Mr. Bowen speaks with sort OF Indignation
# tho Hungarian refusal TO accept the Constitution
groplcd on March T. 1912, for the Austrian Empire,
and even seems to think it q crime that they did
MT omen their arm, to receive II We believe he
was once teacher of moral philosophy IA respect
able college bur trust that he did not there mbibe or
teach the political morality he thus propounds
For Inn n IS nothing thu, an independent nation,
governed by lis own Constitution some ten cen
,uries should be required to lay that aside for an
other. ct the mere arbitrary pleasure of the mon
arch. without ever having been consulted as to the
change IN his eyes geographical posiyn, is
more ssclcd than the faith OF treaties or the sane
ton Of oaths Why this doctrine would justify
th,-nlost outrageous ,.laiiics recorded IN history
and authorize tyranny and cup,dl'y to plumber the
yy..k frcverl No matter what the nature OF the
Constitution Of March T., the Hunsarians would
have been contemplate Poltroola had they not re
,s,cd it to the last To have admitted the right OF
the Emperor thus to dispose Of them would have
been 10 proclaim themselves slaves IN his hands
Mr. Bowen has lust as good right TO grant Con
stitntou Tor Hungarians, had Francs Joseph, and
we have no doubt might grant about as good one
and if ne could hire mon enough 10 force It upon
them. mislt do so with as much legality but we
should applaud them il they resisted, and despise
il they did not. and so would any man possessing
the soul Of freeman
Mr.. Browsons perversion OF history IN tins
matter has, as we said, not yet got beyond the lec
tnre state though he has already printed that Kos
suth is a wbimpering sentimentahst According ic
reuort of his recent lecture in this City furnished
for The Tribune by one OF his personal friends, he
holds that the war grew out OF the steady effort o.
the Austrian Government to curb the power OF the
mobiles AID protect the peasantry For the present
this is amusing and needs no coniutation When
is author comes to develop II at length IN his Re
view VIC may perhaps make some remarks IN re
rlv. fit should seem worth while
