gone through the fiery ordeal OF Revolution, and
had come out unscathed he had been unfortunate,
but his love Of liberty had not been diminished. We

Governor kossuth comes here not as the represent

alive OF human liberty everywhere. The case OF

against her oppressor and had conquered Austria

that the providence of God Hungary would yet be
successful lie thought i wrong, IN these days OF
progress to be governed altogether by what had been
done before and because Congress had never before
adopted a resolution like this, therefore reject this.
The Senator from New-Hampshire is adroit par

introduced he processes great friendship for II. uses
fine words IN lis favor, but moves to attach 10 II
something which utterly defeats it, So IT was with

abstract declaration of the nights Of man No one
can mistake the design OF the Senator-every one
knows that an abstract declaration concerning the
institution Of Slavery IN the States Of this MON can
not pass-the Senator himself knows II ought MOTTO

Counten8nce this lTebTand which the Senator has
thrown in this discussion.
Mr.. UNDERWOOD thought Congress ought to pause
before they passed this or any similar resolution.
Does any one here profess TO know the merits OF all
