THE CONGRESS INVITATION TO KossUrH.

We learn from the New York papers that Mr..
HUNTER, Acting Chief Clerk of the State De-
partment, accompanied by Mr.. EDWARD CURTIS and
Mr.. SIMEON DRAPER, waited upon NJ KossUTH by
appointment on Thursday last and presented to him
certified copy of the resolution of welcome passed
by Congress. Mr.. Hunter also handed to him a
private letter from Mr.. WEBSTER, which, it is sup
posed, related to his visit to Washington
NJ Kossuth it is further stated after reading these
papers, said he felt highly honored to receive this
mark of attention from the Congress Of the United
States; it was the honor of his life and that he
would preserve and remember it as the most signal
of all distinctions that could be conferred upon an
individual His first duty now was to hasten to
Washington to take the earliest opportunity to ex-
press his gratitude to the Government and Congress
He had already made engagements to the cities
of Philadelphia and Baltimore, which would detain
him during the present week; in the mean time he
would convey to Mr.. WEBSTER, by letter, his thanks
for the kind offer to introduce him to the PREsI-
DENT; and he hoped by this day week, or within
day or two thereafter to be present in the city of
Washington. But Of the particular time of his
arrival he would advise the distinguished Secretary
of State in writing.

FREEDOM OF THE PRESS.

One Of the most extraordinary illustrations of the
freedom of the press which we have ever was exh
bited at the late Kossuth dinner when, in response
to toast to the free press, Col Webb, the repre-
sentative of free press, not allowed to utter
syllable because his opinions differed from those Of
the majority This is freedom Of the press with a
vengeance. There is good deal of cant and hum
bug in the use of that word freedom in these times
