    days of calm reflection to beeome acquaint
ed with the ground upon which I stand—
let me take the kind advice of some ac
tive friends on the most practical course
I have to adopt—let me see if there be any I
preparatory steps taken in favor of that,
cause which I have the honor to represent;
and then let me have a new opportunity to
expound before you my humble requests
in a practical way. I confidently hope,
Mr. Mayor, the corporation and citizens
of the Empire City will grant me the sec
ond opportunity. If this be your gener
ous will then let me take this for a boon
of happier days; and let me add, with a
sign of thanksgiving to Almighty God, that
it is your glorious country which Provi
dence has selected to be the pillow of free
dom, as it is already the asylum of oppress
ed humanity.
• I am told that I will have the high hon
or to review your patriotic militia. Oh,
Geer how my heart throbs at the idea to
see this gallant army enlisted on the side
of freedom against despotism—the world
would be free, and you the saviours of hu
manity. And why not these gallant men
take part in the mighty demonstration of
the day, proving that I was right when I
said that now-a-days even the bayonets
think. Citizens of New York, it is under
your protection that I place the sacred
cause of freedom and independence of Hun
gary.

37 - Graham's Magazine for January,
1852, in all its glory and beautiful as the
lilies of the valley is before us. The em
bellishments are exquisite, consisting of
the "Pet Fawn," "Art Literature and
Fashion," and "Paris Fashions." Its
pages are filled with choice reading matter,
both in poetry and prose, from our best
writers. It promises greater attractions
than ever for the next year. Price $3.00
a year—the pictures are worth more than
the money.
tErWe have received the first number
of "The Plow," an agricultural periodical
published monthly in the city of New York,
at the exceedingly low price of fifty cents
a year in advance. It is devoted to the
interests of agriculture, with several plates
representing implements of husbandry and
fine varieties of live stock. Published at
152, Fulton street, N. Y. The present
number contains upwards of thirty pages.
0:7" The proprietors of the Independent
Whig have bought out the Union & Tri
bane, Lancaster, and employed Edward
M'Pherson as its editor. His efficient and
Ole connection with the Harrisburg Daily
American, is a sufficient guaranty that his
new post will be well maintained.
METHODIST STATISTICS.—The minutes
of the , last annual Conference of the Meth
odist Church North, just published, state,
s o oording to the synopsis of the Christian
Adv,leate, the total number of members in
regular standing, to be 721,814—an ip-
HOW 0, 1 ;2, 132 during the, last year.
Doings in Congress.
After a considerable discussion, the Sen
ate has finally passed the following resolu
tion —"That the Congress , of the United
States, in the name and in behalf of the
people of the United States, give Louis
Kossuth a, cordial welcome to the capitol
of the country." This has been the prin
cipal, subject before Congress, together
with its consequences—the spread of lib
erty throughout the world.
Mr. Foote made a speech on his com
promise resolutions, but it is thought that
they are uncalled for, and will not pass.—
Mr. Cass offered a resolution, calling on
the President fqr information in relation to
the firing into the American ship Prome
theus by the British vessel of war Ex
press near Greytown, on the Muaquito
coast, in November last, which passed the
Senate. If Britain dont quit her "rus
ties" in that quarter we will declare war
against her. She meddles entirely two
much with other people's business.
The House has appointed her commit
tees. Huston of Alabama is the Chairman
of the Committee of Ways and means.—
Several bills have been introduced gran
ting lands to make *treads in sundry
States. Petitions have been presented to
establish a line of Steamers between Cali
fornia and China. There has been noth
ing done so far of great interest to the
public.
Christiana Treason Trial.
In the case of the United States vs.
Castner Hanneway indicted for treason a
verdict has been rendered for the defend
ant. He had a fair and impartial trial
and there was no show of case against him.
Judge Grier laid down the law of treason,
to the jury as it is, and ought to be, in
fine contrast with the partial, monarchical
and tyranical doctrines given in charge to
the Grand Jury by Judge Kane. He
saw proper at that time to garble the con
stitution and leave out important words
which it uses in the definition of treason,
for the purpose of having bills found cer
tainly against the prisOners. Judge Grier
has done his duty faithfully in spite of
the State of Maryland, who speared in her
sovereign capacity to prosecute.
British Periodicals
We call the attention of our readers, to
the advertisement, in another column, of
Leonard Scott & Co., Republishers of the
London Quarterly, Edinburg, North Brit
ish and Westminster Reviews, and Black
wood's Magazine. These different works
are republished directly after their receipt
in this country from the British Press, for
distribution to American readers.
The Edinburg Review has been estab
lished for near a half century and is the
exponent of the Whig party in Great Brit
ain, and advocates with great force the
inalienable rights of man.
