The Censorship Of the Press.

We invite the attention of Congress, Of the
press, of the people of the United States and of
the civilized world to the memorial of Messrs.
Duff Green and Ben. E. Green which was pre-
scented to Congress to-day, and which we this day
lay before our readers. The public will be
startled by the extraordinary coincidence between
Mr.. Webster's proclamation and Louis Napoleon's
decree establishing a censorship of the press in
France In France, to comment unfavoraby on
the proceedings of the usurper is to be punished
by fine and Imprisonment So Mr.. Webster
would punish by heavy fines and severe imprison-
ment any one who dares to interfere with any
private speculation of any of his clients parti-
sans, which may have been embraced in any ne
gotiation which he may have set on foot in their
behalf-whether it be contract by b. C. Clark
& Co., of Boston, to furnish Souluque, the black
despot of Hayt, with ships, cannon, and NUM-
tons of war, to enable him to wage most brutal
and exterminating war on the whites OF the Do
minican republic, or the private speculation in
Mexico of his friends the rich London bankers,
or of his clients and proteges who have absorbed
so large part of the Mexican indemnity. we
foresee that this memorial and the measures to
which il refers will occupy much of the public
attention, embracing as they do questions involv-
ing the fundamental principles of civil liberty
and, believing that they must necessarily bring
out the ablest debaters in Congress reviv-
ing the elementary questions of '98 and 80,
in which the eloquent and patriotic young
statesmen who constitute the strength and
influence of the present House of Represent
tatives must take part-we intend to keep in type
the memorials to the President and to Congress
published yesterday and to-day, that they may
be published with and accompany such speeches
Us the occasion may call forth. Under this ar.
rangement the speeches and memorials will be
furnished to the members at the lowest possible
rate.

Senator stockton.

Extract of a letter to a gentleman of Trenton,
N. j., dated
"WAsHINGToN, January 0, 1852.
81 may well congratulate you on the elevated
position taken by your Senator, Commodore Stock
TONI We knew him as an officer in the navy
that as captain he induced the African king TO
cede the lands on which our colony of Liberia is
now placed-and that as commodore he added
the wealth of California to our national resources
We knew that he was an enlightened, valiant, and
popular officer, but we did not know him rs a
statesman. In the short space of one month he
has taken position with the first of our orators
and statesmen. His remarks the Kossuth rcso-
lutions called forth response from the hearts of
q whole people; and now his browning effort-his
plea in behalf of the American saiors-will com
mand the respect and esteem of all who can read
it. In eloquence force, and true American feel
ing, it has few equals; and if he had done nothing
more than make this speech, he would go down to
after ages as the sailors friend Extracts should
be copied into our school-books our boys should
be taught to repeat them by rote, that the
earliest impressions may be deeply imbued with
his manly sympathy and elevated and patriotic
sentiments. True american.

Kossuth In MARYLAND.

In the Maryland House Of Delegates resolu-
ton of welcome to Kossuth was passed, and the
following, offered by Mr.. Keaney, of Baltimore,
was appended to it by vote of SO to Is, viz:
That while this body concur in the resolu-
tons of invitation extended to Louis Kossuth to
visit this house, we, the representatives of the
people of Maryland, do most emphatically disa-
VOW the doctrine Of intervention, and do earn
estly recommend to the people of this State the
policy heretofore pursued by the general govern
ment in relation to the domestic contentious of
foreign nations"
We think the dazzle and glare of the new pro-
position SO eloquently presented to us by the dis
tinguished Hungarian is passing away from be-
fore the vision of our people, and that, while
.'peace on earth and good will to men, will
continue to be regarded as the true policy of our
country, we will do better for the human race in
preserving an asylum for the oppressed than in
fighting in quarrels not our own, and thus betray-
ing the great trust committed to our keeping.

