land laurvtn? ■ ttn-Koi»« h.SttQDdesenbe setDuring the paai year we hive frequently ex pressed the belief mat erne of the great political Jparties—doubtless the lt;i«ceri^N-twM he j1 *** ipObUlt; ot amwill 1 regre will tnualP.aoctdof oaif§iChilamp 1 chicompelled to tike up a new political quest nn in order to keep down and smother the issue of alarery and maintain harmony north and south } roenlt; in the party. We cou hi not eoaceiw what other than the Land Reform quest ion could answer this purpose; accordingly we were in hopes that this moat just and universally beneficent meat ure would be carried triumphantly through the next Presidential election. -'T But lo, an oilier trumpet has already sounded, the toeeta peais an alarm, and a new an ututn tiopated issue ia presented by the democracy of the country. The question, now is shall this country give aid and comfort to the struggling freemen of Europe? Shalt the republic abandon j ^I®Pi the policy ot non-intervention w e have hitherto | mel preserved, and adopt an active intervention in W live ail airs ot European nations! Shall we step *rtic!I qflg I m ja 1in between the oppressor and the oppressed to say **|Ufl0$ be still—no mam. I^ Well, we deem it high time to make this change ot pokey. Monarchy now stands in Europe only by s convulsive effort—a vaatj standing army of more than 2,000,000 ol men ^al is kept np to keep down tbe people and uphold | riort Kingcraft. A few regiments of Americans, says j 2rad-the, London “Leader, would werk wonders in Europe. Let them go when the blow is struck- | 0rtieAs to danger ot coming into collision wilh United Europe, there is nothing of it. Europe ha mote than she can do to maintain order within their own bounds, and there is no dangerto apprehend.Intimately connected with this subject is the recent course ot Kossuth and the command-: er of the American ship Mississippi that was flint to convey him to our shores. Some attempts have been made by the torv journals of England to prejudice this noble patriot and philanthropist among the people of our own country.But if we undent and the question, it is thecommander ot the Mississippi who has erredand shamefully blundered in Ids mission. He w as sent to bring Kossuth not as a prifconer%but as a guest whom the nation was anxious toand i dipkhonor. If, therefore, Kossuth desired tp call atTtof ciics’ ] sped turet vaniimpiwouthencaveTfinPalsex hiany port of P rance or England, and Exchange salutations with freemen who are with us in I wittTlfaith and feeling, what) should have prevented j this courtesy? But when Kossuth desired to 4^1 slop in France for but a brief space, b our com- their mander fears his country will be brought into I JJffi co'lrerm with France—no, not with France but ! rongj with tyrants under the cloa^. of republicanism *be h wito attempt to ru e France by destroying tli{tt5 press and with a large Standing army! Away with such puerile American ism.Kwstuth desired to kirn the views of tlie democratic leaders of France and Germany—it was important bcth to Sis bleeding country and to us also that be should have an understanding with them But the American Captain woe Id bring him as a prisoner or not at all! Let any one look into 1 his case lie fore censuring Kossuth.Let it be remembered that Ufe officers of the America Navy, mar.y of them, are imbued with the very opposite of republican senumen s;They associate, while in Europe, with men 01 titles and tinsel, instead of mingling with dtm ocrats—they learn to despi-e the power of thMesiOtetc.,menthe 1SohapstastemgsTisey, alt faAPaincomlandV. *Hpeople—denounce them as “the rabble,11 and while hob cobbing with dukes and princes,besi - j cora tate not to stigmatise the leaders ia the leariul I struggles for liberty in Europe, as rebels andanarchists. Tbe following paragraph from the New Yorfc Tribune, presents a true picture 01 American officers ir. the Mcdeierraniau:uitir a yotet 0iatec of fhbtounwbeiragerent!They frequerit Italy ?.nd associate theremainly with Austrian or Neapolitan officers and dignitaries, and naturally absorb and assimilate very much, tar two much at any ra’e, of tbtir peculiar ideas and animosities. It will be remembered cot Jons ago an American Commodore received tbe King of Naples—a man no- j cons torious tor his crimes, the scorn of all freemen j |ier , in Europe, compared with whom ti e midnight I , murderer is honest anl.apotken,—wMi all pas Ig sible honors upon the deck of his. ship; and we negr are credibly inJownad.
