need of aid, as itsefwas once in need, will kindly
remember these facts, and you. citizens of New
1ork, THAT you will yourselves become the La Fay-
cites OF Hungary. La Fayette had great claims TO
your love and sympathy / come humble petition
er, with no other claims than those the oppressed
have 10 the sympathy Of freemen who have the
power to help; with the claim which the unfor-
tunale has to the happy, that the down trodden
has to the protection of eternal Justice and of hu-
man lights. In word, have no other claim
than that which the oppressed principle of free

humbly ask, are these claims sufficient to insure
your generous protection not to myself, but to the
cause of my lather-land? Not TO my fither-laud
only; but to the principle offreedom on Europes
continent, of which the independence of Hunga-
ry Is the indispensable keystone. If you consid-
er these claims not sufficient to your active and
cooperative sympathy, then let me know at once
that the hopes have failed, with which Euiope's
oppressed nations have looked to your great.
mighty, and glorious republic. Let me know at
once, the failure Of our hopes that may hasten
back and tell Europe's oppressed nations, ''let us
fight forsaken and single handed, the battle Of
Leondas. let trust to God, to our right, and TO
our good swords there is other help for the OPP

some active friends on the most practical CO.. rse
have to adopt let me if there be any prepara.

the honor to represent, and let me have a new op.
portunity TO expound before you my humble re-
quests in practical way. | confidently hope Mr..
Mayor, the corporation and citizens of the empire
city viii grant me the second opportunity. lfthis
be your generous will. then let me take this
boon ofhappier days. and let me add with sigh Of
thanksgiving to the Almighty that it is your glorious
country that Providence has selected to be the pill
low Of freedom. as it is already the asylum to op-
pressed humanity. | am told that will have the
high honor to review your patriotic militia. oh
God how my heart throbs at the idea. With this
gallant army enlisted on the side offreedom against
dcspotism the world weuld be free and youth sa-
vours of humanity. And why not these gallant
men take part in the mighty demonstration of the
day. proving that was right, that a-days even
the bayonets think. Citizens of New York. it is
under your protection that place the sacred cause
offreedom and Hungary.
