The President's speech was followed mynaan
address from Count Julius Andrassy,
the r
Vice-President. He said :
Howarable House.—Aocept first of all my deeply felt
thanks for the oosilduce with which you have honoured

which I have neither wished for nor deserved, consider
your choice• command lam bound to obey, whatever
the difficulty I experience in so &dog. We may safely
leave the judgment of the Diet of 1861 to the apprecia-
ts,
tion of posterity, which is not only guided by resul
but also takes into consideration the difficulties of • given

The Diet of 1861 did all that it then could in too. of the
system of forfeiture of right at that time existing, when it
painted to that basis upon which ocuildsami between prince
and people is most securely placed—the basis of continuity

it needed all its strength for defame, for preservation'.
That really royal initiative alone which will be reckoned
among the happiest occurrences in the history of our
isountry has released us from this painful position. While

not despond, for it is impossible that the rights upon which
the maim ban bean formed, which, although is conformity
with orsumitaDoss atm suspended, have yet nevertheless
consistently continued to exist, with which the realm has
already subsisted for centuries, it is impossible that theme
rights shouklbe opposed to the conditions of life of the col-

should take part in thedeoiaion of European questions. Con-

securely as possible, I believe one of our Lake will lie—
thereby in • manner completing the work of the Diet of
1861—in demonstrating that the right of this nation is deo
the interest of the realm. Therefore I think it desirable to
convince the peoples of the ether half of the empire that,
when the common ruler restores the integrity of Hooray
be strengthens the whole realm, for the crown of St.
Stephen unites the interest of many rues through the
rights and liberties of a constitution itlionnand years old,
and places their centre of gravity in the middle of the
, realm. We must ouvince them that, while the common
ruler recognises the principle of continuity of right upon
basis of the Pragmatic Sanction, he acts as much in theiriin-
twat as blurs, for aoontinuity of right cannot be began from
