under Wing administration, and in the m'ost
of vast numbers of people 10 strict alliance win
and subordination to British philanthropy, That
the voice of the United States has been the mere
echo of that of England, in relation to both
these cases. We have atjecty followed the lead
of the British scribes, in lauding hossuih ana
his countrymen to the skies, and we st'gmatized
Lopez and his companions, by every epithet OF
obloouy. Were they not equally engaged IN
ona and tbe same cause that of liberty and in
dependence Why then is It that they have
been treated so differently by the people OF The
limited States Because one was held up by
/ EuoLnd AS on object of admiration, the-other
of detestaiion and scorn. But for this British
influence, the government aud people of the
United States, would have maintained the same
position towards Lopez and his companions, as
they did towards Miranda ard his associates,
vnen engaged in an effort to give liberty to the
Spanish colonies on the continent. There was
hen no ruling faction Of Abolitionists IN the
country, and British philanthropy was not lcrd
paramount here. The people were permitted TO
sympathise at least, with the struggle for freedom
in that quarter, and to ejoce not at the imInola.
ton of its victims but the triumph of its champl'
ons. They neither joined in the deunnciatlons or
the shouts of it's enemies. Let il not be supposed
that in exhibiting this contrast between the treat
ment of KossUTH and LorEZ indulge the
slightest disposition to detract from the merits
Of the illustrious Hungarian, or to check the
enthusiasm of my countrynen in his behalf.
Though not republican--at least in England
he is great patricia victim to his efforts to
vindicate and sustain the rights Of his country.
As such he has been welcomed 10 our land OF
freedom, and he well deserved such welcome,
At the same time, cannot but express my firm
belief, that had it suited the interests of Eng
land to stigmatze him rs rebel, pirate, a
cut.throat or a buccaneer, us it did apply these
epthets to LoPEZ, there is at least one great
party in the United States that would not have
Joined 10 these demonstrations. Fortunately,
however, the independence of Hungary has no
counexion with the subject of African slavery,
and they chm do honor TO 4 great patriot without
any offence to British philanthropy
Now, Influence SO powerful as this exercised
by rival and an enemy, who views with jealous
apprehension the growing health and vigor of
the United States, cannot but be highly danger.
Gus. Insinuating itself into the very hearts Of
the people, under the mask of philanthropy, it
has gone very far in undermining that feeling'of
patriotism which is not only the strongest &C.
ment of the Union, but the great element of our
superiority over every other nation. Should
any principle Of action at war with this, ever
attain the ascendency in the United States, there
will be an end to all exclusive attachment to our
country and the happiness Of our countrymen
will be sacrificed to abortive attempts to increase
that Of The rest of mankind.

consideration OF the Presidents message was first

Mr.. RICHARDSON, of Illinois and the sense of the
House having been taken, the chair was sustained

that it be referred TO the Committee on Com

subjects to the COMMITTEE on Roads and Canals !;
but the rule 10 that effect, was of twenty years
standing and he considered the Committee on
Commerce as the most proper body to which it
should be referred He did not mean to cast any
reflection upon the Committee on Roads and Ca
nails, but the other was certainly best adapted to
take cognizance of a subject, having reference to
internal and foreign commerce.
A motion was made and prevailed that the mes
sage be laid aside, and the joint resolution of Mr..
BIssELL was taken up, that nothing in the act
granting lands to officers and soldiers should be so
construed as to prevent the sale or transfer Of
such lands previous 10 the issue of the patent |,

such transfer. He proposed amendment to
