which is consistent with safety birth right feel
As men warm sympathy with those people of other
plAk hasa
of civil liberty that all just powers Of government
derived from the consent Of the governed. When the
noble land which gave yeu birth sent forth her proca
nation Of and freedom as of the
bar We entertained the most earnest wishes for her
tucces and regarded her struggle as the mighty effort
Of gallant people to establish liberty regulated BY Law
In the momentous conflict which ensued, proud
to recognise in the Governor Of Hungary her
people learned and enlightened jurst we'll able
statesman and incorrupble patriot Wherever
dom has needed advocate wherever law ured

yoked resistance and have for the occa
eioni the proud honor Of our common profession to
have presented from our ranks some prominent indiv
dual who has generously and boldly aged In the
vice. and Hungary has furnished the world the
most striking In the brilliant series of lustr,us
amples As early The year ls40 the public history
of Hungary had made acquainted with the distin-
tngushed part which Mr. Kossuth, an attorney he
o s had S.a heard a ss
been arrested and Imprisoned contrary to the national
statutes, for the publication Of manuscript jour
nal In which the debates and transactions Of the
Diet and the public county meetings reported that
he had received official notice that this journal
illegal law had been passed prohibiting all such
publications; that Mr. kossuth replied that he mad
met with such law and should not hold him self
guilty Of its violation until be was furnished With COPY
ef It, when he would Immediately obey IT. that the
Prince Palatne having been informed that the paper
had been established as means Of providing for q de-
pendent mother and sister sent to advise him to ab-
stain from the publication rather than incur the dis
pleasure and Of the by which he
duke felt such anxiety to preserve his helpless family
from ruin that be even put his advice In writing to
them that Mr. kossuth continued the publication; and
that his illegal imprisonment for three years his
devotion to his country laws and the arbitsry power
sxsrced in defiance Of her constitution by opprss
