He suggested a proposition which commences thus: "That the United States, feeling the need of becoming a Power in the world, will no longer be satisfied with the isolation becoming only in a ttirdl rate nation." fcc. This is anything but complimentary to the country that has treated him with so much kindness, and contrast* very strongly with the greatness and power he attributed to the United States in his first speeches.
The course pursued by Kossuth has been viewed with great disapprobation, very much to the injury of his cause, and himself, who, if he had acted differently, Would depart from oar shores with more glory, and brighter prospects for Hungary, than we apprehend he will bear away with him as the result of his recent efforts in this country.
It is quite unfortunate for us that we pub lished an article last week referring to the Covington Friend, ft has had the effect of destroying the gentleman of the Friend's opinion of our qualification for office. He was just on the point of recommending us, when our unlucky comments worked our ruin, for the endorsement of the Editor of the Friend would have been, of course, all potent in Vigo, ©specially among the Democracy. We were not aware that he had such good intentions towards us, but it is too late to talk about it now. We will try and get over it the best way we can, and we hope Mr. Turman will think better of us when he realizes the soothing influence of those two pitchers of "new butter-milk" the ladies sent hitn.
The negroes who seek refuge in Canada* do not find everything as favorable aa they Had supposed.

When Kossuth came to this country he was excaedingiy "humble," even more so than Uriah Heep, but being led astray by indiscreet speeches and the huzzas of a portion of our'people, be began gradually to divest himself of his humility and to assume a tone more bold and haughty. Through the intervention of our government he wasbro't to our shores to enjoy the blessings of liberty, and it was net expected that he would interfere in any wa with our internal affairs. To our great surprise he attacked our system of government and insisted for months that our policy Was wrong. Did any one dream of such a course when the government interceded for his release from confinement in Turkey, and sent a national vessel to bring him to the United States! We presume not. Hence we were not prepared to see the humble exile become a dictator. After travelling like a prince through the country laboring to subvert the policy of our Government, he returned to New York and attended a political meeting of the German citizens. He addressed them in the German language, the direct object of his speech being to influence the German citizens to side with the Democratic party. He intimated that they might unite with a third party or refrain from voting, and thereby prevent a choice by the two great political parties of the country, and hrow the election into Congress, meanwhile, exercising such a constitutional influence in the choice of Representatives 4a Congress that the supporters of the doctrine of intervention there may stand in a solid phalanx *o control the policy of the Government We imagine the Germans in the country will do their own thinking in political matters and will attach themselves to whichever party they see proper without advice from «ny quarter.
The only infamous article we have seen in any paper, in reference to Henry Clay, is the following from the Boston Common wealth, the organ of the Frea Soilers: "No incense can be burnt upon the altar of his memory by a single sieoere lover of truth and the right not a festoon of all the sable drapery that hangs shrouding his misdeeds, can be removed oy the hands of those who reverence what is pure. Over, a fair landscape to their eyes, is cast a cloud of sombre blackness and there it will remain for ever!"
Such a paragraph is too execrable to come from any other source than one which advocates the shedding of blood in resisting the laws of the land.
At a celebration of the Tammany Society at Tammany Hall, New York, on the 5th, the Democracy were taken all aback by Whig speech from Col, Crockett, of Tennessee. In response to a toast he avowed himself a Whig and remarked that of course he could not be expected to make a Democratic speech. He then proceeded with regular Whig speech in which he said some things that did not set very well with his hearers. A Whig speech in Tammany Hall, at a Democratic gathering, has not happened before in the memory of the "oldest inhabitant"
STATUE TO HENRY CLAY.—A correspondent of the National Intelligencer suggests movement in favor of the erection of statue of HEHRY CLAY at Washington, where he spent the greater portion of his life in the discharge of public duties, where his greatest achievements were accomplished, and where was the^Bcene of his triumphant death. The cost of the equestrian statue to GEN. JACKSON to be erected at Washington will be but $12,000, and it is thought that a similar sum can be easily raised there for a statue to CLAY, such as Pitt's statue in Lon don.
FOR CONGRESS.—In another column will be found a call of Many Whigs upon C. W. BARBOUR Esq to consent to run for Congress. It is probably time that something should be done in the way of selecting a Whig candidate for Congress ID this district. We have heard several names mentioned—but without expressing any preference as to persons, haw at present, only to euugest, that a proper selection, such as may secure harmony of action, and mutual good feeling in the party, may in all probability be calculated upon, as resulting in the election of a Whig as a representative in Congress from this district.
A private dispatch to the Mo. Republican, dated Baltimore, 9th, says: "We learn from New York, that Mr. WEBSTER told Mr. ExRecorder TALLMADGE yesterday, that he could not see what good could result from further presenting his name to the'eountry. There was nothing left but to rally in support of the candidates nominated by the whig Convention at Baltimore. The whigs are in admirable spirits. SCOTT and GRAHAM stock is far above par.
The Hon. T. M. T. McKennan died last week athis residence in Washington, Pennsylvania.

An aged man was found asleep in the street, at Norfolk, Va., a few nights ago, and was conducted to the station house, where the old gentleman stated that his name was Jss.

