To Me Editor Of The BHgle Kossuth left this
place on the 2Gth of February, for indianapolis
by way of Madison. sec by the papers that
he was cordially received at the Capitol Of In
diana and formally presented to the Lcgisla-
ture. A Committee, ofwhich the Lieut.. Gov
crnor Of Indiana was Chairman, came to this
place to escort him to that State. by the last
accounts he was at Louisville on his way to st.
Louis, and was received with real enthusiasm,
at the former place. Ii we arc 20 believe the
Louisville journal, the people of that city were
rot fairly represented by their City Council, but
are warmly in favor of the cause of Hungarian
Freedom, and Of tho proposals of Kossuth, and
will give him "matcrial aid" Before he left US
he visited (altcr urgent solictations) our neigh.
bors Covington and Newport, Kentucky, where
he was warmly welcomed, and made speech
in each place. The citizens Of both places
seemed to partakc in the general enthusiasm
felt towards Kossuth on our side of tho river.
Before leaving us, Kossuth published brief
address to thcpcoplo of Ohio, (or which you
may find room) thanking them for the very cor

learn that tho amount received by him in this
State was upwnds of $4,000, Of which about
two.thirds was given in this city. Had his pro-
positions, and his doctrine in respect 10 inter-
vcntion, not been looked upon coldly, and dis
couragcd by the Conservative Press, and politi-
clans from President Fillmore down, he would
have received much moro, from men whose
means enable them, if disposed, to give large
sums. lie may not receive as much money to
aid his cause in this country as he anticipated
owing to the cautious policy of the conscrva-
tivcs of all parties, and the honest scpes Of tho
true friends of freedom irrespective of country,
race, caste or color, who are generally peace men
and fear encouraging the war spirit, which is at
all times too rampant and easily aroused. but
in his tour through this country, he cannot but
have observed the outhursts Of genuine feeling
in behalf of constitutional freedom among the
masses of the people and the high respect cx-
hibitcd to himself personally as one who had
distinguished himself in the struggle o.ainst
Absoludsm in Europe. Certainly 20 indiyi-
dual, no cause ever before called out such i'm
mcnsc numbers of the people here, even at the
time of our most excite political campaigns, as
assembled to sec ard hear the great Hungarian.

Of Till passing the Legislature for tho erection
of two now Luna;ic Asylums. It is generally
understood that one is to Lo built ut this place,
