Character of Kosciusko.
BY GEN. virm HARRISON.
In a speech delivered by him in the Senate of the
U. States, on hearing of the Death of Kosciusko.
The public papers have announced nn
'event, which is calculated to excite the
• 'sympathy ()revery American bosom.
dusko, the martyr of liberty is no more.—
We are inflirmed that he died at Soleure,
in France, some time in October, 1817.
• . In tracing the events of this great man's
life, we find in him that consistency of con.
duct which is more to be admired as it is
rarely to be met with. He was not at one
- time the friend of mankind, and nt another
the instrument of their oppression; but ho
preserved throughout his whole career those
.principles which distinguished him in his
commencement, which influenced him at
nn eally period of his life to leave his coun•
try and his friends, and in another hemis
phere to fight for tho rights of humanity.
Kiwinsko was born and educated in Po.
land, of a noble and distinguished family—
a country where the distinctions in society
are, perhaps, carried to greater lengths than
in any other.—His Creator had, however,
endowed him with n soul capable of rising
above the narrow prejudices of a castle, nod
of breaking the shackles which a vicious
education had imposed upon his mind.—
When very young, he was informed by the
voice of fame that tho standard of liberty
had been erected in America; that an in -
• stilted People lind determined to be free or
perish in tile attempt. His ardent and gen
erous mind caught with enthusiasm the holy
finite, and from that moment ho became the
devoted soldier of liberty.
His rank in the American army afforded
him no opportunity greatly to distinguish
himself. But he was remarkable throu,,h
out his service, for nil the qualities which
adorn the human character. His heroic
'conduct in tho field could rink be equalled
by his moderation and afribility in the walks
of private life. He tins idolized by the
soldiers fot his bravery, and beloved and
respected by the officers for the goodness of
his heart, and the great qualities of his
mind. Contributing greatly , by his exer
tions to the independence of A mei ion. he
might have remained and shared the bless.
logs it dispensed, under•the protection of a
chief who loved and honored him, and the
bosom of a grateful and affectionate peopl e .
Kosciusko had however,- other views.
It is not known that, until the period 1 am
speaking of he had formed any distinct idea
of' what could, or indeed, what ought to be
done for his own country._ Rut in the rev-
Out ionnry war, he drank deep of the princi
ples which produce it. In conversations
with intelligent Men of our country, he ac
quired new views of the science of govern.

free. And was it not possible to procure
these b16.9.111 ,, 51 lilt Poland? • P 0- Pol an d,
the country of his birth, which 'rid it claim
to all his services? That unhappy nation
groaned undCr a complication of evils, which
had scarcely- n parallel in history.--The
mass of the people were the abject slaves of
the nobles, torn into factions, were alter
nately the instruments and the victims of
their powerful and ambitious neighbors.—
By intrigue, corruption, and force, some of
the fairest provinces had been separated - I
from the republic, and the people, like
beasts, transferred to foreign despots, who
were again watching a favorable moment
for a second dismemberment. To regene
rate a people thus debased—to obtain for a
country thus eircurn-tanced, the blessings of
liberty and independence, was a work of as
much difficulty ns danger. But to a mind
like Kosciusko's,tho difficuly and danger of
en enterprise served as stimulants to under
take it.
Tho annals of these times give tis no de,
tailed account of the progress of Kosciusko
in accomplishing his great work, from
America to the adoption of the new consti
int ion of ['crawl, 1791. This interval how
ever, of apparent inaction was most useful
ly employed to [Hume the mental darkness
which mveloped his countrymen. To
stimulate the ignorant and bigotted peasan
try with the hope of future entancipation—
to a proud but gallant nobility that
true glory is only to he found m the paths

