felt the necessity to stimulate 1t by law, as you
really did.
And one thirg have to mention yet This re-
placing of the Latin language by the Hungarian was
Lot work Of our revolution, It was done before
step by step by-and-by from 1871. When we carried
in ls4s our democratic reforms, and gave polIh-
cal, social, civil and full religious freedom 10 the
whole people. without distinction Of religion or
tongue considering that unhappy excitement OF the
question of languages prevailing through Europe IN

OF every tongue and nationality aifOrdlng 10 all

the moral, religious and scientific development IN
churches and III schools. Nay, our revolution ex-
tened this regard even 10 the political developments
OF every tongue, sancuOniDg the free use OF every
tongue IN the municipalities ana communal cOrpo-
ratlOIs well as the administration OF justice itself
The PRONUNCIATION of the laws in every tongue, the
right to petition and to claim justice IN whatever
tongue, the duty OF the Government to answer ac'
cOIdngly-al this was granted, and thus far more
done IN that respect also than whatever osne' ia
ton ever accorded TO the claims OF tongues Dy
far more than the United States ever did though
there IS no country III the world where so many eli
ferent languages are spoken as here.
It's, therefore, the most caumniOus misTepresen
tation to say that the Hungarians struggled for the
dominion OF their own race. No we struggled lot
civil, political, social and religious freedom, COM
mon to all, against Austrian despotlsm. We strug-
gled for the great principle OF self government against
Capitalization and, because Capitalization, abSo-
lutism. Yes Capitalization is absoutlsm 1t IS IN
consistent with constitutional rights Austria mas

never the slightest intention 10 grant constitutional
life TO the nations OF Europe. l Will prove II on
another occasion. IL hates Constitutions as nell
hates the salvation of human souls. But the friends
OF the Hapsburgs say II has granted Constitution
IN March, lo49. Well where is that constitution

SchwaIzenburg does. Metemch encrOached upon
the constitutional rights of Hungary, Iransylvanla,
Croatia, and Slavonia. SchwarZenberg has abolished
them. and the young Nero, Francs Joseph, melled
all nations together in a common bondage where the
promised equality Of nationaes Is carried out InosI
literally, to be sure, because they are all equally OPP
pressed and all are equally ruled by aosoiu'istcai

that ilusoIy Constitution withdrawn Because IL

cannot exhaust this vast topic IN one speech, so

my nations ruling principle, even In respect 10 the
claims of the natonalities of languages and that
is,-we will have Republican institutions founded
on universal suffrage and the majority OF the soVe-
reign people shall rule, in every respect, IN the VII
lage IN the city IN the country IN the congress anu
Governmental all and everything What to the
public concerns OF the village, OF the city, OF the

which we live and are ready to die. his is the
cause for which humbly request the protecting aid
