In deed, sir, so far as claims to our sympathy are concerned, sunly, to a generous mind, then' are particular reasons why its svm- li.ithies should be opened, and flow forth sociates in captivity her»‘, the first thing | that we hear is that a resolution is oflcred ^ by the Si nator from New \ ork to w» Icomi; i Kossuth, and turn your back upon his as- ! siK’iates.
