The Plymouth pilot. (Plymouth, Marshall County, Ind.) 1851-1852, 1851-12-24


and yet ''has no country, no home! Yet
Yet such is the situation of the great,
the good, the wise man Louis kossuth.
AS soon as he arrives. that we may of
once know what he is going TO do-for
we know such man connot remain idle
or sink into obscurty-he tells US. that
his object is 10 raise means 10 enable him
10 regain home ard a country, and begs
us 20 do nothing that shall prejudice
him Or bis cause. His speeches tell his
mission, his desires. his intended policy
all open, fair and honorable What
then? He comes here as the nations
guest, and that nation refuses 10 receive
him. Yes within the very walls of that
Congress that commissioned the execu-
tive to send for him. such men as SEN
ntor Hale oppose his public reception by
the nation. What we too. fear the
young despot Of Austria? why every free
mans heart should call aloud for the
government to break Off all diplomatic
intercourse with the protectors of the
woman whipper-and the murderer OF
innocent children, as did Haynau under
The sanction of the Emperor of Austria.
At length the stern whitening language
of Ca8s rings out upon the ears Of the
Senate. aud by the influence Of a few
such men, feeble welcome is extended
to Louis Kossuth.
They should have moved in time with
the puisations of the hearts of the people
Of this vast republic, for millions of vol
ces were raised 20 welcome Kossuth. and
tones Of thunder should have echoed from
the ca pital 10 tell the world that tyrany
finds no fear or sympathy here, while the
oppressed Of every land will be received
with open arms and words of love.
And then the press-the three leading
organs at the seat Of government, on the
side Of the opposition. cry out against
Kossuth! Away with such demagogrcS,
and selfish paltry towards! Wha. has
the intervention police Of this ma
tion heretofore, 10 do with the matter?
while we were young, feeble, III debt,
and hardly organized in our new trial OF
free government, it was the proper
course; but after we have increased our
population 10000 O0O.j accumulated
inexnaustible resources, become cement
ed by seventy-fve jears of fratcrnal as
sociations, what signifies the argument,
when rights are trampled on. Would a
strong man see another strike feeble
woman and stand mutely BY? Another
feeble woman might, but the man could
not. So with us. France was old and
in the zenith Of her power. And altho

kossuth is now as Washington would
have been without the aid Of France -
We asked the aid of France. Kossutt
now asks the aid of our nation. He on

are, ready to embark their lives and for

Of "nOn-intervention" in a case like thi