If there be a man who is not to be envied, that
man is Louis Napoleon. A self-convicted per-
jurer an attained traitor, conspirator success
full by the foulest treachery-the purchase of the
soldiery and the butchery of thousands--he must
if not cut short in his career go all the lengths Of
tyranny. For him there is no halt, no element of
either stability or progress. 1t is hopeless and
absolute anachronism. The presidential chair or
the imperial throne is set upon a crater-the
steps are slippery with blood-and the darkening
steam of smouldering hatred, conspiracy, and
vengeance is exhaling round it. Each party can
furnish its contingents for tyrannicide; the as
sassn dogs him in the street; and even Mt the
balls or banquets of the Elys6e he may find the
fate of Gustavus. He who has been false to all
must only look for falsehood, and is doomed to
daily and to nightly fears of mutinies, insurrec-
ton, and revenge. Conscience cannot be alto
gether stifed, and will sometimes obtrude, in her
horrible phantasmagoria, the CHASTITY corpses Of
the oulevards.-London Times.

The Inauguration of Gov. Wood took place in
the Hall of the House of Representatives to-day.
In his inaugural address he expresses himself in

for their repeal. They should have fair trial.

ANOTHER ISTERoCEANIC PRoJEcT.-The New

in New York to undertake in earnest the con-
struction of canal to connect the Atlantic with
the Pacific by new and more southern route.
The company is styled the Atrato Interoceanic
Canal Company. The Atrato route is the most
southern of those proposed for water communi-
cation between the two oceans. 1t commences ut
the very root of the isthmus, where the bay of
Uraba opens the way into the mouth of the Atrato.
This is n fine stream, about 100 miles i'll length
with very straight course and gentle current
and n depth of seven to twelve feet, according to
the season. 1t rises in a swamp, which, on the
southwest, sends out the San Juan, whose course
for about sixty miles brings it to the Pacific, and
where it forms one of the finest harbors known

1t is reported from Washington that our gov
eminent has sent instructions to MIR. Rives to
recognise Louis Napoleon's government as the
government of France. If this report be true,
we think our government has been in too much
haste. Louis Napoleon had not, at latest advi-
ccs, consolidated his despotism. True, it was
stated that majority Of votes had been announced
in favor of the propositions made in his treason
able proclamation of the I'd December but no
constitution, no form of government had been
declared When some definite form of govern
ment has been established in France and the
peoples acquiescence in it ascertaned, then will
our government be justified in recognising it, no
matter whatits character but over-haste in recog-
nising usurpation is not becoming, nor is it in
accordance with the wishes and sentiments of the
people of the United States.--N \. Sun.

Kossuths companions are not as discreet as

though Kossuth himself is not to be blamed for

that foreigners, just landed on our shores and to
whom asylum from oppression has been given,
should begin to talk about our compromise laws
the extraditon of our slaves, and reform in our
land laws. There is degree of impertinence in
this proceeding which will, most assuredly, be
resisted by the intelligent people of this country.

English Reverence for Rank.

Americans who have never been in London,
nor had an opportunity of perusing English news
papers, cannot conceive to what extent SER
Witty to rank is carried in Great Britain. A
tradesman, no matter how intelligent he may be,
never thinks of taking an order from nobeman
unless cringing, and hat in hand. A son Of an
English lord talks to his tailor or wine merchant
in n strain that an American would not employ
to boot-black. The newspapers which here
record the acts only of great public characters,
are filled there with notices of the noblity's daily
proceedings. One journal now before us gravely
informs its readers that Lady Role is entertain
ing distinguished party at her seat, in Devon ;
that Viscount and Viscountess Enfield have ar
rived in Eaton Square, from Bedfordshire; that
Lord Bottoms brother is about to marry Arabela
Georgiana Peirse; and that on Saturday, the
Queen, Prince Albert and the royal children
walked in the home-park at Windsor. 1t is true
that all such notices, except those referring to
royalty, are inserted by the parties thus made
notorious. But that the public mind endures
such things at all, is proof Of u vitiated state of
opinion. The fact is reconclable only with a
worship of rank as disgraceful as it is deep
rooted More than one attempt has been made,
we are sorry to say, among fashionables here, to
initiate this custom of g chronicling small beer;'
but public sentiment has invariably frowned it
down. England, before she can become fit for n
republic, must get rid of this slavish reverence
for rank-Ihlddelphid Sun.
