And this is not the mere idle resolves OF club

Here, sir, is a brief outline Of most extensive
association, formed and organized upon American
soil, by foreign agitatore, the avowed object OF
which is: g Agitatio, as nell In Europe as Amer-
ica" Are these hot bloods capable Of voting and
mingng in the governmental affairs Of this nation
No, sir. The liberty our fathers fought for, and
which we enjoy, is not the privilege to sit and
hatch treasons; to disturb, with unhallowed plot
tings, the princes Of other realms; to break con-
Cs
thority Of law, nor to take from our neighbor his
goods, because he has most but II Is the privilege

and oppression. There Is no tyrant 30 relentless

In these proceedings and regulations, you have
frequent mention of "Me accumulation of the Rev.
ol,iionary Fund" and while these patriots are
forming constitutions and laying plans, we hear OF
the financial operations of their allies, Kossuth and
Kinkle. We see Kossuth peddling his dollar, Of
which here Is curious copy:
HUNGARIAN FUND.--On demand one year after
the establishment in fact of the INDEPENDENT HuNaA-
RAN GOVERNMENT, the holder hereof shall be entitled
to ONE DOLLAR, payable at the National Treasury, or
at either Of its agencies at London or New York. or
to exchange the same in sums Of fifty dollars or over
for certificates bearing four per cent interest paya-
BILE in ten equal annual instruments from one year
after said event L.KossuTH."
We see the accomplished Kinkle delighting au-
diences with his eloquent speeches, and plausible
plans; and raising fifteen and twenty thousand
dollars night from the pockets of the sage i,ahab
itants of the western States-all to be used either
in aid Of the American Revolutionary League, or
for some kindred purpose. And these money ora
tors are aided in their schemes and the people
kept constantly excited, by such appeals as this
ITO THE GERMANS IN AMERICA ! The news brought
to these shores by each successive steamer from Eu
rope, proves that the hour Of iasurrecion q near
seLges IN readiness
AT mass meeting, held November 9, 1858, a com
mission elected for the purpose of organization,
and that commission finding unoccupied that diff
cult position which it requested to take, now calls
upon the German emigration in America to acknowl-
affair.
."The commission has adopted the following plat
form as the basis Of its operations:
We recognise The solidarity Of all revolutionary IN
teress our first oect being however the debiperance
Of Germany from its political GraLdora, aoiktout orr
presunsng to decide By anticipation other secondary
Objects we expect that the people Of Germany will
themselves decide upon their future political system
and place ourselves at the disposition of the revo-
lutionary Government"
-"To our former revolutionary companions we say,
Be prepared The approaching struggle between
liberty and despotism will be severe but 1t will be
the last for it will only terminate with the annihila
ton Of one OF the two opposing and irreconcilable
principles"
Add to this the sage reflections of Mazzni. In
writing to some friend, some member Of this reyo-
lutionary league, perhaps, he says
"Twenty-four millions Of emancipated Italians will
be teoentyfour millions Of Abolitioaists to aid their
brothers in America
Nor am permitted to pause herel These dis
organizing sentiments have spread with fearful
cess Read the following extract of speech Of
Mr.. Roedel to the German portion of the audience,
BRETHREN; For the first time speak in an as
semby like this. We have not all the same language,
but feelings the same they unite here with
the American people. For the advancement of these
sentiments we must not only unite with them in
speeches, but also in acts. In our country have
fought for liberty, and many Of us have lost In bat
tie our fathers brothers. or sons. Here we are free
but not free enough; we want the liberty of living

Hunger Is the excuse for these sentiments, sir
never yet saw an honest healthy man, that could
not earn his daily bread who could not with the
labor Of his own right arm, get enough for himself
his wife, and children. 1t the pretence Of hun
ger that brought the Danes and Normans to Eng

the Goths and Vandals to desolate the airest por-
tons Of the eastern world. This plea Of hunger
may bring millions OF immigrant invaders to this

IL was a native or foreign meeting.
Mr.. BARRY. The gentleman spoke Of the meet

concerned In European revolutionary league, and

Mr.. BARRY. To be sure; to be sure; so it is.
