egregiously deceived-he was deceived, not only
by the strong, infexible phalanx OF 1.-THE higher

at Washington shows the extent Of his disappoint-
ment and chagrin. They told him that his real
strength in the convention had never been de-
yeloped and that combination of adverse elements
prevented his friends Of the South from coming over
to his support. Mr.. Webster regretted it, because

ballots never carried him beyond some thirty votes
would stand us Justification Of history; and to
say the least Of it, after having been set aside, not
only as long Mr.. Clay was deemed available but
also for General Harrison, because he was general
and for General Taylor, because he was a general,
was it not asking little too much of Mr.. Webster,

should again yield the wall to General Scott, be-

KossUTH GOING, AT LAsT.-We have seen it an.
nounced in the Kossuth journals, that their hero
and demigod sails from this to Europe, in the Wash
ington, on Saturday of this week. During the last
few weeks Kossuth has been living up town, in pri
waite apartments, in of the cross streets, and
has been employing his time in settling the details
of his recent Hungarian fund agencies-arranging
the plan Of future European revolutions making
startling contracts for munitions of war-drawing
out creeds for German politicians-and leaving be-
hind him arguments against the policy of Washing
ton and the fathers of this republic. The admirers
of Kossuth, however, differ very widely in opinion
to the character of his recent mission. the results
of his labors, and the nature ofhis prospects OF kick
ing up arevoluton in Europe. One set ofworshppers
represent that Kossuth has been very much disap-
pointed at the results of his patriotic mission to the
United States. The magniloquent orators Of Staten
Island on his first landing, raised hopes in his mind
that he could collect fund OF at least several mil
lions Of dollars, combine feet Of various Ships and
carry the whole country by coup ne main in favor
OF Hungarian independence He has become cha
grined and mort6edthat the results ofal these mag
nifcent promises have only amounted to ninety
thousand dollars-a sum hardly sufficient to pay
for the secondhand guns and munitions Of war. and
for the Ohio saddles, for which he had contracted in
the early period Of his campaign Indeed, it is said
that the "Bloody Revolutionary Committee got
up by certain speculators-have contrved to get
their fingers the greater part of the ninety thou
sand dollars in payment Of these useless implements
besides involving poor Kossuth in contracts for ba-
lances DUE for which he has nothing to give in pay
ment except Hungarian bonds, dated in 1852 at
New York, and payable, with six and half per cent
interest during the week before the day of judgment
We arc very much disposed to suspect that Kos
suth xvbiIa he hunhu oil tha American nao
pie with his five hundred speeches. and his brilliant
prospects of creating revolutions in Europe, was
much more seriously leeced and humbugged by
set Of spectators in muske Try and munitions of war;
who got hold of him on his first advent in New
York. He would not allow the revolutionary com
mitce any control over the money that was contri-
buted 70 the Hungarian fund in this country; but
these ingenious operators contrived, through the
medium Of contracts for guns, saddles, a other
military trappings, to get every dollar Of his ninety
thousand, besides making him liable for a very
heavy balance due. In fact, some Of the same per-
sonages who got hold Of the forty thousand dollars
contributed by the Irish to get up revolution in
Erin, few years ago, managed to get hold of Kos
suh in the same way, during his career in this
try.
Kossuth, we have no doubt, leaves the country
with very different feelings from those which Animal
ed him on his arrival. He misun lerstood his posi-
tion from the jump, and never realized the nature
of the reception given to him here. His arrogance
and conceit led him to believe that while he was
making impudent speeches, impugning the sacred
policy Of Washington and Of Clay, he was winning
the public APPRECIATION He was not aware that the
great bulk of his audiences was, in fact doing the
same as putting their fingers to their noses and per-
forming gyrations in the air. The American PEG.
pie are far more intelligent on public affairs than
even Kossuth, or any of the humbug republicans Of
Europe. We, in this country, are practical repdb-
icans not visionary ones; and all the idle and i'm
pertinent nonsense which revealed in Kossuth's
speeches, produced deeper impression and left
