ADIfflfiSS OF KOSSUTH,

'fky. ' STATES.
An address ol Kusiih to ,ihe .people of the
tJnliicd States has been transmitted to this
country. It i introduced with a nolo from Ma
jor Toehrnan, ol Wuhington, to tbo following
effect :
"In the month of February last, Gov. L.
Ujhazi, Utc of Hungary, sent mo a proclama
tion of the Hungarian leader Louis Kossuth,
nddreised to the people of tbce United Slates,
requesting to cause the same to be published
audio deposit its original, written in the Mag
jar language, in the archives of Congress.
When that valuable document came to my
hands, a negotiation was pending, having for
its object the liberation of Kossuth from the
Turkish custody. This consideration induced
me to consult confidentially with a number of
distinguished citizens, occupying high and ex
halled stations, whom I knew to bo tho truest
and warmest friends of the Hungarian cause,
and its great leader, and finding that each of
them concurred with me in the opinion that the
publication ot that document at that lime might
have defeated the object of the negociation, I
informed Governor Ujhazi of it ; w hereupon he
authorized me tn retain in my possession its
original until it fluid be safely published.
This time haMnow'arrived. The Hungari
an leader being already under the protection
of the stars and stripes, and approaching thes
hospitable shores, tberj is no necessity of with
holding it longer from tho public eye.
Having set forth the foregoing explanation
of reasons why the proclamation referred to.
was not laid sooner before the people of these
United States, to whom it is addressed, I res
pectfully beg fur it the liberality of 3'our columns
by diplomacy when we l?aw tc must fight
to save ourselves from ijetng ktruck ofTthe
earth as a nation when the house of Austria,
by its endless acts of injustice and! cruelty, and
by calling hi the aid of a foreign power, bad
extinguished in the hearts,-of the Hungarian
people every spark of affection then, and then
only, a'fser so much patience, the nation resol
ved to declare its absolute independence. Then
spoke the National Assembly, the words which
had1 long been uttered by evejry patriotic tongue :
" Francis Joseph ! thou beardless young Nero !
thou darcsl to say Hungaryshalt exist no more !
We, the people, answer, Ve do akd trill exist ;
but you and your treacherous hou4e shall stand
no, longer ! Yoil shall no more be Rings of :
Hungary Be forever bauibed,5ye perhdious

Kossuth, thus refers to the noble struggle the
Hungarians made : j
Though we were inferior in numbers to the
enemy, and could not compare with their well
trained forces though our arras were shorter
than theirs- yet the heroic sons; of Hungary
supply tho want of member byi indomitable
bravery, and lengthened their weapons, by a
step further in advance. j
The wor)d knows how brarely the Hungari
ans fought. And it is not for me, who was
identified with the war who, j obeying the
wishes of the nation, stood faithfully at the
helm of government to extol the heroic deeds
of my countrymen. I may mention, however,
that, while everyday it became more evident
that the heart of Europe beat to the pulsation
of the Hungarian struggle, we maintained the
unequal conflict alone, cut off from the rest
of (he M'orld and all external aid till a year ago
we laid the haughty power of the jyrant's house
of IJapsburg in the dust ; and had it not been

requests, appealing to the sanctity of their oaths
as a guarantee of their fulfilment ; and I, weak
in myself, but strong through the confidence of
my countrymen and the noble sympathy of the
Austrian peoplet proclaimed everywhere amidst
the raging storm ofthe revolution, " that the
house of Austria should 6tand, for by the bles
sings of the Almighty, it had begun tomove in
the right direction, and would be just to the
people." It stood and stood too, at a time,
when, whatever might have been tho fate of
Hungary, the revolutionary tempest under my
direction would have been to antiquated and
helpless dynasty, like chaff before the winds of
heaven.
I not only preserved the house of Austria,
but placed in its hands the materials of a long

