BALTIMORE, Feb. ).
The IutoIlisencer publishes officially, this
morning, the remarks made by Mr.. Clay on in
teryenlion, on the occasion Of his interview with
Kossuth.
Mr.. Clay received Kossuih in a cordial man.
neT, and made q speech, in which he expressed
his decided opposition TO Intervention in EuroP.
can affairs, and said that BY such interference
we would be dawn into difficulties with Europe
without affecting any thing for European liber'yi
and our abandoning our policy Of non-inIeven'
Iion would be an excuse for Eurpean despo's TO
abandon them in regard TO US and already pro-
voked By our fatal example thu. men are capable
Of governing IhemselVs, and thereby exploding
the theory OF kings and despoIs, they would
turn upon US in our weakness, and by cOncenIra'
ting their powers, would prove irresistible, and
would say, we now crush you as The propagan.
dist Of doctrines destructive TO peace and good
order. But should we remain undsturbed by
such tremendous combination, The consequen'
ces would be bad enough.
He ins,anced The case Of France, whose unen.
lghlend people had voluntarily laid the yoke Of
despolsm upon their necks, as proof Of the I'M
possibility Of present success Of liberal lnsIlIu'
lions in Europe, and as a warning to America
TO RELY upon itself, and cherish with more care
than ever its institutions, and 10 preserve It's
we'll established policy and principles; and our
progress o greatness in another quarter o q
century will furnish an example which the rea'
son of The world cannot resisI-that il was far
better than being engagedn foreign wars,'o keep
our lamp Of liberty burning on, as light to all
nations, than 10 hazard its extinction among The
falling republics Of Europe.
KossuIh listened with great tahenlion-did moi
attempt to conWOvOn MIR. Cluy's argument, but
gave his reasons for the failure Of liberal nsIl'
lu,ions 10 France, aud after some other remarks
rose to depart, when Mr.. Clay rose and bid him
farewell for ever, with the utmost cordially
grusping his hand, said God bless you aud your
family bless your country, and may she
yet be- free. Rossu.h, profoundly bowing, pass
ed Clays hand 10 his heart, replied in tones o
deep emotion, thank you, hOnored sir. shall
pray for you every day, that your health may be
restored, and that God may proOng your life.
Some time since Mr.. Clay thought he woulC
have so far recovered as to be able to address
the nation from his place in the Senate, on Ih'
all absorbing doctrine Of intervention, but h,
has ceased 10 cherish tha, hope, and does no
now expect 10 enter the scene Of so many con
hicls again. lie takes the position that the Uni
ted States should not accede to the desire o
Kossuth, and so informed The Hungarian. lIis
perhaps, The last time he will have an opponu
uiIy of speaking his sentiments publicly, an,
they should be regarded as dying declarations
10 which great importance should be attached

"LeesburRh Knocking"

From time mmemorial down TO the present,
|, has been the fate Of this world to be cursed
BY humbugs Of various kinds. "Each has
had lis hour to strut upon the stage Of time.
and It's vOiaries to yield !. faith" But hitherto,
time in her onward march, has overturned those
unsubsIan,ial, though often highly wrought "a.
bricS, and we have no doubt that before a re-
turning summers sun shall have shed her re.

that this most shallow Of all that have gone bc.

that have long since been consigned to that tomb
oi Gorge.lulness from which there Is no resur.

shrine a. midnghl's lonely hour, will abandon
il Tor some other mental food, better adapted to
their progressive tastes, and that has not become
stale by their critical experimental investigation.
10 saying what we do in relation to these
" manifestations. we are aware that we are
.rsading on holy ground, so far as its followers
are concerned; that we are dealing with their
only acknowledged God. This great manster-
piece ,ha. is to supplant the only revelation from
God to man; renOvate the world, and to usher
into premature existence the millennium that
we are interfering with 'ha. foundation that they
alone have laid, and upon which they res, their
eternal hopes,and ,hO. we are medIing with their
pseudo spirits, made white BY their excited i'm.

claim as well as they, the right Of investigation.
and whatever we may say Of those "spiritual
manifestations" we know we speak with that
sobre,y and truth that becomes an honest and

the parent stem, bloom in eternal freshness and
beauty. They look upon their family circle bro

that their loved ones, lost in death, sing with
gels in the Paradise Of God. The heart blee1s--
