Acts, known as the Adjustment Measures,
as forming in their mutual dependence aud
connection, a system of Compromise the

KOssuTH IN New York.-This extraordinary
man. who within one short month has established
a name both in England and America, for ab-
ity and eloquence, that places him at once among
the grealest men of the age, is still in New
York responding 10 the honors that are shower
ed upon him from all classes and from all quar-
tiers in profusion that has perhaps no parallel
in our history.
Last Thursday,he appeared at the magnifcen
banquet got up for hln by the Mayor aud Cor
poraton, and made one of the ablest and most
logical speeches ever uttered by jurst or states
man, IN defence of the objects Of his mission
as laid down in his Castle Garden Address
Tearing to filters the cold and selfish doctrine
of nonintewenuon in cases where unoifending
nations are about 10 be crushed by neighboring
despots, he showed by the usoges of our own
Presidents and our documents of diplomacy,
that there was nothing in our established policy
which prevents us as IA nation from accedlng to
hs propositions, which 60 to our acknowledge
ment of the independence Of Hungary, and say

HENRY CLAY.-Mr. Clay, it is said, is very
feeble and may not survive the session. Alas
for Clay No man has been more lauded by his
party or more shamcfuly treated by them than
he. They have twice deserted him, the ables
honest man of them all, for pitiful expedency
when their chances for securing the presidency
were best, Though differing from him in poll
Tics, and condemning his last labors to strengthen
an institution which he has avowed to be an evl
and wrong, we have ever admired bis frank
mes, his patriotism his intellectual brllliancy, ant
we will not wait till he is dead to say this, o
that there should be accorded to his name
proud place in American history.
