kOssuth and the French,

On the 3lst of October deputation of
French Democrats waited upon Kossuth with an
address, thanking him especially for his letter to
the people of Marseilles, and expressing sympa-
thy with his sentiments and aims. To. this adj
dress Kossuth made the following reply:
{" am happy to be the object of the sentiments
expressed in the address of the French demo-
Gratis. My sympathies fer France are equal to
the admiration with which that great and brave
people, the first champions of liberty, inspires
me. | doubt not that the French people, not
withstanding the resistance of its government
and the opinions which divide it, will still take
the greatest and most generous part in the
events which the future is preparing for Europe.

France to come to England, but Louis Napoeon
has contrived that the French Rel ublic, which
has prescribed its founders, should no longer bel
an asylum, nor even a place of passage for|
republicans Of other countries. My address to|
the city of Marseilles has made known that in|
my heart should not make France responsible|
for the inhospitality of Louis Bonaparte. II
have also affirmed in that address that wish|
for my country the government of republic.

henceforth in Europe but the republic based

to occupy myself with that which is of a nature

W- We have given to-day list of the mem.
bers of the new Congress, which we have
striven to make as correct as possible. Fol-
convenience sake, the old division of Wing and
Democrat is retained in conformity with the
previous political affinites of the members, but
those ties are loosely held now, that it is diff
fcult if not wrong, so to designate many in
both Houses, The States Rights men, the
Constitutional Union men, the Freesoiers, the
Abolitionists, can scarcely be classed as CON-
ponent parts of the two old parties. Nor can
very harmonious feeling, or identity of interest,
move the adverse wings of SEWARD and Ad-
ministration Whigs-old Hunker and young
Democracy-respectively. " r.. J..
Desperate attempts will be made to blend
these discordant elements into various combna
tions-and the first week of the session will
make some curious revelations, and give some
inklings into future movements, as yet shrouded
in darkness and doubt. ..:" ...": H..
There can be no doubt that this will be YER,
busy session, even though little public business
be accomplished during its continuance.

assault on Senator SOULS by the Louisville Jour

The attempt of the editor of the Journal to
ridicuie Senator Soule yesterday, was in the
most wretched taste. Soule is lawyer who
stands confessedy at the head of the bar in his
adopted State, and man of distinguished abil-
ity in the opinion of all who know him. His
speeches in the Senate cur neighbor never read,
or he would not have made such BOBBY of
himself, in trying to ridicule them. Soule has
few equals in the Senate of the United States
We are ashamed of this exhibition the editor of
the Journal has made of himself. We thought
he had learned more sense than to go off into
such badinage, without knowing what he was
writing about. We differ with Senator Soule
in some of his views but as a man of talents
and honorable bearing, few men in the South
stand higher.
