ven to him by the corporation of New York.
1t fills up from six to eight columns, and
was read from a manuscript. 1t seems to
have been mainly On exposition of the doc
trino Of non-interyention, as declared by
Washington-an exposition which differs
widely from that usually received.
That it was wonderfully great speech is
conceded on all hands. The New York Post
goes off in the following strain:
In our columns to-day, will be found one
of the most remarkable speeches ever ad-
dressed to a public audience Oh this CONT
ncnt. Those who heard it, and those who
shall read 1t, must coneede, whatever may be
their views of Governor Kossuth's mission
= AlnsslsS1sstit is ono Of the most extra
ordinary combinations of logical and rlct-
orieal construction ever presented within an
equal volume of words 1t is difficult to
name the orator, among the living or the
dead, in view of all the circumstances, who
has ever displayed wider range of forensic
power.
Though for two successive days laborins
under severe illness, and undergoing during
that and several preceding days, an amount
of mental as well as physical endurance, IN
der which ordinary men wonld have sunk,
he spoke for two full hours, and during that
time held the undivided and fixed attention
Of every person within the range of his voice.
Of his argument, we will not trust our
selves to-day to speak. The spell Of his el-
oquence is still upon all who heard him, and
if he said any thing to which, before hear
! ing him, we were not prepared to acceie we
should feel still less disposed now to trust
ourselves to speak of them while the tones
of his eloquence are yet ringing in cur ears.
If the British House of Lords felt compelled
to adjourn the trial of Warren Hastings I'M
/ till they could become diseirchantcd from the
/ spell in which Sheridan had bound them,
journalist may be pardoned fer lacking re-
pose and equilibrium of Judgment, after lis
teniRg to a two hours speech from the grca-
est Of living orators.
We may say of it, however, tlis-and
none who were present we are sure Will diff
fer with us-that the 'American policy"
as it is termed, of non-intervention, has new
er before received such a thorough and ex-
haustiye analysis. We may add that Its
al
it was ever so correctly understood In put
ting General Washington's position upon
this subject correctly before the country,
Kossuth has more than rcnumerated us for
what we have done for him, and has estab-
lished claim upon our gratitude which has
yet to be balanced.
The speech contained three postulates, as
follows, and it was in defence of them that
it WIS r,nla. zz.z--z
! FIRST, That the United States assert the
sovereign right of every people to dispose of
its own domestic concerns, as to be hereafter
one of the laws of nations. That it declare
: Russian past Intervention in the affairs of
5 Hungary violation of this law, and as
q consequence oppose similar interference
"Second, That the people of the United
] States are resolved to maintain its right Of
commercial intercourse with tAe nations of
Europe, whether they be in a state Of revo-
lCtion against their government or not; and
that with the view of approaching scenes on
the continent of Europe, the people invite
: the government to take appropriate measures
} for the protection of the trade Of the peo-
I plc of the Mediterranean, and
q "THird, That the sympathy of the A.
e merican people in part take the form of u
/ loan to Hungary to aid in the coming strug-
gle "
, e During the speech, Kossuth read letter
> from Mr. Smeed, of Cincinnati, authorizing
him to draw for 81 900 for the cause of Hun
$ gary; and It is stated that Greedy has sub,
scribed the same amount.
1t There was some fun at this dinner, As Bili
4 be seen by the following extract from there

nj As Kossuth took his scat, there was an
D. other explosion of cheers, almost deafeling
ID Many of the Older men, evcn rose from thei
N seats and shouted "The greatest speech cy
a er made" "The man of the age" 1.-THE or
