IV NEW ORLEANS,
c cannot contemplate the accursed tyr
anny exercised hy the Spanish Government
and the pusillanimous quietude of our own
government in respect to tliis outraged gen
tleman, our blood boil. In
the name oi truth, do we live under a ‘varcru
mrnl! Is it that to be an ‘"American citizen’*
is a mere mockery and not a panoply of hon
or and protection! Is an American safe no
where. except upon the soil of his country,
and arc the boasted stars and stripes power
less to protect life or limb, the instant a
citizen passes the boundaries ofthe Republic?
she history of the last twentv-fivc years fur
nishes a humniatinsf answer to these ques
tions. For a quarter of a century prior to
tlie Mexican war, so little respect was paid
to the will and ability of the T'nited States
Government to protect its citizens, that
Americans found it to their interest to travel
i under lirilish protrefinns —American mer
chants were seized and thrown into Mexican
j. dungeons, and their property stolen and ap
| propriated by tlie government—ln G *n Jack
son's tipie, an American Secretary of State
declared that seventy eases of outrage of
this description, were of record, any of which
amounted in enormity, to a justification of an
appeal to arms. Ten years after this, hostili
ties broke out with M “xieo, but tlie war was
the result, not of the purposes of this Gov
ernment to seek atonement for this long
catalogue of aggressions, but of a Mexican i
infatuated belief, that our Government was
cowardly and that its army as well as its
civil power could be treated with ppntcmpt.
How often do we hear of American ships be
ing fired into by Spanish and British cruisers!
The Steamer Falcon was twice fired on and
her flag insulted on tlie Cuba coast last year-
It is but a few weeks sinee a British Brig
fired into the American Steamer Prometheus
and compelled her to pay an illegal charge to
the Mosquito Government. Who lias ever
heard of American sliipsofwar cutting up
these capers? Right under the guns of the
Sloop of War. Alabanv. 51 Americans, taken
unarmed and on the high seas were inhuman
lv butchered hv Concha: the gallant tars o
board, besought their commander to give
them orders or leave to rush to the rescue
of their countrymen—but lie was an
enn commander—he was under tlie orders
,of a Government, which is so dreadfully
J afraid of violating the Amer'can maxim of
non-intervention in Foreign “affairs, that it
will not interfere when it “is disgraceful and
) cowardly to abstain. Suppose tlie Albany
i had been a British Slfp and Crittenden and
i his companions, British subjects—we, ask
i would they have been murdered under Brit
ish gun#? Never—Concha would not hare
i dared, because he knows that the British 11a
| tion to a man, stands always ready to risk its
national existence in defence ofthe meanest
j British subject from foreign outrage. The
| United States haven different reputation
Tlie United States Government vrrmils these
outrages, and a little diplomatic salve cures
| tlie wounds of National honor, after her sons
to whom her protection is due by every sen
timent of honor, and justice. and good Gov
ernment have rotted in n dungeon or been
j hurried out of life by blood-thirsty despots.
This Government is becoming contemptible
! on this score, in the eyes of the world, and
lit behooves the people to speak out on the
subject-, and to teach those who adminbt.r
it. that the rights of an American citizen
’ must he protected in whatever part <-t the
| world the strong arm ofthe Government can
he extended, to reach and punislPthose who
I infringe them. It is a sickening, commenta
ry on the. tlie difference between this G >v
ernment and Great Britain that of tlie persons
sent from Cubi to Spain a few months ago,
i all those that are British have been liberated.
while the Americans are still manacled in
chain-gangs, or languishing in Spaninh dun
geons.
