orrzed in exile for the not only lawful but also dc
fao Governor Of Hungary but claim this declaration
e. o,,aruutee that when succeed TO establish our
;ndeendence and our National Government the United
state win not neglect recognize IL by recognizing
10 enter with US in all those diplomatic and cornmercd
relations which they entertain win every existing Gov
ernrert though have this character OF Legitimacy
which ours had And such guarantee would be OF great
benefit 10 US in struggle because once we have
been already frustrated in expectations the United
States having fingered to recognize our Iuy acneveu
Independence and by this neglect deprived US OF the po
.tiou and of the benefits OF diplomatic agent to Hun

of our Reform Laws Of AZ communicated 10 the unifed
state automatically through the medium of the Austrian
Government together with the notification that we would

the land and on the (all this as say, having been
communicated 10 the United States before our revou
tion with the consent of Austria herself and say con-
fdenty that if the United States had not neglected TO
send diplomatic agent to Hungary, nstructing him TO
recognize our independence as soon as was achieved
and declared we would never have fallen. because it
was only the sorrowful sentiment of forsakenness by
which treason succeeded to spread dependency and
hopelessness through our ranks-whleh made possible
the realization of treason fosered by Russian diplomatic
skill
the United States the slightest danger Of any difficult
~ In the declaration of such principle Is Il not rath
er the same principle upon which your very existence
ia founded and which a constant rule OF your poll
CIV invariably practced toward every little nation of no
importance and no vitality and hrst neglected IN the
saved Europe from all the suferings and dangers to
which il Is now exposed
Second: claim that the United States shall declare
that the right carry commerce with every nation
ready TO accept principle of the law of nations to
which the United States adhere, and viii protect the
commerce of the Citizens Of the United States with
whatever nation Is ready 10 accept IT, whether be IN
state Of revolution against its own government or not
Now again ask, is that principle anything contrary
your interests Is it not rather necessary to the pro-
lection and the security of your commercei How
STA ms
port while il is floating the revolution breaks
out in the respective country and by this very tact your
commerce becomes unlawful It loses the protection of
your Navy and either you must carry your cargo back
and be perhaps ruined by il, or you insist, and be-
comes good prize
Now what prospect is this to you, with hundreds OF
your vessels floating on the sea, when every moment
may bring YOU the idngs of the outbreak OF universal
revolution in Europe which you can with certainty
pec because is necessity which neither your entire
indifference any power OF the world can prevent
And why do ask the declaration of that principle
Do ask it that may get you into entanging alliances
No ask it that you may become really neutral which
you not. You grant the privilege to the Car
of Russia to the iegtnae Emperor of Austria, to the
ngorous usurper of France, to the Pope OF Rome
the King OF Naples, the worst of living men nay even
to the Dey of Tunis and TrpO, to arm vessels in your
country and to prepare armed expeditions here against
their people, and your navy ready TO protect this
OF yours with the oppressors Of the world but
il would try to do the same for hbertys sake If would
vessel at New Orlean 2, TO carry home my HARM
less countrymcn, scattered over the world or If my
friend Mazzn would do the same for Italy, with the
Italian exiles some German patriot with the Germans
by French exied patriot with the French Repubh
cans driven away by Louis Napoleon from their native
land because they have been republicans in a Republic
your navy would not only not protect this our COM
merce but would conscae vessels, and your laws
would lead TO prison for ten years.
Now, lie this neutrality No, 1t Is charter granted TO
despOtism.
Third claim declaration from the United States
that foreign Intervention with the sovereign right of
b.to .tp ia
dispose OF its domestic cOncerns-that foreign in
tervention with this right is violation at the laws of
tons at which you cannot look with Indifference
Now again ask, is there in such declaration any,
thing contrary to your principles your interests -
Is it not rather guarantee to that principle of selfgo
ernment dear to you all but chiefly you gentlemen
Of the South.
Why | claim what WASHINGTON has professed
principle and not a political expediency which may
change while principles are everlastingy true claim
what JEFFERSON has aught-what the Democratic party
has adopted as platform before my coming to the Uni
ted States claim what Gen. Cass the Democratic Sem
ator has introduced to the Senate | claim what the
present President Of the United States himself the elect
OF the Wing party, proclaimed In his last Presidential
Message-what your Secretary OF State, Mr.. Webster
himself belonging to the Wing party proclaimed in his
famous speech the Greek question: and in his mmor
tai letter TO Monsieur Hulsemann who, weeks ago.
met not very friendly reception in Alabama.
Let me read the Resolution Of Gen. CAss:
Resored ~ the Senate and House Of Representatives Of
the United States of Amerca in Congress assembled That
while OF the United States sympathlZe
nations who striving to establish free governments. yet
they recognize the great principle OF the law Of nations
srD a. M 20 eSer 81 and e ns st 70 manage Its own
government at pleasure without the interference of any
other power and they have could they again
without deep concern the violation OF this principle Of
national independence.
Let quote the concerning part Of the Presidential
Message:
The United States forbidden remain Indifferent
Whenever the strorg arm OF foreign power invoked to
repre.s the spirit of freedom in any country,
Ii Il not much, ana yet ana Europe would feel con.
tented with il.
1t is this which humbly ask to be sanctioned by the
sovereign will of your people and the declaration of
your Congress and ii is this to which your Senator Mr.
Clemens pas ionatey oppoed, that out OF his OPP
position to the principle he declared himself to be my
personal memorable enemy.
Now, | am bold 10 asks the principle of State
Rights the principle Of sefgovernment your principle
or not Are you opposed 10 the principle OF foreign
Intervention or not Il the principle Of selfgoyernment
be yours ii you opposed to intervention WELL why
pronounce iii Why not elevate your opinion to the
degree Of your peoples Will
Perhaps because the Gar Of Russia or his satellite
Francis Joseph, would trown at it Well since when
became the people of America so weak TO suppress
what il thinks and feels because could possibly offend
imperial majesties Wel that have yet to learn
that in Republican America the smile or the irown of
crowned despot weighs more than Republican princi..
pies
1t is perhaps because you fear by such declaration,
TO be entangled in war But il is quite the contrary
you VIII by prevent Such declaration oblges
you TO nothing but leaves you free to do anything
points only cut the direction 10 your foreign policy
without imposing upon you any obligation OF how far
TO 20.
And why claim the declaration of this principle
claim because you have departed from IT, You have
not raised your voice for the nyoaby OF the laws OF
nations when Russia has violated by interfering with
Hungary You have not protested against it, though the
Car has declared that he decided not only TO crush
Hungary but the spirit of liberty everywhere because
he considers it 10 be dangerous example and he claims
the right to interfere against every dangerous example
hen had ipfa IN,
Hungary, and Europe would now not lie PROSTATE by
Russian preponderance and ii you would protest now
again Russia would not dare to interfere we would have
N cur struggle iair play and having fair play Hungary and
Europe would be free and your future sure from
the danger OF Intervention with your institutions COM
ing home to you. take my ground explicitly upon the
principle OF the sovereign night OF every people dis
against foreign intervention and claim the United states
