Tbe wager was readily accepted. Tbe stakes were placed in Sam's bands. Elated with tbe idea of winning back his two tens, and making an

It was now nearly dark, but the oid hunter boast' ed of being able to shoot a bat on tbe wing by starlight, and without any hesitation, he drew a dear sight on old Roan's head.

A minute later. Drake was driving through the grove, the most enraged, the most deeperate of men. His rifle, innocent victim of biaife, lay with broken stock oo the bottom of the wagon. Sam Barston was to much friffhtened to laugh. Meanwhile, the gratified Colonel was rolling on the ground convuWed with mirth, and did Roan tfks standing undisturbed under the trees.

VVhen Drake reached heme, his two sons dtscov ered his ill-humor and the mutilated condition of the rifle stnek, ha*t*ned to arouse his spirits with piece of news, which they were sure would make him dance for joy.

'It is a joke! But if ever you tell of it—or if you do, Sam Barston—I'll skin you alive! By the Lord Harry, boys, I've been shooting at that dead horse half an hour at ten dollar* a shot!'

At that moment, Sam fell into the gutter^- Jed dragged him out insensible. Sam Imd laughed himself almost to death.

Letter from X^for Downing.

Major Jack Downing to Governor Louis Kossuth.

DOWSTSOVTIU. AWAY DOW?T EASF'

In the State of Maine, December $S. 1851 DEAR GOVERNOR—1 hope you wont feel flighted faeouuse 1 haint writ to you afore. The truth is, I havn't had no time. I've been so busy for about a month past, I couldn't get time to write no how. Uncle Joshua and I have been hard to work all the lime, day and night, reading your speeches and the dtiins of the meetitis in Now York and England.— We begun a week or two before you got to York, and have been at it ever sinco^. We couimoidy get up and go at it before breakfast, and take turns reading, and keep It up till bed time that is till nine o'clock in the evening for that's the tinge we Downingville folks go to bed. So I hope you wont feel rlightod because I havn't found time to tfriteto you afore now, and I hopn you havn't felt loneuome sinoe you've been iu York. I see you are on the way to Philadelphia, and Baltimore, and Washing* ton, and if you should feel ioaesnme in them places, jest turn about and trome down here to Downingsvilie, and well try to cheer you up and make you feel at home. 1 say this because I have took a great liking to you, and 1 always mean what 1 say. I've took a greater liking to you than any body else, since I loat my doar oid friend General Jackson. May be it is because you are so much like him. Pact, in some things, it seems to me you are jest like him. Old Hickory was the man who "took the responsibility" when be wanted to do any thing*, and see you are jest so you ain't afraid to take the responsibility and what's better still, you are trying to encourage other folks to take the responsibility tu. Old Hickory was a great hand to make principle* and then fight Vmlhrou jh. And there agin 1 think you area great deal like him. And by the way, 1 b«gin to feel quit a liking for President Bonaparte of France, for 1 see htt'a took the responsibility at last, and been making princi pies and fighting of 'em through. There's some smiles folks in the world yet and it's well there is. for it's pretty likely there'll be use

koor*kt.

tiH next summef ant! not go beck to Husgery.— We shall have to make anew President next sentmer, and you /night get in to be Pre*id«t jest as easy as a cat could lick her ear. and a President you knos? is higher than tbe Governor. Hed'nt you better take it! I know you ean get it if you'll ontv say tbe word. Our parties In this tsountry have been so broke to piecet and mixed up lately, iit wrtiody oould ttdl wbo to pitch upon for Prerident and we've been a good Mil worried for fear we should'at make out to chootse any Pt»sidettt at ail oex) suoitaer. And aiot «tre but wbat you*v« got here jest in the nick of time to get us out of this scrape. For if you II only stand a* vttndidaie you'll go in all better, never knew it tstlfl, erbett tbe iMwrdw got up *0 strong a* tbey have been since yuii got to YorkC*

You aeed^M be .amSOws'i anjrtblSitflai fte way agaiturt your being President. To be sure, there some little rules laid doivu in tbe Constitution, but that can be m«nag«i well efteegh ll only wants somebody to uke the reepon^bflity.

