TIE N. Y. Press On KossUTHs LETTER.
Tho Herald snvs.

TIE N. Y. Pass on KossUTH's LETTER
The Herald says:
1t is visionary, vaporing, and devoid Of all
practical meaning Mr.. Saunders could
hardly have found worse advocate to plead
his cause before the American people.
The Evening Post says:
In this sheet will be found an address,
with the signature of kossuth. to the Ger
mans of the Uuited States, which has been
published in the Boston journals. 1t censures
the act of the United States Senate rejecting
the nomination of George N. Saunders rs
Consul at London. 1t is pity that Kos
suth should not coniine himself to the dis
cussion of matters which he understands.
His interference in behalf Of Sanders holds
out very indiscrcet invitation to ridculc and
unfriendIy remark.
The Courier g. Enquirer says:
History will probably mention the name
of Louis Kossuth; and whatever other dis
tinction she may deny to him, she can
not refuse to blazon him rs the most i'm.
pudcnt man of his epoch. Ills previous acts
of eifrontery need no rehearsal, and to those
he has Just added one which is the cap slIcat
of the stack. The letter which he has adj
dressed to the German population Of the
United States, through DR.. Howe Of Boston,
is certainly the finest specimen of cool, de-
libcratc impertinence, in public man, which
has been made public for generation or
two.
The Tribune has pretty sharp article in
relation to it:
Just on the eve of the last Presidential
clcclion-wc believe it was on the morning
of election day-Col. llcnningsen, the sccre'
tary and confidential agent of Gov. kossuth
! published in the Stats Zcitung, II letter tt
our German icllow-citizens, cXhorting them
in the name of kossutIi, to vote for Genera
Pierce for President, because his election
would be more favorable to liberty and re
publcanism in Europe than that Of Genera
Scott. What Gov Kossuth thinks Of The
President lie thus helped TO make may bl
inferred from his letter, not written by MIR
Ienningscn, published in our columns or
Saturday last. lie is evidently disappointed
in his man. No wonder. Genius and great
ness are apt to strike out in unexpected
paths.
