Kossutl's speech at ST. Louis, do not command
the admiration and respect Of all rlght minded
men, both Catholics aud Protcstants,Ihen We con
Tess we Shall have mistaken those qualities which
are worthy Of rcgard.-Free Dem.

States that pronounced the word. 1t is time
to advertise by a few remarks my reverend
