selves and take vengeancein their own hands,
their purpcso'was strengthened and from one
end of the nation4o the other went, up the cry
of" Liberty or Death." A leader only was.
wanting., Kossuth was again thrown into
prison, but instead of breaking and subduing
his spirit,-his sufilrings. lent-firmness to his
Jjon-heart. When he was finally released, he
came forth like the guardian-angel of' his coun
try, hailed with the most rapturous delight by
his ohole.periple, who flocked nronn'd him as
the minister of venggance, and urged him still
further onward in, the Work of their redemp t
tion. 0! what a, day was that for Hungary,
when iinntediately after the French Revola
tion, the great Kossuth resolved to stake the
fate Of his nation;on the field of blood, and
meet in unequal contest the serried ranks of
his country's oppressor,—to unfarl the flag of
Freedom in the. heart of kuropean despotism,
"And swear by that to live, by that to die."
Bravely they fought,—" ivith all the strength
that madness_ lends the weak,"—they drove
the red-Landed oppressor, defeated and dia..
mayed, from the contest. At that ;moment,
whil.n all the world looked on with breathfess
interest, when Kossuth and his dauntles com
patriots were about ; to wipe their i dripping
swords and , slog
-an orison of ,joy that their
country was restored to her ancient freedom,
a second Arnold appeared in their midst,—the
frozen heart of Russia—frozen to all, the` np
peals of Humanity—interfered to crush every I
Hope, and Kossuth escaped but with his life
to the realm of the Sublime Porte. From
thence -he was taken to England by the inter
vention of our government, and now, illustri
ous Esilo ! he has 70.0ied
'The land of the free and the home of the
brave."
Louis Kossuth is now, undoubtedly, the
greatest man that lives. A thronelessexile,he
is to-day, more,powerful than all the crowned
heads of Europe conthiner:Lle is more poW
erful because he is armed with a principle that
is . deep seated in the hearts of men all over
the world, and his indomitable will, untiring
energy and charming eloquence will do the
the work of countless bayoneti. His tante,
deeds and cause have already convulsed Eu
rope and are echoing round the world. The
subjects of all European govennnents have
been awakened froin their lethargy, the great
mass of men,—the millicms,—heitr and areelec
trified,--their very souls are full of rebellion;
and no force can crush out or smother it: 7 -
Nothing can satisf)%. but the restoration, by the
hand_of Royalty, of the long usurped rights of
man. When such a spirit asis sweeping over
the world now, imparted from such 'a- man as
Kossuth, roots itself in the heart of the pop
ular mind as this is= becoming rooted, it ean
never, nerer'be eradicated. '•.
. Force may smother it for a while,--more
freedom may be reluctantly granted by the
hand :of Royalty as -expedients- to appease
popular clamor, but the spirit, i3t•Liberty is at
work and more will be demanded, till one uni
versal demazid by the masses, who. are so fast
learning their righti), will sweep as with the
besom o'f Omnipotence the name of Despotism
from the 'world. . Ile el ementsitie all at Work
and the time fast hastening on.'- The 'storm
has long been gathering, and the master spirit
of Kossuth has raised the tempest to-a height
from which it seems jest ready to burit open

TRIAL Or WASHINGTON CnrrzEn.-- r -The
trial of Washington Critzer, of Mifflin county
for shooting John Hines, of Luzern co., at the
lock below Harrisbnrgh, on the 16th of Sep,
tember, took place at Harrisburgh on Wednes.
day last, which resulted in the acquittal of
Grazer. The indictient was for manslaught
er. Several witnesses were examined as to
the manner in which the unfortunate occur
rence happened, all of whom proved that Critz
er acted in self-defence; that he did not fire
the pistol until after he was in , the cabin of
his own boat, and had done everything in his
power to prevent Hines from pursuing him in
to the cabin. It was also proven • that Hines
was a dangerons quarrelsome fellow, and-that
ho had made numerous threats that he would
shoot or kill Critzer when he met him; and
that he (Critzer) had frequently been warned
to keep a look out for Hines.
Noximc has yet" been done in Con-
gress of any moment, save the passage of
Mr. Seward's Resolution extending a natio

But if the value of cotton exported for
