The IngYaham Testimonial At metropolitan
H ali-Intervemlion Proclaimed.

/
/ II All-InrervemllOn Proclaimed.
| The Ingraham testimonial at Metropolitan
Hall on Thursday evening was a most bril-
liant, successful. and enthusiastic demonstra-
ton. 1t was an imposing and extraordinary
assemblage Of radical democrats, the political
exiles from Europe largely preponderating,
the occasion involving the very subject in
which they were most Immediately interested.
The German Turner'S, some five hundred
strong; the German Reform Verein, near two
hundred; the German Democratic Bund,
some six hundred in number; champions of
the French republic democratic, and social Of
Young Italy, and of Hungary, by thousands,
were there, the whole assemblage being har-
monized by the presence of the European Revo-
lutionary Society Of some twenty-five OF thirty
persons To crown all the Cuban Junta,
with force of three hundred and fifty Cuban
refugees, brought up the reserve. The flag
Of the Magyars the blood-red banners Of the
French and of the German democracy, were
mingled together with our national ensign
and the Lone Star of Cuba, as the emblems
| OF common cause in this case of KOszta.
| On the platform were such men as
| Gen. Avezzana, Of the Roman republicans; Gen.
Mezaros, Of the Hungarian revolution; Michael
Doheny, Of the Irish liberators A. Maluski, Of the
Polish exiles; Brigadier-General Hall, of the
New York State militia; Padre Gavazzi, and
John Cochrane. The aggregate Of the assem-
blage exceeded five thousand souls, every man,
woman and child of them with their minds
fully made up on the Koszta question.
The organization and the proceedings were
not less marked than the composition of the i'm
mense and enthusiastic congregation. There
was some rivalry, it appears, in the outset, be-
tween our democratic hard shells and soft shells
| respecting the control Of the meeting: but a
compromise was effected whereby the hards
were given the chairman and the softs and free
sellers. with John p. Hale and John Cochrane,
| prominency among the speakers Of the evening
Judging, however from the little morning pen
| ny trumpet Of the soft shells. which publishes
never q solitary syllable of the meeting. we
should conclude that the said soft shells
desire it to be understood that they wash
| their hands of the whole business. Per-
haps. as an approval Of the proceedings
mi ght be mistaken for an endorsement by the adj
ministration, the softs thought it best to main
tain a dead silence on the subject. But we do
not see why they should be SO very skittish af-
ter the following statement by the Chairman -
We do no. mean to trouble ourselves about the
exact terms Of international law. (Cheers.) While
we mind our business as a nation let us say TO the
monarcbies Of the Old World =" Mind yours" 1t
will do the Courts of Europe harm to smell occa-
| sionaly little Yankee po vter. (Cheers) II it
DO not better their morals 1t may help TO mend their
| manners. (Cheers) Some people talk, too, )f the
| European despotsms coming TO this country with
| trumpet, drum, and FIDDLE. Well, let them come !
| They viii meet with warm reception He had re-
Gently returned from Washington. and could give
them The fullest assurance that this government
meant to stand by the gallant Capt Iograham.
| Tremendous app'ause)
Here we find that not only is Capt. Ingraham
sustained "by authority" but that +" we do not
mean to trouble ourselves about the exact terms
Of international law" When there is "a free
fight 5" in Europe they may count us in !" be-
cause it will do those old rotten monarchies
coed : to smell occasionally little Yankee
POWDER This is fat-footed Intervention. Kos
suth and Kinkel left this country too soon. AT
this crisis they ought to be here. They might
turn this case of Koszta into an American
armed occupation Of Europe; and those forty
thousand muskets, bought at two dollars apiece,
might thus be sold at clear profit Of one hun
bred per centum. Let the despots OF Europe
read the above extract from the speech Of the
| Chairman Of the Ingraham mass meeting and
trcmble. But what pity that such an coca
sion should lie permitted to fall into the hands
| Of our trading politicians. What pity.
