with the action of our government. He seeks
to transfer to our peaceful shores the strifes,
thewars, and the commissions Of Europe. AVIAN
derer from his own country, without crown, scep-
tire, Office, orpower, he erects himselfintoa mon
arch over the foreign population Of the United
States, and haughtily issues his orders and his
edicts to them. Does he forget that his coun-
trymen here are free? Does he forget that
they have solemnly renowned their allegiance
to all foreign kings princes potentates, and
powers, and taken the oath of allegiance to
this free country? He treats them as if they
were foreign host encamped amongst us TO
carry out European views and projects. He
seeks TO influence, in favor of his plans abroad,
the votes they have acquired in right of their
naturalization. He seeks to prejudice them
against the United States Senate, because that
body has not thought fit to act as he would
have them act.
We believe that M. Kossuth when amongst
us, did more, by his vanity, his ostentation, and
his oficious insolence, to injure the cause of
European republican progress in this country,
than all the despots Of Europe combined could
do. He alighted amongst us as a god; he de-
parted from us as a humbug. He went up like
a sky-rocket; he came down like stick.

AS an indication of the sentiments of the
New York hards in relation to the Nebraska
bill, we copy from one Of their leading journals
the Albany Argus, the following remarks on
Mr.. Cuttings motion Of reference, and the vote
given thereon. The Argus says:
"The affirmative vote, it will be seen, in
cludes many well known friends of the principle
of the bill, who can be relied upon to sustain
it by their voices and their votes, not from any
considerations connected with "a slippery ad-
ministration," or its still more slippery adhe-
rents south and north, but because they believe
it to be in harmony with the spirit of the ma
tional compact with the compromises of 1850,
and the just rights Of the States.
"Two of the three New Hampshire mem
bers, and nearly all Of the New York delega-
ton, it will be seen, voted to place this mea-
sure in a position where, by majority vote, il
can be reached whenever the House gets into
Committee of the Whole on the state of the
Union. The only dodging and detection ap-
pears to have been among the softs, several
of whom, Dean, Rowe, &C., &C., deserted the
administration in this crisis. Those Of them
who were present on the call of the roll, forced
to face the music, voted with the majority.
The Senate bill is now where the House
bill is, instead of sleeping on the Speakers
table or in the hands of the Committee on Ter
ritories; and, we repeat, is within the control
Of a majority of the House, who, whenever so
disposed, can take it up, amend, and perfect it,
and put it on its passage. -
So also can majority of the House termi-
nate debate in committee, and fix the time
when amendments shall be disposed OF, and
the bill itself brought to final vote. We do
not see how the position of the bill could be
improved, if it is to be debated or amended at
all; and without some amendment in its de
tails, it probably would not receive the requisite
vote to pass it. With such amendments as
those indicated by Mr.. Cutting, it win no doubt
pass the House, and in good time"
Washington sentinel., 1854-03-28
KossurH AGAIN IN THE FIELD,

1t seems that this is not free selfgoverning
lative officers chosen by the people of this
country have to answer for their official acts at
the bar of Europe, and that NJ. Kossuth is the
high presiding functionary at that bar. The
most august legislative tribunal in the world,
the United States Senate, in the exercise Of its
pndisplted powers-powers not questioned in
this country-is taken to task by that notorious
individual for its refusal to ratify the nomina-
tion Of Mr.. Sanders as consul to London. He
has addressed long letter to gentleman in
this country to operate upon the foreigners
here. This letter we publish in another col.
umn.
We yield to no one in the most afectionate
kindness to Mr.. Sanders. No one oonld more
rejoice at his prosperity and happiness than
ourselves; none could more regret the occur
renee of anything tending to injure or to NOR
tify him.
But our relations to Mr.. Sanders cannot in
anywise affect our estimate of the oficious in
TERRENCE Of any European power, or any Euro
pean prince, leader, or demagogue, with the
affairs Of this government.
BY what right does Kossuth seek TO influence
the counsels and the action Of this govern
ment? He is not a native of this country.
He is not naturalized citizen. He is not
even an unnaturaiized citizen His home is
in Europe. His interests and, his ambitions
are all there. When fugitive and wanderer,
he was welcomed to our shores like friend.
and was .tsted like a prince. His progress
through this country was succession Of
triumphs. Cities opened their gates to him
with gladness, and their populations aocked to
greet him. Our hearts poured out to him and
his attendants the sincerest sympathy, and our
treasures were bestowed with lavish prodigality
His only feeling towards us should be one Of
gratitude.
But how does he requite our kindnessf he
returns to Europe and writes letters designed
and calculated to dissatisfy our adopted citizens

CONGRESS-.

In the Senate, yesterday, the deficiency bill
was considered, and various amendments report
ed by the Committee on Finance were agreed
to. The amendment appropriating s250,OOO
for the purchase of new site for custom
house at San Francisco, the title to the present
site being in dispute, together with another
amendment appropriating 100000 for rebuild,
ing the custom-house at Portland, Maine, led
to protracted debate. No vote was taken on
either proposition. The Indian appropriation
bill was received from the House, and referred.
Mr. Mason moved that the Senate proceed to
the consideration of executive business and,
on this motion, debate arose upon the merits
Of the homestead and other bills. Mr.. Clayton
having suggested the propriety of debating in
secret session the motion TO consider executive
business, and Mr.. Mason having moved that
the doors be shut for that purpose, and the
Chair deciding that the galleries should be
cleared, Mr.. Shields appealed from the deci-
sion Of the Chair. The appeal was debated at
length, and resulted in the decision of the
Chair being sustained-yeas 20, nays 8. The
doors were then closed, and after some time
opened, and the Senate adjourned.
The House Of Representatives passed the
Indian appropriation bill and bill to estab.
lish additional land districts in the Territory Of
Minnesota. The Pacific railroad bill was made
the special order for the third Tuesday in May,
and the bill authorizing the construction Of six
frst-class steam-irigates was made the special
order for to-day. The House went into Com
mittee of the Whole on the state of the Union,
and took up the general appropriation bill,
when Messrs. Cutting and Breckenridge en-
tered into personal explanations, of an exciting
character, relative to the Scnate's Nebraska
bill
