Kentucky (Mr. UNpEkwoop,) yesterday, in rela-
ton to Tammany Hall politicians.
Mr.. UNDER WOOD, in reply, hoped that the
hon. senator did not understand him as rejecting
upon Tammany Hall He had only suggested
that a certain movement made there might tend
to change the settled policy Of the country in re-
gard to non-interyention. He intended no indlg-
nifty. ...
Mr.. CLEMENS believed that this subject was
| about the best one to make a speech on which
had come before the Senate for a long time. And
it possessed this additional popularity, that the
less we know about it, the more we have to say.
He was opposed to the resolution. When did
kossuth first become republican Not until he
had met with misfortune and adversely. 10
prove this he would read petition which Kos
suih made on the 4th Of July, 1913, to the Aus
trian governments when he sought its aid to put
down u rebellion. Since he has been eXiled, he
has become republican, but he refused to assist
the Sclavonians in their struggle against Austria.
His whole struggle against Austria was to pre-
serve the Magyar element alone. He (Mr. c.
would concede to kossuth all he merlted, but by
no vote would he acknowledge his equality with
either Washington, Jackson, or a Jefferson.
He (Mr. c. denied that Congress had ever in
vited him here as guest, and read the resolution
Of last session to prove it. That resolution APP
plies as much to kossuth's associates as to him
self: if we have invited the one, we have invited
both, The resolution simply furnished national
vessel, then in the Mediterranean, for their use,
as it declares, eff they wish to emigrate to the
United States" What does that mean Can
you construe it into meaning guest Mr.. G.
spoke of political capital being made out of this
matter; vet he would not be understood to reflect
at all upon his friend from Mississippi, (Mr.
FooTE,l who he beievsd had introduced his reso-
luton from higher motives. When Texas came
into the Union, and her defender came to this
country, bringing an empire TO its feet, no such
action was taken respecting him as is now pro-
posed This homage was not offered him. Let
us look more at home. Let us look after our own
countrymen--to our fifty murdered sons in Cuba,
before we 90 abroad to waste our sympathy. MIR.
C.. reviewed the avowed purpose of kossuth's
VISIT and said that he sought reception for po-
tical purposes. He also read from his So eeches
in Eng land to prove that he was not republican
in sentiment. This matter should be left to the
people Whatever they may do, they have "a
right to do. 1t was bad policy, however, for
Congress to encourage political agItator. IL
would also be an insult to Russia. He had I'M
derstood that kossuth took in high dudgeon the
withdrawal Of Mr.. FooTE's resolution last week,
and had announced to a Philadelphia committee
that he would not come here. Well, for one, he
(Mr. c. should not feel very bad If he did'n
Mr.. SHIELDS spoke at length in reply. He
regretted that any resolution had been brought in
here, so long as it had elected the iberal remarks
which had been made-remarks calculated to
damage so materially the great cause for which
Kossuth comes among us. He considered all the
stories viii CHI had been told about him as libels-i
petty slanders-orgnated elsewhere to impair his
object which was to render the Hungarian con-
stliution equal to any An ostentatious parade
had been made here on the subject Of non-inter
venion. In his view it had been carried little
too far. Ii was well to act on that prncipie-but
why parade it before the eyes of foreign nations
and monarchs continually tie fixed and unal-
terabe sentiments ofthis country In his opin
ion, man of the present age would compare
with kossuth.
Mr.. FOOTE, at three o'clock, took the floor,
and spoke for half an hour, in reply to the oppo-
nents of Kossuth' s reception. He denounced, in
strong language, the authors of the columnits
respecting him, which had been published in the
newspapers, which, he said, emaiiated from the
.Ep York Courier and Enquirer, paper edited
by one James Watson Webb, former minister to
Austrs, no had ost righteously been rel ected
by this enate, &c. Without concluding, Mr.. F.
gave way 10 motion for an adjournment, aud
At half past 3 o'clock, the Senate adjourned.
