e The Wings do not like Kossu,h so well
as they did; and are publishing freely the base
libes written against him by Paul Esterhazy,
Cashier Batthyanni, and Bartholomew Sze-
mere, deserters from the cause of Hungary,
who thus make their peace with Austria, and
save their estates. The main reason why the
Wings are beginning to dislike Kossu,h is,
that no goes about preaching democratic truth
and thousands of Wings, who would not listen
to an American Democrat, take it kindly from
an eloquent foreigner, and become converts to
democracy without being aware of it. Kos
suth is thus great democratic missionary in
our country; and is actually doing more for
liberty here than for liberty in Europe.
