The daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1848-1851, 1851-12-16

From the accounts furnished by the New York
papers, are informed that extraordinary excite.
ment and interest exists in that city, consequent
upon the reception of the noted Magyar chief, Kos.
suth His speech at Castle Garden is published in
the Herald, and occupies two columns. He says
that it is not party but to the people OF the nied
States that he will address his request for aid and
protection to oppressed humanity. He will con-
scientiously respect our laws, but within their
limits he will use every honest exer,ion to gain our
operative sympathy and our financial material and
political aid for his countrys freedom and indepen-
dence. kossuth asks what can be opposed to the
recognition on the part of the people of the United
States, Of the declaration Of Independence, which
he declares to be the only r'ghtfu existing public
law Of Hungary, and by which he is declared to be
its freely-chosen constitutional chief? Is it, he
asks, from Hulsemann, and the anger of that sate-
lite of the Gar, Francis Joseph Of Austria, or the
danger that our minister at Vienna will have his
passports offered to him, and that M. Hu!semann
will leave Washington, should he (Kossnth) be
received and treated in any official capacity The
whole speech is in this strain-containine frequent
illusions to M. Hulsemann.
