KOSSUTH ONT STATU RIGHTS.
The eloquent Magyar thus discoursed of
centralization and State Rights at the Congressional
banquet:
"We Hungarians are very fond of the prin1

lirve a natural horror against the principle of
ikuitra'ization. That fund attachment to ma:
nicipal self-government, without which there is
no.provincial freedom possible, is a fundamental
feature of oar national character. We
brought it with us from far Asia a thousand
years ago, and we conserved it throughout the
vicissitudes of ten centuries. No nation has
perhaps so much struggled and suffered from
the'civilized Christian world as we. [Sensation.]
We do not complain of this lot. It may be
heavy, but it is not inglorious.' Where the
cradle of our Savior stood, and where his divine
doctrine was founded, there now another
faith rules, and the whole of Europe's armed
pilgrimage could not avert this fate from that sacred
spot, nor stop die rushiug waves ol Islamism
absorbing the christian empire of Constantino.
We slopped those rushing waves. The
breast of mv nation a proved breakwater to
them. [Bravo! Bravo!] We guarded Christendom,
that Luthers and Calvins might reform
it. [Applause.] It was a dangerous time,
and the dangers of the time often placed the
confidence of all my nation into one man's
hand, and that confidence gave power into his
hands to become ambitious. But there was
not a single instance in our history where a
man honored by his people's confidence, had
deceived his people b}' becoming ambitious.
[Applause.] The man out of whom Kussian
diplomacy succeeded to make the murderer of
of his nation's confidence?lie never had it,
hut was rather regarded always with distrust.
But he gained some victories when victories
were the moment's chief necessity. At the
head of an army, circumstances placed him in
the capacity to ruin his country, But he never
had the people's confidence. So even he is
no contradiction to the historical truth that no
Hungarian whom his nation honored with its
confidence was ever seduced by ambition to
become dangerous to his country's liberty. [Ap.

is not accidental; it is the logical consequence
of the Influence institutions upon the national
character. Our nation, through all its history,
was educated in the shool of municipal selfgovernment;
and in such a country, ambition
having no field, has also no place in man's
character.
"The truth of this doctrine becomes yet more
illustrated by a quite contrary historical fact in
France. Whatever have been the changes of government
in that great country?and many they
have been, to be sure?we have seen a Convention,
a Directorate, Consuls, and and one Consul,
and an Emperor, and the Restoration, and
the Citizen King, and the Rupublic; through all
these difi'ferent experiments centrilization was
the fundamental tone of the institutions of France
?power always centralized; omnipotence always
vested somewhere. And remarkable indeed,
France has never yet raised one single
man to the seat of power who has not sacrificed
his country's freedom to his personal ambition!
[Great appl .use.]
"It is sorrowful, but is natural, ft is in the
garden of centralization where the venomous

affirm, that in your great country there exists
not a single man through whose brains has ever
passed the thought that ho would wish to
raise the scat of his ambition upon the ruins of
your country's liberty, if lie couW. JSuch a
wish is impossible in the United .States, [Applause.]
Institutions react upon the character
of nations. lie who sows wind will reap
storm. History is the revelation of I'rovid<mcc.
The Almighty rules by eternal laws
not only the material but the moral world; and
every law is a principle, and every piincipie ia
a law. Men as well as nations are endowed
with free will to choose a principle, but that
once chosen the consequences must he abided.
With self-government is freedom, and with
freedom is justice and patriotism. With centralization
is ambition, and with ambition
dwells despotism. Happy your great country,
sir, for being so warmly addicted to that great
principle of self-government. Upon this foundation
your fathers raised a home to freedom
more clorious than the world has ever seen*
Upon this foundation yon have developed it to
a living wonder of the world. Happy your
great country, sir! that it was selected l?y the
blessing of the Lord to prove the glorious practicability
of a federative union of many sovereign
-States, all conserving their State rights
and their self-government, and yet united in
one?every star beaming with its own lustre,
but all together one constellation on mankind's
canopy. [Great applause and clu ers.J
''Upon this foundation your free country
has grown to a prodigious power in a surprisingly
brief period, an attractive power in that
your fundamental principlo. You have conquered
hy it more in seventy-live years than Rome
by arms in centuries. [Goodl Goo:i!J Your
principles will conquer the world. 11 y the
glorious example of your freedom, welfare,
and security, mankind is about to become conscious
of its aim. The lessons you give to liu
inanity will not be lost. The respect fur-State
rights in the Federal Government of America,
and in its several -States, will become instructive
example for universal toleration, forbearance,
and justice to the future Slates and Republics
of Europe. Upon this basis will be
' i ..... .: .. I....
