Kossuth's Interview with the President. Kossuth, accompanied by iiis suite, had an interview with the President on Wed nesday, 31st December. It was not a formal or official reception. Kossuth read the following address— M. KOSSL Tit's ADDRESS TO THE PRESIDENT. " Enlightened by the spirit of your country's institutions, when we succeeded to consolidate our natural and historical State right of self-government by placing it upon the broad foundation of demo cratic liberty—inspired by your history when we had to light for independence against annihilation by centralizing ab solutism—consoled by your people's sym pathy when a victim of Russian inter ference with the laws of nature and of nature's God—protected in exile by the Government of the United States sup porting the Sultan of Turkey in his noble resolution to undergo the very danger of a war rather than leave unprotected the rights of humanity against Rosso-Austrian despotism—restored by the United States to life because restored to freedom, and bv freedom to activity in behalf of those du ties which, by my nation's unanimous confidence and sovereign will, devolved upon me—raised in the eyes of many op pressed nations to the standing of a har binger of hope, because the star spangled banner was seen cast in protection around me, announcing to the world that there is a nation, alike powerful as free, ready to protect the laws of nations, even in dis tant parts of the earth and in the person of a poor exile—cheered by your people's sympathy so us freemen cheer not a man whatever, hut a principle —I now bow be fore you, sir, in the proud position of your great nation's guest, generously welcomed by resolution of the Congress of the United States, with equal generosity approved and executed by your Excel lency. I beg leave to express my fervent thanks, in my name and in the name of mv associates, who after having shared mv misfortunes, have now the reward to share the honor and the benefit which the meat Republic of the United States was pleased to bestow upon Hungary by be stowing it upon its freely chosen chief, when he became a persecuted victim of despotic violence. 1 beg leave to express niv fervent thanks in my country's name also, which, amidst the sorrows of its desolations, livlscheered by yourcountry's generosity, and looks with resolution to the impending future, because it is con fident that the time draws near when the eternal code of the law of nations willbe cotn.- a reality. "President: —1 stand before your Ex cellency a living protestation against the violence of foreign interference oppressing the sovereign right of nations to regulate their own domestic concerns. I stand be fore your Excellency a living protestation against eentralizaii >u oppressing the state right of self-government. May 1 be al lowed to take it for an augury of better times, that, in landing on the happy shores of this glorious Republic, 1 landed in a free and powerful country, whose honored Chief Magistrate proclaims to the world that this country cannot remain indifferent when the strong arm of a foreign Power is invoked to stifle public sentiment and repress the spirit of freedom in our coun try. 1 thank Cod that he deemed me not unworthy to act and to suffer lor my fatherland. 1 thank Cod that the late ol my country became so intimately con nected with the fate of liberty and inde pendence of nations ol Europe as formerly it was intimately connected with the se curity of Christendom. 1 thank Cod that my country's unmerited woe and my per sonal sufferings became an opportunity to ser k a manifestation of the spirit and principles of your Republic. "May Cod the Almighty bless you with a long life, that you may long enjoy the happiness to see your country great, glorious and free, the corucr-stonc of in ternational justice, and the column of freedom, as it is already an asylum to the oppressed." 4 *b>ir, I pledge to your country the everlasting gratitude of Hungary." The President replied briefly to M. Kossuth's address, in substance as follows: I\ew Srries-Vol, G-Ao. 2'2. THE PRESIDENT'S REPEY. "I am happy, Governor Kossuth, to welcome you to this land of freedom; and it gives me pleasure to congratulate you upon your release from a long confine ment in Turkey, and your safe arrival here. As an individual, I sympathised deeply with you in your brave struggle lor the independence and freedom of your native land. The American people can never be indifferent to such a contest, but our policy as a nation in this respect has been uniform from the commencement of our Government, and mv own views, as the Chief Executive Magistrate of this nation, are fully and freely expressed in my recent message to Congress, to which you have been pleased to allude. They are the same, whether speaking to Con gress here, or to the nations of Europe. "Should your country be restored to independence and freedom, I should then wish you, as the greatest blessing you could enjoy, a restoration to your native land; but, should that never happen, 1 can only repeat my welcome to you and your companions here, and pray that God's blessing may rest upon you wherever your lot may be east." Remedy for Starlet Fever. The following cure for this malignant disease, is given in the Delaware Re publican, by a physician: MESSRS. EDITORS: —You will confer a favor on some of your readers, at least, by publishing this receipt for Scarlet Fe ver ui its stages, and which will cure nineteen cases out of twenty, if strictly attended to ; this treatment although ap parently simple, you will find a sovereign remedy, and will save many of your little ones from a premature grave, which is almost sure to follow the use of calomel, which universally tends to increase the disease instead of curing it. Treatment as follows:—(live a mild cathartic, such as castor-oil or some gentle pills, every two or three days, and when there is fever present sponge the body with weak ley, and give some simple tea to promote per spiration, such as catnip, sage, balm, ; and for the putrid symptoms give good brewer's yeast, mixed with cold water; one tablespoonfull of the former to two tablcspoonfulls ol the latter, for children ten or twelve years old, and younger ones according to age; to he repeated from three to five times a day ; ami use as a gargle yeast and cream or milk, equal parts, sweetened with honey, and gargle the throat and mouth frequently with it; and if the throat is much swollen, poultice with yeast and pulverised slippery elm; continue the above treatment until well. I know, by many years experience, that this is the best and most efliectual way to cure the scarlet fever. 1)R. WM. FIELDS. Wilmington, Del., Dec., 12, lbsl. fioixo SIX MILES TO SEE WHAT A Sr\- PAY SCHOOI, LOOKED UKK. —-A superin tendent of a Sunday School in Alabama says; —Early this spring, a bov came to the school-room, who lived six miles oil. lie was badly fixed, as is very common with the children about here. I went to him and asked him if lie would become a scholar, lie lived too far oil", and had only come over to see what a Sunday school looked like, and if he liked it lie would come again. On the next Sabbath he came again, and was among the first there, and he had brought another boy with him 4 to see.' Will on the next Sabbath four of the family, and others from the same neighborhood, were there. I got them to spell a lesson. This boy was so pleased with our school, that he went home and persuaded his neighbors to have a Sabbath-school, and thev have one, and only two out of twenty can read and only one professogf of religion is among them who can pray in public. This boy has learned to read, and is now one of the teachers ! —What the result will be we cannot tell. FIFE'S FAST DOERS. — Fife's last hours are grand testing hours. Death tries all our principles, and lays bare all our foun dations. Vast numbers have been found to act tiie hypocrite in life, who were forced to be honest in the hour of death. What atheists have owned their madness, what infidels have denounced their prin ciples, what worldlings have bewailed their lolly when death approached ! Mis givings of the heart that have been kept secret through life, have come out in death; and many who seemed all right and fair lor glory, have had to declare that they had only been self-deceived. It lias been said, 4 men may net dissemble in death,' hence the value ol dying testimonies. We gather the last words; the last acts; the last experiences ; and we treasure lliem up as indubitable evidences in favor of, or against the character of those that wore their value as tests of character, and all have felt their force. —.">o tons soft plas •®- tcr fors.iK t>y [ n "-"l JOHN KENNEDY. —LAPP and JOINT SHI.V --►ls (iLLitS, kept constantly oa hand and f< r stiie by \V. l\ MILLIKRN.
