were only 1000 who fought with us, but still he
styled the Hungarian struggle Polish conspiracy,
and charged of plotting against the security of
his empire. Well, he ragged at the idea that it
was Polish hero now lying in his cold grave in
far Aleppo who beat down his bands in Transyl-
wanna. He wanted pretence to set his impious
foot on Europe's neck; and not finding pretence
he took it.
The short moral of my long story is thus stated
there it is. The Russian Intervention in Hun
gary has put the foot of the Gar on Europe's
neck. So long as Hungary, so long as Italy, do
not become free, that foot will rest on Europe's
neck: Yea, it will step from the neck upon the
head. [Cheers.] So long there will be in Europe
neither peace nor tranquility, but great boiling
up volcano, and Europe will be great barrack
and great blood-feld. [Chees. The cause of
Hungary is the cause of civil and religious liberty
Loud cheers. l say liberty in no spirit of exclu-
sive sectaranism, but mean liberty to every reli-
gious conviction. l being, as you know, a Protes-
tant cheers not only by BIRTH but by conviction,
declare 1 would struggle in my country with equal
enthusiasm for the liberty, equality, and autonomy
of Catholics, and Of every other religion alike. But
my principle is that the Church shall not naeddle
aOih politics cheers and that Government shall
not naeddle aOith religion. Loud cheers. I'M.
Kossuth here explained that his remarks at Biz
mingham were applied not to the religion of Ro-
man Catholics, but to the Papal Government, and
stated his views with regard to church property in
Hungary, which, he said, he was prepared to leave
to the church without any confscation. In con-
tinuation, he proceeded to show what were the re-
sources for the future First, she had no debt, for
they were not to share the debts of the house of
Austria. They had carried on the war by paper
money, it was true, but the Austrians burned the
greater part of it. and so they were quite clear of
that debt. Great cheers and laughter. Secondly,
independent and free Hungary would be rich in
resources. With security to person and property
they could not want to keep up large armies, more
especially their municipal institutions insured
them cheap Government. Cheers. In their salt
mines they had produce of 100000 sterling
alone, and large national estates besides, which
properly worked might be rendered available for
the people. In conclusion he called on them to
give their regard to the foreign affairs Of their
country, and to watch secret diplomacy, and re-
quested them humbly to remember the cause of
Hungary was connected with European liberty. 1t
was his humble prayer that the public opinion,
which he had not raised, but to which he had Civ
en- an opportunity of expression and manifestation,
would not be allowed to die away uselessly There,
where the Reform Bill was caried-where the pol
itical unions bessan-where the Freehold Land So
-clety orlglnatc;d-he asked the people of Brming-
ham, who lad protected their liberties against a
Charles, and in against Prince Rupert,
to remember the cause of Hungary. Let the peo-
pie of England once lend its mind to any thing,
and it would carry it. Sir Continued M. Kossuth)
l rely on it confidently. l rely on it in the name
OF all who suffer oppression and long for freedom,
like my own people and myself-all they are my
brethren, whatever tongue they speak, whatever
country they call their own, members of the great
family of mankind, the tie of blood is strengthened
between US by common sufferings To be sure
have not the pretension to play the part of Anach
Humble as am still am no Anacharsis Klootz,
tive land, well as the generous reception l en-
JOY, may perhaps entitle me to entreat you, gen
tlemen, to- take the feeble words raise to you out
OF the bottom of my own desolation for the cry Of
oppressed humanity, crying out to you by every
stamnefing tongue, People of England, do not
forget in thy happiness our suferings Mind, In
thy freedom, those who are oppressed; mind, in
thy proud security, the indignities endure, Re
member that with every down-beaten nation one
rampant of liberty falls. Remember the fckfeness
of human fate. Remember that those wounds out
of which one nation bleeds are so many woNnds
inflicted on that principle of liberty which makes
thy glory and thy happiness. Remember, there is
common tie which binds the destiny Of humanity.
Be thanked for the tear of compassion thou givest
to our mournful past, but have something
than tear, have in our future brothers hand to
give u.s." The close of the speech voeiferously
apPlauded, the whole company, ladies and all,
standing up and cheering for several minutes. NJ.
kossuth spoke two hours and quarter.
