From he York Courier and Enquirer.
A Suppressed Portion of NJ. Kossuth'G


Speech.
The following paragraph was in the manuscript of
NJ. Kossuth's speech at the Press Banquet, but for
some unknown to us was not delivered,
nor was it allowed by its author TO find it's way
into the report of more than one of our contempo-
raries. 1t followed the paragraph alluding to "a
systematic compound Of the most foul calumnies,"
which had appeared a considerable time ago in
asTtssn Now York papersp
=. Rat one curiouS incident I may perhaps be
permitted to state, which mHsf lie entirely new TO
you.
81 was at Kutahia a prisoner, when, several
weeks before ealuded to article appeared printed
here, got, by the kindness OF some brave friends
from Vienna, via Constantinope, (mark well, gen
temen, from Vienna a manuscript, with the inti-
nation that 1t was copy of the article which
would soon appear in an American newspaper, the
copy taken for my use by an honest man in the
very bureaus of the Austrian ministry have
shown the manuscript to my associates several of
whom, being here, can remember and testify to
Il curious fact; and, indeed some weeks later
the very article appeared in an American news
paper, and it is that very compound of misrepro.
sentatons and calumnyto which ] was alluding to-.
Now 1t 10 not mine to investigate this strange an
ity between an "independent" American journal
and the secret cabinet OF Austra il may be quite an
innocent accident. only mention ID as a contri-
button to the cabinet of curiosities of the world
Let it DO, 1t is not worth while to dwell upon it,"
Here is grave charge-a charge too grave to
be overlooked. The Courier and Enquirer is one
"of the New York papers, and therefore may be
the one referred to. We have right to demand, A.,
and do demand, of M. Kossuth, if the Courier and
Enquirer was or was not the object of his reference?
COURAGE UNDER DIFFIcuLrIBs.-Th Washing
ton correspondent of the Baltimore Clipper gives
the following sketch of man residing in This city,
who may truly be said to be hero, or to be made
of the same metal OF which heroes are made:
"There lie q laboring in this city who, from
his scanty wages OF eighty seven and half cents,
has accomplished wonders. He has wife anu
two small children dependent on him for sup
port. In the first place, he bought lot in the su
burbs of the city, and himself built little house up
on it, availing himself OF moonlight nights and the
remnant of day remaining after sundown during
the summer days. He even built the chimney and
plastered his humble tenement, which is comfort
able, although the work may be called rough ,
However, il is his palace in which, doubtless he
10 happier than the king on his throne, for hero
he has found sweet repose- after his excessive
daily labor over. His principle is to paw as
he goes, and friend who knows much about
him related to several instances of honesty
and libernlity which stamp this son of toll as a
man indeed. Having paid for his property, he had
began to comfortably furnish his house, bat by ex.
posture IN damp places he contracted disease, which
confnes him to bis bed; but he ia cheerful and pa
tent, and may coon recover. How he has done so
much with 30 little money is n marvel. We take
it for granted that he does not drink rum smoke
three-cent cigars, patronize restaurants, and the
amusements OF the day. and try his Iuck-in cameo
OF chance. On Sabbath Ne makes genteel appear
ance, and bis family do 1ss appaas 10 want for
the necessaries Of life. But now can ne accomplish
all this with his eighty-Beven and half cents q
day? or course be must deny himself, and only
dream of luxuries. There hundreds in this city
who receive four times much money but who
cannot make both ends meet half way. "a penny
saved ia penny earned and this motto may be
the rule by which the humble gentleman Of whom
we have spoken is governod.''
