SANDERS AND KOsSUTH.

The name of George N. Sanders is 5y no means
unfamiliar to those Of our readers who keep them.
selves posted in regard to American politics. IIo
was conspicuous wirc-pullor in the Presidential
election of 1862, being recognised one of the
leaders of the Young America wing of the sham
Democracy. Having control of the Democratic
Review, he waged savage and unreler ting war
upon tho old fogies' and standing Presidential
candidates of the party, thus paving the way for
the nomination and election of Franklin PIERCE
lie was a regular fllibuser, avowed champion
Of slavery, and mixed up with all the secret
ments of the Shareholders for the acquisition Of
Cuba. President Pierce appointed him United
States Consul at London, where he laboured con
stan,ly to effect an alliance between the RepnLh-
can leaders Of Europe and tho fllibusering pro-
slavery Democracy of tho United States ard to in
6uce the former, in all their discussion Of Ameri.
can affairs, to ignore the question of slavery and
treat the spectators i'll human flesh sound and
reliable Democrats. With Kossuth his labours to
this end were evidently quite successful, but MAJ
zini, the leader of the Republicans of Italy, was
too honest wei as too sagacious to attempt to
purchase the aid of American shareholders in tho
work ef establishing freedom in Europe by con.
sentng to conceal his views of slavery. On tho
lst Of June, 1854, there appeared in tho London
Morning Advertiser a letter from him to the Rev.
DR.. Beard written in answer to an invitation to
attend an anti-slayery meeting in Manchester, aud
avowing in most unequvocal terms, his sympathy
with the antl-slavery movement This letter alarm
ed Mr. Sanders and, in order to counteract its in
luence in the United States for it likely to
upset his project of an alliance between the save-
holding Democracy and the Republicans of Eu-
lrope), he, taking advantage Of Mazzinis absence
from England, haiched up story to the effect that
the letter was an old one, and that it only an
layowal o. abstract opinions having relation to
the organized movements against slavery. Kos
sutb, in cunningly worded letter, endorsed this
lie, and thus set on its legs, it ran through the

could follow it. The truth was thai Mazzini's let
ter was not an old one at ALL 1t had been written
only three months before, in answer to m invita-
ton to attend a meeting at which American sla
very was expected to be prominent topic. MAJ
zini, moreover, as was we'll known among his
friends in England, had previously expressed his
warm admiration of the leaders of the antslavery
movement in the United States. 1t is hardly
likely that this fact was unknown to Sanders and
Kossuth
Mr. Sanders subsequently, quarreed with Presi1
dent Pierce aud, consequently, his nomination
was not confirmed by the Senate. lie came back
the United States, and from that W to this hG
has been employed in promoting the schemes of
that portion Of the Democratic party which
CARDS the President as not sufficiently thorough
and hearty in support of slavery. For some time
past he has been wire-working ameng the French
and German Republicans Of Il city, in the hope
of acquiring influence over them and thereby
magnifyhg bis own personal consequence and
power in the approaching Presidential election
The scheme all concocted by the leaders, and
the occasion selected for its consummation was the
anniversary Of tho French Republic of 1892, nc
which Mr.. Sanders, Robert ], Walker and certain
French and German orators were to figure. The
meeting, however, proved an utter failure the per-
intended to be yictimized Icing too sagacious
to be caught in Mr.. Sanders's pro-savery trap
Only small number Of persons were present and
Mr.. S. appeared to be sensible that il was the fear
Of ixad nm in a demonstration
that kept people away. He illustrated his moral
status by declaring, I'm for the guillotine, and
ia work IL by steam, by ---." The meeting, he
said, was for white men, not for nggers. He of.

and wait until '57. Cuba aud tho Elsineur tax
will be their opportunity"
What he asked, can we do for niggers He
waxed profane. and denounced the clergy of New
England, who had signed the remonstranee against
