Gov- Kossuth'. remarks to the Gemmel at
their late mestiorate the Tabernacle are SO
weighty and pregnant that we print them en

• German citizens , of America in their position
citizens. Ide it, bedause the naturalized
Germane of Newark have expresaly asked me
to do so:- - They say that, since the origin . ' of
the Union, no Prestdenti4l eleition has had a_
higher significance than - the present. That, is
true. '
' They Say that the condition of Europe;
the voice of the majority . of the people, and
jaartiellacly . the interests of the United States,
render it Imperative necessity that the' '
courstrof peaked isolation. which has flintier
ly Prevailed' must be relinquished, and the
principle of active sympathy in the interns-' ',
tional relations of El:trope' be established:
Therein they are again right.
e- "They say, inereover,,that the platforms of
the two . greet pieties are deffeient, and do not'
eorrespond to the spirit Of the times—which:l
. is also true. ' •
"And.they say, finally, that they are resole
e 3 ill support those politics only, which, while
they will emancipate Earepe, will lead to the
imdaiing welfare
_of the United State.s: Now
this is a view which, if . I had the honor to be
a native American citizen, boundby no special
ties to Europe, and onle , arixious to determine I
my patriotic duty, I ,would take as me guide.
Ever-my enemies, Who heap me with cal
uniuies and stare jests, which - defile them but
not me, and who indulge in the most malig
mint perversion of my language, „cannot deny
that I have never spoken to the Germans in
Ittierica without saying ;that their first, and ho.
heat duty in America was to be Americans,
and that they should take the true interests of
• their adopted land,witheut regard to their per
penal feelings, as their guide. ;
- I say that to day, Virtue' is the besii of
Repablican Government, and there is no yir
tee which is not patriotic,. Betas matters now
etind philanthropy is the. only `rue American
pitriotisin. Selfish isolation is either a' shalt
righted. mistake, or an illusion and treason of
the`peasionae
"It is'a principle of thine never to mingle ,
with any internal question of this conetry—
and I shall not do it. •But ne one can regard
it as an offense to say that Europe is profound.
concerned in the restion, as to whatcourse
in re:earl -to the foreign policyof the country
and Germany and all Europe, are , the objects
of that policy.
" It is proper, therefore, to express meeviews
on that head. I
And since my views .of that question ern,
_brace the whole future Of Aelerica, and it is
thet question which is to give the mairedirec:.
Sion to the next administration, I say that the
way which American petriete have tr. choose
is clearly indicate.] by events. , They Must not
be led by party names Or party afffeities, but
by principles.' •
•• Naar, One party has already pronounced
Itself as openly hostile to that view of foreign
-policy which the German citizens of N. York
profess, and which I reprd eslthe on ly s a lute.
ry view for America; the,other'party has pass
ed it over in silence.
- "There is, then, nothing dubious here; the
„hestile declaration has alienated support—but
-silence leaves the matter so fir forth still open.
Should the.leading organs and leaders of the
victorious fractiori of the party; which declares
itself unfriendly, retract the hostile programme
—then the question of c Principle again recurs
—whieh - party will dech.re itself favorable?-
-But, as the matter is Idft by the Conventions,
--it ieclear that silence ie less unfavorable than
declared opposition.
• "None the less does it appe:er to me ?laces•
eury to let The silent party know that they can
_ not rest too confidently upon the logical tense=
- intawes of. this diicmina; for there is a third
•tentrse yet open, viz : that the German citizens,'
whoagree with theelerlaraticais made at New- ++
tick. may unite with a third independent party, or
- refrain . trom voting, and thereby prevent a di
-sect e.haico by the parties, end:throw the elec.-

-e insets:o;o'nel infleenewin thiechoice of Rep
-rosentatives in Congress, that , the supporters
if your policy there may stand as a solid Thee
`lane, to control the policy-of the Gevernment.
*Tato not say that these passive tactics are
• desirable, but that they are possible. •
It is the policy 'of those who - sword
with the Newark declaration, to make sure of
_an authentic interpretation of that silence, The
test relates to the principles which the leading
organs of that wing ,ef, the silent party which
was negatively triumphant' in the Convention
'will maintain. Will those organs truly assert
thesepriuciples and 6,e the support of their i
• e.:nadidates for them or not? Let them do that
.`and the problem is• &dyed as to which side'
oppressed Europe must wish the victory; but
if they do not do it—then.nothing remains but ,
to srit, the whole influence of the independent
petty, upon the Congressional election, and so
teen the balances in its hands." ,

