KossIrTHs ADDRESS.

TIIrsDAY MORNING.. MARCH e, 1853.
KoSSUTHS ADDRESS.
w. briefly noticed on Saturday last the pro-
.,nc;.mento of Kossuth to the German po-
nuI,tion of the United States. dated mo. 81
k,nh.. Road, Regents Park, London, March
"a 1871, The letter is devoted to an expires
.;on Of the displeasure of Kossuth at the re-
fusal of the U. s. Senate to confirm the nomi-
nation Of Mr.. George N. Sanders as U. 3.
Consul at London. Mr.. kossuth says, that
Mr.. Sanders having had an influential part in
thu election of Gen. Pierce, and having ac-
Quilted himself theoretically in his present
position. he was much surprised "by the
seeming Inconsistency, not rant Of pr'n-
eiple," which the Senate of the United States
has shown in its action. He says Mr. San
ders was "a real Republican, a man OF prin'
ciple, a real American statesman that' as
IT, s. Consul, he has proved himself warm
friend of the cause of European hoer'y' anu
that the Senate, by their refusal to conhrm
his appointment, have dealt heavy blow to
the cause. He adds "Ihe recollection of
the history of the United States and the To-
gical tradition of the fundamental principles
of the foundation of States, gave us to ex-
pect that America would assist in the cause
of Freedom in Europe. The present Presi-
dent at least acknowledged that America is
vet indebted for her freedom to Europe
Even il she do not choose to be of any use to
U.S. we may reasonably ask of her not to in
terfere with our interests. This we have a
right to demand, before God, the world, and
history
Our readers are familiar with the antece-
dents of Mr.. George N. Sanders, whose re-
lection by the Senate has drawn from Kos
suth this extraordinary production. As editor
of the Democratic Review, he converted that
digniied and conservative periodical into
Red Republican mouth-piece, of the rankest
and most radical kind. In refusing to con-
firm his appointment, the Senate of the U.
States will be sustained by ninety.nine out
of every hundred of the intelligent citizens
of America. Whether that be so or not,
however, it is none of Mr.. Kossuth's bust
ness His attempt to lecture the American
Senate, is of piece with the magnificent as
surance displayed during his tour in this
country. People will only smile at an effort
about as practicable as that of Mrs. Parting
ton, to sweep back with her broomNhe tides
of the ocean. But when he seeks to arouse
the German citizens of the U. States in hostil
ity to the Senate of the U. S., when in fact hi
endeavors to nourish and sustain German
nationality in this country, not only distinc
from but inimical to the authorities and policy
of our government he proves himself pub
lie enemy, and will be regarded as such, no
only by the native citizens of the U. States
but by every German who is animated by al
intelligent and loyal devotion to the land 0
his adoption.
America, he says, is indebted for her free
dom to Europe And "even if she do no
choose to be of any use to US, we may reason
ably ask of her not to interfere with our in
terests.n America owes the vindication o
her freedom to her own strong arm, witt
which. for seven long years, she set at def
ance English, Hessians and Indians, receiy
ing the aid of France only when she hat
proved able to help herself, and then that ait
was given more from hatred on the part o
France to England than oflove to America
AS to our being of no use to the party repre-
scented by Kossuth, that may very well be-
He might have learned before he left the Uni
ted States, that we are not to be used by hin
in the way he desires Whilst our best wishes
attend the efforts of all men who struggle fol-
lo, 90 i,
our policy, to send an army and navy to their
relief We hav'nt an army and navy to de-
fend ourselves much less to help others
But, still in our humble way, we seek to be of
use to the oppressed of all nations giving
them refuge, a home, the means of subsis-
tence, and equal civil and religious rights
with ourselves. Most of them appreciate
these blessings, and are grateful for them
The few who are not, ought to leave the
United States and 60 back where they came
from, or settle in some country, if they can
find it, where they will be better treated than
they are here.
MIR. Kossuth may stassured that while the
people of the United States strongly sympa-
fhize with the oppressed of every land, and
while they greet with warm hearts and hosn;
table hands the exiles from Europe, they have
no sort of intention, not the most remote. O.

LOUIS NAPOLEON.
At recent dinner in England, given il
honor of the brave old Sir Charles Ma
pier, who goes out in command of the Brit
ish squadron for the Baltic, Lord Palmerstor
proposed sentiments in honor of various dis
tinguished personages, and among them Louis
Napoleon, which were very enthusiastically
cheered by all present. Lord Palmerston
eulogized Louis to the skies; he made him
out one of the ahlest frank ast ,,,os.
