away that which justly belongs to the If . ,n.on, merely because he is apprehensive, that by ending for t,,e nation's rights be might involve it in contend war: ami lastly, one who will not remain passive while foreign encroachment is every day lessening the - . nation s strength and influence on this continent. Such a man we could heartily support for the Presidency, and should a man of this character be elected, one term of his administration would give to American citizens in foreign lands a far more reliable sccuiity for their lives and property than they now enjoy." Couviction under the New Postage Law. At the late term of the United Slates District Court, held at Iowa city. Isaac Sloan was convicted of using Posloffice Stamps a second time, and sentenced to pay fifty dollars, and three cents damages. This is the first instance of the kind under the new law. The Fillmore Meeting. We understand that the Fillmore meeting came off I according to appointment, a few days since, at Newcas- ' tie, Henry county, Indiana, and that speeches were made, ! by our old friends James Rarlden and Eli Murphev, and that patriotic i illmorc resolutions were adopted.

Such paragraphs, as arc quoted above show favor to the opinion that our people reward with the highest honors those only who have served them with distinction in the field of battle; and that, however great may hrve been the services of one who shall be brought forward for tue Presidency, unless he can boast of military honors he will not make a good candidate, or, in other n t in,ei:rent voter in the State who would not riJicufc gnch an ; jf wl to him ln this al,9lrat , , .u . l i i- . r j . . ftirm - w n 1 1 u-otiio tnpv not Ko wi i.h.-f ol onfv- to narmil .

It is to be regretted that any professing to be Democrats anil more espieially those siicerely so should le the means, in thought, word, or deed, of dis trading the Democratic family. And where disaffection has been brought about, it has been done hy a depirtiite from the original faith handed down by our Democratic fathers. Ambitious wire-workers, for selfish purposes, have pulled some factious string, to gratify either a revengeful spirit, or to try to retrieve their sinking prospects.

And when the waves of tumult, bv wise compromise are apparently hushed, the disturbers of their eonntrv's peace, urged on bv a George Thompson, or a Gerritt Smith, strike, with all their venom, at a constitutional " Fugitive Slave Law,' as the most effectual medium to gull the people and bring about another " slavery hubbub" to convulsa the Union, if a public man dare stand upon the ancient rlatform of Democracy, determined to defend it from every assault, the poisonous darts of factionists are hurled at bim thick and fast. But he stands unmoved, and triumphs. Shelby rille Volunteer. Wi-consin Election. The Whig papers have lieen claiming the result of the ; recent election in Wisconsin as a victory on their side The Milwaukie Advertiser publishes the result, accompanied bv the annexed balance sheet, which shows precisely how much this victory is worth. The Democrats have elected the following officers: Timothy Burns, Lieutenant Governor; Charles D. R,- Secretary of State: Edward H. Janson. Treasnrer of State; Experience Estabrook, Attorney I General; with a majority in the State Senate, and a : prospect of a majority in the House also. Wm. H.

Money Matters.

For the infbffnation of that portion of oar readers ini terestcd in business and commercial operations, we ore past week or two, money has been somewhat easier, but symptoms of tightening up have again commenced, and we cannot expect any diminution of fbe pressure until the close of our pork and heef pat-kin Season. Eastern Exchange still continues firm at 1. The market appears fully supplied, but there is no ovjrplns. Southern Exchange has become very scarce. Checks of Banks ...i .il .. ,.. i . l : I .... . . - - . 1 . I hills at sii-ht. and a lew days sifflit. sell readily at par. The demand for l,,'rallen Fl -m;.-h.,i l.l til J1 at ? anu si,vcr al 1 ' 2In New York no materi il change seem to have taken ' i .u i . n a i .i place in the money market. On Saturday there was less inquiry Tor business paper, Lot no further c hange in rates. There appeared to be sufficient capital for all the r"1 WIinl". of he "). exports of I specie during the week were not likely to have any inpitlo effect noon business, except in' disturbins public I confidence. The Pacific, on Saturday last, took out $900.000 in specie, including $774,500 in American gold and $25.304 sovereigns. An order for $100,000 in silver was not filled in time for the steamer. In the Express of Saturday last, we find the following general remarks on the condition of the Money market, etc.: " The position of the Foreign exchanges points to the fact, that our remaining indebtedness to Europe, in the absence of cotton bills, must be sent forward in the pre. cious metals. But it will exhibit to the European world the elasticity and strength of our domestic resources, when upward of thirty-three millions of dollars can be I,. I rant. .A ,. nf '- ' . ! ' f III I HC !

