AMERICAN TELEGRAPH

A HARD TAsK-The New York Courier of
Saturday devoted nine columns of that NAM
moth sheet to the task of showing that Kossuth
and his associates are entitled to "none of our
sympathies, and but little of our respect" The
difficulty of this task may be inferred from the
length of the article. The Courier thinks that
t,oenty-sepen points are clearly demonstrated in
its argument the last of which is,
"That, as republican and Christian peo-
pie, We have cause to rejoice in the fall OF Kos
suth and should give thanks to the Almighty
Ruler of the Universe, that through that Proyi-
dental event he has graciously liberated from
bondage nine millions of the Sclavonic race,
and bestowed upon them personal freedom and
a fair share of political liberty"
Mr.. Fillmore will please appoint the day
when this national thanksgiving shall take
place.-Phila Ledger.
PUBLIC DEFAULTERs.--We have received a
copy of a communication to the Legislature of
the State Treasurer, showing the number of
public defaulters and the various amounts they
owe the Commonwealth, as appears by the books
in the State Treasury Office. Philadelphia
figures up quite a large amount, though some
Of the sums are so small that one would suppose
the individuals would settle them at once, and
not have their names annually published. The
following little items are not to be sneezed at :
one Of $40, 036, another of $40, 317, another of
$15,917, one Of $4, 009 one of ST. ,087 all of
which, with one exception, are in suit.--Phila.
Ledger.
A PROSPECTUS has been issued in Germany

LEVERETTS LATIN LEXICON,

ENLARGED AND IMPROVED, compiled chiefly from
ia the Magnum Totius Latintatis Lexicon at Faccioah
and Forceni and the German works of Scheler Lue
nemann embracing ALSO the classical distinctions OF
Words and the chronological Index from Freunds Lexi
con.
The present edition of this standard and favorite Latin
Lexicon has been much improved by the transfer to it's
columns of the classical distinctions of Latin words,
given in the Lexicon of Dr. VIM. Freund Of Germany,
and translated by Riddle The classical degree of each
word is indicated by figure; for example, word lood
figure is fully classical and CIcerofdn io the figures
l. 2, and g. words classical only in the first,
ond &c. degrees; and this distinction the student per-
eeiyes at glance The chronological Index also from
Freunds Lexicon has been Incorporated into the present
edition of Leveret and will be found valuable acquis
ton. While transferring these notes and marks, cata-
ogues carefully kept of the words found in each
Lexicon, which not found in the other On compsr
ing these catalogues 1t found that the value and i'm
portance of the additional words found in Lcyeret far
knowledge of the Latin language is concerned,
exceeds that of those found in Riddles Freund The
extensive of Levcrets Lexicon in all parts of the
country, and the preference which has been universally
given to il all similar works, render its recommended
ton superfuous; but attention TO this edition is
respectfully invited, being still worthy than its
predecessors of the distinguished favor which the work
has hitherto received
