ERROR.—Our

compositor, in the list of
delegates from Harrison township, to the Whig Convention at Indianapolis, in our our last paper, omitted, unintentionally, the names of R. W. Thompson and R. N. Hudson, in said list. These gentlemen were appointed delegates by the meeting on the 3d ult., and should have been so reported and published in the list, in the Express of last week.

(£7- Sec the President's reply to M. Kossuth, published in another place. It is multum in parvo—wisdom in a nutshell, and clearly indicates that there will be no departure from the wise policy which has made us one of the iirst nations of the earth. Kossuth ha3 our sincerest wish for all that we can give him, saving and excepting any innovation upon the well matured and settled policy of these United States, which we confess we love better than any other country we ever saw, or read of, to which a man might travel by locomotive, steamboat, or on horseback.
The Washington Telegraph says, the President's reply was all that could be desired. It was cordial, sympathetic, and, above all, honest. It held out no delusive hopes of gifts or subsidies —of fleets or armies. It was not intended to cheat a distinguished stranger into expectations destined never to be realized. It assured him of personal friendship and national hospitality, but it gave no countenance to what Mr. Fillmore and every other public man knows to be a cruel and scandalous delusion.

was born at Monok,
Zemplin County, in the northern part of Hungary, on the 2?th of April 1806 His mother is yet living, a remarkable woman, from whom it appears Kossuth in herited his talents. While in prison at Buda, Theresa Mezlenvi, the daughter of a nobleman, corresponded with him and sent him books, and soon after his liberation, they were married, in 1841. Kossuth, his wife, and his three children are now in this country, the Nation's guests.

THE K088VTS ifcEETUTO.
The meeting held at the court-house,on Saturday night last, was well attended. The weather was inclement, and no ladies turned oat, as was hoped, bat all went off well. The resolutions, not too much nor too little, will be found in another place. The principal speech on the occasion, was from Col. Thompson, the chairman of the committee, who reported the preamble and resolutions. It elicited considerable applause, so also did others who followed.
So far as concerned ourselves, as a motion, the speeches on this occasion were in the right spirit, with, perhaps, one exception. The resolutions adopted met the feelings of the meeting, and but few present wished to go further, though they listened to a short speech which plainly indicated that the speaker, at least, was willing to lay aside the settled policy of this country, protest against Russian interference in Hungarian affairs, and fight her in her own frozen wilds, if found to be actually necessary. This would be apiece of fatuity or insanity, upon which the President, his Cabinet, and the present Congress have given the country to understand that they need have no apprehensions, whatever. Upon this subject there is scarcely a mustard seed of Quixotism at Washington city. If our government under Washington in 1789, and our people who felt under the greatest obligations to France for former help, could and did then resist the urgent and plausible appeals of Citizen Genet, the French ambassador, for our interference in European wars at that time^ we can scarcely believe that at the present time we should be less prudent. yon-intervention was the doctrine then it is good now, and we can conceive of no case occurring in Europe, in which it ought to be laid aside. We do not care particularly about insulting any of the crowned heads of the Old World we do care, however, about getting into a useless foreign war, from which nothing could be gained to our people except suffering and bloodshed, high taxes and a national debt that would ever hang about our necks like a millstone. Under a disregarded protest, we would have to fight, or loose our national dignity and honor, and be disgraced before the balance of the world. So we think.
The times in Europe are stormy—portentous. The Hon. Rufus Choate, in a late speech in Boston, referring to the aspect of the political horizon in that country, said "It has seemed to me as if the prerogatives of crowns, and the rights of men, and the hoarded-up resentments and revenges of a thousand years, were about to unsheath the sword for a conflict, in which blood shall flow, as in the Apocalyptic vision, to the bridles of the horses, and in which a whole age of men shall pass away—-in which the bell of time shall sound out another hour—in which society itself shall be tried by fire and steel— whether it is of nature and of nature's God,or not!"
We can judge as well of the progress of affairs in Europe, if we should happen not to be one of the belligerent parties.
0£r During the discussion in the House of Representatives recently, to appoint a committee to introduce M. Kossuth, a proposition was made by Mr. Yates, approving the proposition of intervention in the affairs of Europe and, on taking the vote, there was but one yea. In the course of the discussion, Judge Bayly, of Va., took occasion to state, that he had taken some pains to ascertain the opinions of Senators and Representatives, and he deliberately declared, that there were not twenty members in the two Houses of Congress in favor of M. Kossuth's propositions and he expressed the opinion that they would not be sanctioned by one thousand men of substance and reflection between Washington and the Rio Grande.
03- A writer in the State Journal of the 8th inst., proposes the name of Wm. K. Edwards, of Vigo, as a proper candidate for the place of Lieutenant Governor on the part of the whigs. The writer says: "Mr. E. is well-known, is experienced in legislation, is a true-blue whig, is an excellent presiding officer, and is a good stump speaker. If nominated, the whigs of Central Indiana will not be slow in his support."
We believe D. P. Holloway, of Wayne, is gaining ground in his chances for the whig nomination for Governor. Let it be Wavne and Vigo, two of the strongest whig counties in the State.

