to oombii.e boih these elements of strength, Such i arc the facts. I will not say that you will not take tSebastopol. Leaders ond tnea like those you have there may do prodigies, though their position is certainly anything but satisfactory. Whatever be the shadows which coming events casi over my i soul, nor fur anything would i throw a damp over the spirits of those braves when a'd their spirt s are required in the supreme trial they have to stand. Let us take for graii'ed that they succeed ; let us anticipate the sight when the shattered ruins of that glorious army wtlj stand on the smouldering ru.u tf Sebastcpol. Weil—ami after! If your secret aim in this war huo been solely the destruction of the Russian fleet; well, that will be achieved at the sacrifice of the flower of both your nations; but j that you never can—dare avow. You n.ver can avow that your only object in this war ha.- been a rehearea! of Copenhagen and Navartno, from mere jealou-y. VVe", if you have higher, breaoer'sims —aa to have you must—then, supposing to hive taken Sebaslopol, I a.-k you, well, aod what aiter! Oh, how different would be your position now, j. , your Government had not sacrificed your own saleiy te illiberal views, and your success to regards f,>r the worst of despots and despotism. Suppose you had organized a brigade of Polish exiles. (France —even the France of NAPOLEOX, has a foreign le gion, why not you ? who are not over abounding in men, and have fought nearly all your continents] wars with your own money but with foreign armies —your own braves acting the part which the Old Guard of NAPOLEON acted.) Suppo-e you hid or ganized a foreign legion of Polander.- here, and or dered Sir CHARLES NAPIER not to care about barren Cronstadt, but to take Riga, and to land the Polish legion to call upon Russian Poland to rise and back them; to l*nd the 12,000 French who were dis patched to the Baltic, with such a pompous flourish ot imperial words, and who did so wonderfully lit tie there. Suppo-e the.-e done. And suppose at the same time, the Anglo-French Army in the east, 100,000 strong, joining the 120,000 Turks, elated hy recent victory, pushed on after the defeated Russi an* up Bessarabia ! How diffeient would be your position now. But Austria!—what with Austria' Hear the silent question of your heart's anxiety. Well, of two thiugs, one: ei her Austria would have let you do, and then the question require- no answer, or she would have played false against you, and in that case you had but to call on Hungary and Italy, and where would be Austria now ! England takes but too much the air of looking down upon us wish the commts.-erafioii of pride, because I,or MAZZIM or LEDRU ROLLIN, or these gentlemen here, or any of the poor proscribed patriots of whatever laud,are but poor exiles. England forgets that some of these now poor exiles united may boll to-morrow the des tinies of Europe and your own in the hollow of their hand. Why, is, for a passing moment, BO NAPARTE not dome it! while a few years back you have seen him nothing more but an exile, less en titled to reasonable hopes than the elements to whi L we belong, though not less miserable than some of us. You forget that revolution which we assem bled to commemorate; you foigei how the very Koxztreurs (Scythenaen) of slighted Poland have mowed down the invincible curia>*iers of Russia like grass; you forget that we, Hungarians, aban doned, almost betrayed by all :he world—we alone have stood our ground, not only against t rat Austria which England so much fears, or so much Jorei, but stood our ground against that Russia beside which you are three Powers to fight. Prudence, justice and humanity alike advised you to look for nations as your allies, and not to flatter dynasties, and rely on alliances of passing men, instead of looking to lasang nations. Whatever may be ray opinions about NAPOLEON and .your alliance with liitn, I respect your feelings and will not say any thing to hurt them ; yet ono recommendation I would recommend England well to weigh. NAPOLEON is a mortal man like any one of us. Ho may dte by many a malady—he may be dying at this very mo ment— who knows! At ail events, NAPOLEON i but a passing meteor. The French nation is a last ing luminary. You are allied to NXP U.L IX,~do you lulteve to have secured the alliaura of the French nation! No, you have not! Why not! Because your alliance propos-s to barter away the freedom of Poland. Italy and Germany for the pre carious and disreputable friendship of the Haps burgs and the Brandenburgs. Such is your alliance with Napoleon. Now. da you believe that the French nation, restored to its sovereignty—and cer tainly restored it will be—ever wou d sanction such an alliance ? No. by all that is sacred to men, ne ver, never! Mind the.