Now, sir, when Kossuth arrived in New York he was
met there by Doctor somebody-Hobgoblin or a name
OF similar characerwho gave him the following
surances:
"For part, and ask be responsible for what
say although honestly believe that speak the sentiments
OF the great mass Of fellow counymen especially the
sentiments Of those three and half millions Of aioar
bodied Young 81 America aps hare designated
for military pupossI believe speak the sentiments Of this
great mas Of intelligent citizen soldiers are not merely
household troops but who have recently had opportu-
nifty OF demonstrating before the world what they make
Of arms in the enemy counyI speak their sentiments sir
when say that the KosyuA doctrine Of armed
'psw the doctrine and sentiments of America inter
venfoa for as, noa Intervention for all"
What does Kossuth say in reply to thss Why, he
says:
The reception have already experienced relieves from
much anxiety VI the doetine of noinerven is under
stood, state then the generous efficient Of the
United States to my cotrys suffering independence is
gained"
Let us pause moment at this period. We see that
Eossuh stated in England that the object of his mission
~ this country was to endeavor to unite England and
America upon new principle of n-nteryenton When
he arrived here he told that three millions of armed
young men were prepared to aid him; that armed nom
9teryenton" the doctrine of America and he then
id that the great object of his mission than
half accomplished.
III propose to refer to some of the speeches which
ne made previous to the Offering of my resolution pro-
pose to show that they contained phrases which autho
sed the resolutions Recollec that it has policy
from the very foundation of the Government to stan at
home and attend 10 uarsto our ocn bnessand
to let the other nations of the earth do likewise Recol-
lec too that have adopted statute which makes
almost reasonable for any to aid in setting foot
any expedition against any country with which we
peace Now, hear what Kossuh says Of his motive in
being here at this time:
The motive citizens is that your generousact of my lbe
ration has raised the conviction throughout the world that this
act of yours is but the manifestation of your resou
ton to throw your weight into the balance where the fate of
the European continent is to be weighed You have the
conviction throughout the world that by my liberation you
willing say Ye oppressed nations of old Europes
nent be Of good cheer the giant of America stretches
hand to future So your interpreted throughout
the world"
He goes on to say:
at is hence that my liberation was chsered from Speden
doon to Portugal ray of hope. 1t is hence that
those nations which desire my in Europe now
have unanimously told Hasten great
and powerful people of the United States and bring
its brothery aid the Of your country SO intimately
connected with European liberty"
Again, he says
And taking my ground this principle Of union which
find lawfully existing established constitutional fact is
not to party but to the united people of the United States
that confidently VIII address my humble requests aid and
protection to oppressed humanity will conscentiously
spect your laws, but within the limits of your win
every honest exerton to gain yoar operative sympathy and
your financial material and political aid for my countrys
freedom and independence and the realization of these
hopes which generosity has raised in and my
Piles breasts the breasts of Europe oppressed ma
TONS And therefore, thirdly, beg leave frankly state
that my my atherand the full oyent of
that act of declaration of Independence which being the only
rghtful existing public law of my nation
How is it possible for his fatheand to- be restored with
out war? How could possibly aid financially mate
rally, and politically, without bringing war?
refer to these speeches to show that my resolutions
had some foundation in fact But in addition all this
we have another most extraordinary development. Kos
suth was invited to review the militia of New York he
was invited to appear before the militia of the country
with all the trappings of military gewgawism doubt
of IN
same sentiments that he expressed at the other meetings
Here is what he says in reference to that invitation
g am told that will have the high honor review your
patriotic militia on, God ho9 my heart hrobs the idea
this gallant army enlisted the side Of freedom against
Po the world would be free and the sayiours of hui

Now ask if there not some reason for the resou-
tons which ofereds ask the House look at this
with his powerful eoquence with his great ingenui
y with his greater character coming he does from the
fields where ibertys battles fought and and
lost ask the House to view him in his speeches and in
his POSITIONS with all its candor and say if there
not some grounds of apprehension that those nammato
ry harangues would ncite the young and the ambitious
into expedition How long would it take New York,
with its immense wealth and shipping resources sup
ply and fit out expedition 1t is known that New York

petition.
But pass the general positions which he assumes
in of his other speeches Was it generous in this
manwas ii returning hospitality in proper
ner to come here and so Immediately, so directly,
blushingy, unhesatingly direct inter-
ference in our public and private concens What does
he say Not content with receiving the homage Of the
people in their popular assemblies, he assas Congress-
and advises to recall our Minister from Vennai What
height of impudence is that He tells US that we can
spare Mr.. Hulsemann. Here is his language:
No your minister Vienna, hog you combine the
letting him stay there pi your opinion Of The Of Hungary
