Hoaxing Learned Bodies.

The broadest and most laughablc attempt Of

the venerable Judge Breckcnridec.yth the elder.
The Judge, it seems. had moral antipathy ~

remarkable from his being scientific and we'll
read man. But he At length explained the
mystery, by stating that he had been rejected
by the American Philosophical Society, of
which he was candidate for membership, in
revenge for democratic vote he had given IL,
the Legislature Of Pennsylvania lysinst what
was termed the "proyince MOI And he

General Committee held meeting last evening
at Tammay Hall, and, after the transaction Of
the routine business, they adopted the follow.
ing resolutions: ....ss... .. .... ..-
Resolved. That thea appeal of our fellow. coun.
tryman, John Thrashcr, from the dungeons
of Spanish despotism, awakens the strongest
sympathy in our hearts in his behalf, and also
a sense of deep indignation in regard to the
heartloss and pusillanimous conduct Of the ad
ministration at Washington. which has carless-
ly witnessed the arrest and condemnation to
tho galleys, under n fabricated charge, and
without even the form Of trial. of an Amer
lean citizen, without the slightest manifesto.
tion Of disposition to intcrpose in his protcc.
tion and defence.
Resolved, That the insult to our flag, and
the outrage upon our countrymen sailing un.
der it. committed by British ship of war, in
firing upon the steamer Prometheus, at the
mouth of the river San Juan. cannot in honor
be overlooked by our Government. and we call
upon the administration and Congress to de-
snand, in unequivocal terms, an ample apol
ogy for this renewed indignity of British AFRO
gance, in its absurd and knavish assumption O
the ''protectorate' Of the soAcalled Mosquit,

Of the mayor and city council, to visit that city
the invitation having been conveyed in ex-
ceedingly eloquent addresses, from Chief JUS
tice lie Grand and Brantz Meyer
"Russian interference, was the great danger
to be apprehended, and on this point Kossuth
begged that be might not be misinteipretcd nor
| misunderstood, Russia was not SO great, so
mighty, as it is too common to represent her.
She had large and inflated body. it was true,
but it was supported by feeble limbs. She had
the prestge Of greatness, and it is that prestige
which should be broken. (Applause.) He en-
tertained no sentiments of hostility to the peo
pie of Russia He believed that some day the
sun of freedom would break over eycn their
heaas. At present they were but the tools of
an autocrat, who has basphemously declared
that he had received his calling from heaven to
put his foot on the neck of European freedom.
Here. then, was the position of Hungary. Rus.
sia was near her; her armies were never more
than thirty hours march from Hungary. The
emperor could pour down his armies upon them
at any moment, and before the Hungarian peo.
pie had time to organize and develop their re-
sources. He came here to ask Of the United
States to take stand, the Consequences of
which would be, not to involve her in war, but
to prevent further intervention from Russia
(Applause.) ......... -... .....
"Why did Ae indulge that hope--the hope
that she would take that standy They were
attached to the great principles their immortal
Washington had established. 1t was funda
mental element in those principles that every
every nation has sovereign right to dispose
Of itself and to alter lis government if it elect
and that no other nation has right to inter
fere. He could write a book by recalling the
words of their presidents messages, the official
correspondence of their most distinguish, 4 men,
their declaration of independence, their instruc
tions to foreign agents and ministers abroad,
recoga aizing that principle. (Renewed cheer
ing) Hungary did not want our fleets or our
armies. All that she wanted from the United
States was that she should see fair play.
(Cheers.) All that he wanted was that the
United States should take such an attitude as
would prevent interference from third parties. .
DR.. John G. Calhoun, son Of the deceased Ca
rolinian, and Mr.. Mcintosh Madison, addressed
Kossuth, in behalf of several citizens Of Florida,
and strongly avowed the principle of interven
ton, in conjunction with Great Britain and
France, or, if they refused. then for our govern
mcnt to aid the cause of Hungary alone. Kos
sulh said he need not respond, for the address
showed that the authors clearly understood his
views.

DOUBLE SHE EFT
New York, Tuesday, April 1, 1851.
summary Of the Latest Intelligence.

The committee appointed by the Senate of this
State to investigate the charge of levying black
mail, preferred by Mr.. Suydam of this city, against
the Sergeant-at- Arms, and indirectly against GER
tain members of that body, are, as learn by tee
graph, progressing with the task imposed upon
them. Mr.. Bull, it appears, has I" acknowledged
the corn" by admitting that the letters which we
published day or two ago on the subject, were
written by him for the purpose of levying black
mail on the gambling house keepers of New York,
and probably those of other places we'll. 1t APP
pears that it announced to Mr.. Suydam that
he had the liberty Of examining the three Senator's
indirectly connected with the Sergeant-at-Arms,
but that gentleman declined to examine them ex-
cept he had the liberty Of doing at a time,
and when the Others were not present. This privi-
lege was not conceded Mr.. Suydam protested, and
nothing further done yesterday This was a
very mpolitic course for the committee to pursue,
and their action, in this respect, will not, we
certain, be followed by any good results. The ac-
eu.ed, in every instance, is presumed TO be inno-
cent until the reverse is proved But suspicion
il always awakened when the defendant falls back
on rigid punctilio. Innocent people little for
forms Of any kind. We therefore think that the
Committee Of Investigation erred in not allowing
Mr. Suydam TO have his own way in the matter-not
that suppose for a moment that the Senators re-
ferred to could be proved guilty of the scandalous
charge. The committee will probably report to-
day but, under the circumstances, it will not be
satisfactory to the community, nor will it, in the
minds of the people, exonerate where exoneration is
most material
We learn by telegraph, that American vessels
are daily passing through the Welland canal, thus
proving that up to this time, at all events, that
branch Of navigation has not been closed against
us. 1t would be folly in the Canadians to shut out
sur commerce. for, in this age Of the world, when
free trade is the ruling principle, il would be suici
DIAL in them to do SO. such policy they cannot
but know would injure them more than il would US,
and postpone, indefinitely, the reciprocity act which
they are anxious Of entering into, and which,
probably, viii be passed by the next Congress. The
history Of this eouatry shows that it cannot be driven
into any measure.

DEATH AMONG NEWSPAPERS. - THE NEW York
DEMOCRACY WITHOUT AN ORGAs.-The last hope
Of Tammany has departed. The Globe newspaper
has been suspended before, but ii is now dead. The
cause Of this misfortune was n want Of alimcnt
For the last eighteen months it has been nursed and
fed by the friends Of Commodore Stockton, or
perhaps, by the Commodore himself Twenty
three thousand dollars have been sunk in that time
and that il not the worst Of 1.-THE Tammany party
has been sunk too.
The fact in this business has been. that the Gloie
got into Incompetent hands, who yielded to stool
pigeon influence and the knock-down march of
rowdyism. urging nominations which the pure demo-
cracy could not support. This Disguised all the
sensible men Of Tammany, and rapid consumption
has at last laid the organ in the tomb of the
Capulets. What is the result The democracy Is
without an organ. What a terrible condition Of
thirgs! Tammany without a MOUTH piece Ger
tainly the day of judgment must be near. II can
not be far of. Tammany Hall without a word for
ITSELF
In this state Of things, Tammany, with all the
sachems, should follow the example Of the Semi
noes--should make a trail out beyond the Missis-
sirIi and the Missouri, climb tho Rocky Noun
tains, and settle down comfortably with the
Mormons in the Central Valley. Democracy is at
last dumb. Who could have believed 1t VIII
not some courageous individuals get up subscrip-
ton and give the democracy an organl Perhaps
the theatrical managers, who live upon tie demo-
cracy, may not be appealed to in vain. What will
