KOssUYH AND THE DEMOCRACY.
Recent developments show conclusive

the decided tendency of Locofocoism to-
wards an abandonment of the great Wash
instonian policy of non-intervention. The
new-light and pernicious doctrines announc-
ed and advocated by LOUIS KossUTH are
precisely suited to the tastes and temper of
Modern Democracy. Hence we find the
principle of foreign policy advanced by the
willy Hungarian unequivocally endorsed by
Tammany Hall, and boldly announced as a
prominent plank in the platform upon which
the Democratic party intend to stand in
1852.
An interview took place IN New York
on Wednesday last between KossUTH and
Deputation from the General Democratic
Committee of New York bearing certain res
olutions from Tammany Hall. Mr.. SIcKLEs
who headed the deputation made an ad-
dress, in which he stated, that, if the Dem
ocratic party had been in power in 1S49,
our whole influence would have been effect
,ue1y exerted to maintain the Republics Of
Hungary and Rome; that public opinion
will compel any administration in any flu
ture contest that may arise to demand "fair-
play."' Mr.. S. then read the resolutions, in
which ic is asserted that the time has come
whsn 1--WE should inaugurate a policy both
commercial and political, embodying our
principles, asserting our rights and enforc-
ing oar examples; !" finally, that the Demo-
cratic party, rejecting "the dogmas of neu-
trality IN our foreign policy" and adopting
the principles above referred to, will enter
the political field in 1852 with their flag
borne aloft by dauntess progressive and
radical Democrat.
AS matter Of course, KossUTH received
this manifesto Of Democracy in behalf of
Hungary with great deal ofrelish. What
ever else may be said Of him, he is sincere
in his devotion to his country. and very nat
urally avals himselfofevery thing that may
favor her restoration. We therefore find him
expressing the greatest satisfaction thatthere
is in the United States party to pronounce
principles, which if carried out scOuld con-
summate his object.
Another indication of the procllvity of
Democracy to interfere with the affairs of
other nations, is found in the resolutions Of
fered in the Senate of the United States by
Mr.. WALKER, of Wisconsin. These reso-
lutions embody KossUTH's views of foreign
policy,san inquire into the expedlency of
requesting the President ofthe United States
to cause negotiations to be opened with all
other constitutional governments, with a
view and to the end of obtaining their CO.
operation with the United States in the OBJ
seryance, defence and maintenance Of the
law ofnations.
From these developments it is manifest
that there will be an organized Democratic
movement against the hitherto cherished
and almost universally respected policy of
our government in reference to foreign ma
tons. We are invited to cut loose from our
old mornings and embark upon a grand Ma
tional Fill buster expedition. Such cru
SADIE may find favor with the radical run
mad portion of the Locofoco party but We
feel assured that the sober, thinking con-
sentative masses of all parties will take
decided stand against it-especially in the
South.