But of all the high-handed and daring in
suits to the Americ m Government and peo
ple. yet perpetrated by* Spuiish insolence,
the ease of Mr. Tiirasher stands out pre-em
. incut in enormity. A damning disgrace rests
on our Government for every moment that
| innocent man lies in confinement. He was
i arrested for nothing, nothing w.as proven on
i him—his trial was a solemn mockery, illegal
in the constitution of iitnilitary court in time
of peace, and his.sentence, has been sudden
harsh and barborous. His only crime was
jn active, an 1 benevolent sympathy for his
j suffering countrymen taken in the unfortu
nate Lopez expedition. Tlie British consul

i these remains in II ivana.as safe un

chains, a victim to Spanish insolence and
cruelty. It is time for the people to net
where their jrovcrmveat is so stupidly
blind to its duties,-or so heartlessly deaf to
the voice of humanity. We are glad to see
that the press is speaking ont on this subject
and we hope its Toiee will avaken the
country to a sense of the disgrace which rests
upon it, in consequence at the cowardly in
difference of the Gerernment to the fate of
its suffering citizens. The city of New Or
leans has set a noble example. We have be
fore us the proceedings of an extraordinarv
mceting hejd in thafreity on the 10:h inst-
“THK CKIOS OF TIIK STATES AXO THE SOVKIIK lOX T V OF TIIK STATES.”
An intense excitement pervades the city, and
at tlie meeting of 3,0H0 citizens nothing was
heard but the sentiment, ‘-the p:‘.rd<m of
Thrasher, or war.”
The following resolutions from the Com
mittee were adopted by the meeting;
Whereas, Mr J. id. Thrasher, a citizen of
the United States, hasin.q time of profound
peace, been seized, carried before a Sqanish
military tribunal, in Havana and without a
fair opportunity of defence, and in violation
ofthe comity of nations, and of all treaty
stipulations, becnVomlcinned to an ignomin
ous slavery by Spanish authorities, acting
irregularly, therefore.
Remh-ed. That tlie ease of J. S. Thrashsr
so plainly showing the insecurity of Amer
ican citizens abroad, demonstrating the neces
sitv of a more active vindication of our na
tional honor, calls for a fair, manly, and deci
sive protest, a positive and unconditional re
clamation of his person and peremptory
w rning for the future, upon the part of our
Government.
lies,>lccd. Tha’ hereafter, our Government
established to protect the interests, and guard
the rights of citizens, the function of all gov
ernment,—and without which government is
worth nothing—should come forward more
promptly than heretofore, to vindicate pri
vate liberty and public rights, even if such
vindication should r nder necessary by an ap
peal to arms.
Rt solved, That we confidently hope that
the present national administration will
promptly vindic.-.tJ national honor private
rights, tiie immunities of Ameliean citizen
ship, and tin* American ff ig;and thereby com
mand respect for our country abroad and
safety for our citizens the wide world
over.
The resolutions (says the reporter of the
proceedings) were received \vjtl} con
siderable. applause, but did not seem to be
exactly up to to the mark of the meeting,
nd. indeed, tliis was pretty clearly shown by
ihe next incident.
Mr. W. A. Wilder begged leave to pro
pose an amendment. The resolution was
couched in the following words:
Resolved, Tint no Spanish Consular flag
shall be allowed to be exhibit •*! in New Or
leans until John *S. Tiirasher is rcl :ased.
It required all the efforts of the more mod
erate members ofthe meeting to induce tlie
assemblage to tirego the passage ot the
amendment. The argument used was that it
was the duty of the United States, not of
Louisiana, to compel by force if need be, tlie
release of Mr. Thrasher.
A GEJRCHA LEGISLATOR.
