English working men, with delcacy nearly border
ing on poetry honor me with such precious testi-
mOny of their friendship and regard. (Cheers)
Why, my lord, has all this occurred to me on &C.
count Of the little English know, or In compliment
to the foreign pronunciation which clashngiy hurts
the hearing of Englishmen? 1t is that l touched Q
chord to which there il thrilling echo in the breast
OF every honest man. II Is because my theme was
liberty the very word OF which is enough 70 eleciiy
mans heart and to bring tears of joy or tears OF CON-
passion to his eyes. 1t was because spoke OF my
countrys virtues and OF its unmerited misfortune,
and held up its bleeding image to the world; theme
which cannot fail to move mans heart, to make his
blood boil up with execIation against tyrants, and
with hatred against injustice and despotlsm-a
theme sad enough to make the very stones in the
street to cry out for compassion and for sympathy.
(Cheers) The best thanks, in my opinion, are the
pledge which give you in the name of my beloved peo
pie, that, abiding our time, We will endure suierings,
persecution, oppression, but We will not despair.
(Cheers) No adyersities shall bend our resolution to
have country restored to its national rights and
to see it once more independent and free. Tyrants
may rage in blind fury, and decimate the patriots OF
Hungary; still the day of redress and of retributon
shall come Yes, my lord, the hangman's rope may

power earth can prevent that curse to fall down
on the oppressors d-(cheersl-because there ID
a God in heaven, and there will be justice on earth
(Cheers.) The blood from the patriots heart, split
at the tyrants command may deluge the soil Of our
fatherland and dogs may lick up what there as
mortal in that blood; but no power on earth can
prevent its immortal atoms to mount to Almighty
God-like as the blood of Abel did mount. (Cheers.)
The bodies Of the martyrs may rot in the cold grave,
a meat for the worms; but their immortal spirits
will gather round the throne Of the Eternal, praying
for Justice to their trodden down native land; and
there they saud, and their name is legion. (Cheers)

All this may be done-it is-and many things beside.

eyes, what contemplate mountebankery it is to see
the despots and their hepmates assuming that were
it not for some so-called consprators, Italy would
love Austrian tyranny, and Hungary would get re.
conciled to its unutterable sufferings and wrongs!
Consprators! In the name of all that is sacred to
man, those oppressors there, they are the conspi-
rators against God, against humanity, against the
peace of the world. 1t is they who make Europe
boil like volcano, and the continent quake to
the very foundation Of society. l beseeeh you to
