The N, Y. Express has some remarks up
on the meeting Of Congtess, and contrasts
the growth Of the country now with what II
was when the irst Congress assembled in
that city on the 4th OF March, 1889. The
thirteen States Of that day reverse the fig
ures now, and for thirteen we have thirty
one. The population then was four or FIVE
millions; it is ticenty four or five millions
now. On the first day Of the first session Of
the first Congress, in the United States Sem
ate, but eight members were present; two
from New Hampshire; John Langdon and
Paine Wingate; from Massachusetts,. Caleb
Strong; from Connecticut, VIM s. Johnston
and Oliver Ellsworth; from Pennsylvania,
w. Maclay and Robert Morris; from Geor-
gia, VIM. Few. The country since then
has grown with colossal strides. By treaty
and conquest il has obtained fer more. than
its original territory. The eastern and wes-
tern oceans now make part of its bounda-
ries. The population Of the country has
lquintupled, and the Congress OF little
more than score or more OF men with
small constituencies, shows correspond
ing increase in members. Now single States
count their population by millions, and
members Of Congress for example, in some
cases represent between one and two hun.
died thousand people.

A Great Triumph.

Several -four exchanges are pleased to con-
slider the mission Of Kossuth to this country
grand failure, and seem to take particular
delight in promulgating that idea. One even
goes SO far as 10 describe the failure as "great
triumph We have no objection to what
these prints may say to their readers on this
point. The patrons Of such sheets must hold
them responsible for the truth Of their asser-
tons. Kossuth's mission to this country, as
we understand it, was as follows:-to express
his heartfelt thanks to our Government for
the aid which it had rendered him and his
companions in procuring their release from
exile to procure money and means for the
fuftherance Of his project TO free down trod-
den Hungary, his fatherland, and to procure
the assertion by our government the right OF
every nation to settle its own domestic con-
Germs without interference from any. Very
simple, truly. First, 10 express thanks, as
he was in duty bound; secondly, to procure
the means tofurther noble cause and thnd-
ly, to procure the assertion of just princi'
pie from free and independent government
Nothing very dangerous about these OBJ
jects--yet, there failure is considered "greaI
triumph" But. has Kossulh failed in his
mission He has been here but short time
,and has accomplished one of his objects, is
succeeding in the second, and we doubt moi
will ultimately succeed in the third. The
principle OF non-interventlon is correct; ant
in all the opposition with which it has met
no one yet has dared to say it was not just
Kossuth may not live to see the principle
generally maintained BY the great nations Of
the earth, but thatit wiA be, we have the full.
est confidence to believe.

The Massillonians are having time with
the Spirits. A Medium attending church,
like other people, was accompanied Of course
by her guardian Spirits who, when the preach
er said anything they could conscientiously
assent 10, did SO in the only way that Spirits
could do, which was by knocking"
A Methodist would have shouted "Amenp'
but these spirits could only gently rap. Not
withstanding, the preacher was annoyed and
requested the Spirits to "Stop that knock
ing~ But the more he requested the louder
they raped, and it came near breaking up
the meeting in row.
Next day the medium, Miss Abby War
ner, was sued for disturbing the meeting and
tie case is now being tried before Justice.
Of course the Plaintiffs, lie. the church, have
got 10 prove that something beside Spirits
OF invisible agencies produced the raps.--
When the church does that, it will have ac-
complished a great and good work. Plain

