ltsecms that this is not a frec ss,f
governing people. 1t seems that tho
executive and legislative officers cbns
cn BY the people Of this country G,vs.
to answer for their official acts at tbe.
bar of Europe, and that Nj. Kossuth,
Is the high presiding ftnotionary at
mat bar. The most august leuisln,ivn.
tribunal in the world, the United States,
Senate in the exercise of undisputcd
powers-powcrs not questioned in tL;s.
country-ls taken to task. by th,b
notorious individual for its refi,soI ~,
rat'ly the nomination of Mr.. Sanders
as consul to London. He has ad
dressed long letter to a gentleman of
this country. to operatc upon tlo e.,
We yield to no one ii ID tlc ,''i mosc 'oS
atfectionatc kindness to Mr.. Sanders.
No Oh could Eiore rejoice at his pros.
perity and happiness than ourselves ::
none could moro regret the Occurrences
of thing tending to injure or to'mor-
tify him.
But our relations to Mr.. Sanders
cannot in anywise affect our estimate
Of the officious Interference of anv
European power, or any European
prince, leader, or demagogue with the
affairs OF this government.
By what right does kossuth seek TO
influence the counseIs and the actions of
this government He is not native
of this country-he is not natural
lied citizen. His home is in Europe.
Ills interests and ambitions are all
there. When a fugitive and wonder
er, he was welcomed to our shores
like friend, and was teted like prince.
His progress through this country was
Ia succession Of triumphs. Cities
opened their gates to him with glad
ness, and their populations aocked to
greet him. Our hearts poured out to
him and his attendants the sincerest
sympathy, and our treasures were be.
slowed with lavish prodigalty. His
only feeling towards us should be one
Of gratitude.
| But how does he requitc our kind
ness! lie returns TO Europe and
writes letters designed and calculated
to dlssatlsty our adopted citizens with
the actions Of our government. He
seeks to transfer to our peaceful shores
the strltes, the wars and convulsions Of
Europe. A wandercr from his own
country, without crown, sceptre, office
or power, he erects himself into mon.
arch over the foreign 1putatior of the
United States, and haughtily issues
his orders and his edicts to them
Does he forget that his countrymen
here are free? Does he forget that
they have solemnly renohhced their
allegiance to ali foreign kings, princes,
potentates and powers, and taken the
oath OF allegiance to this free country2
ne treats them as if they were for
e'sn host, encamped amongst us TO
cary out European views and pro.
Jrcts. fic seeks to influence, in favor
OF his plans abroad, the votes they have
acquired in right of their naturaliza-
ton. lie seeks to prejudice thon,
against the United States Senate,
because that body has not thought fit
to act as he would have them act.
We believe that NJ. kossuth, when
amongst us, did more by his vanity,
, ms ostcntation and his ofiicous in.
science to inJure the cause of European,
republican progress in this country
than all the despots Of Europe could
do' lie alighted amongst us as god
nc departed from us humbug. He
went up like sky.rocket; he came
, down like n stick.
