The New York herald., 1851-12-26


excitement has suddenly disappeared in New York.
1t began by subscription OF 81 900 from Gsnin,
the halter, as a plum for Kessuth, long before hs
came here; followed up by an attack Of Cardinal
Hughes, which reused the sympsthies of all the
Protestant clergy in the country On the arrival OF
Kossuth, the excitement increased; the AntfSlsve-
ry Committee Of white men, the AntlFagitive
Slave Law Committee of Thirteen, black mea, the
Whig Committees, generally white, and the Demo
cratic Committees, Young and Old, also generally
white, all We'd with each other in bidding highest

contest; but the result of the whole was, that the
abolitionists and free soilers offered the highest

The coup fetat of Louis Napoleon fell, like a wet
blanket, upon the FIRE, and extinguished it. The
excitement has passed away, and left not so much
as yestige behind. The money itself seems to
have disappeared, having probably got into the
same hands which clutched the Irisa revolu-
tionary funds. in 1915 We hear no more Of any
subscriptions Low, no more Thousand dollars FOR
Kossuth, and the system of gratultous advertise.
ments has got slap in the face The whole Of this
business has exploded, the smoke has cleared
away, and We can now see the Kossuth excitement
in its true light.
Every man in this country is friendly to the estab-
lshment of liberty in Europe, though all Euro
Peans are not capable of apprecisting its principles
and advantages. We have had exiIed patriots
here from various countries. We have had patriots
from Rome and patriots from Ireland. We have had
Garibaldi and Apezzana from the Eternal City,
and we have had Irish exiles, who escaped, like
Kossuth, from the brief revolutionary struggle in
the Green Isle, and from the bloody field of
Slievegammen Yet, these never excited any
sympathy, nor obtained any subscriptions, as the
sinews of war, to commence 9e nogo. The Irish
patriots were not even noticed by our Irish Di-
reetory.
Now, this is not fair play. Kessuth is always
talking of fair IIay, but how little of it has been
shown to the Irish and Italian patriots The Ro-
man heroes, Avezzana and Garibaldi, ought to
have excited far more sympathy with Henry Ward
Beecher andth Protestant clergy than Kossuth,
fer they not only wanted to put down Anti
christ, the beast, the scarlet bad woman Of
Babylon" but tkey actually succeeded in driving
him to to the gates of hell, till French interven-

pathy for them-no money subscrbed-no inter-
vention invoked from the government to prevent
or put end to French Intervention in Italy; and
the young republic was allowed to perish, being
strapgled by its elder sister of France, while the
government of the model republic OF the United
states locked on in silent indifference. The rising
spirit Of liberty crushed in ireland by British
bay yonets and though this country is opposed to
the cruel tyranny Of England over the gem of the

The THREE GRAcEs OF EUROPE IN New YORK
New York is always happy and fortunate city
Tor, sooner is exciteme gone, than We have
another in our midst. We have just finished the
Kossuth and Kinkel excitement, and sent the Han
garian leader of to Philadelphia with flying colors;
having first established grand revolutionary com.
mittee for Financial and material aid,' in the
Astor House, with Barnum at the head, or at the
tail, whi.h is about the Same thing, destined to
promote insurrection, war, and democracy all over
Europe. And now We have here ia the city, upon
the heels Of Kossuth, taree of the mos. beautiful
artists in the world-Jenny Lind, Catherine Hayes,
and Lola Monies. The Swedish vocalist has en-.
gagged, ct the highest prices and they know no to
charge there,) splendid suite of apartments at the
Union Hotel and the fair daughter OF Erin has en-
gagged an equally splendid suite of rooms, but rot

Countess of Landsfelt occupies . private palace,
beautifully furnished with blue and gold furniture
in Waverley Place.
There is a singular coincidence between these
three artists-all three have kicked away their re-
spective managers. Catharine Hayes sen. her DR..
Joy across the with single touch Of her toe.
Jenny Lind sent Barnum down to Connecticut,
where he has turned temperance le,turer, and has
been practiripg philosophy and banking since,
till he took up the revolution in Europe. Lola
Montez kicked of Roux in France, but he sticks TO
her STILL and has followed her across the ocean, but
she will soon finish him.
Here then they are - those three European
