brief stay in England some one hundred and thirty
addresses from cities and associations all full OF the
warmest sympathy for my country's cause. which
you so generously support. That sympathy was
accorded to me notwithstanding my frank decla-
ration that am u republican, and that my coun-
try, restored to independence, can be nothing else
but republic. Now, indeed, this is fact G rati-
Tying to every friend Of progress in the develop

these numerous addresses was the most glorious TO
the people Of England and the most gratifying To
me? ii was that in which heard your Washing

it was the addrcsses-and numerous they were ih-

and that England and the United States, forgetting
the sorrows of the past will indeed, in brothery
love, go hand in hand to support the eternal prin

Yes, indeed, cir, you were right to say that the
Justice of your struggle, which took out of Eng
lands hand a mighty continent, is openly acknow-
lodged, even by the English people itself. The
memory of the glorious day of New Orleans must
of course recall to your mind the memory OF
wrongs against which you go gloriously fought.
Oh let entreat you, bury the hatred OF past ages
in the grave where all the crimes OF the past lie
buried with the mouldering ashes of those who
sinned, and take the glorious opportunity to beneht
the great cause OF humanity.
One thing let me tell you, gentlemen People
and governments are different things in such
country as Great Britain is tits sorrowful enough
that tho people has often to pay for what the gov.
ernment sinned. Let it not be said in history that
ever the people of the United States made u kin
dred people pay for what its government sinned.
And remember that you can nightly react upon
the public opinion Of the people OF Britannia, and
that the people of Britannia can react upon the
course OF ats own government 1t were indeed
great misfortune to the government Of Great
Britain pushed by irritation to side with absolute
cal powers against the oppressed nations about TO

land could only lose by this. And, besides its own
loss, this could perhaps be just the decisive blow
against liberty; whereas, the government OF Eng
land let it be it is, uniting in the direction not
TO allow foreign interference with our struggles on
| the continent, would become almost guaran-
tee of the victory OF those struggles And, accord
ing circumstances stand this would be indeed
the most practical benefit to the noble people OF
Ireland also, because freedom, independence, and
the principles OF natures law, could not fail to ben
eft their own cause, which well merits the SYM
pathy of every just mani and they have also the
sympathy-I know it-of the better half OF Eng
land itself
Hatred is no good counsellor, gentlemen The
wisdom of love is better What people has
suffered more than my poor Hungary has from
Russia? Shall hate the people OF Russia for it,
Oh, never! have but pity and Christian brotherly
love for it. Ii ia the government-it Ia the princi
pie of the government-which makes every drop
of my blood boil, and which must fall if humanity
shall live. We were for centuries in war against
the Turks, and God knows what we have suffered
by it! But past is past. Now we have a common
enemy; thus we have common intercst-a mu-
tual esteem-and love rules where our fathers have
fought.
Gentlemen, how far this supreme duty for your
own interest will allow you to 60 in giving life and
effect to the principle which you generously pro-
claim, that you will in your wisdom decide, re.
naming always the masters OF your action and OF
your fate. And that principle will rest, that prn-
ciple s true, that principle is just, and you are just
because you are free. hope, therefore, TO see you
cordially unite with me once more in the senti-
ment-