Mr. Editor-: During the past week we have had further news from Europe, by the Baltic, at this port, on Tuesday evening and by the Canada, at Boston, on Sunday. The most successful result which Louis could have desired, has crowned his last enterprise, and he appears to have become firmly seated on the throne of his uncle. Paris is tranquil, and presents its usual appearance of gaiety but in. the provinces there is less contentment. Four more of the Departments have been placed under martial iaw, and several Legions of the National Guard have been disarmed and disbanded for manifestations of disaffection. The press has opened its guns on the President, and he, in turn, has opened his batteries on the press, silenced seventy-three of them. What is most singular, and yet unexplained, is the course of the stock market, in Paris. It would naturally be expected that, in view of the troubles, public securities would decline on the contrary they have continued to improve, daily, from the overthrow of the Constitution. On the 1st inst., they were 91, and on the id, 89,70, while on the 6 th, they had reached ninetysix. The voting has already commenced, and if the vote of the army is to form any criterion of the vote of the people, Louis will be triumphantly sustained. As far as heard from, the vote of the army is 65,000 for the President, and 3,500 against him. Large numbers of Red Republicans are leaving France. Thiers has also fled, and Girardin, editor of La Presse, is about to emigrate to the United States. By a movement among the Legitimists, we are enabled to judge of the sentiments entertained by other nations on French affairs. The Compte de Chambord, Henri V., had sought an interview with Prince Schwartzenberg, at Vienna, and was informed that Louis Napoleon would receive the countenance of all the monarchical cabinets.— In Paris the markets are firm. In London there appears to have been less confidence, and stocks of all kinds had fallen, buthad since rallied and very nearly reached their former rates. American stocks are more in demand, but without change of rates. Flour is quiet at a decline of 6d. per barrel'. Wheat has declined Id. per 70 lbs. Corn is scarce, and in demand at a slight advance. Cotton is dull. Beef remains without improvement. Pork is scarce with no signs of an advance. Xard lias advanced 2s. p?,r cwt- Cheese is dull at a decline of Is. to 2s. per cwt.
On Thursday morning, we were astounded by intelligence of the destruction of the Capitol by fire and in every quarter, considerable excitement was visible. At noon, however, the telegraph modified the report, yet the loss of the Library alone is bad enough. The library of Mr. Jefferson, which formed the nucleus of this magnificent collection, had been collected by that eminent man, when in Europe, at a great expense, and many of the books were enriched with notes in his own hand writing. The additions which had been made to this collection, have been great and valuable and the number of volumes lost exceed 35,000, the loss, as nearly as can be estimated, is not less than $250,000.
We have important news from Mexico. A British fleet has appeared before Vera Cruz, and it is said the object of its visit is to enforce the payment of Mexican Bonds. In the valley of the Rio Grande, the insurrection, under Gen. Caravajal, has broken out again. The insurgents had attacked the Mexican forces, under General Janrequin, who occupied the town of Ceral vo, and after two days hard fighting, had taken almost the entire town, together with all the provisions, ammunition, kc., belonging to the Mexicans. His loss was 10 killed, the Mexican's was much greater, but not fully known.
The severe illness of Mr. Clay, causes considerable anxiety. His disease is bronchitis, and he appears to be gradually wasting away. He has expressed his intention to take his seat and vote whenever any question of importance comes before the Senate.
On Saturday morning, a very destructive fire broke out in the Bowery, near Chatham square, and before it was subdued, sixteen stores and property to the amount of $100,000 to $150,000 was destroyed. Being retail stores, with extra stocks laid in for the holidays, the loss will be very severely felt by their occupants.
Politically, there is a slight improvement in the market, with increased activitv. The recent visit of Mr. Douglas to this city, and his initiation into the mysteries of the Tammany Society, appears to have aroused the ideas of some of the other aspirants to Presidential hbnors and accordingly, Gen. Sam. Houston appeared in this,city last week to attend to his interests. Of course he also must be made a member of this celebrated society, and. on Saturday evening, he went through the ceremonies of initiation. The recent election, in this State, for District Delegates to Mb** the Delegates to the Baltimore Convention, has terminated, as far as heard from, in favor of the Barnburners and if thi* proves to be true to the end. General
Sam. will spend his time unprofitably, for the vote of New York will be sure for W. -0. Butler. The Whigs also appear to appreciate their position, and have endeavored to profit from the experience of their opponents. Accordingly, a grand caucus has been held, and Gov. Jones, of Tennessee, has come out uppermost and decided to be most likely to unite all interests and receive a full vote of the party. This may be so, but much will depend upon the nominee for Vice President, who has not yet been named, but he will be a Northern man. *£&££
Private letters from London say that Hon. R. J. Walker and Mr. Neale have failed in their efforts to secure a loan for the Illinois Central Railroad, and were about to return home.
The Prometheus, from San Juan, arrived yesterday afternoon, with fifteen day's news from California, 285 passengers and $568,000 in dust. The news from the mines, especially from those in Mariposa county, is very encouraging. The Indians have commenced hostilities, and a general outbreak is expected

