To the people Of The United States
New York, Dec. IL. 1851.

Having come to the United States to avail
myself for the cause Of my country, Of the
sympathy which | had reason to believe
existed In the heart Of the nation found it
my duty to declare, in the first moments Of
my arrival, that il is my mission to plead
the independence OF Hungary aud the liher-
ty OF The European continent before the
great republic oi the United States. My
principle i'll this resrest is, that every nation
has the sovereign right to dispose OF its own
domestic affairs, without foreign interfere
renee; tha |, therefore, shd! not medde
with any domestic Concerns of the United
States, and that expect it from all the
friends Of my cause not To do any thing In
respect to myself. that could throw difficult
ties in my way, aud: while expressing sym
pathy for the cause, would injure it.
1t is with regret thai must eel the ne
cessity Of again making that appeal to the
public opinion OF this country. and par'ic-
uIarly TO those who profess themselves TO be
friends OF my cause, TO give one proof Of
their sympathy by avoiding every step which
might entaugle me into difficulties in res
peet to that rule which I have adopted, and
which again declare to be my leading
principle, viz not 10 mix. and not to be mix
ed up in any manner with domestic con-
Germs or party questions.

AN INTERESTING CoNTRovERsY.-Ourl
neighbor Of the Whig has been carrying
on an interesting controversy fer some
weeks past with ole Of his contributors who
writes over tie signature cf"A Democlat,"
and who is eudeavoring to prove that oil
the old questions between the two political
parties are finally settled, and that there
is no longer any ground for old party dif-
ferences, aid nothing in the way to prevent
an union Of the parties. This position our
neig ghbor controver,s, and weekly devotes a.
bout column Of his paper to dispreve.-
We have taken no part in tie controversy,
nor do we propose TO; but only design Civ
ing an opinion as 10 its merits. We think
our neighbor las the advantage Of bis cor
respondent in point Of position, il not in ar
gument. Ii strikes Us that no one who is
at all posted in reference to the position and
policy Of the Wing and Democratic parties,
can TAIL to see the deep gulf which sep
arates them, ana which is growing deeper
and wider every year. Whiggery is the
same party Of narrow conservatism, specia
priviegesm that it ever was. 1t hangs on
to old forms and old notions with a perfect
death grasp; and there is scarcely meas.
ure Of governmental policy ever adopted or
advocated by its leaders, whicb they would
not now infict upon the country even at
| this day had they the power. They would
institute the same tariff system which the
people have condemned, BY which they
would compel the poorer and more necessi-
tous portion Of our tizens to furnish the
revenues of government, and exemptng the
wealthy, under the specious plea of "pro-
tection," (such protection" as the vulture
gives to the dove,) by system of specific
duties, taxing the luxuries Of life, used by
upper tendom," from 5 TO 80 per cent,
and the necessaries of life, used by the
mass Of the people. from 45 to l6s per cent.
They would drain the treasury and bank
rupt the nation by their splendid system Of
Internal Improvements. True, we no long
er hear their panic groans over the defunct
National Bank, nor is the echo of their de.
nunciations # the Independent Treasury
borne upon the breeze. But who can doubt
that, but tor ;heir fear Of the People, they
woult rslustate the former and repeal the
latter? lis the boast OF whig leaders that
their party stands where it ever has stood
And wlio will question their will to carry
out their same old doctrines Of favoritisn?
Whiggery may go into the political contest
with no avowal of principles, avowing one
thing in one section and another in another,
wearing face for each locality and
yet no one should be deceived by it, for ii
is that "sanle Old Coon'' still

brought him to our shores, the fear of Offend

frighten the people out of. their senses
{tbey must be SO frightened before they will
consent to give whiggery the rule in Ohio
again. by their frightful stories about the
Sub-Treasury scheme Of Mr.. MORGAN, the
Auditor Of State elect They have given
it every manner Of inter probation except the
true one, and that they have been very care
iul to avoid because but lily suited to further
their work Of deception. They have charg
ed it as his design to have all the taxes col
iected in gold and silver, and have depict
ed the direst horrors TO result to the people
from such measure. But no such meas
ure is recommended. It's simply proposed
that the Legislature shall provide a safe de-
pository Of the public moneys, where they
shall remain until drawn out to lay the de-
mands against the State, instead Of being
deposited in Banks for them to speculate
upon, or loaned out TO irresponsible conpa-
nies, to be los, in their failure. The loss Of
an hundred thousand dollars to the State
through the failure Of tie Columbus 1nsur-
ance Company, ought 10 be sufficient TO set

it not enough that the Legislature has Gre
aled these corporations aud surroundcd I'd

IN alluding to this subjsct, says:

c. for the people which efectuaiIy banishes
gold and silver from circulation there
would be no justice in demanding the pay
ment Of taxes in specie - When law shall
have been passed and vigorously enfwced
expelling foreign paper trash from OUT
borders, and requiring the issues of the
State bank to be redeemed at whatever
branch they may be p.eseuted,- when
these and other laws of kindred character
shall have been fixed on the statute
book, then there may be neither injustice
nor impolicy in collecting taxes in gold and
silver. In the mea "time, it may be wor-
thy Of consideration whether law might
not at once be passed, requiring three.
fourlhs of all disbursements from the county
treasures, TO he made in coin"

SALT IN COAL RESfOss.

1t has long been the opinion of the most
intelligent mining engineers. who have exam
ined the coal region of Allegbany County, Md.
that salt might be obtained by boring. The

ties Of salt are obtained from she New Cas-

Virginia TO strengthen the idea that salt
viii ultimately be found in the Cumberland
resion--perhaps somewhere about the mouth
OF Savage riyer-we will state that during
the last war with Great Britain, there were
extensive boripgs for salt at Paddytown, on
the Virginia side Of the Potomac, aud that
after reaching depth f6e0 feet, the sup
ply OF salt water was abundant, from which
large quantities of this article was manutac-
tured Why the boriags we're abandoned we
