HANOVER, Dec. 13, 1851.
DEAR MARIus: The movements Of Kos
suih will be of absorbing interest for months
to come. The political parties, will make
capital out of him, If possible, in the pend
ing presidential election. Every effort will
he made TO secure his influence in support
of our oppression in America, tone hour Of
which is more intolernble than nges, of that
which he arose in rebellion to oppose" in
Hungary. Already the bloody iyrants are
ut work to secure him to themselves, to help
them rivit more securely the feticrs on the
limbs of .lirec millions of slaves. lIANGMAN
FooT, cruel aud cownrdy slave-breeder
and slave-drivcr has first proposed TO the
Senate of The United States to raise joint
committee of both Houses of Congress, to
make preparations to receive him with suita-
bic houors, MS ga martyr in The cause Of uni
rerSdi freedom as Kossuth styles himself.
Kossuill comes here us fugiiire from OPP
prtssion, aud one OF The ferccsi, and most
malignant supporters of the Fugitive Slave
law aud of slave hunting, mud slOvc-irodng,
is chosen TO give him the right hand of wei
come II Kossuth has one spark of man
hood in his soul if he has amy true estimate
of liberty mud abhorrence of slavery; if he
has any respect for human rights; he will
rpurn to touch the hand of IlnngnIan Foot;
m President Fillmore, of Daniel Webster or
Henry Clay, whose hands nre CORY with the
r ,i, .,f gIu,,.e
May God save Hungary's champion of liber-
~ from the polluling touch of sucl mean
and cruel iyranis who daily and hourly battle
their hands and feet in the blood of the in
nocent and helpless.
But there is little hope. Kossuth's first
net of devotion after landing on our shores,
will probably he to fall OH his knees nnd
worship the sIuveholding, aud slave-hunting
God of this Republic, aud swear allegiance
to the fend that presides over her sluve-auc-
tons, her slavc-prisons her ve-plania,ions;
her slave-couris, aud her slave hunts. Mark +,
aud see it he utters one word agninst slave
ry: or If he even uses the word slavery in
any of his speeches or addresses. lie will
prato of liberty, but slavery will he excluded
from his vocabulary. lie will eulogizc lib
criy " as The hest gift of Cod" as g the right
Of every human being" but mark if lie con-
dcnns slavery. lie will talk much about
constitutional freedom; but mark if he Ut
ters word against constitutional Slavery.
Three Millions of American slaves will
come before him, and pray him not to join
their oppressors 10 increase their power but
to help deliver them from the fangs of their
spoilers. His ears will he closed to their
cry aud his tongue palsied in their defence
Aud what will he his excuse? 1t will be
found in his answer 10 the address Of the
Allied French Democrats in London, given
Oct. 81, 1851. In that he snys:
al have not manifested in England that
thought which j expressed in Marseies, il IL
THE AFFAIRS OF COUNTRY THAT GIVES MI
HOSPITALITY, AND WHOSE ASSISTANCE
WISH ron THE FUTURE OF HuNGARY."
Kossuth in Marsailes was free TO pon
out uHu VI iIoulS Nu
poleon, because he would not give him hos
pitality, aud because he had no hope of Sc
curing his aid for Hungary. England gives
him hospitality, and offers help to the "iutur'
of Hungary" and Kossulb is dumb as tC
the expressions practiced by her ON her toll
ing millions in Britain and in India. 81
this slavc-breeding and slave-hunting Re
public gives him hospitality, and pledges
support and Sympathy TO Hungary. There
fore, Kossuth, will move among three mil
lions of slaves; see the wrongs done to then
by bis hosts; witness their wretchedness ant
tears and hear their groans; he waited ol
by slaves, and feasted by shareholders; YET
not one look nor word of sympathy will h
have for these imbruted millions becaus
their oPpressors the slave holders, and slave
hunters "give him hospitality" Kossutl
the "martyr in the cause of universal liber
y," pledged to sl9ve-hOlders that he will no
