boiling the downfall of the United States with tho

to all abolitionists.
Like the religion Of Mahonet, Kossuthism is a
propagandism. This is its grand essential element.
Mahomet made his conquests with the Koran in one
hand and seimitar in the other Kossuth will
head his legions with sword in hand and

in Abraham's bosom, before HIS vast design Of
revoutionizng two worlds is completely accom-
plished, his adherents will increase and multiply in
wonderful manner after his death, in the cases
both Of the Arabian and Mormon prophets. It was
after the death Of Mahomet shat his followers
pushed their conquests, and Syria, Persia, Egypt,
and other countries in succession, submitted to their
arms. The prophet dead had a more powerful in
1uence than the prophet living In the Instance Of
Joe Smith, the progress of his sect gained new
and tremendous impetus by his martyrdom. If

deeper mark behind him on the world. But, how
ever this may be, we have doubt that before ten
years, anew Utah Of Latter Day Saints will arise
in the West, and q second New Jerusalem built
J by tho followers Of Louis kossuth. There is in
many points a remarkable resemblance between
these three prophets. Mahomet, we are told 9 was
distinguished for the beauty Of his person, and was
highly recommended by natural oratory, by which
he was enabled to exercise great influence over the
passions and affections Of men. His intellectual en-
dowmcnts were also Distinguishing. His memory
was capacious and retcntive his wit easy bis magi-
nation subiimc his Judgment clear, rapid, and de-
cisiye. Yet with all these advantages he was an
illitorate barbarian and, in his compositions, he
was obliged to depend upon the assistance of others
Joe Smith was equally illiteratc, but possessed
great natural eloquence We are told by a writer
Of his life, that 'sJoc Smith was as brave as lion

prophet correspond with those of his two prcdeces-

EMIGRATION to CALIFORNIA AND AUSTRALIA
The gold regions Of California have not lost any Of
the great attraction which caused such tremendous
| excitement and produced such a rush thither in
the carly days Of the gold fever. Time has not di
minished the passion which then led to such an ex-
traorduary emigration to the shores Of the Pacific,
though. perhaps, the excitement is less remarkable
now. The steam lines established between the At
lanc and Pacific coasts prospecting 70 an extent,

that leave this port, weekly, are filed with passcn-
gers, bound to San Francisco, the numbers of whom
probably reach. in the aggregate, twelve hundred

most extensive commercial movements, which are
gradually producing a complete change and revolt
