We believe the conviction is very general that il would
have been wiser in Kossnh at this time to have rested
his solely with people, and forborne TO make
appeal to government for any further action demon
siratlon in relation Hungary than those which i'm
piled in what Congress and the Executive have already
done in his invitation and reception. This action
have before stated must be regarded everywhere very
significant.
But his additional appeal TO government is before
the people. and deem it desirable that his request
should not be misunderstood His first and most i'm
portant request is wofod in lis character, and the
elements OF which it consists TO TO have
cessary connexion. He asks government, first, TO
recognise declare certain abstract doctrine to be part
of the public law of the world and secondly declare
that this doctrine shall all be maintained and en-.
forced by is manifest that the propriety of Of
these declarations by implies the expedency Of
the other The poprety OF recognising the doctrine of
public law for which Kossuh contends as sound doc
trne by implies involves the expedency Of
pedgng ourselves TO maintain vndicate it by force,
whenever it may be infracted.
This distinction is important because, in the judgment
OF the American people, Kossuh's principle, as an
nounced by him, will doubtless be regarded sound and
true |, may be stated as follows: Every nation has
by the law of nations, right 10 establish and maintain
lis government; and therefore the armed interven
lion OF third power force upon such nation any other
government is inraclon OF the laws of nations AS
an abstract proposition this to be undenable. II
is doctrine which any free government may, upon any
suitable occasion, righully and properly announce
But the further question: whether, assuming this doc
trne be true, government any other ought TO
nounce It's determination in all maintain this
doctrine OF public law. and TO resist punch by force
its infraclon plainly question of principle, but SIM
ply of policy-of expedency AS such it must, in each
instance depend upon the circumstances of the partcu
lar case and therefore any general pledge declara
lion made in advance to the action OF government
in any such which may hereafter occur must be i'm
prudent and unwse II would be attempt TO do not0
what belongs the fuure-to the next year, or the next
age The question in each case must be me, when 1T