The London Quarterly Review was af
terwards started to counteract its great in
fluence. It is the organ of the Tory par
ty and its pages are adorned with the pro
ductions of the highest British talent.
The Westminster Review is under the
patronage of the ultra-liberals, and is de
voted to the advocacy of the interests of
the mass of people and opposed to the alli
ances of Church and State.
The North British Review was estab
lished in consequence of the great ecelesias-
I deal movement in Scotland, as the organ
of the Anti-National-Church agitation.—
Its basis is the evangelism of the Nine
teenth Century. It was founded by the
celebrated Dr. Chalmers.
Blackwood's Edinburg Magazine is more
comprehensive in the range 6f its subjects,
including classical literature, biography,
naratives historical and fictitious, poetry,
critical analyses of new works. Its poli
ties are Tory, but its pages are brilliant
with genius. By arrangement with the
British Publishers early sheets of the Mag
azine are forwarded to the American Pub
lishers, that they can issue their reprint
before the original edition arrives. These
contain the popular novels of bulwer in
series, as originhl contributions and which
appear in this magazine before being other
wise published. Tho serials of other dis
tinguished writers appear in it also.
The beginning of the New year is the
most suitable time to subscribe. For re
duced
rates of postage see advertisement.
These periodicals stand at the bead of
the literature of the English language.

Tr At a meeting of a number of the
citizens of Barree and adjoining townships,
held at the house of Samuel Coon, in
Saulsburg, on the 9th Deo., 1851, the fol
lowing resolutions were unanimously adopt
ed:
Resolved, That a general meeting of the
inhabitants of the region of country in
which a number of fires, destructive of
much valuable property, have lately taken
place, (supposed to have been the work of
an incendiary or incendiaries) be called to
devise means to put an end to this work of
destruction; and that said meeting take
place at the house of Samuel Coen, in
Saulsburg, Barree township, on Tuesday,
23d Dec 1851, at 10 o'clock, A. M.
Resolved, That the proceedings of this
meeting be published in the Huntingdon
Globe and Journal.
J. WALKER, Pres't.
JOSEPH GIBBONY, Seery.
MR. VirEBSTER.-A Washingston cor
respondent of the Boston Courier says:—
" Mr. Webster will not withdraw from the
cabinet, as has been affirmed. The pres
ent state of our foreign relations demands
hie presence at Washington, and it is the
desire of the prominent men of all parties
that he should remain. Mr. Webster him
self feels' that, however desirable retire
ment would be to him, this is not the mo
ment to withdraw from the government.—
There is to be another "talk," if not some
thing more serious, with the government,
concerning the rights of American vessels,
and particularly upon the recent firing in
to the steamer Prometheus at Nicaragua.
THIEVING.—This is the season for poul
try stealing, one of the meanest acts next
to robbing a church. The contemptible
fellows who resort to this crime because
they are too lazy to work for an honest
livelihood, deserve to be stuck on top of
the farmer's barn as a weather-cock, and
be fed on nothing but stale bread. The
Montgomery Ledger thinks, such men can
not have souls larger than the little end of
nothing whittled down to a point.
[ l ll' IS SAID that the President has
sent a naval force to Nicaragua to protect
our vessels. For some time past the Eng
lish have been pursuing a high-handed poli
cy in Nicaragua, and if they pursue it fur
ther, a few round shot, and a shell from a
Yankee long torn, will settle the question.
The fact is there is entirely too much tame
ness in our authorities at Washington, to
suit the times.
A SZIMOE OF PLATE.—We learn that
the employees on the Pennsylvania Rail
road are making the neccessay arrange
ments to present to Harman Ilaupt, Esq.,
a service of silver plate on retiring from
the office of General Superintendent of the
road. His resignation takes efect on the
Ist of January.
IN DISTRESS.—Widow Mary Bowen,
wife of the late Rev. James Bowen? of
Mount Carmel, Illinois, is in great distress
on account of the absence of her son, Fran
cis Bowen. No tidings can be heard from
him, although friends have been written to
in all directions. His poor mother, now
on the borders of the grave, would be
greatly relieved to hear from him. Most
of his relatives think him deceased. News
papers generally please copy.
HOLLIDAYSISTJRO, PA.—Plenty—Coal,
potatoes, fish, oysters, turkies, chickens,
and counterfeit $1 Lancaster bills. Scarce,
apples, eggs, and half dollars. So says
the Standard.
letter from Washington to the
New York Commercial says—l learn that
Mr. R. J. Walker is to return from Eu
rope without obtaining his proposed loan
of fifteen millions."
El'A Western editor says that "a child
was run over by a wagon three years old
and cross-eyed, with pantalets on, which
never spoke afterward 4."
KOSSUTH is eipected in Philadelphia on
the 18th inst., and arrangements are being
made by the City and Districts for his
reception, which will doubtless be as bril
liant and enthusiastic as he received at
the hands of the New Yorkers.
