Kossuth.

The London Daily News, received by the
last steamer, has the following article:
The most striking feature in Kossuth's po-
litical life is the smallness of the means en-
ployed by him, and his wonderful success.
He had but his pen and tongue in the midst
of acountry of which byno means the whole
population sympathised with his ideas of
Magyar independence. Like O'Connen, he
found the oppression Of his country heavy,
and when none. entertained hope but himself,
he undertook the task, devoted himself with
the resolve never to finch from it. O'Con-I
nell, however, had fair field to maneuYre
in. Whilst the Austrians were able to gag
Kossuth's tongue in public, and prohibit the
press from spreading the productions Of his
pen, O'Connell had all the aids of publicity,
and all the advantages of association. The
Irish patriot was emboldened BY the degree
of freedom, and the rights already granted
to his country to assume the offensive, and to
conquer the rest. Kossuth contented him
self for the most part, with remaining on the
defensive, and could he have upheld the
constitutional monarchy, would have de-
cided not to advance or to transgress the
bounds of a not very liberal law and constitu-
ton
But the Austrian Cabinet, under Meter
Mich, was not content with leaving Hungary
as 1T was. It's constant effort was to sap the
independence Of Hungary, nullify its repre-
sentative system, and centralise its admins
tration SchWarzenburg himself has done
nothing more audacious than was attempted
by the old Austrian Government, when it
sought to replace the local authority Of the
4 Hungarian consitat by a project, such as the
French Emperor or the Russian Gar might
appoint.
Against this Kossuth struggled with Tie

Beautiful Extract.


We possess a genuine fragment which
Cicero has preserved to US from lost work
of Aristotle. 1t runs thus: t'If there were
beings who lived in the Depths of the earth,
in dwellings adorned with statues md paint
ings, and everything hhich Is possessed IN
rich abundance by those whom We esteem
fortunate, and if these beings could receive
tidings Of the power and migh of the Gods,
and could then emerge from their hidden
dwellings through the open assures of the
earth, to the places which ne inhabit; if they
could suddenly behold the earth, and the
sea, and the vault of heaven, could recognize
the expanse of the cloudy armament and the
might Of the winds of heaven, aud admire
the sun in its majesty, beauty, and radiant
efalgence; and lastly, when night yelled
the earth in darkness, they could behold the
starry heavens, the changing moon, and the
stars rising and setting in the unyarying
course ordained from eternity they would
surely exclaim, there are Gods, and such
great things must be the work of their
hands,
1t has been justly observed, that this pas
sage is. alone sufficient to eoroborate Cicero,s
opinion Of Che golden flow Of Aristotle's
ieloquence," and that his works are peryaded
by Something of the inspired force Of Plato's
genius. Such testimony to the existance
of the heavenly powers, drawn from the
beauty and stupendous greatness of the works
i ofcreation, is rare to be met with IN the works
of antiquity. Humboldt's Cosmos.

toying the quiet repose OF his loved Ashland that
he will be speedily restored to his accustomed vigorous
and robust health.
His fellow citizens rejeioed that hes again among

respect aud admiration greeted him on his return, his

THE VOTING.

The first shock of voting, in the Convention, is
over, and already W, may begin to pick up the
wounded, not the killed. The grand result is that
the Suffrage Basis has been voted downby MAORI
ty of nine, and the Mixed Basis has been voted
down by majority of one Five votes consti-
tute the difference between these opposing de-
cisons, and they were given by the following gen.
tlemen, viz Mr. Bolts, who declares that he was
elected with an avowa of his desire for Com
promise; Mr.. Bowden, of Williamsburg, who is
understood to be impracticable because he stands
out for the Federal Basis; Mr.. Chiffon, of Fau-
quier, who has unfortunately been shaken in the
faith after making Mixed Basis speech; Mr..
Randolph, of Albemarle, who, with his grand
fathers authority on one side and that of his con
stituents on the other, is certainly determined to
pay very little respect to the latter; and Dr. Saun
ders, of Lynchburg, who, in virtue of some old
white basis opinions, has struck out scheme of
his own.
By the two votes in committee ofthe whole to
which we have referred, proposition B, as modified
by Mr.. Summers SO as to provide, in general
terms, for the establishment of the Suffrage Basis,
was first stricken out, and then the committee
refused to insert in its place the modified substi-
tute of Mr.. Scott OF Fauq uier, providing in like
general terms for the establishment OF the Mixed
Basis. Then nothing Remained before the
Committee but Proposition A, or the report
OF the Eastern portion of the basis commit
tee, Which makes an apportionment giving
TIE East majority of fourteen in House of $50
members, and establishes the general principle
ofthe Mixed Basis for future appointments. At
this stage, Mr.. Bolts offered his Compromise pro-
position as an amendment TO A. and then DR..
Saunders moved to amend that by substituting
plan, according to which House of 1876 members
would be organized on the Suffrage Basis, and a
Senate of thirty-two members on the Federal b.
sis.
What the end is to be, it is impossible now to
foresee. Two of the five Eastern delegates who
separated themselves from their colleagues, ha We
frankly shown what they intend by their course

South CAROLINA MILITARY PREPARATIoNs.-The
South Caronian chivalry, it is known, have recently
appropriated 100000 for bloody weapons, and some
Massachusetts Yankees have got the job to make them
or part Of them, at least:
A friend informs the editor Of the Woonsocket Pa
triot that "Messrs. Waters, Of Milbury, Mass have
obtained the contract for the small arms, viz 5000
muskels 5000 rifles and 1000 pistols. The field arl-
lery to be made in S. Carolina, and the authorities
very anxious that Messrs. Waters should manu-
facture the sma there aso but this could not be-
anu &c. Inc arms eompieea withn me time Allotted oy
traced to establish the arnory in South Carolina, after
the completion OF this order.'
So the valiant souls who are going to dissolve the
Union, whip Uncle Sam and "the rest of mankind"
can't even manufacture their guns, but have ira
vel all the way to old Massachusetts.
