The south-western. [volume] (Shreveport, La.) 1852-1870, 1855-08-01

The foreign party has gained new ally,
and a most proper coadjutor he IS too. L IS
no less parsonage than Louis kossuth, who
a feY years since travelled through this coun-
try, seot-free, making long metaphorlcal speech
es to enlighten the benighted Americans IN re-
gard to their political institutions and the du-
ty ofrepublics; who visited Washington, aud
informed the president, Clay, Calhoun, WEB
ster, and the senators and representatives OF
congress generally, that they did not understand
tbe true meaning of the constitution of the U.
States; and, finally, abused 'sthe Father OF his
Country'' for the warning he gave the Amerl-
can people in his farewell address. Surely no
more fit leader and champion for the Plercl1es
could possibly be found than this same LOUIS
Kossuth, who, like the Office holders, organs,
makes it t.grand principle to malign and
vilify every thing that is American by NAME
or American by nature. A most appropriate
alliance. .rs .s-
Mr.. Kossuth publishes in the y. York Times
one of his pompous, long winded, verbose let
ters, reviewing the know nothing movement,
and, although he candidly acknowledges the
existence of many political abuses IN the U.
States, for which foreigners are responsible, ex-
presses his entire disapprobation of the new
party and its doctrines. 1t is a pity that the
know nothings neglected to ask the permission
Of the ex-governor of Hungary previous to or
ganising their first council; for, of course if
they had known the movement would meet the
displeasure of his red feathered excellency, they
would have abandoned it. Now there. is no
other way left ofappeasing his wrath than that
of formally disbanding the know nothings and
making them swear allegiance to the foreign
party. Perhaps by this means he might be
induced to forgive the Americans for having
been so presumptlous as to think for themselves.
We extract the following paragraph from the
great charlatan' S letter: sa.-5
Its being underlined, is its chief attraction;
md its secrecy its foment. Men put their own
upon the generalities, which in
,roWd. Those generalities suit many, if not
like the ambiguous words Of the
ancient oracles. The masses take the bait:
hey rush in, in hope to find in the higher de-
frees of initiation their particular expectation
ealised. In The meanwhile they receive their
riders from mysterious authorities, and they 7
bey,-blind instruments of an unknown will. /
And behind the veil which screens the ''image
f sails" and which no profane hand dare raise,
here are sitting three or five men,-perhaps
anatics, perhaps phlanthropists, perhaps am
itious, or even imposters,-wbo can tell?-
erhaps they mediate great aims; perhaps
hey laugh in their sleeves, and mean nothing
ut themselves. But among the know moth
1gs they at least know what they are about,
nd knowingly move the vast machinery of
1ose who know nothing.
We may expect next a letter from the re-
owned count Nesselrode, whom the democra-
C Office holders at Baton Rouge some months
ack courtcd fattered, feasted, endorsed, and
len recommended to the planters on the coast
stting forth at large his objections to the know
othings. "
