the further differences between your present con-
yeniences and that of the time OF President Mon
roe-not less important than hose between Mon
roe's and W ashingions time. But one mighty
difference must still commemorate. That is,
that your population has, since Monroe's lime,
nearly doubled, | belleye-at least increased by
millions. And what sort OF men these mil
lions! Are they only native born Americans?
No! European enigrants they are; who,
though citizens of the United States, are by the
most sacred ties of relationship attached 10 Eu-
ropes fate. That is consideration worthy of
the reflection of your calmest and wlsest men,
who, after calm reflection, must agree with me,
that in your present condition you are at least as
much interested in the fate OF Europe, as your
fathers twenty-eight years ago declared them
selves interested in the fate OF Central and South
ern America.
/ And really so it is The unexampled immense
prodgious sympathy for the cause my country
which met with in the United States proves that

change IN your foreign policy, is not even more

the President of the United States, His ExcelIen-
cy, Willard Fillmore, communicated 10 the Con-
gress few days ago. There read the paragraph
| 1.-The deep interest which we feel in the spread
ofliberal principles, and the establishment of free
governments, and the sympathy with which we
witness every struggle against oppression, forbid
that we should be indifferent to a case in which
the strong arm of foreign power is invoked to

freedom In any country,
Now, gentlemen, here is the ground which |

OF Hungary. have only respectfully to ask, is
principle which the public opinion of the people
OF the United Suites resolutely processes, and
the government of the United States with the iull
sentiment Of its responsibility, declares to your
Congress TO be ruling principle of your national
government-ls that principle meant to be ser-
Gus! Indeed, confess that it would be the most
important outrage towards your great people, and
your National Government, to entertain the of
Tending opinion that what the people of the Uni
ted States and its National Government, in such
solemn diplomatic manner, processes to be
ruling principle of your policy, should not be
meant to be but Joke about the most sacred in
terests of humanity God forbid that should
feel the Impairment arrogance to think so!--there-
fore take the principle of your policy as find it
established without any interference, and come
IN the name of oppressed humanity to claim the
neutral, logical, unavoidable practical consequent

which you have avowed 10 the whole world, the
right to claim the realization of these expressions
which your sovereign people of the United States
have chosen, out OF your own accord, to raise in
the bosom of my countrymen and of oppressed
humanity.
You will excuse me, gentlemen, for having
dwelt SO long about the principle of non-interler-
