Spirit of the age. [volume] (Woodstock, Vt.) 1845-1913, 1851-12-11

We understand that Kossuth did not indicate
to them any certain intention of visiting our
sister city.
AT O'Clock, the Mayor took his leave OF
kossuth. AT the appointed hour the torchllght
procession made its appearance, the Turner's
proceeding the musicians bearing the torches,
which brilliantly illuminated Broadway for
considerable distance. A committee from the
oerenaders waited on Kossuth, announcing the
object of their visit They had come as Ger
mans, they stated to tender their congratulations
and to testify their respect and admiration of
their fellow cnuntrymen in serenade. They also
requested him to appear at the balcony and say
few words to the company in the street, In
the meantime the shouts for Kossuth were re-
newed, each moment increasing in strength.
Alderman Morgan Morgans, President of
the Board of Aldermen, and occupying, with
other digntaries, the rooms adjoining the bal
"Have patience" said he, "my friends and
fellow citizens, and give the iustrious exile an
hour or two for repose, as he is greatly ia
tigued, and is now lying upon his bed quite en-
hausted. | am assured he will respond to your
call before he finally retires to rest for the
night; cries of Let him come now" were
here shouted by the multitude, and followed
with three cheers for the speaker and there
fore beseech of you to remain quiet for short
time, when your desire will be gratifed." The
Alderman then left the balcony, and for few
minutes all was comparatively quiet. Soon the
cries were redoubled. Con- Berzeenzky en-
deavorcd again to quiet them, entreating them,
without effect, to permit the Governor to secure
some repose.
kossuth having at length dismissed the Com
mIttce appeared again on the balcony, and adj
dressed the crowd as follows, as we'll as we
could hear:
GENTLEMEN-I beg leave to express to you
my thanks for the high qualification you afford
to me by your appearance here tonight | have
been taken aback by the mighty demonstrations
of today. They cannot fail to prove beneficial
to the cause of freedom, not only throughout
the United States, but throughout Europe.
thank you not as Germans. receive you not
as such; but as freemen-as citizens of this
great republic, which gathers the oppressed of
all nations, binding them together in the unity
of freedom against the desposism of the world
! (Cheers.) 1t is by that unity republicans must
triumph. 1t is by that tyranny will yet be
crushed forever. Tremendous cheering Ex-
cuse me for not saying more this evening. En-
hausted and tatigued as | am, cannot speak
scarcely am able to keep up-and there
are other matters that must attend to- The
thunder ofliberty is now being heard through
out the world, and ere that thunder ceases the
arm of despotsm must be broken. Great cheer
ing
Kossuth then retired, and the screnadcrs
soon moved off, the noise of the crowd having
quite prevented any thing like successful pros
ecuton of the object for which they had assem-
bled.
INCIDENTS on SATURDAY.
AS the carriage containing Kossuth passed
Ball & CO. s store on Broadway, young lady

splendid fruit remarking-
Noble Kossuth! Accept these fruits OF Ameri-
