From the Louispille Journei.

The editor of the Democrat although he admits
that the Presidents message ID "ably written,
and that ii "gves clear exposition OF what 1T
treats OFF, speaks of it with his characteristic flip
pancy
He says that, in noticing the Cuba expedition
the message is cold blooded ii he wants hot
blooded messages, let him apply to the Governor
of South Carolina. He complains that the execu
ton of the prisoners at Havana is not violently
condemned by the President. When jackson was
President, the Mexican army in Texas took Col.
Fannng's regiment of United States citizens pri-
soners, II being one of the express terms Of the
surrender that they should be treated kindly; but,
on the very next day, they were all shot Presi-
dent Jackson, however, did not feel himself called
on TO denounce this bloody atrocity in message
to Congress, nor did he recommend the infection
of any punishment upon Mexico, or suggest any
demand upon her for redress or for an apology
When Van Buren, was President considerable
number of citizens of the United States, partici-
patng in the Canada rebellion fell into the hands
of the British authorities, and fifteen or twenty of
them were hung, President van Buren, however
| never suggested in message to Congress, or In
any other document, that the hanging was an out
rage, did he breathe one word about redress or
| apologies The whole Democracy of the nation
| were we'll convinced that their two Presidents on
these two occasions, neglected nothing that was
necessary to the maintenance oil national rights
and national honor; yet row they make very
loud outcry because Mr.. Fillmore does not do, in
the case Of the Cuba executions, what the Demo
cratic Chief Magistrates neglected to do in far
stronger cRscs.
The editor & the Democrat says, speaking OF the
Presidents message.
''ile gives no assurance that any action, other
than negotiation will be taken upon the case OF the
one hundred and sixty condemned TO the mines.
We expected nothing better, and are, therefore,
not disappointed"
We'll, during the Canada troubles, while Mr..
Van Buren, was President those United States pris,
oncrs who were not hung. were condemned to
ha rd labor at Van Dicman's Land, and we should
like to know whether President Van Buren, gave,
or WINS called on by his party or by any portion
of il TO give, an assurance that any action, other
than negotiation, !" would be taken upon the case
And we should like to know whether "any action,
other than negotiations" taken in the case.
Now. does il not show an utter want of fairness
and candor and political honesty on the part OF the
Democratic organs TO sneer at and dcnouncc Pres
ident Fillmore for not doing in given case what
President jackson and President Van Buren, did
feel that they had right to do in far stronger
cases, and what partisan of theirs ever said or
animated that they ought TO do'

M. Kossuth and phiIadsInb,a.

The committee Of the Philadelphia City Coun-
ellis waited on NJ Kossuth on Saturday evening, at
New York, TO invite him to this city. The chair
man, Mr. Y Farquhar extended the Invitation
in brief but neat address, to which NJ. Kossuth
replied, substantially that he extremely
joiced at this denomination the part Of Phia
telphia, and that lie felt the highest qualification
in being thus honored by the glorious corporation
Of that renowned city. Before he left Europe, one
of the pleasures he had promised himself was to
meet and mingle with the citizens Of that great
city where the Declaration of Independence had
been proclaimed; and he felt now particularly anK-
ous to visit the hallowed spot where that immortal
charter had been adopted. But, he went on 10 say
that, at the present moment, 1t was quite innpossi.
BILE for him to declare at what time he could go
there. and that, indeed 1t was not certain that he
could go there at all. His object in visiting this
country was not a personal one-hc did not come
to promote any selfish purpose, and he could not,
therefore, do any thing that calculated merely
to crafty himself His object to promote the
great cause of liberty throughout the world, and
especially in Hungary; and while he was sure the
people of the United States sympathzed in that OBJ
ject, he could not but say that be deeply dis
tressed at the action which had been taken by Con
gress. He had the highest respect and regard for
Congress-he recognised 1t as the exponent of the
national will, and in view Of what il had DONE his
own movements were necessarily embarrassed.
Whether he would be content to go. beyond New
York he could not now say; but he was free TO de.
clare that had the proceedings Congress 70 which
he had adverted reached him before he left Europe,
he would have hesitated about coming to this
try at ALL And as il was, with the utmost graft
tude TO all who bestowed on him such marks OF
kindness as the city of Philadelphia had offered,
and especially with sentiments of sincere regard
for Philadelphia and its citizens, he must defer for
day or two any positive reply to the request
which had been made to him.

BALTIMORE, December 90 D. m.
There can no longer be any doubt that Kossuth
has wholly. mistaken the policy, position, and
views of the Government and people OF the United
States with regard to the domestic affairs of Eu
rope and especially with regard to the meaning of
the act Of Congress rendering the of the steam
frigate Mississippi to bring himself and COM
panions to the United States If Congress contem-
plated any thing further than the act ITSELF it was
to offer them home here, but certainly not TO join
them in Quixotic crusade against European des-
potism.
Kossuth, in his reply to the Philadelphia com
mttee, aludes with some severity to the character
of the recent debate in the Senate the resolution
toinvitc him to the Capitol, and says that, if he
could have foreseen anticipated such course
upon the part of Congress, he never should have
left Europe, and il is, he doubts whether he will
leave New York, except to retrace his steps to Eu-
rope. This is giving all rather the cold shout
der; but it is expected that he has since somewhat
modified his views, as il ia announced in Phla-
delphia that he is to visit that city on the 18th
instant
The amount received for duties at the Baltimore
custom house. during the past month was $50 ,042,
against $52 500, for the corresponding month of

''1ae Book Of Home Beauty" is one of those ee-
giant and tasteful offerings to the public for which
PUTNAM is becoming famous. IL contains twelve
portraits of American ladies, from drawings by
that graceful and accomplished artist, CHARLES
MARrIS, esq, Of the eminent illustrator OF
Milton. These are engraved on steel, In the first
style Of the art. When we say that the desultory
literary text Of the volume is from the well known

very clear and handsome. -Au rsste, the book had
achieved "sensation" long before it came out; SO
that its "market is made" already Those who ad

Of course; some will buy to praise; other will
