mystifcation as to what the great Magyar
means by intervention for the sake of non
Intervention He wants us, first, to tell
Russia that she must not JOIN forces with
Austria if Hungary again rises up in arms
and then, if Russia don't heed, we ale tc
have recourse to the more potent logic Of
army and navy. In short we must declare
war against the despot of St. Petersburgh
and fight it out. Divested of the charming
yet deluslve language in which Kossuth con.
trives to enrobc his ideas, war, war to the
knife, is his meaning of intervention on the
part OF the United States in the affairs of Eu.
rope
And the Evening Mirror of Saturday
speaks thus:
"The speech of M. Kossuth was fat
footed demand for Intervention to prevent
Intervention, with frank avowal that such
a demonstration might lead to war and in
that event there must be no backing out
This is precisely the sequence which we
have from the beginning of this revolution
ary movement foreseen and foretold, and
we are glad that the great Hungarian has
had the boldness at last, after two weeks
feeling of the American pulse, to reduce HI:
programme of operations to the '.innocent
little word of only three letters-W-A-R !!
We now understand him. Let him not mis-.
understand us.
"The attempt TO put down the venerable
Judge Duer, who, after exhausting super
latives in praise of the distinguished guest
begged leave to dissent from some of the
propositions ofthe revolutionary programme
illustrates the madness ofthe hour. 1t was q
melancholy comment upon our boosted free
dom of opinion, to see the Radicals of Tam
many Hall insulting by Kisses man equal.
" venerable in wisdom and in years. But
the voice of Nestor could not be heard in the
crazy camp of the Revolutionists. The
Young Fillabusters of the Bar, stimulated tc
deeds of impudence by the esprit of the &C.
casion," drowned even the clarion tones Of
the eloquent and venerable Jurist, who was
compelled to sit down, while the Young
Democracy mounted the chairs yelling GU
their "appeals from the Judge to the PEG.
ple." o, it was a dlsgraceful scene; but
ONLY foretaste of what is to come, wher
this tide of rampant Radicalism, which il
surging higher and higher, shall sweep al
before it, respecting neither the rights o
property nor the rights of person-no, MOI
the gray hairs which consecrate even the err
mine ofthe Judiciary" o.ne
The Richmond Dispatch says:
To form some faint idea Of what Kossutl
expects Of us, it may be proper to say, tha
IN his speech at Brooklyn, he represented
the Hungarian war as costing $35, 900, 900,
and he tells us it was very cheap war;
He says, moreover, that the Hungarians
raised and sent to the field 200, 900 men,
These were completely overcome by the u
nited forces of Russia and Austria; whence
it follows, that il we wish to render any eff:
fectual aid, we must send much larger
force than this, and spend much larger
amount of money. Where are the troops
to come FROM We never could get ten
thousand together even in the Mexican war
How are we to get together 200 600! The
gentleman at the dinner, all of whom, ex-
cept Mr.. Duer, mean, of course,to 60, num-
Der only 200. You must multiply this mum.
Der by 1000, if you would have the full
quota.
