Gov. Il ossuth and his Kindred.

1t has already been announced that Gov.
KossUTH will speak at the Tabernacle on MoHd1y
erening nezt, at the request of a number Of La
dies and Gentlemen Of our City who have heard
that his mother and sisters, driven iato exile by
the Austrian despotism which now crushes their
country, are on their way to this free land, to
find spot where they may live embarrassed by
spies, persecution Imprisonment and dread Of vio-
lent death. The following is the correspondence
between Gov. X. and the Ladies and Gentlemen
afore said which we commend to every generous
mind, to every sympathetic heart. We especially
ask attention to that passage in Gov. Kossuth's
reply which quietly rePels the knsVe's Pretense
that he will appropriate to his own personal use
and subsistence the money which has been con-
fded to him by our cOuntrymen to promote the
cause Of European, and especially Hungarian Lib
Grafton. If this does not cause the ears OF ms
ca lumniators to tingle, it argues strong prooa-
biity that they have lost those useful appendages
IN punishment Of some earlier calumnies.
We ask the friends of Peace who have object
ed to aiding or countenanciDg kossuth in his mis-
ssn TO this country, to judge whether they ought
not TO evince double zeal in responding to this
appeal in b, half oi exiled and destitute women
who have lost all purely because of their relation-
shin 10 Patriot whom Freemeu loved and trust
ed while tyrants hated and feared him. Friends
of Peace will YOU not be foremost in ministering
TO the needs Of the destitute and soTOwing Women
thus driven into exile
