1 Ia OsSuth, Joint intervention, and he
| Monroe Doctrine.
"B," correspondent Of the National Intel
Hgenccr, says:
81 regret very much that the resolution
passed at the last session has a place on our
statute book. 1t was, / think, q hasty measure,
adopted without much reflection. The conse-
quences have been injurious We're it not for
that governmental act, unwarranted by the con-
stituton or by precedent, the Kossuth fever
would have subsidized into q calm and cordial
feeling for an oppressed exile, and generous
attention to his circumstances There may be
danger now that the nation may be led into a
great political error, by abandoning virtually
the principle of mon intervention
"As regards the action of the Government
in the reception and treatment of NJ. Kossuth,
/ am very willing that it should be left to the
prudence and patriotism of the President. He
has my entire confidence Neither do / believe
that Mr.. Webster win recommend any govern
mental demonstration. He is too experienced
helmsrnan to allow the ship of State to be ex-
posed 70 the dangers Of excitement and sympa-
thy. am sure he will never let go the great
sheet-anchOr Of our political safety-non-inter.
! vention."
The Iatel1igcacer's correspondent seems to be
ignorant of the facts which are most important
to a proper understanding of this question, and
which show that his confidence in Mr. Webster
is misplaced. 1t was by the advice, if not at
| the suggestion, of Mr. Webster himself that the
resolution Of last session. which g B." censures
as Injurious and dangerous in its tendencies,
was introduced. And Mr.. Foote'S resolution of
sympathy and welcome at this session was also
introduced by the advice, or at the suggestion,
of Mr.. Webster We would also suggest to
b." that Kossuth was liberated and sent here
by the interposition Of the British government,
which has its own purposes to serve by the ex-
element and sympathy which he thinks so
dangerous And we may venture to assume,
considering the entente cordial between Mr..
Webster and Sir II. Bulwer, that the latter re-
commended to MIR. Webster the measures which
Mr.. w. recommended to Mr. Foote.
| As the editors Of the htetligencer must be
aware of these facts, we are somewhat sur
prised at the sly rebuke which they minister to
Mr.. Webster by the commendatory notice with
which they publish CHS" communication.
! They have generally been supposed to have very
strong British afiinites themselves, but it seems
that even they cannot go, the length of Mr..
webster's tendencies in that direction. They
say:
4 "The great question is now opened Of per
hitting foreign influence from any quarter t
be introduced into the counsels of this country
This was a danger most intensely deprecated BY
| Washington in his Farewell Address in view o
a then recent attempt to exercise il in the Uni
ted States All such attempts, now and ever
ought 70 be resisted argumentatiyely and calm.
| ly, but firmly and decisiyely. No room ough
to BIO left for misrepresentation of the sense O
the United States on that question"
1t is gratifying to hear the Intellyencsr speak
ing out in this way, We would like also t.
have its views as to the joint Intervention O
France and England in relation to Cuba, anC
of the. joint intervention Of France, England
and the United States to aid the black Empe-
ror Souluque to prohibit the immigration o
whites to the neigbboring Dominican republic
Does the bpteHigenc~ disapprove Of Mr.. Web
ster's abandonment of the Monroe doctrine, al
wen as Of his departure from the old doctrine
Of non Intervention in. European affairsH
EszS~ We learn that the steamer 0sceola, fol-
Norfolk, could not leave her wharf this morning
on account Of the ice.
