glcri6cation that they could not think Of anybody
else, We may mention another faot. Tho health Of
Madame Kossuth was not in the list of toasts,
Though another lady was singled out as worthy of
the henor, which was marked insult to the lady Of
the guest of the evening An attempt was made to
remedy the blunder by volunteer toast at the tail
end Of the procee ngs, but it only made the matter
more glaring.
II was at this banquet, moreover, that Kossuth
was induced, by abolition influence, to omit pas
sage from his prepared and written speech, which,
nevertheless, found its way into print through q
proof from the newspaper Office of the very gentle
men who induced him to expunge it, and who was
entrusted by Kossuth's secretary with the manage
ment Of the affair which he so egregousy bungled,
either through stupidity or design. .
Finally, out Of this press dinner arose the Astor
House Revolutionary Committee, who have taken
charge Of the fund, ard, no doubt, will take as
good care of it as was taken Of the Irish fund of
10000. be the same mere or less, subscribed as
material aid' for the SGeveganmon revolution in
Ireland, in the memorable year of 1913.
The whole of this business, therefore, from be-
ginning to end, was Gn sbolitionist and socialist

suth or the advancement of his cause, but to pro-
mote the views and interests Of very contempti-

The ELEcTIoNEERIso FOR THE Next PREsr.
pENcY.-The newspapers, far and wide are begin
ming 10 speculate and put forth feelers upon the
subject Of the next Presidency. The country jour-
nails, to some small extent, are beginning to hoist
the names Of their candidates, and others are con-
tent with merely indicating their preference while
the greater portion Of the press appear to be laying
on their oars, waiting for reugher waters. Accord
ing 10 the census, there are nearly 5000 journals
published in this country, Of which about two
hundred and city to three hundred Of the due of
both parties are received in exchange at this Office
Out Of these two hundred and City or three hun
dred, probably not more than forty or City have
indicated choice for the Presidency, either By
hosting names, or BY mentioning any individuals.
The rest are silent.
The circulation OF those journals which have
already named candidates, does not amount to
much the average may reach about Eve hun
dred OF six hundred q week. The journals Of
the large commercial cities are not so ready
in entering into a political contest, although
some few Of the most hot headed and ready.
express their views on the subject. Since the be.
ginning Of Congress, the journals Of Washington
are the most interesting exponents of the views o.
ent Whefths Faites tOE lttlutncy, out tEcse
Washington journals, while they embrace certain
views, will feed paid correspondents that write let.
ters to certain newspapers in Baltimore, Phlsdel.
rhia, New York, and New Orleans. They are
more engaged in sort Of skirmishing, preparatory
to contest, than q contest itself.
The frst distinct ntimation Of seriousness was
recently exhibited 10 the Wsskington RepWbic,
which seized a paragraph from o Philadelphia
arer, representing that some curious plot had
been made among the barnburners Of New
York and tho Benton men Of the West,

therefore, which cirsulates relative to The plot
about Batter, may be true or false; but IL is pub

II democracy in favor Of such man.
We look, therefore, upon the alarm Of the
Rsputc, in relation te that matter, as one Of The
beet pieces Of evidence we have seen, proving the
trength and popularity Of Butler as their opposing
candidate. The union of the bsTnburners OF the |
North with the sscossionists CT the seuth, in the
