Helm for Hungary.

Help for Hungary.
Tho writer hereof was not able 70 be IN New
York a, tho date Of the great meeting in iavorobe
roic Hungary a week since, or he would have pre-
fe-red to submit then ard there, his ideas of Anne
rican duty and policy with regard to the Hungari-
ans Az no similar opportunity will probably be
soon presented, he will briefly submit them here.
Some rather young gentlemen Of our city would
seem TO consider the Hungarian performers In
some magnificent melo-drama or equestrian pa
geant-a sort Of Timour the Tartar or Cataract OF
the Ganges. They talk of drafting addresses and
sending Gags to the Patriot alton, if they were
in pressing need of an importation Of painted ta
pestry and wind-such articles being manifes,ly
more abundant here than on the banks of the
Thesis. We cannot agree with them The idea
of sending an address and flag lat a cost OF not
less than el 0OO TO people at once bleeding, half
naked and famishing, seems 10 us the most prepos-
ferrous that ever a whimsical brain engendered.
Meetings, addresses, banners, speeches. are all
well or i'll in eyes precisely es hey promote or
hinder the transmission OF real AID to the Hunga
rians. We understsnd our friends Of Hungary to
mean that, or to be acting very foolish farce.
We have supposed that, the moment it became
certain that the Msgyars were resolved to fight to
the last, undismsyed by the enormous odds now
combined against them, our people were to render
them some positive and beneficial assistance. Is
not that the general understanding
But what can do for Hungary She clearly
does not want men-that is she can procure
nearer home all she can maintain in ,he field far
cheaper than they could be sent from this country,
to say nothing Of the difficulty, delay and risk Of
transmitting them. SO of Provisions, Arms ard
Munitions All these are needed by Hungary,
simply because her Government has. no money.
What she mainly, pre'singly, sgonizingly wants
is the sinews Of war IL is our deliberate belief
that II she could have opened this campaign
with Ten Millions OF hard dollars in her treasury
in addition to her present scsnty and precarious
sources she would have closed 1t next month with
her soil unprofaned by hostile foot and her
armies at the gates Of Vienna
Can any one ask how are 10 help Hungary
Think of Kossu,h's thri hug answer TO Bems ur
gent demand for some funds wherewth to prose-
cute the war in Trsnsy ylvanis Il can give you my
life, but no money. Is not that enough to make
any man ashamed that a dollar remains in his
pocket
What we would urge Is the subscription through.
out this land OF PATRIOTIC LoAs FOR HUNGARY.
Let every man who can subscribe his pile or his
mite let the soundest and best known bankers OF
this and other commercial cities be induced 10
transact the business without charge, in such a
manner that shsrpers and adventurers can get no
hold Of il let the stock be issued In slao scrip,
drawing i've per cent. interest redeemsble by
Hungary within ten years alter the establishment
of her Independence. Let each village, each
rural town, each club, make up by collections OF
otherwise, enough to take one share OF scnp, and
SO up to as many ss possible let our men Of
wealth and income be personally solicited to In
vest generously and let US resolve at least TO raise
One Million Dollars otf-hand Another MIlior
will come much easier after the first. Who car
over estimate the worth OF even One Million !
Kossuth only had il now And there Is not the
least trouble in sending him aid in tAss form II
may be deposited in the Bank of England or some
other good London bank in twelve days, payable
to the order of Louis kossa,h, President OF Hun
gary, OF bis successor in case OF his death, snc
notice Of the deposit will reach the hero President
in twenty days thereafter, in spite Of all the
batchering Haynsus aud scoundrel Louis Ma
poleons in the universe From the moment he has
the notice OF deposit and liberty TO draw, the
msney 10 as good as in hand He can use II
through the Jews about him. who will gladly ex
change their boarded gold for a like amount be-
yond the reach OF the merclless plunderers now
overspresding Hungary Asingle Million, prompt
ly transmitted, might save Hungarian Liberty II
its last extremity. Only imagine the change thai
would be effected il Patriot leaders were enabled
to distribute to eveps man in their several armies
Eve dollars in coin.
Friends Of Hungary IA America do YOU ~ssh
anything nyou do, let Us know what 1t Is We
feel like sending our Inite to help the Magyar he
roes in their most unequal and perilous strife

pcr6dy and cruelty We ever heard Of. Ifthey are
destined to fail, We would like to send our rria'

Let there be no lack Of Hungarian cartridges il
