Foreign Interference.

the Herald Of the programme of paper estab'
lished in New York by two of the Hungarian
exiles. Kossuth has cleared himself of all
in their schemes, but the publication
of that paper is fixed fact one number having
already been issued We republsh that pro-
spectus to-day, in order that our readers nny
Judge of the insoence and ingratitude OF these
men, who, seeking and finding shelter here, seek
to fan the flame of Northern and foreign abo-
tion fanaticism into fierce and devouring
flame That they will produce a strong and
banefu effect on the minds of the foreign pOpu-
latiou in that vicinity, we have no doubt.
"pRoePEcTUs AND PLATFORM.
"The undersigned respectfully announce to
the public that their paper, called the Neu-
Yorker Demsche Zeitung, will terminate with
the end of December. From the first of Janu-
ary, 1852, it will appear under the title Demo-
kratischer VoelkerJund, edited by Messrs. Gyur-
man AID Wutschel.
Mr. Gyurman was for three years collabora-
teur for the newspaper Pesu Hiriap, the prin.
cipa editor of which was Mr. Kossuth. 1t is
known with what success this paper melted the
agitation in Hungary against the oppression of
the family of Hapsburg, and prepared the revo.
luton of 848. During the whole existence Of
the Hungarian national government, Mr.. Gyur.
man was chief editor of the official paper,
Koe=loenz He fled subsequently to Turkey,
Yas exiled at the same time with Kossuth to
.:aa;.a;to America. Governor Kossu.h recon-
slsa,ip NJ, Gvurman in the subjoined letter as Il
talented, as well as determined defender Of
the cause 81 democracy.
"Mr. Wutschel is advantageously known by
his activity during the revolution Of l848, in
Austria. These two men offer in their past life
surety enough for the determination of their
intention as well as for the ability of their pro-
ductions.

"Thc undersigned undertake, from the lst of
January, 1852, he.editing of the Demokvatischer
VOeikerbund. We consider it our duty from
the outset to explain to the public, in an open
and candid manner, what it has to expect from
this paper. As this paper is intended to be pre-.
eminently n political one it is necessary in the
first place TO define our position in the field of
politics. We are Europeans-we came as fugi-
lives to America, because the whole of the
united princes suppressed the exertions for free
dom of the isolated struggling people. But do
not give up Europe as lost We are fully con.
vinced that the people Of Europe will have
democratic future; we do not believe the
"either-or" of the captive of Corsica on the
Island of st. Helena. Europe cannot become
Cossack it must become republican. EuroTe
will ever be our native country. Europe-its
political and social condition-wil henceforth
be the subject Of our attention, the aim of our
wishes and endeavors. We live for Europe, we
work for her freedom.
"But we live now in America, if only tempo.
rarily, as we are convinced We therefore cam
not help taking notice of the condition of ou
provisional home. We are not only here to
look across the sea- but also, since the unlimited
critical nature Of reason demands it, to look
round about us, while the free institutions of
America offer so much for imitation, so much
to be avoided, for the future formation of Eu-
rope. Europe should not copy America, be-
cause history does not copy itself.
"The condition, therefore, of America, will
with equal right form the second part of this
paper; and here let us also define our position.
"The word "democratic," in the American ac-
ceptaton, does not define with sufficient pre-
cision our stand in American affairs, for here it
has lost its natural meaning, and, instead, ac-
quired historical one which depends upon no
principle, but from the laws of convenience.
Il nc IoiioWi1R are tle pcnulnp QueStloHS OF
the present policy, in reference to which we will
give our course ard platform:
81. The slavery question. W,th regard 10 IL,
zoe considr The compromise settled solution, bt
provisional law for The abrogation Of ,ohich, at
least so far as The ertra1ition Of siapes is con
cerned, zoe wiH employ AIN means which pub
Tic organ can command
80. Land reform We defend the principle
of land reform, and contend against monopoly
Of the soil.
"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
interference Of European powers in the affairs
OF the American continent will unhesitatingly
be rejected.
~ The tariff question; and 5, that of inter
nal improvements, (canals, rivers, and harbors }
As we do not raise these questions to the stan
dard OF our principles, but rather consider them
questions of convenience, we give free discus
sion OF the same in our paper.
AT all the elections we will, therefore. take
particular notice of the three enumerated prin.
ciples.