got rid ot tiie tniscmevous rjufsuuii ??i i.-u?gunge-nationalities,
raised by cunning despiv
tisrn ia LOurope to murder liberty. Smaller
States will find security in the principle of federative
union, while they will conserve their national
freedom by the principle of sovereign
self-government; and while larger States, abili
eating the principle of the centralization, will
cease to be a bloody field to sanguinary usurpation,
and a tool the to ambition of wicked men,
municipal institutions will insure the development
of local particular elements, freedom formerly
ail abstract political theory, will become
the household benefit to municipalities; and
out of the welfare and contentment of all parts
will flow happiness, peace, and security for the
whole. [Applause]
That is my confident hope Then will at
?ncc subside the fluctuations of Gemunoy's
' fate. It will become tlje he-art of Europe; not
by melting North (iermany into a Southern
frame, or the South into Northern; not by abi
sorbing historical peculiarities by centralized
' omnipotence; not by mixing in one State, but
! by federating several sovereign States into a
; Union like yours. I
J
WHENCE MUST OUR REDEMPTION
COME?
1 The future condition of the Southern States
i is covered over and obscured by all manner of
; doubts and uncertainties. That there are dangers
I before us, of the most fearful character, canj
not he disbeleived. That these dangers are
daily increasing in magnitude is equally true,
j The spirit of Abolition, which commenced
! breathing its pestiferous influences upon the
i American mind but a few years ago, is now
; Indus felt in every part of our vast Republic.
i North of Mason's and Dixon's line, it has atI
ready become potent to direct and control the
i ballot-box, to a lamentable undue extent,
j And South of that line, it has tainted its tliouj
sands. In looking over its past history, the
j conclusion is forced upon every observant man
! that this wild and disorganizing spirit has been
i rapidly progressive. Nor is there any thing,
i at presant transpiring,'calculated to lessen
, the probabilities of its career becoming more
J and more sweeping with each succeeding
; year. Every effort to impede its onward
I course is scattered and driven off, like chaff
; before the wind. Even the high functionaries
! of the Central Government, with all their acj
cumulated power, are inellicient. to decrease
i's terrible momentum. The reasons, we fear,
are too clear to be doubted, going to show
that Power and Fanaticism are hastening on,
kind in hand, to the destrution of Southern
prosperity bv a subversion of that institution
upon which it mainly depends.
I And where are we to look for the redeeming
j angel, destined to roll hack this dark and dashing
tide? It may be answered, to the honestv
the justice and the generosity of the great
j American People. There was a time when
(there might have been something consoling in
this ronlv. Hut that time is not now?may
; * "I V* ' # *
| never be again. Our fathers before us were
sustained in many political trials by an abiding
' faith in the American "ror pojwli." Hut as of!
ten as they trusted, so often have they been
I deceived. Until, gradually, the patriotic imj
pulses which led them to instil into the youth
I lul minds of us, their children, a zealous admiration
of the American character, became
chilled and blighted. And their last teachings
partook more of the nature of solicitous warj
nings against a great and growing evil. Would
! that it were so, that the faith of our fathers
still dwelt securely in the bosomes of the present
genaration of Southerners ! Hat it cannot
be. A change lias parsed over the Republic
and over Republicans; and every one, who
will cot obstinately close his eyes, nmst perceive
it. Our Government has been basely
perverted to unholy and unconstitutional purposes.
The simplicity and frugality of for
j mer nays nave neen repiaceu in- cmnpiexuy
i and extravagance, among our people as well
j as in the departments of State. The old SaxI
on and Norman blood, which planted the tree
* of Liberty on this side the Atlantic, has been
strangely mixed and corrupted by an influx of
; men of all kindreds and tongues. And this
last evil has but just fairly commenced. The
American people are not now what they were
twenty years ago. Twenty years hence, and
no man may he able 10 delineate with any accuracy
the thousands phases of American society.
True, the National amalgam may cement
the various heterogeneous compounds into
one solid mass. So much the worse for
i Southern welfare, i'or every ship load of emigrants
landed upon our shores is hut an increase
of those feelings and principles, which
, tend to raise the Central Power upon the down
fall of local interests aivd State Right. Bej
cause, the advocates of Consolidation and the
| propagandists of Abolition having already the
j numerical strength, those who come Iroin nth
I or land* being imbued with simitar views,win asj
suredly blend with the mnrjority. And such
! are all, or nearly all, who are now flocking by
j thousands to American soil. No! The final
j deeis on of the Anie'ican People is no Ion*
i ger worthy to bo trusted. In America, tho
j "ecu' pnpuli" is now far?very far from being
j the "rox Dei." It is much nearer thi voice of
i Anar hy and misrule.
