The source of it is that your generous act of

that

Thirdly, I beg leave frankly to state that my
aim is to restore my Fatherland to the full en

fu.Ily entitled to be recognized by the people of
the United Slates, whose very existence is
founded upon a quite similar Declaration of in.

What can be opposed lo this recognition,
which is a logical necessary consequence of
the principle of your I country's political ex is,

frown of Mr. Hulsernan the anger of that sat
ellite of the Czar called Francis Joseph of Aus

and by which, of course you must feel extreme,
ly terrified, that your Minister at Viena will
have offered his passports, and that Mr. Hulse.
man leaves Washington, should I be received
and treated in my official capacity.
Now as to your? Minister at Viena, how can
you combine the letting him stay there with
your opinion of the cause of Hungary, I realfy
dr. n't know but so much know, that the pre.
nent absolutislical atmosphere ol Viena is not
very propitious to American principles. I know j

which, to be sure, your high minded Govern,

dently hope that Ihe sovreign of this country,

Thus having expounded my aim, I begeave
to state that I came not to your glorious snores
to enjoy a happy rest. I came not with the
intention to gather iriumphs-of personal distinc

came a humble petitioner in my country's name,

will devoteevery moment of my life, with the
utmost assiduity, with the utmost restlessness,
as every moment may bring a report of events
which may call me to hasten lo my place in
the battle field, where the great, and I hope, the
last battle will be fought between liberty and
despotism a moment marked by ihe finger of
God to be so" near, that every delay of your
generous aid may prove fatal to oppressed hu

of your glorious peace negotiated at Paris by

nouncing itself in the most decided manner
openly that the people of JSngland, united to
you, with enlightened, brotherly love, as it is
united in blood, conscious of its own, has for
1 ever abandoned every sentiment of irritation
and rivalry, and desires the brotherly alliance

the sovreign right of nations against the en
croaching arrogance of despots ; and leagued
to you against the league of despots to gland

I have slated my position; I am a straight for

ana 1 am nappy to state that I have4iothing losi
by this avowel there. I hope will nothing
lose here in republican America by ihe ffahk.
ness which must be one of the chief qualities
of every Republican. So I beg leave frrnkly
and openly to state the following points.
First, that I lake it for a duty, of honor and
of principle, not to meddle with whatever par.
ty question of bis own domestic aflVirs. I claim
for my country ihe righi to dispose of itself, so
I am resolved and musl be resolvedoo respect
the same principle here and everywhere ; may
others delight in ihe part of Knights Errant for
theories that is not my case. I am the man
of the great principle of the sovreignty of every
people 10 dispose of its own domestic concerns,
and I must solemnly deny to every foreigner,
as to erery foreign power, ihej-ight to oppose
the sovreign faculty.
Secondly. I profess highly and openly my
admiration for Ihe glortou principle of union
Upon which elands the mighty pyramid of your
greatness, and upon the basis of which you
bare grows in the short period of seventy the
your immortal Franklin. I hope the people of
the United Stales, now itsell in the happy con-
union 10 aia tnose woo in need ol aid, as itseil

factsr and you, citizens of Nw York, you will

ihose which the oppressed Has to the sym.
pathy of free men who have ihe power to help
with the claim which ihe unfortunate has lo
The happy and the down trodden to ihe pro
lection of Eternal Jnstice and of human right.
In a word, I have no other claims than those
which the oppressed principle of freedom has
to the aid of victorious liberty. Then I would
humbly ask are the claims sufficient 10 ensure
your generous protection, not to myself, but to
the caiise of my native land not lo myself,
not to the cause of my native land only, but
to the principle of freedom on Europe' Conti
nent, of which the independence of Hungary
is the indisputable keystone.! If you consider
these claims not sufficient to your action and
operative sympathy, then let rue know at once,
that the hopes have failed with which Europe's
oppressed nation have looked lo your "great.
mighty and glorious republic. Let me know
at once the failure of our hopes, that I may
hasten back and tell Europe's oppressed na

then let me have a new opportunity to expound
before you my humble requests in a practical
way. I confidently hone Mr. Mayor, the Cor.
poration and citizens of the Empire City will
grant me the second opportunity. If this be
your generous will, then let me lake this for a
boon of happier days, and let me end with a
sigh of thanksgiving to the Almighty God that
it is your glorious country which Providence
has selected to the pillar of freedom as it isal.

Correspondence of the Charleston Courier.
1 Washington, Dec. 11.
The Kossuth question completely ab
sorbs the attention of the Senate. Much
curiosity was manifested to hear Mr.
Charles Sumner, the new senator from
Massachusetts. His speech was brilliant
and powerful, and entirely free from the
peculiar views to which he owed his elec
tion, He was in favor of the resolution giv
ing Kossuth a hearty welcome, though he
admitted that it would be an act of sig
nificance iirthe history of the country
giving encouragement to all other lands,
who are struggling for freedom, and es
tablishing a precedent that will grow with
the mighty growth of the country. He
gave a powerful description of what might
be hoped from the efforts of his master
mind. He did not wish the country, how
ever, to reserve its policy of peace with
all nations ; and he would say to Kossuth
be content with the sympathy you every
where receive,! and trust in the great fu
ture which is pregnant with freedom for
his, and for all countries.
Anothet marked speech was from Com
modore Stockton, who by the way, spoke
witn as much spirit as he would on the
quarter deck, and with as much ease as
if he were in a drawing room.
He did not wish to adopt a policy of in
tervention with foreign affairs, and did
not regard the resolution as contravening
with such a policy. If foreign powers took
offence at it, we have a Secretary of State
who would answer them, and a Navy that
would blow them out of water. He did
not believe, however, that we could or
should always maintain the policy of neu
trality laid down by Washington. We
had been, by our weakness, compelled
to put up with insult and aggression
from all quarters. In the next struggle
thatwould take place in Europe, we should
undoubtedly become involved. That strug
gle, he thought, was near at hand, and it
was time for us to be up and doing. He
did not agree with Kossuththat England
vyould be induced to fight the battles of
liberty, for she had never taken the lead
in the cause of freedom, and if she got the
ascendancy, there would be no freedom
in the world. He was in favor of Mr.
Berrin's qualified resolution, which guards
against tbe conclusion that Congress fa
vors intervention to all Kossuth's associ
ates. Mr. Clemens, of Alabama, made a fierce
attack on Kossuth and his doctrines, and
his political objects. He hoped he would
come here, but not at the invitation of
Congress. The people, he said, might do
what they pleased, but Congress ought
not to encourage the political agitation.
The question is unsettled, but the gen
eral opinion is that Congress will do noth
ing. Congress makes speeches now at Kos
suth, and he makes speeches at Congress,
all which is rediculous. Kossuth declares
that as Congress has thus repudiated him,
he will not proceed further on his tour in
this country, but return to Enrdpe. He
certainly will not come to Washington,
unless the Executive of Congsess invite
him to come.
The President has not sent him any in
vitation, as has been reported, but his no
tice of him in the message is an ample
recognition of him in his official capacity
as Governor of Hungary.

