the political aid required is position to DO ss-
umed by the United States, to enforce upon Russia
the doctrine Of in the affairs Of her
neighbors This is subject for the consideration of
our government and people. During the present
administration, the thing is probably ont Of the
question, notwithstanding the expedency Of the
plan proposed, that the United States should sub
NIT overtuIes to this great end, for an alliance,
offensive and defensive, with Great Britain, if not
France. How far the question may enter into the
Presidential election of the coming year, has yet
be determined. The democracy of Tammsny Hall
has clearly taken the initiative step at their last
great meeting before the recent election. Events
may give further impetus to the movement, at
the proper time; but the issue will be largely con-
trolled by cotenporaneous events
Material Aid comprehends men, arms, ships, and
munitions Of war; and these all dependent upon
financial aid This material assistance in the
sinews of war must be voluntary. Whether the
organization of committees and the collection OF
subscriptions among AS, for revolutionary purposes
in other countries, is in strict accordance with in
ternational law and treaty obligations, is nice
abstract question: but practically of very little i'm
portsnee We have prece dents 70 support such pro-
ceedings to any extent. In the Greek war Of indie
peDdence, large supplies OF money, arms, munitions
and clothing were raised in this country for the su
ferng Greeks. Our people, also, if we mistake not
actively sympatbis sd with the South Americans
and the Mexicans, in their struggles with Spain for
freedom; and when Texas revol.ed against Mexico,
men, small arms, and artillery were supplied from
the United States So in the late revolt ia
Canada, running rs TO the very verge Of . casus
beli. So, likewise, in the case of Ireland. To aid
the Smith O'Brien revolution, some forty thou
and dollars were collected in this city; but
where it has gone, is to this day more prc1eund
mystery than the fna acial part of Father Mathews
benefit. Neither Archbishop Hughes, nor Greeley,
nor John McKeon, have condescended to clear it up.
But, lastly, there were some contributions raised,
even in this city, for the cause of the independence
of Cuba, under Lopez and his deluded followers.
So that there is lack precedents for the raising
of material and financial aid" for Hungary.
The next question, then, is-whas is the best
mode for raising these fiscal supplies There is
the plan of Mszzini's Italian loan in London upon
which it is said he has already succeeded in rasin
two millions Of dollars. There is the plan Of Or.
Kinkel, for the German national loan of two mil
lions, to be redeemed by the future republican
tioI aities Of Germany. There is also the plan Of
Lopez and his confederates, plsdging the publ, re-
sources &C., of the country to be conquered, to the
liquidation of the bonds In some respects, each Of
these plans may have its advantages. DR.. Kinkers,
according to certain late proceedings a. Cleveland
Ohio, is the most startling comp-ehending not only
tie liberation Of Germany, bu. Of al the slaves Of
the Southern States. But the plan Of Lola Montez
to rescue her beloved Bavaria, King and all, from
the outrageous Jesuits, is at the simplest and
the most fascinating. No doubt in The world, the
bottom Of her designs is revelation in Ba-
yaria, and that her mission to this Country is 20
raise the snews of war. She is q red repGbli-
ean-very red, with delicisrs black eyes TO boot.
Put she keeps her ewn counsels; and, under the
plea Of her personal necessities, she intends to
achieve the independence Of Bavaria by daacing.
II was the legs Of Fanny Elssler that topped ont
the Bunk sr Hill Monument. Her name is thus for
ever Identified with of the most glorious battles
Of our revolutionary struggle. Thus, we suspect,
does Lola intend to identify herself with the free
aom Of Bavaria; rot by building, but by deserving
a monument.
But, seriously, while We must admire the frank
ness and singe-heartedness with which Ksssuth
has disclosed the objects Of his visit to this country
their success is materially dependent upon the drift
of approaching events and the continuance Of popu
lar enthusiasm. Let the iron be struck while hot.
