Bad News.
While almost every heart in our nation was throb-
bling with joyous pulsations at the cheering news of
The success Of the Hungarians, most dreadful re-
sction has been produced by the latest advices.-
While one arrival brought the pleasing intelligence
that the combined forces OF Russia and Austria had
given way before the indomtable courage and patri-
Otism Of the Hungarians; the very next tells that
the victory is on the other side-the Hungarians
have been annihilated, . nation and that despo-
dsm and serfism have completely triumphed. We
cannot but hope that the latest news is greatly ex-
'aggersted. The circumstances--the positions of
the armesthe character of the Hungarians, forbid
ding the IDEA that they should so suddenly submit
70 their oppressors-lead to cling to this hope.
Besides, we know it is the policy Of the Austrians
and Russians to deprecate the success and prevent
the spread Of the knowledge Of victories achieved
by the Magyars. small paragraph in the news
brought BY the Washington steamer proves this.-
The paragraph runs thus -
General Weldon, the Governor Of venna has inform.
Cd %. editors Of the Austrian newspapers, that they
not allowed To- publish intelligence from the seat Of
war except what has been published in the official Vie.

The next steamer may bring more definite news.
The struggle ofthe Hungarans, awakened univer-
sal sympathy throughout christendon,. In this
country meetings Of the most enthusiastic character
have been numerously attended. The vacillating
course Of France and the downfall of Roman liberty
spread melancholy pail around the hopes that
had been clustering and budding forth in favor of
universal liberty; but all this was somewhat COM
pensated for in the intelligence of victory after VIC
tory, achieved by the patriotic Kossuth, Benz and
Ceorsey. In the very heart Of tyrannical Europe.
the 6res Of liberty bazed forth, bidding fair to con-
sumo and conquer an iron despotism that had for
round down and crushed the hopes of man.
Inc genial glow Of these fires was felt across the
Atlantic, warming the heart Of every patriot BOSOM

And yet despotism must have an ending ere this

never be accomplished until this result is realized.
This generation may not be the favored one to wit

become ripe and ready to appreciate the true object
OF freedom, and when feels and realizes his OBJ

the opportunity, recently enjoyed by France, OF
becoming free, without availing itself of it? The
reasons why she did not, are on every tongue

The Benton Quarrel.
The heartiness with which the St. Louis Union
espoused the cause of Benton after he made his first
speech at jefferson City, indicated friendship and
zeal that no appliance could either abate or de.
stroy. But, alas, for poor human nature! When
It appeared doubtful about Mr. Benton's being sus
tained-when the establishment Of another press
was thrcatened-the st. Louis Union gave Mr. Den.
son the cold shoulder-declined publishing his I'D.
