WASHINGTON, TUESDAY. Jan. g. 1852.
DEAR SIR. 1t is with the feelings OF graft
tude that | received The generous resolutions
passed 10y the City of Pittsburgh.
| take AZ for the first step 70 arrest the pro-
press of absolutlstn on the Continent Of Europe ,
your example followed by every city nj the
Union, would be sufficient to stop the unjust
and piratlcal interference Of Russia IN the DO
mes,ic affairs of the European nations. Well
aware OF your StlupdtUlt's 4 az APN ffiN'i f''H
sure your kind invitation, bat hope you VIII
excuse me If / cannot hx the precise day on
which will be happy to visit Pittsburgh on my
way to the West Probably Will be able to-
morrow to give you decisive answer. In the
mean time you will allow me to give you some
information about matter which IS IN close
connection with the symp1thles OF flttspufgh
mean the question OF the substantial and for
Hungary.
NV FIRST leading idea Is, that the ways m which
the funds for Hungary is subscribed, are not less
important than the amount of the subscription
One hundred thousand dollars subscribed by one
hundred thousand men, tell more than the same
sum subscribed ly one hundred Wealthy people
IA IS the sympathy OF the masses wnlcH ghcs
importance to the subscriptions aud the sub
scnptions again keep sympathes alive
Nouarc probably aware OF the fact thata Com
,nittec has been formed IN Newly ofk for this
purpose, and that Wcn OF all parties and OF the
highest responsibility have taken the lead III
this movement The working men OF several
manufactures have formed Committees among
themselves. hope this. step wall be followed
IN other cities too and must SAY, as like self
government every where, ieei convinced that
every movement which Is 10 be successful must
develop itself independently m every Wand, an
every city, IN every state, not started nor IN
rected IN the forms OF Capitalization. which Kill
the energies of individual action, bur united IN
aim and returning TO the same center.
| think therefore that the safest and The con
venent way tor getting substantial AID for liun-
gary, Is TO form associations Of The friends Of
HwagGry, every member pledgmc himself tor
the next four months TO pay twenty i've cents
monthly, every nstaiment rs lt Is collected, to
be put to my disposition lor the benefit OF the
restoration of Hungary 20 freedom and lndepend-
ence, and hy this, for the cause OF European
Liberty do not mean 10 exclude SubScuptlsn
OF a large amount accept them with the
greatest gratitude. think also should be LETT To
the choice OF the subscribers 10 pay nj once the
whole amount Tor the four months, ont would
not obhg-e them to DO So m order that even the
poorest might he enabled and might have an OPP
portunity TO express their sympathy m practical
way the share OF every subscriber must be
small, that the masses should not be excluded
II is 10y thelrwcight ont that ald can be afforded
to the cause OF liberty.
But even these committees and associations
In the different places, should Sub-dlVlde their
action. EnCrgeucal men who are friends o the
cause, taking the matter IN their hands. Will
easily organize Lady'S associations, Working
mems associations. Military. associations, asso.
Citations OF the Bench ana Bar, Democratic or
Wing party associations, IN one word they Will
give an organic and cooperative frame 10 the
sympathy OF the masses without mixing up with
any other party Idea. IL Is the only way Of
avoiding every collision arising cut OF local or
party interests or ealouSlcS. In this way the
cause remains as 1t ALWAYS has been, and, | jrnsi
will be, independent from all these struggles
which belong entirely 10 Your domestic States
life, and wall form new ana perhaps test
question, ina, oi foreign policy not dependent
from the now existing parties but recruiting the
members OF the ASSOCIATIONS from all the parties
This is the way IN which the greatest success
as 10 be expected IN the shortest time. ana your
warm sympathy for the cause OF Hungary, which
you, dear SIR, have proved SO efficiently, give
me the hope, nay, the certainty, that yourencrsy
will impau life TO Tins $. heme. and viii develop