slructible power in the affection of thirty two
millions of people.- I tendered them the. fideli
ty and assistance ol my own heroic Hungary,
which alone was able to defend them against
the assaults of tho world. 1 afforded them the
glorious opportunity more glorious than had
ever been presented before ol establishing
nn impregnable barrier to protect freedom, civ.
ilizalioii, and progress against tho Cossack
power which now threatens Europe. To at
lain this honor, this glory, one thing only wa
necessary that they should remain faithful to
their oaths. Hut when was it that Austria was
not treacherous ? We look in vain for as much
honor as is found among robbers hrthe Baps
burg family.
On the very day they signed the grant of
ihoso moderate demands of the Hungarian peo.
pie, and solemnly swore before God and tho
nation to maintain them, they secretly resolved
and planned the most cruel conspiracy against

desolate the land with insurrection, conflagra
tion, and blood, that, feoble and exhausted un
der the burden of a thousand miseries, Hun
gary might be struck from the toll of living na

He adds in this connection :
NVc desired an honorable peace, and wp were
willing to submit to any reasonable terms.

victoriously, in defence ; and it was only when
every attempt to bring about an honorable
peace (ailed when Francis Joseph, who was
never our king, dared in his manifesto on the
4th of March, 18i9, to utter the curse that
Hungary sJiould exist no longcr"-when there
was no hope of arresting the Russian invasion
The Hungarians, more fortunate than I, who
were able to reach the shores of the New World
were received by the people and government of
the United Slates in the most generous man
ner yes, like brothers. With one hand they
hurled anathemas at the despots and with the
other welcomed the humble exiles to partake
of that glorious American liberty, more to bo
valued than the glitter of crowns. Our hearts
are filled with emotions to see how this great
nation extends its sympathy and aid to every
Hungarian who is so fortunate jas to arrive in
America. The, sympathetic declaration of such
a people, under such circumstances, with simi
lar sentiments in England is not a mere sigh
which the wind blows away, but is prophetic
of the future. What a blessed sight to see
whole nations, elevated by such sentiments !
Free citizens of America, you inspired my
countrymen to noble deeds : vour approval im-
parted confidence; your sympathy consoled in
adversity, gave a ray of hope Ibrthe future, and
enabled us to bear the weight of our heavy
burden ;; your fellow-feeling will sustain us fill

is not lost forever," Accept in the name of
my couniryinen, the acknowledgement of our
warmest gratitude and our highest respect.
- He concludes his address as follows :
Citizens of America ! to you 1 declare hon.
estly that my ainfin the federation 'of Jlungary
with the smaller nations, was to secure the na
tionality and independence of each, and the free,
dom of all ; and had anything been wanting
which could have been justly granted to any or
all of the races in Hungary, the Magyars had
only to know it, and it would have been perform
ed with readiness ; for freedom and not power
was their desire. . 1
Finally, I declare that, by the declaration of
Independence by which I was elected Govern,
or of Hungary, I protest, so long as the people
do not by their free will release me from that
office, that no one can legally control the affairs
of government but myself.' This protestation
is not made in a feeling of vanity or desire to be
conspicuous, but from respect to the inherent
rights of my countrymen. I strove not for pow.
er. The brilliancy of a crown would not seduce
me. The final aim of my life, after having lib
erated my dear Hungary, wa to end my days as
a private citizen and an humble larmer.
My country, in the hou of danger, called
upon me to assist in the struggle for freedom.
I responded to its call. Others, doubtless, were
more able, who could have won more fame, but
I will yield to none in the purity of my motives.
Perhaps il was confidence in my ardent patriot,
ism and honesty of purpose which induced the
people to gi re me the power. They believed
freedom would be safe in my hands. I felt my
weakness and told them I could not promise lib
erty unless they were united as one man, and
would lay aside all personal, all sectional inter.
st. I foretold that, if the nation was divided,
it would fall. As long as they followed my
believing that so generous a people will not
judge the merits of our cause by a temporary
defeat, but will recognise Governor Ujhazi and
his companions with the accustomed kindness.
May God bless your country forever ! May
it have the glorious destiny to share with oth
er nations the blessings of that liberty which
constitutes its own happiness and fame ! May
your great example, noble Americans, be to
other nations the source of social virtue, your
power be the terror of all tyrants the protector
of the distressed ; and your free country ever
continue to be the. asylum for the oppressed of
all nations. Written at my place of banish.,