Of course when say this I mean the the old bible Dan and Beer Sheeba there is another Dan io this country, thai If you should happen to run-a-fou! of don't know but the case might be different. *,

Now it seems io me you had better go for Ike Presidency instead of going back to Hungary^ a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush any how and this country ii fairly under your thumb now but Hungary Is still under the paw of the Russian Bear. So that although you are the

In the next place you say you want 'something else,* which as near as I can find out by the pa pers. means money-matters, and food and raiment and clothe*, and a few gum, and tbe like of that, because you are going back to have another tussel with Austria and Russia. Agreed to that, too.— You shall nave all you want. Just hold your has ket. and we'll fill it. if it's a dozen times a day. I see money is beginning to pour in upon yoa in a thousand little streams, and some pretty large riv ers, and it won't be long before you have a whole mintpfit'besides guns and knapsacks and cartridge) boxes." When I read some of your speeches to our folks about your poor, down-trodden country it made the tears come, I tell ye. Cousin Nsbby said she would knit stockings all winter and send 'em over to your soger?, so they shouldn't have to jjo barefoot as ours did in the Revolution. Aunt \eziah said, them two great cheeses, that she wns going to buy a silk gown with. She would sell for money, and send it to the Kossuth fund in New York. Uncle Joshua said that he would sell his three year old steer, for he could do all his plowirig next summer with his old oxen, and send the money to you. Cousin Sargent Joel sot in a deep* study and at last says he. ?i don't know as I've got anything to send but a little pieze «f remanstrance,' and he pointed to his old rifle that hung against the wall says he. 'I send that over to Hungary ts shoot the oid Russian Bear if he comes growling around again.' And then he sot thinking & minute longer, and he jumped up and abut bis fiat together, and says he 'no 1 won't send it, J7/ go and carry it myself'

Governor

Hungary, it is likely enough there would fee a pesky hard scratch before you could govern it, if you went back. But I see some of the papers say you

aint

Governor of Hungary now, although they

don't deny but what you was once. 1 wish tb«m paper* had better manners they might jest as well say that aiot Major now, because 1 aint all the time riding a hoss-back at the regiment of sogers. N'o, no, that wont do it's nonsense, and impudence tu. The rules in this country Is once a Major always a Msjor and once a Govornor always a Governor. A man's title belongs to him as rouob as his name doe*. My Major belong* to me and your Governor belongs to you, and nobody hasnt any right to take it away Crom us any more than he has to upset a nation. Because it's a principle and founded on everlasting justice therefore it is not the law of this country but it is true and just law of nations and our Government and our country not otrfy ought to respect it themselves, but to

make others respect it. Well, now, dear Governor, If you shouldn't think it best to accept my offer about the Presidenoy. and should rather go book and rua your chance in Hungary the next question is

see what can

be done for you on that score. You say. you want that we, that is. all America and the Univer sal Yankee nation, should say you have afair righ to be called Governor of Hungary^ (Agreed I've already proved that you have the right, and shall have as you live, there wont be any more trouble on that score.

?Tbe

question is disposed of forever.

I hope. V'-' (n the next place, you want us to say that Hun gary got her inpependence of Austria fairly and ought to have, it. Agreed to that too. We say it all weathers. Hungary fit out like a map and ought to be free forever aud a thousand years aAerwards And the traitor Goger out to have his neck stretched and the Russian bear ought to have his toe na»ls cut off and his nose muzzled, so that he caulc/' scratch or bite anybody again nor interfere in 0^er folks domestic affairs.

