They have consented to allow certain per

The Presidency.

The ensuing year will be one Of exciting in
terest in politics The presidential contest
viii be warm one, and although the State
elections this fall have gone with few excep-
tions, adversely to the Wings, we look for
ward eonidentialiy to success next November.
This year the vote in nearly all the States has
been very light, the Wing strength has not
been brought to the polls, or if brought in too
many instances it has been divided and weak
ened, by causes that will not exist in the Ma
tional contest. In few months the National
Wing Convention will be held. and candidates
for the Presidency and Vice Presidency will
be presented by the united Wing party of the
Union. The signs of the times uuerringly
indicate. as we think, that Gen. Winfield Scott
will be the Wing standard bearer, and with
Edward Bates, of Missouri, James G. jones, Of
Tennessee, or some other good national Wing
on the ticket with the Hero who never lost a
battle, the victories of 1910 and '4s will be
repeated in lS52-Under Scott there is evry
element of union, enthusiasm and success He
is eminently national man, distinguished for
his intelligence, experience. patriotism, and
services as the successful Paci6cator, and the
great Captain of the age. and his election to
the first office in the gift of the people would
be but the just reward of life devoted to the
welfare and glory of the Republic.

the public reception of Kossuth is respectful
ly directed to the following, the substance of
what the Governor of Hungary himself says
of the President:
"Your President" said Kossuth, chad al

sci 10 Europe FOR my own and the release of
my com panions in the affairs of Europe. The
manner in which he has acted is worthy of
the American People,-worthy of free ma

done. The Message of the President showed
that you had reached turning point in the
affairs Of the world, and the President, in the
future history. of nations, would enjoy the
high consideration of taking stand in that
turning point. God bless the President" he
continued, "for. what he has said and done
to the despossQf the world, and for what he
has done for my country"

minislrators of the Government We trust
they may receive pardon in the world to come,