WOMEN'S RIGHTS.
The latest novelty in the shape of news,
is the Women's Rights Convention lately
held at Worcester, Mass.
Worcester, according to Ruskins, is a
great place for screws and mechinery, and
every sort of ism finds there an entity and
habitation. Well, the married and single
women had a Convention there the other
day, and appointed a President, Secreta
ries, Jc, and regularly organized for bus
iness. Its our private opinion that there
were more old maids, disappointedartful
dodgers, who were mad with the men for
not proposing, in that convention than so
ber married dames. Howbeit, the assem
bled, and some of the resolutions and ad
dresses are funny things here is one :
" That we deny the right of any portion
of the species to decide for another por
tion, or of any individual to decide for an
other individual, what is and what is not
their proper sphere ;' that the proper
sphere for all human beings is the lar
gest and highest to 'which they are able
to attain; what this is, cannofbe ascer
tained without complete liberty of choice ;
woman, therefore, ought tochoose for her
self what sphere she will fill, what educa
tion she will seek, and what employment
she will follow and not be held bound
to accept, in cubmission, the rights, the
education, Mid the sphere which man
thinks proper to allow her."
We always thought women, the charm-,
ing creatures, were angels in disguise
not "individuals," but it seems we were
mistaken. As regards the "proper spere"
3c, tastes may dttier ; some ot these la
dy reformers nay reserve to themselves
the privilege of choosing the profession
most agreeable to their inclination, may
select an employment, possibly stage dri
ving, brick laying, or the like, mayusurp
the privilege of wearing pantaloons and
voting at the popular elections ; all these
are claimed as rights but then the question
arises if these rights are allowed, what
becomes of alf the household duties, and
who are to take care of the babies. Now,
this is a very progressive age, and one
novelty succeeds another in the onward
dash of improvement with lightning speedT
yet it seems to us. ignorant as we are of
these experiences, that the "proper sphere"
of woman is at home out of "sight, that
the very acceptance of the position which
man in this era of civilization and refine
ment assigns to her, constitutes a new
and higher claim upon bis affections.
Who wants a strong minded voting wo
man for a wife, certes not the "venera
ble" or ourself. No ! no ! let the women
mind theiri own business, around their
own hearth fires; the circle is large e
nough Jbr happiness ; let them see that
aR the resources of domestic joy are kept
bright for the anticipative future, and the
serene routine naturally incident wedded
bliss is not disturbed by unseemly jars or
misunderstandings; these with the ordi
nary courtesies and frendshipsof life will
make the time pass away, but if you
please no voting, no trowsers, they are
our prerogatives and we want to "wear
them. By the bye speaking of trowsers,
observing a well dressed friend promen
ading the streets with evident satisfac
tion, we inquired of him, the originof his
ior Class, from Gilmantown, sick of ty
phoid fever, bad escaped from his sick
chamber, in the momentary absence of his
attendants, and was on his way to his ac
customed seat in the church. The agi
tation of the audience may easily be con
ceived. Order, however, was restored,
and the services were finished in the usual
course. The young man died on Monday
night, at 11 o'clock, having been sick but
five days. Boston Traveller.

