Paul Nynry the Great Hungarian Stafes-


Nothing is so instructive and interesting as biogra-
phes, and particularly Of such distinguished cOntem
porAres SEEN destined by Providence to be the
guides of nation in the dark and stormy days of
revolution. Paul Nyary is such q Among all
the leaders who have acquired laures in the great
Hungarian war of Independence, whether In the bat
ilc-teld or in the national assembly, Paul Nyary Is
one of the most resolute and far-seeng. His face
sometimes earnest and quiet, and sometimes visbly
agtacd by strong passions, gives indications of the
sudden rotation of all his moral and spiritual wheels.
and of the food of thoughts which set them in so
werful motion.
Nyory is one of the most thorough re,olutionists.
Under the flag of patriotism he debated most violent
and intricate questions, never being disguised with
them. If at one moment he seemed oyerpowered, lie
gathered new strength, and in the next defeated his
oppUsers The storm might roar from whatever part.
the ship of Nyary was always sailing with the wind
With vulcan nature, and head full of expedlents
and inexIaustlbe in resources, he does not find in
Hungary his equal in quick comprehension, sound
judgment ard enicrprising spirit.
A splendid bold speaker, he understands entirely
the revolutionary character of The present time, It's
just limits and unites in himself all the qualities re-
quiste win upon the affections of the great masses
of the people, With an eye full of fire, gcsticuations
showing energy and resolution, and general display
Of all human passions and sentiments, he Is able to
make such impression on his audience as occasions
may demand. Sometimes by connexion of thoughts
and significant words, he converts trivial sentiments
into sublime ones He throws himself into discus
sons as the Hussar throws himself into skirmishes,
and woe to those who are attacked by him. He Is an
irreconcilable enemy 10 hypocries and to courtiers
aud this class of people fear him as they would de-
mon. He pursues them at all times, and at every
place, in their private and public affairs.
Nyary is the chief of the most resolue party In the
National Assembly. 1t was he who opposed the frs
Hungarian ministers. (under the presidency of Count
Batheany,) making new treaties with the Austrian
court and entering into futless and dangerous agree
ments with it. 1t was he and his party who made
head, even against Kossu:h in the proposals to give
10 the Austrian Emperor assistance in the war will
Italy 1t he and his party who refused TO initiate
the Austrian rule in the organization of the Hunga
rian army. 1t was he who addressed the deputie
from Pennsylvania, who were inclined TO favor th'
cause Of the king, in the following style: Coward
and traitors you are You Will break your oath
Go back to your home with this conviction and show
yourselves worthy be the slaves Of that grand Lam
who is worshped only by his impoten silly and idio
IseryaDts; but if you do SO, we will wage the wa
with you, and you will be condemned by God an,
your countrymen having reduced them to misery ant
endless grief. You will then awake from your unfor
tunate presumption and errors, but too late"
Without Nyary the Hungarian revolution of Marcl
would have turned out as dlsasrously for the ho
cause of liberty elsewhere in Europe. He alone
defended and kept alive policy OF so great conse
quences that Kossuth found it too daring, becaus
the national existence at stake but at the dis
cussion in the National Assembly, he was triumphan
in his principles. He is statesman who has not TO
a moment relaxed IN his dignity, determination ant
vigilance. His speeches, too, are characterized b.
deceitfulness, phrases, equivocations,
Trades. He seizes entirely the object-he examine
aud Analyses it with spiritual power given only I
such men. Nothing is more striking to the heart o
the spectator than his whole counenance In the mids
of the storm of debate. When he rises to speak, tn
cool friend of liberty must become the most fiery en-
thusast, being thunder-stcken as if Jupiter him
self agitated the surrounding atmosphere. The enc
my of liberty becomes OF parayzed and appalled,
as if before the head of Medusa.