So you see dear govern

or. there isn't much danger but what you'll get 'something else!* In the next place, when you come to the scratch, you want our Government, and this whole nation to hold tbe Russian Bear back and not let him meddle, while Hungary and Austria has a fair tussle. And vou want wo should give him fair warning beforehand. and tell him he sbant meddle, no how and if we do, you think hell mind us. Maybe he wontd and on ay be be wouldn't and if be wouldn't what then! Tbao you want u»to go right at him, and fight htm down, and

make

him mind, because it's

right and just and now we've got to be a great and powerful nations, it is our duty to look around and take eare of the world, and make folks do right every where.

W*M. now, dear Governor, as to that I don't know but we ought to stop and think about it 4 little. In the first place, we have arule jtere that 'all just government derives its power* from the consent of the governed.' So, ir we've got to look round and govern rite world *h ad i»*t we ought to get w* ought to get tbe world's consent firstf And as you want u* to take hold of Russia first, I suppose she is the first one we ought to Ask tbe consent of. And if Ute Russian will consent that we shall bold him back well bold him buck and tun tbe risk oftt.

And fn tbe next place, dear Governor, It might be Very well for us to take care of tbe world. «nd carry out the laws of n«»oo*»and make everybody

do ri^it ev«ry wberu, if tbere wasn't uo danger in our getting more than car bands full. But only look at it. Suppose when Hungair begins her tussle, the Russian should show her teeti) and grab hold of Then tnt should have to cead wcr and skips to help drive him baok. Him

Poland should Mart up and want u» be free

—and she baa a* Moody aright to be free as any nation in tbe world-—then we must send an army to take oare of Poland, for tbe Russians would fkgtot most awfully there. And tbere^i FrsAoe too. You «ey *tbe govemeaeut df Imee. is on the side of the oppressors, and tha nation is ooe of tbe oppressed nations.' Then of course, be our next duty to send an sraay and put dow^ the Goverament of France, and ler the watro® go free."~ And tbeu, besides the East Indies and C%ttsu, iwd CffMim, and tots of ixher placeai that tbe jpo|l pby tdls ^KMI.there'** gokl WMMSy tkinfe tlfeat we sk««M kwri to Jock ilWr nsiSrot et kotMK' Vf bctt to upeet Cuh*, w« nmst s«ixl os» and

X9SSOTTS SPEECH?*: .. \YASQLN6TOH. JAX. 12, 1851.

"'The Congressional Banquet tct &oseuih came off to-night, at th»National Hotel .rpAbout three handrfrd persons wer» present. 1

Mr. Sing offered the following toast: •jflsafBjr iepnwmted la the penw *f Mrlnawd B«Mt—Qnitf irwred hermlf worthy t* bo free by llflfe virIne and valor of her aoaa,

law of antioaa, aaii tha (iie-

l«t«a of jaatica, alike 4emand that »h« shall hav« fair pt»T ta her straggle for iwfrpeixteMM.** (&Utuudastie dweHag.) Tarthe above toast'Kossuth responded as follows:

Si*-—As once Cyness. the Gpirote, stood among the Senator# of Rome, who. with an earnest word of self-conscious majesty, controlled the condition of the world, and arrested mighty kings in their ambitious inarch, thus, full of admiration and of reverence. I stand before you. Legi&latnre of the new capitol—that glorious hall of your collective majesty. The capitol of old yet stands, but the spirit has departed from it and come over to yours, purified by air of liberty. The old stands, a mournful monument.of the fragility of human things—yours a sanctuary of eternal rights. The old, beamed

with the red lustre of conquest, now darkened by oppression's gloomy night—yours bcaa«s with freedom's bright ray. The old absorbed the world by its own centralized glory—yours protects your own nation against absorption even by itself.' The old was awful with irrestricted power—yours is glorious with having restricted it. At the view of the old nations trembled—at the view of yours humanity hopes. To the bld^mbfortune was only introduced with fettered hands to kneel at the triumphant conqueror's heels—to yours, the triumph of introduction is granted to unfortunate exiles, invited to the honor of a seat, and where kings and

