sons. could mol have given uterance to them myser
and even II ] bad been able TO express them with III

10 the right the left Of the line which these SEMI
men most clearly indicate. And sir if he will stand
by those sentiments irrespective of all exraneous consld
eraliohs II he will TO day throw himself into The scale

And again. after collaing and applauding sew.
eral other declarations of Gen. Cass and amonp
others his concession OF the right of other nations
to pass upon our conduct when we shall have
committed 1.-THE of the atrocities, which he al
leges against Austria Mr. Hale exclaims
81 rel ice to have lived to see This dny reioice 70
have heard The sentiments which the honorable Senator
from Michigan has proclaimed proclaimed without lin
ration. have been 50 much in The habit of hoano of
the compromises of the constitution and poIitica phs
'h1' deeate II was like waller from living spring to

Will 90 for ulerng the luds tones Of disapprobalion
against oppression in every form and every shape and in
aVor ct sympathy for the oppressed, be they low
or ever so humhe.n
These extracts will show that there are parts of
Gen. Cass's speech which, in the event of his
movement proving successful, might be used in
an Austrian counter-manesto with some effect
They will show too the danger of intermeddling
with the affairs of other nations and setting up
ourselves as holier than other people.
