TIE TRUE POLICY OF ENGLAND.
KOSSUTH'S GREAT SPEECH AT
GLASGOW.
SPEECH BY PROFESSOR NiCHOL.

SPEECH BY PROFESSOR NICEIOL.
We have already laid before our readers the speech Of
Kossuh At Glasgow in the morning of July s. II seem:
that after that admirable speech, second meeting wa
held in the evening at the City Hall, where Professor
Nchol presided. The hall crowded. 1t was taste
fully laid out for the occasion, and had very animated
appearance there being rcat many ladies present On
NJ Kossuth appearing upon the PLATFORM he was greeted
with the most enthusiastic cheering and waving of hats
and haudkerchels-the whole company simultaneously
sprngng TO their feet do him honor On the platform
the least noteworthy parsonage was Madame hoSsuh'
whose state of health was much improved since her de-
parure from the metropolis that she able bs present
at the great gathering i'll honor Of 10 whom she has
shown so much devotion and whose patriotism has bor-
rowod little of its glory from her suiicrngs Madame
Kossuth is somewhat under the common size her face
pale and pensive and in Der large dark eyes reflected
the kindness of q great and loving heart.
After the Rev DR.. Jcfray had implorcd blessing on
the proceedings the immense company had service of
straw berries and cream When these had been disposed
Of
TIE Charmen then said Assuredly ladies and gentle
men, shall not abuse the confidence with which you now
honor NE by nterposng than the ewest unpreeni-
nj words botwoo this great assembly aud that exceed
ing pleasure which nv ats al. And know you will
agree with me that il would only be a breach of taste
were to indulge in laboled euogy OF man with whose
name aud actions all civilization is familiar, and who
will he thought Of with affection long there remains
on this earth intelligent heart that can throb at the
contemplation of the heroic. IL is sometimes SAID gen.
temen that great cres produce great men-that opPor
tunty for action brings or creates an agent Aa' L
would were So If the fitting reaper always comes with
the harvest there would be less gevious waste OF that
abundance which the conditions even OF terresrq eX
istapce place so beautifully within reach of mankind
The maxim, fear, rather true IN Its reverse great
crises being otenest destroyed because through
want OF effective guides, they fail to be manlged
10y persons who cannot seize opportunities, SIMPLY
because they never discern them It's indeed no simple
task no work for the most respectable redtapery
10 take hold of epoch and control It, 10 master the
and the sympahies OF people and so 10 arouse
and concentrate their best impulses that they shall obey
as if they but one man, and through such
obedience achieve deeds If the kind that brghtens
large spaces of history-to accomplish this Is gwen
only to those hearts and inellects whose APP
peaances the thcaer OF human events are few aud far
between But such men, when they do appear, never tail
10 fulfil mighty purposes whatever their want
Of success whether in what termed diplomacy
they are still the practical Statesmen Of humanity for
they illustrate and impress principles which cannot dc
Icheers-principles 10y which the whole future is beneh
Gently affected Just surely the liberties Of Hungary
whole progress of central Europe, In
dissoubly connected with the life OF kossuth. APP
plause.l Gentlemen have felt for one that this
war in which we engaged this terrible calamity
which through the and crimes Of past generations
has fallen the present, is one of those incidents which
never will be managed Alright unless fall back such
principles. And do rejoice that at least powerful
voice exists which fear silence and which Will not
be withheld from laying the truth before the conscences of
the British people some persons indeed, suppose there
is need of this others tell it is dangerous and certain
parties give satisfactory xplanatOns. Let us turn
from all such Iuerties and face ike men the stern facts
of the One broad issue is already before Us, on
which There be mistake, this issue, 10
purchase peace from Austria OF this war, undertaken
ostensiby for the solid pacifcGton OF Europe-a war
which nigh and ought to close the era of revouon-are
we prepared 10 accept a sham conclusion Are pre-
pared TO be satisfied that these existing dscOrds merely
huddlod upand for such conclusion to pay Austria her
pricenof the blood perhaps, but wha, Is more the pro-
ioBeod extinction of the social life Of several Of the
finest in the old world l think may take IT as
the voice of this meeting that viii not pay such
price. Applause.l And although unwilling to disturb
the eQuanimiy of such estimabe gentleman as the
Earl OF Westoreand do trust that when he Is asked at
Vienna what is the meaning Of this Glasgow meeting he
will find himself compelled to reply that the meaning Of
the Glasgow meeting simply his-to declare that the
British nation, at least, will not purchase peace from
Austria. Tremendous cheering. Gentlemen, should We
be go mesn should be wicked, rs TO be willing 10
enter ino;hs compromise our pains would Ice simply
wasted We should commit what TGleyrGad used 70 say
was worse than crIme-a most gorgeous bnndcr. DO
noundersand much about politics and certainty nothing at
all about diplomacy but will venture the distinct assertion
that peace or an apparent peace Europe purchased
on the ground that those great naona'les ha continue
