Kos.uTm-We cut the following from let
ter dated at Spczzia, Sept 81, which we find in
The North .7mcrican.
Gov. Kossuth has had an interview with Com,
Morgan at the quarantine ground. The Cover
ner seems disappointed at the result. He was
in hopes that the ship would be dispatched forth
with on her way to Gibral'er; and now, fearing
that the delay here may defeat his object be
lieve he has determined not to 90 to the United
States, but to leave the ship at Gibraltcr. We
find him most charming and agreeable person,
and We feel more than ever convinced that he is
a very extraordinary and great man. ] wi sh
that he could be among the people Of the United
States Scr short time, and have an interview
with her statesmen; but believe this will not
happen for certain is it that the interview of to-
day with the Commodore has disappointed him.
Perhaps, for political reasons, the Commodore
decided adversely to his solicitations. One OF
his requests, as have reason to believe, was to
be permitted to leave the ship for few days a t
Gibralter, and then return on board.

GENUINE SPECIMEN OF ON FEDERALisM.-
The following extracts are taken from secret
Circular, issued by the Wing Central Commit
tee of Franklin County, addressed to landlords
and employers, and signed by one JOHN M;
PUMROY, Chairman. The faithful are urged
to action in the following language:
"They should also urge upon them (the' rich
farmers and landlords) to exert their influence
upon their tenants and laboring men who may
be of doubtful or different politics to vote the
wing ticket; much can be done in this way Tor
there are very few farmers or mechanics wh"
cannot persuade those about them to vote as
they wish, if the proper effort is made
Again, this precious document, says:
acct your friends to operate upon their ten
ants and hands, and ascertain your strength, Dc
ready at the polls on the day Of election, Sc
cure the doubtful votes first, mark off your ne'
as they vote, and see that none remain away.

The only difference between Seward, and
those who have violated solemn law. of the
land, is that the former is shrewd enough TO
evade the penalties of the law, while his satelli-
ties are not Seward course morally, is as law
less and disrepuabe as those who arc bound
over to answer for their crimes, and had he lived
and put forth his I" Higher law dogmas, in the
DAYS of Washington and Jefferson, with the
same pernicious effect, which they have produc.
ed upon the present public sentiment, he would
have been confined in dungeon, or transported
to a gallows Not only does he scatter his IN
fernal poison broad cast in the land, but he even
offers bounty for the commission Of crime and
canonizcs the victims of his spurious phlan

can we expect to avoid the repetition of suct

to obstruct the peaccable administration Of the

soundness in this position. Although we can
conceive Of hut one ground as tcnable, namely

Mr.. f. c. Lyon, we are informed, recently sold

were in wild and unimproved state, we cow,
almost daily hear of improved farms changing

people should be encouraged, better time is

THE Boston REscUE-The InteHigencer pub
llhes the reports of the majority and minority OF
the Judiciary Committee Of the Senate, in re-
Spouse to the Message of the President relative
to the recent rescue case in Boston. The major
ity, through Mr.. BRADBURY of Maine, report that
the Committee are of opinion that the Executive
officers of the Government possess ample power
to inforce the Fugitive Law without the aid OF
further legislation.
Mr.. BUTLER of s. c., presented a minority re
port in which he agrees with the majority that it
is unnecessary at this time to legislate on the
subject referred to in the Message but denies
"that the President has right to employ the ar.
my and navy for suppressing insurrectiOn, &C.,
without observing the same prerequisites pre-
scribed for him in calling out the militia for the
same purpose"

position of ministry under his leadership,
or indeed under anybOdy's, is oflittle worth.
1t is doubtful whether stable Government
can be formed withouta dissolution of Par
lament and an appeal to the Country.
In FRANCE the Schism betwixt the
Assembly and the President is not repaired.
In GERMANY the joint usurpatiOn of Aus
tria and Prussia is rapidly advancing to its
contamination. A demonstration against
Switzerland to recover Neufchatel for
Prussia seems near at hand. Logically
this ought to be done. The independence
of that little Canton is the last relic of l848,
connected with Prussia or any of the Ger
man States. 1t must be extinguished.
Italy is in terror about Garibaldi, who is
said to be at Genoa, ready to overturn the

u Morality informs US that he has been
greatly shocked and scandalized by recent com.
munication in The Tribune, giving an account in
scriptursl phraseology of the arrest and rescue Of
the slave Shadrach in Boston-an article which
he characterizes as irreverent and blasphemOus.
We dare say he is right-that is the only article
from the pen of an officiating clergyman that we
have knowingly published in several weeks. We
will endeavor to scrutinize more carefully emana'
tons from like sources hereafter.
But Morality has lesson to take himself,
and we proceed to administer it. Does he not
know that it is very dastardly act to assail
another's act or course yet skulk from response

REMOVAL OF Mr.. EwBANK.-The Pre-
sident, in suspending Mr.. Ewbank as Com
missioner of Patents, has made a grave
mistake. The best of men make mistakes,
but not many have a chance to equal this
one. Mr.. Ewbank is thorough mechan
ician, of the most inAexible integrity, and
knows more of Inventions and Patents
than any other live man. He is no poll
tieian, and the bar-room ISLANDERS that he IS
an Abolitionist, &C., are baseless and con-
temptible. 1t does not take great man
to remove such an officer, but it will re-
quire one of extraordinary capacity to sup
ply his place.
Mr.. George T. Curtis, who is reported as
Mr.. Els successor, is successful lawyer
in Boston, and we should think the salary
of this Office no temptation to him. We
are not advised as to his qualifications for
Patent Commissioner, but on the subject of
catching runaway slaves he is perfectly
sound according to the exalted standard
of the Union and Safety Committee. If
he is as we'll qualified for Commissioner of
Patents as for Commissioner under the Flu
gitive Slave Law, we shall commend his
appointment, though not its occasion.

TREATIES BEFORE THE SESATE--There are
now before the Senate for ratification the follow

that with Portugal, providing for settling the dis
puted debt; and that with Mexico, setting apart
a tract Of land for the Tehuantepec Railroad,
twenty.one miles wide on each side of the pro-
