KossUiH IN THE WEST.

1t seems as though the people in the
west did not enter into the Kossuth
excitement with that degree of enthu-
siasm which made the good people Of
so ne of the eastern cities look so ri
diculous. Though some of them were
willing to keep up the excitement, the
great body Of the population had be-
come disgusted with the ridiculous
homage bestowed upon him, which, TO
some extent, prevented manifesto
tion of that respect which, undoubted-
" all felt for him as q patriot. From
the following extracts, it would seem
the illustrious Magyar, was sorely dis
appointed with his reception, and in
all probability made himself look ri
diculous by the manner in which he
displayedhis chagrin, at not receiving
as much money rs he had expected,
and not being waited upon by as great
crowd of people. Though we wish
the Hungarian patriot entire success
in every laudable undertak ng, parti-
cularly in the final liberation Of his
country from the tyrant's rule, we are
glad to see that American people are
beginning to look upon his schemes in
more common sense light. The
Cincinnati Commercial represents the
scene at the demonstration there in a
most ridiculous light, and gives the
dialogue between him and the COM
mittee:
Kossuth-"You see, gentlemen,
your grand demonstration for the Hun
garian cause was a failure la fail
ure la failure !! p
A spokesman of the committee here
attempted to offer an explanation in
apology--alluding to the shortness Of
the notice given to the public, and the
disappointment felt at postponing the
day Of meeting as originally notified
his own indisposition suggesting the
alteration, &c.

9 o'clock on Sunday morning they were
discovered by the captain and crew Of

them and passed them, as the men re-
port, without attempting to render them
any assistance. When she passed, they
gave up all hope, having been three
days without water or food of any kid.

nately discovered short time after by

TIE REVENUE BILL. there

March and the first Monday Of Septem-
Der in each year and in default Of pay.

time specified, each such inhabitant
shall shall pay poll tax of FIVE dollars

tant be listed by tho Assessor or not ;
