%It will be icco!lectcd that some
time the la ter part of last August, the
Police officers of this town entered
house on the Hil occupied by Matilda
Philips, Of Mercer street, New York, and
took Miss Philips and other females re-
siding there, and carried them to the
Asylum, on the ground that the estab-
lishment was house OF il-iame; the
arrest was made, as we are informed, by
direction OF portion OF the Town CouD.
Gil, and not by an official order of the
Council, or even with the knowledge of
all the members. These persons were
kept at the Asylum ior "A day, or per
haps two, when they were brought be-
fore the Supreme Court, then in ses-
sion here, on Writ Of Habeas Corpus,
and alter hearing OF the facts in the
case, the Court ordered them discharg-
ed, on account OF the ilegality Of the
proceedings. Miss Philips has now
brought an action in the u S. Circuit
Courl against the Police Officers por-
ton Of the Town Coucil, and others who
arrested her and conveyed her to the
Asylum although the action is nomi-
naIly against the Police, yet it is III fact
against the Town, although we are
tree to confess that should II verdict be
rendered in this case in favor of the
Plaintiff, ifthe Defendants acted under
the directions OF II portion Of the Town
Council, contrary to law, We see no rea
son why the people ol the Town should
undertake to assume the liabilities Of
portion oi their Council, who have act
cd ia violation OF law. This portion OF
tie Council, and minority at that, have
assumed Il great deal upon themselves,
since they have been III power, land II
tn,y have overstcpped the law, we do
not believe that they will find much
sympathy in the community for their L.
legal acts. Some 4 " oil these men, in
attempting to establish what they pre-
tend is II wholesome government, have
approached as near petty monarchy
as lh,ir limited scope would allow We
do not attribute these motives To all the
the members of the Council, because
we know that some of them are excel.
l,nt men, and that lhclr desre has been
simply to discharge their duty,--but we
cannot conscicniiously make the same
remark in regard to all of them.
The suit in question will be tried at
the coming November Term of the Y.

Address of Louis KOSSuth
TO THE PEOPLE OF THE U. STATES.

WAsHisGToN, d. c.. Oct. IL, 1851.
To the Editors Of The Public Press of
the United States
GENTLEMEN I'm the month Of Febru-
ary last Governor l.. Ujhazi, late Of
Hungary, sent me proclamation ofthe
Hungarian leader, Louis Kossuth, ad-
dressed TO the people OF these United
States, requesting me to cause the same
TO be published, and TO deposite it's orig
inal, written in thei Magyar language,
in the archives of Congress.
When that valuable document came
to my hands, a negotiation was pending,
having for its object the Liberation Of
Kossuth from the Turkish custody
This consideration induced me to con-
suit confdentially with number Of dis
tinguished citizens occupying high and
exalted stations, whom knew to be the
truest and warmest friends Of the Hun
garian cause and its great leader; end
finding that each Of them concurred
with me in the opinion that the publica-
tion OF that document at that time might
have defeated the object Of the negotia-
tion, Informed Governor Ujhazi OF it
whereupcn he authorized me TO retain
in my possession the original until it
could be safely published.
This time has now arrived. The
great Hungarian leader being already
under the protection Of the stars and
stripes, and approaching these hospit-
able shores, there is no necessity Of
Withholding il from the public eye.
Having set forth the foregoing expla-
nation of reasons why the proclamation
referred TO was not laid sooner before
the people Of the United States, TO whom
it is addressed respectfully beg Tor it
the liberty of your columns.
The original OF the proclamation will
remain in my possession until the next
session Of Congress, when il will be res
pectiully deposIted within the hands oi
the representatives Of the people.
have the honor to remain, with
great respect, your obedient fellow citi-
zen and servant, q. TocHMAs.

TERMS--$2 in advance, or 1926

o. We commence this morning the
publication of Kossuth's splendid Ad-
dress 10 the people Of The United States,
which we commend to the attentive Pc
rusal of all our readers, for we are sure
it will most amply reward them. II is
one Of the most able and interesting doc
uments which we have ever read, and,
coming from the great chieftan of the
Hungarians, it gives vast deal of val
uable and reliable information in regard
to that down-trodden, but brave people.
Kossuth writes powerfully and well, and
he handles the oppressors OF his country
and the traitors who sold her freedom,
in the most wthering manner. 1t Is
not to be wondered that such maa as
Kossu,h, judging him even by this Ad-
dress alone, should sway such power
over the Magyar race, and that he arous-
ed them to such resistance to their OPP
prcssors.
The publication Of this Address, at
th.s time, when the author is probably
within short distance of our shores,
will arouse still stronger feeling in his
behalf among the American people, and
ensure him, if possible, still warmer
welcome. A far as Kossuth's charac.
ter is krown, in this country, there is
everything in il TO admire. He evnces
the genius, eloquence and sagaciiy of a
statesman, the devotion and seli-sacrif-
cling spiril. of a patriot and hero. AL
though we should be glad TO have him
become an adopted son Of America,-
still we can hardly expect this, because
we think that brighter day will yet
dawn upon oppressed Hungary, when
the iron shacklcs which Austria has
placed upon her shaIl he forever broken.
and then the Magyars will look to
their great and noble kossuth to guide
and direct their affairs and in him they
will find protector and ruler, whose
intelligence and goodness will make
them proel erous and happy.

Upon this the Daily Times remarks
that it is very probably substantially
true, agreeing as it does with informa-
