The following sensible article is from
that Leading New York paper. the "Journal
Of Commerce,n - and is wholly reliable. We
always supposed sha, the "sober second
though.n Of the good people Of New York
would cause them to tske more rational
view Of the subject, than being led awsy
by the persuasive eloquencs Of the gifted
kossuth:-
THE KossUTH EXCITEMENT IN NEW YORK.
The remarks Of our representative, Mr..
Brooks, which we published on Saturday,
on the question presented BY tbe HungaTi-
an chiei, are eminen,Iy just, and are sp-
proved, We have no doubt, by large ma
ioriiy Of bis constituents, and especially by
those whose good opinion be would most
value. IIisonly error relates 10 the extent
Of the Kossuth excitement here. He has
not made sufficient allowance for the effect
Of good dinners and plenty Of champagne
nor for the artificial stimulus impaired TO
the excitement, if such il must be called,
by men ambitious Of distinction and pining
for notorietv; nor for the influence OF cor.
tain class Of newspapers, which can sell
more extras the more the embers sre fam
ned. Our own opinion is that the excite
ment here, 10 regard to Kossuth, has ct no
time exceeded that which existed on the ar
rival Of Fanny E!ssler or Jenny Lind. i
may have been more general, but not more
intense. Il has not been greater, appa-
Irently, than was the excitement at ono
time 10 regard TO Cuba. New Workers
must always have some topic Of fexcitemens,
and Kossutb as the representative Of the
Hungarian cause, ~ we'll % for bis person.
al character, eloquence, and patriotism,
was well fitted to supply the desideratum
for the time being. We beg toassure Mr..
Brooks that al present but few Of our citi-
zens lie awake nights on account Of kos-
suth; the smount Of money raised in bis
behalf 10 small compared with what has
been raised for some other objects; and
considerable portion Of il, there i reason
10 believe, has been brought out BY the
sams sort Of feeling which induced Genin
the Iba,ter to bid hundreds of dollars for the
6rst choice Of seat at Jenny Lind's first
concert. The public sentiment Of New
York, as chastened by little reflection, 10,
it we rightly understand il, that Kossuth
is brave and talented man, who has sacri-
feed much for bis country, (ihougb if its in-
dependence had been achieved he would
have been its President or King,) aud i
ready 10 sacrifice much moro; that we ap-
plaud his patriotism, and appreciate the
generous motives which would prompt him
to set on foot new revolution; that xhile
SUBJECT and his better means of judging,
wc cannot ourselves see any prospect that
. revolution, il now attempted in this coun-
try, would have any chance Of success, un-
less backed By the power Of England snd
the United States; that even tben the re-
suIt would Be doubtful; that these nstions
ought not, and cannot, afford to bring on
general war, with al lie hazards a1d hog-
rors, for ihe sake Of securing for lev na-
lions Of Hungariaus greater dsgree! q
freedom than they now enjoys freedom
which, under more suspicious circunastsn-
ces, they may obtain hereafter whho1t
such terrible cost 10 humsnity; that. At
any rate, the active intervention Of these
cations cannot bs obtsinsd, either jointiy

considered, We would most respectfully
sud affec,ionately invite tho Msgyar chief
to take up his abode With us for tho present
where he shall have every accommodates
and comfort which the country sdards. uu-
III better day shall dawn for Europe, Or q
least until there shall be soma reason to
hope that new effort 10 behalf Of his
country will end 10 something besides .
general slaughter Of her bravest neus and
afirmer riveting Of her chains. Thess, as
any rate, are our sentiments, end We be-
lieve they ara those Of our citizens gener-
ally.
