unfortunate Russian author felt to his cost.

the Ubiquitous venality of the public functionares,

FRANKLIN INSTITUTE.

Mr.. HOLDEN: Allow me to express through the
columns of your paper something of the pleasure and
entertainment which met me few days ago in the
little burg of Cedar Rock.
The occasion was the Semi-Annual Examination of
the Students of the franklin Institute. The merits
of this Furnishing School must be too well known in
the neighboring Counties for finger in detail up
on that points but having been for years stran-
ger this section OF country, my pleasure was great
ly enhanced by surprise at the rapid nay, unequaed
march of civilization and refinement, which has been
effected during that tme in Cedar Rock Surely has
the desert been made to blossom and the wilderness
TEEN with active life.
Carolina can scarcely afford peasanter or more
advantageous situation for permanent and flourish
ing School; and if may be allowed to Judge from
the exhibition OF that day, teacher is better quail
fed to superintend and sustain such School, than
the talented and energetic Mr. Richardson, its pres
ent faithful Freceptor.
In two essential characteristics of young gentle
mans education, the students excelled particularly
EIocution and Composition. Being thoroughly dis
ciplined in the former, they spoke with ease and firm
ness, apparently filled with the zeal which in.
spired the authors from whom they quoted.
The exercises closed by instructive and eloquent
address from DR.. ]. B. Outlaw, well calculated to
impress the minds of all present with deeper
of the importance of higher and more energetic and
thorough mental and moral culture. We think that
minds more dormant than those of the pupils who
gave him such f1attering attention, might have been
awakened to nobler ambition under the influence of
his words.
Nor was the night less pleasant than the day.
party, given.by the students, complimentary to Mr..
and Mrs. Richardson, while it gave to the mind a
pleasing relaxation excited much pleasure by its in
nocent merriment, and the admirable decorum and
elegance with which every thing was conducted. We
wondered not at the superior ambition and pride to
excel, apparent in Mr.. RS students, when found
ourselves at leisure to look around upon the fair ia
and bright eyes of Cedar Rock and vicinity. The
beautiful Misses o. and Miss T. with their friends,
from Louisburg, Wake and Nash, formed circle of
beauty which it has seldom been my happy lot to
admire. Indeed, could almost feel that two-score
years had left no chill in my hearts currents, it
warmed under the light Of eyes, which every where
looked joy to "eyes which spake again. :"
In conclusion, let me recommend to every parent
who wishes his to receive the benefit of tho
rough mental training under the most virtuous and
refining influences, to send him to this most excel
lent Institute. G.

MR.. BADGER,

We sregret that Mr.. Badger, one of the Senators
from this State, iet it to be his duty adopt the
course he has towards Louis Kossuth. He not only
voted against simple Resolution of welcome that
distinguished patriot but he went out of his way to
denounce him "political emmissary,'' and argu-
ed to prove the struggle in Hungary not for
Republican institutions.
position in relation to foreign Intervention is
well known to our readers. We admire Kossuth-we
honor the memories of Hungary's fallen sons, and
we trust in God that Hungary may yet be free but
would have this government practically inter-
in the affairs of Europe, or take up against
Russia or Austria in behalf of Hungary. This is our
position. Our government has right to protest
against the conduct of Russia, and hope it will
do so when the struggle again commences in Hunga-
ry, in case Russia should go forward second time
to the assistance of Austria; and our people have
right to express their sympathy for the downtrodden.
and to contribute their money, they now doing,
to the holy of liberty. Judge Doug las has TAX
en- the common.sense view of this matter, in his late
Speech in the Senate, which we publish to-day. Read
that Speech, and then read Mr. Badgers the same
subject; and then think of the difference between
the generous and noble-hearted Douglas, and the
clear-headed but cold-hearted Mr.. Badger. r.. q
"political emissary''! Why an emissary'' is
spy-a secret agent-a man sent to explore, find
State Secrets and report to his masters. Is Kos
suth man of this stampl NO-a thousand times
NO! He is a patriot-one of liberty's foremost
championships organ in the face of the whole world,
of twelve millions of brave painting for indepen-
dence and the light of his deeds and the fires of his
eloquence not only shining upon but warming
and thrilling the nations. political emissary"!
Who sent him here :! The people and the Republican
impulses of his own great heart. Who brought him
here? The Congress of the United States; and in
stead of finding sympathy and words of welcome from
Mr.. Badger, he is with misrepresentation of his
course and his motives, and cold repulse! The
Turk received him and honored him, but North Car
olinas Senator turns him from the door of national
hospitality with ting and ungenerous words! A
Christian hero the Mohammedan receives him to his
bosom, and shares with him his salt ard his bread ;
Christian hero, and friend of liberty, North Caro-
lna's Senator would repel him, and would have the
world regard him as an impostor and a spy! We
denounce, disown, and utterly repudiate the deed.
North Cardinals voice spoke not then and there.
The first State this continent to proclaim her indie
pendencs of the British crown, she will be the last
uuderrate the efforts of nations conending for lib
erty, to cold to the appeals of freedoms
champions.
We gave Mr.. Badgers remarks in our last issue
and again invite the attention of our readers to
those of Judge Douglas, in our paper to-day.
