The Democratic sentinel and Harrison County farmer. [volume] (Cadiz, Ohio) 1851-1852, 1851-12-10

hat every man who longs for freedom in
europe, as well as in this nation, has a kind
ceiling for Hungary. / ana thankful for the
generous action taken for my liberation by
America, which you say is an infant coun-
try, but | say no! She isa giant, and tho
she has only been a shoTttme in hergrowth,
some rs years, she has done more than 9TH
er nations who have been 1000 years IN
existence. and as the power OF steam has
blotted the word distance from the dietiOn-
airy, with regard to crossing the Atlantic, /
hope and trust that American generosity
and American sympathy will not see the
.day far distant, when the word shall be Civ
en- 10 all Europe, which shall make it free;
and give it perfect liberty. l give you my
hand, There he extended his hand to DR..
Doane, and | hope you will not be disap-
pointed in me. III am a straight forward
man, and have been true to those principles
which you in the United States revere, and
though my country is not so great as yours,
nor are my people so happy and free, as you
are, still | hope we shall meet with your ia
vor and your sympathy in the cause of our
nation. (Applause.)
After this address, Kossuth and the mem
bers of his staff, together with DR.. Doane,
proceeded to the shore, and a carriage being
ready, they Immediately moved to that gem
tleman's residence, where the Magyar took
possession of the suite of rooms prepared for
him, and after taking refreshments retired
to rest.
On leaving the Dock at Southampton, the
Humboldt was cheered by countless thou
sands who assembled to bid farewell TO Kos
suth, and as the vessel moved from her moor
ings the last burst Of enthusiasm rent the
air.
On getting out to sea, and at the first din
ner party after clearing the land, Capt. Tines
drank to the health of Kossuth, and the
whole company of cabin passengers who
were at the table, rose and cheered him vo-
ciferously. He did not make any speech in
reply, but politely bowed to the company
several times during the continuance of the
cheering.
During the voyage, which was very bois-
ferrous, no demonstration was made, as the
Magyar was very sick during most of the
time. He wrote a great deal during the pas
sage, and remained very select, not even in
termingling in the least with the passengers.
On the pilot-boat meeting the vessel, as
it approached Sandy Hook, the pilot handed
the following letterfrom the Mayor of New
York to the illustrious Magyar:
CRY HALL, Dec. 4, 1851.
DEAR SIR-In order that our city may
have notice to assemble and welcome you to
our city and country as they desire, we
would respectfully request you to leave the
steamer at the Quarantine, and remain a
few hours with D.. Doane, who will, with
great cheerfulnesS, tender to you the hospi-
tality of his house, and where we are assured
every attention will be paid to your comfort
during the time it may benecessary for you
10 continue rs his guest.
We arc with great respect,
A. Z. hINGsLAND, Mayor,
GEO. +. FRANKLIN, Alderman.
10 Governor hoSSuth, Of Hungary.
The passengers on the Humboldt are not
prepossessed in favor of the Magyar, as he
has been, what they call too aristocratic for
them, but as we learned he was much occu-
pied in composition during the passage, it is
probable that he was too much occupied in
mental labor, to be an taH in conversation
with every one who aspired to his ~acquain-
lance.
Aossuth is a good looking man, about five
feet seven or eight inches in hight, and with
great expression of feature. His eve is all
intelligence, and his brow, though not so
broad as it has beenrepresented on many of
his portraits, towers up to an extreme hight,
and is somewhat expansive. He appears to
be a slim man, rather than fullin the chest,
as often portrayed, and, as is the custom of
his country, he wears a beard and mousta-
chlos which cover the lower part of his face
His hands are very small, and his cos
tune, when he arrived, was the simple una
lorned dress of his country, the great coat,
Ohe Hungarian hat, with its feather and dam
Cling tassels. Altogether he has a command
ing figure, and the first impression which
would strike an intelligent person on looking
at him, would be one of respect, on account
of the intelligence and philosophical ap-
pearance of his whole exterior man.