-e, my words. But the ques tion is, what have you to do in the -iiuation you are placed in ! You are told for alt an.-wer, that rein forcements shall be sent, and hat reinforcement will do. 1 went the length of England, am! the High lands of Scotland, and seeing the -cantr ess of your rural population, wondered where England shall find soicters, once seriously engaged in a great war! Your cities absorb your natiof.; and yet it is true, at thisvery day. wt a HORACE wrote 2000 years aao —it is not the cities, but Ihe rural population, ras.'i corum mascutanii litum prules, which furnishes the stout arms for the wars. But suppose you recruit your reinforcements to your heart's delight, and have time too, to transform them into soldiers—will that be a radical cure? Certainly nit. To have a radical cure, you .uust penptrate to the seat of the evil. The real source of all your difiicu'.ties is Austria. Every child knows this. Either England fears Austria too much, or loves her more than she ought—there is the reason, Don't fear Austria,— throw her overboard, and you are safe. If not, not. Referring to what I was saying, about the compa rative barrenness of a success at Sebaslopol—a suc cess besides, sure to come at a later period—l re ally bi-lieve, even now. it would ba better for you to shift the theatre of the war, provided it be not too Isle. Men who, 14,000 strong, have beaten 60,000 Russians, can gain no more glory by the barren laurel gathered on the ruins of Sebatopol lhan they have, and can nothing lose in their reputation by being despatched to triumph on a battle field richer in resuit. And what could be done with men like these ou the right spot 1 To engage in a wrong direction may be an error; to persist in the wrong direction, and to sacrifice life (and such lives) to obstinacy, looks like a erim*, the retribution of which may yet fall heavily on your head. Shift the theatre ot the war; insi-t peremptorily upon Aus tria's evacuating the Principalities, and siding with or sgainsi you. Advise the Sultan to grant inde pendence to the Rournains and arm them. Enlist the Polish emigration not in Turkey, but here.— Mind where the weak point of Russia isi and ,-trike there ; and wherever a Government is playing false to you, call on the nations it oppiesses; but reinem ber that while in matters of internal progress you 1 may say, "By and by we may come to that," in a war everything depends on moment'. Opportu nity lost is a campaign lost—may be even more. Poland is your only remedy even to-dvy ; but how much surer and easier woulJ it have been six months ago ? I do not speak from even patriotic j egotism ; this war, such as it is, and as it may be j carried on, or arranged in the worst pos-ible man lier, is manifestly an evidence of retributive jus- j tice, slow but sure in its deciees. Much against j the will of your Government, and whatever Lord I PALMEHSTON may diplomatize at Paris, or even at Vienna, as some people say, the freedom of Hun- , is sure to come. It were sad for myself not to I see the day, but this is only a question of individual j happiness, not worth while to speak of f die sure j of the fact that my dear Hungary will be free. I ; speak not from egotism. I speak as England's friend. 1 Neither you, nor even NAPOLEON, can afford sufficient forces for that war there. He cannot say, as you can, let us send our last soldier—police will do at home. He cannot; he has many things to guard— Pans, France, Algiers, aud watch to the north and to the south. You have not too much of men—he has too much of exigencies. I repeat my words of yore:—come what may in this war. England -tands more>a need of Poland and Hungary lhan Poland iXXnTHungary in need of England. With us, victo ry—withsut us, defeat, or a disreptutable, insuffici ent armistice. You know the talc about the nine books. Poland will be your Sybilline booka. Three already are lost—hasten to buy the remaining six, or else, like the Roman King of old, you shall have to pay the price of all the nine for the last three.

