The Observation-Disclosures.

From the Sandwich Islands, the only news Of
Importance is the following resolution, which has
been passed by the parliament, and signed by the
king:
BE il resolvedb by the mobiles and representatives
of the Hawaiian Islands, in legislative council
assembled, That in the sense Of this house, the
demands of France are so clearly unjust and
contrary TO the laws Of nations and to treaty
and the course pursued by her is so incompatible
with the existence of q regular independent gov.
ernment in these islands; if France should per
sistin such course it will be the duty of the king
to shield himself and his government from insult
and oppression, by placing this kingdom under
the protection of some friendly state; and that,
should such emergency be so urgent as not to ad-
init of the legislative council being convened, 1t
shall be left to his Majesty, by and with the ad-
vice of his privy council, under such emergency
to consult the honor and safety of his kingdom,
according to his Majesty's best judgment; and
that whatever he may SO do will be binding upon
the nation.
The "Polynesiau" says that the Commissioner of
the United States called officially at the Foreign
office, on the 14th October, making known>t the
views Of his government in regard to the past,
present, and future position of these islands. The
communication was of n nature tending to fortify
the king in the permanent enjoyment of his
sovereign rights.-N. .. PicdyuRe, NoD. IA.

socrates.

The Rev. Thomas Star King, in recent lee
ture at Providence, said of Socrates:
In outward appearance he was an embodied
joke. His head was round pumpkin, his
eyes protruded as though he were half suffocated
There is no irreverence in speaking thus, for he
himself made jest Of his own appearance
"Your eyes" said he, "see only in one direction: !:
/ can see not only forward, but sideways; my
eyes are fixed as on ridge in my head" His
nose was fat and snub, being as he said "more
useful than handsome, since it enables me to re
ceive smells from all quarters, even from above"
thus fulfilling perfectly all the functions of q
nose His mouth was wide, and his lips were
thick; he had remarkable way of holding his
head still, as soon as he had caught friend with
an argument, and turning his large eyes on the
company to see the effect of his words, thus pro-
ducing mesmeric effect. His neck was short
and thick, and by his corpulence he must have
seemed n pattern alderman; yet he was abste-
mious in eating, but he still kept fat; he even
practised dancing at home in private, with a view
to rid his frame of its feshy burden, but the flesh
had marvellous attachment to his bones
We have information that he had one pair of
dress shoes that lasted him for life-an economy
which will not seem so surprising to you when
you consider it is probable that he never wore
them. Winter and summer his custom was to go
barefoot; moreover he had slouching gait and
q very seedy dress. In spite of his corpulence,
Socrates was perfect Athelite: he had thews of
brass. Give him an opportunity to talk on great
themes, and he would sit out the night, and when
the sun arose he would commence his rounds in
the streets as fresh as child.

Reception of Kossuth In washington.

Ne
1o-he Editor Of The Amsricaa Telegraph:
The patriotic, conservative, and reasonable
course pursued by your journal, in reference to
Kossuth, must command for it the respect Of
ever thinking citizen and true lover of his coun-
try and his country's dignity. You have sus-
tanned Kossuth against the attacks Of his enc
mics, and have measured out that justice which
is due to him as man, if not republican--to
say the least, in favor Of principles more liberal
than those existing at the time in his own coun-
try. But at the same time that you "render
unto Caesar the things that are Cesar's," you do
not forget the true interest and importance Of the
American nation The alteration paid by many
Of our best citizens to the illustrious Hungarian
must certainly be source Of modification to
them when their sober senses return The ad-
moniuons of our beloved Washington, Jefferson,
Madison and other patriots, are esteemed no
thing, when weighed in the balance with the word
OF Kossuth. Language has not been sufficiently
forcible to express their adulations; and Li,
coming was blasphemousy and nefariously liken-
ed to the second coming of Christ, and that by
Christian minister to a Christian audience. q
temporal O n,ores! I" L. this not calculated to
bring the blush to the cheek Of every calm re-
publican, and make him fear for our country the
realization of the opinion Of Napoleon, than whom
no man ever saw further into the destinies of ma
tons? In his proclamation to the Genoese he
says: When a State becomes accustomed to
|Icondemn without hearing, to applaud discourse
because it is impassioned: when exaggeration
and madness are called virtue, moderation and
equity designated as crimes that State is near
its ruin" s
| In conclusion, would say to the citizens of
Washington, receive Kossuth with the respect
due to him as the guest of Congress, and with
that Roman dignity, calmness, and self-respect
which should characterize you as the inhabitants
Of city founded by Washington, and the me-
tropolis of the greatest republic on EARTH