were reconciled, dissipated, and broken by
the ascendency of his virtues and example
The storm which he had forseen, and
for which he had been so long preparing, at
length burst upon Poland. A feeble and
unpopnlnr government tent before its fury,
and submitted itself to the yoke of the Rus
sia invader. But the nation disdained to
tollow its example; in ther extremity,
every eye was turned on the hero who had
already foeght their battles; the sive who
had enlightened them; the patriot who had
set the example of personal sacrifices, to
accomplish the emancipation of the people.
Kosciusko was unanimously appointed gen
nhisimo of Poland, with unlimited powers,
until the enemy should be driven from the
country. On his virtue the nation reposed
the utmost confidence; and it is some con•
solution to reflect, amidst the general de.
gravity of mankind, that two instances in
the same age have occurred, where power ,
of this kind were employed solely for the
purposes for which they were given.
It i,i not my intention, sir, to follow the
Polish chief throughout the career of victo
ry which, for a consiberable time, crown•
ed his efforts. Guided by his talents, and
led by his valor, his undisciplined, ill armed
militia - charged with effect the veteran Bus•
sian and Prussian: the mailed cuirassiers of
the great Frederick, for the first time, broke
and fled before the lighter and appropriate
cavalry of Poland. Hope filled the breasts
of the patriots. After a long night, the
dawn of an apparently glorious day broke
upon Poland. - But to the discerning eye of
Kosciusko, the light which it shed was of
that sickly and portentous appearance indi
cating a storm more dreadful than that
which he had resisted. He prepared to
meet it with firmness, but with means en
tirely inadequate. To the advantage of
numbers, of tactics, of discipline, of inex
haustible resources, the combined despots
had secured a friction in the heart.of Poland.
And if that country can boast of having pro
duced its Washington, it is disgraced olso
by giving birth to a second Arnold. The
day at length came which was to decide the
fate of a nation, n hero. Heaven, for wise
purposes. determined that it should he the
last of Polish liberty. It was derided in- '
deed, before the battle commenced. The
traitor, Poniski, who covered with a de
tachment the advance of the Polish army.
abandoned his position to the enemy, and
retreated. •
Kosciusko was astonished. but not dis
mayed. The disposition of his army
would have done honor to flanibal. The
succeeding conflict was terrible. NM) the
talents of the general would no longer direct
the Mingled mass of combatants, the arm of
the warrior was brought to the uid of his
soldiers. Hu performed prodigies of valor.
Tho fabled prowess of Ajax. in defending
the Grecian ships, was realized by the Po
lish hero. Nor was he badly seconded by
his troops. As long as his voice could
guide, or his example fire their valor, they
were irresistuble. In this unequal contest
Kosciusko was long seen, and finally lost to
their view.
" Elnpn for a season bade the world farewell,
And Freedom t.hrielted when Koseiudio fell."
Ele fell covered with wounds, but still
survived, a Cossack would have pierced his
Breast, when on officer interposed. "Suf•
fer him to execute his purpose," said the
! bleeding hero; "I ani the devoted soldier
of my country, and 101 not survive its lib.
ertivs." The name of Kosciusko struck to
the heart of the Tartar, like that of Marius
upon the Cir»britin warrior; the uplif!vil
weapon dropped from his hand. Koscius
ko was conveyed to the dungeons of Pe
tersburr,.; and, to the eternal disgrace of the
Empress Catharine, she made him the ob
ject of her veneeance when he could no lon.
ger be the object of her fears.—Her more
generous
,son restored him to liberty. The
remainder of 'his life has been spent in vit.•
tunas retirement. Whilst in this situation
in France,. an anecdote is related of him
which strongly illustrntes the command
which his services had obtained over tho
minds of his countrymen.
In (he late invasion Of France, the Polish
regiments in the service of Russia passed
thr6ugh the village in which ho lived.—
Some pillaging of the inhabitants brought
Kosciusko froin his coting e. "When I
was n Polish soldier," said he, addressing
the plunderers, 'the property of the peace.
fail citizen was respected.' And who art
thou,' said nn officer, 'who addresses us
with this tone of authority?' nm Kos.
ciusko."—There was n magic in the word.
It ran from corps to corps. The march
was suspended.—They gathered round him,
and gazed with astonishment and awe upon
the mighty ruin he presented. 'Could it
indeed be their hero, ' whose fame was iden
tified with that of thir country? A thou.

