INTRIGUES OF FOREIGNERS WITHIN AND
AGAINST THE UNITED STATES.

The partial encouragement which certain foreign
visitors to our shores have lately met with, in some
parts of the country in their attempts to seduce the
People of the United States into aording them aid
and countenance in their ill-dgesed and desperate
schemes for revolutionzing different countries OF
Europe, have doubtless stimulated the organization
Of design of foreign origin, the object of which is
to take out of the hands of the constituted authori
ties of the United States the control of the foreign
relations of this Government with all the Govern
ments Of Europe, for the avowed purposes of over
! throwing all those Governments.
This announcement may startle such of our read
ers as have not watched, as closely we have, the
I" signs of the times" But it is no less true than
startling; and it demands all the more attention
from the fact of this organization being the natural
consequence of the teachings and the preachngs of
certain public journalists politicians and enthusiasts
operating upon persons of weak minds, of mere vi
sionares, and persons of foreign birth, uniformed
and not studious of the institutions under which
they have come to live. The g missions" of NJ.
Kossuth and DR.. Kinkel are undoubtedly the leaven
which has excited this fermentation among the con-
tinental European immigrants to this country, and
that portion Of the native population North and
West of the Susquehannah which is subject to ex-
elements from light causes, and liable to be in
fuenced by every fresh one, light substances are
attracted by electric bodies.
Our object to-day, however, is not to make a dis
sertaton on the subject but to place before read
ers the evidence of the fact which we have an
nounced. We subjoin it entire, it appeared in
the Philadelphia Ledger of Friday the 9th ultmo.
The character and objects Of this g Revolutionary
League for Europe" with it's auxiliary assoca-
ons and military corps in every city and county of the
Union," its Executive Board, and its Congress,
which is to hold its first session at New York on
Monday, the 18th of May, are so intelligibly and
ference to it, that shall adopt it; inviting to this
recapitulation the attention of casual readers who
may not have time to study the whole programme
of these Revolutionists:
at will be seen by the articles of this organiza-
ton (says the Ledger that the design OF the
League is to overthrow monarchy and establish
republican democracy throughout Europe. For
the accomplishment of this purpose the first OBJ
ject is cooperation of the democratic elements, and
their fusion into one great party looking only to
tofore the democratic elements have been disunt-
ed through and warning against
each other. They now to be united tor the
destruction of the common enemy, until which
time the contest for the spoils, which usually
begins with the first revolutionary effort, is to be
postponed The means to accomplish this object
is to have agitation in Europe well as America,
accumulation of revolutionary fund, and the for
nation of armed organizations in his country,
sready for the struggle when it comes. Military
companies are to be formed in every city and coun
sty in the Union, and auxiliary associations who
pay weekly contributions to the fund. The whole
supervision Of affairs is to be under the control of
"a congress of all the associations, and, during its
srecess, by an executive board. A political com
mittee of three persons, elected by this congress,
has unrestricted powers in concert with other
tnationalites to take the steps necessary to
fplish European revolution. This in brief, is the
Organization and object of this association; and
the question arises how far they consistent with
4 the duties which American citizens to their
Gown laws, and the treaties entered into by the
United States with the nations of Europe 1t Is
"a great scheme of intervention in the affairs of
foreign nations if not by the Government, at least
tby the People Of the United States. If the orga-
tnzaton succeeds to the extent of its wishes, how
<long would the Government of the United States
be able keep from meddng with foreign quarrels
