Ur The Kossuh meeting on the 22d was well attended
and much enthusiasm manifested by the people.
Governor Wrghts remarks explanatory Of the object OF
the meeting were well timed, eloquent and patriotic.
He was followed by Hon. John Petit, who made the
great speech of the evening, showing that by armed In
terventon in the Hungarian struggle the Gar Of Rus
sa violated the great law of nations which permits
cry nation establish its form of Government, and
make its own municipal regulations and that by such
yiolation it became subject TO all the penalties. He
showed clearly that it good cause for war, and if
the result it because policy, and not
right, which demanded different course, aud whilst he
was now opposed to committing the United States in IA
of armed intervention he opposed to committing
them against it.
The remarks Of DR.. Davis were appropriate and well
received by the audience. Mr.. Reid. who is plain,
straight forward Scochman in his speech forgot the old
maxim that the truth should always be told and al
uded the action Of certain leading wings in the Leg
islaure. This brought down the vengeance of Hon. j.
Lyle King, the author of the original resolutions which
passed the House, and which Mr.. Dunn Of Lawrence,
moved in the Senate reject because thay in
the English language. He peculiarly severe on Mr..
Reid. who he cassed among the poets sc. liz was in
favor Of sympathy for Hungary and adored Kossuh for
his talents and his patriotism but he wanted to stop at
sympathy and moral suason. He wanted to tell Russia
that she interfere, but if she did interfere. he
wanted her to know that did intend to fight hor
The latter part of his speech capital. He showed
an intimate acquaintance with the Historical facts of the
Hungarian revolution and showed very concusvey that
senator Dunn, in his attack the motives Of Kossuth
and the and objects of The struggle for freedom in
Hungary, was clearly in
The reply of Capt. Gibson peculiarly happy. He
said that Mr Reid had be led the mistake OF sup
pasig that the wings 1?roted to Kossuth because
SIX Of the nine wings in the Senate had voted against
the simple resolution Of welcome and that the only op
position in the House had from the whg side, and
abat he Mr. King, notwithstanding his euloges Of Kos
uth and his poetical speech glowing with patriotism
and eIoquenee he could not take time to eaTe the
lobby, when he enjoying fine Havana cigar, to
come in and for the resolutions which created much
merrmen at the expense Of Mr.. King. On the whole,
glorious meeung-(ull of spirit and enthusiasm.

INDIANAPOLIS, THURSDAY, JANUARY /, 1852.

O-The organ Of the Party the Indiana Journal led
off 10y assang the motives and designs of Kossuth and
undertaking the Hungarian people, by comparing them
to the Africans in the Slave States.-State Sentinel
fThe above written by a man who when asked
II he had given any pledges in relation to the Speaker
ship, shook his head and who afterwards convicted
OF alsehood the floor of Congress- 1t ought not to
be expected that such could do less than give
utterance to the above wilu and unmigated untruth
Indiana Journal.
the first article which he wrote in relation to Hungary,
he propounds this question:
90 If the Sentinel is rampant for universal freedom
why does 1t not try itself the three millions held in
bondage in our own country7 That would never do
Those held in bondage have black skins and fit
for freedom! That will be the argument"
In his second article he says
Is the yoke of oppression endured by the Hunga-
rans heavier than that endured by the ensav9d Africans
In the savehoding Statesl Will the Sentinel answer?"
Here is the evidence sustain our assertion We do
not handy epithes with the blackguard Once when
boy we unfortunately got into fight with skunk and
got bady whipped, which served a good lesson never
to get into conflict with animal that uses the same
kind Of q weapon Hence we shall avoid Defrees
When arguments fall it is easy matter to resort to
Fish Market epithets. Oar readers, at least, shall
know that in a different circle. Six months
ago branded the shameless brow of this fellow with
cowardice, and there intend shall stick and burn
His vulgar epithets cannot and shall not remove it.
