heard seem to be from the trumpet OF the
resurrection of downtrodden humanity
throughout the world. You have called
YOUR country an infant. No, sir, your
country is u giant; she has grown in sew
entv-five years to statuere which other
countries have not reached in a thousand
wears. Your Fulton has blotted out the
word distance which by the Atlantic sep
aratcs Europe from America. L trust
that the generous confidence OF the Uni

| ask the young giant to give brotherly
hand to old Europe, Here kossuth
shook DIR. Doane warmly by the hand.
trust YOU will not be disappointed i'll
me: am plain man. L have nothinS
in me but an honest fidelity to the prin-

present and rendered to NJ. kossuth a
,ruard of honor, composed of officers
Major IIagadorn delivered an address, in
which he took strong ground in favor of
non-intcrvcntion. We have only room
for the following extracts:
For my part-and l ask no one to be
responsible for what l say, although l
honestly believe that l speak the sentl-
mcnts of the great mass of my fellow
countrymcn, and especially the sentiments
of those three and half millions of stall
wart, able bodied yottng men Of 1mericd,
whom our laws have designated for mill
tary, pnrnnscs-l believe | speak the SEN
Z
gent citizen soldiers, who are not merely
household troops, sir, but who have re-
Gently had an opportunity OF demonstra-
TING before the world what use they can
make of arms in the cncmy's country
speak their sentiments, sir, when | say
that the great Kossuth doctrine OF armed
non-intcrvcntion is the doctrine and sentl-
mcntof Amcrca-non-intcrv Tor us
-non-intcrvcntion for all.
God, sir, never acts without a purpose,
and it is now time for the free men OF
Amcrica--to ask of themselves why they
arc here upon this earth? 1t was Cain
the first murderer, who exclaimed" Am
my brothers kceper?" Brother Jona-
than has grown to be giant, Who has
thus miraculously filled him up beyond
the stature of his brCthrcn-and for what
purpose has he been thus raised up to a
giant power among the nations of the
earth? Is it that he should "cat, drink
and be merry" or, shall the talent which
has been given him be demanded of him
again with usurv? Il
Welcome, dear sir, welcome to our
hearts and homcs-wclcomo to our SIM
plo republican Inequalities. But above
all, welcome, thrice welcome to the bles'
sod liberty We here enjoy ~ common
inheritance % children of the universal
Father.
NJ. Kossuth listened to this address
with great attention and apparently with
some surprise. He responded thus:
"'ro you, sir, L have but simply to
return my thanks, and through you to
those who were pleased to send You on
SO pleasant mission. have simply to
return thanks because you have anticipa-
ted all those feelings which it would have