The lloNonfisLre Alexan-lor MeDmgal.l who
represents this intelligent eounty in the ‘House of
Assembly, has taken the occasion of the visit of
the legislature, to the city of Savannah, to return
to Columbus to pay a visit to the “B->ys.” His
ad''rut was the signal for an outbreak of a series o
drunken orgies, with wliieh Saturday “night was
made hideous"—himself leading the van and
making maudling speeches from bar-room coun
ters (when not too drunk to stand up) and indulg
ing in those. itlier elegant amusements ofthe Row
dy in which h- shines so pre-mivnently. We
mention it, not for the sake of Mr. .Nf -l). him
self-—but to exhibit him in his proper light to the
orderly, decent and sober-minded people of this
county ; that they may determine whether he is
the proper man to dictate their votes an l impose
himself an 1 his friends on tlie public eon i donee
whenever an office is to he bestowed. Is it not
time that a moral, iut ■Higant an 1 virta >us people,
had other nil. r—if ruler they mud have—than
a m in. who obtains an 1 retains his power by the
demoralization of tilt- p ‘ople and by pandering to
jhe “ices, and passions of the dissipated and the
dissolute.!? lbs it not time !br public virtue tojis-
s.-rt its dignity an 1 mark with Its reprobation a
ayst.-in of vile *Sr vicious electioneering which has so
often mantled theche.-k of th • public modesty with
the blush of slume—outraged the sense of decency,
hy converting the Sabbath into a day of drunken
Saturnalia, and drown.-. 1 the vo.eeot the p-ople at
the ballot box by an influx of vot -s purchased by
rum. gold and the gratification of vicious appetite?
It is the boast of this man. that he ran beat any
m-m before the people of Mtwcogee for anything—
and yet, with the exception of tlie small ban-l tha
he sways by his demoralizing enginery, no man
stands lower in moral an l ]x!:tie.?.l character.
The wand of his power consists in To to 100 vote*
that lie sways at his Autocratic will. Tit's re
serve he wields to throw into the scale of n'.eel v
balanced parties and thus decide all election*.—
Arc there not 100 good men who ‘will organize
to counU-rp-we thi# in lueiie *, mil make an issue
between corruption and honesty, between decen
cy and virtuous public administration,and ruffsidy
rowdyisni and political corruption?
We throw out tiles.-hints for the reflection of
this community. The present calm in the politi
cal world—when new parties are Wining and
men scarcely know where tin y belong—is propi

The New York Journal of C un.
mcree. says that in consequence of an iir.r
pression having been made public in some of
the Journals that the purpose of Governor
Kossuth's mission to the United States is to
procure aid from this Government, in the
shape of an armv or fleet, with which to re
pel the enemies and secure the Independence
of Hungary, it his been authorized to state
that such is not his design but tint lie says
simply that England and America shall unite
in atlirmiug the policy vh.at “every nation
shall have the right to make and site- its
political institutions to suit its own condition
and convenience,” and that by assuming thi s
position, he holds that there would be no
danger of onr being involved in war and that
he has not intended to suggest that America
should copy the example of France during
onr Revolution, according to the letter but
according to the spirit.

Tiie Order or the Love St ar.—The N.

une gives the following account of anew
order lately established in the South West :
•■T.iis formidable association, which has
sprung up withi i a few months, already num
her numerous lodges in this city and is
stretching its arm of brotherhood throughout
the south and west. It is estimated that
■■ within a year this secret order will number
thirty thousand: embracing within its ranks
men of the first talent, standing and wealth
in the country. Their treasury is already
strong and a fund is accumulating at tneir
disposal that wiii soon be counted at hun
dreds of thousands. They ma-e no secret of
their objects, but declare by printed consti
tutions and otherwise, that the design of
their organization is to extend the area of
liberty. There can be no doubt that their
ultimate intentions point to the overthrow of
Spanish American sovereignty arid the an
nexation of Cuba to the United States, or
to its independence as a separate republican
government. With the “sine\\*s of war” at
their command, men without number, the
sympathies ofthe slave states in their-favor
and the highly mercurial and martial spirit
of the south to second their efforts, a de
monstration maybe made tint will astonish
the world. The end is yet to be seen.

