only passed through our own brain. but a very SIM
liar suggestion reduced to writing by US. Up
on reflection however, abandoned it from reasons
of expediency, which, we think, will be satisfactory
to our friends of the Republican & Patriot Far be
it from US at the present time to do anything that
might tend to fan the flames of sectional jealousy
between different portions of the State but
not close eyes to the fact that such jealousy does
exist, and that the suspicion of central dicta-
ton must and will prove injurious to any party
which may appear to be liable to it. It is for this
reason that we have abandoned, and are OnnOsed to
the idea of any transaction of district business in
Raleigh whether by State Convention at large or
by separate district delegations meeting there. 1t
would be urged, and with good deal of seeming
truth that the business of the districts was cut and
dried ready made in Raleigh.
There is enough prejudice already, Heaven knows
against Raleigh. Any attempt to clothe any
tions meeting there with more extended powers than
party usage has heretofore given them, would in
opinion, be extremely injudcious.

The Legislatures of more than half the States, and
of considerably than half the population, have
endorsed every proposition advanced by the Hunga-
riaH orator and there actually struggle 60

But while taking this position, we by means waive
the right to crticsc any and every exhibition of the

Sometime since, two of the Hqngarians who came
over with Kossuth acting under his advice, started
a paper in New York, as means OF making Nv
ing, and also of advancing the which Kossuth
advocates such at least the purport OF the let
ter of advice and endorsement which be gave them.
But in their prospectus instead of proposing to con-
fine themselves to subjects which they could discuss
without presumption, they had the impudence,
whilst avowing themselves aliens, not only in fact,
but in intention, to plunge ut once into the most
dangerous and exciting sectional diseussions-to at
tack the fugitive slave law and otherwise mix them
selves up in the most unbecoming manner, with our
internal affairs 1t is due to Kossuth to state that
he Immediately and Indignantly repudiated all con-
neetion with, appreciation of any such incendiary
course We believe him, for we think that he has
proved himself altogether too shrewd man to be
caught in such foolish and unbecoming scrapes and
in this belief we are borne out by the general opin
ion But we have always thought, not only that
Kossuth had nothing to do with the matter, but also
that the Editors of the paper had been in way
imposed upon and made the victims of some reckless
and designing scoundrels, which indeed appears to
have been the case. The New York correspondent
of the Philadelphia Pennsylvania, writing under
date of the 18th inst says
There is good to believe that that part of
the prospectus. of the new German paper The Dem
okratasche Volkerbrund, just started here, by
quaintance of Kossuth-Guyurman-a vowing oppo-
sition to the execution of the Fugitive Slave Law
one of its cardinal principles was nerpolated by
notorious and reverend) Abolitionst, to whom the
plan of the paper unsuspectingly submitted. A
few days will show that the editor was yictimized by
wolf in sleeps clothing, and I am told that the
next number of the paper will tell how"
The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher is no doubt the
reverend scoundrel alluded to. Oh. for all manner

Non-Interyenaion.

Intervention to enforce non-intervention," was a
toast given by Kossuth on recent occasion. Such
Intervention bears about the same relation to Off
cious interference that hanging by the Sheriff does
to actual murder. The latter takes away single
life in order to enforce the laws enacted for the gen.
eral security and the former might require forci-
bic interference in defence of national law, in order
to prevent its fraudulent abrogation by illegal vo-
lence
But, however this may be. there is little no
chance of the question becoming more than mere
matter Of speculation, at least, for the present No
immediate results can be expected to flow from the
Kossuth excitement although it is difficult to esti-
mate the Importance of its ultimate consequences,
should favorable opportunity arise for their devel-
opment
The responses from the Legislatures of Maine,
New jersey Ohio and the discussions in Pennsylva-
MIA. New York and other States, show the power
which this doctrine is acquiring in different sections
of the country and although two of the States
have coupled their invitations with neutrality pro-
viso, and others have stopped short of recommend
ing actual aid at the present time. by none has the
doctrine been condemned upon principle but simply
as matter of policy. The New York Herald says
ahead like great ball. increasing in size it
rolls-uires acqurit eundo. 1t proceeds from State
to State enrolling fresh converts in each and seems
likely extend over the whole Union from Maine to

AS for making any party matter or capital out of
this thing. We regard it as worse than nonsenscal
The strength of the democratic party is at the South
and the Southern element is predominant in its
counsels The South from the necessities of her So
cal position. is eminently conservative and cautious
and may rest assured that if any rashness is to
be apprehended, the Baltimore Convention is the
last body in the world to do anything calculated to
render itself justly responsible for it.
That we have right to interfere for the protec-
ton of the laws of nations, is generally admitted
But whether bound in duty to do so at this
time; or whether such interference would be in ac-
cordance with dictates of sound policy is quite
other matter. Sufficient unto the day is the evil
thereof" Years may nay, in opinion must elapse
before any respectable popular movement can be
made in Europe, policy in connection with it,
become more than matter Of abstract discussion,
and it will be time enough for to the ques-
ton in regard to future propounded by the
Herald of Wednesday, when the occasion contemplate
ed shall have arisen. We look upon the whole thing
matter of policy which must necessarily be de-
cided by the actual state of the case. Having no
gift of prophecy we are unable to say what that may
be.
We would commend the article which quote
from the Richmond Enquirer, to the attention of
those who seem inclined to couple Kossuhs mission
with the imputation of humbug and mposture.
