that the democrats carried the city Tuesday last and
elected their mayor. alderman and by triumph
ant majories This result must be peculiarly gratifying
10 our democratic friends, simply because j; is the
first time for several years that the democrats have
ried the city, but because it most probably reflects the

kossuth, Captain Long and Consul Hodge.

kossuta, Captain Long and Consul Hodge.
We publish on our first page, to-day, the
correspondence between these gentlemen.
We know not what justice there may be in
uttributing TO the last named individual, the
letter written from Marseilles, in which the
conduct of Kossuth was commented upon
with great freedom and severity, though we
gather from this correspondence, that it was
by no means reported with any very gross ex.
aggeralion. Combining ourselves, entirely, to
what we have before US, in an authentic form,
we are compelled to confess that we see no
reason whatever for the censure which is cast
upon the Consul. Kossuth had asked to be
permitted 10 pass through France. The 60.
vernment, Republican in name, but arbitrary
in fact, had refused its permission, as it had
an undoubted right TO do. Kossuth sent the
letter of refusal to public journal, and it was
published. The consequence was very con-
siderable degree Of excitement, as is apparent
from this correspondence. The government
complained to the American Consul, and that
functionary simply requested kossuh not to
send any more letters TO the journal in ques-
lion, since the TACT OF MS OOlnS SO compromised
the American flag. In all this we cannot see
that he transcribed the strict line of his duty,
or gave the slightest occasion for the torrent of
bad English and worse grammar, with which
the Hungarian sought to overwhelm him. If
an American citizen had done the same thing,
and the American Consul had met the act in
thu same manner, there would not have been
expressed a doubt with regard to the propriety
of his course. Now, we are one of those who
cannot see that an invited foreign guest is en-
titled to more privileges on board an American
ship of war, than native born American. Mr..
Hodge, as Consul, was, we take it, bound to
see that the flag Of his country was not COM
promised. He had the best reason to believe
that it had been, and he would have been no
true officer if he had not taken care to prevent
a repetition of the act.
As for the manning of the rigging by the
seamen, &C., we think it must be regarded as
nothing more nor less than fragrant breach
of discipline.
