before the Humboldt had reached the

New York, under date of the 9TH:
Kossuth has been occupied during

speeches and receiving the visits of the

"To you, sir, have but simply to
return my thanks, and, through you, TO
those who were pleased 10 send you on
so pleasant mission. | have simply
to return thanks, because you have an
ticipated all those feelings which it
would have been my task to endeavor
TO have the people Of the United States
entertain.
"lf the sentiments you express are
those of your people, | have nothing
to ask. Then / will have almost to
thank you for the realization of those
sentiments. The reception have al
ready experienced relieves me of much
anxiety. If the doctrine of non-inter-
vention is understood as you state it,
then the generous and efficient aid of
the United States for my country's
suffering independence is secured.
"We will have fair play in the strug-

that is all the people of Hungary want

is much likeness in our past struggle
and your glorious effort for indepen-
dence, but there is also a great differ
ence. That difference is, that, in the
stirring period Of your revolution, you
met friends, but Hungary did not; you
met with fleets, auxiliary troops, arms,
money. and peace negotiations in your
aid. We seem forsaken and alone
We were abandoned by the whole
world. But what to our past was
wanting we may yet see bestowed up
on our future. There will soon be oc-
casion and opportunity for it, because
ieel confident that one lost battle, or
one lost campaign, does not overthrow
a people, but often stimulates them to
greater action, and | am strong in the
hope that Hungary will yet be free. L
will cling to my motto, (Which recei-

THERE'S no difficulty to him who Wills

honor, will not request it, nor will |
decline it. feel honored by every
mark of attention, by every token of
kindness from the American people.
''ln conclusion, then, permit me to
say, accept my best wishes for your
country's glory and your personal hap
piness.'''
kossuth was again addressed this
morning by DR.. Buninghousen, in be-
half of the adopted citizens of the Uni
ted States, to which he appropriately
replied 10 German.
The reception of Kossuth in this city
will take place tomorrow, when he
will deliver his great speech.
ANOTHER SPEECH FROM kossUTH-I
The following is synopsis of the
speech delivered by Kossuth this after
noon, ON Staten Island, in reply to an
address delivered by II. A. Locke, Esq.
He occupied about an hour in its deliv-
cry. A very large concourse of per-
sons was in attendance, and great en-
thusiasm manifested on the occasion.
He was heard throughout with marked
attention, and welcomed with shouts of
applause.
Kossuth commenced by referring to
the difficulty he encountered in speak
ing the English language, or in any
language MT his own. He hoped,
therefore, that few warmly told words
would be more acceptable than an elab-
crate speech. He returned his sincere
thanks for the generous welcome given
him. The hopes of liberty for the op-
pressed of Hungary always actuated
him, and he trusted that liberty from
glorious America would go forth and
achieve, in time, the liberty of the
world.
That spirit is an inspiring power to
deeds; but it constitutes in itself no
deed-for those who would be free, be- |
sides being inspired, must also strike
the blow. He believed the people of
the United States would readily impart
their sympathy to Europe, now in her
crisis. The independence of Hungary
would not only benefit her, but would
be indispensable to the independence of
the whole European continent. His |
desire was to see respected the solemn
right OF any nation to dispose of her
own destiny as she might see fit.
He was not here to mix with the in
ternal affairs of America. These con-
cern her alone. He came here to in
tercede, in the name of Hungary, for
the glorious and ever-to-be desired pro-
lection of the people of the United |
States.
He regretted being charged with a
disposition to meddle with their domes-
tic affairs, and to interfere with the
presidential question, because it so hap
pened that in one of his addresses in
England he mentioned the name of the
Hon. Robert j. Walker as a candidate
for the presidency.
I now, he continued, feel quite at
home, and will speak plainly. | con-
