■Kossuth Coming West*
On Thursday last a delegation from Cincin
nati, acoompamed by tho Mayor of the city,
waited upon Governor Kossuth, and invited him
to visit the “Queen City of the West” In reply
to an address delivered by Mr. Algernon Sidney
Sullivan, the distinguished Magyar announced
that he would go to Cincinnati in a fow days
We are really glad to hear this. As it is pro
bable Kossuth will pass through Pittsburgh, we
would respectfully suggest to our citizens the
propriety of making arrangements to give him
a cordial and enthusiastic greeting. In a move
ment of this description all parties and all patri
ots can unite.
Pittsburgh and. Steubenville Railroad
Shortly after the publication of tho prelimi
nary report of the Engineers on the Pittsburgh
and Steubenville Railroad, an article over tho
-Signature of “X. X.,’ appeared in the Phila
delphia North. commenting on the re
port and the prospects of the Rood generally.—
Prom the general tone of the firet paragraph, it
rnt<fht be inferred that the writer was friendly to
the project, though on a close inspection, even
that seems to contain a spico of gentle, harmless
sarcasm; but the succeeding portions exhibit
rather an unfriendly fooling. We now propose
to reply to that article, commencing with the
concluding sentence of the first paragraph, which
runs thus?
14 There are both capital and enterprise at
Pittsburgh to carry it through; and we under
stand it to bo the fixed determination to accom
plish it, with or without a charter from Virgi
nia.”
It would be presumed from this, if it was cor*
I reot, that the Company had resolved to make a
I Railroad across Virginia territory, m spito of
i the State of Virginia. But this does not place
: the Company in a fair attitude before tbo pabhc.
•They hare adopted no such resolution. It is
true, that they have heretofore endeavored,
without success, to obtain aohorter through the
few miles of Virginia territory to be occupied by
the Road; and they have also obtained from the
Individual owners of lands, deeds for the right of
way; and some legal gentlemen have expressed
the opinion that they could construct it without
a charter from Virginia; but the Company cer- 1
tamljpyet look for, and expect to obtain charter* i
cd rights from the Btate of Virginia, not only
for the nght of way, bat for the construction of
tho Steubenville Bridge.
The second paragraph sayß : “Tho report of
the Engineers proves most conclusively that
there is no physical impossibility cither in the
construction of the Road or that of a bridge
over tho Ohio at Steubenville. We never sup*
posed, indeed, that any such difficulty existed.
The only doubt on the subject of the practicabili
ty of this scheme whioh has ever been entertain*
ed in Philadelphia, arises from the fact that the
Rood must pass over some six or seven miles of
Virginia territory, and will require a bridge
I across the Ohio, which must rest on Virginia
' soil— while no charter hag been granted by that
State either for the Road or bridge. The report
does not discuss this particular difficulty, and we
suppose, therefore, that the Company attach no
importance to the sovereign pretensions of Vir
ginia.” The italics are in the original article.
In this paragraph, the unfriendly bias of tho
-writer’s mind is unmistakeable. Bat it is not
thati chiefly, to which we would call attention.
-Tho assertion, that no doubt existed in Philadel
phia, except on the moral ground Btated, may
coincide with X.’b own views, but it does not
correspond at all, with those which have been
expressed by other Philadelphians before the
publication of the Engineer’s report referred to.
On this very point, a writer in the North Amer
ican over the signature of “ T,” claiming also
to represent the views of Philadelphians, speak
ing of the Pittsburgh and Steubenville Road,
says: “But the surface of the country to be
traversed would seem to forbid the hope that
i such a route could be obtained with moderate
gradients; while the heavy>cost that it must en
counter, in crossing the Ohio and Monongahela
rivers, to conncot with the Pennsylvania and
Central Ohio-Railroads, mast make it, in com
parison with other routes, a doubtfuhnvestment;
and without such connections, any competition
with the river route would be hopeless.*' Here
is not one word about the moral difficulty—the
charter from Virginia. It is entirely physical
and pecuniary. And yet even in this same arti-
ole by. “ T,” m the very next paragraph, the
writer referß most complacently to the connec-
tion with Cincinnati, by the Bempfitld route,
•without a word about the heavy cost of enconn-
:enng,not only the Ohio ondMonongohela, bul
m addition thereto, the Yonghiogheny These
aremconsistenoies, certainly, and only go to
show how the minds of the writers happened to
be UamngraA- the-tame they wrote. So much for
the statement that Philadelphians only dreaded
the mojral.'difficulties;
lathe second paragraph of X. X., it cannot
hut beobserved that the 'writer seems to exult
f-in the idea that « no charter has been granted
by Virginia-either for the road ortho bridge,”
which he italicised.' Now it does not follow
that heciuse it haanot been, that it may not be
obtained, or that it Is not to be obtained Nor is
it amatter o'f the least consequence, that the En.
