REPUBLICAN PRoPAGANDIsM.-lt Is becoming a
somewhat frequent thing the part OF our orators
to counsel the United States to " more direct in
terpostion in favor of European republicanism.' -
This was supposed to DO the particular mission of
Franco at the outbreak and during the progress Of
the French revolution. 1t the pretext by which
Napoleon levied his conscripts and involved the
whole of Europe in the boodiest wars. 1t origi-
mated the necessity for the Holy Alliance for the
maintenance of monarchy. Now, we have no such
mission before US. nation has quite enough to
do TO take care of it's concerns. Wars will
arise often enough, simply from the necessity of
asserting our own rights and the rights OF our
commerce and people. This wild-goose chaee
after republicanism in foreign countries will only
lead to the ruin of our own. Republicanism grows
with sufficient rapidity as it is. IL needs no sue.
cor. Ii is necessarily progressive. Besides, we
arc not often right in our appreciation OF the true
characteristics of foreign sentiment. We fancy,
for example, that our sympathcs were given to
repubcanism in the Magyar revolution; yet the
probability lie that they directly the reverse.
II is mere vanity and impertinence to fancy that
we selected to set right the affairs OF other ma
tons, an opinion which we may reasonably dis
trust, seeing how manystrifes and eart-burnings-
how many smoking VOLCANOES are under our own
feet--the strict result of our wild admlnistra-
ton of affairs at home. Our policy is to let the
hounds of power in Europe tear each other as they
may. If We take part at all, it should be only to
cheer them on. The sooner they achieve the mu-
tual victory of the cats famous in Kilkenny, by
which both are destroyed, the better for our peace
and prosperity on this side of tho Atlantic To
mix ourselves up with their disputes unnecessarily
is gratuitous insanity, as il is most impairment
presumption. - Charleston Neics.

sRN We have not been able to find space t,
chronicle all the proceedings of Kossuth, nor d.
we deem it Unnecessary. His reception and enter
tainment in Philadelphia, were worthy of tn,
reputation that city enjoys for hospitaty--tht
speeches, all round, are rather flat. AT the concu
sion of the great dinner after Kossuth had spo
ken and retired, the following scene took place
1t will be remarked that if Kossuth did not carry
the army with him, he secured the Judiciary.
The fourth regular toast was " The Army O.
the United States"
Col. MONTGOMERY, in responding, took occa
sion to express, in decided terms the hope ano
conviction that our government and people
would in no case depart from the line of policy
marked out by the past, not to enter into any
wild crusades in other lands. His remarks were
received with demonstrations ofapplause by
portion of the audience.
In responding to toast in honor of the Penn
sylvania Volunteers, Gen. Patterson fully en-
dorsed the views of Col. Montgomery-his re.
marks being received with mingled Kisses and
applause, he lost his temper completely and
called on some one in his vicinity to knock down
those who annoyed him in reply, he was re.
quested to sit down himself, but was permitted
to proceed in order.
The Bench and the Bar was then toasted
Judge Kane responded; he believed that the ad
vent of KossUTH upon our shores was indicative
of a new era, not only in the history of this coun
try, but of the world. Great cheering His
eloquence had taught the people of the United
States to review certain political dogmas they
had received by tradition and adopted with ven
Grafton, without ever inquiring whether circum
stances had not so changed as to make those
dogmas inapplicable 10 American policy. Grea
applause.
The duties of man, originally bounded by tn,
omestead-afterwards expanding around tn,
social circle-had now wider orbit than tn,
country in which it pleased God to give hin
birth; where there was a man, there man ha
found brother Applause. Judge Kan
concluded with giving as sentiment, 9TH
cause of human freedom throughout the world
its enemies are the same everywhere, and VIII
should not its allies be the same" Applause
loud and long continued.
| Colonel Cummings, of the Erening Bulletin
mil ly rebuked precipitance and advocated tn
cause of the distinguished guest.
Mr.. Morton McMichael eulogzed KossuT
and his cause, and babe him God speed on hi
mission--he was for rendering him substanti,
financial aid but he would be unfaithful to hi
honest conviction if he did not declare himse
opposed to all governmental interference in tn
affairs of foreign country. In conclusion h
gave the sentiment -" KossUTH and his cause
| God bless them J" drank with nine cheers.
Judge Kelly, Of the Court of Quarter Sc,
sions, made an eloquent argument in support {
the foreign policy presented by KossUTH-h
} also rebuked in pointed language, those who ba
so inopportunely thrown cold water on I'll

AHeyeI Application.

Under the bounty land act Of September,
l850-that month in which the last compromise
was made of the rights of the Southern States
an application has been made to the Pension
Office, by volunteer, against the State of South
Carolina, in 1882.
The applicant afrms that he volunteered in
Dauphin county, Pennsylvania, in August, or
September, 1882, for an indefinite term, and was
actually in the military service of the United
States in the war with South Carolina to sup
press the insurgents or nufers.
And two witnesses testify that he was in the
South Carolina and that they saw him start,
and saw him return ike--we suppose-that Gel
ebrated king of France, who "marched up hill,
and then marched down again"
! A gentleman informs us that it was exhibited
to him at the Pension Office, as a subject for
mIrth. But to our mind, it is anything but that,
to the patriotically disposed and to the best
friends OF this Union. 1t is one of those straws
which we see raised to our view eyery dav. so
indicative of the sentiments which the press and
politicians at the North have impressed on the
masses there, in reference to the character and
the working of the federal government. The idea
that it is plenpotential in its powers union
OF force--is becoming more and more prevalent.
The majority is against the South And it is
fashionable for politicians to yield to the will of
the majority for the time being. A sentiment
which we heard a member of Congress, from a
Northwestern State, utter in conversation three
years ago, when questioned as to the constitu-
tionaty OF a measure he had proposed, illustra-
ted it He "did not care d-n," he said.
"whether 1t was constitutional or not, it was
enough for him to know that his constituents
wanted it,"
The increasing calls upon the government to
provide everything for everybody, is, as matter
of course, rapidly increasing, and enarging the
circle of governmental action. How long will
it be before triumphant party will find it expe
dent to multiply and extend public employ
ments much farther beyond the legitimate pow
ers of our federal organization, than it has al
ready; and, instead of merely taking the offices
from their opponents, confscate their property
to appease their tyrannical demands
In this case, South Carolina is really called
upon to contribute to reward those who would
at the point of the bayonet- extinguish her
claims to that separate and equal station among
the powers of the earth, to which she fought her
way, and draw the faint lines of province, a
colony, or country around her.
