Guilty could not expect here to feel the enthusiasm OF
middle age, anything OF the ardor OF youth Age
chs the feelings and renders the heart cold, but have
still feeling enough left to say to the hero OF the old
world Welcome to the Liberty of the new. | say
to the hero of Hungarian Liberty, Welcome TO the peace
and happiness of our Western home And can pray
that in Hungary he may yet enjoy the same blessing
his fields parakng Of the fruit OF his own acres,
and reapng the reward OF his patriotic labors How
this happen my dim eyes cannot discover but there
is God in heaven, who win break the rod Of the op
pressor and let the oppressed so free.
Independent of all considerations of Hungary re.

guest has been brought shores and believe that

passed om one free State another like the lightning,
to arouse every free heart to the dangers OF Liberty
throughout the world. What have we witnessed Six
months ago. France stood in the glory OF her Liberty