gincers, in their preliminary report, did not
think proper to discuss that subject "But it is
fair to conclude, “ therefore,” as doeß X. X,,
<* that the Company attach no-importance to the
Inst
and ne argument >?». ~
The third .paragraph-; says:—“The: report
gives usibut Httle information touching tho mode
of bridging the Ohio at Steubenville, or the Mo
nongahela at Pittsburgh/’ Was it necessary m
such a preliminary document? “ But it is very
full and satisfactory on the imperfections of the
Hempfield road. and the Wheeling bridge, to
both of which it would seem to be rather hos
tile. We regret this very much. Worlra pos
sessing such merit as is claimed, (and, we
doubt not, justly,)-for the Steubenville road,
and the Steubenville bridge, have no cause to be
jealous of the prosperity of a neighboring enter
prise. There is room in the West for both these
works. Philadelphia has an interest in both.”
Very true, there maybe room for both; but the
friends of the Hempfield line have thus far tried
hard, by fair and unfair statements and meaus.
to prostrate the hopes of the Steubenville road,
and opinion, m the Engineer s report re
ferred to, in the comparison of the physical ad
vantages and disadvantages of* the two lines, the
frtendß of the Hempfield route have no just rea
son to complain. But the writer goes on to
say:—“Philadelphia has an interest in the
Hempfield road and Wheeling bridge, because
they are intended to lead travel to her doors
and trade to her wharves, and because they are
chartered works, and therefore under tbe protec
tion of the laws of tbe State where they arc
found. She will have an interest also in the
sucoess of the Steubenville road and Wheeling
bridge, whenover Virginia authorizes their con
struction.” Tho italics again belong to X. X.
By this time we think n. is pretty clear that X.
X. is a Hempfield route advocate , and it was
scarcely worth his article, or their article, (for
the plural we is used throughout,) to endeavor
to create the impression that he was some dis
interested Philadelphian. It looks too much of
a piece with all that has been going on in oppo
sition to tbe Pittsburgh and Stenbenvillo road,
from tho Hempfield quarter, for months past
“Cost what it may, the Hempfield road must
bo built- We cannot contest the trade of the
Southwest and Jfaltimore without it. Here are
two bold assumptions. The first, that it must
be built at any cost, we leave to take care of it
self- The second, that “ Philadelphia cannot
contest tho trade of tho Sonthwcst with Balti
more without it, is disproved in tho veiy re
port X- X- was commenting on, and which, con
stitutes one of its strongest points. That point
is, that tho route from Philadelphia through
Pittsburgh and Steubenville to Columbus. Ohio ;
is better cheaper and shorter, than by the Wheel
ing route ; and patronises Philadelphia 8 own
road from Grcensburg to Pittsburgh.
Tbe last paragraph of X. X. is follows : *■ The
IA&OFtiCHE a IT?..
WM. DOCK, Chairman
Steubenville road and Steubenville bridge can
be cheaply baOt; and, therefore, doubtless, will
be built by Pittsburgh without a charter for ei
ther.
Another small fling:—“ But it .would never do
for Philadelphia to rest her claim to the com
merce of the West exclusively upon works un
authorized by the state in which they He. We
have a chartered line through and
across the Ohio by the Wheeling bridge. We
must bold on to that If, in addition, we can
get the line to Steubenville, that will be so moch
clear gain. We wont both.”
