Your speaker is pleased to aliude to what ne

half Of my bleeclng fathe'land" Bacies AMI gen.
men, let me briefly relate a tale 10 you; Lbere was
once Bishop living IN certain paTt OF Europe,
who entered a town, The bells OF which ne expected
TO be ruDg IN his honor, but he was NOT stee.sC oy
their round and called the supeTiors OF the pace
together. TO know the cause o. the onlssron Inc
Chief Magistrate said that they had ninety nine rea
sons for not ringing the bells Inc nIsl reason Ms,
that they had no bells to ring lbaus aIer ne
maPismate vas going on TO narraie his osher rea-
sons but the Bishop sad he was perfectly satls1ed
with their first, and dispensed with all the res.
Now, ladies aud gentlemen, If indeed you expected
any eloquence from me, you VII be clsapqon.ed,
for ninety -nne reasons the first OF which IS th4t
have got no bells" lApslau'e.l Out OF the o'her
reasons, however, with your kind permission, VIII
narrate one or two-the first of which Is, that an
very sick. Indeed, am entirely worn out, ana u

remnant OF nv strength, and that want 70 preserve

verDg 10 you an elaborate address, III the generous
peope of the United States become accustomed 10

of nv personal presepce-tbe grand object OF my
mission vii heve failed, and can accomplish no

heard by FIVE out OF the twenty five millions OF Its

that time) at my disposal IT, then, the people con.
ceive this idea. my faith IN The ultimate opecls OF
my mission will be broken, and therefore appeal
to your Of generosity and justice and say, do
not put condition on me, with which canno!
comply If am forced TO go On in the same course,
which have pursued, my grave wall De dug IN the
pitable shores. Thus | have given fev reasons
Tor not addressing you az length but the principal
one, ard that which most earDesti! beg you 20 ac-
cept, is, that have 10 bells 70 ring
b. When crossed the Allegheny Mountains saw
houses scattered here and there alone IN the Widest
and most des0iste situations, and asked whether
their Inhabitants were secure against the Attacks OF
| robbers The gentlemen who were with me, SAID
| they were perfectly secure .pt slept with open
doors. So too, they would be IN the midst OF forest
in Europe for If one OF the inha ,itans were robbed
while he was asleep, all the others would combine
and raise hue and cry after the robber, until he
was caught, and there and then administer summary
justice TO him on the spot, without further appeal.
What lone man is, that is nation, SINCE II is

care then OF national as well as petty robbers, be-

will gather strength and attack you.
have before taken the liberty to express my views
relative to the formation OF Associations OF the
Friends OF Hungary, and those views have been
spread, through the medium OF the free press anovsr
the land. Let the people carry my views into execu
ton, and assure you that not dollar out of the
funds which you may place In my care. shall be
spent in dinners for me or my suite. My second
reason for forming these associations is, that the
cheers Of the people not rscordedin Washnefo CITY,
but when can show the RECORDS OF these assocla-
uoLs-when they have joined together ana act IN
uDisoIwhen they consist OF hundreds OF thousands,
perhaps millions Of people-when out of the small
drops OF individual sympathy, vast ocean has been
formed, then indeed though heir cheers may not be
weip he'd, their names and influence will be. Loud
and long-coDtnued applause Therefore 1t is that
urge YOU to on In the formation OF Associations
OF the Fiencs of Hungary II there is any place left
in your recolections for remembrance OF me, 1t is
well, but II not REMINDER the cause OF Hungry and
liberty. Remember. oh remember my down-trod-
den country Tremendous applause.
