Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1852-01-31


Oh, had | possessed arms to arm the
hundred thousand of volunteers, eager to
fight for freedom aud iatherland, not even
the surrender of Gorgey would have broken
our brave Hungary. But we were secluded
from the world. Races. then hostile to MS,
stood between MS and the Adraic, and the
hesitation of Turkey admitted the Danube
To he locked up from us. Where hostile
rnces then stood, friends now stand and If
your generous encouragement helps only n
little on the way, friendly resolutions will he
found where waveriug hesitation ruled.
Gentlemen, ], in my condition, nnl induced
10 value every thing, even money, by the
muskets aud swords il will procure. That
is my test as the camel is to the Arab. Well,
there are III Pennsy lvnna, probably, 100000
honesteads. II only half of the families in
hobiting them would sacrifice one dollar
each, that alonc would give from fifty to
seventy-fivc thousand inuskets.
Generous people of America help me to
this legitimate commerce-ior am told that
it is lawful to buy arms here-and he assured

Gentlemen, utn not an idle man here he

in other quarters, not eycn during my capiiv- |
iiy. never speak word in vain when
speak of facts aud of hopes. The man who .
controlled the finances of Hungary created
armies out of nothing, and led the people
OF Hungary, in the glorious contest, may
perhaps, claim so much credit MS not TO he,
taken for un untricd thcorst, but for some
thing OF II practical man.
And one thing even may I've permitted
TO say, aud that is, that my whole life uItesls,

my prospects, and in my hopes. r
The following, communicated from the o
Secretary of Kossuth to ;Iie Public, through 9
he Pittsburgh Papers, is equally explicit. q
MATERIAL AID.
ASSOCIATION OF THE FRIENDS OF HUNGARY.
In the war for Hungarian independence, A,
Governor kossuth had 100000 volunteers Ii
ipon his lists, and not 10000 muskets to W
give them. =
With 100000 muskets more, notwiihstand-
ng Gorgeys treachery, and Russian inter-
eDtion, the Hungarian cause would proba-
'ly still have triumphed.
There are more willing volunteers, now
n llungury-rnccs then hostile, are now
-iendly, channels of communication then
nexplored are now open.
But TO arm these volunteers and transport
ne armament required, involves heavy SCI
Expenditure, such as local or private con- W
flbutions cannot meet; aud which can only tn
70 supplied from the generous sympathy nj
nd through the collective small subscrip-
ions gathered in the giant hand of the =.
,eople.
1t is estimated that of 25,0O0,000 inhabit- re
ng the territory of the Union, Gov, Kossuth
aunot come in contact with more than h
100000 of the population, in the cities n
which he visits during his rapid passage--
hurried by the aspect of events III the old
world. n
lie has been anxious to devise plan by d
which the remaining 23,500,0 could be
reached, in thus far that lic might put 10 them
the question:
"Will you, on the eve of the inevitable
struggle, contribute towards armmg and
my nation for the great battle for
civil and religious liberty, which il is about
TO fight"
III pursuance of these views he has sug- !
gested that there he formed through the
United States and in this State in particular,
associations of"Friends of Hungary" for the
purpose of securing material aid towards
The cause Of civil aud rigious liberty in
Europe. I
The committee for the collection of ma ,
