The man OF all men, who should have
come to America TO plead for his oppressed

chocrinly ndmit, that he does all this for
poor ilungary's sake, and NOT sclfshy and
sordidly. But O'Connell scorned the help
offered 10y one set of oppressors against an
other. His language, in respect to assistance
from American Shareholders to liberate
Ireland wns: 1--WE do not want blood-stain-
ed money. Those who commit, aud those,
who countenancc, tho crime of slavery, 1 re-
gard rs the enemies of Ireland, aud desire
to have no sympathy or support from them"
And such are equally tue enemies of Hunga-
ry. Every slaveholder is the enemy Of free

On another occasion, O'Connell said: ~

something Irish at my heart, which makes
me syupatize with all those, who are SUI
leflng under oppression, aud forces me 10
give TO universal man the benefit of the ex-
erlions, which are the consequence" And
~ similar strain did this noble man express
| himself when, on another occasion, he said:
~ am the advocate Of civil and religious
liberty all over the globe; and wherever
tyranny exists, am the foe of the tyrant;
wherever oppression shows itscC nun the
enemy Of the system. ] am the friend of
liberty IN every cline, class and color. MY
sympathy with distress is not confined with
III the narrow bound Of my own green s-
land. Not extends itself TO every corner
OF the earth. My heart walks abroad; aud
wherever tie miserable is TO he succored,a and
the slave is to be set free, there my spirit is

Would TO God, thai the lrisbmen in Amer

Then, would slavery soon disappear from
America. The lrishman hus beautiful char

Americans, to fraternize with oppressors

VIII Kossuth succeed? Possibly he will.
Possibly, Hungary will lie able TO throw off
the yoke Of Austria. God grant thnt she
may. And, yet, it will I've a comparatively
worthless success-for, if achieved in tho
| spirit and policy of Kossutb, il will be the
success of patriotism, instead of philanthro-
py.
The world is, yet TO see a philnnthropic
! political revoluton--a revolution, which
shall place its subjects on the side of man
and liberty. Hitherto, tho best political rev.
oluti0ns, instead OF Transforming their SUBJ
| jects into lovers of man, and lovers Of liberty,
have lett them the enemies OF both-and,
even, increasedly such. The American
Revolution is no exception to this remarks
and how lameninble, that il is not. Had
that Revolution been the offspring of phi
lonlhropy, the whole civilized world wonli
probably, ere this, have been won 10 hs
blessed example. But, it had no higher pa
renloge than patriotism :--and America is, at
this day, the mighticst of all hinderances to
the political redemption of the naiions.---
Had the American Revolution originated,
