The OratOry ana Objects Of Kos
Sutl,.

The Albany Atlas has the following re-
marks upon the genius and objects ofKos-
suth. They are equally just with regard
to each. He isa gloriously gifted being,
but he cannot lure the nation away from
its fixed position. Of his great speech at
the New York banquet, the Atlas says:
1T is a speech which elevates the repn-
taiion Of the maker even beyond the lofty
point it had before attained. 1t is compre-
hensivc, mastery. full Of greet ideas, but
ii is even more adroit and skilIu than il is
eloquent. To break through the idiom Of
our language and to improve it, to give
clearer uttcrance 10 thoughts, and stronger
expression to sentiments, than our own
most gifted speakers, struck all the hear
ers of the marvclously endowed man with
wonder. But the skill which lie shows in
Introducing The most delicate refinemcnts
Of reasoning, gently drawing from some
self-cvident proposition, some less Obvious
one, and by inscnsiJie gradations present
ing his case in a new and most iorciblc as
pecr;-lhis, in a stranger TO the language,
is the most wonderful of all.

II /, will be seen that we have put
up The name of JAMES HARLAN as a
candidate for Superintendent, Of Public
instruction. ... ..
We have done so because we are sat
ished tina, he is The choice Of majority
Of The people Of Iowa for .ha. Office.
They have said SO, once by 1000
majority, and once again by small ma.
jority-aEd he was, Notwithstanding,
shamefully,. and in violation of every
principle Of justice, cheated out of the
office. We have full confidence in the
integrity and honesty of the people, and
il they were left uninanenced by party
appliances they would most certainly
cleo. this much injured, talented and
honorable man 70 this responsible place,
and with all the party tactics, in the field,
We have but little doubt that lie will be
,riumphantly sustained. 49,. .s ...
The voters of Iowa have set their
seal Of whitening condemnation on the
base attempt TO deprive Hon. D. F. MIL
LER of his seat in Congress-which is
worthy of all praise,--and we feel sat
isfied that they will wipe out the stain,
that rests on our State, and condemn
The men who fixed it there BY rolling up
good round majority for the peoples
favorite JAMES HARLAN. We have IA.
ken this liberty, without knowing Mr..
HIS. views, and do not know that he
will consent TO BE candidate, blu. hope
that he will, and we believe that il is due to
the majority who have elected him, the
State and himself, 20 suffer his name to
60 forth 10 the people as candidate fol
this Office.

The State Printer.

!, certainly is not only severe rebukc
10 the Reporter men, TO be so uncermo-
neously kicked out Of Office, by their
own political friends in the Legislature;
but the choice of the conductors of a
paper, known TO be obnoxious to Dodge
and Jones, and their interests, is a sure
index 10 the waning influence Of this
powerful combination, with the Locofoco
party in the State. One Locofoco pa
per in the State, has refused TO show
the knee to B0al," and as a reward a,
lie hands of a majority Of the Locofoco
members OF the Legislature, received the
public printing; and while on this sub.
ject, we would remind the public, thai
our neighbors of the Republic, short
time since took US 10 task for complain
ing Of exorbitant prices paid for the
public printing, and commended that the
prices were not too high, and that we
were mean for, complaining Of it. Now,
majority of their own party in the
Legislature, agreed with and sustained
uss while they condemned the Repub-
lie men by reducing those prices great
~. and the new State printers, were
not only anxious and clamerous TO 60 il
at the reduced price, bu. manifested their
JOY and gratitude to their friends, by
treating them 10 barrel OF fine apples.
We hope our neishbors will serve all
siike and givs-.h Democratic members
of the Legislature. sound druboing, for
compelling iaboring men to work for
such low ,cages. "Lay on McDaf."

River ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
ment Of Commissioners.

There are not many in these parts,
who believe that Gen. Van Antwerp,
would have refused TO accept the ap.
pointment of River Commissioner, il
the Legislature had retained the hvpoth,
ecation clause in the river improvement
Bill. BY the way we, with number Of
the friends Of the improvement, believe
that the striking out of that feature in
the law, gave the improvement severe
lick lack. We however hope for the
best, and shall be disagreeably dieaI,.
pointed. if the present arrangement sue
ceeds in giving Us speedy completion
of the small par, of the work that is no
abandoned.
