The Boston Transcr ipt and KOssuth.
Sigma, under the title Of '''ridngs from Poster
ity" and above cue Of his numerous aliases, name
w. Historie~s, writes rhald le tier ia the Boston
Transcript Of the 2Ist last. This letter is intended
as a satire upon KossUth, and those of our people
who sympashiEe with him; and contains, amongst
other equally stupid attempts AT Wit, the following

in her course across the heavens has been baked at

and true manheed have always been SO saiuted by
the ours Of the hrman race. There have always
abeenrAen envicus Of the high moral positions which
their own native mediocrity prevents them from at

1t is subject of congratuation and pride to Us,
however, to knoR and feel that the deiractors and
fdefamers Of Kossuth are few in number, and that
shey receive little counenance or sympathy FROM the
American people. The New York Herald, Boston

ANY person who reads those heartless manifesta-

mind, would hardly suppose that they were written
by large, fat, American man, with grey hairs, and
great preiensions to geutily; but they undoubtedly
were, and may safely be taken specimen Of the
wit, humor, and sentiment which prevail in the sa-
looms of Boston, and which are relskeG by the ars-
tocracy Of that city.
The conventional literature Of all aristocracese al
slough utterly souess, has hitherto been brilliant
as the writings of Rochester, Sh&esbury. La Roche
faucaut and Chesterfield, bear witness; but it was
reserved for Sigma, the Chesterfield Of the COsst d
Boston, TO unite the inhumanty OF his predecessor
logic with that lceden dizziness Of rhetoric, an which
he coniessedly has no IiVai. 1t was reserved fo'
