flew hastily back from the Thesis to the very
frontiers of Hungary. And the Count forgets
that after the despotism of the House OF Haps-
bursh he did accept the ministry of foreign
affairs from the hands OF the Governor, and
took the oath to maintain the Declaration of
independence, and did belong TO the admins
traion of his "highly cultivated friend. B.
Lzemere. who. without the previous ledge
of the Governor, declared openly to the Diet.
that his administration is to be Republican
a Revolutionary one. The Count forgets
even that after the DAYS of Arad and Vilagos
already in exile, he countersgned orders, issued
by the Governor in his official capacity.
What is now the value of those accusations
which are over-ruled by the conduct of the
acts of the Count HIMSELF Why does he
move such technical nicetes to deny in Paris
what he had affirmed in Turkey by his own
signature? Because he is ready to treat with
Austria, whilst Governor kossuth makes no
bargains with the enemies of his country
But, after all. it is of little Importance

c. Batthyany, gives him a precedence by
courtesy. and whether he and his ''highy cult
waited" friend assist him with their ..useful ad-
vice. 1t is not those few names who are to
decide the future of Hungary but the people
at large; and the people OF Hungary grants It's
confidence but to the man whom it trusts
Let the traveller enquire. from the Carpathians,
along the Danube TO the iron gate. and from
the Adriatic through the plains of the Thesis To
the borders of Moldavis, and in every city. and
in every village, and in evry hamlet. he will hear
but one name blcst for the past and cnshrin,d
in the hopes of the future; and that name mix
ed with the prayers of the peasant. told by the
mother to the lisping child-it is not the name
of Count Casimer Batthyany.
Let them ask in the plains or on the noun
tains, or even i'll Crotia and amongst the Ser
vians,-"Whois the rishtful Governor of Hun
gary?"-and the people will unanimously re-
spond-"It is Louis Kossuth." Can Count
c. Batthyany deny this fact! Governor Kos
suth has no personal ambition at all; and the
task to free his country weighs heavily upon
him. He sacrifices to his mission all he has. =
his energies and his health, and the future Of
his family. He does it readily, because hc
knows that lIis country expects her liberation
but through him. Governor kossuth would be
happy if there should be found a better man
than he-morc able to perform his mission
enjoying greater confidence at home and great
er respect abroad. Let such an one appear.
and Governor kossuth will readily give him a
precedence not merely 'by courtesy But in
the meantime we must regret that ambition
and hankering after notoriety has induced the
Count to dsown his past career, and to DESTROY
his position and influence In Ahe futnre.. The
