of taking too much notice of Kossuth? Does he

admonish his organ to throw a decent veil

A MAXIM OF WASHINGTON.

Labor to keep alive in your breast that lit
tic spark of celestial fire. conscience" was one
of series of maxims which Washington franz
ed or copied for his own use when a boy. His
rigid adherence to principle his steadfast dis
charge of duty, his utter abandonment of SELF
his unreserved devotion to whatever interests
were committed to his care, attest the vigilance
with which he obeyed that maxim. He kept
alive that spark! He made it shine before men
He kndled it into flame which Illuminated his
whole life. No occasion was so mOmentous
no circumstance 80 minute, as to absolve him
from following its guiding ray. The marginal
explanation in his account book, in regard tC
the expenses of his wife's annual visit to the
camp during the Revolutionary war; with his
passing alluson to the sef-denial which the
exgencies of his country had cost him, furnish.
es charming illustration of his habitual ex.
actness.
We commend the above, with the lesson il
teaches, to the Union Safety Committee and the
CLOVER law" advocates it being notorious that
they apprehend great mischief from the con@i-
ent'ousneSs of the people. Forgetful of the
above MAXIM which deserves to be written in
letters of gold, we are urged to conquer our
prejudices in favor of liberty, and to commit
our consciences to the keeping of the law-ma-
kers. 1t may be that the lawmakers are great
men, and wisdom will die with them. but. with

passing through it on public thoroughfarc, in
public conveyance without stopping longer
than the necessities of such conveyance demand,
they are guilty of greater wrong than the act
itself contemplated It is a very easy way for
them to make money by the operation, but we
should think that the State of Maryland would
allow compensation enough to its magistrates,
in the legitimate fees of their Office, without
compelling them to fleece poor colored man
for support If such construction of the law
be tolerated, we shall have a new process for
manufacturing slaves for. should free person

liable to be arrested and sold as n slave for life,

Suppose the Colonization Society Of Washing
ton should undertake to carry through Mary
land to New York, for the psrpOse of shipping
to Liberia, some score of free colored emigrants
it would be obliged to pay total fine OF $500!
The good people of Maryland will not suffer
themselves to be so disgraced; the press of that
State will certainly speak out against this out
rageous misconstruction of law which, at the
best is an extremely oppressive one. Let the
meaning of the law be decided by some respon-
sible tribunal on suit for damages against a
constable or magistrate who shall attempt this
perversion Of its intention

DISCLAIMING RESPONSIBILITY

The Washington Republic, while admitting
the report that the President has issued orders
to enforce the laws in Syracuse against those
who were guilty of breach of the peace,
denies that he ordered them to be indicted for
Treason. The New York Express also says
This is a new discovery, that the Admins
tratiOn is responsible for the law of treason, and
the construction that the courts put upon the
law of treason The Administration is attacked
as if it were responsible for what Lord Coke
said, or John Marshall, or Judge Story-nay,
what all intelligent judges have said for two
hundred years Treason is very clearly defined
| in the law books 1t is very difficult to mistake
what it is. These law books and this definition
the Administration did not make; and if any
CRIMINALS fall in the way of them, it is the law,
not the Administration, that is their enemy"
So the Administration journals begin to find
~ ~ tRes9 sse~s5ifs,s ,9re psshedsss, 1'r
and they are now anxious to shield the President
from responsibility in the matter. They will find
themselves obliged to be little more explicit
and emphatic in their disclaimers, as the People
become awakened to the full enormity of the
doctrine of constructive Treason This thing Of
putting to death American citizens for acts,
made Treason, not by the Constitution or Laws,
but by Interpretation of irresponsible Judges,
who respect English precedents more than repub-
lican institutions, "wont go" in this country. AS
for the New York Express, if it live long enough,
it will learn that the Constitution has defined the
only act, to be recognised and treated in our
country as treason-the act of "levying war;
and adhering to the enemies of the United
States, giving them aid and comfort 1t did not
leave it to judges lawyers or law books Eng
lish, Or American, to define Treason. As the
Constitution is the "higher law" of the Express
let it study that instead of Coke and Jeffreys

TIC institutions of the South and suppressing
agitation, We waded through the cloudy
conceits of the Letter, expecting to find some
where statement of the wonderful amend
ment that should accomplish such results, but
not a trace of it could we detect. The whole
production is feeble and inconclusive, not worth
the comment We have bestowed on it.
Mr.. Clay's Letter is in reply to the Castle
Garden patriots Of New York who are still in
trepidation for tlo Union. His counsels thew
hope will he like oil ON the troubled waters
The Letter is very well written The author
does not seem to ympathize with the profound
apprehensions of the patriots He thinks
North and South loyal; that the Compromise
measures were just what they ought to have been,
and that all the world is beginning to believe
so-that the Fugitive Law is Just and good.
and will be executcd-and that Mr.. Seward
and his friends in simply asserting the right
to discuss and seek the modification of any law
did very unnecessary thing, and really meant
only to throw up "a decent cover for their retreat
from wrong position. He does not name Mr..
Seward but he desgnates him with sufficient
clearness
The main part of the Letter, however, is de-
voted to the subject of Secession on which he
makes fair argument, only it happens to be
little after date.

