The Now York EIeralds Washington CORES
pondent. says that communications have been
received in that city calculated to dampen the
enthusiasm in bohnlf Of Kossuih.
Have the toadics who hoped to make capi-
tai out Of his glorifcation, found him mprac-
ticablc; Have they found that his love for
freedom is not like their own, sham--and
that he is in good faith, the friend Of wtircrsai
freedom. For the honor Of tAc race, VIC hope
go. OF this VIC are sure, he could not commit
more damning crime in tho esteem of this Gov
crnment and nation, than really to be what these
men have represented him. Let him only in
seords advocate in America, ;hc principles he
vindicated by the seord in Hungary, and
Fillmore and Webster would hang him for
traitor in Washington with as good will as
would the Emperor and Hanau in Austria.
We do hope he may not visit our country,
under the circumstances proposed. We have
too sincere u love for our county to desire to
witness the exhibitions of bald hypocrisy which
our people propose to make on the OCCASION
We have too sincere a regard FOR the principles
of fKossutb, to be willing that our American ty-
rants should the better be enabled to crush
them, by heaping honors upon his head. This,
and this only, is their object. We would not
have tho terrible guilt of this nation increased by
corrupting the heart of this warrior for freedom.
With deliberate intent, Fillmore and Webster,
and Clay, and Cass, and Buchanan, and others,
have reached across the Atlantic, aud would
seize the heart of the hero, now purified by his
affections, and glowing with the pure love of
freedom-they would corrupt it with their own
iicndish principles, and thus prepare it for an
other offering TO their Moloch.
If Kossuth comes as they propose, it will be
almost q miracle If they fail Of success. In
saying this, We offer no disparngemont to the
Magyar. Wo honor him. for We tolieve him to
bo the friend of liberty, aud therefore the friend
of man. The spirit of his communications to
his countrympn-to the Turks and to our
countrymcn, we have admired. His address TO
the citizens of the United States recently pub ,
lished, combines the facts of tho Magyar strus- /,
gle, with thrilling interest and cvinces mind
not limited by sectarian ties or cast. But not
wthstanding this, VIC can but fear that the Ian
guagc which Henry w. Beecher puts in the
mouths of his rcvered Doctors, will prove pro-
phetic That if he comes among us and receives
our adulatons, he will conclude "that circum-
stances alter cases." That "ho will be changed
from Magyar to un American patriot"
No efforts will be left untried to effect this
Misrepresentation of every form will be employ
cd. Slave breeders ard oversccrs will be the
loudcst champions for freedom, and the most
terrible dcnouncers Of tyrants. The penurious
wretehes who starve their own nurses, and
broil the unclothed backs of their own daugh-
tiers in tho cotton field, will extend to him q
princcly hospitality Not only will individu-
ais do this--the government will also pretend
to be the friend of the fugitive from slavery
1t sends its noble steam ship to meet HIM IN

fugitivcs who freghted the Pearl, have airead!
sunk to the grave under their authority oil ar
held in slavery which compels them to look
long for the grave as their only friend and de
liverer.
Alas how many ore the mighty that hav
fallen before this observation-disclosures of unright
cousncss'-the corrupting influences OF Amer
lean Slavery. The whole church, despite tn
stcrnness of its puritan ancestry, lies passiV
within the embrace of the charmer. Our III
roes and statesmen, mon Of science and Of le
tcrs, obsequiously do its bidding-and who's
ever would depart from it makcth himself
prev, The whole world abroad bows beio
its influence. The most distinguished champ
ons of freedom beyond the waters arc snitt'
with silence in its presence, or worse, numb
themselves with the enemies OF the slave, VIII,

Whol we ask il with sorrow and wi
shame--who, Of all the champions OF Europe
freedom, whether exiles or voluntary emigran
or visitors, has erer stood ipon our shores
friend Of he Slarsl Alas among them
there is out one GEoRGE Thompson. lie of
the mulitudes wlro being nbolitionists or rev
lutionists at home--when standing in the pr
enco of this guilty nation, has dared to Tebu
its sin. Would that Kossuth might take
noble stand beside him. The honors he has
ready won by his sta;csmanship and swo
will be the envy of multitudos. But conn
among US as he docs at this crisis, he ha
chance to secure himself lnurcls that can ne
wither. lie will inevitably win them, if he
hero enough to brave tho terrors Of Ameri'
tyrants, as he has the less cxccrablc, beca
less hypocritical ones Of Europe.
