HON. MIR. BUCHANAN AND KOSSUTH.
The following letter from this distinguished states
man, says the Washington Union, has been brought
to by friend. 1t escaped at the time
of its appearance or II should have been published
an eloquent expression of the thoughts inspired by
the visit of Kossuth to Philadelphia, and as showing
that MIR. Buchanan is behind none of his countrymen
in sympathy for the Hungarian cause and in sent-
of just disapprobation of the conduct of Rus
sa in violating the sacred right of all nations 10
tie for themselves their forms Of government:
"WHEATLAND, (near Lancaster,)
December %, 1851.
"GENTLEMEN: have been honored with your in
vtation, on behalf of the committee of arrangements
TO attend the kosseth banquet at Philadelphia Fri
day l regret that indispensable engagements
will deprive of the pleasure and the privilege of
in person. on that very interesting occa-
rasion, my warm sympathy and high admiration for
kossuth and for Hungary.
In common with our countrymen, Witnessed with
deep interest the of the heroic s:rug
gle of Hungary to assert and to maintain her lent
national independence against the House OF Haps-
burg Lorran When In the progress of this struggle
it became manifest that under the guidance of Gov.
Kossuth the institutions of Hungary, which had kept
he peasants in serviIe subsection, to be forever
abolished and this doWutIodden race were 10 be eie-
Vated the dignity, equality and privileges of free
men, every American heart beat with intense anxiety
or the success of the glorious cause. Sympathy to
he same extent has never been felt amongst for
any foreign people, except those of oppressed Ireland
The intervention Of Russia, however, in violation of
he cearest principles of the law of nations, has, for
he present. blghted all the bright prospects which
he heroism of Hungary had raised. Yet one good
effect may follow from the unjusti6abe interference
IF Gar This may teach the people of western En-
ope to place faith in the predictions of Napoleon,
hat Europe must become either republican or Cos
sack, and thus them to sense of their COM
non danger. If they would live freemen. they
must be willing die Ike freemen under the STAN
lard of human liberty, in whatever portion of their
continent this may be unfu:led. The great struggle
you'd seem now to be impending; and may Heaven
'rotec, the right! May the cause Of human liberty
prove triumphant; and may Hungary emerge from
he conflict under the guidance of her patriotic and
enlightened Governor, free, an independent, and
powerful republic!
JAMES BUCHANAN.
