tAhLfl.t says tiiut Tie maxim y NO ulan IN y
hero to his valet de-chambre," is worthy of the
utterance OF the sentiments valet might be ex
pected TO entertain. The little mind, intent OF
little things, can neither appreciate nor honor
true greatness, il must indulge in It's small sneers
and petty carping. The detractors of KossUTH
should be mindful of this, and reflect that, like
the disappointed mob, who Kissed an eclipse OF
the sun that did not please their nice tastes,
they may possibly enjoy the benefits Of the
rdcule intended for him
The shrillest and most captious comments we
have seen, emanate from the editor OF the
Richmond Wing. Listen TO his greeting to the
great Magyar
Editorial Correspondence.

Well get ready your enthusiasm let bon
| fires be prepared, rockets be charged enough to
light the whole sky, the artillery stand prompt
to thunder forth salvos and the shouts of all
throats that would not be suspected OF GOODNESS
to the cause Of the worlds freedom" muster
their utmost din Especially let DR.. Stenmetz
and his Red Republican society, that are going
to do US the honor and the grace Of taking the
management of this government into their
hands. and remodeling it to a French pattern,
come forth and assume the lead in the approach
ing jubilee For the great Kossuth is, il seems,
about to vouchsate us a visit, after all. He only
stays for while in England, to set a.going
Hungarian subscriptions there; perhaps will
touch in Ireland and revive +" the rent there,

which has never been heard of since the mighty

more Hungarian revolutions, he will repair to
this country indulge us with the heroical sight
of great warrior who, Gas far as | can learn,)
never went into battle, and collect Of our dis
Greet and well Uniformed admiration the repub-
lican tribute of million of dollars or SO, well
bestowed in trying conclusions over again with
the armies of Austria, and the endless forces of
Russia. Mine may be a rather incredulous
mind, but | find it hard to believe in the new
heroes of freedom.
And again, in conclusion.
BE all this az it may, cannot bring myself
to discover any likelihood in the protested pur-
pose for v hich Master Kossuth is about to levy
large contributions upon us and our cousin
Bull---the two most knowing nations in the
world; but yet tne must gulbe by anything
that will assume the name of freedom. | can
not believe that the willy Hun has the least idea
of riskfng his neck again within the reach of
Russia and Austria. I'll warrant that he don't
go back. l'll wager not a little that the money
he raises will 60 where the Irish rent" vent
where the crown jewels of Hungary went, when
he and they took to fight in company.
see that Captain Long considers himself
bound to disavow the stories of Kossuth's i'll
behavior to him. That is perhaps only be-
coming on Capt Longs part; he is bound to
gloss over, as well as he can, every thing in the
conduct of his and the nations guest which
was not altogether intoerable 1t is neverthe-
less clear that the Hun has acted with great in
science and folly
suppose, however, that, when he shall arrive
and begin to travel the country, he will draw"
famousy and beat all the theatrical {" stars" that
have preceded him. He will eclipse not only
Jenny Lind but Tom Thumb. IT'S said here
that the great Barnum is in treaty with him, and
has offered him a magnificent engagement So
