RECEPTION OF THE HUNeARIANs-Afe cttng
Spsseh-The Hungarian refugees have been well
coined to New York by number of their own
countrymen; and in reply to the address Of well
come, Gov. Uihazy said:
+" It is indeed heart-rending, to think of the fate
Of our country to think of her ancient constitution
subverted, her villages sacked her fields desoated
so many Of her noblest defenders lying in graves
marked only by the gallOws on which each per-
shed or the rude pile Of earth heaped by the hos
tile soldiers whose bullets hurried to their death.
Il is even heart-rendng to think Of the great
and good kossuth, and his gallant companions,
anguishing in a Turkish fortress, cut off not alone
from the world but from the country and the nation
to whose freedom and development he had given all
his glorious energies and from all action for those
immortal principles Of liberty and humanity of
which he is the inspired prophet and apostle
Here every eye was moistened, and tears trieked
down many cheeks To the dead there are the
consultations that could not but follow lives Of honor
aud devotion 20 the best good Of their fellows to
the exiles there the exeitements Of new lands,
Of new circumstances and OF a new life to be be-
gun; but 10 those mmured in the walls Of Shumla
there is only the memory Of misfortune and the
chafng Of the soul within cage from which there
seems TO be no outlet. But let not despair even
for them. Let hope that the free nations Of the
world will intercede in their behalf with such
power that their dungeon doors shall fly open, and
they go forth once more freely among the gushing
| sympathles OF men.
But still less ought we to despair for the cause
Of Liberty, Of National Independence, Of Hungary.
The day Of regeneration cannot be distant, and the
! fury Of our conquerors only hastens its dawn.
! Hope, which always remains with Truth and JUS
tioe, remains above all with her. Beside the whole
fabric Of despotsm in Europe now stands on
| foundations OF sand, worn everaore away BY the
rushing flood Of democratic ideas. And when il
falls, ii will crush only kings and oppressors, and
from its crumblng remains the liberated nations
will rise young and vigorous for a new and happy
career and Hungary will rise with them"
