before your own eyes, within ten or fifteen
minutes! At three o'clock precisely the

KossUrn's ELoouENcE.-The following
extract from one of Kossuth's speeches in
England, ia stirring, eloquent, sublime:
will repeat it sgain, and will concen-
,rate all my FREQ sentiments, all the blood
Of my heart and ,he energy Of my mind,
% raise IN 50 high and loud, and solemn,
until the almighty echo Of public opinion,
in repeating il. shall become like thun,
de ing ,rumpe, before the sound Of which
the genius Of human oppression must fall
A nd should this feeble form succumh to the
oneincs Of nv heart to SEQ my father'and
that heart which heats like the chained
lion against his cage--even the grass that
grows upon my grave will crv out 10 Eng
nd and America-Do not forget in your
proud security those who ure oppressed
do not grant charter to the Gar e
trample on huma nity, or to drown the lib.
critics Of Europe in blood Be not the
guara ntees Of such charter, but resist IL
and take tho proud position Of being tbs
Eberators Of the world.
