But what or reviewer most helabors Is the
charge tia, tie Hun ara1s were fighting iOr Their
teudal privileges against the Liberalism or Rcpub
Gcanism Of the Austrian Constitution! Consider
in, how hard he works to achieve this end. ono
cannot help sympathizing with him at the contrary
evidence which siares at the reader throughout his
article Thus on page % he says, in speaking Of
The removal of fcudal burdens from the peasantr,
which had for some limc been aeitatcd in the Diet:

would caro- a5ou, the phnder Of the Church
As for this il may be remarked that no robbery
of the Church was contemplated by the bill passed
by Kossuth and bis party. This is proved by the
fac, that Kossuth and the revolution were through
out jealousy supported by the Clergy, some o.
whom have since paid for their patriotism with
their lives.
In another place the reviewer says that Count
Sz6cheny. the Hungarian Conservative reformer
saw. in ls4s his popularity overcast, his place
usurped by demagogues and radicals Of the lowest
stamp
These dcmagogues and radicals o: the lowest
stamp were. nevertheless, according to Bowen,
toiling with all their might to maintain their an
tiQuated ieudsl Institutions, and their unjust and
excessive privileges as all order and race
against the incursion of the liberal ideas and the
reformatory spirit of the nineteenth century
truly. new function for demagogues and radicals
Our readers will pardon few brief extracts
on this head they are remarkable and arc all from
the pen OF the reviewer:
