power and influence has bot begun to develop
itself To the powers Of darkness and despo-

consequence as the spray which vets the sea
mans cheek, telling HIM Of the mighty wave
that is even now gathering its might TO over

KossurHs reception by the two Houses OF
Congress is in itself protest on the part oil THIS
country against Austrian oppression and Russian
,-lf Oft fron
people against dospotism, and IN favor OF down
trodden humanity Looked upon III this light II
ceases to seem unmportant-the cold tngldlty
Of Us ceremony passes away from orr VISION.
We see only the vast Importance OF the prlncl-
pie involved and by It declared-tle value and
momen, OF the onward step taken, the higher
position reached IN our national career.
This then may be regarded as one OF the
great events Of the week-a first step that in
wolves long series AS an inevitable conse-
quence, whose magnitude and Importance may
only be appreciated hereafter as time shall de-
monstrate their influence and results
The dinner 10 Kossuth " ednesiay evening
was another occasion ion incidents and events
m!l of promise and future moment OF THIS ma
turc may be mentioned the general indications
and evidences Of increased sympathy for the
principles and cause he unprecedented, not shown
only N empty cheers, or passing, eHanoscont,
and momontary interest, but IN 0ut-spoken dec
laralions OF purposes and principles, and m sin
ccre convictions. OF tins nature, IA It's lmpor-
tant influence upon Others swaylag many minds
otherwise inaccessible among ourselves, and
not without important influence across the A.
lanuc, must be regarded the speech Of the
Secretary OF State on that occasion It's impor-

sand by him upon that occasion, as It does nom

OF personal importance 10 themselves, and IL Is
not improbable to their party and TO the country.
Again the celebration OF the 9Th of Jan. has
been another occasion for significant events with
future influences and prospective effects. Among
other things toreshadowed on that occasion Is the
final end and overthrow OF any Union party. If
any such was ever seriously contemplated
