The republic., 1852-01-09

am bound to observe, by expressing the hope that
during the interval of which have spoken, our ii
iustrious guest will consent TO vary in some de
gree, the direction of his efforts, aud by AWAITING
in dignified patience that dchnlive expression o
the national will, which he has Invoked, repel th'
| possible imputauon Of wishing, by an externa
pressure, to impel the Government to premature
and precipitate action. Conscious, as he must be
That the heart of the nation is with him--that We
all desire, and earnestly desire. that his lotiest
| prations may be realized-hs largest hopes be full
| filled; conscious, as he must be- that the impress
| sions which he makes are not transient, but deep,
| serious, and permanent. he may be assured that
the feelings and convictions OF the American pco-
pie will be certain to manifest themselves In due
season. in any and every mode that they themselves
may deem, not only to be just but wise, practical,
3 nd efficient. And if. in this confidence, he shail
consent to give his efforts in some measure, a
new direction, | firmly believe that they will be
rendered far more eifectual than they have been
far more beneficial to the interests of the cause
which lie go deeply in his heart, and which, by ex
ertions almost superhuman, he seeks to advance.
All who are thus privileged will rejoice to listen
TO him when he vndicates his own character and
course from the misrepresentation and calumnies
that SO strangely and unjustly have been hcaped
upon bim; al! will throng and rejoice to listen TO
him when he depicts the tyranny under which his
country has groaned, and describes the heroic cf.
forts Of his countrymcn TO break their chains upon
the heads of their oppressors.
Especially will he be listened to, with the deepest
by which the cause Of his country was destroyed,
and dilates upon the niquity and horrors of the
Cossack invasion-that new conception of the bar
barians OF the North, by which, for a season, his
hopes have been blasted and his country, for sea
son, reduced to state far worse than its former
subjection. In dwelling upon these and similar
topics, he will incur no hazards of disturbing the
unanimity that now prevails, OF erecting diversi-
ty of sentiment and Of action that, j! not fatal to
his hopes, may be greatly disastrous to his cause,
by Withdrawing from it large portion OF the only
MD that, as our Constitution aud laws now stand,
can properly be rendered. When he shall dwell
upon these topics, and enforce them with all these
powers OF pathetic and impressive eoqucnce with
which God has endowed him, the sympathy that
he will excite must and will be intense and uni
versal.
For myself, shall rejoice if in the result the just
and generous indignation of the American people
shall express itself In tones that, reaching the pa
laces Of the autocrat Of Russia and Of his Austrian
va.sa, and wakening them from their false dream
of security, shall sound in their ears as pre-
sage of gathering, and, their terrors may pre-
dict to them, fatal storm. Still more shall we all
rejoice if the united voice OF the American people,
the indignant sympathy Of twenty millions of free
men, conscious of the blessings they enjoy and
anxious that others shall enjoy them also, shall
reach not only the kings and mobiles of Eu-
rope, but the merchants and manufacturers, the
artisans, the mechanics, the farmers and the peas
antry-shall reach the mass OF the people, the
classes that are its strength and glory in every
ton that feels itself oppressed ana desires to be
free and awakening them to a conviction of their
duty and consciousness OF their power, shall in
spire them with the resolution to assist and main
tain the rights which God never meant they should
surrender and, We may humbly trust, now means
they shall recover.
Let the oppressed nations of Europe resolve to be
free, and they are free. They cannot be trodden
down if they choose to rise. There is latent
ergy in every people, that, when properly aroused
and directed. ia not to be repressed and not to be
resisted Let the oppressed nations resolye to be

ancestors were, to stake their fortunes and their
lives upon the issue, and tyranny will cease, ty-
rants vanish, and the hired myrmidons of despot-
ism be scattered withered leaves before the blasts
of autumn. 1t is by this uprising of the nations,
and by this alone, that Hungary and Poland, Ger
many and Italy, will be regenerated and redeem
ed Ii is thus alone that what seem 10 be the pur-
poses OF Almighty wisdom, if we may dare to scan
them, will be fulfilled, and the voice Of God be
heard and acknowledged, reverenced and obeyed,
in the voice of the people.
Ii seems to be universally admitted that great
movement is now in progress upon the continent of
Europe and il is reasonable to believe that Of this
movement kossuth when he shall return will be
the leader and dIrCctor-the aninating and the
spirit. l. il then presumptuous to hope'
Do not the signs OF the time even justify the belief
that the day, the hour is at hand, is rapidly APP

soner in Turkey, the guest of America shall be
by rejoicing and grateful millions, the
Libcrator of Europcs
1t is said by the poet who deplored the fall OF Po
land in verses that can never die-verses that fix
themselves in the memory and sink into the hearts
Of all who read them:
THAT freedom shreked when Kosciusko FELL"
But we dare to hope that. in Europe, freedom, re.
yIying from her long trance and seeming death,
will raise her exultng voice, and spread her tri-
umphant banner, " hen hossuM shall return.
