AND CLOSE, IN NRw YoRk.-The whele kosguth
excitement has suddenly disappeared in New York.
1t began by . subscription OF 81 900 from Gsnin,
the halter, as q plum for Ksssuth, long before he
came here; followed up by an attack Of Cardinal
Hughes, which reused the sympathies of all the
Protestant clergy in the country On the arrival Of
Kossuth, the excitement increased; the AntfSlave-
ry Committee Of white men, the Ant-Fu9itive
Slave Law Committee of Thirteen, black mea, the
Wing Committees, generally white, and the Demo
cratic Committees, Young and Old, also generally
white, all We'd with each other in bidding highest
for the political price, at the auction set up by Kos
suth at the Irving House. Mercantile firms and
private individuals entered into the spirit Of the
contest; but the result of the whole was that the
abolitionists and free solers offered the highest
figure, and got possession of the Hung arian chief
The coup Peai of Louis Napoleon fell, like a wet
blanket, upon the fre, and extinguished it. The
excitement has passed away, and left not so much
as vestige behind. The money itself seems to
have disappeared, having probably got into the
same hands which clutched the Irish revolu-
tionary funds. in 1913. We hear no more of any
subscriptions low, no more thousand dollars Tor
Kossuth, and the system of gratuItous 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 appreciatng its principles
and advantages. We have had exiled patriots
here from various countries. We have had patriots
from Rome and patriots from Ireland We have had
Garibaldi and Avezzana 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
Slevegammen. Yet, these never excited any
sympathy, nor obtained any subscriptions, as the
sinews of war, to commence de The Irish
patriots were not even noticed by our Irish D
reetory.
Now, this is not fair play. Kessuth is always
talking Of fair piay, 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 and the Protestant clergy than Kossuth,
fer they not only wanted to put down "Anti-
christ, the beast, the scarlet bad woman of
Babylon" but they actually succeeded in driving
him to to the gates of hell, till French interven-
tion arrested their career. Ye. there was no sym.
vention invoked from the government to prevent
or put end to French intervention in Italy; and
the young republic was allowed to perish, being
straDgled 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 onets; and though this country is opposed to
the cruel tyranny of England over the gem of the
ocean, yet there was no interfering hand stretched
the Atlantic to save her patriots or to say to
the British lion, "stand back"
How strange and absurd is sometimes the
conduct OF whole communities as well that
of individuals What's become of the Irish fund
Of $4,000 up TO 100000 How comes on the
Grand Revolutionary Committed
The THREE GRAcEs OF EUROPE IN New YORK
New York is always happy and fortunate city
tor, no sooner is excitement gone than We have
another in our midst. We have just finished the
Kossuth and Kinkel excitement, and sent the Hun
aran leader off 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 ct the
tail, whi,h is about the Same thing, destined to
promote irsurrection, war, and democracy all over
Europe. And now we have here in the city, upon
the heels Of Kossuth, taree of the mos. beautiful
artists in the world-Jenny Lind, Catherine Hayes,
and Lola Montes The Swedish vocalist has en-
gagged, at the highest prices and they know ho 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 not
20 expensive, at the Clarendon while the darling
Countess Of Landselt occupies . private palace,
furnished with blue and gold furniture
in Waverley Place.
There is singular coincidence between these
lhree artistsall three have kicked away their 70
'pectlve managers. Catharine Hayes sen. her DR..
Joy across the ocean with single touch Of her toe
Jenny LiRd sent Barnum down to Connecticut,
where he has turned temperance lesturer, and has
been practising philosophy and banking ever since,
I'LL 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
The will soon finish him.
Here then they are - those three European
yrsees, beautiful and young-the queen of song
The soul Of song, and the poetess Of motion, like the
hree ancient goddesses Of heathen antiquity.-
Juno, TO whom We may compare Jenny Lind; Venus
10 whom VIC may compare Catherine Hayes and
Pallss, (called also Mnerva) to whom Lola Mon
ties bears the closest resent mblance-that phosophic
igh.ing danseass having issued from the brain Of
love full grown, in full armor, and dancing the |
Pyrrhic dance the moment she was delivered BY tho
axe Of Vulcan from the teeming brain Of the |
Thunderer. To decide authoritstivey between the |
modern rivals might be as dangerous In the result