SPEECH OF SENATOR BUTLER,
j In reply t Mr, Foote’s speech in support of his
resolution to open the compromise agitation in the
Senate, Mr. Butler of South Carolina spoke ass.. I
- Ilis speech must express the sentiments of
j every honest man—of all, indeed, except the mis
erable political hucksters who- are striving to
i preserve tlieirexistence by keeping the breath in
tlie nostrils of the expiring Union humbug,
j “Mr. Butler. Mr. President, Ido not propose
to’say much u|miii the subject at this time; but 1
; will say that when 1 lienr.l of this resolution, 1
heard of it with surprise. It is a mode of proceed
ing scarcely known, I believe, in any deliberative
body that I ever heard of. To introduced a sub
sequent session of tlie Legislature resolutions eott
i firming what I suppose iiiiist be regarded as sta
tutes upon the statute hook, is nil ex post facto
mode of reviewing the {wist. And for what pur
pose? If the legislation referred toby the liolmr
! able S> nator from Mississippi be wicked, can he
i restore purity to it by a resolution of this kind? If
that resolution be wise, is it not supererogatory
and unnecessary to introduce such a resolution?—
! For what purpose, then, is the resolution intro
\ duced? I have no right to arraign the gentleman's
! motives, nor do 1. What may have been his ob
ject, 1 have no right to dispute, for lie has avowed
; it; but as to what will be the effect of this reso
lution, I have right to speak. It the gentle
man had been selecting motions to introduce, he
cnulJ not have been mi.rusuccessful in introducing
ojjc to open former discussions, and to let looso
! upon Uii# land the waters of agitation. [ protest
| against this mode of proceeding as unusual, as ini
j necessary, and as—l will not say intended, l.e
----1 cause l shall not use any word of the km.l—-but
the tendency of wliieh will be to widen hr. U'dics
which already and t<> reach feelings that
i might perhaps have subsided under the influence
j of time or a better understanding among ourselves.
I understand the honorable Senator from Misss
| sippi to introduce the resolution with a view to
1 give to the measures ofthe compromise an autho
rity wliieh they do not posses* by the act of legis
lation conducted with all the forms which the Con
-1 Ktitution requires. < ‘an lie expect to do so? Can
I he give them any other authority—any otln r in
fluence by a vote of this Semite than they would
I have had"without it? Can he reconcile nn- to
these measures hv his vote or the vote of his
! friends?
i Sir. lie knows'the opinion I entertain of these
j measures, and the manner in which they were in
j treduced and'passed in this body. 1 then denoiin-
I eed them. I now denounce them; because I be
lieve that tlu-y have made a precedent in the po
litical history of this country, under the influence
oTvvh’ch tl.is Union, wielded by a despotic majo
rity w-ll survive the CotistrtntMm. 1 believe now
! a* Y believed then, that they were passed ill viota-
I tion of tlie sp rit of the guarantees calculated to
protect one section of th s Union. 1 )oes the gen
tleman sttpp se that the South is to have security
bv an assurance Mich as h - pro|osos? Does he
j expect that I,'vho have heretofore denounced these
measures, shall now consent to put upon them th*
! seal of approbation, and to kiss the rod ol oppivs
"j siou, as l have regarded it? Sir. I cannot, with
JJrtii.lical devotion, v.orslrp at the foot of a tree
whose fruits are to be bitterness and destruction
! to my prosperity.
j [f there is any one thing in the |*>hticul history
; of tliis country that will be developed by time, it
i will be this : that the Constitution of tho Ini ted
Slates never can be amended. I think it maybe
proi-laimed as a settled fact, that the Constitution,
wliieh ha* been in operation’ tor more than sixty
years, never will be amended. And why? Bo
cause as s.h.ii as we meet with any .blheulty from
tlie a.lm’ivstrntion of the Government —as soon as
i any trying juncture of affairs is presented —what
! i. the expedient? ]><• we apply that great prinei
! |!e provided for ill the Constitution ol the l niteil
; States, by wliieh it can be amended? No, sir. Ibe
: resort is to compromise, or to enlarging by con
struction. somcofthe provisions of (lie Constitution.
