which end he judged twenty years to be sufficient after
which he himself declared to be resolved to espouse any
just cause.
He next alluded at some length to the doctrine Of Mr.
MONROE the incidents Of the Greek struggle &C., and
concluded this branchSf his subject as pillows:
You will excuse me- gentlemen, forlhaying dwet 50
long about that principle Of non-nterfdence with Euro
pean measures but have found this rok thrown IN my
way when spoke Of what humbly request of the United
States have been charged to have he arrogance to
change your existing policy and as, IN inc speech Of
cannot exhaust the whole mightytomplex OF
mission, choose for the present opportunity to develop
my views about that fundamental principe of not caring
about European concerns and having s3wn not theo-
retcay, but practically that it is Mistake to think
that you had, at whatever time such pdcy and hav
ing shown that, should you ever have enttaned such
policy you had abandoned it. and fsfed BY crcum
stances to abandon it, much ut least hope to have
achieved. My humble requests your operative sympa

The speaker then proceeded plead thecause ,f Hun
gary and argue that she entitled tohe sympathy
and active aid of the people of the United Safes and
treating them to express their win tove direction
to the National Government What he dcses should be
done is thus stated:
FIRST That feeling interested in the maintnance of the
laws Of nations acknowledging the light of every
people to dispose of its domestic to be
Of these laws and the interference with this overgn right
to be violation of these laws of nations me people of
the United Statesresoved to respect ant to make
spected these awsdeclares the Russian past nteryen
ton in Hungary to be violation of theseaws, which, if
reiterated would be violation and yould not be
garded nderenty by the people Of the United States
that you therefore invite your Government to act accord
ng and invite Great Britain to unitewith the United
States in this policy.
/ Second That the People of the Untd States re-
solved to maintain its right of commercial intercourse
with the nations of Europe whether they be in state of
revolution against their Governments not; and that,
with the view of approaching he continent of
Europe the people invite the Government to take appro
for the protection of therade of the Me-
derranean and,
Third That the People Of the United states pronounce
opinion in respect the question ondependence of
Hungary as had the honor to state.
What he stated and requested in the preceding part Of
his speech was that the people of the United States would
acknowledge the legitimate character If the Declaration
of Independence Of Hungary and invite their Government
to recognise this independence at thu earliest possible
time.
After setting forth the foregoing propositions, M. Kos
sUTH proceeded to make other suggestions to the
Hungary; first, by of private Subscriptions, and
secondly by loan. The entire speech would make nearly
eight columns of this paper
The following summary notice of NJ. KossUTH's
Speech by one who was present at its delivery
affords good general idea of the speech, It's topics
its conclusions, and its consequences 1t is copied
from the New York Mirror
In his great speech at the Banquet KossUTH has
clearly fully, and frankly defined his position and
explained his " mission 1t was ,oritten speech,
and every word in it well considered It's pro-
gramme is explicit:
The independence of Hungary must be recognised
by our Government, and its Governor acknowledged
the anointed Martyr and Representative of human
liberty throughout the world.
An alliance must be entered into between the
United States and Engandto prevent Russia or any
other despotic Power from interfering in the affairs
Of the contending nations.
And, finally, and chiefly, the sinews Of war must
be furnished without stint, either as a gift or
loan, to aid the coming Continental Revolutions Of
1852
These are, in brief the objects of Kossuths visit
to America He comes not to learn from US the
practical workings Of Repubicanism, but to teach
us our duty 8" a Power on the Earth" towards the
struggling nations Of Europe; and to give us new
exposition of the Constitution, new exgesis of the
principles of Washington, and the Fathers Of the
Republic. He comes to expound to us that Higher
Law Of Humanity" which should oYerrule the OBJ
solete Laws of Nations and revolutionize the Gov.
ernments of the world He comes as recruiting
officer in the great warfare against Despotism
Sublime mission this, and lofty are the words and
aims of the great Apostle who fills it Will he
succeed? Is the scheme practical as it is grand
peaceful in its results as tits glorious in its hopes
Alas! we think not. 1t comprehends too much for
ful6lment this side the millennium. But we are moi
disposed to disturb the Utopian dreams Of these
sanguine sons of Liberty Let them hope on, work
on, and accomplish all the good which the Ruler
of Nations in His infinite mercy holds in store for
the children of men. Let US give them welcome
and home if they will stay with u.s. gQd-speed
and purse, if they 90 back to battle with their
ancient enemies for their ancient rights But let s