Still harping on my daughter. But is St so
clear, that they have a charter for a railroad
bridge at Wheeling at all ? Ib it clear, that even
if the Supreme Court should decide that the pre
sent common road bridge may stand at its pre
sent height, that the bridge from the Island to
the Ohio side may not bo declared a nuisance?
It would bo well for X. X. to look into this point
a little. If he is a resident of Philadelphia, he
had better inquire into the terms of the
Charter- granting that bridge, and see whether
they have been complied with. There arc two
sides to the Ohto river, os well as two sides to
the Railroad qaestiou, and if there are to be
Railroad bridges across the Ohio river, the
States concerned must work in harmony.
One of the most important districts of Ohio
grants a railroad bridge at Steubenville, and a
railroad connection with Pittsburgh, and with
Philadelphia and Baltimore. lifthat district to
be told, that it must first go down to WhepHng.
and then up to Pittsburgh? Or that to get to
Philadelpba it must go 27 miles further round to
pass through Wheeling, and Hempfield Township.
it is ndicoloaß.
It matters not what all the carpers at the
Steubenville route may say, there xdll be n finan
cial question of cost, to stand alongside of tbo
moral question of right of way, which in the end
may ensure largely to the benefit of the Sten
bcnville route.
The discussion of the question can do no harm
at all events, if it gives the public a fair in-
sight mto the merits of ail the lines proposed.
Emancipation in Tbnkbssbb. —A bill is before
the Tennessee Legislature, which requires the
owner of a slave, who desires to emancipate
him, to first place at the disposal of the Circuit
Court a fund sufficient to transport the slave to
Africa, and support him six months after ho
reaches that country; and upon this being done
by the(owner, or by any negro now free, the
Jadgo is to notify the Governor, who will im
mediately send him to some seaport to be trans
ported.
Legislating fob Railuoads. —The Vermont
Legislature are willing that the cars shall go by
steam, but not the conductors. So they passed
an act at the late session which forbids the em
ployment of conductors, engineers, brakemen,
or switchmen, '‘who shall make use of intoxi
cating liquors as a beverage,” and the'employ
ment of such a person exposes the company to
a fine of $3OO to $3OOO, besides being liable for
damages that may resnlt.
Death of a Distenobished Man. —The Hon.
Joel R. Poinsett, Secretary of War under Mr.
Van Bnren, died at his residence at Btatesburg,
S. C., on the 12th inst., in the 73d year of his
age. Mr. Poinsett was a native of Charleston,
and served in the South Carolina Legislature
and in Congress, and subsequently as Minister
to Mexico, where, on a memorable occasion, he
so boldly upheld our national flag, that the art
of painting has perpetuated the incident. Du
ring tho days of nulifleation, he was the leader
of the Onion party in South Carolina.
German Emigration to America. —The Im
perial Gazette of Austria regards the emigration
of Gormans to America, now taking place, as a
great evil. It states the number that emigrate
annually at 80,000; and considering that, at
present, persons possessed of capital arje fre
quently. found among them, it thinks that sever
al millions thus go. out of the country every
year.
Famine in the Lake Superior Copper Re
gion.—Acoounts from the copper mining region
confirm the fears that great distress would be felt
there in consequence of the early closing of nav
igation. Many mines have been abandoned for
want of food. Marquette was supplied after hav

to any station congenial witli his feelings; yet
we may be permitted also to say, that, so far as
it respeots the gratification of onr personal
wishes as citizens, and the valuable aid which he
will render to the Democracy of Allegheny coun
ty, we are truly pleased to hear'thathe has con
cluded to remain in Pittsburgh. We are inclined
to believe that the high talents of Col. S., and
his great legal erudition, will insure fo:him, ere
long, a most valuable practice;—and he is so
well known in the State, that his political standr
ing cannot be injuriously effected by his present
location.
Speaker of the Senate*
Messes. Editors :—As the time for the meet
ing of the State Legislature is approaching, the
friends of numerous gentlemen are mentioning
their names in connection with the different
positions of honor and profit that are to be filled.
In this connection, allow me, as a reader of
your valuable paper, to suggest the name of
Hon. John W. Guernsey, ofTioga County, as a
suitable person for Speaker of the Senate. His
legislative experience—bis unflinching adhe
rence to principle—his suavity of manner, —all
combine to make him the man for the place.
