THE UNION.


Il
We had the pleasure, yesterday, OF visit from Gov.
Ujhazy the distinguished patriot and exile, from Hun
gary He is man Of fine personal appearance with an
open and intelligent brow and venerable beard His
marked with modesty and dignity. and he bears
about with him the air Of well educated and well-bred
gentleman He is evidently among the accomplished men
Of his country and he has fallen in the nobest OF all
causes-the defence Of the liberties Of his country He
comes here to seek protection and an asylum for
himself and his exiled countrymen and we rejoice
to know that all hearts welcome him. He came to this
city for the purpose Of pettoning government to In
tercede with the government Of Turkey for the liberation
Of the noble Kossuth and his companions, and we are
gratifed to learn from him that the Executive has
already sent instructions minister at Constantine
pie make all proper efforts accomplish that most de-
sirable object
We understand that many Of the brave defenders Of
Hungary, exed from their own country, will seek q
home in this Let them come, and let them be provided
for with land Give them enough enable them To live
comfortably and to become independent citizens They
will add to our population, and increase national
wealth and power and than that, they will help,
by the influence which they will their country
at home, uproot and overturn the desposms Of
Europe Every one Of them, as are the Germans and
Poles who have emgraed to this country will become
propaganda Of liberal opinions Let us, then. welcome
them all, and give them land to dwell upon We have
enough and to spare. and trust that Congress will

ject again.
Gov. Ujhazy was accompanied by DR.. Kraitzer, also
Hungarian, but now citizen Of the United States and
by Col Tochman, the Polish patriot who has long been
among us and who is also citizen Of the United States
The proceedings Of the Senate yesterday reported
in preceding columns; and among them the reader
will find rather pquant and very interesting debate,
which grew out Of some remarks from Mr. Clemens,
the new senator from Alabama These called up several
senators who disagreed in sentiment with Mr. Clemens.
and who strongly protested against the doubts which he
had upon the democracy OF the North. We refer to
the speeches Of the different gentlemen for the views which
they expressed but cannot reconcile it to ourselves to
lay this debate before the public in silence Our feelings
would forbid using single unkind expression to-
wards the senator from Alabama; but feel bound to
decided dissent from the opinion which he
has uttered We feel sincere gratitude towards the
great body OF the democracy Of the North-the political
antes for many of her distinguished men, and for the
gallant spirits who have stood by the South, and borne
with us the bunt and battles Of the day. and held aot the
broad banner Of democracy. too strong and hopes
for their cooperation too greanot to lead
tain sincere regret that these general remarks should have
escaped from the talented senator We protest at
against the nsdious which the pestfeous abolition
lists will attempt to make Of such declarations Every
southern member, who upon this occasion. dis
claimed the remarks. But must particularly express
and admiration for the mastery in
which Mr. Dickinson, the senator from New York, ad.
dressed the Senate He has right to speak on such
subject and, what is more, he has right 10 claim the
ear Of the southern people We have seen man
bear himself with manly dignity and true eoquence
What he said seemed go the heart Of every demo-
crat and many Of the wings who heard him. He Land
down the true theory Of the spirit in which the constu
ton framed. and in which it must be maintained It
conceived in the spirit OF cancellations il brought
forth in the spirit Of COMPROMISED and in those elements il
must be maintained We say further, that the democrats
should cherish kind feelings possible for each other
and il is far better to preserve the old lines Of parties
than to break up the old organizations and substitute in
their place sectional parties.
