Ifonors to Kossuth at Staten Island.

His speech here-Ihe Non-interrention Poliev-Hs
hope for Hungary-Another war of Independence
NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-Kossuth has been occupied
during the entire night in delivering speeches and
receiving the visits of the people about this city An
address to the noble chief was delivered by Major
Hagadon, in which the speaker took strong ground
in favor of non-intervention.
Kossuth replied as follows ITO you sir, have
but simply to return my thanks, and through you
those who were pleased to send you on so pleasant
mission. have simply to return thanks because you
have anticipated all those feelings which it would
have been my task to endeavor have the people of
the United States entertain.
IF the sentiments you express those of your
people, have nothing to ask-then will have al
most to thank you for the realization of those senti
ments. The reception | have already experienced
relieves me of much anxiety If the doctrine of
non-lnterventon is understood, you state it, then
the generous and efficient aid of the United States
for my countrys suffering independence is secured
We will have fair play in the struggle which we
nave yet to light, and that is all the people of
Hungary want: know your history To be sure
there is much likeness to past struggle and your
glorious effort for independence but there is also
great difference. That difference is that in the
stirring period of your revolution you met friends
but hungary did not-you met with fleets auxiliary
troops. arms, money and peace negotiations in your
ald we seem torsaken and alone. We were aban-
doned by the whole world. But what to our past
was wanting, we may yet see bestowed upon our fu-
ture There will soon be occasion and opportunity for
it, because feel confident that one lost battle. or
one lost campaign does not overthrow a people, but
often stimulates them to greater action and am
strong in the hope that Hungary will yet be free
Will cling to my motto. (Which received from a
aborer OF Marseilles) There is no difficulty to him
VINO wills In respect to your rendered guard of
honor will not request it, nor will decline it, [
feel honored o. every mark of attention by every
token OF kindness from the American people
!" In conclusion, then, permit me to say accept my
pest wishes for your country's glory and personal
happiness"

Drradful Calamity.

The notorious free negro Fred. Douglass, has come
out against Kossuth, therefore must Kossuth hide
his diminished head because {; there is wool upon
the place where Fred. thinks, /" the wool ought to
grow" The abolitionists are quite put out with
Kossuth because he wont turn bobolition- he is
man of too much sense.

From the Salisbury Waterman
North Carolina Conference.

SALISBURY, Dec I'd, 1851
The n C. Conference closed its Session in this
place at nine o'clock. 1t longer session than
usual consequence of the amount of business to be
transacted. Although many things of exciting
nature were presented for consideration still the ut
most harmony and fraternal feeling prevailed with
the body. We have seldom seen more orderly, or
more imposing Ecclesiastical body, or have known
one to sit in this place, which left more favorable
impression on the public mind. The few last part
ing moments they were together were of touching
interest.

BlrThe occurrences of the long session of the
last Congress, of too recent date, and the posi-
ton of parties pending the passage OF the COM
promise through both Houses, too well known
to require more than passing ausion. It is known
that the democratic party of the South did not sup
port the Compromise measures to any great extent.
In fact these laws and never will be popu
lar in this section-they not regarded as just
to the slavehodng states and received the votes Of
comparatively few southern democrats in Congress.
But they passed, and the democrats in and out
of Congress acquesced in them for the sake of peace
and Union. They accept them as a ne plus ultra of
concession, but they do not endorse them, because
such endorsement would be act of inconsis
tency, and might look like an invitation to flu
ture aggrcssions. What is passed is passed. and
must not be repeated The Fugitive Slave Bill was
not passenger in the " omnibus it was indie
pendent democratic measure, introduced by south
ern democratic Senator and passed by the votes of
men of both parties from the south, assisted by
northern democrats, not northern wing in the
Senate having voted for it, and but three in the
House.
Previous to the meeting of Congress about week
since, the democrats held a for the purpose
of arranging the preliminary business, such NOM
mating candidates for officers of the House, etc., at
which caucus not more than half of the members of
the party were present. many not having arrived
At this caucus Mr.. Polk, of Tennessee, introduced
resolution endorsing the Compromise, which reso-
luton laid on the table for good and sufficient
reasons The southern members who had, in the
last Congress, opposed these measures, although
willing to accept and insist their fnality, not
prepared to go farther and give them a formal ap-
proval, neither did they think that the subject was
fairly before them This caucus was held on Satur-
day evening.
On Monday morning following Wing caucus
was held at which some forty present, and the
proceedings of that immense body present spec-
men of ground and lofty tumbling, to which the
history of politics affords few parallels Looking at
their forlorn condition and the extreme smallness of
their numbers, they thought that it was necessary
to do something, they, that is about twothirds of
them, rushed unanimously upon the platform of
the Compromise. 1t is probable that of the two
thirds who voted for the resolutions all but five or
six were from the South and of the five six north
ern wings who voted on the resolutions not one had
voted for the Fugitive Bill when his vote night have
been necessary for its salvation.
| The only measure of the last Congress which has
been looked upon at the south savoring Of justice
is that for the reclamation of Fugitive Slaves This
measure the democrats passed, and it needed not
that they should rush upon it to make capital by
sham resolutions their and its opponents have done.

The Reception of I1Ossuth.

The Governor of Hungary was received in New
York Saturday last with an enthusiasm which per-
haps has been equalled upon any former &C.
casion in this country. AS he came up from Staten
Island in the steamer Vanderbilt, every spot the
shores of the bay from which view could be obtain
ed, was crowded with spectators, The boat was sa-
uted by the United States vessels in the harbor by
guns on shore, by everybody and everything. The
ceremony of reception and introduction was gone
through with at Castle Garden. but the excitement
was so wild and tumultuous that Kossuth found il
impossible to obtain a hearing. His remarks are tc
be written out for the press. The procession was
one of the most imposing in the city. II
seemed if the whole population was in the streets
There is certainly charm about the man which
cannot be resisted, and even his bitterest enemies
have to yield to it. The Courier and Enquirer which
reviIed him SO savagely, has backed out and become
sycophantc.

ErTn our issue of the 28th ult., we alluded to the
fact that Ge had so far been unable to lay eyes or
hands upon either Wheeler's History Wileys
North Carolina Reader, although the History had a
good many subscribers here, and our own names ap-
peared as agents. If our remarks conveyed the i'm
preston that there were subscribers here to the Read
er they certainly failed to express meaning; yet
they must have done to extent, since we be-
lieve Mr.. Wiley understood them in that sense
There are not now and never have been any subscri
bers to Mr.. WIS work. the author having published
it at his risk, relying upon the generosity and
patriotism of North Carolinans for reimbursement OF
the outlay and compensation for the labor bestowed
upon its production. We sincerely hope that he may
not be disappointed.
We care very little to complain Of neglect il
these matters. If publishers of works expect edi
tors to notice them, it is to be supposed that the.
will have an opportunity, at least, to see the work
to be noticed. Now, in regard to Wheeler's Sketch
es, we knor that they have been offered for sale b.
booksellers out of the State for time past, Will
subscribers here have not been able to obtain copy
nor has been sent to the press. Editors are fire
quentIy blamed as we have been by our respecte
correspondent +" Long Creek for not noticing Mort
Carolina publications. The truth is that North Ca
rolina authors never think it worth their while
afford the editors chance perhaps thinking it to
small business. We cannot notice what we hay
never seen. If authors show by their conduct thf
they do not want any notice, that is their own ma
ter and not ours; all we want is that the thin
should be properly understood. We can, or at lea
we do, work good deal for nothing but have T
disposition also find the materials for other people