Lake Pepin, 60 or 70 miles below, is not without interest—the bluffs are some 700 feet high, and one high point in particular, called the "Maiden's Leap." According to the tradition of the Indians, a beautiful Indian girl, the daughter of a Chief, being betrayed and dishonored by a false-heart-ed warrior, went to this point, sung her last song of love, took her last look on the wide-spreading waters beneath, and then her last leap into eternity, down a perpendicular bluff, 400 feet.

The recent overthrow, by military and oppressive usurpation, of the only government on the continent of Europe, which professed to be modled after that of the United States, has demonstrated that the sword of tyranny is not yet broken, and that whether in the hands of the autocrat of Russia, the Emperor of Austria, or Louis Napoleon of France, it is equally fatal to popular rights, and will be as,

and by uniting with the Emperor of Aus tria to overthrow the government of the people of Hungary, and deprive them of their constitutional right to govern them selves, by laws of their own enacting.
Resolved, That in any future contest be tween Hungary and Austria, for the re covery and establishment of Hungarian freedom, the people of Hungary, by the law of nations, have a just right to a fair field and an open fight with the forces of Austria alone, without interference from any quarter, or from any other power, and that in such a fight, We have every confidence that they will successfully maintain their independence.
Resolved, That while it would be inconsistent with the settled policy of the government of the United States, to entangle itself in European affairs, and to march our army to fight the battles of Eurojie, yet—we think it the duty of our government to recognize the independence of Hungary, whenever Hungary shall be able to maintain it with her arms—and that feelings of an enlightened humanity, would prompt every patriot in the United SlaUis to contribute towards the accomplishment of that independence, by whatever means he could lawfully employ, consistent with the safety and integrity of our own country and the law of Nations. a
Resolved, That the doctrine of hod-iti* tervention has been, and now is, a favorite theory of our national government—• that it has given us peace at home, and consideration abroad—lhat, as citizens, we have no disposition to depart from it, but while this is the case, we can see no reason why the President of the United Stales ma^- not, without offence, urge, in a diplomatic formyuptni ^v. ernment of Europe, the same policy which has marked the past history of our own leaving every people to regulate their own internal affairs, without resorting to the intervention of neighboring powers
Resolved, That we sympathise, cordially and warmly, with the Republican movements of the old world, where the flag of freedom has been unfurled after along night of political and social gloom that while the patriots of that good old land have united, the league of tyranls has been formed that while the voico of the people has gone up for the political regeneration of Europe, the despotism of centuries, stfong in the elements of carnage and desolation, has put forth its mighty power to crush the cause of constitutional freedom that while all looks dark and gloomy for the cause of Liberty, we still have unshaken confidence, that Heaven will, in its own good time, "bring light out of darkness," and prepare men and naliortsi for the universal brotherhood of Republican institutions and, with the earnest hope for such a result, we would say to our down trodden brethren of the old world

Resolved, That while Europe is thus convulsed, and her patriots are scattered, and sent into exile—while the gallant sons who would regenerate and build up the dead or expiring liberties of ber people are banished from their native landwhile the so-called christian powers of Europe look on, with cold indifference, at the expatriation of the pure of heart and bold of spirit: we, a portion of the people
