KOSSUTH AGAIN AT SPRINGFIELD.
SPRINGFIELD, Mass, April Is, 1852.
HIS arrival from Northampton, and Reception BY
the State Committee-His Dinner and Departure
-Pickpockets after Rossuh- The Ripping Spirits
IN Springfield.
Kossuth arrived from Northampton at halfpas
eleven o'clock this forenoon, and was received st
the railroad depot upon platform erected there fsr
the purpose by the committee Of the State Legsla-
ture, headed by General Wilson, President u the
Senate, who wore tricolor Yosette in his breast.
He addressed Kossuth at considerable length, and
welcomed him rs the champion of Hungary. Phe
people Of Massachusetts,, he said had watched the
struggle Of that nation with deep interest and with
admiration; and whom, by the combined treason
Of GeOrgey and the treachery Of the Gar Hungary
fell the people Of Massachusetts felt, as they now
feel, that Russia had outraged the law Of nations
But all is not lost. Strong the impulses Of
liberty and the prayer Of Massachusetts, is that the
day may arrive when Hungary will take her
position among the nations Of the earth. He vel
coined KOssuth with oil his soul
KOssUrH then rcpliedin low tone Of voice scarcely
audible. He said he hoped to God, with all the
meaning Of those eloquent words the gentleman had
spoken, That they would give assurance to his conn
try for the restoration of its lost freedom and indie
pendence. This hope and confidence of his rested
upon the generous character of tho people of hassa
chusetts. He begged leave to return to the State
Committee his sincere thanks for the kind and very
obligng way in which they welcomed the poor exile,

would be greatly embarrassed by this reception If he
found himself to belts object, personally, and not
manifestation of sympathy for the principles Of the
cause of his country That cause could not be matter
ofindiherence to the people of Massachusetts,; and
he therefore accepted these honors. He felt proud
to be their guest and would feel happy to cross UNI
der their guidance the soil OF the old Bay State, the
classical land of American independence
Kossuth then shook hands with General Wilson,
and introduced to the aides of the Governor Of
the State, one Of whom, Col. Williams, then ad-
dressed him to the following effect BY the order
OF the Governor otthc State, am instructed to well
you in his name, and to inform you of the pre-
paratons he has made to receive you. On your ar
rival mt Boston you will DO met by company Of v0-
lunteers, when you will be conducted to the State
House, where the Governor will officially receive
you In order that you may understand our militia
system, tomorrow afternoon the Governor will in
vitc you to review the troops Permit me to tender
you my heartfelt congratulations.
Kossuth then withdrew in company with the
committee and proceeded to the Massasoit House,
where he is to dine privately, as their guest, and
some local friends OF the cawse are invited to meet
him. At hali-past three o'clock he leaves in spe-
cal train, for Worcester where he is to have a pub
lie reception this evening.
Fiom the above it will be seen that the Massa-
chusetts Legislature are going to do the thing up
brown-and quite differently from the Legislature
and Governor of the State Of New Jersey Yet
there is GOODNESS and foimaty AVID pompous stiff
ness IN these preliminary proceedings, which show
that they are hollow, and do not mean anything
h,,tv 49,
trays his misgvings
The Springfield Republican of this morning has
the following itcm-
Two robberes were committed in the church,
during the speech of kossuth, by pickpockets who
follow in his train. Silns Cook, carpenter, Of this
city, was robbed of $500, aud but for his having
paid out 800 on the previous day, would have been
robbed OF vi 900. Another man. named Skies,
robbed $50. During the morning, dispatch
ceiycd from Henry Tannnt, of Meriden, CT, stating
that there were pckpockets on the train with Kos
who had robbed him of $50"
The subjoined appears in the other paper
:" The young ladies' Of Springfield will hold fes-
tiral ut Foots Hall, on Tuesday evening, the 9th
inst, for the benefit of the Hungarian cause. Per-
sons wishing to contribute refreshments, or other
articles, will please send them to the hall tomorrow
(lncsday) in the forenoon, or early in the after
noon.'
II appears lady from Nantucket has presented
hossuth with purse containg upwards of 500,
which had been collected in that town
] said, in "A letter u day or two ago that this was
the hot bed Of fanaticism. As one proof of it |
may mention the fact that the spiritual rappngs
have taken such hold here that regular society
OF adhecnts is formed and they hold their meetings
or orgies on Sunday evenings, at a large hall on the
Hill. There are 40 mediums Of the spirits, and
some OF the most refined and educated people in the
city belong to them--including nearly all the doc
tors Such is the extent to which the deluson is
carried that lectures delivered which are de-
~. ~ 10 be M1itten by the Invisible hands OF the
spirits; but which are SHOWN to be composed by an
ignorant man employed in the Amory, who is too
ignorant to read his own writing to the audience
They also pretend that the spirits produce light
Last night the lights were oil put out. All that
was carried on in the dark cannot tell you. But
there was large bell that appeared to move about
through air as If by supernatural agency ring
ing all the time, and illuminated by some light, the
of which the audience could not discover 70
was, probably, phosphorus. Numbers of grave and
sensb men and women here believe in these ridicu-
lons absurdties and is it any wonder that they be.
lieve in the doctrines Of Kossuth!
