LOUIS kJSSUTtFS PLANS AND niSlllNG-
TOMS ADVICE
MEssRs. EDlroRs:-There are
many who say, hossulh's plans are
visionary, impracticable, lashing with
rraties; but al admit that he is Il
.reat man. This seems to be para
lox we will try to dissolve the mist
here cam b- no doubt that Kossuth
IS Oh the side Of liberty and self-soy-
ernment, while the Gar Nicholas is
on the side Of tyranny and subsection.
Sarh men generally do not indulge in
vi-hionary schemes. The object Of
these lines is to show, that the plans
Of Kossuth do not war against the ad>
vice or maxim of Washington, laid
down in his Farewell Address, viz
'Have as little as possible conn ction
with foreign governments" This ad-
vice given by Washington when he
retired from public business, refers,
obviously, only to current diplomatic
business, and not to the social affairs
of mankind in general He was. from
his long experience in public affairs
well aware of the pernicious character
Of this current diplomatic business, in
regard to society III general. Such a
connection with foreign governments
| Kossuth does not advocate. He rati.-
er condemns, in strong terms, this
current diplomatic business; he calls
its secrecy, of late advocated by Lord
Palmerston before the Southampton
dignitaries, curse Without secret
diplomatic understanding with England,
Russia, Austria, etc, Bonaparte would
not dare to overthrow the French
constitution, and start his Imperial
pronunciamento, a la Santa Anna.
A specimen of the current diplo-
macy con.emned by Washington, is,
beyond dou, t, the Nicaragua treaty
for by placing it and the ship canal
under tbs control of all maritime
powers, Russia and Austria included,
it opens chance for diplomatic chi
canery of the first class, of which we
daily see the fruits. With such cur
rent retail diplomatic business, Kossuth
has nothing to do. In regard to such
business, Washington's advice is true
and always will be The building Of
such canal concerns nobody but the
people who are about to constuct it,
and the goyeIniacnt Of the land in
question. If both will not act for the
interest of navigation. the canal will
be a failure. TO prevent this the
treaty is as ineffective as uncalled for
1t is plain that Kossutli's public
movement refers to independence and
self-government IN genera Against
such movements and aims, Washing
ton has not directed his vice be.
Cause he would have given implicitly
the lie TO his life and administration
Or was not Washington emphatcally
the riend of human rights, Ii erty and
self government! is he not on all oc-
'a.ions preaching the gospel of humani-
~ and justice? and is there anything
more humane and just than liberty
and self government 1t was he who
most eagerly solicited the alliance with
.ancr. in order to maintain the right
u self government SO obstinately re-
iSrd by Great Britain. To achieve
hese great social ends, alliances
,mong governments are not only adj
yisable, but a sacred duty for BY al.
wing a power ike that Of Russia, to
rush every movement for self gov
ernment, the circle offree governments
must become more and more contract
ID, and their existence everywhere, as
well in tEs United States MS elsewhere
De finally highly endangered
The scietific, mechanical ani linan
cial forces are equally suhservient to
tyranny and liberty. Universities,
colleges and churches, serve the devil
Us much as God. Railroads and
steamboats, transport cannons and
ossacks, as fast and easy as cotton
bales and rice bags.
| Kossuth calls for common action in
flavor of liberty and self government
