The Boston correspondence the Springfield Re-
publican in an account of the Kossulh meeting in
our City Hall, describes Hon. Arson Burlngame's
speech as "overstepping the bounds of moderaioo,"
and exciting feeling of deep disgust. Aud the
Boston Journal Of the 9th inst commenting on these
statements of the Springfield Republicans, "Ca.o"
SAYS:
1t is possible that Senator Burlmgame, in seeking
Ia humor kossuth at the expense of his own coun-
try, went step too far, and inspired in the mind OF
the distinguished Hungarian, contempt Tor his UNI
scSupnous toadyism akin 10 that which every Amer
ican who is jealous Of the honor Of his country must
feel''
Senator Burlngame, at that meeting, did de-
nounce the conduct of Commodore Morgan, in rela-
tion to Kossuth, in severe terms; and he did also
reprobate the conduct of Consul Hodges, and be
most distinctly and heartily expressed his pity for
the brave, high-spirited officers of the American
Navy, who were compelled to be governed by their
eeatemptibe pusiIlanmity,but thathe said one word
uthecoming a true American is false.
Senator Burlingame's speech was the speech of an
American, proud Of his country, and jealous Of its
honor, and instead of producing feeling Of disgust,
''Cato" says it elected the most hearty sympa-
thies of his audience.
<'Woud to Cod said he, turning to Kossuh
SChat the rigate Mississippi had gone down by her
anchors in the harbor Of Marseesor that her soup
pers had run blood, ere Captain Long had disgraced
the mannesF Of the American alton by compelling
our lllustrious guest to go below when cheered by
9he French Democrats"
Those are the words Of Mr.. Buriingame, reported
H. S,,.;,a G. pa-.,bl;co, on
BY the Boston Journal, as meritiag the contempt Of
every American who is jealous OF the honor Of his
country!
We do not see how the Journal can find fault with
the sentiment expressed IN those words. Is moi

Mr.. Burlingame's speech merits the applause and
not the eensure Of the Wing presses, for they, now
a-days, claim be ardenty patriotic, and intensely
alive 10 the rational glory and honor, although it
must be confessed, they have never given any very
decided indications Of sacrificing anything but their
prejudces in favor Of trial By jury and ha5eas corpus
