welcomed the approach of European popular
liberty with enth Isiastie JOY, and all nus ne
long nothing could diminish in HIM the nope
with which he looked forward to the future u
Europe. And, ladies and gentlemen, what oc-
casion is this which is presented TO US. oui
illustrious friend comes among us as lle mar
GER of the future. Republeansm hrst came
into being among colonies. The colonies o.
,nonarchical Greece first instituted repuohcah-
ism. Men went of, leaving behind them mon
orchieal and aristocratical systems, and planting
colonies. and then, when away from the domes-
tic influence of aristocracy and monarchy, they
set themselves up as free. 1t was thus found
out by the light of nature that nations were
able to govern themselves; and that sell-SoF-
ernment, after it became known in the mother
country, one State after another IN old Greece
itself, assumed the form Of republican govern
ment This was done in narrow-a conpar-
atively narrow part of the earth. The day
came, however, when colonies should be planted
wherever the ocean extended its waters. Eng
land, France, and Spain sent out colonlsts, and
now what do we see? We see that all the way
from the St Lawrence to the Terra-del fuego-
ELL the way from New England to the waters OF
the Oregon, the standard of repubicanism is
uplifted in triumph. The French, English,
Spauiard, every one in America, is republican
We ourselves, ceasing to trace our origin from
q single land, receive among us the republicans

stripes, the tricolor of America-passed be-
tween the isles of Greece-thcn it was that the
waves Of the Egean sea clopPed their hands
with joy-then the sun looked out with splendoT
on the Parthenon-then the bees. as they gath
er honey on Mount Hymettus, found the flowers
possessed of unwonted fragrance-then the
MUSES., as they stood discon solate on Mount
Cytheron, rose up, and pointing to the field OF
Platna, exclaimed, with a voice to be heard
throughout the worId-'Aristides, too, was in
exile. Look at the field Of Plat@a; the field OF
Platsea keeps the record Of what returning
exile may do [Applause.l We look TO the
future, then, with hope. We are firm in our
belief that Hungary viii emerge from the lurid
clouds which now oyerhaug her. We are conf
dent that we may yet welcome her in the clear
ght of the morning, shining as the star Of the
East, shining on the forehead of the morning
sky, the brightest star of the armament, the day
star of republican liberty. [Great applause ]
