BUND FOE EURoPHs-
The truly fratemL sympathiss with which the
Germans have universally responded to my rounds In
America, have formed new tie. connecting me with
the cause Of German freedom which l have always
regarded as closely concerned, nay, rs identical,
with the freedom of Hungary and Italy. Tho fra
terna union OF these three nations snot only found
ed on the common endeavor after freedom, but is
enforced by the peculiar condition Of affairs and in
dissslubly established by the logical connection of
events. Not that this union excludes other nations
from the common object, not that it indicates the
sutciency Of these three nations to each other as
able TO reject or despise any other friendly hand
which 10 offered to them from whatever quarter
whose works for the same object, the emancipation
OF the European continent from the letters OF despot
lem, in the spirit of national brotherhood, is always
n welcome aly-yett there are nations, who according
to the nature of things, are unable to fight in the
front ranks Of the battle against tyrauts and on the
other hand, there is also nation which is called by
its position to strike the decisive blow against abso
lutism with ill its denominations.
A few days, perhaps only few hours. viii suffice
to determine the fate of France by sudden revolu
ton, without compelling her to conduct long and
bloody war against oppression; and when once she
rouses hersof from the iron sleep in which she has
been sunk, tho electric shock OF freedom will thrill
through al nations, rs heretofore. But Germany,
Hungary and Italy cannot, like France, obtain their
freedom with single blow; here it is not the re-
ward of brief revolution, but of protrac.ed war;
and tho enemy with whom the combat is to be
waged is always the same-it is the peTjured dy
nasty oR the house of Austria, whose yoke, from
Hamburg to Pharus, and from the Rhine to the Red
Tower, weighs down every effort for freedom. So
long this power reSaains unbroken, neither Ger
many, nor Hungary, nor ius.y can be free. The
freedom of zach of these three nations spends up-
on the freedom of the other two; it is only this
common freedom that can guarantees the permanence
and security of each. The common enemy, the me-
cessty of operation, and the natural inutilty of
any isolated attempt present the foundation on
which the league Of Italy, Germany and Hungary
is established, and which completely identifies their
efforts for freedom
From this point of view, can communicate to
you many encouraging facts, of course confning
myself to such as admit OF publicity. American
travellers, and among them one of your German
fellow c0untrymen, who have lately returned from
Hungary, state that the people are prepared to rise
en- mosSe on the first summons. against their OPP
press0rs /; toward the Americans there can be no
reserve in Hungary-eyery one speaks openly in
gard TO he future and the impending conflict /; tits
not secret conspiracy which is here at work, but
general national resolution which is everywhere
shown, and which can scarcely assume a more decd-
ed form by waiting.
In Germany, the idea of republic is daily gain
ing grourd-the necessity of united action is
clearly established and this is the more surprising
inasmuoh by Of the historical progress Of
the nation in separate portions, combined organi
cation appears far difficult here than anywhere
else while in the East, Russia is busy with crisis
in the Turkish Empire and seems likely soon to oc-
cupy it. 30 that, to nay astonishment the opinion
Z which publicly expressed at Boston and Syracuse
is verified, and the political complications present
sarily favorable to the freedom of the people
Wherever we cast our glance, we must come to the
conclusion that tho moment for action is at hand
that it ID time for the friends of Europe in America
to be ready Tor the action which may be imposed
upon them.
If correctly understand the object of the Revolu-
tionary League which meessin congress at Wheeling,
IL has tw0f0d direction-one relating to the inter-
nal action OF the Germans in America-the other,
to their action in regard to foreign affairs In re.
spect to the FIRST, hope that the Germans in Anne.

in their hands, have not thrown their influence un-
,ondionally into the scale, but true to the Phia-
delphs platform, have obtained from their candidate
pledge that he viii carry out the principles which,
powerfully furthefng the cause of popular emanci-
patton IN Europe, also involve the honor and the in
terest of America. If they have not already done
This, permit me to remind them that as the decisive
moment approaches, independent position be-
comes the more important, and that if they uncondi
hOpally pledge themselves il advance to q party
leader, it may be long before the OF German
citizens In the United States will be again in
dtlon to exercise SO great influence at present.
In regard TO the external direction Of the League,
1t is first Of all necessary to create tho means of
action and then to 9 choose the right men," who
shall give these means the proper application. The
material aid to the preparations Tor the conflict
daily becomes moro necessary, as the day for action
draws nearer and nearer. These means may be
summed up in single word-mouey. With sufi-
cient money it is easy to effect decisive interview
tion in the fate of Europe, while with inadequate
means even the greatest energy Of action can pro-
duce only halfway results, which, on account Of
their Intellectual character, will in the long
qure moro victims than would have been necessary
had = vigorous blow been struck Mt the right
time. Coniding In the sympathy Of the Germans
in America, who have SO nobly aud effectively taken
up the cause Of Hungary, upon my departure from
America, | entrusted the general agency of the
Hungarian loan to the German committee in Phila-
delphia and the instructions which left with my
friend DR.. Tudeman, in that city, will show that IL
was not my intention to apply the avails Of that
lean exclusively to my own country, but in the
spirit Of brotherhood alliance between the three
nations am ready to place portion of means Mt the
disposal OF the Revolution League in America, for
the special purpose of the emancipation Of Germany.
Taking IL for granted that it is more easy to carry
on and extend . movement than to start new one,
as SO much time would be required even for the
material preparations necessary in that case, that
perhaps oven the most brilliant results would arrive
TOO late, caBnet but express the conviction that if
the German American League would efectualy and
officially promote the objects Of the committee for
the Hung Loan the most important results for
the special needs of Germany would be sooner
realized in this way than by striking out any new
methods 4 am also persuaded that this mode of
action will make the most rapid progress also among
those American citizens who are of German orr
gin, and the more, it gives the greatest chance
tor individual immunity from temporary sacrifices
and thus much is certain, that whatever may be
the private views of individuals in regard to the final
issue Of the European popular movement, overy one
must know that conflict is inevitable, and that the
moment the fight commences, the Hungarian scrip
which is in circulation will receive market value,
so that il will be possible for those who may find it
convenient to wait tho issue OF tho war to realize
the value of their stock Should be so happy rs
to obtain the appreciation of tho congress for these
views, have to request that revolutions may be
passed to that effect, and that they may receive the
support of the official orgsn Of the League Mean
time, hope that, even if my views should not be
shared by the congress- you will not forget that The
fate Of my fatherlsnd is identical with that of Ger
many, AID that you will show to the world, with the
peculiar German consistency that the seed which /
have sown in America, and committed to tho trusty
charge of the Germans has not persisted in my me-
cessary absence, but under your hands has begun al
ready to put forth shoots.
With regard to the choice Of the right men to
manage the means that are to be procured, have
