Affairs In nnrnnr.


 Maoh curiosity has leen Issanilesses throughout the var ss present existing betweeR Hungary and Austria. This Is the bur5eR of all ear European intelligence This siraggie, tn which Russia has recently taken Seiive part in aid of the defeated desgoissn of Austria ssems to b. looked apoa both in Europe and America, tho deciding contest between the constitutional power Oi the people and the dcspogic tyranny Of absolute nonarchisu,. The ersnt of the war is a sabieot of Usease interest, both 10 the advocates of civil liberty and the sup porters of tho fsss-aeeaying system of oSarchy The progress of liberal principles in the old world has been unwoatediy rapid daring the lsst two years The titled aFistocracy of England have been made to temhle al the msnaces of people who are fast awakening to knowledge of their inst rights, and are beginning so demand, in thunder tones, redress for the many grievances to which they have too long submitted. The ihre he of the Boarbons has crambIed iaio dust, and the naughty King of the French has been huabled, amid the victorious shoats of people who have bat faint glimmer
 ing of the ehangeless truths of the great cause they have esPossed. The temporal power of the Pope has become a tate of other times, and the absolute sway Of the vicar of God has sunk. to rise no more upon tae classic shores of Itay. The States of the Gernanic federation are rapidly advancing, and day by day adopting liberal policy. And last, but not least the eonsiitaionasis of Hungary have risen ia defense of their rights and cast of the sltacAles of the Austrian despot, which each sac- ceeding dynasty for the lsss three centuries, has only riveted more closely upon them.
 In another column will bo found an interesting history of this matter. to which refer our readers for the desired information. IL is ia itself as eOm- Plete and concise as the columns of a newspaper will admit. The writer appears familiar with the subject, and the historical facts cited are correct IL will convey distinct idea Of the causes of the Hungarian difficulties, and of the position of the parties. Hungary is fighting noby and vietoriousIy
 n defense of her rights, gaaran,isd to her by the provisions of her compact with the Austrian gov eFnmeat. Austria is struggling 10 retain about her the sbreds of tyranuicaI power, built up by long series of usurpatloas. Russia the last strong hold of tyraanical monarchy, guided by the internal spirit of despotism, is aiding with her immense ar- maments to defeat the noble efforts of the Hunga- raEls-not from any love for her Austrian neighbor, bui in order to crush, entirely, the last faint hope Of poor, oppressed, unfortunate Poland. Thus far the HGngarians have been eminent,y successful Devotion 10 their cause has lent them an indomita- ble energy. Alone and unaidcd they have broken asundsg their gaIing bonds, and hambled the broad power of their oppressors The whole republican world ls interested in their undertaking May Inc Genus of Liberty suain their efforts, and VICTORY still perch uPoa thslr standard.

SOAE THINGS LOVE NE.
BY rnoxas BUCHANAN READ.

O.
All within and all without me
Feel melancholy thrill,
And the darkness hangs about mt,
On, how still!
To my feet, the river glideth
Through the shadow, sulIen, dark;
On the stream the white moon rideth,
Like barq1e-
And the linden leans above me,
Till think some things there be
In this dreary world that love me,
Even me.
Gentle flowers are springing near me,
Shedding sweetest breath around;
Countless voices rise to cheer me,
Fromthe ground;
And the lone bird comes--I hear it
In the tall and windy pine
Pour the sadness OF its spirit
Into mine;
There il swings and sings above me,
Till think some things there be
In this dreary world tina. love me,
Even me.
Now the moon hath floated to me,
On the stream see it sway,
Swinging ooat-like, as 'twould woo me
Far away
And the stars bend from the azure,
could reach them where lie,
And they whisper ali the pleasure
Of The sky.
There they hang and smile above me,
Till think some things there be
In he very heavens that love me,
Even me.
Now when comes the tide Of even,
Like solemn river, slow,
Gentle eyes akin TO heaven
On me glow
Loving eyes that tell their story,
Speaking to my heart OF hearts;
But sigh, thing Of glory
Soon departs.
Yet when Mary fades above me,
lmust think that there will be
One thing more in heaven love me,
Even me.
