Senator had gwen the sui l-c, any reflection.

thought the Senate was nnw as ready 10 vote
upon thus measure as 1t would be after the
report, able as 1t might be of the committee.
! Therefore II was, that this measure should
be considered as positive suspension Of iu-
tercnurse with Austria. He had been sur.
prisod OF tie vide d ference between the
premises LAID down by The Senator frnm
Michigan, and the concuslon 10 which lie
arrived. The Senator had depicted the
wanton atrocities of Austria the inhuman
buoherles praclised by her soldiery-h had
portrayed the sunerings of the HungaIians,
aud their noble Struggle for liberty. And
who doubted all thisl These were The pre-.
misses Of the Senator aud what is the con.
clusion! To recall small Charge des Hi.
, fares from the court Of Austria Could the
, Senator find no olher movement worthy If
hIm Could he not have introduced some
other meabs in atcold dance with tie ,iue poll

Europe and some on our own shores. Lot
the Senator bring forward something 10 aid,
support, and succor them; something worthy
Of the land which is the home Of the opprgs.
sed something worthy of the American
, sympathy, and ~ accordance with the usaacs
of The past; and then he may call, and
not cal. IN ,ain on him for succor and sup.
port. Instead Of recalling mere ChaIge,
, he had expected from the Senator something
, 'ar different. He expected that he would
/ have proposed to send that country some
wise, able, aud energetic man, to plead aud
advocate the cause Of Hungary, and to re-.
monslFn,e in behalf ot the unfortunate patti.
