The Yazoo Democrat., 1852-01-07
GOVERNOR KossUTH. Z

TheSarrival upon our shores Of the
illnstrieus defender Of Hungarian hee-
dom, has produced sensation through
out the country, that speaks inmore
unmistakeable language than tongue or
pen could do, the deep sympathy felt
by our people for nation struggling
to throw Off the manacleS of tyranny.
His arrival at New York was marked
by the most Extraordinary out-burst Of
popular feeling that has ever been wit
messed in our country. Indeed, the
populace seemed to be frantic with en-
thusiasm, SO much so, that he was una
fble to address the vast multitude that
had assembled to welcome HIM to our
shores. Such demonstrations were well
calculated to inspire the distinguished
Magyar with high hopes Of obtaining
something more from the United States,
than mere sympathy. He camo ont
frankly, and freely declared the inten-
ton of his visit to this continent which
was not, as he said, to accept the prop
osition Of our government, togiye him
and his companions in exile an asylum
in this country, but to obtain efficient
aid for down-trodden Hungary. This
declaration has called forth very Sc
we're cenSures from the press generally,
but we think it should be received with
a great degree of allowance. kossuth
had just struck the atmosphere OF lib
erty-he had just landed upon a soil
where civil and religious liberty pre-
walls in the most perfect form-pre-
senting very striking contrast with
his own fallen country; and amid the
exciting scenes. of most enthusiastic
welcome, he may have said more than
strict propfiety would commend. Yet
who among us, Is SO Indifferent to suf-
fering humanity-so deaf to the plead
ing voice of nation, struggling in the
/" holy cause of liberty" as to attempt
to stife in the American bosom, the
heartfelt sympathy that gushes forth
on such an occasion. i5&1
We know that non-interference in
foreign affairs has been the settled po1i-
cy of our government from its infancy,
up to thespreSent time; and it may
truly be said, that to a strict observ-
ance of this policy, we are in a great
degree indebted, for the great national
strength and prosperity with which we
are now blessed. Yet, there is spirit
in our land that rises far above cold
policy. There is an mate
love of liherty-a deep and unbounded
sympathy for the oppressed of every
clime"-an abiding love Of justice pre-
vailing among us, that would tell pow
erfully, if brought to bear upon the
destiny of a nation, battling for human
rights and human freedom. Kossuth
has given to the world, conclusive eyi-
dence that he is man of the highest
order Of intellect-a great statesman
I finished orator, and if he should tray-
7rse our country, may with his soul
string eloquence, arouse our people in
such degree that the government may
ind it absolutely necessary to bend to
heir wishes, and depart to some extent
rom the ordinary construction Of the
lon-interference doctrine, We do not
wish to be understood as favoring any
letion Of our government in the mat
,er If he does not succeed in effecting
his, he will at least find that money
the sinews of war"-will be contribu-
ted with prodigal hand to his noble
cause, and it may be that AnreyTcnn citt-
sess will be found rohereuer Hungary
nag need them most. We say and it
comes warm from our heart--God
speed the deliverance of Hungary!
