One OF the most effective means employed by the
Jesuits, political and supersttous, TO destroy the
influence and power of their enemies, is calunny.-
They always attack the men whose power and in
huence they fear, and whom they cannot bribe, with
charges utterly false, but so artluy contrved, that
their truth may appear probable, even to intelligent
men, To give effect to those calunmies, they seduce
the former friends of the objects Of their hidden
seance if this is possible, and they suborn them to
edit their infamous attacks
Such is the course being pursued owards
Kossuth by the Russo-Austrian enemies of liberty.
They first hired Casimir Batthyany to attack his
friend and compatriot, and now they have suborned
another miserable tool called Seszmere, fol merly
President of the Hungarian Ministerial Council, 10
follow up thatattack. The letter Of Seszmere, which
is full Of personal vanity and puerile depreciation Of
Kossuth delights the hearts of all the hunkers in
Christendom, and comes like incense to the nostis
Of the New York Courier and Enquirer. 1t is not
The last Of the same sort. The Williams who conco,t
those letters, know, thai though the first, second,
third, and fourth blows of an assassin's hand NAV
rebound from the breast Of true man, yet, if they
contnae to strike, they will wound and destroy even
Immaculate innocence. The continued succession
of drops Of water will penetrate to the heart Of
rock. Continued attacks upon the soul Of purity,
will wound it. We trust, however, that the people
of this country will remember that kossuth is fierce
" hated by the tyrants OF Europe, and as intensely
beloved BY his own people. This alone is sufficient
reutaton of all such attacks as that of Bauhyany and
Seszmere. Austria would gladly give, from her beg
CARED treasury, an ounce of gold for every drop Of
life blood in the Magyar's heart. The Hungarans
wait his return TO lead them 10 liberty, with the
faith and patience of martyrs.
Let the mean, trucking suborned tools of despot.
ism sit in the shadows OF loodthirsty royal mon
stcrs, and unite with the gall of their oathsome
hearts, their envious attacks upon Kossuh; we,
free and republican people, will still more warmly
cherish the republican and the man.

DEN OF CoUNTERFEITERs-E rtraordi-
nary deueLopments.-An engrayer OF Cincinnati,
says The Times Of that city having occasion to ex-
ecute fine piece of work, took up his abode at
the engraving establishment of one Robert Neil
a thographer and steel plate printer, at Mount
CARMEL about fourteen miles f;om the city.
One day during the absence of Neil, he observ-
ed an impression of bank note upon one of the
press-boards of Ne's printing room. His suspi-
cions were aroused, well knowing that Neil had
no authority to print bank notes, and he immedi-
ately came TO the city and communicated the In
formation to the President of one of our banks,
who advised him to return and institute further
investigation, which he did. After returning, he
got into conversation with an ignorant German,
who had been in the employ of Neil for three
years, and learned that he got but $l3 per month
He told him ne could get him situation In the
city,a salary OF Sl3 per week ''but," adds the
gentleman, ''you cannot print bank notes, Can
you?' ooh, yes,' says the German. SHUT you
must not tell Neil, as am sworn not to say any
thing about 1t by Mr.. Neil, who says he prints
for the State"
He was then told that he had been making
counterfeit money, and was liable to imprison-
ment in the Penltenliary. The German became
alarmed hurried off to Neil, and refused to work
any more, and informed him what he had been
tolu Inc gentleman iHlmeulately came 10 the
city with the German, and the information was i'm
parted to the officers. U. s. Deputy Marshal, S.
B. Hayman, accompanied by other officers, i'm
medately proceeded to Neil's residence, but the
bird had not only fled, but destroyed every thing
which could be brought against him evidence
The German states that over $400,00 in coun-
terfeit money had been made by Neil during the
past two years The notes were SOS, 20's, los,
and SIS upon the State Banks Of Ohio and Indi-
ana, and 20's, los and SIS upon the Northern
Bank ofKentucky. MIR. Hayman followed him
to New York, but losing all trace of him there, it
is supposed that he has fled to Europe. Many
things have been elected since the discovery. i'm
plicating persons Of high standing in the vicinity
of Cincinnati. tits supposed that this establish
ment has furnished nearly all the counterfeit
money on the above banks that has flooded the
country for two years past.

far as the meridian of Behring Straits. Lady
Franklin contributes $500, and Capt Beatson has
purchased vessel of 200 tons, which he intends

At a meeting of the students of Worcester Acade-
my, held Monday evening, Feb. 9th 1852, the fol-
lowing resolutions, expressing their opinion of Mr.
c. G. Burnett, the Principal of the Academy, and
the estimation in which he is held by them, were
unanimously adopted:
ReStlved, That we believe Mr. Burnett to be emf
neny qualified for his present position, or any other
OF a similar character. That as a teacher we have
ever found him thorough, impartial, patient, and
persevering; discharging not only his own duty but
also mpressing with frequency and earnestness, up
on our minds, the Importance of accuracy in every
stage Of study.
Resolved, That we have found him gentleman,
on all occasions; always ready to give advice in
OF difficulty, and to mpart information on any
subject within the circle of his knowledge. In the
discipline of the Academy, he has evidently colsult-
ed the best interests of the Students and has in no
case, so far know, executed the penalty at
tending the violation of any regulation, when it was
not actually demanded.
RESOLVED, That it is with deep regret that we part
with him, and we shall ever feel a lively interest in
his future prosperity and happiness, and shall ever
remember the days spent under his instruction, as
among the brightest and best Of our lives.
Resolved, That we have found Mr. w. Hillman,
during his short connection with us, a faithful and
efficient teacher wise and udicous counselor and
a true gentleman; and we cheerfully recommend him
as man, a teacher, and Christian.

Mr.. SUMMERS SPEECH ON THE PUBLIC
LANDs-In the Senate, on tuesday, last eek,
Judge Felch Of Michigan, Chairman of the Com
mttee on Public Ian S, in an elaborate speech,
adopted and advocated the position of Mr. Sum
ner on the Iowa Land Bill in reference 10 the Pub
lie Lands. Mr.. Borland of Arkansas, said that
Mr.. Summers speech was the best he had ever
heard in the Senate, and that it would be pub
lished in every paper in the West. He added that
1t would look strange to see the speech of Mas
sachusetts Free Soier in the Arkansas papers.
Mr.. Walker of Missouri, said that it was the
most important speech for the West that had been
made in the Senate for ten years. 1t has been
received with enthusiasm and even gratitude, by
the Western members, who are preparing to fol-
low in the same track.
The Washington, Baltimore, and New York
papers, speak in high terms Of the speech, and it
seems to have met, generally, with a favorable re-
ception. All this must exert an immense inhu-
ence in Mr.. Summers BEHALF
