KossuIh on lhe war.

Louis kossuth addressed a meeting "ot par
ties favorable to complete non-intervention
aud strict neutrality in tle present European
War; at Manchester, May 24th. The Free
Trade Hall was crowded. aud Kossuth was
loudly cheered when he came upon the plat
form, the audience rising The speech fills
some four close columns of the Times and the
N. Y. Evening Post says sit is remarkable for
that union of penetration and eloquence which
usually characterize his addresses He coun-
selled England to a strict neutrality in the
present eontest-not, however, from any re-
gard to the interests of England, but in the
conviction thst the sympathies Of the British
rulers are with Austria He distinctly charges
them on this score, maintaining that they
have never expressed word # friendliness or
anxiety in regard to the fate of Italy, while
they had manifested the profoundest sollcititude
for Austria.
Kossuth's position is, of course, that of a
Hungarian He hopes to see the ferments aud
agltations of Italy extended to his native coun-
try the house of Austria is to him the dragon
of history, iGted and red with crime, against
which he has Numbered for years, and he Is
averse TO seeing it strengthened even by
moral annrnvaI 10 thi- -',v tie burden of
his aojuralion to England is "lf you caunot
brlp II dy, for heavens sake do not help Aus
tria, the oppressor Of Italy. Do not allow
your prejudlces az, inst France and the ruler
oi France to place you on the side OF tyranny
and wrong"
Ko-suth draws an ingenious distinction be.
tw cen the French aud the Austrian govern.
ment for in France the des ot sm is personal
aId temporary, while the nation is essentially
tree, radIalipg the light of science and art to
all the world but IN Austria the despo ism is
absolute, pant and parcel OF the national life,
dep essng and bIghung whatever comes with
in lis influence. Admitting, however, that the
governments are equally odIous, that the fact
in itself would be an argument against the iu-
terlrrference OF England. II the taskmasters
60 to war, says kOssuth, let them tear each
other to pieces IT they please lie adds, at the
same time, that he know, nothing of the inten-
tiops OF Louis Napoleon, although he believes
that his interests we're all on the side of the in
dependence of the nations ....
AT the close OF his remarks Kossuth intima
sed that he might soon be called upon to 90
to Hungary, and the Vienna correspondent OF
the London Times, we percieve refers to the
unquiet state OF that country"

NFENalN ANNA WAAAN = N-AAAAANA
The Washington correspondent Of the N. Y.
Hetad lifts the veil to one of tho reasons why
thd P,st Office Department has been running
bed ID 40 wofuly under The buchanan Admin
sltation He states that recent investigations
into the affairs Of the Post Office, lead TO the
belief that this Department of the Government
uses one million dollars a year by the use Of
counterfeit aud rewashed Postage Stamps Il
is believed that there are two classes Of persons
enaaqed in this nelarious business, one Rhich
minulactures either from engraved or photo.
grsph,d plates and sells new postage STAMPS,
and another that gathers those which have been
used from waste paper collections, and by
means Of an acid, washes of the post office
stamp that was put on them when they passed
through the office. Under the present postal
sysiem, there is no means Of guarding against
the first named evil for the manufacture of the
postage stamp is SO simple that one man can
ma he his plate and produce thousands Of sheets
without the aid of a sluge person to dipose Of
them. He has only to come into collision with
some ofthe postmasters or their clerks, of which
there are more than fifty thousand in ALL
throughout the country, and the constant losses
Of money in passing through the mails, does
not give high standard to the honesty among
them. All Of them are entrusted with the sale
of stamps, and no check can be kept upon them
for'thCre is no possibility OF ascertaining how
many stamps are in the hands of the people
When letters are posted the clerks have no

| difficulty Of detection attends the re-washed
Stamps, but they are supposed to be used to
less extent than couuterleits on acc unt of the
greater facilities for selling them. Efforts have
been made both in this country andin England,
where the same difficulty occurs, TO obtain an
indcl lie lux for the purpose Of defacing the
used stamps, but without success and the inef

The only possible manner Of doing it seems
to be to abolish entirely tie use OF postage
