Ministerial responsibilities all Parliamentary olnnip-

M. KossUTH then proceeded to make some re-
marks with respect to Birmingham in particular,
noticing its public buildings as raised without ex-
ternal assistance and furnishing proofs OF its lofty
public spirit selfconfdence, and perseverance, and
observing that in no place did he more confidently
hope to see the sympathy which he met have
practical result. Industry was chief element OF
greatness, welfare, power and might. Industry
gave practical value to science. Industry was the
most efficient locomotive of progress. But indus
try became pedestal to the public order OF coun-
try and lasting source of public and private vel
fare when it not only largely difused, but also
connected with the independent condition OF the
manufacturers, which independence, securing sub
stantal position to those who work, could not fail
to mpart to the manufacturing that selfesteem,
that noble PRIDE and that sense of proper dignity
which was the mark of free man, and the richest
source of private and public virtue. Hear, hear.l
In the middle ages the cities were the last strong
hold of liberty when all around was feudal bond
age. The cities of old were almost nothing else
than corporate bodies of manufacturers, indepen-
dent in their position, working at the fire of their
own domestic hearths working with themselves
men whom we might characterize as ''small mas
ters." So industry became the last stronghold OF
political freedom, and it was precisely the means
of personal independence. Hear, hear. The de-
velopment of science led to large, mighty, indus
trious establishments, where the secret powers OF
nature are made subservieut to the creative power
of industry and these mighty establishments are
rs beneficial to a nation where large population
looks for employment they glorious in the
history the development of mans faculties hear,
but requiring large capital therefore more subject
ed to the uctuation of commerce, exposed to great
losses we'll as to great gains, and having more
personal character, whereas industry largely diff
fused and founded the substantial Independent
situation of those who worked had more public
and political character, and constituted lasting
public element in the condition of country. This
was the happy condition of Birmingham, the seat
of industry and centre and heart of large manu-
featuring district. He saw with admiration the
Crystal Palace where humanity met; it was in
wonder of Birmingham energy and industry where
this meeting of humanity was held. Cheers.I 1t
was Birmingham which preceded, by its local expo
sition, the idea of the Worlds Exposition. Cheers
1t was Birmingham, which, by the genius of Elk
ington, gave us the electrotype. Hear, hear.
Here the workshop of Watt, whose engines
blotted the word difficulty out of the Dictionary.
Hear, hear. But what was most to be admired
was, that even steam had been made subservient
to the peculiar domestic character of their largely
diffused industry so as to be almost an article of
domestic use. Hear, hear This character oftheir
industry made Birmingham the seat Of that spirit
of independence and freedom which made their
glory and his hope. Cheers. The freedom Of
such a nation, united in policy with its younger
brother the Atlantic could not fail to be the
pulsation of mankind, and that part of the world
where such pyramid of civilization stood could
not be doomed to be the prey of Russian Austrian
despots. Hear.] They would remember Paulus
Elnilius, whose triumph by a whm of fate was
placed between the tombs of his two sons and his
quite Roman words-Claden. domus niece Uestra
telicitas comsolatur. Could any thing console
Magyar for the misfortune of his fatherand, here
was the place where he On. Kossuth) would re-
peat that Romans words.
But even there he felt to be a homeless exile and
all he saw and all that spoke to his heart carried
back his memory to his down-trodden native land.
Hear, hear1 The root of his life was not in him.
SELF his individuality was absorbed in the thought,
freedom, people, fatherland! What was the key
of the boundless confidence which his people bore
to him? They took him for the incarnation of
their sentiments, wishes, affections, hopes. Hear,
hear. Was it not, then, natural that the suffer
ings of his nation should be embodied in him
Yes, he bore the woe of millions of Magyars i'll his
breast. Hear. hear. The people-that mighty
pyramid of mankind-the people was everywhere
honorable, noble, and good. Hear, hear Even
in view of the greatness of the English nation, he
must be allowed to proclaim that he felt proud to
be Magyar. Hear, hear Their enemies said

himself They stirred up to the fury of civil war
the Croat, Serb, Slovack, Wallach; the house of
Hapsburs brought its power to bear, but still it
would not do; the proud dynasty had to stoop at
the feet of the Gar for his legons and still Hun
gary would have been match for him but for the
diplomacy which contrived to introduce treason.
(Hear, hear.) Still, it was not mere party, and
it might be judged then how it would be when all
these Croats, Walachians, Serbs, Slovacks, should
range under one banner of freedom and right.
Hear, hear. And assuredly they would. Hear,
hear. Humanity with its child's faith might be
deluded for WHILE but the bndfold soon fell from
the eyes. Hear, hear. So then the scorned
"party" turned out to be nation. Hear. But
it was said it was he On. Kossuth) who inspired it.
No, it not he who inspired the Hungarian peo-
pie; it the Hungarian people who inspired him.
Hear, hear. Whatever he thought and felt was
but feeble pulsation which in the breast of his
people beat. (Hear, hear) The glory of battles
were ascrbod to the leaders in history and theirs
were the laurels of immortality ; they knew they
would forever live the lips of their people Very
different the light spread the image of those
thousands of the peoples sons who knew that where
they fell they would lie, their names unhonored
and ilnsung, and who STILL animated by the love of
batteries whose cross-tires vomited death and de-
struction on them, they who fell falling with the
shout, HURRAH FOR HUNGARYw (Hear, hear.)
And so they died by thousands, the unnamed dem
igods. "a burst cheering.) Such was the peo-
pie of Hungary. (Renewed chees.) He who
knew all this-who knew what sort of curse was
mixed in the prayer of the Magyar, who knew
what spirit was burning in the breast of the old
