The Aossrth Intervention E1eitement-
It's Progress thrsugh the States.
The kossuth Intervention excitement still goes
ahead, like great SNOWFALL, increasing in size -
it rolls-rires Gequirii ess,do Il proceeds from
State to State, enrolling fresh converts in each; and
seems likely 10 extend over the whole Union, fro m
Maine to Texas.
Already in the following States has tho Kossuth
doctrine been introduced, and, in some OF them,
resolutions passed, moro less strong, but all Of
them recognizing and advocating the principle Of
active sympathy in European affairs in general,
and in the cause Of Hungary in particular =
New York, Ohio,
Massachusetts, kentucky,
Maine. Indiana
Pennsylvania, Tennessee.
Maryland, Alabama.
II tho mevement proceeds over The Union at this
rats-erabracing North, East, West, and South
it is goipg TO produce 40 great an effect upon the
politics OF the country, and its external rcla
tions, as tho Texan excitement in I51' or the ad
vent of the IIish exiies 70 or shores, after the
abortive insurettion il $" ths Emerald Isle," ia
1893. 1. is well known that the first Organization,
tho struggle, and final success, OF tho democratic
patty. IN .ho time OF jefferson, grew out Of umlsr
the bossuth excitement.
The Enmets, the Simpsons, and the other
Irish Iatiiots Of that day, were received with
the same tslat "a ho;suth they we-c ho-
rorcd with the same tripmpha in New York,
ard in the city of Philadelphia, which wts
hen the seat Of the general government. Tho
popular excitement rose &c high then az now, and
the triamphs OF the ezles were much Tie same
Some ofthem were, by special act os the Logisla-
ture Of this State, enrolled members OF tho bar,
and admitted to practice st once, without sny
previous legal education or training in our courts
III received public honors or fsyors Of some kind
o. other.
The Irish sym pathetic movement Of that Day
tended to produce an entire revolution in tho do
mestic policy OF tue government Of ice coun-
try. John Adams opposed it, and Sc did RusIs
King, Tho American Minister at London, who,
Ike Louis Napoleon in the case Of Kossuth, went
the length OK insisting that the Irish exi.os
should not be permitted to lard in tie United
States, or if they landed, that they should be
expelled as dangerous frebrands. Adams and his
party failed; and the democratic party, under tbe
tremendous excitement Of that day, completely
tIium phed.
In tie PRESENT day, both parties a.. running
into the mania, together with a third party that
did not then exist. There is general rush in the
Northern states. among the democrats, wings, and
free soicTs, 10 see who will be able to appropriate
the excitement started by Bossush as an element
Of success fer the coming eloctiors Just nov, il is
difficult TO determine whi:h Of the three parties are
most deeply immersed in the popular fanaticism,
The young politicians Of the wings are perfectly
crazy on the subject; and the youthful der ocra.s,
WHO rejoice in tho "Siyic and title of "YoUog
America" seom to be equally insane while the cum
ming, energetic free soil faction arc working like
moles in the dark to ou.s.rip both parties, AMI
epgross hossuth and mis- movement entirely to
themselves. Which Of them is destined to sue.
coed is one Of those Questions which time alone
can solve, andis ct present wrapped up in the womb
OK futuriy. kossuth, meantime, is holding on
Ly them all, and is playing them as skilful
angler plays a trout or salnon. Under tie
influence OF this excitement, even Webster comes
out as strong as any Of the ardent young
zcalots Of the day, and i: no longer looked upon
as an cold fogie," but az warm, sympathetic
young man; while General Ssott, with all the
Llushing honoIs Of his battles mantng in his
cheeks, is regarded as an old war horse, past SER

The hero of Lundy's i2no, who is known to tc as
Stubborn as a mule, will probably adhere to his
resolution, and, in despite Of tho popularity that
ever attaches to military services in this country,
he may now lose the nomination in the wiis con-
vention; While Webster, or some other mere oivi
liam wing, democrat, or free soiler-wil ride
