Is the City of New York the United
statest
This is question which will soon be
decided. The dinner party of gentlemen
who passed Kossuth's propositions unani-
mously, will find, before they are many
years older, that they do not constitute
the United States of North America
One of the principal personages who fig
ured at this meeting, and made very
enthusiastic speech in favor of taking up
the cudgel for Kossuth, was Judge Ed
monds--Judge of the Superior Court of
that city. We observe that this speech
is commented on by some of our contem-
poraries as being important on account of
the source from which it proceeded If
the charges of some respectable newspa-
pers of New York be true, and we see no
reason to doubt them, the speech is of no
Importance on that very account The
New York Journal of Commerce and the
New York Day Book charge that Judge
Edmonds admits, not only that he is a be-
lever in the trapping spirits" utthat he
he is in the habit of consulting them upon
difficult questions which are raised in his
court A second Daniell We fancy
that all that parsonage can do for Kos
suth will be to "call spirits from the vas
ty Deep" A pleasant and profitable time
may he have with his invocations.
About year ago, Jenny Lind arrived
in New York, She was greeted with a
burst of frenzy quite as furious as that
which has saluted Kossuth. There was
no public procession it is true, but there
was general rush of all New York man
kind, womankind and childkind, to hail
Jenny. For nine days she was the won
der and idol of all Gotham, and then the
delirium ceased. Jenny may now arrive
in New York and depart without exciting
more attention than any ordinary Swede
New lions and lionesses have succeeded
her. Kossuth is at present the hero of
the hour. But he ought to recollect the
fate of Jenny and of other stars. He must
study New York character. 1t is as ex-
citable as the sea. 1t is as tickle as the
moon. 1t must always have god or q
goddess. 1t is never satisfied except
when its lips are glued to the heels of a
foreign celebrity. Nothing is necessary
then to its perfect happiness, except to be
kicked by the aforesaid heels, after the
fashion of Dickens and some other man
gates.
IfLola Monies had arrived in the Hum
boldt unaccompanied by Kossuth, she
would have created an almost unparallel-
ed excitement in New York. The thea
tres would have been crowded and the
public prints filled with her sayings and
doings. But the sun of Hungary is in the
sky, and Venus is scarcely visible. Ne
Yertheless, the enterprising editor of the
New York Tribune has seen Lola, and
from his account of her charms, we have
no doubt she would have drawn hugely if
Kossuth had not been starring it at the
same time. Lola says that she considers
Kossuth humbug We are sorry to see
this touch of professional jealousy
There is room enough in this western
world for all the passengers of the Hum
boldt.
But to return. There will be no inter
vention. The New Workers may pass
tipsy resolutions over their wine, but the
Russian Bear need not be alarmed. This
is great country, but New York is a
mere speck upon ia hy-spot on the 9TH

1t is city sadly given to man-worship.-
Should the Union ever be divided, New
York would have king in fifty years there
after. He would no doubt be foreigner
at that, with an unpronounceable name,
a theatrical costume, and hairy all over
like Esau.