He hails too, from a section of the State that is
entitled to some consideration, on account of its
radical democracy. Should he be elected, the
Speaker’s chair would be filled with honor to
the occupant and credit to his constituents.
To the Editors of the Pittsburgh Post:
Sirs —As a member of the Allegheny County
Agricultural Society, I feel highly gratified in
seeing the Pittsburgh press so ready and willing,
at all times, to publish all matters relating to
the said Society, as well as other matters rela
tive to the science of Agriculture, and as our
annual election takes place on the 7th of Janua
ry, 1852, in the Court House, at 10 o’clock A.
M., far the election of a President, Vice Presi
dent, Treasurer, Recording Secretary, Corres
ponding Secretary, and a Board of Managers of
thirteen members; as our citizens, manufactur
ers and fanners seem to have taken on interest
in the welfare of this Society, it is but right that
public notice should be given of said election, so
that all members, and those wishing to become
members, should attend, as it is of tbe utmost
importance that suitable persons be elected for
all those offices. I will ventare to predict that,
if we elect energetic officers for the ensuing year,
that our nert Annual Fair will be second to none
in tho-United States.
I am not officially authorized to lay this before
you ;—it is a desire to forward the interests of
the Society that makes me do so. And if you
will give this an insertion in your daily paper,
oud also one in your weekly, you will greatly
oblige, Yours, respectfully,
A FARMER.
M esses. Editors : --Tbepublio of late have been
somewhat amused, though not in the least en
lightened, with regard to the merit or demerit
of the contending parties; each one going in for
the whole prey and nothing less. Mr. Duff as
serts that Mr. Chamberlain is incompetent to
teach Book-keeping and Arithmetic, &c. Bat
supposing this to bo the cose, Mr. Duff has no
right to say that he himself is the only man in
the city who is competent to teach these ab*tna e
science# / / On the other hand, Mr. O. KL Cham
berlain, in reference to a certain man, says, that
it was in his College he acquired the knowledge
which places him in his present position. Both
these assertions I positively deny. As to Mr..
0. K- Chamberlain's assertion, tho young man
to whom he alludes, was taken from ray school,
and in a few days after, was installed I*rofeasor
of Mercantilo Computation, and Arithmetic, &c.
As to Mr. Duff, his language is too insulting to
pass unnoticed.. He ought to be content with
his share of the prey ; and it may be that he is
getting more than be is entitled to. Now, to
give the community on opportunity of judging
for themselves, I take this opportunity of in
forming Mr. Duff and Mr. 0. R. Chamberlain,
that they have offered gross insults to their pro
fessional brethren; and I, as one of the injured
party, do hereby require Mr. Duff or Mr. 0. K.
Chamberlain to substantiate thoir claims to su
preme dominion, by meeting me at any appoint
ed time, and place In the presence of competent,
disinterested judges, where it will be proven to
the publio whether either of the above named
gentlemen, or I, am more competent to teach
Arithmetic and Book-keeping, &c. The van
quished party to pay to his opponent any sum
agreed on—from ten to one hundred dollars.
Time and place of meeting tb bo appointed by
the judges, who are to be named by us. An an
swer is required in a day or two.

Sound Sentiments.
While we condemn the conduct of those whig
papers that aro doing all they oon to injure the
cause of freedom, by assailing Koßsuth, we hold
it to be no moro than justice to noto particularly
all acts of a contrary character by the whig
press. We were right glad to read the following,
whioh occurs in a letter from Washington writ
ten by the editor of the Boston Atlas:
We live in a remarkable age, and are fast be
coming the leading nation of the Earth ; and are
we to withhold an expression of sympathy from
those, who in lands bound down by the chains
of despotism, rise up to assert the rightaof man,
and sanotity by their blood, on the battle field
and on the eoalfold, if needs be, their love of lib
erty and their abhorrence of tyranny ? Perish
the thought I Ido not go for interference with
European polities, to an unlimited extent, but I
do go for the adoption of a policy whioh will do
something for the great cause of Universal Lib
erty. We are bound to do it, and it is our des
tiny. Let America and England speak, as the
people of those lands think and feel, and before
many years the miserable tyrants of Austria
and Naples, and even Russia, will be forced to
pay some regard to popular rights. There are
men who may sneer at these doctrines, and who
hide themselves' like a tortoise in their shell, but
they know little of the pulsations of the popular
heart of America, if they suppose that a cold
indifference to the efforts of men in other lands,
wishing to be free, and who stand forth as the
patriots who peril all for Liberty, is to be main
tained in this Ropubllo.

