Ruge declares that Kinkel is an “agent of the Prince of Prussia”. 
Another agitator discovers that the outstanding men of the 
Emigré Club consist of 

“Pastor Kinkel together with three Prussian lieutenants, two insipid Berlin 
literati and one student”. 

Sigel writes: 

“It cannot be denied that Willich has gained some support. But when a man has 
been a preacher for three years and only tells people what they wish to hear, he 
would have to be very stupid not to be able to win some of them over. The 
Kinkelites are attempting to take these supporters over. The Willich supporters are 
whoring with the Kinkel supporters.” 

A fourth agitator declares that Kinkel’s supporters are 
“idolators”’. , 
Tausenau gives this description of the Emigré Club: 

“Divergent interests beneath the mask of conciliatoriness, the systematic 
deception to obtain majorities, the emergence of unknown quantities as organising 
party leaders, attempts to impose a secret finance committee and all the other 
manoeuvres and subterfuges with which immature politicians have always tried to 
control the fates of their country in exile, while the first glow of the revolution 
disperses all such vanities like a morning mist.” 

Lastly, Rodomonte-Heinzen announces that the only reputable 
refugees in England personally known to him were Ruge, Goegg, 
Fickler and Sigel. The members of the Emigré Club were “egoists, 
royalists and communists”. Kinkel was “an incurably vain fool and 
a theorising aristocrat”, Meyen, Oppenheim, Willich, etc., were 
people “who do not even come up to his, Heinzen’s, knee and as 
for Ruge, they do not even reach to his ankle” (New York 
Schnellpost, New-Yorker Deutsche Zeitung, Wecker, etc., 1851).