The Muskingum County Democratic Con-
vention, held on the 1st inst, passed a reso-
luton recommending the pioneer, States
man and former citizen Of that county, Gen.
Lewis Cass, as candidate for the mex,
Presidency.
The Democracy of Belmont county, in
Convention, also passed similar resolution.
The Morrow county Democratic Conven-
tion, which met at Mt. Gilead, on the 9th
ult., passed the following resolution
RESOLVED, Unanimously, that the dele
gates from Morrow county, are hereby in
s.ructed to cast their votes in The State Con-
vention, for the Hon. WIN. ALLEN, as the
first choice Of Morrow county, for the Chief
Magistacy Of the United States, should said
convention decide on designating candi-
date.
The Knox county Democratic meeting,
held at Mt. Vernon on the 9th ult., unani-
mously adopted the following, among a Sc
ries OF resolutions:
Resolpcd, That without disparaging the
claims Of the other distinguished aspirants
for the Presidency to the highest admiration
of the Americn Democracy, we freely and
ielr!ess!y proclaim, in view of the impor-
tance of our foreign relations, and the i'm
pending struggle between the true friends Of
republicansm and the crumbling dynasties
of the old world for the ascendency, the
Hon. VIM. Allen to be pre-eminently quail
ifed to preside over the destinies of this
Republic, and our first choice for the Presi-
dency in 1852.
Resolucd, That the Delegates elect from
this county 10 the State Convention, be, and
they are hereby instructed to vote for D -le-
gates from this State to the Democratic Ma
lional Convention, who are friendly 10, and
will support the nomination of the Hon
VIM. Allen fol the Presidency.
The Democracy Of Fairfield county, al
their Convention on the Goth ult., adopted
the following resolution:
Reoolued, That while we entertain the
highest admiration for the distinguished
abilities and sound democracy of the other
individuals whose names have been mention
ed in connection with the Presidency By the
Democratic press, we freely declare the
Hon. WIN. Allen TO be our first choice as
the candidate of The Democracy, in the
campaign Of 1852.
The Ohio Patriot noticing the iudica-
tions in this State in two or three quarters
favorable to Gen. Huston for the Presidpn.
cy, says:
1t is not probable, however, that the Ohio
friends Of that deserving statesman, will
press his nomination 10 the disadvantage o.
their own distinguished and meritorious fel
low citizen, Col. Allen. In fact, the signs
throughout the Stale, indicate a general dis
position 10 concentrate upon him the full
vete of Ohio.
1t is now generally conceded that Mr.
Allen will receive the vote OF Ohio in the
National Convention, and should he be
nominated for the Presidency, there is ne
man in the Union who would receive {
more cordial support from the Democracy o
the Buckeye State. The movements among
the masses favorable TO him are general ant
decided.

State Of France--Alarm in England.
= The New York Tribune gives the follow
ing extract from private letter, dated De.
cember II, from an American gentleman now
in London
81 heard day before yesterday from Lord
Clarence Paget, the Dir ctor of the Ordinance,
that Government Messenger had arrived
from Paris saying that there had been 5000
killed instead of 300 as stated, and that the
majority were innocent persons, who had ta-
ken no part in the revolution. Another gen.
tleman who has arrived from Paris, an Eng
lis man who has resided there, says that IL
shots were fired out of one house in block,
cannon were fired into the whole block, and
the soldiers then rushed in and bayonetted in
discriminatory all within. This gentleman
says he escaped from one Of these block Of
houses, but that his clerk and wife were killed
by the bayonets Of the soldiers. Ialso learn
ed through Lord Paget that the British Gov
ernmpntare a good deal alarmed Of the sup
positions that Louis Napoleon will mite with
Austria and Russia to put down Englandand
Liberty in Europe, and that the Government
dockyards are alive with as many men as can
get around the ships getting them ready for

Mathametical Question.

A respected correspondent, one who has
himself been taacher Of some nole, sends
in the following question. 1t is accompan-
led by some just remarks on the value and
Importance Of readiness in solving mathe.
malical problems and the stimulus which
such questions affordsto the exercise Of skill.
If 10 men, in 20 hours, can dig 40 cubic
yards of earth, how many men, who are
stronger in the proportion of 5 tod, will it
require TO dig 60 yards in as hours, allowing
the earth in the latter case to be harder than
in the former, in the ratio of 9 to8, and that
the labor Of digging is directly proportional
10 the hardness Of the earth?
% ParLoMATH.
We hope some of our calculators will send
in an answer, showing the process of soIu-
ton.

Non.Intervention.

