parative failure, were visited with an
exceedingly bad grace, upon gentle
men who certainly had done thei.
best 10 promote the ends Of Kossuth,
and who could only have fallen be-

indifference OF the mass Of the citi-

Ko..nth and the CommI,see.
An interview which took place on
Wednesday evening, at the Burnet
House, between Kossuth and the
Hungarian Committee, which had
charge Of the arrangements of the
meeting at the depot, was a subject
OF general conversation round the
city, yesterday; and If the history
related by those present be really
true, a portion OF that abundant
sympathy manifested towards the
"Governor Of Hungary" ought to he
applied in immediate extenuation Of
the suferings Of the local committee
gentlemen whose generous exer-
tions instead Of crowning them with
the laurels Of auxiliary heroes, have
brought upon them the sad deserts
oil unfFuitlul ServeniS-and whose
condition, now, instead Of provoking
the splenetic JESUS Of party merri-
ment, should excite the unfeigned
expression OF public commiseration.
Well, they had an audience in the
private apartment Of the Governor,
one of the main objects oI the inter-
view being 10 hand over to him the
materialai collected for admission 10
the meeting-some $1,000. The
first words, it is said, were sp ken by
Kossuth-"You see, gentlemen, your
grand demonstration for the Hungari-
an cause was a lailure!-a lailurel !
lailure!l!' A short pause and
long faces foLiO,Ded this remark, l0hich
paS uttered NTH peculiar emphasis |
A spokesman OF the committee
here attempted to offer an explana-
ton in apology alluding 10 the short
ness Of the notice given to the pub
lie, and the disappointment felt al
postponing the day of meeting as
originally noIi6ed-his own indispo-
sition suggesting the alteration, &c.
KossUTH--O, too much committee
too inefficient. A chilling sensa-
tion lDds here Observed.
SPoKEsMAN-We really ourselves
feel greatly mortified at the thinness
of the assemblage, but
KossUTH-Think OF it, gentlemen
| had ynur assurance | should re-
ceive $4,000 to-day-and now
find not twelve hundred people at
your great meeting.
The committee then severally as
sured Kossuth their exeriions had
not been spared in endeavOring TO
collect crowd. ...
KossUTH-I humbly thank you,
gentlemen; but ii | had been suffer
ed 10 carry out my own arrange
ments, could have obtained as
much material aid in iorty-eight
hours, as through your kindness ]
have received in fifteen days!
The manner OF Kossuth was all
this time excited-the committee sat
in silent and composed endurance,
seeming 10 think tha, sanger hasSs
privilege" and the general anxiety
was TO discover what was coming
next.
Kossuth, in a style Of remon-
STRANGE, then proceeded TO say that
he had been deceived--that upon
the strength Of the assurance given
to him, he made contracts Tor the
supply of several thousand dollars
worth of cavalry harness; but his
arrangements had been broken
through by this ill-managed affair."
"Your large committees are inef-
6cient. When in Europe" said he,
81 heard OF a revolutionary commit
lee OF one hundred and forty per-
sons in Vienna, and | at once fore
saw they would do nothing-gentle-
men, YOU illustrate the propriety OF
that tconclusion." Briel intervals Of
cIouded abstraction followed each Of
these pithy denuncialions; but the
momentary suspension Of oral cas'i-
CATION was supplied by the whitening
look and excited gesture Of Kos
suih- s.
We. every ioint should seem to curse and ban,
And even now his burdened heart would break,
Should he not curse them"
