VIII we Declare War against Russia!
Kossuth in his speech to the New York bar
said:
"Iwill not steal into your sympathy by slippery
evasion. Yes, gentlemen, confess, should Rus
sia not respect such declaration of your coun-
try, then you are obliged, literally obliged, TO go
to war else to be prepared to be degraded before
mankind from your dignity"
And this speech was received by the New York
bar with applause Kossuth is truly great
man, but he must not deceive himself. New York
is not the United States. New York, although
the great centre of American finance and of
American commerce, is scarcely an American
city. 1t is made up of the population Of all ma
Htions, and therefore sympathizes much more with
Kossuth and his measures than the American
people will do.

one and the only regret was that 1t did not belong

SHUTTING OUT THE LIGHT--Under the above
head, or something of the sane purport,-for we
have mislaid the paper, the Washington Union
charges that the South Carolina press have with
held from their readers the proceedings of the
"great Union meetings" Mt the North, and it evil
IDENTITY implies that they have done so for the
purpose of preventing the people of this State
from being borne away by the sublime tide Of
those mighty doings, from being softened, flat
tered and kneadcd into that general slough of
submissonsm in which the editor Of the Union
founders and splutters. The charge is untrue
in the first place. and absurd in the second. The
press Of South Carolina has noticed abundantly
that such meetings have been held, and it has
done what the editor Of the Union has not and
never will do, it has explained the true character
ofthose demonstrations sand set exactly the right
value on them as an element Of practical politics
1t has continually pointed to the fact that, in
spite Of those demonstrations, fugitive slaves
are no more restored than be'orc and it hence
concludes that either those meetings had very
little sincerity, or else that they represented no
controlling portion ofthe community Probably
the truth is confused mixture Of both deduc-
tons, and embraces good deal more than half
Of each. We have not indeed published the
proceedings Of these "Unon meetings" ut length,
but the press nowhere willingly encumbers it's
columns with matter that is neither valuable nor
amusing.
But the imputation Of suppressing these
proceedings to prevent the people of South
Carolina from being concated towards the
North, is absurd. The @Union meetings" have
NIL been called to endorse the Clay Compromise
measures in all their length and breadth. Not
one of them has breathed syllable Of dissent
to one of those measures on the ground that it
was unjust to the South. But the Compromise
was the very course Of the resistance spirit of
South Carolina, and it is for tho wrongs and
robberies embodied there, that they demand re-
dress. Is it likely they would be appensed by
the proceedings fpublic meetings which fully
endorse the measures that have aroused their In
dignatlon!
Again, in the proceedings Of nearly every one
Of these meetings, the Southern Rights men, all
who are earnest to defend the South from OPP
preston and ruin, are studously cassed with
the Abolitionists, ns If robbing ones neighbors,
and defending ones self against robbers, were
like and equal offences against law and honesty.

An Unsest,led Settlement.


The following is copied into the InieHigcncer
Of yesterday:
Georgia has settled the Compromise qucs ton
for the South Her position will be occupied
by the other saveholding communities Let us
trust that New York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania
have in like manner settled the same question
for the Norh. Against the combined efforts OF
these confederacies, nrrayed IN defence of pence,
harmony, justice, and The Union, the miserable
fanaticsm the misguided ab,litoa leaders, and
the rampant sgdition of the fre-eaters, are
equally impotent--Nep Orleans Bee.
Well, Georgia has declared for dissolution
of the Union, in case the Fugitive slave law is
repealed or essentially modified
And New York has already elected one, and
Ia about to elect another Senator in favor either
ofits repeal or essential mo1fcition-so with
Ohio. And the Wing party, the IaeHigencer's
own party in Pennsylvania has nominated for the
Senate Mr.. JOHNSON, who, in his last message,
has also recommended the repeal or modifca-
ton Of TINT law.
II this il the way these Northern and South
ern Confederacies combine, we are afraid the
Union is in had way.
