But on consultation it was deemed advisable to
pursue different course and that course was
taken by mutual arrangement. So far from there
being the slightest ill-feeling between them,
Kossuth took leave of Capt. Long, and of all the

most warmth of Misunderstanding to each his
regret at being obliged to leave, and expressing
the hope of soon meeting them again upon the

may mention here that very few of the
leaders Cor, as noe call them, editorial arti.
cles,) which appear in the London papers, are
written by the editors Of those journals. There
is regular corps Of gentlemen attached to each
paper, who have no other business with il than
TO prepare leading articles upon such subjects
as they may select, or as may be named to them
by the editors. These writers seldom act in
concert. and many of them rarely visit the ac.

the business Of an editor TO little more than the
duty Of supervisor and the employment of so
many persons, whose ordinary avocations do not

words.
"That whenever any form of government be-
comes destructive of the ends for which it was
organized, il is Ae right, nay, the DUTY Of the
people to throw off such government"
Why need we write more--every leading
Democrat in the days of Madison, Jefferson, and
the fathers of the Constitution proclaimed bold
ly the sovereignty of the States and their right
in the last resort of secession. John Randolph
was supported by the Democracy OF Virginia
when he declared they had right ito sEcEDE

We might continue this, but the Democratic
right of secession is too evident to admit of dis
