crime is that they entertain lis own princi-
pies, and seek their application.
Mr.. Garrison in the Liberntor, expresses
hmsefstrongly, sorrowlully, aud yet, indig-
nanily as follows:
KOSSUTH FALLEN.
"Thc die is cast. All speculation is now at
an end, as to the position Kossvrn means to
maintain on the slavery question in the United
States. lie means to be deaf, dumb and blind,
in regard to it Like rccreant Father MATTHEW,
to subscrve his own purposes, and secure the
favor of a slavcholding and slavc.brccdng pco-
pie, he skulks-hc dodgcs-hc plays fast and

to adore liberty and at the same time multiply

with any thing in this country-not even 50 far

In addition to reiterated declarations in his
speeches, since he landed at New York, that he
did not mean to get cntanglod in any Of our
domestic affairs including our precious do

the following brief but significant Address,

Here follows Kossuil's Address TO the
People Of the United States, which we pre-
sumo our readers have generally seen.
Frederick Douglass in his last paper speaks
as follows:
"Thcrc is now an end to all spoculators among
abolitonsts, as to what is the policy Of Kos
suth in respect to American Slavery. Ills great
speech in Now York, his unsolicited address to
the committee of "thc American and Foreign
Anti. Slavery Society,"" his brief response to
the committee Of colorcd citizens who addressed
mn, settles the qustion. lie frankly evows his
determination to steer clear Of the ant-savcry
question in tais country; and lie c;.lculy in
tends 50 to advocate the claims of his down
troddcn country, as not to give oacnsc to this
nation, standing on the ncclls of more than three
millions of its people. Ills friendship for uni
vcrsal liberty lie docs not mean shall be under
stood as including in its Benoa,ent range the
victims Of oppression and slavery in this coun
try. His language is clear and unmistakablc.
lie defines his position as follows:
First, that take it to be the duty of honor
and principle not to meddlo with whatever par
ty question of your own domestic affairs.
claim for my country the right to dispose of
itself; so l am resolved, and must resolve to
respect the same principles here and everywhere,
May others delight in the part of knghts-cr-
rant for theories. 1t is not my case, l am the
man of the great principle of the sovereignty
Of ovory people to dispose OF its own domestic
concerns; and / most solcmly deny to every
foreigner, as to every foreign power, the right
to oppose the sovereign faculty.
Secondly, l profess, highly and openly. any
admiration for tho glorious principle of union,
on which stands the mighty pyramid of your
greatness, apl upon the basis of which You
have grown, in the short period of sovcnty-fve
years, to prodigious giant, tho living wonder
of the world. have the most warm wish that
the star. spanglcd banner of tho United States
may forever be floating, united and one, the
proud ensign of mankind's divine origin and
taking ny ground on this principle of union,
which find lawfully existing, an established
constitutional fact, il is not to party, but to
the united people Of the United States, that
l confidently will address my humble requests
for aid and protection to oppressed humanity.
l will conscientiously respect your laws, but
within the limits of your laws l will use every
honest cxcrtion to gain your operative sympa-
thy, and your financial, material, and political
aid for my country's freedom and independence,
and cntrcat the realization of those hopes
which your generosity has raised in me and my
peoples breasts, and also in the breasts of Eu-
ropes oppressed nations"
How much soevcr we may be disposed to con-
denim the principles and policy here avowed, we
must commend the frankncss of Louis Kossuth
The declaration, "may others delight in the
part of nights-errant tells the whole story
and shows that while he is willing to advocate
non-ntervention in our national affairs, he
would gain the cooperation of the mass of the
American people, by casting reflection graft.

tionists who arc but applying tho great princi-
pie of freedom which he processes to hold dear
to his heart, to the institution of slavery.
1t is hardly worth while to go into discus
