hope the time VIII come ana CnaG you may live
to see it. when all the prominent politicians and
of the United States will consider it dis
honorable to throw dust in the eyes of their
pecting and less intelligent fellow countrymen, as it
is to steal and murder, do other unlawful deeds
What mountain of political sins some of them will
have to throw off, and to answer for at the great day
of judgment!

Txossuth's Letter o Gen. Cass.
We have been permitted to present to our readers
a letter from the renowned Hungarian leader and
patriot Louis Kossuth, addressed to Gen Cass, Sena
tor from Michigan. The intensity of patriotic feel
ing which it manifests, the beautiful simplicity of
it's expressions and its confident hope in the progress
of the great cause of human liberty, will commend
it to the warm regard of every uehearted Ameri-
can How proud is the reflection for an American
that wherever man is struggling for freedom, he
looks to this country for encouragement and exam
pie during the contest and for sympathy, if defeat
and misfortune, instead of victory and triumph
should come upon him! And much prouder would
have been the reflection had the resolution of Gen
Cass Ito terminate diplomatic intercourse with Aus
tria in token of reprobation of her fagitious
duct passed Congress, and gone out to the world as
the condemnation by free people of the most afro
cous act of tyranny recorded in the long conflict be-
tween power and the oppressed victims of power.
1t must be of true qualification and of
honorable pride to Gen. Cass, that his efforts to
pend diplomatic intercourse with Austria, although
they were unsuccessful have been so highly appre-
ciated and approved by the heroic leader of the gal
liant people whose exertions commanded the sympa-
thes of every true lover of freedom throughout the
world-a people who though now down-trodden, (as
the noble Kossuth says) yet hope WILL in the dis
pensations of Providence, assert and maintain their
rights as u free and independent nation among the
nations of the earth:
