The position of the United States, as com
municated to the Minister at Berlin, for the in
| formation of the Prussian Government, is, that
native born Prussians, naturalized In the Uni
ted States, and returning to the country of their
birth, are not liable to any duties or penalties
except such as rcere eriStfng at the period Of
their emigration.
"If at that time they soere IN the army, or act
udlly called into al, such emigration and natu-
ralization do not exempt them from the legal
penalty which they incurred by their desertion
bat this penalty may be enforced against them
tvhenerer they shall voluntarily place themselves
lcithin the local jurisdiction Of their rQtipe conn
try, and shall be proceeded against according to
lac"
This is entirely consistent with the letter to
Mr.. lie Clerc. 1t would not be complimentary
TO General Cass to assume the contrary. In
that letter, as will be seen above, he says that
"the French Government claims military SER
rice from all ndtiUes of France aoho may be
found acithin its .j,risdictionr
The laws of Austria, Prussia, and other Ger
man States, are equally comprehensive in their
demands, so that all naturalized citizens of the
United States, who were born in France or
Germany, are, on revisiting their native lands,
subject to CONSUMPTION, unless it be the com
paratiyely few Germans who had served seven
years before coming to this country
Such is the concession made by the sham
Democratic Administration to the despots of
Europe; and there can be no recall of their
degrading admission, while the men who made
it, or the party which elected them, remain in

THE RESULT IN VIRGINIA.

The majority for Mr. Letcher, the candidate
of the Sham Democracy, will be about $500.
The election took place three weeks ago, and
yet several of the counties remain to be heard
from.
1t is now generally conceded by all parties
that Mr.. l.. owes his election to his Free-Soil
antecedents. A comparison of the recent vote
with that of former years shows that Mr.. Letcher
has gained relatively in the non-slaveholding
counties, and lost in the large slaveholding.
Mr. Goggin, his opponent was successful in
demonstrating his own devotion to Slavery, and
at the same time in throwing suspicion upon
the soundness of his opponent.
The result will teach an important lesson to
both parties. In future contests they will be
less anxious to court the slave interest, and
more respectful towards the opponents of the
system.

KOsSUTH's GREAT SPEECH.

We have been so impressed by the perusal of
the great speech of NJ. Kossuth in London, that,
at the sacrifice of our usual variety on the out
side ofthe Era, have thought fit to lay it before
our readers. No one who wishes to understand
the position of affairs in Europe, and the causes
which have led to the war, should fail to read
it. Though uttered by a foreigner, who ac-
quired knowledge of our language after he
had attained to middle age, it is a model of
racy and eloquent off hand English. There
are few men in Great Britain or in America
who could have appealed more successfully, in
the same cause, to an English-speaking audi
ence. What, then, must be the resources of
mind which can play with such wonderful sue
cess upon the passions Of a foreign race
through the medium of their mother tongue
The London Times and kindred spirits in
this country will in vain attempt to parry the
force of this great speech. It's shafts, though
winged with irony and wit, will fall harmless at
the feet of the great orator, who speaks in the
name of liberty and humanity. His eloquent
and truthful words will find a response in the
hearts of the people in two hemispheres, and
its effect must be to deepen the interest which
men of liberal minds are prone to take in the
cause of Italian as well as Hungarian indie
pendence. His object is not to apologize for
Louis Napoleon but it would have been highly
absurd in him to assail the French Emperor,
when his policy tends to facilitate the achieve
ment of the great ends for which the patriots of
Europe are struggling. sIf the despots fall to
fighting, it is wisdom in the people to use one
of them for the overthrow of another; and, be-
yond all dispute, the Austrian despotism is the
worse of the two.
Louis Napoleon overthrow the Republic of
which the people made him President by VIC
lence, and thereby incurred the adherence of
all true friends of freedom; but at any rate, it
can be said for him that the people ratified the
deed, and that he reigns over one homogeneous
people. The Austrian Emperor, on the contrary,
reigns, by dint of brute force, over dozen diff:
ferent nationalties, every one of which groans
under his hated tyranny. He granted to his
subjects liberal institutions in lS48, in order to
save his crown, which was threatened by rev.
dictionary outbreak; he took an oath to main
tain the new order of things, and the next year
resumed his despotc sway, without scruple.
He thus adds perjury to his black catalogue of
crimes.

TIE SLAVE TRADE.

The proposition to reopen the African slave
trade is daily growing in popularity in the
South. Public meetings are held, and resolu-
tons adopted, denouncing the laws which for
hid the traffic, in unmessured terms. W. L.
Yancey, of Alabama, bold and able man, who
was some years ago in Congress, is out for it.
Senator Brown, of Mississippi, apologies for it;
and although protesting TO oppose it, he adroit-
II, ike Governor Wise, satisfies those who favor
1t by declaring in favor of repeating the laws
which prohibit it.
Amid this general detection, it is highly hon
orable to the Secretary Of the Interior, Mr..
Thompson, Mississippian, that during his re-
cent visit to North Carolina, he denounced the
proposition in round terms, on moral as well as
political grounds.

OF PROGRESSIVE FRIENDS.

