LETTER FROM NEW YORK.
New YORK, Aprii "a, 1852
To the Editor of the National Era.
Our neghbors across the New Jersey ferry
are all alive in toasting, escOrting, and hurra-
ing kossuth and he after travelling so extern
svely, and making upwards of four hundred
speeches, seems to be in his happiest vein. At
Newark, proverbial for its dust and mud, he
was mounted on charger, and anon ad-
dressed the people from balcony. He alluded
to the mud, as well he might, after what he
had seen and felt and said that it was a pleas
ant sight to him, and full of agreeable assoca-
tons for, if the weather had been pleasant,
it would naturally enough have been supposed
that the masses were attracted by II in throng-
ing the streets to see the stranger: but rs it
was it was evident that they came, in spite OF
the mud, to welcome the exile, for the sake of
his cause. Thus, you see, Kossuth knows how
to make even mud the groundwork II perpe.
trate no pun) of an agreeable paragraph.
ApropOs Newark is beautiful city, full OF
interesting "reminiscences but amidst what is
beautiful, | trust the Governor will catch a
glimpse of the plantation whips and Southron
Bowie knives that are made 50 plentifully in
that enterprsing place, that has been called
the workshop of the South All what will
the Hungarian chief say Of such implements
of war" in q free State of this Model Repub-
lie
Apropos once more Some Of the papers
rather maliciously assert that the delegation
of the American and Foreign Anti Slavery So
ciety in the letter that accompanied their ad-
dress to Kossuth, advised him not to touch
upon the subject of slavery while in this coun-
try This was in its inception a gratutous
calumny They merely said they did not ex-
pect reply 10 the address. The illustrious
exile, however would have done himself honor,
as would Father Mathew have done, had he
said, stand by the sentiments l have uttered an
Europe on the subject Of Slavery though do
not propose 10 discuss the subject here, hauing
Uis,ted these shores on another Grand IL would
be well for those persons in England and this
country who censure Kossuth for being silent
on the subject of slavery, to remember that
Anti-Slavery agents, when in England, on An
t-Slavery visits do not feel called upon to de-
claim against the oppression Of the Irish, or
the sufferings of the operatives at Manchester.
The Wings seem to he in the dodrums,"
and the obsequious Brooks who has long acted
az adjutant to the Southern cohort, is hors du
combat Only think of it the Union Safety
Committee, Master Brooks, and the ComprO-
mise. spurned by Southern Wings! Well may
the Journal of Commerce exclaim-" the friends
of the constitutional rights of the South in the
Northern States have taken a great deal of
pains to give themselves great deal of trouble"
The more fools were they, and they have their
labor for their pains. The Times of this city is
fairly aroused by the arrogance of the Hotspurs
of the South who bolted from the Wing caucus
at Washington 1t intimates to them, that if
they attempt to make the approaching poti-
cal contest sectional one with regard to the
Compromise fnalty, the North may allow it
to be 80 with regard to the whole subject of Sla-
very Perhaps the editor has been spurred up
by the castigation the Tribune recently gave
its time-serving neighbor, for neglecting the
great reforms of the day in pursuit of its con-
servative policy The time will come when the
North will take issue with the Saveecracy Of
the South. and resolve that the General Gov
eminent shall be divorced from Slavery and
the slave States have the sole enjoyment of the
peculiar institution when the North shall
cease TO be the hunting-ground Of shareholders
in quest of their prey when the Interstate
slave trade shall be forbidden when the army,
navy, and Territories, shall be free from slave
pollution "A better time il coming Let
the South prepare for it
