We have frequently been asked lately what course we would pursue towards Kossuth's doctrine of intervention. We have answered these queries long since publicly--long before Kossuth visited our shores, or before the press had indicated its course. The Tammany Hall resolutions of September last, furnished us the occasion for comment on the principle and policy of foreign intervention. We availed ourself of it, and entered our protest not against the principle, but the policy of the principle. The Southern press has almost entirely acquiesced in our views, long since expressed. The Past is safe, the Future alone is in danger. Let us look to it, and leave Kossuth and his principle to work their way with the sober second thought of the masses.
