From The Raleigh nv. CA Star.

II is an able, plain. republican, unpretending,
statesman like document; and will be read with
pleasure and appreciation by every unpreJudiced
American citizen, to whatever party he may be-
long. None but factionists can find fault with this
mastery State paper; and perceive that critics
OF that class are more disposed TO complain about
what the President has omitted to cay than to
attack any thing he has said, which is rather a
compliment than otherwise to the high toned pa
trotsm, wisdom, and soundness of the views set
forth in the message.

The United States and England-Fx ossuth =
Proposed Alliance.

kossUrH has again and again asserted that
his hopes in regard 10 Hungary's future rest in
the main upon the alliance Of England and the
United States for the purpose of enforcing non
intervention upon the absoutist powers of Eu-
rope. What he said in England left no doubt
as to his conviction of the necessity of OBJ
tanning the aid Of the people and govern
ment Of that country, in conjunction with
that OF the people and the government of this
Republic and his addresses since landing from
the Humboldt present the same feeling in forms
more or less distinct. He has argued that
whatever jealousy may have existed between
the two nations in bygone times should now be
allow to expire; and that the future should pre-
sent friendly union of the two in behalf of
liberty in every quarter Of the globe. He has
uniformly, too, ranked them as equally con-
cerned with Turkey in protecting him against
The Austrian hangman, and in eventually pro-
curing the freedom he now enjoys.
BY this time. we think, he must have per-
celyed that almost insuperable difficulties exist
in relation to this fundamental point. He must
have learned that here, at the very outset Of
his scheme, obstacles present themselves which
neither logic nor eloquence can surmount. Talk

The Two Hundred Thousand Bayonets and

From tLe Proridence Jolrnnl.

1t is manifestly wrong that the organs of public
bodies in their addresses of congatulaiion and well
come, should mislead kossuth by telling him. as
Dr. Doane did, that two hundred thousand bayonets
are at his service, or as Major Hagodorn did, tho
thinking it shame that the civil authorities should
outbrag the military, talked of three and a hall
millions of young men ready to leave their friends
in the United States 10 oppose their breasts to Rus
sian bayones. This would be very ridiculous il the
subject was not serious. Nothing of the kind
will be done. The people OF this country will rush
into no such extravagancc, and thcs promises OF
armed assistance go profusely offered by inflated
orators and unthinkng demagogues will pass by
as the idle wind. The gallant Hungarian should
be told this promptly. He asks the truth and this
isathe truth We admire him and his nation, but
we have no idea OF sacriicing ourselves, of aban
doning our peaceful policy, and endangerpp our
institutions, for the benefit of any people. This is
the deliberate sentiment of the country, and be
ought not TO be left in ignorance oft.
Kossuth has been deceived with regard TO public
opinion in this country. The deception com.
menced in England, when Mr.. Walker made him
such magnificent PROMISES and talked OF the thou
sands OF American citizens who would flock 10
Europe TO sustain the cause of liberal principles
and even shed their blood in defence OF the throne
OF England. The speeches of DR.. Doane and Mai
Hagodorn, which Kossuth has not yet learned to
estimate at their true value, increased this dccep-
ton; and the overwhelming enthusiasm of his re =
ception. the thousands that poured out to him.