When then, wo ask again, shall we look for
Southern redemption? The confiding religion1
ist may reply, to the infinite goodness and wis;
do 11 of that Providence which rules the affairs
, of nations. May this sacred confidence never
desettus! Hut, lie it remembered, the lessons
, of our holy leligi-m instruct us that man is the
; instrument of his own well-being, while it is
: (lod who givetli the increase?that is by the
' active and untiring use i f means, with the hies|
sings of Heaven, we are to secure either temi
poral or eternal good. If we slumber and
sleep, it is in vain we look to the Righteous
| Ruler above us for that which we need. If
i now, as a people, we lie supinely upon our
hacks while a political Avalanche threatens to
i oreuhelm us in ruin, we will olfend a just Pro-*
vidence by an empty faith which shows itself
, by no outwa'd works. There is a faith in the
just Itoverumeut of lleavcn, which tins and
will again redound to tin* benefit of nations.
It is a faith, simular to that which animated
Patrick Henry, when he exclaimed, "To trust
to arms and to the (?od of Hosts is all that is
left us!" And here is indicated the only inI
strumentality, we verily believe, which will
disenthrall our Southern homes from the doom
: which now seems to await them. Let us dare
! to do what was done in T<7l>?and the same
| Providence which conducted that strugle to a
successful issue, willl lead us out of the wilderness
of despair Into a fa r and happy condition
once again.
Some may think that these expresions are
out of season?that they would have done well
enough for the exciting days of'51 , hut are
not suited to the indifference and depression
which characterize the opening of '5*2. It is a
conciousncss of this very apathy which has led
our thought to this tonic. As an humble sentinel
upon the watch tower of Southern inter1
ests. we feel it to be our duty to keep our perii
lous position ever before us. What though a
[ paatieular mode of Southern resistance has
been seta?ide as inefficiert! Is our work therefore
at an end? Is the Southern spirit therefore
fled ? We would not vet indulge the dread supposition,
and yet, without a powerful awakening
the South is gone and her" lovely plains"
despoiled of all their wealth and beauty. Among
others, we have had serious fears that
the sleep of death had well nigh taken hold of *
our people. Bui no! the end of our struggle for
equal rights is surely not yet arrived. Let us
not suffer ourselves to become callous to our
country's late however disheartening the chances
may be. Let us endoavor to keep the
flame of Southern resistance burning high and
bright. The enemies of our peace and wellbeing
are even now madly adding fuel to that
flann*; and, if we stand firmly at our posts,
it may yet become a "consuming fire," to the
destruction of all their hellish purposes.
1% .? < .1 n t i *
isretnren 01 nit* rress: lei us arouse ourselves
once more to the strife. And should Southern
freemen continue blindly to run after their
idols of gold and silver to the utter neglect
of that higher and nobler work?the work of
Southern deliverance?let us at least be certain
that our duty has been faithfully discharged.
Men of Carolina! Let us unite once more
under a common banner?let us set an exain
pie of harmony and union to our Southern brothers?and
let us, while awaiting the time and
J occasion for unfurling the Southern flag, keep
! our arms burniscd and our ranks in good or|
dor.
Murders by Arsenic in France.?One of the
most extraordinary cases ever brought before
a erimnal court has just been tried by the Court
of Assizes of the I licet-Vilainc. The prisoner
was a female, named Helene Jagado, who for
several years past has been a solvent in difier!
ent families of the department, tfhe stood at
i the bar charged with several thefts committed
j in and since the year 184t'?, and with seven
! murders by arsenic in 185H; but the evidence
I showed, that although only seven eases had
; been selected, as more recent, and therefore
I more easy of proof, not less than forty-'hrcc
persons had been poisoned by her with arsenic,
i The victims were either her masters or rnistresi
ses, or fellow-servants, who had incurred her |
j hatred. In some cases no motive of interest j
or hatred could be assigned. The prisoner appeared
to have been actuated by a thirst for
destruction, and to have taken pleasure in witnessing
the agonies of her victims, The sud
denuess of the deaths in the families where she
was a servant excited the greatest sensation, |
i but for a long time no suspicion as to the cause 1
for the murdress appeared to be very religious; |
1 slie attended in many instances with apparent
i solicitude on the persons whom she had poisoned,
and so successful was her hyprocrisy j
that even the deaths of the mother and other
relative of a phycician in whose family she livj
ed ra sed no suspicion of poison in his mind.
