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. Mine is the advice—yours is the
choice.

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

number making its appearance about the Ist of

lican As Mr. F. is now one of the editors of the

by lite new one. la theirprospectus, the edi'ors

"Our object is to furnish a paper which shall be
independent, Republican, ugh', on Slavery. 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.

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

Allies ao plainly, that ihere wonld be no mistaking

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?

NEW COPPER COIN—The new cent pieces will
be inued from the Philadelphia Mint in the course
of a few days. They are considerably smaller than

face is plain and polished. The reverseis die same
in design as the old cent, but brighter and much
more finished. There is a certain amount ol alloy
OT ied with the copper, and the perfection ot the
die gives to the coin a finish and elegance that has
never heretofore been attained in our copper coin
age The new coin will be universally welcomed
, as a neeJed and creditable improvement.

lempts to deceive himself or others, and. ' here fore,

tains them Tiiere is noi a better specimen of A

who has more earnestly at the heart the best IN
teresis ot the people and the success of democratic
principles,. Personally amiable and un>elh-h, and
wuh no aspirations for power and place, why N
he ;hus ASSAILED by those with whom he has acted
in 'he past 1
Simply because he w ill not sacrifice his convic

TO life-long professions of at achrnenl IO republican
theone. and principles. And yet this man able,
experienced truthful arid patriotic, whose life HAS
been unselfishly devo'ED to the public service, and
who ha no higher ambition than to aid the DEMO

of I s niis*i, is unceremoniously read of the I!e