I Who is it that will dictate compromises ofthis kind,
and give to the Constitution its character under
their operation? Will it be the m nority ? Will it
be tixisc whose interests have suffered, and whose
1 interests arc in danger? No. sir. W believer con
stitutions have to be patched up by compromises,
j or to be changed by construction, depend upon it
such propositions will never come Iroin a ni tior.tt.
All expedients of that kind will proceed from n
; majority—tile majority who have the temptation
of interest to consult in giving character to the
institution** of the country,
i I ara unwilling to go further into tins
debate at this time, except to protest
against this mode of attempting to influ
ence the deliberations of another assem
bly in my own sta e I was in hopes
that they would be allowed to deliberate
tlie great question which they are called
1 upon to consider fairly, and under aus
; pees favorable to the protection ofthose
whose rights have been violated, in my
i opinion, and whose political existence
will be doomed, if expedients of this
kind are to be “submitted to by those
who represent that section of the conn
try. Will the h ncrable gentleman tell
me that our instituctions are nut in dan
ger, when he tells u* that .the billows
ot the fn e-soil agitation are a ready
beating upon the base of the constitu
tion ! When he tells me that our con
stitution is in danger from agitation of
this kind, he expect to give me se
curly by having a rote in favor of meas
ures which I have heretofore denounced
and made war upon, and shall continue
to denounce and make war upon, as our
fathers made war on the Alien and Se
dition Laws, as long as I believe they
had been framed in a spirit unfavorable
and unfriendly to ll>e rights and institu*
iions of those whom I represent.
If this discussion had aot been com
menced, I do not think I should have
opened my mouth upon this subject
during this session of Congress, end I
have uttered these few sentences to let
the gentlman know my position, and to
let him know the opinions entertained
by more than mysell. it m'av be thet
by singing his peans to the Union he
may hush for a moment the tumult and
opposition of those who would never
have made war upon it if i- had not been
patched up and patched up by compro
mise, and compromise, and compro
mise! From whom do these compromis
es come? Never from th 3 weaker por
tion-
Fir, I believe that the Southern peo
ple are a doomed people it proceedings
of this kind are allowed to go forth.
God knows there is no man upon earth
who woo and go further than myself to
prevent anarchy, and hostility, and
blood,’and violence in th is a. e of reason,
intelligence, and wisdom to effect any
•reforms. It is alien to the gener .usspi
rit of our institutions and the spirit of t e
common law ot England, to effect any
reform by violence and civil war. But
if the Southern people and the Southern
Representatives are not more united,
I cannot answer for consqeuences. k lf
these measures, which are intended, I
suppose, to be somewhat improved by
this on lorsement, are intrinsically good,
I cannot perceive any advantage to be
derived from this resolution. It does
look to me very much as if the gentle
man was following the example of Ly
curgus, what after making law*, impos
ed on those who were to < bey them the
injunction that they were never to Jbe
changed—
Mr. Foote, of Mi sissippi. Until he
returned
Mr Butler. Perhaps the Senator is go
ing away, wishing to leave injunc
tions like those which Lycurgus left.
Mr. Foote, of Mississippi. I shall
certainly comeback. Lycurgus did not
return.
Mr. Butler. The gentleman, then, is
imitating Lycurgus. He does not wish
these laws to be changed until he does
come back ; and he says that he incom
ing- back.
Mr. Foote The difference is that Ly
curgus went away with the intention j
never to return, whereas I go animo re
vertendo , for I design returning in lit'le
Moie than a year from this time.
Mr. Butler. Then the gentleman in
tends, to be-superior to Lycurgus. He
is going to come back when he pleases.
Nothing can prevent him, not even
death itself. I understand that Lycur
gus went away expecting to die. I j
would not wish any such tate to befall
the gentleman ; but it is not for him to !
control his fate and to comeback whaft :
ever he pleases.
Mr. Foote. My Union-loving Legis
lature will send me back.
