According to arrangement, Kossuth was intro- duced te the Senate, yesterday; shortly after which, in order that the Senators and visiters might have an opportunity ef paying their respects to the dis- tinguished guest, the body adjourned. The House paseed the resolution for a committee of five to introduce the Magyar, by yeas 123, nays 54. No business of consequence was transacted in either house. Cur Washington tele:raphic correspondent in- forms us that in his interview with tho Secretary of the Interior, Kessuth acknowledged that his mission to this continent had been a failure. From his inquiries relative to the method of procuring land, it is inferred that the Magyar has some idea of abandoning, for the present, his purpose of renew- ing the war in Hungary, and following the more pacific policy of the veteran Gov. Ujhazy, who has very wisely settled down nthe West, and turned his attention to the cultivation of the rich soil in that region. From Albany, we learn that caucuses were held last evening for the purpose of nominating candi- dates for officers of the Senate and Assembly. Ira P. Barnes was selocted by the democrats for Clerk ofthe Senate. The democratic members of the Assembly chose lerael T. Hatch, of Erie county, for Speaker, and Jas. M. Elwood, for Clerk. The whigs nominated Jonas C. Heartt, of Rensselaer, for Speaker of the Assembly, and R. M. Sher- | wood, for Clerk. The Legislature will meet to-day. The accounts relative to the insurrection in Northern Mexico are so contradictory that it is utterly impossible to arrive at the truth. One ac- count states that Caravajal had fled inte Texas, after bombarding Ceralvo for two days, and that the revolution was believed to have been effectually suppressed. A later despatch represents that one thousand men had reinforced Caravajal, who was again preparing to take the field. It is also inti mated that Canales, the notorious Mexican geno” ya!, was making overtures to the revolutionists, and that the governmen: was exceedingly anxious to compromise matters. after a very severe battle, an account of which will be found in another column 1c Havana to the 30th ult., were yes- ierday received by the steamer Empire City.

In the evening, a very strong manifestation was exhibit- @d, inthe Board of Aldermen, by the passage of resolutions calling upon the heads of departments to render full and particular accounts, showing the expenditures, contracts, &e., &e., since the or- ganization of those departmonts. Retrenchment | and reform appear, at present, to be the order of ihe day. Time, however, will teil the story. Lirris ann Liven Svits.—The Courier and Enquirer states that the Art Union Society has commenced a libel euit against the Henavn, be- cause of the statement made in our columns, that the committee of management entertained themselves with oysters and champagne uppers, at the expense of the corporation. Perhaps they have begun a libel suit, and perhaps they will get enough of it before it closes. An in- qairy before a court and jury upon the subject, will be quite interesting and amusing. We are happy to state, however, that no libel suit was ever com- mencetl against ue for violating the confidence of a deceased friend, or for dragging a wite and family, | in a most disgraceful manner, before a prurient community. We are very happy to state that no libel bas ever been commenced against us for charging a respectable man, in a respectable posi- tion in society, with theft and robbery. We are happy, also, to state that no progecution was ever commenced against us from which it was necessary procure a pardon from the State prison, from the Governor, in advance.

Kossuth has ondes- Vored, in innumerable speeches, to impress on the Public mind that he did not come across the At- lantie with the intention of finding s home or place of refage; on the contrary, he came here with the great object in view of seeking the aid of the government and the people to bring about a reve lution in Hungary and throughout Europa, and to prevent hereafter, by the intervention of the United States, the combination of Russian and Austrian powers to put down any further attempt at rovolu- tion in their dependencies. In Staten Island, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington, this has been announced by him in his speeches, 28 the great and loading object which brought him across the ocean. His friends and exclusive advo- cates have endeavored to impress on the public mind the same ideas which he labored to circulate through his innumerable orations. There isa natural sympathy in every Amorican bosom in favor of liberty—political, religious, and social. The efforts of every people, in every quar- terofthe globe, to attain this independence, will always be kindly looked upon by the people of the United States. The sympathy of this country was therefore excited by the arrival of Kossuth. But it seems, from recent developements made in this city, that the intervention of the United States in favor of European liberty comprises not all the objeots of Kossuth’s mission to this land. During his resi- dence in this metropolis, a certain arrangement was made by one of his intimate friends and asso- ciates, and concurred in by Kossuth himself, for the purpose of establishing a newspaper organ in this city, in the German language. This arrangement, which has been made and carried out, openly and publicly, throws a great deal of additional light— indeed, startling light—on tho objects of Kossuth’s mission here, and the purposes which he entertains, n conjunction with his fellow-exiles in this land. An explanation of this may be fund in the fol- lowing extracts which our German translator has made from the Demokratischer Voelkerbund, @ newly re-organized German newspaper in this city, and which openly avows its purposes, its objects, its principles, its editors, and all its affiliations. Messrs. Gyurman and Wutschel an- nounce themselves ac the editors of this journal, and give their readers a programme of their princi- ples and purposes. Among the principles which this newspaper orgen has adopted, to promulgate among the German population of this country, are, arepeal of the Fugitive Slave law, and of the pre- sent public land system, which have been adopted and avowed by various radical patriots in this and other cities of the North. The editor who assumes the management of a journal conducted on these principles, was formerly one of the associates or collatorateurs of Kossuth inthe Pesti Hirlap, which he published in Hungary. This gentleman, it ap- pears, was a fellow exile with Kossuth in Katayah, embarked with him on board the Mississippi, and arrived tere in that steamer. The programme thus put forth is approvod of, and sanctioned, and certified to by Kossuth himself, under his own name and signature.

