speeches were made and much enthusiasm
greeted him at every step in his journey. At
Palmer and West Brook6eld, on the way to
Worcester, short addresses were made. At
Worcester, Kossuth had brilliant reception.
He arrived in that city at o'clock, on Monday
afternoon, 18th inst. The streets were deco.

of immense 'multitudes rent the air. Kossuth.
in reply to brief address of Mayor Brown,
made a most eloquent and affecting speech.
Wegive few extracts
Let me not speak, gentlemen. 1t is not pos
sible for any eloquence to equal the rising maj
'esty of the peoples spirit. Well, now, that is
an ocean before me- Sometimes God stirs the
waves; then no man can dominate over them.
But when God stretches his hand in peace over
the waves, then the slightest breeze may be
heard. See how the waves move now.
conference.-the as the Holy Scriptures
are the revelations of religions truths, teaching
men how to attain eternal bliss, SO history is
the revelation of eternal wisdom instructing ma
lions how TO be happy, and immortal on earth.
The rising and declne-the standing and the
fall of nations are equally instructive to the
contemplaiive mind. Unaccountable changes
may alter on sudden the condition of individ-
uals, but in the life of nations there is always
a logical confederation of cause and effect
therefore, history is the book of life.
like 10 look into the book of life; to me it
is an enchanted mirror, wherein the past as
sumes the shape of future events. The hsto-
ry of old Massachusetts is full of instruction to
those who know how to read unwritten philos-
ophy in written facts. Besides, to me it is of
deep interest, because from the very time that
the colonial system was adopted by Great Brit
ain, to secure the monopoly of the American
trade, and TO prevent the rising of the colonies
to strengthen independence, down to Washing
toms misfortunes and even victories; from
James Otis, pleading with word of fame the
rights of America before the Supreme Court of
Massachusetts,, breathing into the nation the
breath of life, out of which American indie
pendence was born, down to the Declaration of
Independence, first moved by son of Massa-
chusetts, there are snch striking resembances
between your country's history and that of
mine, that in rejecting upon them, often be-

sets. But then when the kind cheers of your
generous hearted people ronse me out of my
contemplative reveries, and looking around me
| see your prosperity, sadness of nameless
woe comes over my mind because that very
prosperity reminds me that am not at home.
The home of my fathers-the home of my
heart-the home of my affections and of my
cares, is in the most striking contrast with the
prosperity | see here. And whence this
striking contrast in the results, when there eA-
isis such striking identity in the antecedents

Well, the cause which accounts for the