'I'he frequency of deaths, however, in the fam;
ilies by whom she was successively engaged
' excited a suspicion among the peasantry that
there was something in her nature fatal to
those who were near her, and it was customary
with them to say her liver was white, it
being bc'ieucd in that part of Franco that
persons who arc dangerous have white livers.
i The prisoner herself frequently exclaimed, afi
ter the ,eath of a victim, "How unhappy I
I am; wherever I go, death follows me."'
The cases on which she was brought to trial
were established by the evidence bevoud the
possibility .if doubt. The prisoner, throughout
the trial, which lasted ten days, constantly declared
that she was innocent, and seemed to
anticipate an acquittal on account of their be
ing no proof of her having had arse:in* in her
possession. It was proved, however, that in
one of the families in which she was ti servant
some years ago there was a targe quantity of
arsenic, which was not locked tip, and that it
, had suddenly disappeared. This arsenic had,
without dould, been taken by the prisoner and
i iiad served for the commission of the sueeesj
sive murders.?Tiie only defence set up for
iier was founded on phrenological principles.
It was conteuded that the organs of hypocrisy
and iloatructivness were developped to a degree
which overpowered the moral faculties, and
that, although it wouid ho unsafe to leave her
at large, she ought not to he condemned to
capital punishment, the peculiarity of her organization
rendering her rather an object ot
' pity. This defence failed entirely; and, the jury
haying delivered a verdict without extenua- |
ting circumstances, the court condemned her !
to death.
In our statement on Saturday last of thc*ex*

of the day as a Temperance Lecturer, has accept^ 101
od the invitation extended to him by Judge
O'Xeall, and is now likely in the city of Charleston,
where he will commence his lectures on the
suojcct of Temperance
We have enjoyed the pleasure of hearing Mr. '10
White on two occasions, and confidently assert' |ai
that he is by far the best speaker we have ever 111
heard on this subject. His anguage is chaste and
elegant, and his transitions?from grave to gay?
from lively to severe,are remarkable. His eloquence
is quite as fascinating as we imagine Kos. ?"
suth's to be, although he can never be such a e"
wonder, for he is a native American, a Kentueki- j'1

Judge 0:Neall. an
In the September number of Livingston's Law
Mag zine, is a portrait anil short biographical
sketch of this distinguished Carolinian. We may
bo pardoned on this occasion for adding a word *?
or two, bearing testimony to the character of this A!
able jurist, altho' what wo may say or what others
may say of Judge O'Neall, cannot add to the Sei
high position which he already has in his native
State. As a citizen at home, he is admired and Jol
beloved for the many traits of his excellent char- jut
acter. We may confidently assert that no man of
in the Slate, enjoys a larger degree of the confi- Oil
deuce of the people than Judge O'Neall. Hede. tai
serves it all, and the honors which have been be- gn
stowed upon him, he bears them we.I. We can- mr
not conceive a higher mark of dLtinguHied re- w?
gard than to clothe a man with the ermine of* the nu
Judiciary ofCarolina.
As a man, patriot, hitch public offi.ier, Judge
OW'eall is all that his many ami ardent fiends
have ever claimed lor him. We like Judge >"
OW'eall beca .se lie is a good man, as well as a i rai
great man. Those who know him, are assured i an
of his great goodness of heart, illustrating in his th#
dalv lite the doctrines of that religious faith which Tli
he professesand adorns. Th rsu who have shared > if
the hospitalities of his elegant home, may bear , the
testimony to his urbanity and strict religious char- scr
actor. He is a praying Judge, and does not tail j ly
to ask the blessing of Heaven upon bis ow n, and \ oiu
' the stranger that is within his gate." j Th
Our political differences with Judge OW'eall, rar
sink into insignificance when we contemplate the ! Wi
man. He is plain, practical.and intelligible; may the
be understood, can be known and read of all men.
Judge OW'eall is a Union man (we wish he was '
not)?this cannot change our regard for him as a ni"
gentleman and a Judge. One of his admirable l'lc
peculiarities is, that he takes the shortest way to
accomplish any desired object; and in this way . 'he
does more than any other man in the State, of j j
mental labor. We hope he may be long spared i
to the State, and his bright example of "indomita- j^0
ble energy, perseverance and industry," prove a 1 ^
blessing to succeeding ages We copy the con- i