MIGGUEL & CO., Publishers. The undersigned ondertake, from the lst of January, 1852, the editing of the Demotratischer Voelkerbund. e consider it ourduty from the outset to explain to the public, in an open and candid manner, what it has to expect from this paper. As this paper is intended to be pre eminently a political one, it is necessary in the first place todefine our position in the field of ‘politics. We are Buropeans—we came ss fugitives to America, because the whole of the united princes suppressed the exertions for freedom of the isolated struggling people. But do not give up Europeas lost. We are fully convinced that the people of Europe will have a democratic future; we do not believe the “either—or” of the captive of Gersica | onthe Island of St. Helena. Europe cannot become Corrac; it must become republican. Burope will ever be | our tative country. Europe—ite politieal and social condition—will henceforth be the subject of our atten- We live for tion, the aim of our wishes and endeavors, | Europe, we work for her freedom. | But we live pow in America, if only temporarily, as | Weare convinced. We therefore cannot help taking | botice of the condition of our provisioval home. We | are uot only here to look across the sea, but also, since | the unlimited critical nature cf reason demands it, to | look rourd about us, while the free institutions of America ciler so much for imitation, so much to be avcided, for the future formation of Eurcpe Europe | should net copy America, because history does not copy iteelf. | The conditien, therefore, of America will, with equal right, form the second part of this paper; and here let us also define cur porition. ‘The word “democratic.” in the American acceptation, does not define with sufficiept precision our stand in American offairs fcr here it has lost its natural meaning, and. instead. acquired a historical one, which depends upon no principle, but from the laws of convenience. ‘The following are the pending questions of the present policy, in reference to which we will give our course and Platform :— 1. The Slavery question, With regard to it, we consider the Compromise no settled solution, but a provisional law, for the abrogation of which, at least so far as the extradition of slaves is concerned. we will employ all the means which @ pub- lic organ can command 2 Land Reform. We defend the principle of land re- form, and contend sgainst monopoly of the soil. &. The policy of the Union with respect to Central America. With reference te this point, we stand on the ground Monroe took. that every interference of Euro- pean powers in the affairs of the American continent will unhesitatingly be rejected 4. The Tariff question; and 5, that of Internal Im- provements, (canals, rivers and karbora) As we do not raise these (uestions to the stand of our principles, but rather consider them questions of convenience, we give free discussion of the same in our paper. At all the elections we will, therefore, take particular | notice of the three enumerated principles, A. GYURMAN, F. WUTSCHEL, New Yonx, Dec. 22, 1981 wax, late editor of the official paper, Upon your injuiry, in which way you could serve the cease of your fathetiand, and that of liberty, in your present porition as an exile, I reply that you could es- ntially rerve the cause, to which you have devoted yourteli for many yeare with so much talent, perse- Yerance and patriotism, if, particularly now, when the uyigle between freedom and despotism has been re- wed, you would again tread the path of journaliem, cn which you gained for yourself so honorable a posi- tion. Firmly convinced that your industry will oe con gratulated and accompanied by the merited sympathy of all lovers of freedom. L, KOssUrnh It appears, therefore, that Kossuth and some o his Hungarian associates who arrived in this coun- try inthe Mississippi, availing themselves of the liberality of the American Congress in enabling them to reach this place of saylum, have com- menced in this city a movement, in the shape of a newspaper, looking forward to the repeal of the Fugitive Slave law, and to all the consequences which will flow from the promulgation of such principles, and such views in relation to the com- pact of Union, and the future history of this re- public, North and South. The openly avowed pur- pose of Mess syurman and Wutechel, to agita arepeal of thatlaw, which was considered by the North and South as anew compact—an appendix to the constitution itself—is undisguisedly sanc: tiened and concurred in by Kossuth and his patrio- tie asseciates, who availed themselves of the gono- of the American people, in sending a vesee Asia. Kossuth, ned himeelf in a great £ diplomatic intervention h he waa? one of veiatee from Hungary, a news bis old editorial a. \ paper mevement for the express purpose of re-o} in his public speeches measure to the | to pricon, impeached, ing and contiauing the agitation of a question in | this country which may lead ultimately to the de- struction and disruption of this fair fabric, before many years bave elapsed. It certainly is not pov sible that a man of Kossuth’s intelligence and saga- city could be ignorant of the startling delicacy of | such a question as the Fugitive Stave law, and all _ the contingencies hanging on its issue. His recep- tion of the anti-slavery delegation in the Irving House, and