him to his quarters and when the time that the
unless there constitutional difficulty in the way the
Senator ought to have voted for paying the money.
Mr. CASS. The Senator is mistaken in point of fact
Mr.. JONES If he had constitutional difficulties bow
to them.
Mr.. CAss. did not receive Kossuth
Mr.. JONES. Was not the Senator member Of the
| committeey
Mr.. CAsS. was but was not present at the re-
ception of Kossuth.
Mr.. JONES. Then the Senator was deficient in per-
forming his duty.
Mr. CASS The resolution did not require me to be
there 1t volunteer act part Of the other
gentlemen Of the committee Twas busy at the time.
Mr.. JONES. In the debate on this question it was
stated by member Of the committee that they had
ceived him. He did not say whether all the committee
present. but the Senator from New York stated dis
tnoty to the Senate that the committee had received
Kossuth and conveyed him Browns Hotel there to be
entertained do not know whether all the committee
were present or not, and do not care.
Mr. SEWARD. 1t is due to the honorable and distin.
guished Senator from Michigan that should state that
the arrangements for the reception of Kossuth made
by the chairman Of the committee r SHIELDs) my
self end that the honorable and distinguished Senator
from Michigan did not attend in making the arrange
ments nor in receiving Kossuh, in taking leave of
him. These duties were performed by us, he being
cused ffem attending on account Of his age dignity and
Mr.. JONES, Of Tennessee Mr. President, it just re-
solves itself into this The Senator from Michigan the
committee, from his age dignity and position was ex-
cused from attending by the others It that he
not there did not know it; and if the Senator had
not manifested some feeling than thought my re-
marks called for, I should not have responded am
sorry he was not present that occasion. hope he
will not be absent on some other occasions hereafter.
alluded to the phrase "deep concern used in his
luton, and gave it all the explanation which he pos
sbly claim under his speech; and stated distinctly that
my objection to the term its equyoca import that it
was left to the construction Of every gentleman accord
ing to his within caprice to interpret it he pleased
That was my objection. Nothing more Now does the
Senator attempt to give any better explanation 1t stands
just where he first left it, But the Senator quotes from
the speech Of Lord Pamerston to prove that England
ncdes with on this great question Why, does not
that distinguished Senator know that the very opinions
and principles which proclaimed by Lord Palmer
ston cost him his seat and that dynasty, new
set of principles has been avowed the policy of the
Government Of England Why, it is manifest to all that
England does not to take the position to which some
have assigned her Then, where we left To fight
the battles solitary and alone England can have no re-
ations of alliance with us in such cause We can an
tcpate no participation in it from the Government of
England
The Senator says that do him injustice when talk
about sympathy being delayed so long Why, am sure
he could not have listened to my speech applied not
single, solitary remark Of that to hin. My remarks
on that subject were applied alone to ae Senator from
very unaccustomed conflicts Of this sort particularly
with distinguished the Senator from Michigan

know that back it. / know very well that that
Senator has offered the resolution to which he refers.
have read it, and have read his speech the subject
and am very happy that the Senator has given an
opportunity to speak Of that resolution 1t not d
reced In favor of Hungary against Russia but simply
resolution Of inquiry to know whether It not proper
and expedent to discontinue diplomatic relations with
Austria Then we heard very little of that boundess SYM
patty that seems to fill and heave the bosoms of Senator'S
Now he inveighs strongly against Austria and he did at
that time hat that after the ss-ais. hAd ere The
time for the struggle had passed away When the mighty
struggle was going on; while Hungary bleeding at
every pore when she oppressed in all her borders
and when the hordes were upon her, why not that
voice heard then? To afterwards and offer
luton to discontinue diplomatic relations with Austria
was very poor consolation to Hungary, when she had
fought and bed and then in chains and suffering If
sympathy ayais any thing il is when suffering. If
succor is to be rendered let it when ghting
and not when we have fallen. That is the point make
did not say one word on that subject in relation TO the
Senator from Michigan. My remarks in relation to it
W.
there several why should adopt his
resolution and the protest which contains What
they will not detain the Senate by rectng them all
wish had time to investigate them very briefly He
says he wants protest record Well suppose you
put II record, what does it amount to- What is
there of any protest unless you to enforce it? Why
do you protest 1t is in order that you may have the
legal remedies the remedies that power may

and at the time declaration that II does not amount
to any thing that he does not to fight il out II
you do not to stand up it, you had better say
nothing about it, and put il upon record to stand

and despised by all the nations Of the EARTH stand
nockey record to teach that the days Of de-
generacy have commenced Why put there unless you
mean TO maintain and defend it II you to say it,
and to stand to II, then win hear you.
The Senator wishes the invioaby Of the law OF
nations sustained. He wishes to make proclamation
suppose to all the ends Of the EARTH and that Is to be the
invioabty Of the law of nations Well IL that Senator,
this Senate this Government has the power make
such proclamation and IL would be regarded and obeyed
by other nations might be willing to agree to IL but
where do learn that edict proclamation protest.
issuing from this Government great mighty and power
full as IL is and hope il may continue to be- would
establish the inviolabilty Of the law Of nstionss
But the Senator says that il does other good it