Some people seem to think that every act OF
benefcence or hospitality to a foreigner is an
aggression upon their rights. Every cent given
in this way is so much taken from them Such
persons fancy themselves patriotic, but their
patriotism is the meanest kind of selishness.
They are the legitimate descendants of the old
Jews. who thought the Gentiles dogs and have
entirely overlooked the fact that we live under
the Christian dispensation, which has the pro-
foundest regard for mankind, but none at all
for races or nations.

THE PRESS AND KOSSUTHS ADDRESS.
The eloquent address of Kossuth, on our
fourth page, produced great sensation on its
appearance in the Union. In New York the
Erening Post Herald, Daily Times, Tribune,
&c. inserted it without delay, and by this time
it has been read by hundreds of thousands of
our People. The following from the Nep York
Evening Post shows what the New York press
thinks of a document that the two Wing or
gans in this city do not deem worthy of a place
in their columns:
The address Of Kossuth.-We republish on
the outside, from our second edition of Satur-
day, the great address of Kossuth to the people
OF America. In doing so, we cannot forbear to
remark upon the excellent taste, the fine rhet-
Oric, the pure and lofty sentiment, and the deep
religious enthusiasm, by which it is character
lied We have seldom read public document
in which good sound sense was more happily
blended with the most glowing eloquence. It
has the fervor and brillance of the Oriental
imagination, chastened by the rugged strength
of the Northern mind No one can read it
without deriving from it clear idea of the
S"uooo anu VI tuc hungarian
struggle, of its business and absolute necessity,
and of the magnanimous forbearance and pru-
dence as well as earnest valor, by which it was
conducted.
kossuth is an evident enthusiast but one
whose strong convictions and fearless zeal is
controlled by clear insight into the practical
bearings of the questions he handles, and
thorough knowledge of the temper and tone of
his people. 1t is this ability to manage, COM
bined with this ardent sincerity which gives
him such instant and wide influence with his
fellows which induces them to mingle with
their profound love of him as a man, some de-
gree ofthat yeneratiOn which exalts him into the
prophet. This reciprocal devotion of the peo-
pie and their leader, indeed, has beautiful
simplicity in it. exceedingly rare in these days,
and not often surpassed in those earlier times
when the worship Of heroes was living faith.
kossuth, in the liberal expression of his graf
itude to England and the United States, pays
the highest compliment to their generosity and
freedom but at the same time makes an incl
dental remark, which is full of keen rebuke.
Had a single English or French agent, says he,
come to us in our trouble, the event would have
been changed What a poignant reflection is
that! Had the liberal nations of the earth
followed up their cheap sympathy with the
bold outward act Hungary would not now be
bleeding at the feet of the Car; and her chill
dren would not now be wandering, homeless
and Outcast, over the face of the earth.

For the National Era
AN INCIDENT.
BY WILLIAM SYDNEY THAYER.


The Spring is breathing on the earth
Its soft warm gales of scented air.
And birds and bees are singing forth
The joy of Nature everywhere
darker green creeps o er the hill,
The lilac purples in the hedge,
The budding willow by the rill
Leans with young bOughs beside its edge.
The bush, that through the winter long
Tapped dolcfully against the pane,
Is sladdened by golden throng
OF blossoms brimmed with evening rain.
But here, while all is joy and hope,
In Deaths mysterious sumbers bound,
Lies one, whose eyes shall never Opo
To the gay scene of life around.
On the cold, wrinklcd face, smile
Tells that the soul exempt from change,
Has sailed for some serener isle,
In happier fields than ours to range
As free and light, as if the breeze
Had blown her from the odorous west,
A child wreathed with anemones,
Glides towards the aged form at rest
Her fair curls toss in wild delight,
Her sweet eyes are of changeful blue,
Yet the still u9ssery Of thai. sigh. 5..,
Has touched them with deeper hue
Start not, dear child, so sweet and fair
Z, y" y 1svsSe ,~.sSA '.s~,ates AosSnsu,s -
For thou with that pale sleeper there
Art linked in strange similtude
Both at Life dawning Thine is blent
Of care and mirth, of smiles and tears;
Hers flooded with divine content
Unmeasured by the flight of years.
Milton, Mass, 1851
