that the receipts Of the Post Office De-

The quarter ending on the 50th Sep

Such we deem to be the evident spirit of Kos
suth's so-called "fing at the Pope" Entertain
ng this view supported, as we consider we are,
by the text, we cannot but regret the premature
ebullton of feeling exhibited by the Bishop on
the occasion referred to- In the view that we
have here taken of the spirit and intention of
Kossuth we are strongly sustained by his sub
sequent great speech at Birmingham, in which
he holds the following language, viz:-'The
cause of Hungary is the cause of civil and re-
ligious liberty" | am myself protestant, not
only by BIRTH but by conviction But | declare
that would struggle with equal enthusiasm for
the rights of my Catholic counrymen, as for the
protestants. .Nyprincipte is Matthe church shonld
not meddie aosM politics, ard that governments
should not meddte mjh religion. Even with
regard to church property Idifer from the views
of some rcformcrs, for hold all property to be
sacred, and ! would not dcprire the Catholic
Church of the property aohich oar former Kings
hare gieen her, while would leave the church
to distribute it amongst her clergy as she pleas
ed" The foregoing was received with repeated
and tremendous cheering, and so far as any
filings are concerned, it is replete with studied
severity against the English Government. For
any one who knows anything about history, is
familiar with the disposition that was made of
the property of the Catholic Church IN England
by those retormers to whom Kossuth so deli.
cately, but plainly alluded. But our object in
introducing this, is to show that in it, is contain
ed a complete vndcaton of any intention on the
part of Kossuth, in his former speech, to make
''hing at the Pope" as such, but only to brand
a union of Church and State, with that condem-
nation which will find an echo in every liberal
mind.
We consider it unfortunate that the Bishop
made his great speech before that of Kossuth
at Manchester reached our shores We under
take to say, that had the Bishop read the liberal
sentiment above quoted, he would have held
back his philippe against the patriotic exile.
The miners' express. (Dubuque, Iowa) 1849-1854, 1851-12-17
THE KCssUTH SPEECH.

In this day paper, we publish the speech OF
Louis Kossuth, on his arrival and reception by
the authorities of the City OF New York, at Cas-
tie Garden. This speech, like all Of the Hunga-
rian's efforts, is forcible and eoquent-repete
with good sense, patriotism and fervent and a
never dying attachment for his down-trodden
and oppressed people.
If, in pcrusing this speech, we have drawn a
correct conclusion of the sentiments sought to
be impressed upon Americans, by the author
namely-that lie desires active aid, in the shape
of men, money, and munitions of war, from the
United States, to assist in restoring Hungary to
freedom, we must admit that we seriously CUES
ton the propriety and expediency Of such a
course. Such step, would involve the neces-
sity Of a war upon nearly every government Of
the world, for the overthrow OF despotism and
the substitution of repubicansm. We may very
properly EXPIRE IS cur sympathies with the unfor
tunate people Of other and more arbitrary gov
ernmcnts, and may use all pacific means for re-
forming such governments and mitigating the
sufierings of their subjects; but we apprehend it
would be very questionable policy, to hazard
national reputation and safety, by formally de-
clarng war against the dcspotisms of the whole
world