OUR HOBBY.
Every eohy has a hobby horse to ride ; and
editors are especially given to such equestrian
exercises. It will be plainly perceived that we
have a bobby horse, which we are apt to strad
die every week ; and our hobby is the Old
Koan, familiarly known as Rip Van Winkle.
We have an excuse for dwelling so much on
one theme ; and we will tell our readers plain
ly what it is,
. It is for their amusement. Variety is the
spice of life ; all men love novelty. Now lo
ihe scholar and well-read gentleman or lady it
wijl be difficult lo furnish intellectual food,
freh and pleasant. History, biographical, fic
tion, poetry, have all become stale ; they have
got by heart, the history of the world, and read
every kind ol romance. Now there is a place
oul of (he world' a place unknown lo every
body ta place where hisiory, geography, peo
ple, interests, progress, etc., etc., if fairly given,
will be as fresh to our reader, as anything we
can possibly furnish. That place is North
Carolina ; and we can conoeive of nothin"
more pleasant and novel, lo an intelligent mind,
than descriptions of this Terra Incognita. A
friend of ours getting a copy of The North
Carolina Reader, devoured it with an intense
relish ; when be had finished, he anxiously en.
quired of us if it was a pure fiction, or found
ed on fact."
2. We are prompted to dwell on the inter
ests of North Carolina, from a desire to pro
mote the true welfare of our readers. The
holiest, and sweetest pleasures of this world
are connected with home ; and those who do
not love their homes, or have none, are the
most wretched of mortals. .Have the North
Carolinians a borne ? Are they not raised up
to despise the place of their nativity ? Is it not
to them a prison, dreary, comfortless, unendu
rable ? Whal make it so? Imagination, false
notions, false education ; and we conceive it to
be a sacred duly, a humane labor, to dissipate
this unhappy delusion.
3. We. have at heart the interest of our rea.
ders ; and we wish to prevent them from throw,
ing carelessly away their birthright. All you
who are so anxious to sell out, or give away
your possession, hold on a little while ! Sub
scribe lor ihe Weekly Post, or for any other
North Carolina paper, and read it attentively
for one year. Beneath lh wasted surface of
your gullied fields are immense treasures of
gold, silver, diamonds, rubies, and other pre.
cious minerals ; and there is not a plantation
or lot in the Stale which will not, some'day, be
a fortune lo some body. Not many years ago
an old German citizen of Cabarrus," founda
pretty rock, with which he kept his door open ;
and thinking it might be of value to him, he
carried it, in one of his trips to FayetlevilJe,
and finding that a foolish jeweller took a fancy
lo it, he "axed a pig brice," and chuckled over
three dollars, which the fancy gentleman paid
for the yellow rock. Reader, this was a great
lump of gold, & on lhat same Dutchman's place
was found a wedge of ore, worth at least, six
thousand dollars. Now, good readers, fortunes
are to be found on your places ; and we are
anxious that you should not take three dol
lars" for your prizes, at.d permit strangers lo re
alize the fortunes sleeping beneath your feet.
Fourthly and lastly. We have some affec
tion for North Carolina, and we love to speak
of her, and write of her. We have a fancy
for it, and we must be indulged in our fancies,
or we will not Work.
Hurrah, for North Carolina ! Weekly Post.

graceful riot.

THE GREAT STORM OF 1703.
The most violent storm-ever known to
occur on the coasts of Europe was on the
27th of Nov., 1703 one hundred and forty-eight
years ago. This fearful tempest
on the shores of Great Britain was pre
ceded by a strong west wind, which set
in about the middle of November, and ev
ery day and every hour increased in force,
till on the 27th it raged so furiously that
every heart was appalled, and horror and
confusion seized upon all, whether on shore
or at sea. lo venture abroad was to rush
into instant death ; and stay within af
forded no other prospect than that of being
buried under the ruins of a falling habita
tion. One hundred and twenty-three per
sons were killed by the falling of dwell
ings ; amongst these were the Bishop of
Bath and Wells and his lady, by tbe fall
of part of the Episcopal Palace of Wells,
and Lady Penelope Nicholas, sister to the
Bishop of London, at Horseleay, in Sus
sex. Those who perished in the waters, in
the floods of the Severn and the Thames,
on tbe coast of Holland, and in ships
high in this State, there has never been, thai
we know of, an instance of editorial corruption.
Can as much be said of every other part of
the known world ?
