Mr.. Cass then read from the London Times
an Address 10 Lord John Russell and Lord
| hoh vi
the House Of Lords and Commons requesting
The interest of the British Government 10 en-
deavor 10 restrain that of Austria from further
butchery. He passed under review the
rights of Hungary with reference to its con-
sti,ution and its connection with Austria
He examined the chart obtained of the Hun
garian Government, which swept away the
liberties Of Hungary and justified that power
in every subsequent step which she took.
He described the condition Of Hungary as
to her suferings and rights, in The glowing
words of Kossnih himself, and then sketched
the events Of the war, Of the conquest Of the
Austrian armies BY the brave Hungarians,
the call upon Russia for help, and the final
overwhelming Of that unhappy country.
The Russians scented The blood from afar,
and Hungary, like Poland before the Cossack
and the Pandour, and the everlasting re-
proach 10 the contemners Of the laws Of God
and man, accomplished these nefarious
schemes. He had represented this brief re-
view Of the rights and wrongs Of Hungary.
not as the direct motive for adopting his reso-
luton he chose to put that upon another
ground, the ground Of a,rocious cruelty; but
because he desired to take from Austrian ad-
vocates if there were any in this country; he
knew there were none in the Senate. The
last excuse for these violations Of the COM
mon feelings of our nature, by showing that
) the attack upon Hungarian independence was
as reckless and uniuslfiable, as were the cru
: elites inflicted upon the Hungarian people.
After painting the horrors of Austrian ven.
geance on Hungary, and quoting from Kos
suths noble appeal 10 Lord Palmers,on, on
the occasion Of his being solicited to turn re-
negade 10 his religion, he continued,
And, now, sir, ! say it without reserve,
that power thus setting at defiance the opin-
ion of the world, and violating the best feel
ings Of our nature, in the very wantonness of
successful cruelty, has no bond of union with
the American people. The sooner our diplo-
matte intercourse is dissolved with marks Of
$ indignant reprobation the sooner shall we
perform an ACT Of public duty, which, at home
: and abroad, will meet with the feelings OF
4 kindred sympathy from all, whoever they
may be, who are not fit subjects for the ten
Q der mercies of Austrian power.
n Mr.. Cass referred, for precedent, 10 the
action of the French Government, ewhch
g through the Chamber Of Deputies year after
: year, reproved the conduct of Austria, Rms.
y sia and Prussia on the dsemberment of the

II tempt TO disguise the fact that the action Of
j. our government, if il acts at all in this mat
o ter, will extend the principle farther Than il

= men among US who are alarmed at any pro-
y position for public action, unless the very

d II the case is not in the books no remed,
y can be applied, however imperious the cir

e of progress believing that what has beer
IS done has been well done, and ought to ID,
g done again, and that nothing else should b,
j, done. This spirit of standing still little be
comes a country like ours, which is advanc
l. lug in career of Improvements with an nc
n celebrated pace unknown in the history Of ih

IN Mr. Cass then drew parallel between tn
,g spirit of conservatism and the spirit of pro
" gress, and exhibited the latter as a spirit pa
III excellence of Americanism to those, how
s. ever, not here, but elsewhere, who iremble
at AT innovation. The example of the Frenc
re chamber may divest The proposed action q
e. half lis terror the other half may be safel
en- left TO time. They will gradually learn ths
or the great political truth Of our day is contain
es ed in the sentiment recently announced
re the distinguished member from Massach,

ne Mr.. Cass then quoted from Mr.. Canning
We to reassure those who are inclined to thin
'p- that no good can come out of our politics

In is best and wisest. He also referred tho.