sand interesting reflections burst upon their
minds; they remembered his patriotism, his
devotion to liberty, his triumphs, and his
glorious fall. Their iron hearts were sof
tened, and the tear of sensibility trickled
down their weather beaten faces. We can
easily conceive, sir, what would he'the feel.
ings of the hero himself in such a scene.—
His great heart must have heaved with
emotion to find himself once more surroun
ded by the companions of his glory, and
that he would have been upon the point of
saying to them,
"Behold your General, come once more
To lend you on to Inurol'd victory,
To fume, to freedom."
Thedelosion could have lasted hut for a
moment. !Jo was himself, alas! a misera
ble cripple, and for them. they were no lon
ger the soldiers of liberty, but the instru
ments of ambition and tyranny.
Such was the man sir, for wln.,e. memory
I ask Iron. an American Congress a slight
tribute of respect; not, sir, to perpetuate his
fame—but our gratitude. flis fame will
last as long as liberty remains upon the
earth; es lone as a votary offers incense
upon her altar, the name of Kosciusko will
be invoked. And if, by the common con.
sent of the world, a temple shall be erected
to those who have rendered the most ser
vice to mankind, if the statute of our great
countrymen shall occupy the place of the
'must worthy,' that of Kosciusko will be
found by his side, and a wreath of laurel
will be entwined with the palm of virtue to
adorn his brow:.
VARIETY.
A beautifully executed medal, somewhat
larger than n crown, tins been struck in
commemoration of the first Wesleyan Con
ference held in Birmingham—lt is thus de
scribed:--
"On the obverse is a half length figure of
the Rev John Wesley, in the act or preach
ing—the likeness taken from the last print
issued by the Book Room—Around it are
the words—" Rev. John Wesley, A. M.
nat. 1708, obt. 1791—What hath God,
wrought."
On the reverse is the following inscrip•
tion: "The Ninety-third Conference of the
Wesleyan Methodists (the first held at
Birmingham,) begun July 27, 1830. The
Rev Dr. Bunting, President; the Rev. R.

DErmrr var. OF MissioNiturcs FOR AF
RICA.—This morning at 11 o'clock 'l i the
Rev. John Seys, Rev. Squire Chase, and
the Rev. George S. Brown, (the lastmen
lioned n colored man,) sailed for Liberia in
the schooner Portia. These gentlemen are
all missionaries of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. They were accompanied to the
vessel by a committee of the. Yonng Men's
Missionary Society of this citY, with a num
ber of the Board of Managers, two of :11r.
Seys, children, and several kind friends.
After embracing each other in token of
affectionate and Christian adieu, they kneel
ed together upon the wharf, and were cons•
mended in fervent prayer to God, when,
with many tears, they parted with their
friends, probably to meet no more on earth.
We learn that this parting scene, occurring
upon one of our crowded wharves, was
touching indeed; so that the busy avoca
tions of those mph yed von the dock were
suspended, and many of the bystanders re.
moved their hats, while tears of sympathy
were seen in the eyes of the sailors who
manned the boat which was to convey the
missionaries on hoard. It was a spontan•
onus tribute to a tender and affecting scene,
and one which had not been prearranged.
It was truly a ceremony of the heart.-IV.

DUELLING in Franco will soon be done

portant senterces lately pronounced by the
French Courts. They have given damages
to the widow and orphan, to be levied upon
the murderer. The Royal Court of Bor.
Beaux have set the example by gtVing dam
ages to the widow of Cheurlet against Du

The same principle was applied in another
case, when nn appeal was made to the
Court or Cossation, and the sentence con
firmed. The :%sssize Court of Paris was
occupied a number of days in the trial of
young Sivev for killing M. Durepane in
duel, which resulted in n verdict of lama.

