TEE TRIBUNE AND KossUTH.
II may be expected that VIC should make
some remarks in reply TO an article which ap-
pcarcd in the Tribune Of the End inst. We dis
like to make unnecessary words upon subject,
reader, but as the editor has shown disposition,
quite unusual for him, to dignity his article
with an effort at argument, and from his posi-
tive manner of assertion, without proof, might
have left an erroneous impression upon the
minds of his readers, we feel called upon to
lock horns with him and try the strength of his
position, and his capabilities for handling it.
The editor appears disposed: to lose sight en-
tirely of the question properly at issue between
US and to stray off upon one of minor impor-
lance. The fact charged in our article of Nov.
oath that the organs of the Administration were
down on kossuth, although stouty denied in the
first article of the Tribune, h1s been studously
avoided ever since; and an unimportant qu:s-
ton raised, as to whether the disgracetul letter
of The American Attache appeared in the col
umns Of the Washington Republic. Well, sup
pose that it did not appear in that journal, and
that our statement to that effect was erroneous,
viii this acknowledgment relieve the wing party
from the labored articles in the "National Intel
hgencer," the New York Express "Couriel
and Enquirer" "Times," "Baltimore Patriot,
"Newark Advertiser" s'Columbus (Ohio) Jour
NAL" and many other Wing organs which might
be named if necessary, denunciatory of the
Hungarian patriot These journals have made
bold, reckless and mercenary effort to destroy
a man, who, thus far, has given no plausible
reason for offence, much less for the bitter and
denuncatory language which has characterized
their opposition.
Even worse than all this, II is now aathortta-
sirely stated in New York, that Kossuth, long
before he left the ship Mississippi, forwarded
te our government at Washington, detailed
statement of his reasons for his intended visit to
England and the necessity for his leaving the
United States vessel.
These dispatches or letters must have been in
the possession of the government at Washing
ton, at the very time the s4ntelligencer" was
laden with the Attaches letter and the "Repub-
lie was throwing cold water upon the demon
stration in his behalf. Yet the ssT'ribune is silly
enough to claim that the administration and IFS
organs are the especial friends of the patriot
To the dogs with such friendship.
But the editor has unwittagly displayed where
his real sympathies arc, and how rsuch conf
dence he has in the position he is attempting TO
sustain. He says:
avery well informed person knows that the
city Of New York is cursed with public jour
nals which are utterly destitute of any principle,
and only live by making blow about something
every day, to excite attention, sell their issues,
and make money. They puff Kossuth a
matter of business, because it sells their papers,
and as they make a business of putting him, of
course they do it louder than any body else
They would puff Lola Monies, or any other
dsreputable character, just as furinusly, If they
thought it likely TO pay as well, all things con
sidered."
Permit US 10 enquire, what is the natural in
ference of this language' Is it not that the ed
itor drinks in the very spirit which has ANNA
ted these journalists and exhibits a cold and
heartlcss indifference to the sufierings and pri-
vations from which kossuth has but recently
escaped, II not, why does nc seek TO throw
ridicule upon the demonstration ian New York,
BY an onslaught upon the Journals of that City
and an odieus comparison between the patriot
and Lola .Monfes, ,chom he styles disreputabte
character. If he has word of consolation
for the Hungarian, let him restrain his detestabc
comparisons within the sphere OF respectable
and digni6ed opposition.
