KOssuth's Letter.


The letter of Louis K0esuth to the Germans
of this country, condemning ths-action of the
United States upon the nomination OF George
Sanders as Consul to London.is certainly among
the novelties of the day. 1t is the first time that
we remember prirdte individual of any foreign
nation undertaking to condemn the legislation
of the country, because he may have thought
that ii would not comport with his particular
interests. Koesuth is undoubtedly a man OF
genius but of most defective judgment. The
Aattering reception he met with in this country
appears to have left the impression upon his
mind that his will and wishes ought to be C IL
suited By our government and our people. and
that the policy of the country should be sha ped
so as to benefit his schemes. If thS seed whirh
he deposited among the Germans OF our country
is bringing forth its legitimate fruit IN the gath
ering together of that class of our population
for the purpose of denouncing the measures Of
the administration, and insulting our Senator'S,
he has done but sorry service to his country
men. And if Kossuth himself can find no more
profitable employment than that of interference
in the national policy of the country which
treated him with such distinguished honor anst
unbounded hospitality, he had far better keep
quiet in his English residence. The honors ne
received in this country were the spontaneous
offerings of a free people for one who had failed
in glorious struggle for the liberty of bis own
land. But itwas the cause of human freedom
that we respected, not the man. The mistake OF
Kossuth seems to have been TO apply these hon
ors to himself, and to assume consequence
thereon; which will not be acknowledged either
by our government or our people.--While strug
Cling for freedom IN bis native land, or suffering
from tyranny in another, the sympathies of our
people gathered around him; but when he fool
ishly attempts to dictate the policy of our gov
ernment and to SOW the seeds of dissatisfaction
among our citizens, who claim birthright on
his own continent he will speedily find that our
sympathies will follow our judgment, and be
will loose all influence over either.
