The tour of Governor Kossuth in this
country has done much to enhghten the
German population, numbering now, it is
ESTIMATED, five millions of persons, as to
which of the great parties has the most gen.
uine sympathy with the cause of human
freedom in their fa,her-land. Much as even
Democratic statesmen may differ on the
great question of Intervention, there is moi
one of them who has refused to treat the
distinguished exile with cordial respect, and
the Democratic masses have everywhere been
ready 10 do him honor.
The whig press and the whig politicians
have, with few exceptions, treated Kossuth
with great GOODNESS. They have wrapped
the mselves up in selfish dignity, and when
called upon to say what they think and feel,
in reference to the cause of Liberty among
the nations Of Europe, have responded in
spirit like that of Cain, Sam my. brothers

OF themselves, and We will take care Of our.
selves" The great heart of the people
which throbs with noble impulses, and
knows no such cold-blooded calculations

to which have alluded, and you may rely
upon il that, whether openly discussed as al
issue or not, it will have much to do will
the result of the next election.

question is, which the Northern or The