A Ne'cspaper published daily and Ueehlg at Wash
iagton City.
AT no period since the formation of our Govern
ment has the service Of an enlightened, impartial,
and independent press at the seat of Government
been more required than now. The near APP
proach Of the Presidential election, the influence
which it must have on our future destiny, the
combinations formed to govern the public choice
and the issues which the political organizations
will present, should be fully discussed and un-
derstood In this discussion the sectional interest
Of the South should be fairly and ably repre-
sented.
Designing men have labored successfully to
create the belief that oil who do not approve the
measures called Compromise are disunionists;
and we think it is greatly to be regretted that the
tone, temper, and substance Of the discussions in
the press and in Congress give countenance to
that belief. Now, we do not concur with Mr..
Foote or Mr.. Rhett on the contrary, whilst we
know that there is o large and influential and in
creasing party in the North who desire to abolish
slavery in the South, we believe that the neces-
sary consequence of the conflict for power be-
tween the organized parties in the North will be
to create public sentiment in that section more
favorable to the South, if the South will but be
true to themselves, and unite in support of those
who deserve their confidence and support.
The /" Telegraph" will labor to unite and con-
solidate the South, as the only means of produ-
cling harmony and concert between the North and
the South. We have our preferences, but as yet
we have no choice among the Presidential candi-
dates. We will support the nominee Of the Bal
timore Convention, if we believe him worthy Of
our support We are identified with and will
support the State Rights party Of the South and
this is the position that viii urge that party to
assume a4 ~
The Telegraph" is now published daily at five
dollars per annum, and we propose to issue
weekly at tDo dollars per annum, as soon as sub
scribers sufficient to justify its publication are
obtained We venture to ask the State Rights
Associations, and the Republican party through
out the country, to aid US in obtaining subscribers,
as it is our purpose to make the paper worthy of
their support

A OH RIS IT. las STORY.
BY MISS ALICE CAREY.


'Tis Christmas eve. and by the hearthlight dim,
His blue eyes hidden by his falling hair,
Ny little brother-mirth is not for him
Whispers, how poor we are. s.
Come, dear one, rest upon my knee your head,
And push away the curls of golden glow,
And will tell Christmas tale i read,
long, long time ago.
'Tis of little orphan boy like you,
Who had on earth no friend his feet to guide
Into the path of virtue, straight and true,
And SO he turned aside.
The parlor hearths, with genial warmth aglow,
Threw over him their waves of mocking light,
Once, as he idly wandered to and fro,
In tho unfricndly night.
The while, thousand little girls and boys,
With look of pride or half-averted eye,
Their hands and arms o'erfull of Christmas toys,
Passed and repassed him by.
Chilled into dumb forgetfulness Of wrong,
And goaded by the over-joyous time,
And jostledroughly by the hurrying throng
Trembling, he talked with crime.
And when the Tempter once had found tho way,
And thoughts still threshold forbidden crossed
His steps went darkly downward day by day,
Till he at last was lost,
Once as he woke from a dclirious dream,
When consciousness began his soul to stir
AROUND MIN Ie1 inc morning cnecheTeu Deum-
He prisoner!
Then walled he in the frenzy Of wild pain,
Then wept no till his eyes with tears were dim;
But who would kindly answer back again
A prisoner boy like him?
And so his cheek grew thin, and paled away
But not loving hand was stretched TO save;
And the snow covered, the next Christmas day,
His lonesome little grave.
Nay little brother, do not weep. pray;
You have no sins like his to be forgiven,
And kneeng down together, we can say,
Father, who art in heaven"
So shall the blessed presence of content
Brighten our home of toll and poverty
And the dear consciousness of time well spent
Our Christmas portion be.

/ HAVE NO TIME TO STUDY.-The idea about
the want Of time is mere phantom. Franklin
found time in the midst of his labors to dive into
the hidden recesses of philosophy and to explore
the untrodden path of science. The great Fred
erick, with an empire at his direction, in the
midst of war, on the eve of battles which were TO
decide the fate of his kingdom, found time to reve
in the charms of philosophy and intellectual plea
sures. Bonaparte, with all Europe at his dispo.
sal; with kings in his ante-chamber begging for
vacant thrones with thousands of men whose
destinies were suspended on the brittle thread Of
his arbitrary pleasures, had time to converse with
books. Caesar, when he had curbed the spirits
of the Roman people, and was thronged with
visitors from the remotest Kingdoms, found time
for intellectual conversation. Every man has
time, if he is careful to improve it, and if he does
improve it as well as he might, he can reap
threefold reward. Let mechanics then make use
Of the hours at their disposal, if they want to OBJ
tain proper influence in society. They can, if
they please, hold in their hands the destinies of
our republic; they are numerous, respectable
and powerful; and they have only to be educated
half as well as other professions, to make laws
for the nation