Not single print that we have seen, has
questioned the justice of Non-intervention,
the only objection seeming TO be that the
declaration of that principle by our govern
ment might, from the indications of move
ments in Europe, draw this country into a
war. While we should deeply regret any
such result as that, we nevertheless are of
opinion that a government founded on "eeual
rights" should defend that principle on all
and every occasion. II the U. States do not
assert and maintain the principle Of non-in-
tervention what nation on earth will? Not
one. This country must take the lead, or
freedom in Europe may be forever crushed. =
But are we bound to 60 to war should the
principle OF non-intevention be violated af.
ter its acknowledgement by our Government
We answer, emphatically, no AS the OBJ
lection to proclaiming non-intervention as
principle ofinter-national law, is that such
an act might give offence to the Car, it re-
solves itself into mere matter Of policy
Of erpsdicncy, if you please. So, should the
principle be violated when declared, we
might 80 to war, or we might moi, governing
our policy by the voice Of The people, which
would resolve that question also into one of
eaPedlency. lfwar was not determined up
on our solemn protest against Intervention

taciily acknowledge the most unrighteous
actsof Russia IN the late Hungarian struggle

FRANcE.-The Bishop of Strasburg had ad-
dressed q letter 10 the clergy of his diocese,
urging them to vote in the affirmative. M.

meeting Of the printers of Paris, and in
formed them that the intention of the Gov
eminent was to prohibit the publication, .un-

A definite majority Of 7,000,00 is expected

Gen. Cavaignac arrived in Paris on Satur-
day, having been libarated that day, and, as
the election is now over, the President thinks
he cannow liberate other generals, and it was
currently reported that they were to be set at
liberty. Napoleon is determined in making
some experiments in the protection system.
At Vienna, notes complaining Of the dan
gerous support given to political refugees in
England, were presented to the English Min
lister, by the representation of Russia, and of
the Austrian and German considerations; a
similar note was handed in to Lord Crowly
at Frankfort, all declaring that they will not
hesitate to adopt measures which will make
it inconvenient for Englishmen to travel in
the Austrian States. so long as the complaints
of the Imperial Government are not attend
ed to in London, as there is an organized
communication between the revolutionary
party in England, and those in all the Con-
tinental States, carried on under the protec-
ton of the laws.
A considerable sum of money, which had

tsTruth, why Not 80

Or does the editor of the Dispatch think Of
the Theatre as he writes of the liquor ques-
ton, that il should he made honorable by the
sanction of the law, and then while the law
is sustaining it only moral suasion is 10 be
used against it?
The above is an extract from communi-
cation which appeared in the Tribune & Clip
per of the 7th inst, signed "Pulpitum" =
We understand the author Of that article to
be Reuersnd gentleman-"an humble fol-
lower of the meek and lowly Jesus" and, as
such, whatever he says is entitled 10 conside-
ration. The reason why the opinions of a
minister are entitled to respect, is because
they are supposed TO be, and generally are,
founded upon correct principles land whatev-
ever he may say is taken by many without
a why or wherefore" as perfectly in accord
ance with truth and justice. We are sorry
that the Rev. alluded to, therefore, has so far
forgotten the duty he owes to God, his pro-
lession and himself, as 10 utter the above
gross misrepresentation OF Our sentiments.---
Had he been as anxious to treat fairly our ar
ticle as he was 10 defend his brother co-work-
er he could easily have ascertained that we
have never advocated making any business
honorable by lao, but, on the contrary, that
we have uniformly been decided opponent
of special privileges Of every kind, and, we
venture 10 say, the gentleman has never seen
anything in our paper from which such a con-
clusion as lie comes TO could even be infer
red, We never advocated law TO license
the sale OF liquors, but, while the New Con-
stitution was before the people, we frequent
ly wrote in favor of the clause in that instru-
ment which did away with the license sys.
tenn, and were rejoiced when that clause was
adopted by the sovereign voice of the people.
Unless the Rev. gentleman procure license
to make small-fry Misrepresentation, we
trust that whatever he may say hereafter will
be strictly in accordance with truth.
