Kossuth and his Faith-IIis Conn ents ON
the Change Of Ministry IN England.

The change Of ministry in England has brought |
hossuth out in one Of the most absurd Of all his |
beautiful speeches. His comments at Louisville, on
European politics in general, and the foreign rela
tons OF Great Britain in particular, perfectly
ludierous to every one who knows anything of the
political condition of Europe. What, for instance,
can be moro ridiculous than his assertion that if
Great Britain doee not join with Russia and the
other absolutstical powers, in crushing, not only
nascent republicansm in Europe, but in plotting
out every constitutional government on the Cont
nent, England herself will be attacked and over
come by the league of tho despots, and the United
States will lose foreign market fer her corn and
cotton, unless she Immediately ntervenes to prevent
intervention in Hungary Kossuth also takes &C.
casion to reply to Henry Clays protest against his
dangerous doctrines. lie says that Russia is more
likely to wage against this country if this coun-
try lets Russia alone, than if this country inter-
NEEDLES in Russian affairs and utters terrible
threats against her. In other words, if you come
up to stout built stranger in the street, who is
no chicken and no coward, and you insult and
menace him in reference TO some third party, also
stranger, and with whom you have nothing in the
world to dds he not more likely to resent che att
tack on the spot, future occasion, than if
not address him at all! Mr. Clay says that
Russia will begin to think that republicanism, as
developed in America, is dangerous to her own ex-
istenee if the United States government attempts
to interfere against her. and in favor of republican
ism in Europe; and Russia will concert measures
to clip the wings of the American eagle, or to
wound the noble bird in some vital part and
though she may not succeed to the full extent,

do very extensive mischief. Kossuth, on the
contrary, says that if the American eagle keeps
away from Russia, and does not assail that power,
Russia will come here to assail the United States,
or, at all events, viii embarrass our commercial
relations with every nation Of Europe. We would
only insult the understanding and the common
sense Of our readers by asking them whether
the opinion Of the Sage of Ashland or that Of the
poetical dreamer Of Hungary is the more sound !!
But the eyes of the people, and their legislatures,
federal and State, at length opened to the del-
sion and humbug Of Kossuth Intervention.
The recent debate in Congress, and the sentiments
expressed generally by members Of the Senate on
the tavern bill for the entertainment of Kossuth is
melan choly and ludicrous comment on the destiny
which the poor Magyar is meeting in this country,
after commencing so brilliantly in New York, and
continuing his for short time in other cities
Of the United States. kossuth himself seems to feel
the bitterness Of the disappointment and the change
has come over even the spirit Of his own dream. In
his recent speeches. he allows his chagrin to escape
him in charges against portion Of the press of this
country, which equally baseless, ridiculous, and
absurd. He imagines that all the independent Jour
nails and all those independent men who refuse to
bow the knee in worship to him, paid by Austrian
gold and influenced by Austrian spies A more
insane idea never entertained outside the walls
Of a lunatic asylum.
The press and people Of this country are still
did enough in reference to Kossuth to declare that
they believe he is sincere in his expressions of love
to his native land and in his efforts to establish its
freedom. The only difference they have with him
is in relation to the wisdom, the good sense, and the
proprety of the course he has pursued in order to
accomplish the object which he processes, and for
which we give him credit, naney-thc elevation
Of his country from state Of thradom to liberty,
prosperity, and independence. From the moment
that he landed at Staten Island, he has mistaken his
position in this country. The first thing that struck
us as absurd and ridiculous in his conduct and bear
ing, and that showed weakness in the intellect and
good sense Of kossuth was the parade and the fun
merry with which he assumed the retinue and trap
pings of existing foreign potentatcs, while he was
actually living at the Irving House on the charity
Of the Corporation Of New York-surrounded by
guards and sentnels, and al the absurdites of royal
etiquette at his free quarters in this republican
city, at the very time that he was receiving the
adulaton of crowds Of republican citizens out Of
doors People could not shut their eyes to the fool
cry of such pretensons in exile; and this laid
the foundation Of that spirit which daily grew he
travelled through the country, and enlarged az he
extended the sphere Of his personal appearance and
spun out his eloquent but meretricious oratory.
Admitting, therefore, that he is real patriot, in
the exhibitions that he has presented in this country
he reminds one of Barum, in a show of patriotism
which is show, and nothing else. His subsequent
acts, negotiations, and announcements of the pur-
chase Of two dollar muskets in New York, and sad
dies in Cincnnati-thus idly throwing away the
little money he had collected in foolish prepara-
tons that never could lead to anything-render him
the laughing stock Of the community, and his very
friends and admirers hang down their heads for
shame, that he should attempt to achieve 90 stu
rendous an undertaking by means SO inadequate
and perfectly childish But his other absurdities
and want Of sense were capped by the silly effort to
attribute all the opposition in portion Of the press
and people Of this country to Austrian bribery and
Austrian influence. That gives the finishing touch
to his character, and sets him down an amable sim
pleton aud an enthusiastic fool, who deserves pity
and confederation. but no rancor displeasure
INCREASE or THE MoRMoSs AT SALT LAKE
We see il stated in some Of the Western journals,
that a vast emigration is expected to go westwardy
from the valley Of the Mississippi, during the ensu
ing summer, towards the desert Of Utah--the home
Of the Momons--the number Of those emigrants
from the North and Eastern States, alone, being est
mated at FIVE or six thousand persons. In addition
TO this emigration, we may state that vast
sion will also cross the Atlantic from Europe to the
same destination-probably Of an equal, il not su.