sars never are hailed for their powers, utight and wealth there the persecuted chief of a down-trod-den nation is welcomed as jour great Republic's guest, precisely because he is persecuted, helpless and poor, fn the old, the terrible vevictis was the rule—in yours, protection to the oppressed, malediction to ambitious oppressors, and oonsolatiou to tho vanquished in a jnst cause. And while out of the old a conquered world was ruled, you in yours provide for the common confederative interests of a territory larger than the conquered world of the old. There sat men boasting their will to be sovereign of the world—here sit men whose glory is to acknowledge the laws of nature and of nature's God, and to do what their sovereign, the people wills. Sir, there is hisiory in the^e parallels— History of pa«t ages, and history of future centuries may be Often recorded in few words. The small particulars to which the passion of living men. clings with forvent zeal, as if the fragile fingers of men could arrest the rotation of destiny's wheel~these particulars die away. It is the issue that makes history and that iss* is always logical.^ There is a necessity of consequences wherever the necessity of position exists. Principles are the Alpha—they must finish with 0:nega and they will. Thus history may be tolu often in few words. Before yet the heroic struggles of Greece fin»t engaged your country's sympathy for the fate of Freedom iu Europe—then so far distant, now so near— Chateaubriand happened to be in Athens, afid he heard from a minaret raised upon Propylemus ruins, a Turkish priest, in Arabic language announcing the lapse of hours to the Christians of Mlnervastown. What immense history in tha small fiot of a Turkish Imam crying out, "Pray, man, the hour is running fast aud the judgment draws near!" Sir, there is equally a history of future ages writ-1 ten in the honor bestowed by you to my humble self. Tha first Governor of independent Hungary, driven from his native 1 ami by Russian violence, an exile on Turkish soil, protected by tho Mahom* medan Sultan ag-iinst the blood-thirst of Christian tyrants, cast back a prisoner to far Asia by diplomacy, rescued from his Asiatic prison hy America, crossing the Atlantic, charged with the hopes of Europe's oppressed nations* pleading, a poor exile, before the people of litis great Republic, his downtrodden country's wrongs, and its intimate connection with the fate of the European continent, ahd with the boldness of a just cause, claiming the prin* oiple* of th* Christian religion to be raised to a law of nations .and to see not only the boldness of the poor exile forgiven, but to see him consoled by the sympathy of millions, encouraged by individuals associations, rtteetings, cities and States, supported by operative aid, and greeted by Congress and by the government, as the nation'a guest, honored out of generosity, with that honor which only one man before him received—and that man received them out of gratitude—with honors suob as no potentate ever can receive, and this banquet here, and tbe toast which 1 have to thank for oh, indeed, air, there ia a history of future ages ,in all these facts Sir, though I have the noble pride of nty principle and though 1 have the inspiration of a just cause, still have also the consciounesss of my personal humilityi 'Never wilt I forget what is due from me to the sovereign soarce of my pubUo capaoity^— This I owe to my nation's dignity, and therefore respectfully thanking this highly distinguished assembly in my country's name, 1 have the boldness to ssy that Hungary well deserves your spmpsthy -—that Hungary has a claim to protection, because it has a claim to justice. But as to. myself, permit tue humbly to express that I am well awaro not to have in ail these honors any persona! share. Nay, I know that even that which might seena to he personal in your toast, is only an acknowledgment ol an historrcal fact- very in*tfactively connected with principle valuable to every republican bead in tbe United States of America. Sir, you were pleased to mention iu your toast, that 1 em unconquered by misfortune and unseduced by ambition Now it i« a providential fact, that misfortune has the privilege to ennoWeman'smind and to strength en man'* character. There is a sort of natural instinct of human dignity in the heart of man, which steels hi* very nerves not to bend beneath the he* vy blows of a great adversity. Tbe palm tree grows best ben«*dt poudeiwss weight—even to tslbe character of man. IWeis no merit iu felt is a law of psychology. Tit* potty pangs of small daily cum bave ofWn bent tbe character of mm but great misfortunes seldom.