Whereas, The Whig party, in their Platform

Eliliiarir Electioneering.
No'cireunastances or action of life, (says the
NeW York Herald, an' independent paper ! ) is
ealculatedlO, develop°. more fully, and bring
into more active play the qualities of the hu
man mind for generalship, ingenuity;ana tee.
tics; than the periodical return of , a great elec
tion, in Which national, party, and personal in
terests are an deeply involved.. It is en old
and recognized maxim that "everything is fair
in war;" but it seems the application of it has
quite as much strength and appropriateness in
regard to the bloodless, though, not spoillas,
conflict-of politics.
• Wo are led into these remarks by the con
duct of a certain section—the Seward peace
section—of the Whig party, , in the present
electioneering campaign, and by the facility,
duplicity and skill which they exhibit it adapt
ing themselves to circumstances, and convert
ing to their 'own purposes tho very thing. to
the existence of which they have been most
antagonistic. The politicians, journals, and
orators, at recent ratification meetings, seize
with` aviditkmd hold up . to popular admira
tion, the b ri lliant military services of their.
Presidential candidate, Winfield &Ott. They
extol his wisdom in counsel, his -prowess in
the field, and his humanity after victory; and
on these qualities build up their claims to the
support of thcrAnterican people at the polls
next November.
; They recount all the battles,
and sieges he has fought, and his "hairbreadth
'scapes in the imminent deadly breach," and
these they endeavor to make the scaling lad
den by which to ascend into the citidel of
powir. Lundy's Lane and Chippewa, and that
brilliant series of victories from Vera Cruz to
Chapultepec, areim-ehronicled, and dressed up
in the grandest terms of imagery, and given to
the admiring public in the speeches and wri
tiags of the orators and journalists, who en
deavor to make them. re.awalcen the popular
enthusiasm re-echo to the praiies and subserve
to the political aims of their great chieftain.
Now,till this laudation of General Winfield
Scott is, per se. perfectly appropriate and justi
fiable. His military achievements entitle him
lie the admiration and gratitude of his coun
t try. They aro written,on the page of histo
I rjr, and shed luAtre on the path of:this 'great
republic. Therefore, we would not seek to
take one leafjrom the laurel which encircles
his brow. But we do question the candor and
consistency of that particular party in relying
eolely on the military fame , of General Scott,
Or any other :candidate, to create a popular
hurrah in his favor, and to carry him into office
On the enthusiasm excited by the recollection
of his'glorious deeds. To' the warlike career
of this chieftain they only appeal, as being all
sufficient to secure his election by the votes of
the people;s and they are silent as to those
qualities of statesmanship ; which are now in
dispensable to the proper Aischarg,e of the
functions of the chief Mag,istrato of this re-
Public. They ;do not attempt to recommend
him on his civil qualities. They.make no dec
laration as to his political principles, or' what
bis administration will be, and do not feel au
thorized to disclose his views of public affairs,
but simply - confine - themselves to chaunting
*cans laudatry , of his genius O r ru d . bravery in
, ,•
' the field.
Now, in all, this there is a vast deal of insin
cerity and inconsiatency, howevermuch it may
tell for the, ingenuity and tactics of • the paity,
and for the ability with which they adapt them
' selves to , circ u mstances which arc even inimi
cal, in their nature.. It is very well known
that the party sifpporting General Scott oppo- ,
sed to the uttermost the policy.which: dictated
both the writs in which their present idol dis
tinitished himself.. 'The war of 'l l 3l2 . with
Great Britain, the results of which encompass
,of his broni with laurels derived from the , bat
tles-of Chippewa andltmdy's Lane,ari that
of Mexico; from which ho has been accorded
his nom deiuerre Cirpultepce," both
received ~020 most oPPosition and

