Russian past Intervention in Hungary be a
violation of these laws, which, if reiterated,
would be.a new violation, and would not be re-
garded indifferently by the people of the United
States-that you, therefore, invite your govern
ment to act accordingly, and so invite Great Bri-
tain to unite with the United States in this pol
icy.
Second, That the people of the United States
are resolved 10 maintain its right OF commercial
intercourse with the nations of Europe, whether
they be in state OF revolution against their gov
eminent or not and that with the view Of APP
preaching scenes on the continent of Europe,
the people invites the government to take appro,
pirate measures for the protection of the trade
of the people of the Mediterranean, and,
Third-That the people of the United States
pronounces its opinions in respect to the ques-
ton OF independence of Hungary, so as had
the honor to state. lhope no dy can reproaeh
me to have done by this any thing Inconsistent
with the high regards which | owe to the United
States, or not appropriate to my capacity. |
would regard it as very judicous and beneficial
thing, If those generous men who sympathze
with the cause OF Hungary, would form commit,
tees through the different par Of the United
States, with the purpose to occasion appropriate
meetings, TO pass such resolutions as | had the
honor humbly to suggest. So much for the gen.
erous people of the United States, in the public
and political capacity. And if that sympathy
WHICH have the honor to meet with in the
United States is really intended to become bene
fetal to the eau sc Of my poor native land, then
there Is one humble wish more which anxiously
entertain. But this is a private business it is
respectful appeal to the generous feelings OF
individuals. 1871.
Gentlemen, would rather starve than RELY
for myself and family,) on foreign aid; but, for
my country's freedom, would not be ashamed
to go begging from door to door, Great
cheering Gentlemen, | mean financial aid ;
money to assist the cause Of Freedom and indie
pendence of Hungary. took the advice of
some kind friends if it be lawful TO express such
humble request, because | feel the honorable
duty, neither to offend, nor to evade your laws
| am told il is lawful. There are two means to
see this, my humble wish, accomplished. The
first is from spontaneous subscription, to PUT the
offering of kind friends at my disposal for the
benefit of my country's cause. The second is q
loan. AS to this loan,, that is a business of q
more private nature, which, to be carried on in
an appropriate way, requires private consultation
in a more close circle.
This is the entertainment to which we are
invited by our guest-these are his wants and
his wishes. 1t will doubtless impress SO saga
cious an observer as himself, that even the most
thoroughgoing of his admirers and eulogists in
the Senate, while the resolutions of reception
were under consideration, discaimed sympathy
with his political vie and purposes in relation
to this very matter. At the dinner party, how
ever, the sentiment seemed to be different, if We
can rely on the report
when order was restored,
Alderman Shaw, himself as much excited as
any OF the audience, said-Gentlemen We have
all heard from the lips of the prosecuted Governor
OF Hungary, his humble requests We have all
heard his three distif CT propositions. rise now

The skill Of the special pleader, rather than the

his own powers after the marvels he has accom-.
plished, he cannot believe that at a word from
him, our whole forei- policy Is to be reversed ;
but he does count largely on popular sympathy

an eXcitlble and enthusiastic, are also renec.
tive people, and are not yet prepared to enter
Europe, in conjunction with Great Britain, even
though KossUTH makes the Gala name now
potent as a sp,ll to awaken admiration and en-
thusiasD. Active intervention in foreign az
fairs on our part would rctard, not advance, the
progress Of liberal opinions in Europe-and thi,
every intelligent man in this country, in public
or in private station, knows full well.
We therefore repeat what we have already
said 10 relation 70 this matter. KossUTn has his
duties, o. what he conceives TO be such, TO per
form. The statesmen and the people Of this
country have theirs and the duties Of the latter
lead them into very different paths from thosr
into which the former would seduce their steps
