Foreign Interference.
| We alluded yesterday to the publication in
the Herald Of the programme of paper estab
lished in New York by two of the Hungarian
exiles Kossuth has cleared himself of all
completely in their schemes, but the publication
of that paper is fixed fact, one number having
already been issued. We repubsh that pro-
spectus to-day, in order that our readers may
| Judge of the insoence and ingratitude of these
men, who, seeking and finding shelter here, seek
to fan the flame Of Northern and foreign abc-
/ lition fanaticism into fierce and devouring
| flame. That they will produce a strong and d
baneful effect on the minds of the foreign popu-
latiou in that vicinity, we have no doubt.

"The undersigned undertake, from the st of
January, 1852, the editing OF the Demokraiischtr
Voslker6und We consider il our duty from
the outset TO explain 10 the public in an open
and candid manner Whist il has to expect from
this paper. As this paper is intended TO be pre-
eminently political one, il is necessary in the
fret place 10 define our position in the field Of
politics. We are Europeans-we came as fug.

WINGED that the people OF Europe will have n
democratic future; we do not believe the
l"either-or" of the captive Of Corsica on the
Island Of 81. Helena. Europe cannot become
Cossack; il must become republican. Europe
will ever be our native country. Europe-its
political and social conditon-will henceforth
be the subject Of our attention. the aim of our
wishes and endeavors. We live for Europe, we
work for her freedom.

paper; and here let US also define our position.
THE word democrats" in the American ac-
ceptation, does not define with sufficient pre-
cision our stand in American affairs for here il
has lost its natural meaning, and instead, ac-
quired historical one, which depends upon no
principle, but from the laws Of convenience.
"The following are the pending questions of
the present policy, in reference TO which we will

Of land reform, and contend against monopoly

3. The policy Of the Union with respect to
Central America With reference TO this point
We stand on the ground Monroe took, that every

As we do not raise these questions TO the stan.

AT all the elections we will, therefore, take