Q7-THE entire value of capital invested
in manufactures in this country is five
hundred and thirty millions of dollars.—
The raw material used amounts to five hun
dred and fifty millions. The amount paid
for labor is two hundred and forty millions
of dollars. The value of manufactured
articles is twelve hundred and thirty mil
i lions of dollars.

A New Wondest
Yesterday afternoon, says the N. Y.
Express, we were invited to the City Ho
tel, Beekman street, to witness two of the
most extraordinary objects ever seen in
this city or probably any where else. On
entering the room, two diminutive figures
i nlet our eye,—a male and a female the
first eleven, the other twelve years of age,
brother and sister; the one 274 inches
high, and the other 33.—80th are exceed
ingly affectionate and intelligent looking.
In color they are about the shade of a
mulatto, with jet black hair, and as beau
tifully arranged as ono can imagine.—
.They are agile to a wonderful degree, and
are celebrated for the great perfection of
their muscular powers. In general ap
pearance they differ from anything claim
ed to be human ever seen before. Some
of the bystanders express the opinion that
they were a species of monkey, that had
the advantage of a refined education; and
others again wore inclined to the belief
I that they were the progeny of degraded
Africans. But little observation, how-
I ever, is necessary to convince one that
they are neither the one nor the other.—
What they really are, vie may state in a
few words,—a couple of children from the
mysterious city of Iximaya, in Central
America, a city mentioned by Stevens, and
recently explored by two daring travellers,
Mr. Heustis of Baltimore, and Mr. Ham
mond of Canada, both of whom sacrificed
their lives in this extraordinary enterpise.
These children, it is said, belong to the
ancient sacerdotal caste of Kaanas, or Ha
gan Mimes; and their faces bcar a perfect
resemblance to the rude sculptures upon
all Aztec and ancient Egyptian monu
ments, the line from the top of the head to
the tip of the nose being p.rfectly straight.
The race is Lilliputant in stature, three
feet being the average height. An ac
count of these wonderful creatures, in the
Mirror, says:
"The female, after hopping upon the ta
ble to show herself off, ran to her nurse's
arms and fell to caressing her very loving
ly. They were neatly dressed in black
tights and tunics, with a few ornaments pe
culiar to their country. They are said to
be orphans, and were obtained by Senor
Velasquez, one of the party of adventurers,
through the agency of a priest; and the ob
ject of the proprietor is to exhibit them as
Etheological curiosities throughout the
world. How they slipped through Bar
num's fingers is a mystery that cannot be
explained, except on the presumption that
the great Showman is already sated with
his gains. If what we have written of
these little half human decendants of the
ancient priests of Iximaya, has excited the
'bump of the marvelous' in the heads of
our readers, we can only assure them that
to see these wonders we have attempted
to describe, will excite them stall more.
"The city of Iximaya has bad no knowl
edge or intercourse with the world for four
thousand years, the party of Velasquez
being the first ever known to have left it
alive. It has a population of about 85,- 1
000, is surrounded by a wall 60 feet high,
and is built in the form of a parallelogram,
four miles long and three wide. The Ka
ana children are supposed to be the de
seendants of Pagan Priests, who emi
grated from Assyria five thousand years ago.
A genealogy like this may startle the Pro
fessional Theologian; but every revelation
of science bears witness to the eternity of
matter, and compels us to interpret the
'six days of Creation' with a liberality un
taught in our schools, or dreamed of in our
philosophy."

Although these works are distinguished by the
political shades above indicated, yet but a small
Portion of their contents is devoted to political
subjects. It is their literary character which gives
, them their chief value, and in that they stand con
fessedly far above all other journals of their class,
Blackwood, still under the masterly guidance of
Christopher North, maintains its ancient celibrity,
and is, at this time, unusually attractive, from the
serial works of Bulwer and other literary notables,
written for that magazine, and first appearing in
its columns both in Great Britain and in the Uni
ted States. Such works as "The Caxton." and
"My Novel," (both by Bulwer), "My Penin
sular Medal," "The Green Hand," and other se
rials, of which numerous rival editions are issued
by the leading publishers in this country, has to
he reprinted be those publishers from the pages of
Blackwood, after it has been issued by Messrs.
Scott ez Co., so that Subscribers to the Reprint
of that Magazine may always rely on having the
earliest reading of these fascinating tales.
These Reprints have now been in successful
opperatiou in this country for twenty years, and
their circulation is constantly on the increase not
withstanding the competition they encountered
from American periodicals of a similar class and
from numerous Eclectics and Magazines made up
of selections from foreign periodicals. This fact
shows clearly the high estimation in which they
are held by the intelligent reading public, And
affords a guarantee that they are established on a
firm basis, and will be continued without interrup
tion.
