Kossuth.-The shores of the Mediterranean will re-echo the shouts of Freedom, when it is announced that Kossuth, the Hungarian hero, will in all probability be carried from his asylum in Turkey to the United States, there to take rank among a people who have enrolled his name among their fondest recollections, and who hold up to their children the example furnished in his model character and sublime patriotism. It is not yet certain whether the Sultan will agree to the offer of the United States. A former offer made when Gen. Taylor was President, was declined, owing, so Mr. Brown, our late Consul to Constantinople, believes, to the opposition of the Austrian minister, resident in that city. It is to be hoped, however, that the Sultan will have no objection to the present proposal; especially now that the time for the confinement of Kossuth and his companions, as limited by himself, will expire in May. If he should do so, the world will be impressed by the simple grandeur of these patriotic hospitalities. Favoring gales and resistless steam will carry on the brave vessel that bears this precious freight; and when the heroic Magyar warrior reaches our shores, THE PEOPLE will receive him with open arms as their guest and their brother. In this brave land he will soon find a field for his ambition, and a theatre for that genius which shook the Senate of Vienna with the thunders of its courage and its eloquence.--Pennsylvanian.

Event Details

Kossuth, the Hungarian hero, is expected to be transported from his asylum in Turkey to the United States. The Sultan's agreement to the U.S. offer is uncertain, following a prior refusal under President Taylor due to Austrian minister's opposition in Constantinople. Kossuth's self-imposed confinement expires in May, after which he may be welcomed in America as a guest and find opportunities for his ambitions.
