elopement case which occurred in that
city last week. The parties arc one

mills OF the Stark Corporation, and a

rs" !'he lecture before the Mechan-
ics' Society. Thursday evening, was de-
lvered by Samuel q. Arnold, Esq, OF
Providence. His subject was "Roger
Williams.' lie held the ground That
Roger Williams was the incarnation OF
he great Rhode Island idea OF Soul
iberty,-and that the only true freedom
of conscience and liberty to worship
God, was promulgated and fully carried
out III Rhode Island. There can be no
question about this, we think; for what
ever vague idea Martin Luther might
have had floating in his mind, on this
subject, when lie commenced the Reior-
nation, the same became lost as soon as
he obtained power, and the grievances
under his administration and lead were
as fearful az those which he charged
against the Church Of Rome. And our
Puritan Fathers were us mons,rous ana
evil in their treatment TO those who dli-
iered from them IN the Colony Of Massa-
chusetts, as il was ever pretended The
Church Of Rome was. Hence Roger
Williams was compelled to seek an ex-
lies home in the wilderness OF Rhode
Island, and here he carried out his ideas
of freedom, and full severance Of all
ties between Church and State.
Mr. Arnold gave clear delneation
Of the character ofRoger Williams, and
Illustrated throughout, the true Rhode
Island feeling. He spoke strongly Of
the neglect OH the part Of the people Of
the State TO erect monument TO Will
lams and, in eloquent terms, urged
this duty upon our citizens. 1t was well
written, and plainly but distinctly dcliy-
cred. The audience was the largest
which We have yet seen at any Of the
lectures, and all appeared 10 be highly
pleased.

waited upon him at the Irving House,
and said that his father, the President,
would be pleased TO e AMI welcome
him at the seat of government and that
he desired to know when it was his IL
ieDton to be in WaehngioD
Kossuth replied that his movements
were somewhat uncertain. and that 1t
was somewhat doubtful whether he
should 90 to Washington at all. The
action of the Senate was far from being
agreeable, and circumstances would
govern his future actions in regard to
his visiting Washington and other
places.
The above is the latest in regard TO
Kossuth. We think it time, now, for
the American people to cease making
fools of themselves in regard to Kos
suth. The President kindly rendered
him an invitation to visit Washington;
and he crustily informs the Presidents
official messenger that he is not certain
about visiting the capitol, because lie
does not like the conduct Of tie Senate. I.
In other words, he tells the American
Government that he is mad because we

~ Gov. Lawrence returned from

U} Gov. Lawrence returned from
New York Tuesday morning, and an
nounces that he had the pleasure OF
shaking Kossulh by the hand, and that
he invited him TO come to Rhode Island.
Prodigious But the Hungarian did not
give him any assurance that he would
accept his invitation. We suppose that
Gov. Lawrence would very much like
10 have demonstration here in favor Of
Kossuth, at an expense OF about live
thousand dollars to the State, SO that he
could figure little on small scale, and
have IN opportunity to say few words
Tho sc who voted for this New York
gentleman for the office Of Lieutenant
Governor, and those who refused TO
vote at all, although they were Wings,
will yet have the most ample cause TO
regret their conduct for Gov. Lawrence
will prove a dear whistle TO the crude

Kossuth:-
He was also waited upon by VIM.
Beach Lawrence the Lieut.. Governor
of Rhode Island, rendering him an invl-
tation to visit that State and partake oil
the hospitaliies of the Capitol.
Kossuth cordially thanked him, and
was pleased that "A Governor OF one oi
these United Safes should come forward
TO identity himself with the cause ol
Hungary.
So il seems that Gov. Lawrence las
taken upon himselito invite kossuth to
Rhode Island and partake Of the hospl-
talities Of the State. How do the peo-
pie OF Rhode Island fancy an opera
ton of this kind, at their expence, by
