d'Aeaiyes ofthe United States at Constan-
,inople, ia. which he speaks Of the Foreign
policy Of our Government and its doctrine OF
intervention as to European afairs;up-
on which the Intelligencer makes the fol-
lowing remarks:
In these remarkable, and, to those who Access
sible TO Instruction, edfyng expressions OF kossuth,
there il indeed much to awaken deep refection-
The United States told, If not in direct terms,
in such rs there is mstsking that their interfer-
ence in the affairs of Eastern Europe cannot be sup
ported by their power; that they do nothing in
favor Of but much to injure those who are engaged
in resistance power in that quarter OF the world
In would appear from Kossuth's Letter that he had
read and remembered the theory, and acknowledge
ed its wisdom If reduced to practice, OF Non-inter-
vention on the part of the United States in the con-
Acts Of Europe He offers no polite thanks tor their
kindness toward himself and his language is such
to admit Of no rational doubt that had he thrown
out all that was his mind. be would have advised
our Government to make itself at least moderately
acquainted with the relations of power in Eastern
Europe before making another display of unayaiing
sympathy.
BIZ, both the United States and Kossuth might
be told moderate their epthets in regard to Tur-
key. IL either both desire tn see the crescent
torn from, and the Russian eagle with outspread
wings perched on the highest steeple Of ST. Sophia,
they are taking direct to their desires ac-
complished. Turkey, in obedience to the benign
doctrines OF the Koran has already gone rs far in ia
vor of Christian cxiles rs any thing short of mad
zeal could expect Of her. The Turks have, in the
case before US. been styled towards. In what page
of their history is there record to sustain such
calumnyf On the contrary their bravery is proven
bal and in the present instance, their hospitality
has been exercised at the risk of their national exs
tencc.
We confess ourselves not little aston
ishcd and mortified, at such commentary,
upon the noble protest Of the unhappy ex-
lie, against Turkish treachery and Austrian
barbarity, in ajournal ofthe Intelligencer's
position. We should be untrue to the
irrepressible sympathies ofour nature, did
We not pronounce such language an-Amer-
lean and heartless. We have carefully
read the passage cited and see nothing in it,
to justify the conclusions of the Intelligent
GER Kossuth says thatthc Turkish Govern
ment yield "but to fear or protection and
that it has nothing ofear and no protection
to hope, from the United States-because
of our well known policy of "mon-inter-
rentioa, IN European matters" This is GER
tainly no reflection upon "tte powrr" ofthc
United States and its ability to support any
"inteyjcrence" which itmay choose to make.
Nor does he find fault with the policy Of
our government, in that respect. but says
"wisc were the men who established this
principle and wise were the men who fol-
lowed it," and that it does not become him
to Investigate whether the dress which is
so well suited to protect the childhood and
to develop the youth, will still prove suit
able when the much-promsing youth
had become a full-grown man-nay, a
mighty giant as your country isl
There is nothing in the expressions of
Kossuth" to warrant the remark of the In
telligcncer "that they (the United States)
can do nothing in favor of, but much to in
jure, those who are engaged in resistance to
power in that quarter of the world" not
one word or syllable, we say. to authorize
such remark.
ale offers no polite thanks" says the
Intelligencer, to the United States "for their
to himself" Let us see if this is
so. The letter of kossuth contains such
as these: Generous PROPOSE
ton Of your glorious country's Congress
and Government" "the glorious position it
already holds" "noble sentiments of SYM
patty to the struggling. commiscration to
the fallen. an asylum to the prosecuted"
"the glorious declaration Of Mr.. Webster"
ITO me it would be quite announcement
either to entertain or to express any feel
ings else than the most fervent gratitude for
the generous intention Of your country and
of your Government, and of the most re-
spectful appreciation other noble conduct
toward myself and my companions, which
] beg you will be so kind as to convey to the
Government and people of the United
States; together with the humble declara-
ton Of mine, that whatever may be the
fate have to meet, it will be, even in the
moment of d, ath-afer the trust to God,
always my chief consolation, that your
glorious country, the grave judgment of
your men, as well asthe sentiments of your
people, have deemed the poor Hungarian
exile not unworthy Of their sympathy"
Great. glorious and free Democratic A.
merica." He says he intended to send his
children "undcr or even Gfi can't other
wise beg without their guardian angel, my
dear beloved WIFE" These and other sim
liar expressions are found in the letter of
the noble and unfortunate Exile, and vet
we are told by the Intelligencer that he
"offcrs no polite thanks"
We very much fear, THAT the Intelligencer
has become too habituated to courtly cir
cles and diplomatic speech, to understand
the simple and natural language of the
heart. The whole letter is the Overlooking
ola deep fountain Of gratitude, not the less
pure, because mingled with an indignant
contempt and defiance of his oppressors.
But the Intelligencer undertakes to pro-
nounce the charge of cowardice against
the Turks-"a calumny," and is so little
needless itself about uttering calumny,
that it does not take the trouble to ascertain
whether any such charge is made. Kos
suth does not say that the Turks are cow
ards. (whether he might not have so spo-
ken ofthem. in their present effeminate and
debascd condition, we will not say,) but
speaking of the agency of an Austrian
Commissary in the matter:-"An Austrian
