AMERICAN TELEGRAPH



The qualities of the great reformer, the sol
der, the writer. and the orator, have been sell
dom 50 wonderfully united in the same indivi-
dual as in the distinguished Hungarian chisftain;
and his knowledge Of the politics Of the old
world appears at once minute and comprehen-
siye. His speeches made in England in the
brief time he has sojourned there would fill
volume Of no meagre limits, and the charm OF
freshness and novelty appears to adorn all that
proceeds from his lips.
The New York Herald remarks that ne con
tinues to receive the ovations of the English
people, notwithstanding his republican avow-
ais, and the continued attacks of the London
Times. He has been received with distin,
guished honor ut Birmingham and Manches-
ter ut both Of which places he made long and
eloquent speeches, which were warmly APP
: pauded. The London Times, after trying I'M
remttingy 10 write him down, and to report
him down, has at length knocked under itself,
and refused TO publish his speeches. There
Is a reason for this course. That paper is the
organ Of the stock jobbers and loan contract
ora, who fear that the course which Kossuth
is pursuing win depreciate the price Of Aus
trian bonds, injurc the Austrian funds, and
derange Austrian finances, which are in very
ticklish position at present, without any pros
pect Of favorable change This last is, no
doubt, the cause Of the London Times ceasing
to report Kossuth but, according to all up.
pearances, the illustrious Magyar can get
along without the Times, and without the
patronage Of the ck-jobbers."
Kossuth is now upon the broad Atlantic, with
his. face to our shores; and we shall soon see
him in our midst, and hear the eloquence Of his
voice. Let US curb our admiration, and see
that We do not degrade ourselves in even his
eyes by overstepping the boundaries Of propri-
ETY. and dignity in our greeting; but let every
American at. the same time rejoice in his COM
ing, and remember that he is the representative
Of the cause of freedom from a great, a beauti-
full and an injured country, and that he is to its
people the star of hope, and their dependence
in the struggles yet to be made for the preser-
vation Of their homes and the achievement Of
their independence.

This State is entitled to four members in the

To the Editors Of the american Telegraph.
GENTLEMEN: perceive that the Board of
Common Council of this city by an almost
unanimous vote-thanks to the mover-have
passed resolution directing the Mayor, in
substance Il have not the resolution before me),
to request the President Of the United States
to have enforced on all the public works the
same rules Of working hours as has been so
periodically enforced at the dock-yards by all
his predecessors since the agitation Of the ten
hour system, as established by President Van
Buren, And why, may ask, should not our
city Councils express an opinion in behalf of
their constituents and neighbors? Some few
of our timorous souls fear that the interference
of Councils will injure our city pecuniary in
terests; that the indignation of Government
will be hurled on our heads; that the public
works will be stopped, and that we will be
rained people. Mayhdp some of those who
fear desire the result, rather than that working
men should be allowed time to enjoy their first
meal under the light of the morning sun. Those
clothed with power we respect because of their
office and worth-their indignation we fear not
they are men who ultimately must yield to time
American citizens express strong feelings in
behalf of the interests of the working-classes
in Europe, in behalf of the great Hungarian,
and in behalf of the Irish patriots. The writer,
too, -sympathizes with the oppressed millions of
other nations; yet he likes to look at home.
Now, the writer knows not any regulation en-
forced yerging nearer to European despotism
than that of debarring men time IAN hour) to
cook and eat their first meal under the rays of
the morning sun-than that of taking adpan-
tage Of the circumstances of the laboring classes,
and of demanding their labor until twilight
or that of intimating, if other regulations are
established as it respects time, that portion of
their hard-earn dollar shall be curtailed. A
word from the President can set this matter
right, and thereby make many hearts grateful.
A nobler order could not be issued on the 9th
instant, THANKSGIVING DAY.

The Hon. n. j. walker.

1t has been repeatedly said in England, by
Kossuth, Lord Palmerston, and others, that Mr..
Walker was probable future President Of the
United States and many editors Of the United
States appear disposed to use these remarks to
the disadvantage of Mr.. Walker, and to repre-
sent him as the nominee of these gentlemen.
In this they are mistaken. Mr.. Walker has
long been earnestly talked Of by his fellow-citi-
zens as a candidate for the Presidency and the
suggestion of his name at the banquets in Eng
land is but the echo of the wishes of no incon-
siderable portion Of the American people. If
high statesmnnship unsupported patriotism and
integrity, the most severe industry, and years
Of patient and honorable toll in the service of
his country, can constitute claim upon the
then does Mr.. Walker possess those affections
and, possessing them, he cannot be injured by
the unjust and illiberal attacks of portion OF
our press, made upon the shallow ground that
he is the nominee Of foreign influence. In
the views Of Mr.. Walker upon at least some
questions of Importance in our national policy,
we do not wholly concur; but that in all his
purposes, and in every pulsation of his heart,
he is American, and that American prosperity
is the object dearest to him, his countrymen do
not need to be convinced: and they who do not
desire to coerce the great party to which he is
attached into selecting him as their candidate
In '52, had as well not venture on holding him
up as q mark for the barbless arrows of their
wit.

The spire Of the First Presbyterian Church
in Cincinnati is to be carried to an elevation of
272 feet--higher than any other in the United
States. The top is to be an immense hand
pointing upwards.-Erch.
This spirit Of ostentation in Christian churches
must appear very ridiculous to the close readers
Of the Scriptures Gaudy architecture, won
derful stseples, and ponderous bells appear to
be objects of great veneration to the most de-
vout. To crafty the credulous admiration Of
the vulgar was once not a part Of the Christian
example. "A comedy building is not inappro-
pirate, but extravagant establishment surely
is; and, what is more, these are the convic-
tions Of Presbyterians themselves
We have somewhere read that church bells
were first adopted, not to summon worshippers,
evil spirits away. Whether this be true or not,
If evil spirits do not like tumble Of gathering
sounds, the purpose would nowadays be eff
fectualy accomplished; for while, in the null
tiplicity Of bells, few persons can distinguish
fhat Of their own churches respectively, and
the utility Of the thing is thus lost as means
Of calling to worship at any precise moment,

We have heard the Rev. Mr. Gurley describe
the obsequies Of deceased African savage,
and terrifying noises to fright the spirits Of
evil away were most prominent among these
rites. We would freely vote as 8 donation to

duce our religionists to unite with others in

Kossuth continued to be the great object OF
