Kossuth. in his speech on Saturday
night. INDUCED in much personal reiec-
ton on Mr.. CLAW. He charged him with
a breach of confidence and gcntleman'y
courtesy. in having his speech .Publ.shed.
that was delivered on the occasion OF tbe'r
interview IN Washington. in which Mr.
Clay to,k strong grounds agains interven-
lion. He styles Mr.. Gays position as as
sumo,iops based on assertion merely
He says the publication OF that speech
has provoked him not a litiie. and he did
not answer them on grounds OF personal
affection for Mr. Clay. He says--"l took
the interview for spr1vafc one. and re
frain now from further discussion for the
same cause. though am provoked by thus
uncaled for Publicity"
He reviewed Nj. Clay's position on
non intervention at some length, andmore
in terms Of ridicule than in those OF argu-
ment. His speech has gwen much dis.
satisfaction hore.especially to the friends OF
Mr.. Clay"
Commenting upon this last and crown.
ing act of Knssuih's arrogance and ingrat-
rude. the Washington Republic says. IN
langua ge that all reasonable and good men
will approve: Unless we are mistaken
Kossnth will discover that this last piece
of presumption will remove all doubts
from the minds of Americans as TO ms
character, and will do more to excite hos
tility to his mission than any step he had
previously taken. For time he was re-
garded as pair io,ic enthusiast. whose err
rors were attributable to an orer-zealous
love of his country and her cause. He
fell one step when he-a foreigner just
landed or our shores-prcsumed to pro-
nounce the time honorcd maxims Of WASH
rNoroS. mere Obsolete ideas, and announc-
ell his intention Of appealing from the
Government of America to It's people
From tina, time I'LL now he has descended
rapidly. each succeeding week serving TO
evince more clearly his want Of proprlety
as a stranger. his want ofrespect toward
the principles and policy of those whose
hospitality he enjoyed. and his want OF
every thing ike gratitude for the favoIs
which our Government and people had
showered upon him. But one step more
was needed TO remove all misspprehen-
sion. and that step he has taken. From
the perverson of the dead. he has adj
vanccd to the Islander ofihe living. Having
exhausted his logic against WASHINGTON
he has though, fit TO turn the current Of hi
rdicue on CLAY. TO hold up the solemn
warning of the venerable statesman as the
worthless words Of dotsge. and to heap or
the head Of him whose career has extortrd
love from his staunchest opponents. accu
saIion, of plighted faith and breaches Of
"gentlemanly courtesy!'
The country felt grateful to Mr.. Clay
for avaiing himself of personal visit to
his sick chamber, 10 send forth his elo-
quent and heartfelt appeal 10 Americans
to resist the seductive Establishments of the
visitor. and to stand firm in the faith
through which they have advanced TO hon
or and greatness. The country received
Mr.. CIay's brief speech as the almost sa.
cred admoni;ion of one Of its truest conn
sellers, and as proof that in his heaviest
hours its interests and destiny were upper.
most In his heart 1t was reserved foi
Kossuth, albeit stranger and refugee
to do what no American would presume
to do-to sneer at the convictions, and I,
assall the honor, of one from whom he i.
