rows, which has been his lot to en-
counter, in defending the rights and
liberties Of his oppressed country

His coming among us, has opened
up a new subject of discussion. On
one side it is coutended that our
Government, in justice to itself and
the civilized nations of the world
should interfere so as to prevent a
powerful and naughty nation from
expressing those who are weak-to
lend its influence, so as to secure
the diffusion of liberal and Demo-
cratic principles in the old world
On the other hand it is commended
that we have no right to interfere
that the true policy of our Govern
ment is to remain neutral. 1t is our
intention to present a few thoughts
on this subject. And in doing so
we do not expect to cast any new
upon it. And although we
believe, that the mass of our people
approve of the policy advocated by
Kossuth, yet we will speak as we
individually feel. Our people have
the means within their power to
to extend to him "material aid" and
if they approve ofhis doctrine, they
will do so. But more on this point

Before Kossuth came among us,
regarded him only as a remark
able and an unfortunate mantle
of a revolution that had for
its object the establishment of the
great principles of selfgovernment,
to throw oftho woke, which Austrian
aided by Russia, had Gas-
upon them, and to establish
Hungarian independence. 1t was
in this light that we then regarded
