CORRESPONDENCE of the Baltimore Sum-

WASHINGTON, December IA.
The Kossuth resolution which passed the Senate
on Friday last will be sent through the House under
the submerged propeller of the previous question.
1t Will pass Tomorrow believe, and the President
will act upon it Immediately.
Kossuth's speeches are read here with wonder and
amazement. He is, undoubtedly, the greatest orator
of the day, and there is profound knowledge of his
tory and the elevation of the statesman in all he says
He is not dreamer but to all intenis and purposes
practical man.
As to how far our government may be impelled
by his views, is altogether a matter OF american
policy. This continent is times large that
of Europe, and we cannot make the destiny of the
greater body depend the fate of the smaller
This would be contrary to the law Of universal grav-
itation.
Nor can we declare against the doctrine of in
tervention; because sound logic would require that
we should not only protest agains: Russia, which
has now Withdrawn her troops from Hungary, but al
so against France which maintains, still, army OF
blood hounds on the classic soil of Rome The time
will no doubt come when the United States will in
tervene successfully in the affairs Of the world bu,
that time is not yet. And we may then intervene
not only to maintain nonintervention" hut we may
choose to take sides. as France and England at the
battle of Navarno, took sides with humanity agains
sume an attitude which would prevent US from re-
naming masters of our own destiny.
This country cannot make its fate depend on tn,
fate of bates in Europe though it ought shrnl
from the expression Of manly sympathy for ever,
nation that dares to assert its right selfgovern
ment. Public opinion in this country is power-i
is the government itsel-and hence the expression
our opinion carries force with it which will be sui
fciently understood and appreciated in Europe.

kOSSUTH IN NEW YORK.

Gov. kossuth is still the object of the highest and
most constant attention in New York. On Saturday
night last he attended the Astor Place Opera House,
and on his entrance the whole audience rose and
cheered him three times in the most enthusiastic
manner. He has attended Church several times in
New York. the observed of all. Depuation after
depusaon continues to wait upon him, from all class
es and orders Of society; and his replies replee
with genius, hope for Hungary, shrewdness, and conf
mon sense.
Although he had been in the United Stetes but ten
days, it is stated that up Saturday last he had re-
ceived forty official addresses from public bodies, all
congratulating him on his arrival, and expressing
sympathy with his cause; also twelve especial invi-
tations to visit different cities and towns and nearly
three hundred private letters from individuals,
tanning sentiments of the warnest character both for
him and Hungary. Letters are daily pouring in upon
him, and his correspondence is immense, not only in
America but in almost all the countries of Europe.
Kossuth has sgni6ed his intention of proceeding
to Washington in few days. He says he is anxious,
" as soon possible to 60 to Washington, there to
express personally his humble thanks for the proec

We learn from the Fayetteville Observer, that

engaged for some months past on survey OF por-

been confined to the Cape Fear bars and New Inlet.

The following lines are So good in themselves, and

latofs, or any body else. Besides, the Editor has
endeavored to do his duty during the past year and
he would like to have two or three days, [what Ed
itor ever had more time, which he could call his
own y to enable him to bring up heavy and exten-
sive correspondence and also take survey of the
labors that await him during the next year. which,
judging by all the signs, is destined to be most
morable in our political annals.

We wish a merry and happy Christmas to all
readers. May each return of this halowed festi

and may it find those who tempered by the course
of years, stricken with age, in that condition o
calm enjoyment which is the unfaing result of hon.
