Gentlemen, the Emperor Napoleon, nearly fifty
years ago. spoke prophetic word, when he SAID
that In fifty Yeas the European Continent would Pc
come either Republican or Cossack- NOW the tut

once free the Continent OF Europe becomes Repuo-

Cossack. Applause
Now, Gentlemen, what does Hungary want TO be-
come free
For the restoration of Hungary to freedom and
independence 1t IS not necessary that other nations
should fight our battles, we will night our battles
ourselves. We want ORlv non-lnteTierence
want only that the right OF every nation to dispose
of itself shall be respected. We want fair play
[Laughter.l And what is necessary for THIS
Nothing more than that the United States shall feel
and declare itself to be power on EARTH and that
IL will become the executive power Of the laws OF
nature and of natures God and that YOU raising
your gigantic ann in a commanding attitude, should
speak these words to the Russian Bear" Keep
back, and to the Gar, " Hands off," Let the brave
Magyars fight their own battles and have fair play.
That is all that's wanted. (Great cheering You
will never, perhaps for centuries, have more go-
nous opportunity to exert this your power for the
benefit of mankind than now. For centuries and
centuries the word glory was connected with
conquest and oppression. Take the nsW glory
for yours to give freedom to the world by as
sming to all nations fair play 10 fight their own
battles against their own oppTessors Ira. is what
first humbIy request and hope from the people OF
the United States
My second request is, tha, the L. States should pro-
tect trade of its citizens, because now the freedom
OF commerce with Europe is not only unprotected,
but is entirely al the mercy Of the absolutistcai
principles OF the despots OF Europe | pray that
the private generosity of the American citizens will
furnish me with the means to be somewhat better
prepared for that war which we will fight, even If
forced to fight with only nails [Great Iaughter
But, suppose that your private generosity provides
me with the means to furnish some preparation TO
my nation for that indispensable war, may not be
permitted to buy with this money which you give
for the benefit of Hungary some ships built here IN

Wilmington, TO blow up tho desposs in the AIR,

against the chill ~intry campaign Why may not
be permitted TO buy this If you are willing to sell to
me and | am willing and have the means to pay
Now, II is not permitted 10 make this commerce
with me. The Emperor of Austria may come and
buy ships powder, cannon, muskets, everything
but oppressed nations have not the right even for
ready money. to buy these means for their seifde-
Tense. Applause would humbly ask, is such
commerce founded upon the principle OF the eternal
rights of men | answer No. Freedom OF CON-

and the right of every citizen ofthe United States
YOu Gentlemen, are attached TO the principles OF
sef-government. You say that the people are soye-
TegI-soveIeign in the family-soyereign IN the
community sovereign in the clty-in the town-ln
the country--in tie republic and therefore, there
are some rights in regard to which you cannot de-
pend upon any good Will or understanding with the
tyIanls OF the European continent. l have very
often read and studied the words OF Washington,
and there / find that your great leader has recon-
mended to the people OF the United states harmony
and good understanding. With whom! With the
oppressors With the tyrants OF the world No
With nations And now you are in the condition in
which YOU cannot carry on commerce with the ma
tons OF Europe when those nations chance to
make up an account with their own oppressors. Is
that reason for you 90 be deprived OF your COM
mercial rights | say no. and therefore request
that the people Of the Unit, States may be pleased
to restore the law of national intercourse IN respect

nlZe that the word sovereignty can rest only IN the
people Of whatever county and that THERE'S no other
Sovereign than the peoples will. That is the pm
ciple upon which you stand and therefore You must
recognize II also with respect 10 other nations Tor

of independence Of Hungary because, BY making
this recognition. you raise Hungary TO the station

claration OF Independence Hungary Is only as an H.
