orig you. The great struggle which you have pc
gun in Hungary, the blow which you have struck for
Hungarian nationality Is so ike the struggle OF our
ia'hers-so like the blow they struck, that We have
looked upon II as The rebound OF Their action, and
you sir, ard your cOmpatrots, as sons OF the same
liberty and brethren OF the same great family

tend for republic. but for the maintenance OF Ger.

subbornly resisted, she not only asserted these
rights but more-the rights OF self government and

sIsiance, rushed III one mass to arms and they who
had at first been respectful petitioners, now in
dgIant bclllgeTents, claiming no alternative but
nationality and independence. These, Sir, are some
OF the reasons why Americans will claim you as
bTother-wherever you go through their country your
progress Will be an ovation. But you have other and
higher claims 70 our fraternity. For my plrt-and

The univ ersal brotherhood OF man, and the unver-

Gated upon the American heart by the sacred reii-

We have made. We regard every man a brother,
and every invasion of the rights of man as
the invasion OF brothers rights. Brother JON

termed him, has been the younger and the weaker
brother IN the great family OF nations. There
another younger brother, Sir, of whom we read who
was once sold 10 the IShmaelites but whose innate
energies rapidly diated in power and majesty, and
who had the luxury OF opening his overlooking gar
ners to feed his starving brethren. God, Sir, never
acts without a purpose, and is now time for the
free men OF America--the three and aha.f millions
OF young men Of Amerca-to ask OF themselves
why they are here upon this earth : IL was Cain,
