.R- The following remarks from the Charles
ton Evening Neps, show the sentiment enter
tained in that section towards the progressive
policy of the Kossuth propaganda
INTERVENTION IN FOREIGN AFFAIRs.-There
never was deusion more extreme or more
absurd than that which certain people, roliti
clans and presses. are creating in the mind of
Kossuth. Our intervention in the affairs of
Hungary is not even the dream Of those who
yet mouth it in declamatory speech in the ears
Of this ilustrous but misguided exile. The
New York people will subscribe little money
and less men. The Congress of the United
States dare not! The subject is simply one of
gammon-capital upon which demagogueism
will run riot for a month or two, to sicken of
at last Cass will quote, and Foote will prate, and
there will be thousand other praters of less
or large ealbre. But it is all CANNON, neverthe.
less; and poor Kossuth, after brief experience,
will discover that the voss of his country have
been made the subject Of vulgar defamation
for the most selfish purposes, He will soon
discover that topics and occasions such as his
visit furnishes, are simply the means by which
the surplus gas of our body polite is suffered
to escape without harming or helping any body

next to him, of Buchanan. On the 7ih O
January, the nominating conventions will assem-