From the vast labor and the capital employed, the pro. duetion of gold will le stimulated unsil it becomes as much an article of necessary export, as any other of the staple products of the soil. " Hence, we have felt no uneasiness about the p.-esent export of the precious metals, conceiving that it will not be very long licfore we shall surfeit the Euronean money markets with the new American staple. The effect will le to cheapen the value of money abroad, and foreign cap;tal will gladly come to us for seenrit and investment. It was impossible for our financial vision to perceive orijrinally the extent and influence af this new element, and hence irregularities, expansions and contractions, grew out of if. But. when its whole bearing is correctly ascertained, who can doubt what its airimH result will be on the prosperity and greatness of the country? The movements in the stock market, constantly show the impulse arising from these speculative considerations. The threatened shipments of coin temporary affect prices, but as soon as they are made, the relound instantly carries them considerably beyond the prices of the laf depression. Esch turn upward is beyond what the last had renehed. The domes- , tie circulation was never liefore so largely infused with J sold ns at present, nnd iience the flow of coin from point I to point, always tending to this centre of exchange, is nPy. 'TV0"'1 ' 9$J supposed. The banks in tins city are stronger in specie, than they were a year since, when money ruled lower. There is every prospect of their possessing more coin at their next quarter ly statement, than at anv other vet made." The receipts of rold from California dnrinc the past month, amount to $3.000 000 including $600.000 brought by the Prometheus at New York on Saturday. Dayton Empire. Official Advertisements in Washington City. The Washington correspondent of the Journdfef Commerce says: There has been pending here a question lietween Dr Bailey, of the Era, and Mr. Fisher, of the Southern Press, on one side, and the Government on the other, as to their right to the advertising of and the printing of the Uovcrnment offices. The law provides that the nd vertisements should go to the fwo papers of the largest circulation, and tht.t the President should select a third. Therefore, the Intelligencer and the Union have the advertising under the former, and the Republic, under the latter provision. The Era and the Southern Pres both claim to have a larger circulation than the Intelligencer and Union. The Press has been ruled out under a decision lately given. The Era has fifteen thousand weeMv snbscrilwrs, and ! it has been decided by the Attorney General that , though it issues no daily paper nor no semi-woeklv piper, if is entitled to the advertising under the law having the largest circulation. But still the advertising has not lieen given to tho National Era. Dr. B-tiley savs they are holding it back with a view to change the law when Congress meets, so as to exclude him. in which case he will raise a commotion and add five thousand more to the number of his subscribers. But the Doctor has resorted to another expedient. In his lastpaper.be has an article, showing that Mr. Fillmore is entitled to the support of the South, on the ground of services, and that they ought to make him their candidate for the Piesideney. The Republic copies it to-day. Every ono af'cr reading the article nnd noticing the impression made by it on Mr. Fillmore's friends and upon the South, is satisfied that Dr. Bailey will get the printing. Difficulties in the Territories. Dflieulties of a serious character have spranjj up in the territory of New Mexico, which threatens a war between the American and Mexican races in that country, and when once fairly begun, it may lie a war of extirpation. A late account says that a parly of Americans had lieen prohibited the right ofsuff age at the late election by the authorities who were Americans. A fight ensued, and the Americans took possession of the pdls. Afterward, the Mexicans increased their force, attacked the Americans, killed one man, and made prisoners of the remainder. Another account has it that only two of the American party were entitled to vote, the others lieing non-residents. The first report censures the Governor, who is of Mexican caste, inasmuch as he did not interfere in behalf of the Americans; while the other version attributes the exeitement fo the machinations of disappointed office-seekers, gotten up with a view of ousting the Governor. Be matters as they may. the nffiirs of the territory are in a very unsettled condition. The lives of two American citizens had been taken, and apprehensions of difficulties of the most serious character were entertained. The reported troubles in Utah are confirmed. The Government provided by Congress for the Territory, is totally dissolved. The accounts of the seditions movemen's of Gov. Biigham Younj, arc fully substantiated. At the coming session. Congi ess will find it necessary to organize a new Government, the adminisfrst ion of; which will have to be entrusted to other than Mormon dignitaries. Ftneenne Gazette A Prosperous Country.

