What is Northern or National Democracy?
The following is an editorial article from the
Washington Union
MASSACHUSETTS REPREsEETATlvE ELECTION
the towns where elections were held on Monday,
with the exception of two only, heard from. The
Boston Journal puts pown the result Including those
previously elected, as follows:
Democrats and free soiters. 1900
Wings. 1877
This gives democratic majority of three in the
House. with the possibility Thai may be reduced to
one, but with no chance for Wing majority. 1t as
sumss a so, that the Wings have elected their candi-
date in North Chelsea where The result is said to be
ono cnoce," and assumes that the Wings had preyi.
ously elected one hundred and seyentylwo me mbers
which is disputed.
But the grand result cannot be affected by these
matters Beyond dispute. the Coalitionsls have got
the House. The Senate they had before by major
iy of six.
Now, Southern men, mark we'll the fsct that
the Washington organ here speaks openly of the
Free Sellers of Massachusetts, as constituting
part (and in fact they much the larger part of
the democratic majority of three in the House"
AS evidence of the manner in which the Democrat,
rally to the support of the Free Solers it is mention
ed by the Boston Atas that not single one Of the sin
domitable" Democrats OF The last Legislature who vo-
ted against Mr.. Sumner has been again re.urned-
Sush is the National Democracy of Nj assachu.etts
The Hon. Charles Allen, the noted Free Soiler,
at late Coalition caucus at Worcester, thus gave
the word to his Free Soil followers:
"The Free soil and Democratic parties would be
one IN the next Presidential election that the Demo
cratic party very carrying. every Northern State and
me wing party were carving The Southern States which
ifso proves the Democratic party to be the Northe
and the Wings the Southern party"
Upon this the Connecticut Courant wing ssjour-
nal, we'll remarks:
"li these Coalitions are carried much further, will
not The honest of the Democratic party soon dis
cover where the true Union party isl"

From the New York Tribune.
Description of Kossuth.

Governor Kossuth is rather taller than we
had supposed, and his face has an expression of
penetrating intellect which is not indicated in
any portrait VIC have seen. 1t is long, the fore
head broad, but not excessively high, though a
slight badness makes it seem so, and the chin
narrow, but square in its form. His hair is
thin in front and of dark brown, as is his beard,
which is quite long, but not very thick, and
arranged with neatness and taste. His mus
tache is heavy and rather long. His eyes are
very large and of q light blue; his complexion
is pale, like that of man who is not in perfect
health; and his appearance yesterday was that
of the spirit bearing up against the exhaustion
of the body. lie was sen. sick during the passage,
and had not slept for two or three nights. His
manner in speaking is at once incomparably dig
nifed and graceful. Gestures more admirable
and effective and play of countenance more eX
pressive and magnetic, we remember in no other
public speaker. lie stands quite erect and does
not bend forward like some orators, to give en-
phasis to n sentence. His posture and appear
ance in repose is imposing, not only from their
essential grace and dignity, but from n sense
of power they impress upon the beholder.
This sense of unused power, this certainty that
he is not making an effort and doing his ut
most, but that behind all this strength of fas-
cnation there are other treasures of strength,
other stores of ability not brought into use,
possibly never brought into use, is, perhaps,
what constitutes the supreme charm Of his ora
tory. He speaks as if with little preparation,
and with that peculiar freshness which be-
longs to an extemporaneous speaker; there is
no effort about it, and the wonderful compact
ness and art Of his argument are not felt until
you reflect upon it afterward.. His every move
ment is perfectly easy, and he gesticulates n
good deal, equally well with either arm No
thing could be more beautiful in its way than
the sweep Of his right hand as it was raised to
heaven when he spoke Of the Deity. Nothing
swecter than the smile which at times mantles
his face. His voice is not very loud, and more
evinced exhaustion than either his face or his
general bearing but it was heard distinctly
through the large pavilion. Beyond a doubt
he is the greatest of orators now living, and we
shall not easily believe that in that capacity he
has ever been excelled.
In speaking, Kossuth occasionally referred
to notes which lay on the stand before him.
He was dressed after the Hungarian fashion, in
black velvet tunic, single breasted, with stand
ing collar and transparent black buttons. He
also wore an overcoat or sack Of black velvet
with broad fur and loose sleeves. He wore
light kid gloves.
Generally his English is fluent and distinct,
with marked foreign accent, though at times
this is not at oil apparent He speaks rather

Duke of Anhalt, Duke Gothen, Duke of Saxony,
Eugern and Westphalia, Count Of Askania, and
Lord of Zerbst, Bcrnberg and Grobzig," has
just issued q proclamation, abolishing, on his
sole high and mighty authority, the constitution
of the duches over which he is so grand po-
tentate. The population of these duchies is
about the same as that of Cologne--under
10000 souls; but this pigmy prince steps for
ward, nevertheless, to express the real senti-
ments of the Federal Diet Of all Germany.

BE GENTLEMEN AT HoME-There are few
families, we imagine, anywhere, in which love
is not abused as furnishing license for impo-
liteness A husband, father, or brother will
speak harsh words to those whom he loves the
best, and to those who love him the best, simply
because the security of love and family pride
keeps him from getting his head broken. 1t is
a shame that man will speak more impolitely,
at times, to his wife or sister, than he would
dare to any other female, except q low and
vicious one. 1t is thus that the holiest affec-
tons Of mans nature prove to be a weaker pro-
lection to women in the family circle than the
restraints of society, and that woman usually
is indebted for the kindest politeness of life to
those not belonging to her own household.
Things ought not so to be. The man who, be-
cause it will not be resented, inficts his spleen
and bad temper upon those of his hearth stone,
is a small coward, and n mean man. Kind
words are the circulating medium between true
gentlemen and true ladies at home, and no pol
ish exhibited in society can atone for the harsh
language and disrespectful treatment too often
INDUCED in between those bound together by
Gods own ties of blood, and the still more sa-
cred bonds Of conjugal love.

How TO SPEAK IN PuBLIC.-When you mount
the stand, be puzzled where to put your hat.
Look round, as though you were quite cool and
collected, and suddenly put your hat upon the
floor. Turn then to the audience, pass your
fingers lightly and gracefully through your hair,
and say, E" Fellow -citizens;" extend your right
hand, put your left on your vest on whichever
side it is your private opinion your heart lies,
swell out your chest as though all the goddesses
of liberty in the world had left their respective
countries, but had taken board and lodging in
your expansive BOSOM and were now struggling
to find their way out at the front door. Re-
press their generous efforts for awhile, and
then out with them in blaze of glory.
