ton, which l'a' been your atmosphere never
expected % you, dared not to hope it; but
we could no rat follow the luminous track of
your triumphs in the United States, nor refrain
from uniting our sympathies, distant, but new.
ertheless strong, to the waves of ovation which
converged upon you from every side. But thanks
to the torrent OF honors which the magnani-
nous people OF this country have poured upon
your march, as their great rivers roll along their
turbulent waters, you have been brought to rs.
We can ourselves also cast branch Of palm be-
fore your car OF triumph, that true emblem of
the revolution which is making the tour Of the
world.
To express the emotion which we felt at the
news Of your arrival here is impossible. words
are too cold. WOare proud and happy TO be
able to prove to you that wheresoever a French
heart palpitstes, there is always found an ac-
tive and sympathetic aspiration for the success
Of your work
Welcome, then, 10 you, KossUTH!
Welcome, to the liberating hero Of a noble
nation, which ages Of despotism have held in
chains, but could not degraded
Welcome to the incarnation Of true democra-
cy; of true constitutionality!
Wsleouto the founder Of the European
Republic.
A great destiny is opened to you, KossUTH;
the volcanic ground on which Europe is stand
ing, heave8 and bubbles, and every puff from
the heated cabldron beneath, indicates an in
cipient revolution which holds tyrants 10 check,
aud even makes confusion in the ranks Of the
Democracy. But all minds and hearts in sus-
pense fix theit hopes on KossUTH May it be
yours, then, tore assure and re.unite all patri-
OTIS who 60 atray from error, and to conduct
them to that hndefled democracy you so well
understand. is great aud difficult under
taking but if The mission be painful, the sword
Of great man awaits you. The scimeter of
Corvus which long ago made despotism trem-
ble in.HungaS, and which a purchased traitor
let fall from his grasp like coward demands
only your p0 Ferfu and your generous hand to
raise it from the dust and with it, break the
fetters which bind Your gallant couutrymen.
May you ahnihiate that odious conspiracy
which has sworn to axtinguish human thought!
May yours be the immortal honor to plant
on the Carpathian mountains, yet unconscious
Of liberty, that standard which is cmblematiC
Of the UNIVERSAL democracy.
From that sanguinary war about to open and
ia which all people jealaus of their Liberties
have common interest, you will emerge, we
do not doubt, conquerer. Europe is impatient
to shake off the weight which STILES her, and
retards her march 10 the new era of her eman-
cipation.
United BY the most sincere convictions to the
sacred cause yOn sustain. we have faith in its
success, for you know the device: Success IS TO

it! Europe wills it! Welcome and fellowship!
Long live the democratic republican!
