1. Rcseirel, BY tic Sfnc,e cai House #
Representatives, That Vermont has no new
position to take on the subject Of slavery.
Her views are On record they remain uu-
changed. Now, as ever before, she regards
the system as u grcyous wrong 10 The sub

whoever may a.sail, she will vindicate ii !
whoever may desert, sic will abide by it.

Of life in them, 10 be as active as that soul

H The project of German national loan,
for the purpose of sustaining the threatened rev.
volution in the centre of Europe, is one of the
new features of modern times Many gener-
ons heart beats with hope and enthusiasm for
his fatherland, although removed far from it,
hearths, and deeply interested in the country OF
its adoption.
BY many, such scheme may be considered
as contrary to the laws which should govern the
relations of nation with nation; but to this
objection, the Germans have two reasons to al
lege: first, that as Germans they have right
to interfere in the affairs of their own country,
and secondly, that as freemen they are bound
to be useful to their enslaved brethren.
Such schemes, on less comprehensive plan,
have been proposed before ; and England, while
protesting deep respect for the obligations OF
international rights, has not hesitated to encour.
age openly, projects even less justifable. w,
wish success to all legitimate efforts at sustain
ing the rights of peoples and States.

fY- The address of KossUTH, the great Hun
garian leader, to the people of the United States,
is now publishing in the papers. 1t is a noble
production, and worthy of that high minded and
gifted individual.
The document was written and forwarded to
this country at the beginning of this year
Major TocHmAN of this city, to whom it had
been entrusted, on consultation with influential
persons here, was induced to withhold it, until
the question of KossUTH's release should be ter
minated
The matter it contains is of a most interesting
character and will be acceptable to every Amer
ican not merely on account of the merit of the
production the power with which it is written,
and the lofty sentiments it contains, but for the
truthful details of events connected with the
Hungarian struggles.
KossurH has firm faith in the ultimate free,
dom of his noble country. No hardships have
discouraged him. He knows the people whom
he has led with so much glory; and he is salts
fed that, at the proper time they will rise en-
znasse, and drive the oppressor out KossUTH
shows too, that their struggles were for their
ancient independence. Hungary did not revolt
to obtain freedom. She stood to resist an en-,
croachment on ancient rights coming from the
Austrian government. In this, as in other parts
of Europe, the cause of revolution has always
been in the government itself.

of the present state of affairs in Europe, that the
gipsies Of Hungary have resolved to leave the

upon which to pitch their tents. II is said that
they intend leaving Europe in search Of Africa.