As the success of the Cash system depends upon its Arid observance, one Tcuns will be impartially and in flexibly adhered to Governor of Utali. I; will hardly be credited that in these latter Jays, an office so important as Governor of a Ter ritory has been lor some time vacant, because no person would accept i'. Yet this is the case. Some time since Gov BRIGHAM YOUNG'S term of office expired by limitation, and it was decided not to re appoint him. In vain has President PIERCE sought amongst the patriotic band who desired to serve their country, for a suitable person upon whom to confer the appointment. Not one was anxious to be Governor ol Utah, and incur the dan ger of taking from his fanatical predecessor the reins of Government—provided he would acknowl edge and receive a successor. For BRIGHAM claims to have a message Irom on high,inves;ing him with all authority and sets at naught the commissions ot earthly rulers. Alter some delay, however, the President has appointed Colonel STKPTOE, Governor of Utah. The Colonel is already at Salt Lake, with a com pany of soldiers. It is supposed that he will ac cept, and it remains to be seen, whether YOUNG will set up hts higher authority or submit to that of the United States. Some aie appiehensive of trouble. We are informed hat the Territory of Utah i* fast filling up, with Mormons from all parts of the world. In a short time, she will pus-ess a suffi cient number of inhabitants to enable her 'o become a State. Asking admission with her " peculiar in stitu ion," Polygamy, how can the advocates of popular sovereignty object to this hideous tea ure ? [f other Stales may legalize " institutions'-' as de moralizing in their tendency, and equally calculat ed to shock the moral sensibilities of humanity, there can tie no consistency in denying to U >.h the sanction ola custom which is claimed as being justified by Biblical authority, and eminently pa marchal in its cliarac er. The advocate lor non interference by Congress in the Jomestic affairs of the S'at-'S, who would permit the e.v ension of Sla very, would be palpably guilty of inconsistency, if he raised an objection to the admission of Utah, because polyg nny was sanctioned by the religion and permuted by the laws of the State. NEW PAPER AT MONTROSE—Messrs C.F. READ and H.

Educa tion, Temperance, and all the great questions of he day, and which shall serve as a,medium for ex pressing the sentiments of the Republican or Free Soil party in Susquehanna County. Having formerly acted with opposing political parties, one of us having published a Democratic and the oilier a Whig paper in this county, we have seen old issues gradually disappear, and now find ing ourselves united in sentiment, we are willing to unite in action on the great questions thai agitate the countiy." To this end the politics oi the North is inevi ably lending. Party names may, for a short tune, in some degree retain their significance ; but paity leaders are fast losing their power, and the masses are iusing into one combination which shall beat enable them to carry out their principles and reals! those dangerous encroachments 60 fatal to the free institu ions of the country. Those who have a corn, mon aim in view, should have no hesitation to be found battling side by side, to promote their object. Certainly Northern Freemen may abjure party, as well aVSlaveholders ; and the political history ol the last few je its, tei.chts us that party organizations have 110 binding lotce with the latter, when it is not subservient to ihetr plans. 03" The speech of Louis KOSSUTH, which we publish this week, we consider one ol the best he ever made. It was delivered at the meeting held in cornmemora'ion of ifi9 Polish Revolu'ion oi 1830. It points out the errors committed by the Allies ao plainly, that ihere wonld be no mistaking them even it the progress of the war had not al ready demonstrated the tiuth of hi* positions and the foresight and sagacity of his previous ptedic tions.

