KossUTH TO THE HUSGARIANs IN AMER
IcA.-New York. June 23.-The Times
this morning publishes a note to the ed
itor from Kossuth, dated London, june
9th, together with an address to the Hun
garian eziles residing in the United States,
in which he warns his exiled fellow coun-
trymen that it is not yet time for them to
move or to attempt to take part in the
war. Grave considerations forbid him
from entering on premature explanations.
Suffice it to say that though the sky is
Frightening prOmisingly, there are yet
great difficulties to overcome. They shall
be duly apprised in time. Amy inconsid-
crate rashness might bring personal ruin
on them, without the slightest advantage
to the public.

OFFICIAL VoTE OF LINN.-The official
vote of Linn County gives the Republican
ticket a majority of 261. The whole
vote was-Republican, SOL; Democrat,
$50.
The Linn Herald says
We are not disposed to glory over our
success in this County, but we have this
much to say-that the Democrats have
but little ground for the soles of their
feet in Southern Kansas. 1t is intimated,
in the Herald of Freedom, that the dele
gates from Bourbon are Free State, and
will hold the balance of power in the
Convention. As to that we do not know;
it is generally conceded here that the del
egates from that County are true RePub-
licans, and cannot be inveigled into the
support of sham Democracy.

The WonD WmrE.-Mueh specula-
ton is aloat, as to whether there will not
be hot time in the Constitutional Con-
ventiOn, with regard to inserting the word
whits in the Bill Of Rights. Some are
very fearful that the Republicans will
oppose its insertion, in order to ieaveroom
for negro votes. We believe the word
will be inserted without serious opposl-
ton. All the Delegates must see, by this
time, that anything squirting towards
negro equality, viii be utterly repudlated
by the people. If the word white Is
omitted. or anything admitted savoring
of negro equality, the Constitution will
be voted down by an overwhelming ma,
iority, and the labors of the Convention
will have been for nought. Public
sentiment is increasing against negro
equality, and persons who favor it, viii
ever find themselves in minority. Tht
Republicans Of the Convention will have
to repuGiate that doctrine, by substantial
acts, or the party will be routed at thu
very next election.
We likewise believe that, if separate
clause were submitted to the people
whether or not free negroes should be al
lowed to settle here, it would be carriet
against free negroes, by large majority
We should vote that way. all the time
For our part, we want no niggers about
