LETTER FROM KossurH.-A letter
from this distinguished Hungarian exile,
addressed to the citizens of the United
States, has just beer published. 1t fills
five columns in the Republic. II was
written as far back as the 9th of March,
and IFS publication has been delayed
lest its appearance might defeat the
measures then pending for Kossuth's
release.
The letter is an expression of the
gratitude of the people of Hungary, to
those of the United States, for the SYM
pathy which they exhibited in the late
revolutionary struggle in Hungary, and
gives, at the same time. an account of
that struggle.
Kossuth commences by saying, that,
two years previous to March, 1850. he
held in his hand the destiny of the reign
ing house Of Austria, and that, notwith-
standing his power over that treache-
rous family. he abstained from crushing
it, and only asked such terms or con-
cessions as, in the then condition of
Hungary, seemed best fitted to secure
the happiness of his countrymen. On
this head Kossuth says:
| asked OF the King, not the complete
independence of my beloved country
not even anv new rights or privileges
but simply these three things:
First. That the inalienable rights
sanctioned by a thousand years, aRd by
the constitution OF my fatherland, should
be guaranteed by a national and respon-
sible administration.
Second. That every inhabiiant of
my country, without regarding language
or religion, should be free and equal be-
fore the laval classes having the same
privileges and protection from the law.
Third. That all the people OF the
Austrian empire that acknowledge the
same person as Emperor whom we Hun
garians recognise as King, and the same
law of succession, should have restored
their ancient constitutional rights, Of
which they had been unjustly despoiled,
modified to suit their wants and the
spirit of the age.

ton of Wood:
"The Democratic candidate for
Governor has succeeded in Ohio, a
Wing State. Gov. Wood, a candi-
date acceptable 10 the Free Soil par
ty, and generally supported by them,
goes back to the Executive chair by
about fifteen thousand majority-a
very remarkable and significant VIC
toryI The Wing candidate, Mr..
Vinton, is one Of the class called
Union men-one who would never
reform a wrong, or redress an exis-
ting grievance, or repeal or change
bad law, unless there was a good
party reason for it. All that attach
ment 10 the compromise measures
could do for the candidate, was done
for him and against his competitor;
yet, in State where the Wings have
more than half the votes, he is left
in a mortifying minority"
What say those strong Union and
compromise men hereabouts, who
Iabored zealously against Vinton and
for Wood, to this boasted Abolition
triumph.

HANerNo on Kossurn AND FnrEnDs

HAEerNe or KossUTH AND FRIEEDs
IN EEFreY.-Ths Vienna correspon.
dent Of the London Daily News
writes thus. in regard to this matter
briefly mentioned in the telegraph
accounts
On the 22d September, early, ths
names and efigies Of the Hungarian
fugitives were publicly executed by
hanging them h the market place Of
Pesth, with all the dreadful solemni-
ties which accompany the execution
Of human being. Disappointed in,
their passionate desire to wreak the
most frightful vengeance on the head
of Kossuth and bis friends, the Aus
trian government has hung them in
efigy. The Mirror, or Pesth, re-
ports the fact in the simple terms
which a state Of siege permits.
The military were drawn out and
formed into a square, within which
there appeared the usual gallows.
The officer in command read th5
sentence Of the court-nartial, accor-
ding to which SO persons were SEN
fenced to death in efhgy, having been
tried in continuation, (Auglice, whils
fugitives from justice,) and found
guilty of high treason. The sem
ience having been read, the hangman
was ordered to do his duty, which
he did by hanging up a string of
black boards, on which the name Oh
the sentenced criminals we're writ
ten.
OF course the military were indTS-
yensable, otherwise the populace
would instantly have torn down the
boards and hung the hangman and
his commanding officer in their place.
A WTTTY TRUTH.-The celebra-
ted DR.. Johnson said that in epi-
grams truth was generally sacrificed
to points; but we insert below case
in which truth adds point to the
sentiment. At celebration Of tho
last 4th Of July, in Paris, by a num-
Der OF Americans, the following was.
one Of the toasts given at the BAN
quei:
"THe Cartridgs.6Or, The 6allOt-boz,
and the Bdnd-bor: The external,
the internal, and the eternal repre-
ssrvatives Of RepubIicanism."
This (says cotemporary) is the
best toast ever drank on the fourth Of
July, in America or Europe. 1t is
worthy Of being placed at the head
of Lord Bacon's apothegms. Ths
true spirit oil philosophy, patriotism,
and beauty pervade the whole sentf-
ment, in every word and idea. The
cartridge-box, in the hands oil brave
men, may be the defence Of republi-
canism from "external" enemiesS
and the ballot-box, kept pure, may
preserve republicanism from all ain
ternal'' enemies, the Secessionists
and Abolitionists not excepted. But
the "band box" is the "eternal pre-
servatiye Of republicanism," and, it
may be added, Of everything else
worth preserving.

GaIuIn Counsy-.he ExpuauasIou.

We confess we did not at first un-
derstand why Mr.. Vinton did not re-
ceiye the Wing strength Of his own
county for Governor. But we have
learned the history Of the case, and
will state the facts as we understand
them.
When the nominations for county
officers were about to be made by
the people, there were two candi-
dates for Probate Judge. One of
them, young lawyer by the name
Of Vance, pressed his claims, but
failed of a nomination. He was
young, comparatively poor, and the
post would have been very desirable
to him. He bad influential friends
in Gallipolis who also felt a strong
desire that be should be the Probate
Judge. A few days before the cleo
ton the promir snt Locofocos ap-
preached Vance and bis friends, and
said to them-"Vance ought 10 have
been nominated for Probate Judge.
He needs the post and is capable Of
filling it. Now we, the Democrats,
will vote for Vance for Judge, if you,
Vance and your friends, will vote for
Wood for Governor. You know
Vinton; he is well off, and does not
need the Office Of Governor" &C.
This offer was accepted, and carried
out in good faith on both Sides
Vance and his friends voted for
Wood, and this, Of course, reduced
the vote TOR Vinton. In Gallipolis
some twenty Wings were wheedled
into this bargain.
1t is a consolation, however, to
know that this scheme failed to elect
Vance. These trading Wings have
had the rare consolation OF getting
beaten all round, and of feeling a
that they had disgraced
by their friends. Served
