not for this country or for that, but for the
world. Such was the hope which inspired
him who came 10 save not Judea, or Pales-
tine, not Greece or Rome, but who came to
save the world. (Applause) This is the
providenlial man whom we hail here in the
name Of religion. Let us not Hatter our.
selves that we have got out Of the old world
| altogether, into what we call the new world
There is but one world-thank God-the old
The new world. We have not stolen out Of
port with our ship to leave her TO founder
and 60 the bottom. No the world is final.
y 10 come under the only principles which
have their foundation in the laws Of nature
and on christianity reduced TO civil law.-
That is the religion and politics OF the world
and religion in the name of one Of her hum
blest servants, here adopts this as her tone
and gives her welcome TO Kossu,h. +
Kossulh hereupon rose and shook hands
with The Rev. Mr.. Bellows, and three cheers
were given by the assenblage.
And at the Press dinner in the same city
the well-known divine, Henry Ward Beecher,
in responding to the toast of civil and religious
liberty, quite out-did himself We give an
extract -
After some preliminary remarks, he asked,
what is the use of our talking so much of our
glorious liberty? If civil aud religious lib.
erly is a privilege, it carries with II duty
likewise. We lave duties to Perform
Just as we are strong, SO should we protect
the weak-just as we are talented we owe
a debt TO those who are not; and there are
things which ought 10 carry this home to US.
A great deal has been said about intervention.
Now, wha the doctrines OF the assemblage
were he did not know but we do intervene
with foreign nations by example by our lit
erature, and by our diplomacy. 1t is not
possible for us TO express an opinion that has
not more or less influence and that is not a
testimony TO the world. But this is not all
there are revolutionary committees in this
country which have their agents scattered
throughout the world ; there is Bible So
clety, which is one of the most revolutionary
committees in the WORLD and the mao who
scaters the Bible is preparing every step he
takes, the people for civil and religious lib
erty, just as much as the sun produces fruit
from the seed. Now, having interviewed
thus far, shall we cowardly talk of non-inter-
vention? 1t will not do to say that as long
as you are safe you will fight, but when you
are not safe you will fall back on the princ-
pie of on-intervention. After having sown
the harvest, will you when the harvest is
ripe, throw down the sickle and refuse 10
reaplt? For his own part he had no sym.
palhy with those who believed that our great
duty was to talk bravey, but 10 take care not
TO DO anything. (Laughter.) On the con-
irary, he held the doctrine which is said to
he the legacy Of Washington, as not only a
doctrine which smiles Christianity in the
face, but one on which no man and no GOV
errment can act without going contrariy 10
the education which he received from The
cradle. What does the Bible say? 'Ye
that are strong take care Of the weak Fam
lilies are educated that the strong shall take
care of the weak, and the sanction Of heaven
and hell Is brought 10 bear upon it,
(Laughter.) Now, we ask the government
to do what is taught by the government and
by Gods word. We ask the government
not to say that we are bound only to take
care of ourselves, and let the rest OF the world
go around as il we had nothing to do with
it. 1t would be mean in an individual so to
act, and atroclonsly mean in a nation. The
weak must be protected by the strong
1
ieve in it. How! believe in telling Rus
STA that thus far she shall go, and no further
and If that is not enough, would give that
powera government protest; and if that is
not enough, | would give something eise.-
Every nation that is protected by the law OF
nations should see that that law is respected
and il is the duty of our country 10 say that
this law shall be respected. And it seems
that if all history was ransacked, no better
time than the present could be found to
bring our doctrines TOT practical test. And
believe that Hungary is the land, and Louis
Kossuth is the man. Hungary, standing as
she does, between oriental Europe and orr
entail Asia, seems above all other countries,
TO be The place from which liberty should be
given TO the world. God has given her u
sound family, social purity, deep religious
morality, and political Institutions to educate
the people. for self,governnent. (Applause.)
Never was nation SO prepared Tor liberty
The people OF France and Italy have yet to
he educated, but Hungary is already educat-
ed, and ready for liberty. 1t becomes mat
ter of great interest who shall guide the rev.
olutons about 10 take place in the Old
World. Shall we have Danton or n Ro-
bespieire? Italy and France and Germany
have wrongs that are to be avenged. We
shall see Europe in state of anarchy and
blood. Oh, if there was man, who, while
he had the confidence of his nation, had the
fear of God, and believed in republcanism,
blessed be God such man has made his ap-
pearance. That man is Louis Kossuth. =
Tremendous cheerng.) Ii is true, and the
Governor wears revolutionary Curb: but of
all men, pronounce Kossuth a conserva-
tive raised up by God to preserve religion, the
purity of families and government on just
foundation. (Renewed npplause.) He is
second Moses, who will lead the people
by laws and by institutions into the promised
land of liberty. (Cheers.)
The eloquence inspired by Kossuth's visit to
our country, would undoubtedly make vol
ume of as rich specimens of American elo-
quence as have ever been given to the public
1t would furnish our youth with eloquent ex-
tracts enough for their expanding declanlatory
genius for the next half century! The speech
es of kossuth himself, published collectively,
would make choice literary reading, and we
hope the rumor is true, that he designs pub
fishing them in this manner.
