kossuth's Mission TO the United States.

pose Of explaining the various objects of Kcssaths
mission to the United States. Kossuth has endea.
vored, in innumerable speeches, to impress on the
public miRd that he did not come across the At.
iantic with the intention Of finding . home c.
place OF refugee on the contrary, he here With
the great object in view Of seeking the aid Of the
government and the people to bring about reve.
luton In Hungary and throughout Europe, and to
prevent hereafter, by the of the United
States, the combination of Russian and Austrian
powers to put down any further attempt at revolu-
ton in their dependencies. In Staten Island, New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington
this has been announced by him in his speeches, a $
the great and leading objec. which brought him
across the ocean. His friends and exclusive advo-
Gates have endeavorcd to impress on the public
mind the same ideas which he labored to circulate
through his innumerable orations.
There is q natural sympathy in every American
bosom in favor Of liberty-politca, religious, and
social The efforts every people, in every quar-.
ter of the globe, to attain this independence, will
always be kindly looked upon by the people Of the
United States The sympathy of this country was
therefore excited by the arrival Of Kossuth But il
seems, from recent Developments made in this city
that the interve nten of the United States in favor
Of European liberty comprises not all the objects Of
Kossuth's mission to this land During his resi-
dence in this metropolis, certain arrangement
was made by one Of his intimate friends and asso-
ciates and concurred in by Kossuth himself for the
purpose Of establishing newspaper organ in this
city, in the German language. This arrangement,
which has been made and carried out, openly and
publicly, thro VS. great deal Of additional light
indeed, startling ght-on tho objects Of Kossuth's
mission here, and the purposes which he entertains
n conjunction with his fellow.exiles in this land.
An explanation Of this may be found in the fol-
lowing extracts which our German translator
has made from the Demokratischer Voelkcbund,
newly recognized German newspaper in
this city, and which openly avows its purposes,
its Objects its principles, its editors, and all its
affiliations. Messrs. Gyurm an and Wutschel an
nounce themselves as the editors Of this journal,
and give their readers programme of their princi
pies and purposes. Among the principles which
this newspaper organ has adopted, to promulgate
among the German population of this country, are,
repeal Of the Fugitive Slave law, and of the pre-
sent public land system, which have been adopted
and avowed by various radical patriots in this and
other cities of the North. The editor who assumes
the manage ment of journal conducted on these
cohaboyateurs of Kossuth in the Pesti Hrlap which
he published in Hungary. This gentleman, it APP
pears, was fellow exile with Ksssuth in Kutayah,
embarked with him on board the Mississippi, and
arrived lere in that steamer. The programme
thus put forth is approved of, and sanctioned and
certified to by Kossuth himself, under his own name
and signature. Here it isl
