Mr.. EDlToR "A happy New Year
to you and your readers; and may this
day one year find you and them in the
enjoyment of health and happiness.
The columns of the press have been
so filled with accounts of kossuth, ! was
led to suppose that any thing might say
would not find room and if it should,
would scarcely be read; the anxiety to
hear and read about the great Magyar
makes all else insipid, but as some kind
friends seem uneasy at my absence,
will endeavor to fill a spare nook occa-
slonally. The truth is, have myself
taken the Hungarian fever 50 intensely
that have not been in a fit humor to
relate commonplace occurrences. When
ever SIT down to commune with myself
| lnsensIbly wander Otto Europe, and
calculate the results of the great and
glorious doctrine of intervention, which
we, IN this acc Of progress, are about to
establish. It seems strange to me how
our torelathe"s, and especially Wash
lngton, should have gone so far astray as
to recommend the principle of month";
terventlon. fit had not been for them,
We should ere this have tecn into Ru--

| hope however it Is not vet too late.
Let Gen. Cass and Higher Law
Seward, and a few more such patriots
and lovers of their country, take the
lead, and such grand times as we shall
have. Let the opportunity once present
Itself and we'll soon skin tie old Rus
sian Bear and Austria too; and we'll give
the frog eaters a rap for sending an army
to Rome; nor will we stop until we have
whipped all Europe into RcpubIicanism
And we can do it, Didn't we thrash
the MeXicans in fine style? we did.
Didn't we drive John Bull from the
North Eastern Boundary and from fifty
four forty down to Gorty-ninel We as
suredl Y did, or Cass did for Us, Why
sir, when the time comes, lust let Gov
eminent call for volunteers, and see
what rush there will be 10 enlist. We
couldn't keep them back. First and
foremost would be Cass, and Seward
and Walker, and Horace Greeley; then
ibpSi, cn,,,a tito, MAJ, ,,.L,, ,,.,;t -, H.
snth and make speeches for Bunkum and
escort him from place to place. Next
the lawyers and members of the press
and rugnacious congressman, and then
the great host Of bar room politicians
&c. There will be no room left for such
men as fought IN Mexico.
Oh! it would be a grand army that
the fame Oft would 90 before and carry
dlsmay into the heart of Europe. Port
Deposit would send her quota; we have
many here anXiously looking forward
for chance. That fine and efficient
company, the Cecil Gravs, who used tc
muster here, Will be eclipsed all boiler
Port is warlike place. Why 1t wa,

with police force, attacked and carried
by storm an ancient Ethiopian citadel
without the loss of single man. They
succeeded in capturing a large amount
Of provender and ammunition, though
the enemy escaped. Yes sir, we are The
boys for Russian campaign. Let the
signal be given and our valorous citizens
will respond TO the call. Already
81 see them on their winding way
"in horn."
Our town for two weeks past has been
completely blocked up with ice. 1t has
been many years since the Susquchanna
was frozen to such an extent. The
prospect to-day is that the river will
