Captain Long evidently judged Kossulh by
himself, for we take ii he islust one Of that kind
of heroes that can crow like cock on his own
dung hill, but sinks away in the most abect ter

notion OF increasing the displeasure of one of
Louis Napoleon's understrappers, und crouched
like whipped spaniel before the annunciation of
the Projects displeasure, manifested through
Consul Hodge.

same day that the former letter was written. and

A letter from Consul Hodge to Mr.. Webster,
concludes this much talked of correspondence, so
far as 1t has been published, in which the former
gentleman makes an erparte statement of his
own course and conduct in the flair, 10 Offset one

part Of the officers of this Government, who are
concerned in this affair, as must make the cheek

profound learning, and LITERALLY progressive senti-

Cured in by all parties here, has received The
warm commentator Of the people of the Com
monweath, and, sir, the people will demand that
future Legislatures shall follow the example of the
present, and give all sects aud all parties lair
representation in thi, Board of Oyerseers Sir,
