These, we apprehend, to be tie more e,,.o..l
points now at issue between The Courier and an.
selves. There are. however one or two 9TH.
topics on which long as this Srticlsis already. ".
must touch
The first OF these is the murder of embervsD,
Latour, to both Of which acts the Courier charge,
that Kossuth was accessory. AS TO the Hrst III,
enough to state that it was accomplished by,
mass Of people At a period OF EXTREMIST exci,A
ment, when the revealed treachery of Aus,u,
combined with the approach of Jellschich and b,
army, had wrought the whole population Of Peuh
into a state OF fury. One rumor AFTER anOthe
raised the tide Of excitement Il was reported
that Lemberg, whose mission was known, rd
who, being Hungarian, had been proclaimed,
L. 81 k.I in
about to close the gates OF the fortress, and wOadn,
doubt lombard Pe,th in order to drive out the A.
senbly. Stirred up by such rumors, the mats, 70
the number Of thousands, seized Whatever wer
| pons they could lay hands on. and rushed to The
bridge to prevent the gates of the fortress on II.
other side from being closed. On the bridge they
met Lemberg, traitor, on's traitorous mi,son.
and we say it would have been surprising il he
had not fallen victim to their fury. The cOOria
attempts to convict Kossuth who was absent
from the city and could not know on Whit
day he was coming,) Of the guilt OF hi
death; and on what testimony Why, on the
report of Cour. Martial appointed by Butcher
Hsynau to inquire into this very subiec. or
course with no other purpose than to make ou.
the guilt Of Kossuth, and the wonder is in read.
ing their statements that they have made Oas
so poor case We leave to tho aPprecil
tion of the public the journalist who on such eVi
deuce, deliberately and repeatedly. puts forth.
charge Of murder against such a man.
So, too with regard to the death of LatOar
That was VIGOROUSLY the act OF an excited ma.
a. time when the certainty that the Govern
ment had all along been playing deep gsmsOf
treschery, and was bent on the extinction Of
dear.bought popular rights, had reused whole
population to fury. The only grounds on which
The Courier can base it's charge in this case, are
that Pulszky, Kossuth's agent in Vienna, 70
said to have written to him a letter Of con
graduation on the death of the Minister, the
foe and betrayer of their country; that Pulng
spent at Vienna in September, some $4,000
and that the Hungarian Government con6scata
Latour'- estates after he was dead 30 inu
Kossuth is concerned, we are content to let tbs
go without further reply. Blu. in behalf Of The
people Of Vienna, we utterly deny that the OcsO
Der revolution was the result of foreign inAueus
or was the work Of foreign hands. That hi
story which the despots OF Europe have Away
told, and it has always been lie. The revolg
ton at Paris, at Berlin, at Vienna, at Rome, va
the offspring of the spirit Of the people, and wy
their work, foreigners having only collaserslM
subsidiary part therein
The Courier reiterates the assertion that Kos
suth and the HuDgarans were not republican
We never said they were and do not think !ha
point material to the case. What we do main
tain is that they fought for the freedom and h
dependence OF Hungary and for indefeasble rists
of humanity. They fought on the side Of Liberty
in Europe aud all the friends Of liberty, no mat
ter of what name, still give them their symps
thies and lament their fall. Had they succeeded,
could monarchcal usurpation and reactionaryin
trigues now carry the high hand they do in Italy
Germany or France No, their victory would
have been the triumph Of universal freedom and
their failure was its heavy calamity Besides W.
appeal to the early history Of Kossuth to bis acH
in Parliament before the revolution, to the iad
that it was bis eloquence which carried ins'n

declarations since, to sustain our assertion, shS
