thank God that my country's unmerited
woe, and my personal suiferings, became an
opportunity to seek manifestation of the
spirit and principles ofyour Republic.
May God the Almighty bless you with a
long life, that you may long enjoy the hoppi-
ness to see your country great, glorious, and
free, the cornerstone Of international justice,
and the column of freedom on the earth, as
it is already an asylum to the oppressed.
Sir, pledge to your country the evcrlast-
ing gratitude of Hungary
The President replied, briefly, TO NJ. Kos
suth's address in substance as follows:
l am happy, Governar Kossuth, to well
come YOU to this land of freedom; and it
gives me pleasure to congratulate you upon
your release from long confinement in
Turkey, and your safe arrival here. As an
individual l sympathized deeply with you
in your brave struggle for The independence
and freedom of your native land. The
American people can never be Indifferent TO
such contest, but our policy as a nation in
this respect has been uniform from the COM
mencement of our Government; and my
own views, as the Chief Executive Magis-
trate of this nation, are fully and freely eX-
pressed in my recent message TO Congress,
to which you have been pleased to allude.-
They are the same, whether speaking TO
Congress here, or to the nations of Europe.
Should your country be restored to in
dependence and freedom, | should then wish
you-as the greatest blessing you could en-
joy-a restoration to your native land; but,
should that never happen, I can only repeat
welcome to you and your companions here,
and pray that Gods blessing may rest upon
you wherever your lot may be cast.
NJ. Kossuth and the President then en-
tered into conversation in regard 10 the
present condition of Hungary and the gen.
eral politics Of Europe; the interview being
conducted with mutual cordially andfriend-
illness. At its close, NJ. Kossuth, with
Messrs. Shields and Seward, returned to

Hedging.

We make the following extract from the
Patent Office Report, for l85O-5l, just pub
lished. Speaking of the Usage Orange, the
writer says: 1T is extremely hard and
poisonously bitter to any animal that at
tcmpts TO feed upon and although;
somewhat sensitive OF severe winter frosts,
will succeed well as a hedge as far north as
the peach and Isabella grape will mature
their fruits, and it is so profusely set with
sharp thorns as to form most terrific bar
rier. The only objection to a hedge is the
time required for its growth. Its advanta-
ges are thus summed up by one Of our dis
distinguished writers: 1T is like an impreg-
nable fortress, neither to be scaled, broken
through, nor climbed over. Fowls will not
fly over it, because they fear to alight upon
its top; and men and beasts are not likely
to make more than one attempt to force its
green walls. 1t shows fair and leafy shield
10 its antagonist, but it has thousands ofcon.