A Resolution of Welcome to Louis Kossuth.
Resolved by the Senate and House of Repre
sentatives of the. United States ,of America, in
Congress assembled, rhat Congress, in the.name
and behalf of the President of the United States,
give to Lotus Kossuth a cordial welcome to the
capitol of the country; and that a copy of the
resolution be transmitted to him by the Presi

This case is progressing in the Superior Court
in New York city. The testimony in behalf of
the lady had all been'submitted in the course of
Wednesday, the 17th, and Mr. Van Buren open
ed for Mr. Forrest. The, attempt to prove nu
merous acts on the part of the husband seems
to have failed' altogether. And now is to be
witnessed the no less humiliatiiig speotaele of
the husband attempting to prove the infidelity
of the wife. Verily the whole thing is moßt dis
graoefnl, and could never have occurred but by
the foroe of circumstances, which has impelled
both on. In the opening of Mr. Von Boren, he
went over the whole grohhid of Mr. Forrest’s
grievances as contained in his petition to the
Legislature of Pennsylvania. The intimacy of
Mrs. F.'with Mr. Jamieson-was referred to, and
the Conßuelo letter was particularly dwelt upon
to show the lady.’s, falsity to her'lord. ; The
counsel spoke of the doings at the house of Mr.
F. in New York, daring his absence, by a : oer
tain literary coterie, &c.

The Presidency—Sleeting of the Free 801 l
The Free Soil General Committee met last
evening for. the purpose of making arrangements
for the approaching Presidential campaign.
They agreed to recommend the holding‘ of a
National Convention at Pittsburgh, after the,
conventions of the Whig and Democratic -parties,
hod taken place, for the purpose <sf ■ nominating
a suitable candidate for the Presidency.
Among the most prominent named for that
office are MessTS.: Dix; of • New ’ York; Hale, of
New Hampshire; and Giddings, of Ohio.
A Not fob thk Geologists. —Hiram Do Witt,
of this town, who has re .eci’y .returned from
California, brought with him a piece of the auri
ferous quartz rook, of about the size of a man’s
fist. On Thanksgiving day it was brought out
for exhibition to a friend, when it accidentally
dropped upon the floor; and split open. Near
the center of the mass was discovered, firmly
imbedded in the quartz and slightly corroded,
a ait iron nail, of ■the size of a six-penny nail.
It was entirely straight, and had a perfect head.
By whom was that nail made f At what period
was It planted in the yet uncrystaiized quartz ?
How came it in California ? If the head of the
nail oonld talk, we should know something more
of American history than we are ever likely to
know. —Springfield (Mass.) Republican.
A Democrat.
BSSi-The best account that we have seen'of the
speeches made by the Nullifiers in the late State
Convention, and of their reception by the Onion
Democrats, is contained in a letter'published in
the Brandon Republican. It is embodied in a
short speech made the Rev. Jons A. Butleß, an
eminent preacher, and one of the Onion Demo
cratio representatives from Monroe. In reply
to a Nullifying delegate* who was claiming to be
a Democrat, he observed:
** Yon talk like Jacob, but you are hairy like
Esau ; and, until l am as blind os Isaac, you can
not cheat me out of my birthright.” A more
telling reply we have not heard of lately,
Ths Armament or South Carolina. —lt ap
pears by tbo report of the Ordnance Department
to the South Carolina Legislature, thatthe State
contracted for 32 twenty-four pounders, 8 ten
inch mortars, and 8 four-inch Beige howitzers.
Most of these have been finished and inspected,
and all were to be ready by the 15tfa of Decem
ber. The contract for small arms, was for 8,000
muskets, 1,000 rifles, 1,000 pairs of pistols, 1,000
sabres, and 1,000 artillery swords. The delivery
of these arms in January, 1852, and to be com
