THE COMING OF M. KossUTH.

THE COMING OF M. KOSSUTH.
The Hungarian Cheftain, so renowned of late
in public report, is to arrive at New York early in
the next week. and to be received with great eclqt
with greater show of honor, probably, than the
CITY of New York has ever manifested towards any
citizen Of our own country, however eminent for
virtue or distinguished by long career of public
service.
Without going into particulars of the parade ex-
pected on this occasion, we copy the following brief
notice from the New York Evening Mirror OF
Tuesday as embracing the leading features of the
intended reception:
''REcrPros KossurH.-The arrangements for the re-
cepon the Magyar progressing under the direction OF
the Committee of the Common Council He will arrive here
probably about the I'd 3D. December in the Humboldt and
the pilot who FIRST boards her will convey letter TO KossUTH
requesting him remain for day with DR.. Doane, the
health officer the Quarantine The Oregon steamer has
been chartered by the committee, and the official delegation
will proceed Staten Island in her, and escort him to the
city Before landing Castle Garden the boat will proceed
up the East ard North rivers receiving sau.es from various
points in the rivers. Sautes will also be fred at Staten
Island and the Government stations

the city Hail. where be will receive the honors Of marching
salute and be thence conducted 10 the Irving House
ssOn the day succeeding his arrival the grand Military
and Civic Banquet will be given by the city authorities at
the Irving House..
That a hearty welcome to our country should be
extended to distinguished European whom the
Congress Of the United States has, by formal re-
solution, encouraged to visit this Western World
cannot be an unreasonable testimony of the CORE
spondence of the public feeling with the hospiabe
intent of that resolution. So far as an exhibition
of that feeling goes trust that the reception will
be all that those engaged in getting it up can de-
sire; that favoring breezes will watt the Hungarian
to our Shores and bright skies cheer the ceremonies
which will attend his landing.
Thus far our counTymen may well 60 without
committing themselves to any political purposes
which M. KossuTH may be supposed to have in
visiting the United States. It certainly did not
enter into the mind of Congress, in extending to
him the invitation which he has accepted, that it
was to lead to any systematic attempt at propagan-
dism of European politics and habits of thought.
among our People. The policy of this Govern
ment, in regard to its intercourse with Foreign
Powers, built upon foundation of solid wisdom,
has stood the shock Of all the European agtations
of sixty years past, and, it may be hoped, will re-
main unshsken by them for as many years to come.
1t was WASHINGTON who laid its cornerstone Let
no man presume, in our day, to disturb it.
On this general subject we have met, in coun-
try paper published in our neighborhood, with an
article SO marked by excellent sense and just
comprehension of the position Of the United States
in the community of Nations, that we cannot refuse
ourselves the pleasure of placing it before read
ers. Many journalists, far and near, have mani
tested identical opinions; but we have not seen
them any where better expressed than in the
following:
