the kossuth reception yesterday it is estimated
that there were 200. 600 people in the streets,
The barouche which Kossuth was in was the same
a. used by the President on his recent visit to
NewYork, and was drawn by six beautiful bay
horses kossuth was dressed in beautiful black
coat, collar, cuffs, Hungarian hat and feather.
hossuth durlng the procession said the appearance
OF the soldiers was not only beautiful but perfect
=, At the conclusion of the procession yesterday,
Aossuth reviewed the troops in the Park, which
occupied an hour and half. The military display
was the greatest ever seen in NewYork.
The Journal of Commerce. a paper which seems
generally to preserve its balance in great commo.
flons, has an article on Kossuth which we trust
will have some effect on the zeal of the New
Workers. We make the following extract:
We have seen Kossuh We have heard him

The eloquence of an honest man, deep 10 his feel.
ings, earnest in his purposes, frankly speaking
what he thinks. We were astonished at the bold.
ness with which he told, at the first opportunity
he has had to speak to the people of the United
States, what he wanted, what he expected, what
he thought they ought to do. 1t 10 shame to give
such man words from our mouths which we do
not mean to make good with our hands vet, the
very first spoken to him, he himself says antci
pated all his wishes and promised in advance all
are and lakes us at our word, and hopes 10 return
to his beloved Hungary furnished by US with the
means of restoring its liberties by force of arms.
He is impatient of delay. Glorious visions of
the future already fill his dreams, and he expects
ere long to awake and find them true But are not

on the impulse of a generous courtesy, passed a
final and emphatic resolve to disregard the wisdom
Of our ancestors to turn aside from those courses
which have hitherto proved our safety, to "leave
our own and stand on foreign ground!" We all
know that We have done no such thing and no
one knows that we ever will do it. II cannot be
done till the sober second thoughts of the whole
people has expressed itself in favor of it, and wise
men will want to think seven times-yea, seventy
times seven, before they bid adeu to their senses
=" Let the orators who address Ko.suth take nat.
tern from him, and speak sober and guarded truth.
As he asks no less than he wants, let them promise
no more than we will give. We will give him an
enthusiastic welcome, q generous entertainment as
the nation . guest, and offer him a permanen,
home; and When he leaves to sound the resur.

give him our good wishes and our prayers, Bul
we will not give up to him our peace, prosperity
and successful progress. We will not leave ouI

sentiments of the people of the United States
though they may have been ambitious TO take ad