also of the colored deputation coming from a committee of men pledged to violate the compact of 1850, would seem to argue thet, in spite of his published speeches, declaring his neutrality | in all our local and internal questions, he yet was busily engaged in concerting means ,or the re-agi- tation ef a subject which could lead to nothing but disaster to this country; and which agitation he has encouraged, and approved, and confided to one of his old editorial associates from Hungary. It is well known that suspicions have been | created in the minds of the friends of this Union, in | the North and South, relative to the consequences, at least, which must flow from the principles fre- | quently avowed by Kossuth in his speeches, in rela- | tion to the foreign policy of the United States — which he wants the government to adopt. These | suspicions are now heightened by the disclosure put | forward and openly made through this German | newspaper. As the means of accomplishing a change in the national councils, suitable to Kossuth’s ulterior purposes respecting European intervention, ke has already commenced a system of newspaper agitation in this city—an agitation which will ro- awaken and re-kindle the fires of abolition, which had been extinguished during the last few months, through the energy and efforts of the best patriots of both sections of the country. These new disclosures of the operations of Kos- suth, and ofjthe experiments he intends to make on our political concerns and our international poli- tics, only justify the opinion which many Americans have frequently entertained of the peculiar character | and impracticability of all European republicans who | have recently come to the United States. Wo have had French, and German, and Italian, and now we have Hungarian republicans; but all seem to be en- tirely unacquainted with tho character of the people of this country,and of the nature of their government, the principles of our constitution, or the condition of the social system which so happily subsists both in the North and South. A short time ago, Cabét, the great French democrat, came over to this country, | and has been endeavoring to establish the French system of socialism and democracy in his Icarian community at Nauvoo, on the Mississippi; and he will be about as successful in engrafting the French system of democracy on the American system, as Joe Smith was, in the same neighborhood, in en- grafting his Mormon system of religion on true | Christianity. More recently, Kinke], the German patriot and democrat, has been wandering over the North and West, collecting vast sums of money, receiving ovations, making speeches,and announcing principles whieh have astonished the public both | North and South. One of these announcements | was, that as soon as democracy should be estab- lished in Germany, the kindness received from the Americandemocracy would be reciprocated by ab- rogating the Fugitive Slave law, and tho social system of the South affecting the African race. Now we have Kossuth, with far more eloquence and discernment, aiding and encouraging the establish- ment of one of his own late associates, who avows for his design the re-opening of the Fugitive Slave law, and the re-awaking of the abolition question, in all its excitement and awful consequences to the integrity of this Union. These developements suf- ficiently prove that European republicanism is an impracticable, absurd, perishable, and poetic thought. ‘With these extraordinary avowals of strange and mieguided purposes, now made by Kossuth and his associates through the columns of their established organ in this city, itis very evident that he can expect nothing from Congress, nothing from the Executive, nothing from any portion of the people ef the United States, who have seen and felt the dangerous condition of the country arising from the recent agitation of the same question, North and South. The great body of European emigrants coming to thisland are generally useful, practical and sensible men. The large proportion of the fo- reign immigration consists of those of Irish birth— the next in magnitude are these from Germany; but both the Irish and Germaos who come to this country, generally, and to the greatest extent, eet- tle down as quiet, peaceable citizens, without as euming the right to dictate the policy of this coun- try, or to change its system of government. Yet, there isa small portion of emigrants—principally from France and Germany—who are theorists, so- cialists, visionaries, poets, orators, and ambitious men, and who, the moment they step ashore on the soil of the republic, begin to give lessons in demo- cracy and republicanism to a people who have put these doctrines into practice, and have enjoyed their fruits for nearly acentury. Kossuth is an orator, a patriot, a poct, a brilliant speaker, a profound theorist; but he is not sufficiently a practical man to understand the peculiar condition of races on this continent, and the happy construction of so- ciety and government, under the constitution given to us by the fathers of the republic. and continued by their descendants to the present day. We have bad quite enough of humbug. It may lead to mischief. Progress oF EvaNGELical, RELIGION IN THE OLp Wor.y.