J see a light. Vm almost Home. The
following is related of a young girl, whose
journey of life was near its end.
About her chamber glided gently the
loved forms of her parents, and an only
sister. She silently noted their movements
with a mild expression of her dying eye,
turning it from side to side. Arrested by
her peculiar look, so expressive of afflic
tion and patient suffering, they paused to
look upon her whom they only saw now
but dimly through their tears, and so soon
should see no more.
A feeble effort to speak, a quivering
voiceless movement of tho lips, drew close
ly around the loving hearts of the sorrow
ing circle.
Mother, father, sister, all came close to
her side. A playful smile lit up her coun
tenance. She laid her little pulseless hand
within her mother's palm, then closed her
eyelids to the light of earth, and sank
away. The cold damp air of death's sha
dowy valley seemed circling over her.
Slowly sinking down, she glided towards
that river's shore which like a narrow
stream, divides the spirit-land from ours.
But see ! the quivering lips essay to speak ?
" Mother !" O ! how each heart throbbed
now, and then each pulse stood still.
They listen. "Mother!" the dying girl
breathes forth "I see a light I'm al
most home !"
Enjoyment of Life. Two wealthy gen
tlemen were lately conversing in regard
to the period where they had best enjoyed
themselves. "I will tell you," says one,
"when l most enjoyed life. Soon after I
was twenty one, I worked for Mr. ,
laying stone wall, at twenty cents per day."
" Well, replied the other, "that does not
diner muchTrom my experience. When
I was twenty, I hired myself out at seven
dollars a month. I have never enjoyed
myself better since." The experience of
a ... '
these two individuals teaches, first, that
one's happiness does not depend on the
amount of his gains and station he occu
pies; second, that very small beginnings,
with industry and prudence, may secure
wealth.
A True Lady. The Louisville Courier
of the 8th instant says
The papers through the country are noticing
with favor the verdict ol ten thousand dollars
lately recovered in Henry county, in this Slate,
in favor of a young lady, in an action of slander,
as astrong indication of the high moral tone
of the community where the cause was tried
It may be proper to add that, so soon as the
verdict was rendered, the fair Kentucky plain

matters of more or less public interest
brought before the Board, to which it may
be well to give a passing notice.
In consequence of Mr. Chas. Fisher de
clining bis election as a member of the
Board, in the first instance, and Dr. White
head in the second, there has been a va
cancy in the North Ward up to this time.
After passing over several items of a more
ordinary character, the Intendant of Po
lice adverted to the fact of this vacancy,
and expressed a desire to have it filled.
The names of several persons were men
tioned, but Samuel Reeves, jr., being on
that Ward and nominated by the Inten
dant, was elected. He was sent for im
mediately ; and havingqualified by taking
an oath to support the Constitution of the
United States (?) and the Charter and laws
of the Town of Salisbury, entered upon
the discharge of his duties at once.
After this, the Board was called upon by
the Intendant to vote upon the applica
tion of David Barringer for a recommend
ation to the Court, for a license to retail
ardent spirits at the Mansion Hotel. Vote
ayes, II. L. Robards, Wm. Overman,
Samuel Reeves, 3. Nays, T. T. Maxwell,
J. J. Bruner, 2. The applicant was suc
cessful. Col. Robards then made application for
himself. He stated that he had been re
fused a recommendation in the Spring,
and he thought, as it had been granted to
Barringer, he ought to have it ; and re
quested that it might take effect backwards
and forwards " fore and aft," as the sail
or says; and his application was accord
ingly framed in that way. This was
warmly seconded by Wm. Overman.
Whereupon the vote being taken resulted

SHOCKING MURDER.
The Rev. Robert McNabb, of Carthage,
Moore county, N. C. wascrueily murder
ed on Friday night last, in his own yard.
We learn verbally, that a neighbor sat
with him till 9 o'clock in the evening, af
ter which Mr. McNabb took his pipe and
went into the garden to smoke before re
tiring for the night. He did not return,
and his body was not found till the follow-
combine together to subvert the government,
and put down all order by forcible resistance
to laws. The latter class of culprits have in
jured society vastly more than the former, and
none the less because they profess to act in the
name of religion and humanity.

Col. Robards volunteered to vote for his
own application, and thus relieved the In

pressed a wish to avoid.

Many would like to know upon what
