through the decaying influences of the old Euronean
you would be pleased to see the stars Of your aorons
flag emblszon the double Of the Hungarian coat
Of arms When despotism hurled defiance at us and
the nation man. and legions with all the means
Of war appeared to rise from nothing as the tender
grass shoots up after spring showers
Though inf rior in numbers to the enemy,
and could not compare With their well trained forces
though our arms were shorter than theirsyet the he
roic SONS OF Hungary supplied the want Of numbers by
indomtable bravery and heightened their weapons BY
a step further in advance.
The world knows how bravely the Hungarians fought
And 1t Is not for me- who was Identified with the
who obeyiDg the Wishes Of the nation stood faithfully at
the helm Of governmentto extol the heroic deeds of
my countrymen may mention, however, that while
every day became evident that the heart Of Eu-
rope beat to the pulsations Of the Hungarian struggle
the rest OF the world and all external aid till year ago
We s,a the naughty power Of the sant house of
the intentional and tratorous disregard Of my com
msnds by one OF our leaders who iharae-
ner. ssmv sne country not only would the i'm
entire Austrian nation would have been liberated; and
though by such treason this base family themselves
from destruction, they were SO far humbled in March,
1o49 that not knowing how to be just they impored
foreign aid and threw ut the feet Of the Czar
The Emperor hoped ttat the Hungarian people would
be terrified by his threatenngs and would prefer slavery
to death but he deceived lie sold his own liber
to Russia for aid to enssye his people The choice of
coward is TO purchase miserable, epheneral exis-
tence even though at the cost Of his honor ndepen
dence
The Austrians fought against us not only with arms
and by the aid of traitors but with studied and
ing slsnder They ceased to impe motives
and fsly our conduct and vaunt the pretended
Of their before the Judgment seat Of public
opinion. Efoi Is constantly made ken among
the people of hungary and amorg the nations of the
werid' that sympathy and force which spring from
Free citizens Of North America you have given. in
spite Of these ISLANDERS the fullest sympathy for the
cause Of my country. We had opportunity to ex-
llain to you motives and conduct and refute the
hbels against us; but said-and how truly your no.
bic and magnanimous conduct shows it that such
nation knows how to defend just and holy cause and
will give Us its sympathy and this conviction inspired
US with more confidence. Oh, that you had been a
peighboripg patton the Old World would be free
and would have to endure again those terrible con
vulsons ard rivers Of bic cd which inevitable But
the end is with God and lie will choose the to
fulfil his purposes.
Ye great and free people receive the thanks of my
country for your noble sympathy which great
moral support In our terrible conflict
When the house Of Austria sold itself to the Autocrat
We. who atigued with hard victory but
not subdued OF exhausted saw with apprehension the
ept ctre Cf Russian invasion which violated
the laws OF nations, which openly hostile to the
cause OF civilization the rights of man, Of order and
even to that principle which the diplomacy OF Europe
calls the bal, CT power" could not believe that
the of Europe would nit this invasion
for believe they would intervene 70 effect treaty OF
peace II not so much on our account yet to prevent
Austria becoming the vRssal Of Russe-to check the
growing stre myth and influence Of the latter p2wer in
the Bast
We desred an honorable peace, aud were willing to
submit to any reasonable terms We many times ten
dersd the olive branch We asked the constitutional
OF Europe to interpos They heard net
The naughty imperial family, forgetting that they
the real traitors rejected every proposition with the de-
lying exIrsssio that they did treat with rebels"
aye, they threw ambassadors into prison and
one Of th'm-the Doblest Of Hungarys they
srdy and iDpicusy murdered Still hssitsted to
asuLder forever the bonds that united Ten onths
fueht, and fought victorousiy in defence; and 1t
when attempt bring abou, hon orabe
peace iailed--when Francis Joseph, who
k g dared in his manifesto OF the ath OF March, lsis
TO utter the curse that Hungary should exist snger
when there was no hope OF arrestiug the Rus
sian invasion by iplomacy-when that
must fight to ourselves from being struck of the
earth a nation-when the house Of Austria, by 1t )
endless acts Of injustice and cruelty and by calling In
the aid OF foreign power had in
Of the ii hungarian people every spark Of ascton-then
then only after much patience resolved
TO declare its absolute Independence. Then spoke this
National Assembly the words which had long been ut
tered by tongue -; Francis Joseph thou
beardless young Nero thou darest TO Hungary shall
exist DO more We the people, answer, do aud viii
exist but you and your Irescherous house shall stand
no longer You shall no more be Kings OF Hungary
Be forever bsnhed perdous traitors to the nation 20
We were not only ready 70 accept terms that
honorable but We carefully abstained from doing any
thing which would give the Czsr pretence, which he
had long sought, TO NEEDLE with eur affairs.
The hungarian nation loved freedom the best gift
OF Ged but II never thought Of commencing crusade
aesns Kings. In the name Of liberty In Hungary there
weie none IL those propsgandIsts who alarm much
he ruler, Of the Old world There were no secret soce-
hreIced by the theories Of communists cisiss
were they what the conservatives call anarchists The
iretpsctiys OF rank language, religion people so
verify OF freedom generous enough TO leave
thing TO time aud TO be satisfied with progressive de
yeloii ment No violence used Just tight was<
attacked; and OF those institutions LEFT
undsturbed, which, in their principle and origin
unjust but which, having existed fer centuries could
not tie abolished at once with mpunty
The Hungarian people did not wish to opprcss any
not t me they were more ready to make
sacrh es than to punish the descendants of nobility for
the wills of mbgoycrnment, aud Of these institutions
which emsnstcd IRON Their ancestors nor would they
let The many suffer for the sins OF the few.
There anarchy among us Even In the bloodlest
conflicts, when the huIas pss,ioDs most excited

and perstn. How did the conduct OF my noble country
compare with that Of the order making Austria
