PROM TIE RICHMOND DISPATCH.
Letters from Kossuth, Mazzini and Ledru
Rolin to Geo. ~. Sanders
Annexed is a letter written by these rcvolu-
tionary leaders Ia G. \. Sanders on hearing of
his rejection by the Senate of the United States.
We presume that no one who reads the letter but
must be struck with the arrogance and audaciy
OF its authors, and must feel a want of confidence
in my cause which depends upon such leader
ship for success. In fact, we to wonder
that each of them has been the hero of n failure,
and by the past, we can safely predict their flu
ture Truly, IN llnstrious triumyirate, to sit in
judgment upon the Senate of the American Re
public.
GEORGE n, SANDERS, Esq London
DEAR SIR We just learn from the public
papers the astounding and unexpected news that
the Senate of the United States declined TO con
hrm your nomination to the United States Con-
snlate at London
We cannot forbear 10 express our deep regret
and modification at this untoward occurrence.
We are prompted ta express this our regret
not only frolH private feelings of affection which
we are owing in return for the friendship we and
our fellow oXiles Mt large have experienced from
you, but we are likewise prompted 10 do so on
weghty considerations of u pu lie character
Sir while the European Cabinets combine a
we consider IT, we'll from community of into
rest rs also from consistency, not 10 shy from n
due remembrance ii Tire assistance received in
trying days, tobe She political duty of Republican
America, 10 eeuntenance the Democratic prin-
cipe, and % lend, il not more. at lenst her moral
aid To the Republicans in Europe.
This cNpectption sig. is ooniormnblo to ma
| ture, aud SO logical. that it enters in the nppre-
hensicns ot the fhonarchcal Cabinets, and in the
/ homes of fine ouprp spl1 Inns tuuoll,
However, though popular manifestations of
public opinion in the Guted States and Prcs-
Dental messages and corresponding resolutions
of your Legislative Government may certainly
Justify this expectation, sir, yet it Is not to he
doubted that il is tho diplomatic agents of the
United States in Europe who are called upon to
represent most efficiently thc power and vitality
Of the Republican principle, in the very eyes Of
monarclnoal Europv and Ia assert its compo-
tent JuXtaposition, ms well n social us in political
regards provided they always act publicly as
well as privately y, in accordance with that same
Republican principle upon which the very foun-
datlon al your eoantIy rests
Unfortunately, Sir II until now but by
rare praiseworthy exceptions, that public opinion
III Europe was gladdened by the view of such a
representation nj Republican America fact
certainly neither advantageous 70 the interests
OF Ropublcanism in general, nor adding to the
consideration abroad of Republican America.
But you, Sir, we had the high qualification to
see gentleman perfectly consistent in the rep
resentNton OF your oeuntry's Democratic char
meter such in a word as European Democracy
wishes to see fine representatives. of Republican
Americas; true not only in their official activity,
but also in their social life; to the character OF
America.
Besides, Sin, it is a duty on our part thankful
| ~ to acknowledge your prompt and hearty read
iness So advance the cause of Democracy in Eu-
wifi NIL tha tl,o Il,
ties incumbent your official position; and Will,
we can but applaud the discretion You never fail
ed to use IN paying due regard TO the established
relations Of your Government we in the same time
beg leave 10 assure you Cd our grati6ed appre-
citation of all the valuable and important services
you have rendered during your short stay amone
US, as well to the cause of Democracy in gener-
AL as also TO many of the representatives in par
tioular-seryices the more important and more
veiuable as it is obvious that the political CON
junctures of Europe have come to an essential
turning point, when that concord and union
which, among other particular services, you so
happily succeeded to cement between tho differ
emit fractions of European Democracy, cannot
prove but vitality beneficial to the cause.
And it is at such moment, sir, that the vote
o the Senate of the United States reverses the
leaf, and gives full scope to the msrepresenta-
ton, thatit is precisely on account Of the mark
ed sympathy you have shown to tie Democracy
IN EUROPE thi your continuation has been with
held.
That is a hard and mischieyous blow at tho
prospects OF that democracy, just at this moment,
dear sir we regret TO say that il will cause great
rejoicing in all despotic quarters, but will also
cause IN Democratic quarters a regret aud dis
couraglng disappointment, such is.
We cannot believe, dear sir That such could
have been fire design of the Senate of tho Uni
ted States, but sure it that such is the lamcn-
table effect, and we cannot forbear to hope that
the knowledge of the lamentable bearing may
yet induce reconsideration which we most fer
Gently wish
Yet, however that be, dear sir, we are CA the
eve of great events--some of those who now ad-
dress you exiles, may probably soon Toe called
upon to act with the authority of their trium-
| plant respective nations and in that event, sir
we beg you to be assured that there will be more
than one among us, who shall prove to you that
the Republics of Europe are not forgetful of re-
ceived servicns,and know how 20 appreciate their
true friends.
In the meantime please to accept once more
the expression of our profound regret, also the
assurance Of our high appreciation and sincere
thankfulness.
