when he descends to particulars which, as IN
the above instance, are somewhat at variance
with his magnificent generalities.
His argument in favor of committing this
country to a policy which would compel Rus
STA to keep within her own dominions, has been
based on the assumption that though able to
cope with Austria sinsle-handed, Hungary was
and is unequal toa war with Austria and Rus
STA combined His plea has derived It's whole
significance from the representation that the
odds against Hungary We're overwhelming 50
long as Russia were permitted to enter the field
on the side of Austria. "Witll fair play" he has
always said we can win the game but If
Russia take part against us our fate is inevl-

Finding that notwithstanding the Buncombe
speeches of his most active friends, and the
Buncombe promises with which those speeches
were fclcitously interlarded, the Government
and people of the United States remain firm in
their determination to resist all "entangllng
alliances" finding that mere eloquence, how
ever grand, is impotent In the presence OF
strong common sense, and that neither flattery
nor rhetoric can prevail against the ''sober Sc

conception of its proper mission-kossUTH has
taken to another tack, and now devotes himself
to pushing round the contribution-box, with the
zeal of a man who feels that no other hope re-
mains to him. But his petition for "materal
| aid'' involves the necessity of showing that
| aid, when rendered, will be ef1ectual, and the
document presented to +" heroes and patriots
at Cincinnati may be taken as having been pre-