The Result In Kansas- The recent election for Delegate in Congress from Kansas, has resulted in the success ol an ultra pro- Slavery man. The Slave holders in Missouri, un der the lead of Senator A THICSON have been busi ly engaged, during the last summer, in devising [dans to produce this result, and al<o to secute the election of a Legislature which shall legalize Sla very. Trial ihey will De successful, there can be scarcely be a doubt. Bordering on the Slare State of ilissouti, the leaders of the plots for the Exten sion of the peculiar institution have found no diffi culty iri enlisting men for (he purpose of controlling the election of Delega'e, and the same meau6 will suffice for the purpose of making their plans sue cesalul, w:.en the time arrives for choosing a Leg islature. It has been the favori'e and most plausible ex cuse of the Doughfaces, that the repeal of the Mis souri Compromise would have no practical effect upon the Extension of Slavey. That die territories of Kansas and Nebraska from their geographical position, from their climate anJ topography, were unsuited to Slavery, and that the institution "would not go there, even if the preponderance of ernigra tion should not be from the North. This was the argument of DOUGI.AS while making his excuses to the people of Illinois during the late canvass, which has resulted so disastrously to this fortunes Nay. it was even unblushingly asserwd that Freedom would be the gainer by that act, because it would not add one foot to our Slave Territory and would permit Freedom to go below the Missouri line.— This was the pretence of Northern Doughfaces, as an excuse lor their treachery; but Sou hetn men scorned such a subterfuge. They gave notice of an intention and expectation to make Kansas, at least, a Slave State. The result is now seen. The only course lefi for Freemen, is to meet the question boldly and squarely. To demand the re peal ol the act allowing Slavery to go into Kansas o re-enact a Compact which was sanctioned by thirty-three years acqniesaice—or f.iiiiug in that, to oppose to me last extremity the admission into the Union of any more Slave States The latter course, it) our judgment is prelerable. Let an expression be given, which the Nullifies arid Slavery Exten sionists cannot mistake, that no more Slave States are to be added to this Union, and we have clone with this everlasting plotting art 1 planning lor the perpetuation and expansion o! Slavery We should strike a blow which will prevent treachery to our dearest interests, by removing the rewards of it, and remove the ftui iul source ot that catering for Southern support which effl cts most or all ol our ambitious public tneu We are nimewhat anxious to see what couise our Northern supporters of DOUGLAS' iniquity will now take. Tt ey have been vehement in their denial of any desire to ex end Slavery they have been obstreperous in their professions that Slavery could never enter Kansas Will Ihey sanction die irilio duciion of the institution there, or will they seek some new excuse to cover their suppoi i ofthe plans of die Slaveholder ? They have ridiculed die op posi ion lo die Repeal ofthe Missouri Compromise as being impractical. I i what way will they now s-ek to hide the contusion anJ shame which awaits them ? Ihe principle of popular sovereignty" has been beau'ilully exemplified h | ij lt! p election for Djlecaie. The officers holding the polls were au thorized at their dikcrenoii to rej-ct votes; while in oilier instances bodies of armed Missouiians ap peared. and coeiced the offi eis to receive the votes of such persons as ihey dCated. and by threats of violence deterred o heis from ro'inu. Who can doubt that when the qucs ion of Slavery is to be decided, these platis will be further arrang ed and that '• popular vove tetgnl} " will be exem [♦hfied and enforced by bowie-knives and revolvers We qtio'ed sflbie weeks since, an extract irom die speech of Hon. G. A GROW, delivered last spring, containing a prophecy in regard ro the ef tect of i lie Repeal of die Missouri Compromise up on the fall elections That prophecy was fulfilled to the very leder. We now copy below another extract from the same speech.in which he considers what would be the result ol that nefarious act upon the cpiestion of extending Slavery The prescience exhibited in these remaiks will now be readily acknowledged. The sentiments expressed in that speech have alteady been passed upon by the people ol this District, and the verdict was such an unequivocal one of approbation as never before was awarded to any Member of Congress. The following are the remarks alluded to:— " But gentlemen tell us that Slavery cannot go there, by rea-on of climate and soil. There are to-day north of the parallel of 36° 30', eight hun dred and sixty-three thousand five hundred and eigh ty-nine slaves, being more than a fourth of all the slaves in the entire Union. If the climate and soil, and the laws of nature and God, will keep slaves out of Kansas, why have have ihey nor expelled it from Missouri. Kentucky, Virginia, Mary land, and Delaware, durina the two centuries since its first introduction there? With the same latitude, the same soil, and the same climate, the number of slaves has been constantly increasing in a || these States except Delaware and Missouri. What differ ences of climate and soil, what different laws of na ture and God, are to operate in the Territory of Kansas to prevent it from becomings Slave State, il this bill passes? But if slavery cannot go there, why repeal this act ? Why excite anew angrv sec tional feelings if nothing is to be accomplished by it? In my judgment if this bill passes, Kansas will become a Slav* State: and yet northern men are asked to effect this by a positive legislative act by their votes. If the Missouri act is constitutional what cause ofcomplaint can tnere he because we teiuse to repeal it? And while there is a tribunal that can annul it, why ask us to yield our convic tions on a controverted point?
