KossUTH's SECRET CIRCULAR TO THE
GERMANS.
New YORK, June 90, 1852.
SIR,-I hope you have read already my
German farewell speech, delivered June 23d.
resolutions of the meeting, which were passed
consequently.
hope further, that the impression which this
matter has made upon both political parties
has not escaped your attention.
Indeed, it is not easy to be mistaken that the
German citizens of America will have the cast
ing vote in the coming election, IL they are
united in joint direction upon the platform oi
the principles set forth in the speech afore-
mentioned.
They may decide upon the exterior policy
of the next administration of the U. s., and
with that upon the triumph or the fall of liberty
in Europe.
Never vet were the German citizens of Anne
rica in this decided position.
The leaders of the political parties have
| arrived at the acknowledgement of this pow
er, and they are alarmed, for they know tina,
| in the most unfav.rable case, the Germans are
able to make unsafe, al least, any combination
| or calculation of the parties.

| portant position, which will not come back in
| a century,
hope God, the almighty protector Of lib
| erty, may prevent it. They are neglecting
| the moment. Won't they esteem prin- iples
| higher than names and denominations of par
| ties? ~
Ihope they will. The position Of America
as a powei-the liberty of Europe, OF ter
r1any, of Hungary, OF ltaly-depends upon
them.
For Gods sake DO your best SO that your
German fellow citizens occupy this position,
and ratify the principles put up in said speech,
by meetings and resolutions, and declaring the
intimated direction as theirs.
| Actquickly. Keep the power OF the position
uncomproniised in your hand until the one or
| the other party offer substantial guaranties.-
| This ia now OF the utmost imp0rtahce. 1t
should be go happy as 10 induce the Germail
citizens in different parts oil The v. ,. publicly
to approve OF my principles aud of the intima-
ted direction, thereby furnishing the Argument
that they wouldsupporf this policy, TINS would
gotiaiions with the parries. aud would enable
me to offer such guarantees To them as VIII
answer the principles and sympathies Of der-
| man hearts.
Gcd sees nv most secret thoughts. He
knows il is NOT mere vanity which uxi itates my
heart. No, the consciousness that European
| liberty depends upon the unanimous support
OF the German citizens OF America, stimulates
me in making this communication
