These social Institutions are no theorencal fanla-

We desire however, not 10 De mlSunue1stoou In
respect of these principles.
Standing on the principle OF individual liberty, we
admit for every community every people, every
nationality IN the fullest degree the sovereign rignt
10 dispose Of their affairs, within the bounca-
ries Of eternal right. We are far removed from
wishing to force all the manifold tendencies and
forms Of freedom into the same Procustes bed, or
from modelling all the wishes and wants OF freedom
of different nations upon the same pattern. AS the
one human spirit maniess itself IN different lndl-
viduas IN different ways, so IS 1t with reeoom In
different peoples.
Along with this our programme OF the future and
of peace are lmpelled to say few words about
what We fear and what we desire for the next strug
gle in Hungary.
We no longer fear that foolish national jealousy
among the smaller peoples OF Austria which has al
ways and everywhere proved the greatest enemy OF
freedom We fear rather too sudden and impatient
overflow of the Just desire OF national Independence
We shall regard the victory OF freedom AS delayed
II revolutionary rlsings among the Poes Germans
and Southern Savons should render more dlffcult
the central guidance OF the revolution. We hope
and wish accordingly, that all nations, that are
now confined In the common dungeon called AUS
uia," should be inspired with one idea, namely, the
moment of the struggle they should be guided by one
WILL and display one active force. Subordndt,on
must be the motto OF individuals OF parties, ana OF
natlonaties
When the enemy is destroyed, peace assured and
freedom confirmed, then, at the first truly European
Congress OF Nations and of Peace, the natonaitles
OF present Austria, IN genuine equalty and lnde-
pendence, can group themselves together as Will
best suit their interest and the aims Of Humanity,
according to the example of this glorious Republic,
where, under the same banner and the same laws,
millions Of all nations of Europe live free and for
that reason happily and in peace with each other.
Let us with confidence expect that In the Republics
that will rise like the ph0nix from the ashes OF de-
sroytd Austria the various peoples and races recon
ciled by Equality, united by Freedom, Will live TO-
Permit u.s. as foImei inhabitants of Vienna, to re-
mark that the population Of that city has proved
true and faithful TO Hungary from the beginning OF
the Revolution to the unhappy catastrophe IN Octo-
Der The great principle OF non intervention, "hch
you, Citizen Governor, have proclaimed win such
lofty eoquence and eminent success In the va ana
the New World, called the population OF Vienna 10
arms. Vienna would not suffer that Austrian sol
ders should intervene In the treacheTously n1amed
| strife of nationaItes In Hungary. Vienna fought
and fell for the principle of non-interyention. II
fell, because, folio wing the cab OF honor 1t had no
| time for PREPARATION II fell, because you also,
| Citizen GOveTpor-astonished at the shamelessness
and magnitude of falSehood and perjury displayed
by the house OF Hapsburg scarcely had time to repel
the hordes of the adventurer JelIachlch IRON the
gates OF Pesh and to hasten to the relief OF Vienna
You with the honesty and diIectness OF man OF the
people, could not imagine, from the Emperor 10
whom only in June previous YOU had offered re-
fuge at Pesth, and troops 10 sustain the monarchy,
that he had already cast the net around you. Wen
fell TO rise again at the first trumpetcaH OF the
| Revolution, and 10 intervene everywhere when
| despotism inteVenes-everywhere when faith Is
broken, right trodden under foot, and freedom en-
Saved.
And now let close this address Of greeting with
the consolatory words OF the Hungarian poet, who
sings the Catastrophe Of Mohacs Al Bndd, el Nag

This was responded to by loud cheers, after which
Dr. Hertzka proceeded to read a briefer address IN
the name of the Democracy of Vienna.
