The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1851-12-30
Ixossuth.

The Senate yesterday adopted the recon-
mendation of a committee, to receive kossUTH
as LAFAYETTE was received; that is, to allow
him TO be introduced by the PRESIDENT, and
invited to take a seat. As the Senate stands
adjourned until Friday, it is more than likely
that the proceeding will take place on that day.
The extracts we have published from Kos
sUTH's addresses at Philadelphia and Balti-
more serve to show that his views have under
gone no change in regard to the course which
he thinks this country is bound to pursue in the
event of renewed intervention by Russia. His
remarks at both cities have been, in the
MAN. reiteration of the substance of his
New York orations; and have been called
forth or followed by resolutions and prom
Uses quite MS indiscreet and deceptive as
those which, at the outset, led him astray
before he had fairly set foot on Staten Island
In one respect, and in one only, do we observe
any marked change, and that is in the tone of
impotence which runs through many portions
Of the speeches delivered during the last few
days. He is not disposed 10 brook delay or tri-
fling. He urges repeatedly his demand for "ma-
terial add by the Government of the United
States. and he assures both the Executive and
the Legislature that he will wait but little
longer for the response. Delay, he tells them,
he viii cmstrue into refusal.
Having already given views in reference
to the policy which KossuTH would have us to
adopt. we will now merely repeat the express
sion of our regret at his persistence in course
which must inevitably fail TO achieve the OBJ
ject he desires. and which further tends to re-
pei and ALLEVIATE large proportion of our ablest
and most influential citizens. In spite of all
his magnificent rhetoric, large majority Of
our calm thinking people prefer adherence to
the policy which has raised their country TO its
present proud position; while there are 9th
ers--and they neither few nor weal-who,
| though not decidedly averse 10 his plans, re-
irain from pronouncing Judgment for or against
them until the time for their application actu-
ally arrives. In view of these circumstances,
we regard his Philadelphia and Baltimore ad-
dresses as l-adapted TO serve his cause. They
are not likely to convince those who were be-
fore opposed TO him, and they savor toe much of
dctation to be palatable to many who were
not wholly indsposed TO render ale support for
which he pleads.
| There can be no doubt that throughout his stay
in tlis city KossUTH will receive all the attention
that is due to his services as patriot, as well as
| to his character and talents as man. We ven
ture to add, however, that his attempts to com
nit this country to an attitude of hostility to-
wards European powers, will be ineffective in
Washington. They will receive favor in no
| quarter that is entitled to consideration as an
indication of the feeling of any large portion of
the Union. In such case, the course Of wis
dom seems to be, TO receive the honors that are
in store for him, and to value them as they
should be valued; not To reject as worthless
every overture of sympathy and kindness which
may happen to fall short of his high-wrought
