bune says:

Dune says:
"Beyond doubt he is the greatest Of orators
now living, and we shall not easily believe that
in that capacity he has ever been excel'ed."
That sentence, We should think, was
indited during the whirl of excitement
consequent on the Magyar's arrival.
Certainly the themes on which the
mind of kossuth dwells--his country's
struggles and suferings, "the spirits of
Hungarian martyrs" passing before HIM,
liberty, bondage-cannot fail to make
him eloquent: but The 7ribune's is a
sweeping remark.
The Same vessel which brought Hos
suth, brought also another celebrated, or
more properly, notorious parsonage
Lola Monies. Coming with him was
evidently a mistake on her part, for
though she would have made at ordina-
ny times, great excitement in any of
our cities, she is now completely over
looked. She is no: one of 'the things
talked about" and who regrets it !

Mrs, Fell and HyIamfct.,

We have received irom Mrs. Fell six long
foolscap pages ola reply 10 'Hamlet's" Defence.
For the most part-we beg her pardon for hav-
we'll worded scolding, which seems to us to be
of too little public interest to occupy so much
space. We, therefore, make few extracts from
what seems to he relevant to the points in dis
pute, hoping all will be satisfied
"Mr. Hamlet says he is prepared to prove the
statements he made are "virtually or literally
true" OF course | shall feel pleasure in
learning, he is not so destitute of probi,y, as
those assertions led me unwllinely to believe.
The only one as yet he has established according
10 his own showing, is the bylaw, not vastly
important to be sure, but still was not aware,
that when one member Of a society, numbering
some forty or fifty persons, took il into her head
TO prepare motto, for 4 certain occasion a.reea-
BILE TO her own ideas, without consulting, and
unknown to many otthe society, (Which was the
case in regard to the banner,) as MIR. ii. desig-
mates it; but which was, in fact, mere orna-
ment prepared for the OCCASION"
Speaking of the remarks of Hamlet in relation
to the builders of the Hall, and Abby Kelley,
Mrs. F. proceeds:
| "Whcre is the spirit of freedom and tolcra-
lion, our iorclalhers bled to establish! Would
il not be more in accordance with the preceptS
of the great and the good, that have gone be-
fore, if Mr.. Mr.. II. would challenge some Of
the Eastand gentleman to meet HIM in open
discussion on any, or all, ofthc above mentioned
subjects, doubt not but his opinions would be
respected in that desecrated Hall, where, he
s,ys, all minele together; ''black spirits and
white, blue spirits and gray" and think, he
might safely have lded, green, when he, him
self, was in attendance"
l, seems from the beginning of Mrs. F.s ar
,icle that she con'empates distant journey,
and farther on in her article, she says:
eff Hamlet is willing on IN, return home, he
may take the Constitution good as ii is, and
Daniel Webster to back him, as he seems 10
know no higher God, and | will take mine,
which is not "Dnniel," and the Declaration Of
Independence, and dare him toa contest through
any paper, that will give us an impartial hear
ing; and the gentleman is not both 'sdumb and
blind" he will see the mire in which he is
noundering, and would fan lend hand, to
help him OUT
Mrs. F. makes in another place the following
remark in which, we should think, all good
citizens will agree with her:
"Our country needs spirits who will elevate
and reconcile, not those who msreprcsenl, and
seek popularity by endeavoring 10 ALLEVIATE the
affections of one portion of our country from that
OF the othcr.''
Speaking of the mlsbehaviour outside the
Hall referred to by "lIamlet," Mrs. F. says:
"With the "harLihood' of a clear conscience,
wouldasain reiterate, in all truth and sincerity,
that | nerer witnessed one of those outdoor
scenes he alules to, and as for 'siaith'' must
acknowledge am more inclined 10 believe a
good than an evil report"

COUNSEL TO THE CoMMIssToNERs--John
Cooley ESQ.,, was on Thursday last elected coun-
sci to the Commissioners of Cecil county.
THE Conn CRop IN CEcIL.-Our farmers
agree in the opinion, since husking their corn,
that the crop is not more than two thirds Of an
average one, il so much as that.
ANOTHER LAwYER.-Jas. L. Mccullough,
Esq, who formerly resided here, has returned
again, and opened law office, as will be seen
by his card in another column.
New CnuRcH.-The Universalists, we un-
ders,and, have a new church nearly finished at
Chesapeake City. There are number of per-
sons of that religious persuasion in the neigh
borhood OF that place.
SHINGLES AND STAvEs.-Mr. David Scott of
Jno., has in operation, ut his mills on the Big
Elk, machines for cutting shingles and slaves
out of the solid block. The timber is first steam
ed, and the hardest blocks of oak are tran, formed
into handsome shingles Or slaves, with surpris-
ing rapidly.
FnEE MAsoNs.-We understand that the
not had a meeting till last week, for a long time,
is about revivng again. This ancient order has
dwindlcd away greatly in this section of the
Union for the last few years, but we learn there
is a general waking up among It's members at
the present time.
SUNDAY School ExrnBITIoNs.-The Sunday
School attached to the Methodist Z. Church in
this town, gives an Exhibition on Christmas
evening next, and the one attached TO the same
church in Chesapeake City gives one on the
morning OF that day. These exhibitions have
been very creditably gotten up heretofore, and
the exercises have been very interesting.
DELAWARE CoLLEGE.--A course of public
Lectures will commence in this institution on
Friday evening next, to be continued during the
winter. President Graham will, we understand
deliver the first lecture. Prof. kirkwood, will
we hear, succeed him; and the other members
of the faculty will take their turn in the course
We have not learned the subjects Of these lee
lures, but will give them from time TO time As
we learn them.

that the attention of the Governor was
early called to the Article of the Con-

that, whatever may have been the in

inference from that Article is, upon the

THE THINGS TALKED ABOUT.

Newspapers ana teieSraPhS tend much
TO make unity Of our whole people
TO keep them informed alike, and to pre-
sent to them all, almost at the same
time, the same topics of discussion. A
week ago the great kossuth reached our
shores, and to-day lis reception. his
speeches, the probable object of his Wis
it, are things talked about over nearly
the whole Union. Congress is engaged
with the subject; it is discussed alike in
the drawing room and the bar room, in
the heart of the great cities and in the
lonely cabins of the wilderness. Lib
erty, and those who struggle for it or
suffer for its sake, are themes possessing
of all Others the most interest to our
people. For the princi pie itself, they
have an alteration, and for its defenders
a sympathy, which, unsatis6ed with ex-
preston in words longs to express itself
in action.
The struggle of the Hunganans has
been matter of deep interest to the
people and government of this country,
and the progress of kossuth in his bat
ties, and his condition IN his exile, have
been ever watched with anxiety; and
now that he is amongst us, his words
and actions must necessarily engage our
earnest attention. Having in his first
speech in New York citv--a speech
marked with great ability and frankness
stated that he came to gain our top
erative sympathy and financial, material
and political aid'' for his country; the
question, how far he can be aided, is
agitatng the minds of statesmen and
people.

to its doctrine of non-interventon in
European affairs. That while we heart.
