to load them down with the entire volume of the
Addresses, mostly committed to paper in advance
which are continually flowing from the lips Of nj
KossUTH, in reply to the adulatory incense, hollow
professions, and deusive pledges offered to him by
public assemblies, marshalled by persons whom fire.
quently desire for notoriety and passion
for lionising influence more than any serious de-
enterprises to which they are invited by the Hun
garian exile Our readers have indeed already seen
enough disclose them the greater part of the OBJ
jects of NJ. KossUTH; and there is no need to pub
lsh repetitions of his declaration of them, except
in a case, as in the last of his public addresses
to the New York BARN which he casts off all
restraint and, fulfilling the predictions of his con-
fdential friends, actually proclaims Crusade by
the United States Gin which Great Britain is to
unite) against the Powers of Continental Europe.
There can be no mistake about it now; nor is there
much more reason to doubt that besides the casual
promptings of Americans in Europe, again referred
to by W. KossUTH in his last address, he is advised
In the materials, if not in the composition of his
speeches, by political personages in New York,
who seem to have loftier or lower aspirations than
for the mere welfare and interest of their
try. 1t is not possible that M. Kossuth should
have conceived, of himself some of the ideas in his
speeches. and still less that he should in the midst
of his unceasing occupation in New York, have had
time to familarze himself with the contents OF Po-
litical pamphlets which though privately printed,
have never yet been publishedas is the fact in re-
gard to one of the authorities relied upon in his last
Fridays address.
Our object at present, however, is only to intro
duce to our readers an extract from that address,
which demands their most grave consideration, and
upon which we shall not presume to offer them any
other comment than to request their attention to
the sentences and parts of sentences which have
distinguished by putting them in Italic.
