Kossurh on a New Mission
Iossnth last sermon at the Tabernacle-value
s4so0-ise novelty. In it he has abandoned for the
present his bloody revolutionary mission, founded
on the prccepts Of the Mosaic dispensaton of Gan
eye tor Al eye, and tooth for TOOTH" and he has
resolved to try what the milder law Of the gospel
can dc--not the gospel as men Of ordinary capacity
understand it, but the gospel according to the
transccndental purst ideas OF Kossuth. The two
dolid; muskcts ind the Cincinnati saddles are not
necessary just now, nor The 100000, which he adj
mits having received, but which is supposed to lie
only fraction Of the sum the arch-mendicant has
realized in his tour threugh the United States.
Harpily begging is art but imperfectly known in

Ii II an art and science cultivated to the highest
pitch of refinement. As much practice and skill are
necessary for success as in any other avooaton in
hfe-indeed, rather more. In London, for exam
pie regular apprenticeship is served, and he who
most exccls in inyenng tales of woe, who has most
ratios in telling them, and can excite the most
compassion, by his manner or his garb, is
regarded as the greatest proficient in his srt
u Is no uncommon thing for some Of the professional
beggsrs to realize FIVE dollars on an average, every
day, while they are all the time in attered rays

his own showing, he has realized 500 per day, M
GLIDING Sundays. But rs il is part of the System
Of bcggars to exaggerate theirpoverty Kossuth has
prof. ably made far than this. In his charity
sermon on Monday evening, he says ''wc are poor =
Whether the ''we" relates to royal prerogative or
&c himself individual, and his relations COM
bined, we know not: but n man with $4,000 in his
purse cannot be called very poor.
But the means which Kossuth has row ndopted
for ''raising the wind, shows that he has consider
able tact. Finding, from a glance at the platforms
of the two great political parties, that himself and
hi Intervention principles were thrown overheard by
both, he falls back upon religion not only as con-
ISOLATION his disappointment but, a. "more excel
lent way" both Of collecting money md revolution
ling Europe, than the coarse and vulgar appliances
o. powder and ball, on which he so long relied in
vain. They are very good in their way, but not
without religion to sanctify them Hence Cromwell
always said Put your trust in God and keep your
powder dry
Dr. johnson defines patriotism TO be g the last
refuge Of scoundrcl." Religion is often the last
refuge Of sinners who do not forsake their vices till
their vices forsale them. In the case Of Kossuth
religion becomes new mission and he is its great
T-orhet and apostle. We have no doubt that in
this new mission he will be far more successful than
IN the old In politics the people are too we'll
yor7od TO be long humbugged by utopian impracti-
cable dreams. Politics are palpable and relate to
This world, and come home to every mans business
ana bosom Religion ia different. 1t il intangible
and matter entirely between man and bis Maker
There is much uncertainty and doubt about who
If right or wrong, though we all hope we are on tho
right road. In matters Of religion, therefore, the
tenoency Is TO grasp az every thing new, and espe
cially whatever processes to give palmer map Of
The why to heayon-the shortest cut and the safest
to everlasting happiness. Kossuth has made new
discovery during his rcrosc at the Irving House.
He bad before discovered that all was wrong in poli
tics in this country aud That the United States was
not On power on earth," because she would not en-
Ter upon snnguiuary crusade in Europe; he has
ROW discovered the cause Of that error-hc want of
True rehgion-s want that involves the future de-
struction OF this country, Notwithstanding all her
'reaent prosperity, happiness, and liberty Kossutb
having made as much money as he could By politics
'etred into privacy: and having received new r.
lgion from heaven, or invented one, he announces

There is 50 remarkable a similarity between the /
node adopted by Kossuth an that pursued by Mo !
