meeting, then, allow him to assure. them that the
people of Hungary had future, (hear, hear,) and
to state confidently that the people of England had
not spent its sympathy upon corpse. (Hear, hear
But they might well ask the motives of this hope.
| He would answer that the first basis of his hope
was the Almighty himself-the God of justice, who
could not grant lasting victory to wickedness.
| (Hear, hear.) History had recorded, to be sure,
the downfall of mighty empires, compared with
which Hungary could scarcely claim a name, but
that downfall precisely therevelation of the eter
nal Justice of God. They fell by their own crimes
nations that died by suicide But that was not the
case of Hungary; it was not the sacrifice of its
own crimes. CHEERS.
| An ambitious woman had in the Palace of Vienna
dream to raise the seat of power of child upon
the ruins of liberty well, she knew that God
would not be with her; but she knew the Gar
would be with her (Hear); and what did they
care for God if they had the Gar with them Hear)
the Gar who boosted that he had the mission
from God to put his foot upon manknd's neck |?
Arrogant mortal Hear. hear.) No, by such a
reason nation might suffer, but not die the God
of justice could not admit this. (Hear) And could
we not already his judgment mark? They said,
Down with Hungary, that the Hapsburgs may
rule if they please )" and already, in the first act
of their sacrilegous plot, they were forced to med
cate the help Of him whose aid gave them bondage
instead of the coveted might. Hear, hear They
longed to be the sun, and to have nations for
moons to turn around them in obedience, and they
themselves become the obedient moon of frail
mortal. A taught Let them rely on their Gar !!
His hour also would come. Hear, hear.) The
millions of Russia could not be doomed to be moth
ing more than the blind instruments of single
mortals despotic whims. (Hear, hear) Humani-
ty had nober destiny than to be footstool to some
families. The destiny of mankind freedom
and the sun of freedom, he confidently hoped,
would also over Russia rise, and in the choir in
which Europe's liberated nations would raise the
song of thanksgiving to God, not even the Rus
slams would fail. (Hear, hear.) So let the house
of Hapsburg trust to his Gar; his (M. Kossuth's)
people to himself they trusted to God. (Hear)
The second anchor of his hope was his untotte-
ring faith in the destiny of humanity, The reali-
zaton of this destiny could have other basis than
the people itself However arrogant might there
fore be those potentates Eho, unlike to the gracious
Queen of these isles, took themselves for the aim
and the people but for mere tool he had the firm
conviction that every States organization per-
verted, perverse, and doomed to be turned up
where single individuals or single classes had the
pretensions to constitute the broad basis of the
ciety Mankind had but one single aim it was
mankind itself; and that aim had but single in
strument-mank again. They were rebels against
God who believed the great pyramid but for the
purpose to exist that they might proudly stand up
on its top, to look down haughtly from the height
One shivering only, and they were turned down to
the dust; there let them lie! (Cheers.) Truly
throwing one unprecedented regard on Europe
remembering too how great and petty tyrants had
paid their people for having been merciful when
they might have been but just (hear, hear,) how
those tyrants had nothing forgotten and nothing
learnt their fate to be bound one with another in
perfect solidarity, it impossible not to feel that
we were on the of days when the greatest
court would be held that the world had ever seem
(Cheers.)
The third anchor of his hope was the history of
his nation His country had seen already many a
storm, and still the Magyar was alive. Hear.
There time when half of Hungary was UNI
der the Turkish dominion, and the other half was
ruled by the Bastas of the Caratas. The horrors
of Arad were not the first bloody leaf in the his
tory of the house of Hapsburg; and still the Hun
garian alive. Hear. The house of Haps-
burg had during three centuries exhausted against
the Hungarans open force we'll as craft; he had
fomented ther discord poisoned their habits and
undermined their national character, robbed them
of their rights The nation had not persisted. Hear
hear. Even three years ago, with the feeble off
spring of mightier times, the Hungarians stood de-
string nothing but peace, not suspecting treachery
and Royal perjury; and so they were attacked
attacked, secluded from the world, forsaken by the
world, without friends, money, or army, or any
thing required to defend a country; and still they
beat back the unj just assailant-bea him down,
that he flew to the foot of the Gar mendicating
his assistance to the impous design, and obtaining
it. but having to pay for it all future honor, and
independence, and dignity. Hear hear. Who
could think that his nation had not future yet.
ICheers while the house of Austria, by the means
it made of for its victories and the use it made
of them, was doomed to certain destruction? Aus
tria by her victory proved she had internal basis
to rest upon. Hungary, by her fall, proved she

of Austria must slide inevitably down that fatal
bank described by Miltons master hand, while the
nations which had been melted against Hungary
would learn that her servitude was their oppression
The Lombard, whom Austria now with iron glove
