conduct) passed Congress, and gone out to
the world as the condemnation by q free peo.
pie Of the most atrocious act Of tyranny re-
corded in the long conflict between power and
the oppressed victims Of power.
1t must be a source Of true qualification
and of honorable pride to Gen. Cass, that
his efforts TO suspend diplomatic intercourse
with Austria, although they were unsuccesa,
ful have been so highly appreciated and op-
proved by The heroic leader of The gallant
people whose exerioDs commanded the
sympathies Of every true lover of freedom
throughout the world--a people who, though
now dowa.trodden, (as the noble Kossuth
says,) wc yet hope will, in the dspensations
Of Providence, assert and maintain their
rights as free and Independent nation a.

GENERAL: 1t is already ten months that |

ges Of fate, und gets accustomed even TO ad
versity. But ore thing the patriots hear
never learns to inure ilsell-to tho pangs Of
exIo.
You remember yon palrician Of Venice,
who, when banisled, ieigned high treason,
that he might at least from the scailud cast
over the Raito glance once more.
This fond desire | can easily understand
| can so the more, because yon Venetian,
though exiled, knew his fatherland TO be
happy and great; but |, sir, carry the dolor
Of millions, the pains Of down1rodden
county in my wounded breast, wilhou, hhv~
ing even ;he sad consolation TO think that it
could not otherwise be. Oh! had Divine
Providence only from treason designed me
to preserve, swear to the Almighty God the
threatening bilows of despotism would have
fallen like foam from the rock Of my brave
peoples breasts. TO have the firm convic-
ton, sir, and, instead Of the wellsdesorved
victory Of freedom, to FIND one self in exile,
the latherland in chains, is profound sorrow,
nameless grief.
Neither have the consolation to have
found mtigalions OF this grief at the hospita,
bic hearth Of a great iree people, the con-
temptation of which, by the imposing view of
freedoms wonderful powers, warns the de-
spondent heart, making it in the destiny
of mankind believe,

Ii was in Broussu, General, that the notice
of your imposing speech has reached me: in
yonder Broussa, were Hannibal bewoiled his
counlry's mischief, and forelold the fall of its
oppressors Hannibal, exled like myself,
but still unhappier, as he was accompanied
in exile by the ingratiludo of his people, but
| by the love of nine.
Yes, General, your powerful speech was
moi only the inspiration Of sympathy for un
merited misfortune, so natural 10 noble, feel
ing hearts: il was the revelation of the justice
of God-it was a leaf from the book Of fate,
unveiled TO the world. On that day, Gener
al, you were sitting, in the name Of mankind,
in tribunal, passing judgment on despotiSm
and the despots of tue world; and as sure as
the God OF Justice lives, your verdict will be
accomplished.
Shall yet have my share in this great
work or nolF do not know. Onco almost

General, will be counted among the most
cherished in my native land, as the distn-

generous sentiments OF the great American
people, has upon us poor lInngaIians the
consolation bestowed Of confident hope, at