It is . certainly gratifying to men of exalted
position to knoW, that, a time will come, the'
it bo not whllo they live, when justice will be
done to their puiposes and actions. I The 'life
of Henry Clay has been an eventftil and ad-
venturous' one. He inherited greatness from
the God that gave him being,—the path, along
which he has,blazed so brilliantly, ivas map
ped out by tho finger of Fate,—ho was born
`for the great -destiny ho bas flied, and has
_passed to the sleeper ' s long home, !mien with
honors, having impressed on the age his great
powers,—left a murk upon the history of the
Lworld as enduring a. time, and wreathed a
'halo of immortality around his own and the
name of his country. Berate the admirers of
Intellect, tloquence and Statesmanship, Hen
ry Clay will ever blaze brightly. For half a
century have his talents !mitred the: Atnerican
namee— r talents of which an angel: Might be
proud, and which every American will rever
ence, while, the achievements of greatness
shall be remembered 6r sung: But few such
men have over lived. How pioper then that
a nation should sorrow at his departure. His
star has blazed resplendent amid the greatest
constellation of Statesmen that have ever im
mortalized an age,—how fitting then that a
nation should sorrow. Ho has pasted away—
.. Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch
About him and lies down to pleasant dream .."
—how noble and generous then that a great
people should weep over his dust, load his
memory with honors and consecrate it with
pious oblations. -
We of course aro speaking of-Henry Clay as
a man—as a Statesman, and not as a politi
cian. Ho was one of the most ambitious men
of the nation, and, especially in his younger
days, his ambition led him along devious ways
and into paths of error. The great error of
hislife was when ho forsook Gen. lackson,on
tho Bank question and became the leader of
the opposition psrty. But for that, he would
long ago have been President of- these States:
From that time till his defeat in '44 he pursued
with the most untiring - energy, thel then great
ideas of a Bank, Protection and Distribution.
These were all repudiated by thO American
people,—their success would have been his,—
would have gratified his ambition to rule the
destiniCs of the nation.
His last efforts in the service_ Of his country
were_directed to still the dangerous agitation
of the slavery question, for which ho proposed
the Compromise measures, in nearly the same
form that they passed in separate bills. Since
'44 we believe all personal ambition has been
relinquished by Mr.. Clay, anti that every- act
of his life hasgeen directed for the .good, of
his country. A religious corivictiOn of right
was his—and every throb of his great heart
was full of patriotic devotion to his country.
He had no further selfish motive to gratify,—
his days were nearly numbered,—ho fanci •
his, country was in d.Lnger and again put on
the harneis, threw himself into the stormy
current, which has finally borne him away: to
the land of shadows. Great peace be his!

Bat now came ; the task of the night. It' „ was
suggested that the crowd move to the house
of Ur. Webster, which they did;. but Phe.P
they arrived there they were met by - ono of
the' marshals of the occasion; who. cried out,
” Mi.,Webster does not wish to bo disturbed."
The crowd Shouted in reply, "Who told you
so r and then called for Webster at the top
oftheir ,
voices. At last the sleeping "Defend
&of the Constitution"--the-report says with
no more covering than was • necessary for a
comfortable Sleep in'warm night—came to ,
, a
the window, and cipoke as follows:
~ • ,
"I thank you, fellow-citizens, for this friend
ly call. The Convention, at Baltimore, has
been engaged in the performance of an ardu
ous and difficult duty. Its-has so :happened,
from the influence Of. circumstances, that my
name has been used before them, in connection
with others. The choice, gentlemen;ltas fall
en upon anhther. In the selection which has
been made, I 'doubt not that the .Convention
have exercised their wisest and soundest dis
cretion. For myself, gentlemen, I remain un
changed—the same in charaeter,ptinciples and,
position. • : ~. • .
"Of one thing, gentlemen, I can assure.you,.
that no one amongst you 'will enjoy a sounder
night's sleep than I shall. I shall rise in the
morning, God willing, to •tbe performanc,e of
my duty, with the la rk; :and though I cannot
equal him in sweetness ,of song, he will not
Igreet the purpling east more Ppm

personal wishes er, feelings in the matter.—
You, gentlemen, can hardly err in your sense
of duty. With so many brilliant stars shining
above you, yell will not fail to . perceive the
way. Thanking you for this friendly atten
tion, and with my sincere wishes . for your
prosperity and happineta, I bid you good
night." • ,
After this the crowd dispersed, as well they
might. Not ;a word of the nomination; not
an allusion to General Scoit; not a single ex
hortation to the support of -the ticket! Mr.
Daniel Must hive been wofully disappointed,
and could not conceal his chagrin. ' Ho could
talk of the lark and the stars, and their own
sense of duty, hut on polities he was-mum.

We commend the following in an especial

of a pupil in one of the Manchester Schools.
If the boys thus early begin to manifest inter

we not expect froethe young men and veter
an fathers of Democracy! !Fierce• and King

MI. /mos:—l have heard it asked, "'Who

anecdote, related by - my preceptor before my
class some twelve months since, will tend to
wards an answer, so far as it goes : . •
Daring the hottest part of, the great - battle
which closed bur 3lexican war, and admitted
our heroes to the "Halls of Montezumas,"
Gen. Pierce having routed the legions„ where
he had beensiig,hting, hastened with his-com
mand to the assistance of (I believe) Gen. P.
F. Smith, when the following laconic dialogue
ensued:

Excuse me, Mr. Editor, for wanting to give
others the pleasure of reading what pleased
me-so much, before I knew the political views
of Gen. Pierce. I am riot yet 13-years old,

of June, 1837—a few months after his release
—he was convicted of stealing for the fourth
tithe,and locked ifp for two years.. On the

himself three years this time) ho was convict
odor stealing for thesixth time, and sentenced
