KOSSUTHS SPEECH
GENTLEMEN: Some generous friends, to
whom my heart is bound with ties Of everlasting gr-
tude for their kindness, support and proecton-msn,
distinguished also by the affection and confidence oil
their fellowcifizens have ntmated 10 that before
leave Boston and Massachusetts those bright stars OF
consolation in the gloomy night Of the poor wandering
exile desired to give some explanation, in FAneuii
Hail. about the present condition Of Europe and tae
character OF our days.
Though outworn by daily exer.ions ard deprived Of
time TO be prepared such distinguished assembly
has right to claim, still did NO. hesitate thankfully
TO accept the invitation the more, because and'. the
most generous manifestations of sympathy could not
fail 10 see that there exists doubt about the probability
of anew struggle for liberty in Europe being very Nigh
and dependency about the chances OF its success
Hence the impression that there being no ned Tor our
activity now there is occasion for either material or
political aid from America and therefore, though there
exists almost universal interest 10 our success aud
lively desire TO countenancc our exertlons SUI toe
active and operative aid may be wei! delayed 10 that
moment when the probabilities OF new struggle be-
come evident by seeing tanew engaged and the banner
OF revolution unfdred on tae istern Con

There is scarcely ANYTHING more noxious to my
which plead there is indeed, nothing more torturing
to nv own mind see clearly as ses you, that the
die Is about to be cast but is already cast see the
war between freedom and oppression not dbsH 70 be
engaged but really engaged see Europe Just In that
condition in which two memorable armies are both
marching already to meet zee that the shock OF their
meeting can neither be avoided delayed 1t must
come tappIause) see ali this not because wish IT,
out because know II see 1t because myself have
taken, and still take considerable part 10 the arrange
ments of the march see il because know what are
the elements of the struggle and VIII Ia the organlza
ton Of these elements know what are the forces We
can dispose OF with certanty-wh certninty, weighed
not by visionary imagination bat with that calm arlth-
metical calculation with which the chief OF an army
looks to the register OF his regiments before ne oilers or
accepts battle.
see all this with the lively feeling of that response
bily which man must feel before letting loose the
fury of war You therefore imagine how torturing
it must be rs my mind 10 know that such decara IN
from the United States the resolutions OF Missachu

every days delay makes it either superfuous useless
You may, imagine, gentlemen, how that skepcism that
doubt may painfully affect my heart
1t may be that this doubt about the probabilities OF
European revolution arises from not being sufficiently
acquainted with ts present condition. therefore sc-
ceped the present opportunity to enter into into s ex

assembly that it desires speak about that subject

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: The gigantic struggle Of
the first French Revolution associated tae n,me of
France much with the cause Of freedom Ia Europe
that all the world got accustomed 10 take France Jr
chat power which has the destiny TO take tae lead la the
struggle for European hberty-for power entrusted By
Providence with the initiation of Revolutions for a
power without the influence OF which no liberal move
ment has any hope on the European Continent
J. from my earliest days never showed this opinion
felt always sympathy with the Angle Saxon char
acter and AngloSaxon institutions, which raised Eng
land notwithstanding Its monarchy and its arstocracy
to position prouder than Rome ever was in It's moro
glorious days appausel and which, tree from )n.r
chical and arstocratical elements here In America lie
at the foundation of political organization upon which
not only the first really true Democratic Republic, also
consolidated and developed in freedom, power and
prosperity, in such short time as to make hylng
wonder to the contemporary age and DOCK lul OF In
structon TO the coming generation. Applause. Hos"
ever, that opinion about the French iniuauve pre-
vailed in Europe and it great misfortune because
you know that France has always yet forsaken the
movement which 10 raised in Europe, and the other ma
tons acting not spontaneously but only following the I'M
pulse which the French have impaired to tnen a'ered
and stopped at once as the french LOGON
stopped. Applause With that opinion OF the french
supremacy, no revolution in Europe could nave den
mite, happy issue.
Freedom never yet was given to nations 40 GIN, but
only as reward, Iapplsuse, bravely earned ~ own
exertions own sacrifices, and toll, Applause aud

speak therefore, out of profound conviction Of my
soul, when say that though the heart OF the poiau
thropis must feel panied at the new hard trials TO
which the French nation 10 and viii yet be exposed by
The nomentary OF Louis Napoleon Bonspartes
ingioEious usurpson still that very fact will prove adj
yantsgeous TO the ultimate Of liberty In Europe
Applause Louis Nspolesns coup 4a:, much ags inst
his will, has smancipated Europe from is reliance upon

tons has succeeded to the initiative of France. spon
