Editors Southern Press;
Gentlemen; There have been certain proceed
ings here in connection with the hurras of the
last week to the great Magyar, which will chal
lenge the attention OF the South.
First. II is not generally known that number
of misguided foreigners, the over-zealous friends
of Archbishop Hughes, attempted riot on last
Saturday night week. on the occasion of the
torch-light procession and the serenade ut the
Irving House. Why! Because Archbishop
Hughes and the Catholic journals of this country
have tnken umbrage at the praise which Kossuth
has bestowed upon the English government and
people, while at the same time the ecclesiastical
exclusion bill of the English Parliament hangs
over the Catholic hierarchy of the British is
land making it criminal offence to attempt to
carry out certain notorious bill of the Pope.
In addition to this, Kossuth in his speeches on
England made several allnsions to the Jesuite 5
as for example, the following:
"But | look confidently to several great asso-
ciations in England for the great cause of which
| am one humble rcpres sentative. hope the
cause will be supported by religious associations,
as in Hungary freedom Circumstance is put down
by despotism. Even in these very days the
Professionals of Hungary shut their schools be-
cause they are forced by government to surren-
der education, or to give it into the hands of the
Austrian Jesnitcal government"
But worse than ALL Kossuth is the missionary
of a projected continental revolution in Europe,
which, if successful, will inevitably sweep away
the Popedom as a temporal authority, and posi-
bly, leave no resting place in Europe for the Wis
ibIe head of the Catholic church. The projected
revolution involves the possible destruction Of
the splendid establishment of the church of
Rome, and the substitution of republic in lieu
of the temporal sovereignty of the Pope.
On Saturday the 9th inst an effort was made
to break up the Kossuth serenade, but the de-
tachment was too strong, and the melee was in
definitely postponed The writer of this was
in that crowd, and it was evident there was
something in the wind. of which we obtained
the clue the next morning
Again, on Wednesday last on the occasion of
the visit Of 5000 European republicans to pay
their respects to Kossuth, at the Irving House,
headed by Gen. Avazzana, the following scene
took place. We give you the account from the
Journal of Commerce:
"Since the arrival of Kossuth, Mr.. Howard
had displayed from the parapet of his establish
ment, the Turkish, English and American flags
the latter occupying the central and most lofty
position. On Wednesday, simultaneous with
the reception of the Italian committee, an assem-.
blage Of several thousand persons (many of
whom came as the representatives of the repub
licans of Europe) collected before the house,
Considerable boisterousness prevailed, and in the
midst of it. several unknown persons entered
the building, greatly excited, apparently, rs
agents of those outside, and exclaimed, M.
Howard Mr.. Howard There are 5000 per
sons in the street. who are greatly displeased
with the appearance of the English flag on your
house, and threaten, in case you do not take it
down, to remove il themselves Mr.. Howard,
not knowing the object of the gathering, and
fearing rotous demonstration, replied that he
would remove the English flag, or all of them.
or tear down the balcony if it was desired, for
it was always his wish to conform to public SEN
ment.' The flag wss forthwith removed, and
all evidence of dissatisfaction ceased"
Next, you will have observed how hand |
somely kossuth snubbed the Abolitionists. |
But they are persevering set. On Friday last,
hey got up dePntation of free negroes to wait |
upon kossulh at the Irving House, and the com |

oroprietors of the Irving House, as we are au