—We perceive that the Rev. Lr. Baird, who has recently returned from Europe, will address the American and Foreign Christian Union, and the public generally, in the Tabernacle this evening. The subject of his discourse will be the progress of Evangelical religion in France, Bel- gium, Holland, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Ire- land, and other countries of Europe. Dr. Baird is a gentleman of comprehensive knowledge, wish deep powers of observation. We have no doubt his lecture will be very interesting. The subject of free thought in religious matters is strongly connected withpoliticsin the Old World. It is a curious but very significant fact, that wher- ever the principles of the Protestant reformation took root, there the people are the most enlight- ened, and thore greater liberty prevails. In fact, Luther's coup d'état in the religious world, was a bold stroke for civil as well as religious liberty. If we contrast Southern Europe, where there is ro religious liberty, with Northern Europe, where there is, we will eee that the people are more capa- ble of thinking and acting for themeelves in the latter than in the former. !t consequently follows that the people of the Northern nations are better qualified fo; self-government than the others. This is an undeniable fact; and there is no way, we think, of explaining it, except by the fget that there is more religious freedom there. Germany, especially, bas made great progress in liberal ideas, and France was making some headway inthe same direction ‘The recent action of Lon's Napoleon will proball, arrest it, however, in the ja country, and th: it back in the scale of likeraliem of every kind would be impossible for Louis Napoleon to estat a military despotism in England or in the Uni States.

Harelton, 8 Lewellen, J Oldham, © Jones, | rue, J MoLavghlin, J Gritben, J Love, A Bl Tue Ripe Crystat Patace.—One of the last diegraceful acts of the defanct Corporation was to make a present of Reservoir Square to a Mr. Riddle, of Boston, for the purpose of erecting a crystal palace, in which to hold a world’s fair, or in- dustrial exhibition of the works of all nations. Madieon Square was first voted away; and the in: habitants of the vicinity raised such a storm that the grant was discovered to be illegal, and the Common Council mended their hand by giving, in- stead, Reservoir Square, hoping, forsooth, that the Bostonian speculator would condescend to ac- cept it. The Mayor, we believe, hae not signed the new | grant, and we trust the new Common Council will scout it. The scheme can be of no manner of benefit to the public; on the contrary, it would be highly injurious to a large class of our citizens, while it would defraud the whole city of the valuo of a public square, to enrich a speculating stran- ger. It is well known that the Crystal Palace in Lon- don seriously interfered with the business of the shopkeepers, and destroyed even the public amuse- ments. This hollow show diverted attention from everything else. The complaints were leud and bitter on the subject. Not only was tho price of admission so much money taken away from the amount that would be expended on various articles of dress, but the palace itself was turned into a mart for tho sale of dry goods, thus diverting trade from its regular channels. The result would be the same in New York. We have splendid dry goods palaces in Broadway and other streets, and the effect of this plundering scheme would be to doprive them of their legiti- mate custem. Will the proprietors of these stores submit to it ? What necessity is there for a gigantic glass house for the exhibition of articles that can be found more conveniently in a range of substantial struc- tures of brick and stone and iron, extending for three miles on either side of the great thorough- fare of the city—from the Battery to Union square? It is the most preposterous of all the absurdities recently brought to light. Glass itself is not so transparent as the humbug ; and how a Corpora- tion representing the tax-payers of the city, could, with their eyes open, deliberately vote away the property of the people for sucha purpose, is utterly inconceivable, unless upon the principle that they have some interest, directly or indirectly, in the ne- farious job.

KOSSUTH PRONOUNCES HIS MISSION A FAILURE—NO ADDRESS TO THE SENATE—INQUIRY RELATIVE TO THE PUBLIC LANDS, ETC. FPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE NEW YORK HERALD, Waenixcton, Jan. 5, 1852. Koseuth did not address the Senate. The Committee informed him that the Senate did not expect that he would deliver an oration, and he accordingly eonsented to remain silent. In his interview with the Secretary of the Interior, on Saturday, he alluded to his intervention project. The Becretary replied that his department was @evoted exclu- sively to home affairs, and that all questions of foreign policy came through the State Department. Kossuth then declared that the opposition which he met at the hands of Congress and the Exeoutive, con- vinced him that his mission to this country had com- pletely failed, He felt deeply disappointed at the recep- tion he had met with in Washington. It was wholly unexpected. He inquired, in case a body of Hungarians desired to settle in the United States, if they could get a tract of land? Mr. Stuart remarked that Congress had the dis- Position of the public lands, but that he had no doubt atract of land would be granted, if desired.
