though he doubtless resisted all projects
for dismembering Hungary in order to
found great Slavonic Empire on its ruins.
But We weary of contradicting these
groundless calumnies. In an Address from
KOssuth recently received, but which we
are not yet at liberty to publish, he says:
"I asked Of the Austrian Court lin the SOrias
Of az simply these things
l. That the Constitution OF my Fatherlsnd and
the rights Of q thousand years duration. should
be guaranteed through National and responsible
Ministry
.. That erery citizen Of my Fatherland .ho,lI
stand free and equal before The Tao, without din
tinction on account Of Language or Faith
8 That the blessings of Constitutional Free
dom should be extended also TO the Peopeof the
other states and Kingdoms presided over by the
Austrian Emperor" This last demand we have
not rendered literally but condensed this 10 It's
substance
~, Is, IA. Jellachich, after assuming
the Banship of Croatia, though secretly
supplied with money and munitions by the
Austrian Court, never went near it until
after the Hungarians had thoroughly rout-
ed him near Lake Balaton, and chased him
out of their Country. Tho sham "out-
lawry" was not removed till then. Tho
Hungarian Ministry did send a deputeion 10

surgents, who professed to act in his interest and

Hungary by surprise when she was dissrmed by
the absence of her soldiers in Italy, and who
were committing the most horrible devaststions
and cruelties. But all this about Magyar mas.

IS 10. We have already stated the facts with
regard to Lemberg and Lstour. The latter was
sent into Hungary with an illegal order from the
Emperor to take command Of the forces then be-
ing mustered by the Ministry to oppose the invs
sion Of Jeachich, who had penetrated nearly
through Hungary unresisted There is not
doubt that Lemberg was sent there to take com.
mand of the Hungarian eyies, and so manage
them as to ensure the triumph of Jellachich.
The papers found upon him at his death fully
proved that this was the fact, and that Latour and
Jellachich were each acting under directions from
the Austrian Court in order to crush the Liberties
and Nationality of Hungary.-All this, bear in
mind, while JelIachich was under Austrian out
lawry as a traitor to the Emperor, and when Lem
berg had come to Hungary professedly to lead
her armies against Jeachich and secure his dis
comHture We venture to say that General
who should exhibit himself in any American City
under circumstances akin to those OF Lemberg,
would be very fortunate if he escaped a similar
fate Yet that fate was not planned nor ordered by
Kossuth, nor is he in any manner responsible
therefor. AS to that of Latour, there is no
shadow OF evidence duplicating Kossuth aud the
Hungarians therein, and no probability in the
charge. 1t is one of the most wanton calumnos
ever dictated by unprincipled Hatred
Il, Is, 10, 90 The death Of Latour was an Incl
dent the Vienna Instruction not an Indictment
to it. 1t would be bright idea for the Emperor
TO proclaim Martial Law in Hungary, partly be-
cause an officer had been killed in an instruction

tria was commenced months before the time as.
signed by the Courier, when the Emperor and
Court resolved on recovering from the panic of
the frat Vienna Instruction and the ght Of Met
ternich, TO recall and dnnuL the Hungarian Re-
forms, and to that end dispatched their Croat Colo
mel, Jelachich, into Southern Hungary, to assume
the title of Ban OF Croatia and foment there an
instruction and War of Races in order to
afford a pretext for the medtated Imperial
treachery. Jellachich was an Austrian tool from
the start, and never for one moment out OF the
confidence OF the Court. His outlawry was
mere blind his invasion of Central Hungary was
the most inexcusable outrage Of modern times
and the austrian Court vas ITS instigatOr and sup
pied the sinews of war. All was peace aud At.
ection for Austria on the part Of the Magyars an
til this tangled web of treachery was unraveled
and then all was rightly changed TO indignation
and detestaton. If the Hungarians then took the
aide of the inIurgent democracy OF Vienna agains'
the perhdious Court which had so deceived and
betrayed them, they did perfectly right; and II
they had all banshed scruples and entered into
the work as heartily as Kossuth did, Liberty
would have been permanently established both in
Hungary and Austria, and the despotism which
has crushed them would now be a thing of the
past. Hungary had been ravaged through almost
its whole extent by JeIlachch before an arm was
lifted in resistance or in any form OF opposition to
Austria.
