II Business TALENT.-The Newburyport
Herald, in giving an obituary notice of a
young and talented merchant makes the
following truthful remarks reEu a1e2
"Thcre are many among the leading
classes Of politicians and schoolmeh who
are apt to assume to themselves more i'm
portance in the community than belongs
to them, who underrate the necessity and
usefulness Of the successful and energetic
business man. This is not the place to
argue which is the highest order of talent
and which is the most useful to the com
munity. 1t is undeniable, however, that
to conduct large business successfully, for
a number of years, is the raret qualifica-
ton to be found in society. While there
are, no doubt, hundreds Of young men who
have the material out of which are made
patriotic and ardent politicians, claiming
to ascend to the high places of power for
the good of the people, and willing tofserve
their country with most patriotic devotion,
for a share of the loaves and fishes and
i
their own estimation at least, social, moral
and religious reformer, of the first water,
it is doubtful ifthere can be found TEN,
who, giving them all the opportunities and
advantages they should desire, would be
able to do their part in upholding the pc
cuniary resources and the industry of the
community, with coed share of business
ability.
Men may enter into business rccklessly,
with means or credit, obtained by accident,
Inheritance or finesse, and flourish for a
time perhaps by accident, like the gamb.
ler if they retire from the fold when their
pockets are full, secure fortune, and it is
no warrant of ability; but to continue for
a long series Of years in the successful man
agement Of a large business, is proof of
ability, energy, self.denial, and others of
the rarest qualifications possessed by man.

Louis Kossuth.

There seems to be some inquiry con-
cerning Kossuth's whereabouts at this
time. He issupposed to have left London
and is doubtless watching anxiously for an
opportunity to favor Hungary by the an
ticipated collision between the Russians
and Turks. In case of hostilities Kossuth
is bound by every obligation to do what he
can to aid the Sultan. All the friends ol
liberal principles throughout Europe must
be opposed to Russia and those who are
supposed to favor her. Itseems to us that
this feeling among such number of dis
contented and oppressed subjects must
extend hostilities greatly beyond the con-
fines of Turkey.
Such men as Kossuth, Maxzini and
others are looked to in the present crisis
as men whose experience and Judgment
will aid the masses in their efforts to throw
off the heavy burdens that now rest upon
them. No man who has spent his life
under the benign influences of Republi-
can Government, is aware of the baseness
and oppression which most of the Govern
ments in Europe heap upon the people,
Under theR iron sway, millions of people
are less free and independent than are our
Southern slaves. Such humilating
condition calls for relief, and if the people
can once see their way clear, the deep
injuries received and the revenge now
lurking in their bosoms, will urge them to
a bloody conflict which will end only with
the prostratien and total destruction of
their oppressors.
1t is hoped that an opportunity will be
offered for Kossuth to distinguish himself
in this great struggle. His capacity to
direct men in military affairs has been Sc
riously questioned. Much of the blame
concerning the failure of the Hungarians
in their struggle with Austria, has been
attributed to his want of skill and judg-
ment in directing their movements. 1t is
but just to him, however, to say, that the
have come mostly from his
enemies. That Kossuth is superior man,
giant intellect, vast reas oning !
powers and brilliant imagination, no one |
can deny. Some of his speeches contain
the most splendid specimens of oratory
ever delivered. He has been accused of
being more OF patriot tnan pnllantnro-
pist, and of advancing certain opinions in
the United States with a view to ORC rocure
funds for himself We think these accu-
sations base ISLANDERS, and that he has done
nothing to deserve them. On the contrary,
his whole conduct shows that he has
warm heart, deep and Interchangeable love
for Republican principles and the good of
his native land.
Whatever may be the future career of
Louis Kossuth, whether he ever appears
again as prominent man or not, what he
has already accomplished will be no mean
figure in the worlds history. The past,
1t least with him, is secure. AS time rolls
On, his fame will grow brighter and more
enduring, and his speeches will be read
with delight by generations yet unborn.

THE Yrs AND Downs OF PoLITICIANs-An
amusing and instructive volume might be writ
ten upon the ups and downs of politicians.
Martin Van Buren,. and Captain John Tyler, the
lucky, might be very properly placed at the
head Of the interesting catalogue of remarkable
cases. The advent of the present admnistra-
tion, also. turns up some very interesting speci-
mems. We find ex-members Of the House and
ex-members of the Senate of the United States
among the applicants for, and appointments to.
the little subordinate offices of the federal go
yernment. Thus, we find Daniel Sturgeon, for
merly United States Senator of twelve years
standing advanced backwards to the quiet post
of Treasurer of the Mint at Philadelphia; and
B. B. French, formerly Clerk of the House Of
Representatives at Washington, at $4,000 year,
promoted recently to clerkship for signing
annum.
But perhaps the most remarkable case of
the recent curious applications for Office, and
which is still pending on the docket of the
Postmaster General for settlement, is the ap-
pication of Hon. VIM J. Brown, of Indiana,
for the post Of travelling mail agent in the
West Mr. Brown some four years ago, was a
member Of Congress. and o rather prominent
one in his way, and came within one vote of
being elected Speaker of the House Of Repre-
sentatives. But at that point there was
sprung upon the House a charge of collision
against Mr.. Brown, with the free sellers. And
that's the way his fall rose" There was
recol; and Mr.. Brown from that Congress re-
tired to private life. or the next thing to it
the editing of political paper in Indiana.
Now we find him candidate for the modest
post Of mail agent. Rumor, too, has it that
Senators Bright and Petit are pro or con,

take any exception to this gentleman. Under
all the circumstances and considerations re-
shifting in his selection. should he, from any un-
expected caprice or misconcepton on the part
of the Court of Madrid, be refused that gene
rous reception to which he is fairly entitled,
that act will tend, we venture to assert, rather
to the prejudice of Spain than to the discredit
of our minister, or the intentions of the admit
nistration by whom he has been appointed.
But we have no fears ofany such misfortune.
England, France and Spain have had album
dance of proof of the strict integrity Of this
government, and of its policy and intentions in
reference to the broad question of annexation
They have every reason to give full credit to
the professions of this administration and to its
representatives appointed under them Nor
will Spain, in reference to her own pecu-
liar interests, be likely to take any step
which may hazard the existing relations OF
goodwill and friendship subsisting between her
supreme authorities and our government with
out first consulting at least the cabinets of Eng
land and France. In this view, and indepen-

Court and Cabinet and Cortes of Spain. Let
