Staunton Spectator

A writer in the National Intelligencer, thinks Kossuth is mad. He wants to know what he is going to do with the two thousand saddles he has ordered—of what value they are without horses? And of horses and saddles, without riders? He contends that it is absurd to think of obtaining the horses in this country, to be conveyed to Hungary; and he asks if it is not as likely that the two thousand horses that may be obtained in Hungary will be obtained with saddles on them, as that they will be obtained at all? This purchase, he thinks, savors of insanity, and another act of the Governor's, he thinks equally mad, is the purchase of the 40,000 muskets at $2 a piece. He thinks if Kossuth could get the Austrians to shoot these pieces he would kill more of them than if they were put in the hands of the Hungarians.
