KInkeI and Kossuth.
The Intervention excitement at the West
still continues. KINKEL is treading hard on the
heels of KossUTH, and seeking to identify the
two causes as far as possble.s His success has
been great, substantially, it is possible, even
greater than that of KossUTH.
He has gone to work in a more business kind
of way; makes fewer speeches, but more col
lectiOns.
The latest news from Louisville, shows that
the opinion created by the action of the board Of
aldermen there, in relation to the Kossuth invi-
tation, must DO modified to a considerable ex
tent. From that reputation it was supposed that
no sympathy for the man or his measures existed
there. 1t was thought that Louisville would be
the breakwater to this strong current sweeping
through the West But the reception of KIN KEI
there, and the applause with which his speech
was greeted speech in which he identified
the two-proves that Louisville, too, has its
sympathisers.
AS very significant of this, we find in the
Louisville Democrat the following pithy para
graph.
KossUTH COMING I'VE are gratified to learn
from Col Riddle, that Kossuth will visit Louis
Vile, although he cannot fix the precise time.
We had learned from good authority, that he
hestated upon Tearing the action of the board
of aldermen. He need not however, be con-
cerned about the action of our city fathers.
They are "SOME" in their way, but they are
not the people.
Dr. KINKEL closed his speech with these dis
tinct propositions-the are the duplicates of
KossUTH's:
"The time will come when you will be bound
to decide, yourselves, either for absolutism or
for repubIicanism-the contest between these
principles is to become universal one, and one
of them must conquer and destroy the other
DO not wait too long, gentlemen, until your al
lies in this contest are crushed and you are
alone, in the last position of the battle field
He is no good commander who gives up to the
enemy the exterior bulwark of the fortress,
without fighting. Germany is the exterior bull
wark of the free western nations towards Rus
sia Let her fall again in the next revolution,
and the Cossacks will be masters Of Paris and
the whole continent of European arsenal for
the Emperor of Russia against you. The
united fleets of Europe will prevent your trade,
and block up the ways-ways of communication
between our shores. No emigrant will be al.
lowed to come to you and strengthen your
power and, if you would live, then, you being
people of twenty four millions, will have to
fight against two hundred millions of Europeans.
This is the political condition of America, and
the necessity which compels you to act in favor
of our cause. Until that time comes, we ask
your aid by money, by which we can prepare an
enormous and universal outbreak of revolutions.
Before Kossuth began the plan of Hungarian
fund, the German revolutionary leaders started
the formation Of German national loan, and
eighty of them, living now as refugees in Swift
|, zerland, France, England, and America, pledged
their honor and their political influence that this
loan shall be duly repaid rs soon as a republican
government shall be established in Germany.
beg this meeting to resolve the election of a
committee of Louisville, who shall be appointed
for the purpose to work for the cause of the
German revolution. After Kossuths visit to
this city-because we do not want to interfere
with the present successful efforts for the Hun.
