KoSsUTH AND HIS CALUMNIAToRs.
From the Manchester ENG Examiner Times, Nov IL
Nothing marvellous has been vii messed in ehe
history Of the world than has this week been presented
to the whole British nation in the singular and
ing addresses in which the ustrous patriot of Hungsry
has justified great reputation and glorious cause It
is not the eloquence Of the man nor the wonderful
versatility OF oratorical power which he has DISPLAYED
that constitutes his claim to admiration These are
qualities that national crises In all countries bring
Is full ofexampes of similar fecundty In the power OF
stirring mems minds, developed by all great national
the marvel OF Louis Kossuhs addresses stamps his
words with the weight that every Epgshmsn has
whilst peruing them II is the calm wisdom and vgor
Gus grasp Of all TIE elements OF true Craftsmanship,

br sdth and nobeeEs of his and character There
is fact alone In onnecton with his presence amongst

demagogue The mastery of foreign tongue In such
completeness that which Kossuh has manifested over
the English language, would have been an actua ion.
possfeily without perfect comprehension Of aud
familiarity with the ideas embodied in the complex
terms adapted to the expression Of every form OF
our rocisl life and the working of our political
municipal institutions. There is vagueness, no
half comprehension Of generalzed views the spirit,
mechsnism Of institutions but clear deep, de-
eerate familiarity with the whole power and purpose
Of constitutional principles they have been expoundsd
by The growth, and are now illustrated by the vin,

British freedom Never the meapness Of humai

which have been made to heap dscredt on Kossu,h and

Of which in this country should have been testimony

has been the character of those appeals made by the
Times newspaper to turn the tide Of public feeling
whese for te
last twenty years has been so completely before the
word-eo thoroughly and unreeryedly under the eyes
OF his OVID couptrymen And yet where is the allegation
brought against him that has assumed definite shape
what single proof has been adauced justify the
charges that have been insinuaed against his political
disnteres edress and personal integrity? The Austrian
govern las tracked his step-pursued him
it's sworn foe-watcbed him with LYNX eyed eager
ntss to seize the slightest ground fer visiting him
with tie heaviest penalties that single breach Of the
law would have readily furnished; and yet where s the
record that could substsntaie an Gccusation? Every
step Of his opposition to Austria has been shielded
meath the written ccnttution Of his country-nothing
bot the admitted laws Of Hungary could have saved him
years ago from naefactor's death He has been no
drrber OF the peace but the vindcaor OF bis countrys
