"The mission of Kossuth," says the Provi-
dence journal, has failed" We deny it, and
ask for proof
From the moment that Kossuth's object was
known amongst the Wing editors, they found
they had picked up the wrong gentleman, and
began to cry out that his mission had failed
"Kossuh is badly disappointed" they informed
us. Kossuth will sail for England in the
next steamer" was the next story in circula-
ton; and from that hour to this, their croco-
die tears have flowed over the failure" Of his
mission, and the disappointment he has suf-
fered. They have tried to drive him home
They have tried to dishearten him. And they
have misrepresented the facts to the people, for
the purpose of cooling the enthusiasm in his
cause Ten thousand times they have told
their readers that the Kossuth excitement and
the Kossuth interest was dead and they have
even deemed it wonderful that the same wild
enthusiasm which exhibited itselfin New York,
where upwards of two hundred thousand peo-
die came into the streets to get q glimpse Of
the hero, has not been shown in every town and
village through which he has passed They
groaned like dying men, because the excite
ment did not remain in New York, when
Kossuth had gone to Philadelphia land have
given us to understand that they expected these
two hundred thousand men and women would
remain in the Streets throwing up their hats
and bonnets, till Kossuth had visited the princ-
pal cities, and embarked on his return voyage.
All this we have no hesitancy in saying, has
been the merest sham; and every line which
they have written about failure and disappoint-
ment, has been and continues to be false. The
disappointment has been to the Whigs-not to
Kossuth. They expected at first, that he would
be satisfied with speech of welcome, and the
present of farm somewhere in the neighbour
hood of the Rocky Mountains They found
their mistake. They found the man to be an
earnest Republican and true Democrat, who
was not to be turned aside with handful of
sugar-pums. Then they tried to keep him from
Washington; but failed Then they tried to
prevent the passage of aresoution Of welcome
in the Senate, and failed again. Then they
turned to the House, and kept the majority at
bay, four or five days, but finally failed once
more. The Congressional banquet was anoth-
er Kossuth triumph and Wing failure No
sooner was it over than these Wing sympathiz-
ers started the story again, that Kossuth was
disappointed, and would return. Instead OF
this, we find him starting for the Great West
pleased with the past and the present, and full
Of hope for the future.
We say now that Kossuth's mission is thus
far an uninterrupted triumph. The croakers
have been every where defeated. Nine-tenths
of all the people where Kossuth has visited
have responded favorably to the purpose of his
mission. Cass and Douglas and Dallas and Bu-
chanan, have spoken in his favor. The heart
and soul of the nation welcomes him, and bids
him God-speed and even Daniel Webster is
driven to come forward with an endorsement Of
his doctrines, by reiterating the sentiments ex
pressed by him in 1928 The people have shown
themselves to be on the side of liberty and no
body is disappointed, besides the editor of the
New York Courier and Enquirer, one editor il
Rhode Island, and perhaps half dozen in 9th
err States. Providence Post.
