Visit to K0ssuth.


From ,..- Harrisburg "Eey.tone," Goth Inst.
' Visit to Kossuth.
Among the visitors to kossuth on Sal
D urday last, were a number Of citizens O
Union county, who accidentally met a
Herr's Hotel, and raised moderate fun'
on the spot for the Hungarian cause
which was presented by their spokesman
II. G. Hickok, Esq, of Lewisburg, whc
addressed kossuth substantially as follows
GOVERNOR As chairman of deleca
ton of citizens from Union connty, | bee
to assure you that our hearts are with you
and your glorious cause, and will be as long
as there is occasion for sympathy, or the
purple currents of life flow in our veins.
Our motto is Intervention for non inter
venton,' and We wish it to become the
motto and the rule Of action Of our national
government This Union stands in the
front rank Of nations, and we wish i. to
be also q" Power on earth and that the
moral power of our government, as well
as of our people, should be arrayed au-
thoritatively on the side Of liberty and
justice. And if the moral power of the
principles you SO nobly advocate are not
sufficient, when formally and officially
declared to the world, to arrest the arm of
lawless depotism, wo wish it backed, if
the occasion requires, BY the physical en-
ergies and material resources OF the repub-
lie We do not believe this nation should
now falter in the fulflment of its high
destiny, and falsify the hopes Of the world;
that it should prove itself, unable tn
appreciate the merits Of the impending
crisis, or destitute of the energy of purpose,
to meet the full responsibilities it may
impose. "
But, Governor, I do not wish to intrude
a speech upon you. Your time is too
precious for that, and / know actions are
more eloquent than words" l therefore
tender you our humble contribution Of
" material aid" 1t is a small sum-only
dollar a-piece-but in this country We
are in the habit of calling it the almighty
dollar; and we fervently hope it may prove
to be such in your case. In comparison
with the immense necessities of your
cause, or with the Golfers of the Rothschlds,
from whence the crowned pirates of Europe
draw the "sinews of war;" this small sum
is indeed insignificant; but it lie accompa- |
MED with our best wishes for your success,
and We are persuaded it is only one Of ten
thousand rllls that will flow into your
treasury of freedom from all parts of our
Union. We earnestly hope /
The aggregate amount may be large enough
10 be of effective service, and pray that
he blessing of tho Almighty may rest
Upon your efforts for the redemption of
rour beloved Hungary.
Kossuth handed the money TO his Sec.
etary, and in brief reply returned his
cordial thanks for the donation, and stated
hat these evidences of tho opinions and
;ood will of the people were cheering and
grateful to his heart, and greatly encour-
ged him in his tolls and sorrows 1t was
o the people he looked as the source of
'olitieal power, and the generous support
re- Of liberal principles, and he placed
nore value on the individual contributions
f the people, however small, than all the {
7ealth of the Rothschilds, for the good ,
FISHES and blessings and political influence
f the people went with their donations, I
ut no blessing could follow the Roths- +;
hilds' money; it was cursed by the tears :
nd sufferings Of oppressed millions.