The seventh anniversary of this religious so
ciety was held at Longwood, Chester county,
on the 29th, goth, and 3lth ult., and lst and
I'd inst. More than one hour before the time
appointed to meet, the building erected by the
Progressive Friends was filled to its utmost ca
pacity. AT ten o'clock, it was estimated six
thousand persons were upon the grounds, una
bic to press themselves into the building. The
exercises were commenced by j. A. Dugdale
offering prayer, and was followed by Oliver
Johnson, of New York, in some capital re
marks. Rev. Thomas w. Higginson was then
introduced, and spoke beautifully Of the reform
atory principles of the Society, which consist
in doing some substantial good to the commu-
nifty, abjuring creeds and sectarianism, prefer
ring words of charity and love. MIR. Higginson
was followed by venerable minister from
Ohio, G. NJ. Cooper of New York State, and
John Beeson of Oregon. Those outside the
building were addressed by j. A. Dugdale,
Rowland johnson, and Edwin II. Coates, who
gave close attention.
Epistles were read from kindred yearly meet
ings also letters from Rev. A. d. Mayo, M. d.

Washington, June 1.-THE ordering of a
more efficient naval force to the African coast
was not in consequence of any late complaint
by the British Government. Ii was long ago
contemplated, but until recently there was no
vessels which could be used for that purpose
So far as our Government is aware no new or.

in connection with the treaty STIMULATING for the
suppression of the slave trade on the coast of

There is nothing in recently received letters
to distinguished gentlemen in Washington,
which affords any ground for the belief that
England will become involved in the present
war in Europe,
1t is understood that the Cabinet today
finally acted on the document they have for sew

upon the President yesterday afternoon, and
presented him with a copy of Ingraham's

and commented upon the beauty Of the book,
slyly limited at the comeliness of the fair donors

of our forces for that purpose.

these discussions among the Black Democracy;
and it is an interesting feature in the dispute,
that the factions are daily diverging farther
asunder. The Southerners are broaching new
theories of Pro-Slavery ultraism, and swearing
by them with unwonted fervor; while the North
erners, who seem to have found at last the i'm
practicability of satisfying the demands of the
South, are beginning to talk more like freemen
than they have done for years past.

We have had. no opportunity to compare

1t would be well if the publishers would also

There Is such an atlas in German, we believe,

its object.

This volume is made up of some thirteen ad-
dresses, delivered at different times and places,
and, without any particularly striking passages,
contains many good suggestions to the friends
of education, expressed in clear, neat style,
exhibiting the important bearing Of schools and
thorough instruction, the duties of teachers
as well as their reward, and the connection be-
tween true learning and national prosperity.
The author, of course, in embracing such a va
riety Of topics contained in the subject could
at most but touch upon them, and his thoughts
are rather of general nature, than in detail.
They have doubtless been well received, as they
are in some cases taken from the State reports,
where they first appeared, and the book is ded-
icated "to the Teachers of Massachusetts," to
numbers of whom they were addressed. Hard
ly too much can be done to elevate the teaching
in our public schools throughout our whole
country at the present day.

RHODE IsLAND-It will be recollected that,
at the regular Congressional election in Rhode
Island in March, there was no choice of a Rep
resenative in one of the districts, in CONSCIENCE
of there being three candidates in the field,
neither of whom received a majority of votes
Unfortunately, there are two Republican par
ties in the State one of them being a graft
upon the old Know Nothing stump, while the
other draws no distinction between native and
foreign-born citizens. The American Repub-
licans seem to be the stronger Of the two wings,
being a combination of Fremont Americans
and the old genuine Fillmore Know Nothings.
The Hon. Thomas Davis was and is the candi-
date of the Republicans proper. He ably and
faithfully represented the people of his district
in the Congress which repealed the Missouri
Compromise and we should be highly graft
fed to see him returned, and to see harmony
prevail in the ranks of the party. In an ad-
dress to his constituents, dated June llth, he
says:
Z" ] have not the slightest wish unnecessarily
to protract this controversy, or to keep apart
those who desire a union on grounds truly
liberal and national. In accordance with this
feeling, during the late session of the Legisla-
ture at Newport, made known my disposition
and desire to withdraw my name, provided the
American Republican party would Join with
the Republican in union call TO be issued BY
the State Committee of the two parties, and
then adopt the Republican name and platform
proposed to have the act done formally, that
there might be no further ground of controver-
sy. Several leading gentlemen connected with
the American Republican party expressed
themselves decided in favor of some measure
of the kind, but the proposition made by me
did not lead to any action, or meet with a
practical response. | then thought, and still
think, that the time chosen was in all respects
fitting, as there would be no personal prefer
ences for men in the way, which often distracts
and divides quite as much as measures or
principles.

A GALLANT PARTY.-The Sham Democracy
having admitted its want Of courage to defend
the rights of naturaliRed citizens when assailed
by European despotisms Of first rate preten-
sions, we may look out for reprisals at the ex-
pense of some of the petty Republics OF Gen.
trail or South America, Whether the Presi'
dent, and General Cass, with his broken sword,
will undertake anything so formidable as the
Greytown war, remains to be seen; but that

in his bamboo palace, will have to suffer, we
cannot doubt. Democratic +" statesmen" are

KANSAS CoNsTITUTIoNAL ELECTION. The
Sham Democracy in Kansas made herculean
efforts to elect majority of delegates to the
Constitutional Convention. In order to effect
this result they met together in Convention, and
avowed themselves in favor of making free
State. By this Infamous attempt to cheat the
people, together with the aid of Border Ruflian
votes on the Missouri line, they elected con.
siderable force to the Convention. But we are
gratifed to learn that the Republicans will have
at least six majority in that body, if not more.

GREAT NATURAL PHENoNENoE.-The 0swe-
go Palladium tells wonderful story Of the fall,
in that vicinity, of an immense meteoric stone,
covering near a halfacre of ground. This
story exceeds the one which originated in the
same region, few months ago, in regard to
the crossing of Niagara river, above the falls, on
a pair of stills.
