The Policy of WashingtOn-KOssuth-Th
United States and Europe.

They who look to the writings of Wash
ington for precepts of cold-blooded indiffer-
ence to the fate of others will be disappoint-
ed While he was opposed to the employ
ment of physical force by our Government
for the purpose of promoting democracy a
broad, he was not opposed to the people ex-
pressing their sympathies in the form which
might to them seem best and most effective.
1t was owing to the profound sympathy
which the citizens of the United States felt
in the Hungarian revolution that Congress
was induced to send national ship to the
Mediterranean to invite Kossuth, the mas
tcr-spirit of that revolution, to this country.
By that act, Kossuth became the guest Of
the nation. He was entitled to the respect
of our people by his extraordinary devotion
to the cause of liberty in Europe, by his ex.
traordinary talents, by his exemplary life,
and by his suferings for the sake Of freedom,
Asa general rule, he has been treated with
respect, although there are some persons
who have violated the ri hts Of hospitality by
asperalng bis character and his motives du.
ring his visit
Now, what we hold with reference te
Kossuth Is this-that wherever be goes he
should meet with cordial welcome, anc
that far Opportunity should be presented
to him to make the glorious cause, in which
ne has suffered SO much, known to all who
desire to hear him. If, on hearing his state
ments, the people feel that they can assis
so good Il cause by contributing their money
to it, they ought to do it, and by so doinI
they do not violate the policy of Washing
ton. They who do not wish to hear the il
lustrious man and who do not wish to Civ
to the cause he represents, can keep ava
! from him aud keep their money for bette
causes. We neither advise people to Civ
OF not to give, but simply to follow thei
own Judgment and feelings.
AS we have frequently said, our Govern
ment ought not to send armies to Europ,
but its future policy should be what its pal
policy has been. 1t acknowledged the il
dependence Of the South American repul
lies, Of Texas, and Of The French republi
lin l84s. Hereafter, it should stand read

In spite Of the unsparins Distraction which
is heaped upon this distinguished, stranger
BY those seni-oticial apologists Of despotism,
to be found even upon American soil, be
continues to receive that homage, and ROsPi-
tality due to his own distinguished 'chagacter
and history, and to the sacred cause he rep
resents. While by the m6pgily of those
even who dissent fro.ns lis occasional dee
trines the most generous resp6es'and sympa.
thy for himself and cause have been kindly
expressed, it has been left for small class
whose anti-democratic instincts amount to
fanaticism, to confound the illastrious pa
triot and exile, with the implacable raneor OF
political hate, and to pursue witha vlndietive
ferocity worthy of Haynau himself, the un-
fortunate aad gifted guest of American hos
pitality. Such an outrage upon all the gen.
erous ms inets of social and national honor,
amounts to degraded infatuation, and can
plead no excuse but that of moral derange-
ment. We are gratifcd to find deserved
rebuke Of this wicked crusade against Kos
suth in so distinguished wing paper as that
of the Louisville journal, the editor Of
which, with that boldness and piquancy fol
which he is celebrated, rcpudiates all sym
patby with the feelings and views of the
Austrian portion of his party. The jour.
nal gives glowing account of the reception
of the great Mayer in that city, the hospi
talities of which was altogether foreign tC
the cold indifference and neglect predicted
for Kossuth in Louisville, but proved, in the
language of the J0urnal, to be SANDER up
on the brave citizens of Kentucky. The
same paper fatty denies the rumored dis
respectful language of KOssuth towards Mr.
Clay, but asserts on the other hand, tina
the latter was treated with the "prOfoundes
respect" by KosSuth. Wepublish elsewhere
the comments of the JoHr"0i upon the grea
questions involved in Kossuth's mission, ex
pressive, as they are, of what we believe t.
be the true policy of our country. We hop
that such high authority will relieve thos,
spasmodic and superstitious paroxysms which
has been communicated by the Notiona
hteltigencer to its responsive clairvoyant
throughout the country, upon the occasion
of Kossuth's visit, and that frightened, a
they have been, "out of their propriety,
the lessons of the Journal will have the cf
feet of improving both their "morals an,
manners" We shall endeavor in our mex
to publish Kossuth's speech in New Orleans
where he was warmly received, and made
according to the Picoyuae, favorable in
preston.

From the Charleston Standard
The Next Presidency.

