country which imbues all ouf hearts, and ep- /

die soil on which ne are born, IT not only ap. |
pertains TO our parents and sisters and BROTH I

try all respects. There IS not civilised
and intelligent man.on earth that enjoys en-

], Upon that subject gentlemen, I have no man
G Iner Of doubt. Letus looka little at the po-
9 lsition In which this matter stands. What is
s Hungary? / am not, gentlemen, about to
: fatigue you with a long statistical statement;
/ but wish to say that, as understand the
S matter, and / have taken some pains to look
; at it, Hungary contains sufficient popula-
e ton to constitute nation.
It In point of power, SO far as power depends
n upon population, Hungary possesses as much
# Epower as England proper, or even as the
d Kingdom Of Prussia. Well, then, there is
ie population enough there are people enough
81 Who, then, are they? They are distinct
I. from the Austrians on the west, and the Turks
n Ion the east; and will say in the next place
er that they are an enlighteiied nation. They
II have their history; they have their traditions
n- they are attached to their own Institutions
ar institutions which have existed for more thar
al la thousand years.
lgl Gentlemen, it is remarkable that on til,
e western. coasts of Europe, political light ex

Y ment, and that sun sheds his light on thos
Y who are able to enjoy it. Butin Eastern En-
eT rope, generally speaking, and on the confne
between Eastern Europe and Asia, there j
'a no political sunin the heavens 1t is all Al
