MADAME KossuTH, says the New York
Herald, is more like Magyar than her
distinguished husband. She is rather small
er than he is, IL proportion, but OF stronger
frame. She is brunette, with good
complexion, and fine dark, luslrous eyes,
Good sense is the prevailing idea suggested
by her countenance. Modesiy and quiet
ness are also there. She is reserved in her
manner and looks like a ma;ron worthy to
be the wife of Kossuih.

WASHlNGTON, Jan SIh, 1852.
Kos nth was to-day introduced to the
House OF Representatives, when, in answer
to the welcome expressed to him, in brief,
but aflrctionate terms, he spoke as follows :
"Sir, it is a remarkable fact in the history
of mankind, that while, throughout the
past, honors were bestowed upon glory,
and glory was attached only TO success, the
legislative authorities of this great krpub-
lie, bestow the highest honors upon per-
secuted exile, not conspicuous by glory, not
! favored by success, but engaged in Just
cause. There is IA triumph Of republican
principles in this fact. Sir, thank the
House of Representatives Of the United
States, in my, and my conniry'S name, for
the honor Of this cordial welcome"
The House afterwards adjourned, and
the members were severally introduced :;
after which Kossuth Withdrew. The din
ner at the National came off between and

but did not accept. Webster spoke twice !;

pally by Lewis Cass and Judge Douglass.
MIR. WebSter'S speech, without promising
anything to Hungary, ridicued Austria,
and alluded to his llulSemann letter, which
he wrote the summer before last in his lei
sure hours, amid his native mountains of
New Hampshire. The aIlusion to friar

! plainly showed that Austria bad no friends

most eloquent ever listened to, and do
not accept any one | have heard on the
floor Of either House of Congress. The
applause was less but many an eye moist
ened, and the tears trickled down the
cheeks even of my neighbor, Mr. Corco-
ran. They were tears that did him as
much credit as any bill he has yet honor
ed, either in the way of business or from,
charity. Some OF the Western Members
and Senator'S had to apply their handker-
chiefs 10 their eyes, and many stern man
was seen 10 melt before the magic of true
, eloquencr, in man Of true character. A,
one OF the most skilful turns of the orator
you will notice the prayer to Almighty
God for succor, which he interwove 81
beautifully, so pathetically, ard at the same
time so clearly, with view to pray fol

Neighbor Frary, of the Warrick Democrat,
appears to be getting excited. One of his
subscribers it seems has ordered out his ad
vertisements and stopped the paper, for the
reason, as brother Frary says, that it is ''too
Democratic" He adds, "Mr. p. can proba-
bly, get along without our paper-we are very
certain we can get along without his patron
age"
That our neighbor can get along without
Mr.. P. we can easily understand and readily
admit; but we must be excused for not concur
ring in the suggestion that Mr.. P. can get
along without the Democrat. That we think
would be impossible. No one who has been
accustomed to read that spicy and amusing
sheet, can expect to "get along without ac-
cess to its most refreshing columns truth
which we fear Mr.. p. will have to acknowl-
edge, however notifying it may prove to
him.

Noticc Extra.

We have been in the habit of making re-
mittances for subscribers, to the publishers OF
Magazines and Newspapers. the last FIVE
years at least, considering ourself auti,cF-
lied to thus far act as the agents of these
publications, and in so doing comforting an
obligation to the parties interested. Editors
are recognized thus far as agents by every
periodical in the country, as we had supPo-
sed. Well, it is singular and suspicionable
fact, that of all these remittances, the only
ones which ever failed to receive the proper
acknowledgment of the publisher, were two
subscriptions sent to Godey's Lady Book, the
monies being placed in our hands for the pur-
pose of remittance, and the persons having
subscribed from reading notices of the Book
in the Journal. These subscribers did not
receive their Books, and we were compelled
to write again. The first subscriber, a lady,
has since received her Book. The second,
after again writing, received the Book for six
months, when it was stopped. He sent on a
duplicate of our receipt, and had it returned
money had not been received, and that Mr..
Sanders was not an Agent of the Lady's
Book. Now Heaven knows, we have not
the slightest ambition to figure as the Agent
of the most wishy-washy periodical in the
country, but which we have repeatedly prais-
ed for its pretty appearance. Yet notice
on the cover of this Book declares all editors
and postmasters agents! We have made a
statement of facts, and now leave it to other
editors, to act as agents or not of this work
as they please. Cooley has been soft-sawder-
ing and humbugging Western Editors about
long enough, but he gets paid very well if he
makes as much out of all as he is trying to
make from us. Subscribers will please re.
NIT on their own responsibility hereafter
We shall remit Mr.. Cooley three dollar:
again for one years subscription to his Book
rather than an innocent subscriber be disap
Pointed-but we shall take care toshave I

Meeting of German wings.