freeJ on Thursday or Fnday of tliis week Everything which ; the brilied minions of Austria and Russia could do, or say. to prejudice the American people against this illus, j I trinus exile, has been done and said. His personal de- ! i - I meanor has been represented as proud, haughty and overbearing. A celebrated American attache, paid and hired, no doubt, by the Austrians, communicated to our , Government, a fortnight since, the history of a quarrel between him and the officers of the United States fiigate j Mississippi, of which he was the guest the vessel having been detailed for the purpose of bringing Kossuth and his companions to this country. This story turns out to be a base fabrication an infamous calumny on the nations guest prompted, no doubt, by corrupt and mercenary motives. We hope the Government will ferret out the mendacious author, and if he is really an attache of the Government, let him promptly lie dismissed ; from office. Let him remain in Europe, where his heart and bis treasure is a fit subject to pander at the foot, stool of royalty. Wc want no such anti-Americans , here. The companions of Kossuth, sixty in number, arrived in the Mississippi, and a now in New York. Kossu'h was compelled to leave th American ship at Gibraltar. , for the purpose of passing through England to arranire ' some of his pecuniary affairs. He sailed from Liverpool in the Asia, which left that port on the 8th , and will reach New York in a few days. The whole history of Kossuth's embarkation, and all the incidents of the voyage, his debarkation at GibralI tar. is given in the following extract from the New York j Times, which we commend lo our readers: 4 PI-.. r iTi Am k il luvt r 1 1 1 i inns fVrtm tlia T 1 Ontrt ment to treat Kossuth not only as the uet of the nation, nut rs me lecipient oi weir nospnaiiiy aiso. r rom ine i moment he came on board at Constantinople until he let the vessel at Gibraltar, none but the most friendly ; feelings prevailed between him and every officer on ! board. He made no demand to bo landed anywhere,' nor ilid he request, or smrnegt, that the vessel should j touch at any port on the Mediterranean, for the prrp' se i of enabling him to 1 make a demonstration,' or for anv ot'ner purpose whatever. The frigHt; had positive or-j ders to touch at Smyrna and Spezzia. At both those places numbers of ibe inhabit tnts came to s-e Kossuth. ami at both he was greeted with applause. But he did I nothing but return his thanks for these demonstrations I - - . . m mm . i '.ir.l S . of respect, and said nothing which conld possibly be tortu red into an attempt to stir up disaffection. " Ho sugcested to Cant. Long that he should leave the vessel at Marseilles, cross France with his family to 1 England, and. leaving his children there, meet the Miss.ss.pp. at MWWatar.

The people of Marseilles were greatly mortified at this refusal, and made spontaneous demonstrations ol their respect for Kossuth and their indignation at the treatment he had received. The incident created a good deal of excitement, nnd Capt. Long expressed, fo some of his own officers, a hope, that nothing might be done which should compromise the American flag Kosvivh herd of this remark, and immediately expressed toe greatest anxiety lest the flag should lie involved, or the feelings of the officers of the ship wounded, by nnvthirg that nneht take plsce. He did nothing to incie-.s.- but all he could to allay, the exeiten ent. Capt. Leg did not (as it has been asserted he did) remonstrate' with him against writing his letter to the people of Marseilles, nor was there the least dispute or difference between them on this or any other occasion. The statements that have been made upoi this point, and which have rcee'Ved wide credence hep , are utterly untrue. ' Nor is it true that Kossuth ' deserted ' the vessel at j Gibraltar Capt. Long offered to remain there until his I return from England coinciding with him entirely as to the propriety and necessity of his going thither, anxious to do evervming ne couiu to aid mm. ami uesirous. at ; the same time, of bringing him to the United States. But on consultation it was deemed advisable to pursue a different course ; anil that course was taken bv mutual ariangement. So far from there being the slightest illfeeling between them. Kossuth took leave of Capf . Long and of all the officers and crew of the Misrissippi. with the utmost warmth of feeling declaring to caeh his re. gret at being obliged to leave, and expressing the hope of soon meeting them again npon the hsppv shores o' the United States. Madame Kosnth and their children, as well as Kossuth himself, were affected ti tears at the separation. Kossuth has given, m a letter to the Mayor of this eity, which we publish this morning, a e'ear and abundantly satisfactory statement of the motives by which he was governed. "Kossuth, before leaving the vessel, gave to Capt. Lonjj a letter expressing his profound respect for him and all his brother officers, and thanking the.n most cordially for the many acts of kindness be bail received. This letter, of course, will be forwarded to the Nivy Department. The officers of the Mississippi express the ntmost re. spect for Kossuth, and a profound estimate of his nobleness of character and deportment. Nothing, they unite in asserting, could have lieen more unassuming, more respectful, or more proper in everv way, than his demeanor throughout the vovage.

Giddings on Church Matters. Hon. J. R. Giddings. in a letter recently addressed to the Jefferson (Ohio) Democrat, thus defines bis position, as regards his stan'Jffrg fn tho Church.
