pulsive natures, quick to be moved by his sympathy
with his fellow men and gifted with a power to convey
by burning words his, own powerful aspirations into
the minis of others, and make them for the time
capable of like efforbi with himself. He has nothing
bf the Richeliens or 'Van Wilts about him—men who
have a greatness of their own ; be has nothing of the
Wellington or Napoleon—men who also have their
peculiar greatness; he is more akin to the Athenian
Demosthenes, or our' own first Chatham. He is a
great elementary power—genial as he is strong. He
may make miscalculations from which the cold, cau-
tious intellect of the sts'tesman would save him ; but
he can impart to a people contagious emotions that
will nerve them to deeds of which no mere statesman
could ever render them capable. Such natures only
are capable of combining all ages and either sex for
a great national struggle, inspiring them with the
resolution to stand or fall with their country.
This is the conception of Kossuth which his deeds
had impressed upon Englishmen before they saw
him. They have now seen and heard him, aod
recognise in him a spirit akin to the great patriots of
their own story ; plain and unostentatious in appear-
ance and deportment ; only putting forth his strength
when occasion-calls for it, and then with a seeming
unconsciousness of effort that reveals how great it is.
Kossuth surprised his audience by the mastery he
evinced over their native tongue, but more by the
identity of his sentiments with those they are accus-
tomed to cherish. The secret of this is that Kossuth
is a true man, and that consequently every true man,
be his race or nation what it may, finds the best
aspirations of his own nature reflected in Kossuth.
Kossuth is not a radical, or a doctrinaire, but a free
man, sympathising with every manifestation of popular
independence, loving best that which, by the length
of its existence, bas approved its healthy and vigorous
character. He entered at once instinctively into the
feelings of Englishmen, and talked to them of
municipal government, the baneful effects of centrali-
zation, the true grandeur of a monarchy which,
based upon the household virtues of a self-aiding
people, partakes in a large measure of their hearty
homeliness, just as they would themselves have
tilted had they been endowed with his oratorical
gifts. Kossuth and the English found themselves at
once on the easy footing of old and familiar friends.
In,, many respects the demonstration at Kossuth's
landing resembled others that we have witnessed—
the welcomes given in our great manufacturing towns
to O'Connell and other orators and political leaders
in the full flush of their popularity. His being a
foreigner 'made no difference : now as when Cromwell
interfered' in behalf of the Piedmontese, Englishmen
feel that the' cause of liberty in every land is their own
cause. What was peculiar in the triumphal entry of
Kossuth into England was, its being a tribute to de•
feated greatness. It was no bending of the knee
before success and prosperity. It was a decla-
ration that the , people of England look to the
motives of a man, to the cause he em-
braces, and to the powers he develops in assert-
ing it, not to his good or bad fortune. It was the
unequivooal worship of virtue for its own sake. It
was no weak or womanish condolement, but a manly
expression of sympathy with one who it was felt had,
even in 'defeat and exile, resources in his own strong
mind, and in the recollection of great deeds worthily
achieved, to bear him up above despondency. It was
alike honourable to the givers and the receiver. It
was an unconscious expression of faith in the eternity
of human virtue and freedom, of an ineradicable belief
that any reverses suffered by either can only be tern
porary.
