the name, would not under similar circumstances,
have done the samel We know that the names OF
Hampden, Pym, and Russell, are treasured among
us Is household words; and we feel assured, that in
other days, when the freedom and Independence OF
hungary have been reconquered, the honored name
OF hossuth will be added to the bright galaxy
which already shine forth on the page of history,
pointing out to mankind the true path to national
virtue, freedom. and glory.
With these convictions, we rejoice that there is
probability OF the Mississippi bringing Kossuth to
Southampton His reception, under any cir sum
stances wiil we know, be such as to reflect credit
on our municipal authorities, on the town of
Southampton, and OH the whole British nation;
but the union of England and America, through
their respective representatives, in giving ex-
the character Of the distn guished parsonage whom
they have, by their joint remonstrances, rescued
from the clutches Of his implacable foes will give
additional ea to the gratifying and interesting pro-
ceedings. We hope, therefore, to see once more in
our old town hall-that venerable monument of
civic freedOm--the royal standard Of England and
the stars and stripes of the American republic
blended together in honor Of man whose great
deed and brilliant eloquence, are as imperishable
as the sacred principles for whish he so nobly,
though for q time unsuccessfully, commended. This
is not the place to enter into the particulars Of
garian leader, and which, by their originality APP
pIopriateness and boldness, dazIed and astonished
the world Those mighty powers which would have
defed the armed hordes Of two empires, had it not
history; but though treachery and brute force have
tramped in the dust the liberties of Hungary, and
made the streets of her town, and cities run with
patriot blood, there is halo Of glory around the
name of her foremost man before which the fame
of kings and conquerors 'must pale its Intellectual
fres.''
Such is the man who is about to visit the shores
of England for the first time, to thank, as he him
self expresses It, the government and people Of this
country for the sympathy which they have mani
Tested in his behalf and conf dent he will be
gratifed with his recep tion. He might have gone
straight to America. an it would have been far
more convenient for him to have done so; but, like
all truly great men, gratitude is leading feature
In MS character and he has, therefore, seized the
earliest opportunity afforded him to pay his per-
soDal respects to people, between whom, and his
own brave countrymen, there is so much in COM