The following extraordinary performance
of n locomotive engine, made for the Penn
sylvania Rail Road, is related in the Phila
delphia National Gazette. This is the
second engine from the factory of the same
ingenious and scientific maker, and forms
new and highly honorable evidence of the
skill of American mechanics. WILLIAM
NORRIs, Esq. the inventor, is a native of
Baltimore, and a son of the late WILLIAM
NoTints.
IrsoLINEn FLA:stn.—The new locomotive
steam engine, "Washington County Far
mer," built for the Commonwealth of Penn
sylvania by Mr. Norris, of this city, was
placed on the Columbia rail• road on Tuesday
afternoon.
The power of tho enuino was then tested
in ascending the Inclined Plane, which was
nerfbrined to the complete satisfaction of
numerous scientific gentlemen, invited ex
pressly fir the occasion.
The plane is 2,q00 feet long, ascent In
that di-lance 190 feet, equal to 809 feet to
the mile, or 1 foot rise in 143. 10. Weight
of the engine 1R,170 lb . with water Includ
ed. Load drawn up, 30,116 lbs. including
tender with fuel and water, two large pas
senger cars, with 39 passengers. Time of
running, 3 min. 15 sec. Pressure in the
boiler under 70 lbs.
In descending the plane, the engineer re.
peatedly came to a dead stand from a great
speed, and for some minutes played up and
down the grade, thus proving most satisfac.
torily the immense power nftho engine, and
the perfect safety in its performance. The
beautiful
is a masterpiece of machinery, and
o beautiful exterior..
The result here Obtained. has . ' never been
equalled by the beat engines in this country
or Europe, excepting only similar perfor
mances of the "George 'Washington," an
engine by the same rnaker
The advantage of this great improvement
in locomotive engines is selfovident; rail•
roads can be constructed at much less cost
than heretofore, now that engines can be
prociired (of usual weight) to perform on
grades of 70 or even 100 feet rise in the
mile.

The United States and Mcsteo.—The
Philadelphia Daily Advertiser of Tuesday
furnishes the following information:
" We understand that Mr. Gorostiza,
the Mexican Minister, arrived at the Man
sion House yesterday from Washington
We are extremely sorry to hear from a re
spectable source, that his negotiations with
our Government have terminated unsatis•
(hooray, and that he is preparing to return
home with his deplomntic family. This
will ho unwelcome news to the, friends of
pence, and to the commercial interests of
the country.
MEXICO AND THE UNITED STATES.-
The following is from an editorial article
in the Washington Globe:
"A/though we have no knowledge of the
reasons given by Sir. Gorostiza for taking
his leave, we think the following extract
from a letter, just received, sheds some light
on the subject:
Extract of a letter received in this city from
a gentleman who !ell Tampico on tho 12th
of September last..
"The Mexican ports are now open to the
Spanish flag, and the Government of Mexico
has despatched commissioners to Cuba, for
the purpose of raising a bawd armament to
cruise against the Texians• Is it probable
that men embarked in this warfare, would,
or will return to port without prize money?
The Texians have no commerce to gratify
their enemies with, and all their armed yes
eels would not equal ono decent .prize.--
Therefore it behooves the commerce of these
seas to be well protected against piratical
movements. Several private letters from
the interior. of Mexico were shown to me at
Tampico, from which the sentiment appears
to be universal among the Mexicans, that
war will be declared against the United
States, in the event of their recognition of
Texian independence."
Priem TEXAS.--The following, Pays. the .
New Orleans Bulletin, is .no extract of a
letter dated at the Head QUartets or the
l'exian Army, September 18, and written
by General Felix Houston. It was address.
ed to Col. Louis P. Cook, of the Texian
Army', who is nt present in that city:
"It is mY'Opinion that the war between
Texas and Mexico is not yet euded--it has
but just begun, and must be terminated be
yond the Rio Grande, Mexico is not blind
to her future destiny, and without a severe
struggle ,she will never consent that the
Americans shall settle to the Rio Grande.
Her murderous and barbarous policy has
doomed. her, and her pride must be bumbled
before . she yields to her superior power of
her more warliko.neighbors who have• sig

traits of mercy and humanity as by Indent.'

VILLANY.—The Columbia ,Spy relates
the following case of daring villany of a
singularly aggravated character, which re
cently occurred in that borough:
Two young men were standing at the end
of the Fridge in conversation with the Gate
keeper, when a third, a stranger, stepped up
and asked if either of them could give him
two five dollar bills Fir a ten, but without
prodUcing the ten. One of the young men
drew out his pocket book, and while ►n the
act of selecting therefrom the five dollar
bills, the stranger, snatched the book from
his hand and set ofFrif full speed across the
bridge. He was immediately pursued. and
overtaken before he reached' the western .
end of the Bridge, and the pocket book re
waned. They gave the villain a sound
drubbing for his pains and let him go, per
haps to practice his dnring roguery with
more siiecess; in some oiher quarter. The
hardihood and temerity of this follow is re
ally astonishing, thus to commit an act of
,the kind in open daylight, before Witness*
and under circumstances, where esettpAvas
Utterly impossible.