JUDGE COWARD —I have just seen a card of Mr. Earnheart in your paper of the 14th inst He says the statement of "several stockholders" is false. Will he be good enough to tell us in what paper the report of <his Company> was published. The printing of a statement is not a <publishing>. We wish to see how far our statement is false. It makes no difference to the stochholders whether the affairs of his company are printed or written, they are not published when they lay under his lock and key. Mr. Earnheart thinks our card was published to injure his line. Who will it injure? Certainly not the stockholders they are gone past injury.
There is either wretched management of this line, or else a shameful swindling in it. ONE OF THE SEVERAL STOCKHOLDERS. ~~~~~~~

JUDGE CONARD:—In reply to the card of "A stockholder" in Saturday's paper, I would say that the Receipts and Expenditures of this Line have been regularly printed in the shape of a Balance sheet for distribution to the offices. They have also been published in the papers at Crawfordsville, that point being the residence of the President and Superintendent.
Since the organization of the Line there has been a gradual increase of Receipts over Expenditures which surely is some evidence that it will eventually pay.
The officers of the company are, <President>—S. C. Wilson, Crawfordsville; <Superintendent>— R. E. Bryant, Indianapolis; <Executive Committee>—J. M. Ray, S. V, B. Noel and C. Fletcher, Indianapolis.
These are men above suspicion. Mr. R. E. Bryant, the Superintendent, has been connected with the Line since its organiza-
tion.
He is active and efficient in the discharge of his duties, and for the place, no better man could have been selected.
The Line never worked better than it does at this time, nor were the Company's prospects ever brighter.

Our Relations with Mcxico. Tho President of tho United States has transmitted to Congress a Report of the Secretary of State on the subject of the disorders on the Rio Grande frontier, which he reccommends as the ba sis of legislation. It states that disorders and outrages are occurring on the borders between the United States and Mexico, not coDfined to tho inhabitants on either side. Persons are violently seized and transported across the line and there seems to be absolute need of measures for the preservation of the peace of the neighborhood. The Secretary recommends the employment of military force. For that purpose he advises the revival of the act of the 10th of March, 1838, or a part of it. What is thus recommended is a clear duty of 'Government the. first and highest of whose obligations is to protect the citizen, and preserve friendship and peace with other powers. The strong hand of power is wanted to put down such scenes of disorder and insubordinntion in the outset for the want of which many an expensive war has been kindled. This is not the worst of it. These violences are among the artifices of designing men to bring on a state of hostilities, which they covet. To promote private speculations to gratify ambition to obtain military promotion to plunder to add to sectional strength, or party plans and for various similar, but Corrupt reasons, troubles on our bprdors may bo aggravated, and directly pro moted by those, or the emissaries of those who hope to gain bv their occur* rence.

Attack upon aa American Charge i'A.f« fairs. A letter in the Baltimore American. dated Caracas. June 18, says:
On the night of the 23d of MatfV at eleven o'clock, Mr. Steele.U. S. Charge, was surprised by the entrance into his house by a number of banditti,, He had not yet retired, and on a noise bein£ made by a female servant in the house, he ran down into the Court-yard and was soon surrounded by the men, each of whom had a dagger or a pistol with him. Mr. Steele4 was robbed of his watch during the melee, and was slightly wounded. Mrs. Steele, on hearing the clash of weapons below stairs,ran to the balcony which overlooked the street, and aroused some neighbors, who prevented further injury and robbery.
Caracas was a liulo startled from its wonted propriety by a personal rencontre between Mr Michelena, lately appointed Venezuelan Minister to Rome, and Baron de Veimare, the French Charge in Caracas. The ufFair took place in the house of the latter. Mr. Michelana called to say "farewell" to the Baron, when the latter commenced some very severe remarks with reference to Mr. Michelena's Government, reflectng severely on the President and other officials words grew warmer, and finally his ftxccllency the French Minis »er actually kicked the Minister to Rome and Madrid and called his ser ants to put him out of his House. The offair of course led to a challenge, and the parties were to leave the couhtry for the Tortugas islands, there to determine whether the Biron should carry his di plomacy so far as to kick foreign Ministers out or doors.

Gen. Scott Forty Years Ago. I send you an extract from Niles' Register, giving a short narration of the impression made upon the public by Get). Scott nearly forty years ago, when only twenty-eight years of age. II must be an extraordinary man, to have been so highly spoken of at that time, when every one and every thing was absorbed in one topic—the war with England: From Niles' .Weekly Register, August 27,1814.
MAJOR-GENERAL W. SCOTT.— This gallant soldier, who has not yet attained his thirtieth year, is a native of Dinwiddie county. Va. In that State he received his education, and its last polish at the college of William and Mary.— With skill, diligence, perseverance and unrivalled eloquence he practiced the law for a short time in the adjacent counties. But his great soul aspired ot deeds of arms?" lie entered in the service of his country in 1808, with the commission of light artillery, and in a I short time joined the southern army under Gen. Wiikinson. .His arrest, the charges against him, and his unparalleled defence on that occasion, have long since been before the public. This noble defence convinced the cabinet at Washington and the world at large, that he was the scholar, the politician and the soldier. Since then, no man has ascended the military ladder with more resplendent rapidity than has Winfield Scott—too more rounds, and he will have topped the climax of military

Glowing with friendship, "veneration and pride for this brave soilder, a number of citizens of Petersburg, Va., as we are informed have resolved to have made an elegant sword, with appropriate device,to be presented" to the hero of Chippewa, and Bridgewater. In his hands we are confident that it never will be drawn but in defiancc of his country's rights, and never tarnished but by the blood of our foe.

SXIFMINO FACT.—In 1848, the tTnited States Treasury received in revenue from iron only $341,920 more than in 1845, while two men in Pennsylvania lost in rolling mills, by the Tariff of 1846,9355.000. if those two men had paid out ot their own pockets the whole increase of revenue, they would have been gainers to the amount of 14,080.— The loss of these two men bears a small proportion to the loss of the whole.
