A Letter From KOssuIh.


New-York Times, Of the esd Feb has a
letter from Kossuth on the impressions which
the late movements in this country make upon
the Democracy of Europe. If it were not SO
long we would copy it entire, but it overruns
two columns of the Times, and it IS quite be-
yond our capacity TO reproduce, with due re-
gard to other matters.
This letter is one of the most severe and
caustic reviews of young America, and the
present weak, puerile, and used up admLstra.
lion that has appeared for many months. His
ridicule of the fawning sycophants and dema-
gogues that hung around him his keen. He is
indignant that America has let slip the glorious
opportunity of making its mark upon the affairs
of Europe, He still aGheres to his idea that we
shall repudiste the admonitions of Washington
and the settled policy Of our Government and
embroil ourselves in the quarrels of nations be-.
yOnd tie Atlantic Ocean. Impressed with this
sentiment. he had strong faith in the windy
promises Of young America. How much more
bitter has been his disappointment

and the condition of affairs before the Presiden,

PLAQUEMINE:
Saturday, July IA. 1855.

TThe National Intellgencer refers to the
dangers that now threaten our Federal Union
from North and South. There may be, in the
South, men who desire dissolution of the
Union-but they are "few and far between."-
In that section Of country the love of the Uni
on-as formed by the Constitution and with
the protection and guarantees ofthe Constitu.
tion-is deep and all-pervading. The "danger'
comes alone from the fanaticism, the traitorous
principles, and the incendary movements en-
gendered in the North. When we see such
State as massachusetts, swinging from her
moorings and turning against the Union, what
are we to expect? That State has just nulli-
fled law Of the land, passed in pursuance OF
the provisions Of the constitution. There can
be no love of the Union there. Nor will reason-
able men wonder that the South should begin
to prepare for any emergency, 10 view Of Nor
thern disunionism. .- ~. ~ ..se5
