to our own affairs at home, Strengthening our
nation by improving our agriculture and our

tending our commerce, cultivating The arts

on crusade, taking the renowned Knight
of La Mancha as her great exemplar, and
vigiiantly go about redressing grievances

Kossuth directs at us generally, and at Young

Young America chiefly, because he had fixed
his hopes upon that promising young man.
Dining with Admiral Sanders, the enthusiastic
Magyar had been led to suppose that the
eagle of America would soon take her flight
over the world with the flag of freedom in
her claws, compelling the nations to rally
