Pleased from the following eXtracttrOrn kOssuth's
address to the 2, 500 ladies of New York City,
The whole address is one of the most mastery
eloquent and touching appeals that was ever pre-
scented to human ears.
The wonderful erudition Of this extraordna-
ry man, coupled with his command of new Ian
guage inwhch he presents his sublime thoughts,
commands alike our admiration for his talents,
and our homage for his power.
On whatever subject he finds it necessary TO
touch, he is equally at home And we are at a
loss whether to wonder more at his exuberant
supply of words, or the beautiful imagery which
he presents to our eyes.
Such a cause with such pleader, canrot bat
succeed.
Tie eloquent patriot win leave our shores in
the course of next month, TO make use OF the
",aateriaI aid" which he expects he shall have
secured for the release Of his country from the
thraldonI Of the Austrian yoke.
We give but the closing part:
You know that in ancient Rome, after the bat
tie of Gamma, which was won by Hannibal the
victor was afraid to come down TO the walls OF
Rome. The Senate called on the people spon-
taneously to sacrifice all their wealth on the al
tar OF their tariherland, and the ladies' were the
first to do It, Every jewel, every ornament, was
brought forth, so much so that the tribune iudg-
ed 1t necessary to pass law prohibiting the la
dies of Rome 10 wear leWery or any silk dresses
in order that it might not appear that the ladies
Of Rome had not, by their own choice, have done
So. Now we wanted in Hungary no such law
The women Of Hungary brought all they had

tonished 10 see how, in the most wealthy houses
in Hungary, if you were invited to dinner you
would be forced to eat with iron spoons; and
when the wounded and the sick and many Of
them We had, because we fought hard-When the
wounded and sick were not So we'll provided as it
would have been our duty and pleasure to do,
ordered the Ministry and the respective public
tnnctonaries to take care Of them. But the poor
wounded went on suffering, and the Ministry
went on slowly to provide for them When saw
this, one single word to the ladies of Hungary
and in few hours there was provision made for
hundreds Of thousands of sick. Applause from
the gentlemen present. And never met a sim
gle mother who would have withheld her son
from sharing in the battle; but have met many
mothers who ordered and commanded the child

and many brides who urged on the bridegroom
to delay their day of happiness till they would
come back victorious from the battles of father
land.
Thus acted the ladies' Of Hungary That coun-
try deserves to have a future left which the wo-

all these to claim your protecting sympathyfor my

to heaven, in order to regain it, She brought the
dying sigh OF patriot; the kiss of faithful GIRL
