cheers.1 Upon my soul, Brave Char
ley will be glad TO do it, and Poland
will rise like hurricane against your
enemy, the Czsr. The inheritors of
Of the ancient glory Of Poland will
pray to God, and fight, and keep their
powder dry. Applause. Now, gen
tlemen, this is the best means to make
useful your fleet, and the only means
of attaining the objects Of your war
Without Poland the fighting, you
cannot vanquish the Czar-you can
not reduce the dangerous power Of
Russia.
The reconstruction OF Poland is your
victory, or nothing is. Again, gen.
tleman, you mean to fight for free
dom, do you not? ['Yes, yesl] Well,
if you do, will tell yon in what way
you can best do it. Sign petitions, ana
call on your government to declare to
Turkey that England hes no objection
to Turkey taking the Hungarian nation
for its ally, instead of accepting the
reasonable friendship of ambitious
Austria, red with blood of murdered
nations. [Cheers. Have you any
objection to see Hungary afforded a
better scrutiny for resurrection and
liberty and greater political safety?--
[ Cries Of No, noP and three groans
for Austria. If you have no,objection, TO
it, neither should your government
have, because you are constitutional
people. Your voice has only to be
heard, because it is you who have TO
bleed and pay for the war. Hear,
hear. But, really, gentlemen, | be-
lieve it is very moderate wish when |
don't ask more from your government
if it does not mean TO do any good to
Hungary, at least to do US no harm. 1t
should not help Austria to fetterus.-
Hear, hear.
So much may well claim, gentle
men, because of the positive wrong we
experienced from the English Govern
ment, which by its consent and en-
couragement. brought down the Rus
sian Intervention upon us in i849.-
[ Hear. hear.l protest. before Hea-
ven and earth, that England has no
right to do US any harm. Cheers.
1t has no right to dispose of our desti-
nies by tearing from our lips the bless
ed opportunity which Divine Provi-
dence is afforded for our liberation.-
We are no herd of cattle to be sold for
political expediency--w are nation.
[ Cheers In the third place, may
well claim so much at your hands, be-
cause it so happens that in your pres
ent war, you cannot prosper if your
Government ruins us. Hear, hear.
Our freedom is your victory-our OPP
preston is your defeat. Hear, hear.
You have a dangerous and laborious
way to walk--we have the same way
TO go; let US go together and we shall
both so safely. Hear. And yet |
am sorry to say, gentlemen, that the
policy Of your goyernmentup to the
present moment goes just to the con-
trary. 1t courts the false favors of
Austria, it hindered and prevented
Turkey from allying itselfto Hungary,
and from affording to Hungary the op-
portunity TO fight for its ownliberation
and for thesecurity of Turkey. Hear,
hear.
Thus, in reality, you have been
made to pay not so much for the secu-
rity Of Turkey and the independence
of Europe, as to secure Austrian op-
preston over Poland. Hungary and
Italy. Do you like this? Cries OF
.Noll No, you do not. You can the
less so because England is the loser by
1t. Austria cannot help you. She
must fall, in the long run, in this war.
But we-Poland and Hnngary-we
would. [Cheers. Austria will be-
tray you; she will stab you unawares.
But we will be strong shield and n
sharp sword in your hands. Cheers.
Now | ask, will you make English
blood to flow.-will you pay millions
