We received yesterday from an unknown CORE
spondent a communication, in which he discusses,
and answers in the negative, the question, Shall
the United States interueae on behalf of Hungary
Our correspondent must excuse US, and receive back
his communication Not because we dissent from
his views; but because the question which ne pro-
poses is one which does not in our opinion, admit OF
debate TO entertain serious discussion upon 1t
in our columns would be to give to late movements
on this subject an Importance which they are not
entitled to- Whoever among us SO little understands
the principles of his own Government as to hesitate,
in such question as this, which side to choose, is
too far gone to be reasoned with The question: put
to any honest American, whether he would, under
any circumstances-and still less under present cir
cumstances-prefer the interests of foreign country
to those of his own, would be little short Of direct
insult

THE PRESIDENTS RECEPTION OF K0ssUTH.

Amid the enthusiasm at the North and in Con
gress in relation to KossUTH, which seems to bid
fair to overlap all prudential considerations and to
oyerturn the policy which has hitherto preserved
the rights and promoted the happiness of our people,
and to launch on an untried and boisterous sea,
it is refreshing to be able to turn eyes in another and
no less influential quarter and to find fears abated
and our hopes revived by the Washngtonian rmnes and
the oden time patriotism of the Executive branch of
Government. Surely Mr. FILLMORE has had more bois-
ferrous Presidential voyage than any had before
Abolitionism and Disunon and Cuban expeditions and
Mexican invasions Spanish difficulties and British and
Austrian difficulties and all sorts and qualities Of
trials have beset his Administration from the time he
sumed Office till the present moment and has
better met each and every of them all than he who
now guides and controls the Government
The admirable in which he has conducted the
reception of KossUTH but adds another to Mr. FILLMoREs
triumphs difficulties He has done what proper
and suitable in the reception Of great and patriotic
stranger all that could be grateful the feelings of such
guest but with clear manifestation that while all that
respect admiration, and sympathy could offer
daily offered that sympathy bounded by the higher
demands Of duty to the country whose welfare he
presided We would refer readers to the account of
this reception for complete exempfcaton of the high
qualities of the President in meeting difficult and en-
barrassng events, Of which, Heaven knows he has had
than his share during the few years Of his Admins