We have heretofore, expressed, but little
interest in the approaching canvass for Pres
ident of the United States. Our indiffer-
enee to this matter was caused partly by the
pressure of State matters more important,
and partly by the hope, which, we have here
tofore INDUCED, that some united efforts
would be made to rally Southern party
The lapse of a few weeks will suffice to show
whether our State troubles are soon to be
ended. The present calm may prove de-
ceitful, but we live in hope of time of So
Der peace. When it shall come, with it
comes also the time for inquiry into the pros
poets of the Southern party. And here we
will not disguise our belief, that the pros
poets of that party are gloomy enough for
the present. Until some new emergency
shall arise to stir it into action, its candidate
for the Presidency could get only votes e.
nough to expose its weakness. The failure
of the convention in Alabama is manifest,
and other States have not failed, only be-
cause they have not ventured We do not,
therefore, expect another effort to rally a
Southern party upon present issues. All
hope of a successful movement to that end
is dead in the bosom of even the most san
guine. Divided councils at the South has
done its work, and we must now be content
to try the measure that is next best.
What, then, is that measure? Simpl,
this: we must support, as cordially as VIZ
can, the candidate for the Presidency wht
is most favorable to our interests. Their,
are some in our State who repudiate thi
policy, and desire that South Carolina SHOULD
stand alOof, though all her Southern sister
return to the contest in the Old ranks. Blu
they who support this do-nothing policy ar
destined to find few to keep them company
The body of the people are resolved to unit
once more with those Of the other Souther
States. And to this end, they are deter
mined to exert their lessitimate.infuence i
the next Presidential canvass. We can now
once for all, assure the friends Of the Cor
stitution, in and out Of the State, that Sout
Carolina will not stand aloof in the approach
9 ing contest. She looks with expectation {
the nomination, by the Democratic parry,
candidate who shall be acceptable to he
! such man as Buchanan, Douglas or Dalla
: OF any other who upholds the Constitute
+ as it Is, advocates al economical governmer
= and opposes the re-enactment of tart
: which would add another weight to tn,
which already presses so heavily upon ii
agricultural, commercial and Southern il
terests. Such man would unquestionabl
receive the support of very large majorit
D of our people. Despite the croakings of
few, South Carolina will assert her right
n choose the less of evils, content no long
/ to be isolated in feeling and in action fro
# the States that are so identical with her j
It terest, she will in the day of battle be four
at their side.

The Washington correspondent of the
Cleveland Herald gives the following descrip-
ton of the fight in the House of Represen-
tatives between Brown and Wilcox.
Brown gave Wilcox blow with his fist,
and Wilcox returned the first blow, with ma
sal precision; then the fighters clenched,
fell upon the floor, now Brown ''on top
now Wilcox-and all the while promiscu-
Gus choking, scratching, mauling, and hair
pulling-chairs and desks were upset and de-
ranged, honorable members rushed to the
"seat of war"-some seized hold of the hon
cradle fighters. and pulled them apart, 9th
crs cried for the sergeant-at arms-the ladies
in the galleries screamed, and the men and
boys rushed about wildly. After being sep
arated, and while being held like pair Of
"bull-dogs," Wilcox broke loose, mounted a
desk, and cried out, 81 can whip him." and
was about to leap upon his prey, when his
eye caught a member with an uplifted cane,
between him and Brown, and his ear caught
the words, "let him come, I'll beat his id
brains out''-and so the fight ended.

Who are employed in It's service, such orders
ought TO be instantly revoked, for the right
of speech is sacred, and our government
cannot intefere with il under any circum-
stances with the least show OF propricty. IL
i understood that persons worthy 10 be EN-
ployed in the public service are sufficiently
discreet to avoid making themselves often
sivc, and il il gross insult in any officer Of
our government to require silence Of such
persons.
1t is altogether probable that the present
year will not pass without war IN Europe,
aud that war when it comes will be con-
test between despotisn and democracy. VI
course, all the sympathies of all generous
hearts in this country will be with the strug-
Cling democracy in such contest. We
hope the people of the United States will,
when that contest comes, be ready to en-
courage in all practicable ways the vOtaries
of freedom, and that Congress will send
words of encouragement to them also
Thus much the people will exact of Congess,
and any representative who may refuse to
carry out their will in this respect, will, we
hope, be cast aside as unfit for public SER
vice.
The example and influence of our govern
ment have been very decidedly favorable to
the growth of free institutions throughout
the world. That example and influence
ought henceforth to be as eficacious as pos
sible on the side of liberty, not by direct in
reference in the affairs of other nations, but
by pursuing the even tenor of our way with
out stopping to inquire whether a Russian,
Austrian, or French tyrant will relish it or
not. Our nation mission is not to please ty-
rants, but rather to encourage people to
overthrow tyrants, which we ardently hope

The democracy OF the ancient common
wealth met in convention on the 23rd ult
TO appoint delegates to the Baltimore Ma
tional Convention, and 10 marshall their for
oes for the coming campaign. Over 600
delegates were in attendance After pro-

mode Of appointing officers for the cOnven-
cion, it was organized BY the election Of the
Hon Jno. S. Barbour as President, assisted
by largo number Of Vice Presidents. The

TIE very few papers in the United States,
says the Louisville journal, that are opposed
~ the extension Of democratic institutions in
Europe, arein the habit Of publishing all the
1,thy SANDERS which the enemies of Kossuth
invent, and when these ISLANDERS arc proved to
he utterly uufouudcd, these papers never
publish q word by which their readers are
able to know that the SANDERS have been re-
istcd.
