the Special Organ OF the Administration, ~"d As'-
suth.
In explaining how il that the address OF 'he noos
Hungarian to the people of the United States forfeited It's
right 10 appear in the columns OF the Republic thai Jour
nal uses the following language
If the address of M Kossuh had been furnished us o.
with lis in the journals TO when We
feer, should have been most happy 10 publish as
document Of Than ordinary interest; out w"'n, mo

Justly expect that any administration newspaper IN ths cry
will seek give unasked, and therefore probably uhao
sired, circulation a document OF this description
cit is likely enough that have not given way 70 me
sntusyrusy which has been manifested by certain NEW
York journalists in this eonnexon Tor we nave ho e
facility of comprehendDg affairs by intuitlon OF
deciding az eathedra the merits Of reyolnonss and
prima donnas which gives such decided and emphatic
the specualons of our commercial cotempofafes
We frequently observed that the good people oil The
United remain quite cool and collected under events
convulse the city OF New York to The centre ana we
should be surprised the penny newspapers derive an
ample harvest from getting kossuh excitement In na
metropolis, without Iuling the surface OF affairs In var
ginia or Tennessee"
These are strange ideas and they made still more
strange by the attempt dspaage the character OF Kos
suth OF the in which he has spoken OF
the English constitution, conrased with the despotism
| which made him exile. Adver.ing TO the enthusiasm
OF the Tammany Hall democracy before which Mr. Cory
placed republicanism as far in advance OF the
British monarchy this latter government s in advance
OF the desposms OF Austria and Russia, the Republic
has the bad taste TO say:
.'Nolhng short necromancy reconcile these
cting expressions OF opinion. There must be egregions
error, scandaons Justification, one side or the other
Who right Tammapy Hall democrat the Hunga
rian hero Cory or Kossuih 7"
The feelings inspired by such sentiments the above
are not those which would prompt TO assai admin.
istra,on claiming the RICH, TO supesede the democratic
party in the administration Of the government We
would prefer that the organ Of this administration should
stand up boldly in tie vndcation OF the ideas which
belong national pride and the pre- eminence which
we claim for our republican institutions II gives us no
pleasure to zee this tone Of feeling abandoned by any ad
minisralion Of any party in our land
J In publishing the address OF Kossulh which was trans
lated for us and carefully corrected in the office OF the
Washington Union, nothing could be further from our
intention than claim for the democratic party any ex-
elusive sympathy for the Hungarian or its hero
We published it just as we did Mr. Websiers patriotic
speech the Inauguration Of the extension OF the Capt.
toll on the 4h of July as-never stopping to consider
whether its first appearance in the New York Herald or
in the special organ dictated by any thought OF
tesy or discouresy TO journal. The public had
interest in that speech and hence spread before
readers the momen, had it in our power to do SO.
But the special organ publish the address Of
Kossuth because il first appeared in the Washington
Union! This man. hdhored by every lover OF freedom
throughout the world speak through the columns
of the Washington Union 10 the readers OF the Republic,
because the dignity OF lis editor has been offended by its
not being furnished 10 him simultaneously wih other
journals!
We put 10 the candos OF all intelligent If such
earpng unworthy Of the liberal views which ought
TO characterize journal representing the President and
his cabinet and it, coupled with the gross attempt pre-
JUDGE the American mind against the Hungarian patriot
and hero on Of his feelings towards the British
monarchy il does not manifest culpable indifference TO
the national feeling of the people OF the United States
Another quotation, however, is necessary 10 show how
far below the point OF true dignity the Republic has de-
scended in order 10 depecase the character OF kossu,h
1t is in the following words:
"We confess that is matter OF surprise
contemporaries overlook the fact that
NJ Kossu,h failed express single sentiment Of sym patty
poor IRELAND, while he euogzing in terms OF
,uaded the liberal institutions and purposes
OF ENGLAND"
\ Here it is innnated a fault that kossuth has moi
verified the ISLANDERS which had been pre- vousy circulated
against him under the sanction OF OF the smployfs
of the administration. He did not aude to the unfou-
male Irish because it not his sphere interfere with
the existing institutions of England. II he had done
so. he would have given pretext for the statements
which credited beforehand that he an agra
an red republican, and nfurate desperate. turned
loose upon the world II is but eviden, that the
Republic has suffered its offended dignity TO unite suui
taneouiy with the London Times and its allies instead
of joining simultaneously with the Washington Union,

feeling in favor of exied virtue Patriotism and herosm
A New Mode OF Blasting
In order TO blast rocks whether above or below the
water has heretofore been generally considered neccs-
sary have the powder either within under the rock
TO be blown up. But ii appears from the operations al
iur Gate that this not at all necessary when the rock
is under the water-hat putting the charge the
rock, and having the weight OF the superintendent
water as a fucrum. it is almost easy TO blow rock
dorm as i, is 10 blow itup.
In illustration Of what has been done in this way and
evidence of the value OF this mode OF blasting
permitted TO copy the following interesting letter
TO Lieut. Maury, from Mr. Merriam.
