Ho1ne well-timed remarks. compares our con-
Il ltion with that Of Hungary from the period

plicable to ctr condition;
The Huugarians had no objection to being
4overued bV the representative of the House
II II t1,-burg, but they were willing TO sub
nm ~ him A. King Of Hungary-not as Duke
al Austria. The people OF the Southern
a8,,te, did not wish 10 destroy the Union.
Ia u maintain their equality within 1t.
Falliug IN these objects, both peoples threw
themselves upon their original sovereignty.

"a sword to enforce obedience, and in each

Dun correspondent speaks cshaying wit
messed the entry OF the Emperor into the
Magyar capital, amidst the acclamati0ns OF
the people. A national Parliament has
been again opened, and, II We are not mis-
ta6en, the Emperor has consented to re-
ceiye the Hungarian crown 40 of old, in the
midst Of his Hungarian subjects, and to re-
Et0re to them their ancient lmmunltles and
pfiyilcges.
~ think that this example is full of Ell
management for the Southern people. What
Wemost need is patience and hope. Like
he1lmgarians let us, by manly submls-
sion to our fate and faithful performance OF
orr obligations, refute the calumnies OF
those who charge us with reasonable, re
beiiious,' "disloyaH purposes. At the same
time there Is no occasion to sacrifice honor
ana compromise conscience. by hypocrltical
nrofessions Of pcuiteuce and conversion
that thrift may follow tawning."
Lei us patiently bide our tiIne-not with
any view OF over appealing to force to re-
mase the calamities which force has i'm
posed upon MS, but in the hope that the
King of kings may work for us, in His owl
way and Hi own time, the relief which lie
has So signally wrought for the Hungariaus