The German Wings of Evansville held
meeting at the Court House last Friday eve
ming, and concluded the formation of a Ger
man Scott Club. Phillip Decker, was elect
ed President; VIM. Heilman, Vice President,
and Edward Newmaster, Secretary. a Con-
stitution and Bye-Laws were adopted. The
following resolutions were read and unani-
mously adopted. We respectfully refer them
to those Germans, of both parties, who were
not present. Speeches were made by Messrs.
Bush, Decker and Carpenter:
WHEREAS, we, as naturalized citizens, take
deep concern i'm the welfare of our adopted
country, and whereas, from many years eX-
perience we consider ourselves competent to
Judge of the merits of the two great politi-
cal parties, and as freemen desire to express
our sentiments, without reserve, therefore
Resolved, That we recognize in the Wing
party the party of PROCESS and order, whose
principles aim to protect and encourage all
branches of industry and the general pros
perity of our common country.
Resolved, That we view the hostility shown
If late years to all measures for the improve
ment Of Western Rivers and Harbors by the
Democracy. as especially injurious to the in
terest of the Great West; aud that we be-
lieve it to be the duty of the General Gov
eminent, to protect and facilitate Western
Commerce and intercourse. fully as well as
the States, bordering upon the sea coast.
RESOLVED, That we recognize the principle
of non-intervention, laid down with the Wing
Platform as polite and wise, persuaded that
the quiet moral influence of our institutions
has done more and will contribute more to-
wards spreading republican principles abroad,
than all our navies and armies could accom-
plish.
Resolved, That we recognize in General
Winfield Scott, a warm support err of these
principles, as well as man, who by his brill
liant military achievement as much as by his
civil merits has rendered himself WORTHY
of the highest confidence and has well
earned claims upon the gratitude of the
American people, and that we will use all
hon orable means to insure his election.
Resolved, that the Editors of the Volksbste
and of the Journal, be requested to publish
these resolutions.

MAJOR ROBINSON ON DEmocRAcY.-The
Major in an address to the citizens of Rising
Sun, few weeks ago, informed his audience
at the commencement, that he had always
been Democrat, that he had acted in good
faith with that party as long as they were
governed by principles, but as soon as he
found they were after nothing but the spells
Of office he left them.
He said the party had torsa'en their prin-
cipals-and instanced the different positions it
had occupied on the subject of Banks. and
many other prominent questions, showing
that its course had been so vascellating that
he could not keep up, and maintain due de-
gree of consistency. Mr.. R. found some
fault with the Wings, but awarded them the
merit of greater consistency than the oppo-
site party possessed. We are glad to see the
Major retain sufficient principle to make the
above truthful statement; though we disagree
with him politically. as widely as with the
Locofoco party, yet are glad to see him ac-
knowledge 50 notorious fact.

LAYING on THE HICKoRY.-We should like
to hear some Democratic friend explain why
the two Pierce clubs in this city are called
"Hickory Clubs" The Wings have two
Clubs in Evansville which they call "Scott
Clubs" They are not ashamed of their can
didate, while in the other case it looks very
much as if Democrats were either ashamed
of their nominee, or thought the attaching
of his name to their clubs would bring them
to Deaths door in q very short time. They
are probably right. If Pierce Clubs could
strike no heavier blows for a cause, than
Gen. Pierce struck in Mexico, for his coun-
try's glory, they would have to speedily faint
to preserve a show of good intentions 1t is
well for them to steal little thunder of past
days, by cabbaging the appellaton given to
Gen. Jackson. They have no thunder Of
their own at this day, or if they have any, it
compares to Wing thunder like the sheet
iron imitation OF theatre to.the artillery Of
