In sending to q friend sprig Of cypress
to be placed upon Franz Deak's tomb, the
venerable patriot, Louis Kossuth, writes in
q tone of mingled sadness and stoicism of
his own approaching end. He says:
This signing breath of death whispers in
my ear, mind, it is now your turn" And
l answer the voice, "All right; am readv.v
Yes, it is indeed my turn. of those who

l remark, almost too late, that these
reflections have lasted too long. I close
with this request: Take, beg, the time to

IN meeting the Southern and Western COM
blnation, which the Confederate leaders
are now trying to make against her. On
this point General Frye was very clear
ana strong. He showed the animus and
purpose of this combination. He showed
that even in the new tariff the great and
special object Of the Confederate leaders
was to strike down the industrial interests
OF New England. He also showed that the
political contest Of to-day involved the
same issues as the contest of 1860 and the
bloody period which followed-iesues for
which New England has ever stood on this
continent. and for which she is ready
to give her last dollar and her last
drop Of blood. Thus We again see
dence of the Great Emancipator con-
tlnues, now, as in the past, to make the e!e-
ments of human rivalry and interest carry
out His plan in regard to the cause of lib
erty and humanity on earth. This Eight

publican party al! over the country the
this State. That spirit is snti.slavery,
American and Protestant. As New
Hampshire paper we'll said after the recent
election in that State, when speaking
of New England and what she stands
for: "There is q Protestant Church
on every hill, q schoolh0use in every valley,
a newspaper in every village. This is Now
England. These things represent the issues
in the election which has just closed. So let
it stand" The editor might have added to
the above description the words, And .
family Bible and q family altar in each
household" IN word, New England stands
for freedom, for liberty, for American na-
tionality, for the cause of the political
brotherhood Of man, and although i've of
her Senators voted on the side Of caste in
Governor Pinchbsck's case, the heart of the
people 10 sound on all of these Issues. 1t
