To settle the question which has been so
much debated in New Haven this week as
to the date and time of year Of Kossuta's
visit to this city, we publish the following
relative to this event, taken from the files
of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
from the COURIER Of Thursday morning, April
%, 1859.
KossUTH COMMITTEE.
The committee of invitation to Kossuth,
| appointed by the common council and led
| by the citizens, are requested to meet at
the common council chamber today. at 10
| O'Clock, noon. 1t Is earnestly requested
that every member will be present.
From the issue of Friday morning, April
%, is the following:
COURIER OF APRIL 23, 1852.
At meeting of the Hungarian commit
tee yesterday, the arrangements for the re-
| ceplion of Governor Kossuth to-day, were
| completed and agreed upon as follows:
A committee, consisting of Hon. Alfred
Blackman and William e. Sanford, Esq,
was appointed to proceed to New York
| and meet Kossuth there and escort him to
| this city. The mayor, alderman and COM
mon council, with the Hungarian commit
| tee, will meet him at the New York rail-
| road depot on the arrival of the II o'clock
q. m. train and escort him to the south
portico of the state houee, where the mayor
| will welcome him in behalf of the city and
| where Kossuth will probably address the
| citizens. From thence he will be accom-
panied to Whitneyville, where the work
men in the gun factory will present the
governor with case Of rifles manufactured
expressly for the purpose.
Upon his return to the city he will par.
take of collation. at the New Haven house
and from thence be escorted to the cars on
his way to Boston.
These arrangements are as perfect as
| the limited time for preparation will sd
/ NIT of, and q warm and cordial greeting
| under such circumstances will doubtless be
| more gratifying than a more imposing
| parade.
A committee of arrangements has been
| appointed consisting of Hon. Mayor Skin
| der, Dr.. John B. Robertson. Charles Robin
| son, Minott A. Osborn and James F. Bah
| cock. A police force will bs present at the
depot to prevent crowd inside of the
building.
HIS VISIT HERE.
The following account of Kossuth's ar
rival and stay in this city is from the
COURIER of Saturday morning, April "a,
1859:
The morning express from New York
Friday, April %, 1859 brought Governor
Kossuth and suite with the attending COM
mittee to this city. He was received at
the Station House by the mayor and city
officers and the committee Of arrangements,
and escorted in carriages to the State
house, under a salute of artillery stationed
on the green and the ringing of the church
bells.
At the south porch of the State house he
was welcomed by His Honor Mayor Skin
ner, in an exceedingly beautiful and appro-
pirate speech, after which Kossuth ad
dressed the citizens, who had assembled
| by thousands, in the open air and who fire.
| quently Interrupted him with bursts of
| applause.
After he had concluded he was escorted
through the college buildings, and from
! thence proceeded to the village of Whitney
Vile, where he went through Mr.. Whit
| ney's extensive gun factory, in which he
declared himself very much Interested, and
| examined the various processes of manu-
| featuring with much attention. After an
introduction to the workmen Eli Whitney,
ESQ the proprietor of the establishment,
In brief but feeling address presented
him, in bshalf of the workmen, with TWEEN
| ty beautiful rifles, manufactured by them
for this purpose at an expense of $500.
The rifles were displayed on the bridge in
| the yard of the armory, and over them wac
suspended q flag with the inscription,
material Aid"
Kossuth responded briefly, slludiDg to
the father of Mr.. Whitney as the inventor
of the cotton gin, which had contributed
80 much to the prosperity and industry of
this country and expressed his gratifica-
| ton that the son was manufacturing the
| weapons to protect and sustain that pros
perity and industry, and by means of
which similar blessings were to be con-
| ferred upon other nations.
On his return he partook OF private
dinner at the New Haven house and left
on the p. m. train for Springfield. At
the New Haven house Leopold Waterman,
Esq, in behalf of q German society, pre-.
scented Kossuth with purse containing
$25, the gift of the society.
In presenting the purse Mr.. Waterman
read an address, in German, to which Kos
suth replied in the same language. Just
before leaving, Mr.. Charles Ruckholdt, in
behalf of the German Democratic associa-
ton, presented him with $50. accompany
ing it with few remarks, to which Kos
suth made an appropriate reply, thanking
them for their token of regard. National
flags were hoisted upon the flag stats and
public building, and many of the stores on
Chapel street were decorated with tri-
colored flags and other Indie atoms of re-
| joicing
The National Blues were on guard at the
state house to assist the police and afford
ed practical aid in restraining the crowd.
| On Saturday, April "a, Kossuth will visit
| Northampton, where he will pass the Sab
bath. On Monday he will return to Spring
| field and proceed to Worcester, when he
| will leave for Boston. Arriving at Boston
| about II o'clock, he will be received by q
| military escort and conducted to the state
house, where the governor will receive him.
He will then be escorted through the prin
| cipal streets TO his quarters at the Revere
| house.
The following are the remarks of Ell
Whitney made in presenting the rifles to
Kossuth:
"Governor Kossuth: I address you In
behalf of ths freemen who co operate with
me in the manufacture of arms. They sd-
mire your virtues and patriotism and sym
psthizing In your noble eause present to
| you these rifieo. We feel assured, sir, that
the present acquired reputation of this
| rifle will not suffer in the hands of your
brave countrymen when they shall uee
them in defence Of their fire side and
| laws.
| "We trust, sir, that the termination of
the approaching struggle for liberty in
| Europe will find your country q constitu-
| tiona! republic, your people united and
| Free"
