world Facts would go to prove that the Irish
far fit for republican institutions than the
liungarans They have experience OF the theory,
and some of the practical operations Of liberty I'M
der the British constitution, not enjoyed under Aus
TRAN despotsm; and when they come to this coun-
Try 1t is astonishing how soon they become ac-
qua'ntcd with its institutions, and turn cut
az excellent republicans as if they were =" to
tne manner born" Judging from Kossuth's
slowness TO learn and to appreciate the practical
workings OF republican liberty, the of Hun
garians would take n long time to become drilled
into American republcanism. NJ Pulzsky in the
of his speech, said the American papers were
worse in their attacks upon Kossuth than the Aus
trian journals He, too, does not much relish the
republican freedom of the United States press
kossuths speech was, for the most part, very poor
version of that he delivered at Southampton, with
some local additions. He seems to have talked
himself out.
The best speech Of the evening was that Of old
Mr. Quincy, exMayor OF Boston, but it has not been
wei reported. There one remark he made
worth recording. He said Where does the spirit
of liberty exist anywhere out OF the United States
in efficiency! Great Britain alone stands between
us and the dcspotism OF the whole continent OF Flu
rope" The inference Mr. Quincy drew from that
fact rather different from what kossuth would
draw. He said il ought to make this country
watchsul, and ready for self protection. But Kos
suh would have us rush into the melee at once, and
hasten the contamination which Mr. Quincy so
much deprecates--' tho bristling OF all the bayo-
rcts from North Cnpo to Cape st. Vincent against
the United States" The Mayor, Mr. Seayer, who
by some influence was induced to attend the BAN
quet merely private citizen, called up, and
he still more shy Of Intervention. He merely
said this country would be always glad to welcome
all exiles, and liberty would yet come to Hungary.
This was cold comfort to kossuth.
This cautious prudence, however, was amply COM
pensatcd by the flaming speeches of Governor Bout
well, who has suddenly and completely thrown
himself, body and soul. into hossuthsm General
Wilson, President of the Senate, man not pretend
ing to much education, but who il well known as
demagogHc, and Colonel Isaac r. Wright, a navy
agent, who wants to be n member of Congress.
The general character Of the audience was very
different from tfWlt which marks respectable BAN
quets and festivities in Boston and New York. The
merchants were not there, and the citizens of Bos

and they put them right into their pockets. The

toned to you, that efforts wore made TO get Captain
Long to attend the cold water banquet to KossutA.
He did not come-hc showed his good sense, for he
would have been Missed, as the Mayor and Mr..
Webster were by the free soilers. From what had
heard of Captain Longs character, concluded he
had q little too much sefrespect for that The
Mayor, who intended to conciiate by attending the
banquet, Kissed in Kossuths presence. The first
time Daniel Webster was ever Kissed in Faneuil
he has made ring with his eloquence-
was under the auspices Of Kossuth-and, to say tho
least OF it, decency was outraged. The Hulsemann
letter. and the sending Of ship of war for Kossuth,
and the friendly speech Webster made at the
Congressional banquet, ought to have protect
I'd the Secretary Of State from this wanton
onslaught which has been now twice repeated. But
lis eyes are now probably opened or will be when he

opened when they find out the expense Of this kos-

Is about $4,000. Every man ordered Out received

weekly paper, will show you that there are inde-
pendent journals in Boston, in relation to Kossuh:-
Tho visit of the great Magyar to this city has been
the event of this week, and the attraction Of our
country friends to the metropolis has given holt
lay appearance to our streets and impaired ac-
yiy to trade, in which retailers, hotel keepers, and
managers of public amusemsnts have been the lar
yest partcipators. The residents Of the city have
devoted few hours. from mere curiosity, to "see-
pg Kossuth," but the excitement, or enthusiasm, as
ONE term it, has been exclusively monopolized by
he out of town folks, who, carried away by any
'clty, go into spasms Of ecstasy at the arrival Of
very nondescriN that may happen to be the lion Of

'The streets through which he passed were entirely
rec from decorations; and it was evident that the
ioton Of the city government, in refusing 70 join
With the State in this public reception, was endorsed

through the streets was warmly received, 80 far as
