Court intrigue 10 abdIcate IN FAVOR OF OVy
who was fettereG by no promises or caths.
The Court and Royal House fully resolvetto
retake bv the strong arm all that the old En-
peror had in their view weakly and incon-
siderately conceded to the HungarIans. To
this end, the Croat JelIachich, an Austrian
Court tool, was dispatched into Croatil to
raise an instruction in that province
AGAINST the Hungarian authority. for which
the only plausible Pretext was decree Of
the Hungarian Diet that in all laws and
judicial proceedings the Hungarian Ian
ruage should henceforth be used instead Of
the Latin which had hitherto been employ
ed. This enabled Jellachich 10 raise a
formidable rebellion among the ignorant
and martial barbarians Of Croatia, whose
language was neither Latin nor Magyar,
whereby Jellachich, attacking Hungary
entirely by surprise. and when her sol
diers were mainly absent serving Austria in
Italy. came near subverting her Government.
But the people rallied to the National stand
ard. routed Jellachich's army, and sent him
a headlong fugitive to the Austrian Court.
which had hitherto affected to denounce him
as traitor and set price on his head but
which now received him as a faithful SER
vitor. which in secret he had been from the
first. And now the Austrian Court, relieved
from imminent peril at home by the over
throw of the popular party at Vienna and in
Italy by the triumphs Of Radetzky, openly
proclaiming its infdelity TO its solemn en-
gagements with Hungary. demanded uncon-
ditional submission TO its own absolute will.
ard poured its armies into Hungary to en-
force this demand. They were met in the
terrible and bloody campaign Of the winter
of 1889, completely routed and driven
from the country. Hungary unaided, with
out money or credit, with scarcely the
skeleton of a regular army at the outset,
with the insidiousl " fomented rebellions of
her own Slavonic tribes distracting her on
every side, and with the whole might of
Austria put forth against her, drove the in
vaders back from Debreczin to COmorn,
routing and nearly destroying their dlsci-
plined hosts in a series of pitched battles,
took Buda by storm and reestablished her
in Pesth, whence it had been
driven at the outset of the campaign. As
between Austria and Hungary, the triumph
of the latter was complete, and the MASTER
spirit of that triumph was the Finance
Minister and Governor-President, Louis
X ossUTH.
But the combined forces of European
Despotism were too mighty to be withstood
by few millions of people, isolated from all
and weakened by domestic rebel
ion. The myriads of the Autocrat invaded
her from the North while the recruited le-
gions of Austria renewed the attack on the
West Gorgey's treason FASTENED and az
gravated the already too probable catas-
Irophe. Hungary fell her Liberty and
Nationality persisted; the scaffold drank
the blood of some of her worthiest sons and
kossuth, noblest of them all, with few fell
low fugitives from the CORY, sinking wreck,
found a refuge in the dominions of the Sui
tan, under a restraint from which they have
Just been released on the intercession of our
i'll whose steam frigate Mlssls-
sippi he is now approaching our shores.
Need We urge that the arrival of this
greatest of Freedoms living heroes and
martyrs ought to be so commemOrated that
Despots everywhere shall be admonished
and oppressed Nations catch hope and inspi-
ration from the spectacle We have no
love for parade and no desire that expense
should be incurred, hut there ought to be
demonstration, however quiet, of the fact
that the American People unanimously and
fcrvently sympathize with the great apostle
OF European Liberty and welcome him to
their homes and hearts as leader and 4
brother
OF course, our City Authorities will par
tlcipate in his reception, but they should not
stand alone The Federal Government,
which has borne so important and honorable
a part in his liberation, should also be rep
resented in his reception, while the People
should be enabled not merely to witness but
actively 10 participate in the testimonial.
We trust some means may be devised
whereby the general sympathy with the
coming hero may be rendered tributary to
the relief and sustenance Of his destitute
counuymen who have sought or are now
seeking a refuge on our shores. and that the
money which would otherwise be wasted in
