We have with great pleasure that while you
have been &C knowedged by the government of the Uni
ted States as the representative OF Hungary you have also
been welcomed by the American people as the accredited
organ of the democratic party in Europebrought TO
continent in national shp-salued BY the artillery of
forts when you approached these shores the first
ceved by the Congress Of the United States with honors
never before extended TO the representative OF any
eminent or people But in addition 10 all this, and which
is Of greater significance, there has been superadded
these conspicuous official greetings earnest and enhu
sastic demonstration from the masses OF the American
people, which proves that they look to you as the man APP
pointed TO lead the republican movement in Europe TO
more glorious successful and permanent than any
which have yet been achieved.
The American people have become aroused TO the
responsibilities which rest upon them great and pow
crlu republic, in view OF the struggle that is 10
be renewed Europe between the party OF the past and
will moi seek alliances Where could we find repab

does not seem to be possible, because a government

Russia for similar outrage upon national rights and

pendent action in behalf OF the friends OF popular free

The greatest triumph tina, awaits the democratic party
in Europe will be the constitutional election OF demo
cratic president and legislature France This event
will be practical demonstration of the truth that
permanent republic in Europe is possibe that It's exis

dynasles, eiihe! Bourbon, Orleans, Bonaparst The
democracy of France, in power, will set things in
order there. Its first act will be 10 recall the French
troops from Italy, and il another army shall be sen, from
France II will protect the Italian people from the hostile
interference of Austria and Spain.
The democratic party Of The United States is devo-
ted, heart and SOUL to the cause OF the people every

ematcay and promptly If that party had been in power
in ls4s, whole influence would then have been efec