Mr. Butler. That is relying upon the
fidelity of your “faithful commoners ”
Mr. Foote: 1 do rely upon them.
Mr. Butler. I do not wish to protract
my remarks I may have occasion
when T have dehbera ed more upon the
subject to say something else. I would
wish to say nothing now inconsistent
with the gravity ofthe subject and what
should become the deliberations ot this
body. If the debate shall be contin ed
hereafter, I may take occasion to go in
to it fuliv.
[Mr. Foote rejoined in a speech tho
report of which we omit at his tequest,
in order that he may hare the opportun
ity of revising it.]
Without coming to a conclusion on
the subject.
The Senate adjourned.
Thirty-Second Congress—First Session
Washington, Dec. 9, 1851.
Se v ate. —Mr. Stockton presented a
petition from citizens of New Jersey,
asking the interposition of this govern
ment in behalf of Mr. John S. Thrasher
lately condemned and imprisoned af
ter a mock trial by the authorities of
Cuba.
Mr. Stockto 1 said that lie would, at
present wait f r information before ma
king any movement in the matter, and
with that view submitted a resolution
callin r upon the President to communi
cate ail the inform tion in his possesion
touchingthe imprisonment ofMr.Thrasn
er whi ‘h was adopted.
Mr. Hale introduc and a joint res lution
authorizing the President in interpose
friendly oilices with the French Repub
lic in behalf of Abdel Kader.
Mr. Shie ds moved to postpone the
resolution concerning the compromise
a ts, and to take up the resolution ex
tending a welcome to Kossuth.
Mr. Seward addressed the Senate at
length in support of the reso’ution.
Mr. Berrien opposed tho resolution
in a speech of an hour, the bearing of
which can be best condensed by giving
an amendment he proposed to 1 e added
to the resolution, which was as fol
lows :
“And be it further Resolved, That the
welcome thus offered t< Louis Kossuth
be extended to his associate Hungarian
exiles who have landed on our shores ;
but while welcoming these Hungarian
patriots to an asylum in our country,
and to the protection which our laws
will afford to them, it is due to candor
to declare that it is not the purpose of
Congres* to depart from the settled pol
icy ofthis Government, which forbids
all inters re nee with the domestic con
cerns of other na'ions.”
Mr. Hale ami Mr. Foote replied, and
in support ofthe resolution.
Mr. Miller advoca.ed the resolution
but disclaimed any idea of going be
yond a welcome to Kossuth, tlie ex
ile.
Mr. Sumner got the floor, and then
the Senate adjourned.
American and Fnglih Citizenship.
The report that Mr. U hn S. Thrash
er, a citizen ol tlie United States, guilt
less of crime even agui st Spanish law*,
has been sent to Spain a prisoner, is
confirmed. He sailed Iroin Havana on
tlie34th ult.,ina transport. Mr.Thrash
er rendered himself obnoxious to the
Cuban government by his kindness to
his unfortunate countrymen while they
were confined as prisoners in the Hav
ana dungeons. In reward for his hu
manity he is sent a prisoners to the
Spanish chain gangs, while his govern
ment tame v br>>oi<s the insult and out
rage. Is this the birthright of an Amer
ican citizen ?
Mr. W. Sidney Smith, the Secretary
of the British Consul nt Havana, also
distinguished hmself by his acts of gen
erosity and ‘kindness to the American
Prisoners. But under the protecting
aegis of his country’s flag he is safe
from Spanish vengeance, and on the
2gth ult., as we see by tlie accounts
from the island a beautiful service of
plate was presented to him by the young
men of New Orleans as a testimonial of
their gratitude for his kindness to their
captive eoqntrymen.
We also leant from Madrid, by
last vcconnts, that her most gracious
and extremly virtuous Majesty, Queen
Isabel, has been graciously pleased to
release [the twenty English prisoners
taken in the Lopez expedition. They
wer* equally guilty with our own coun
trymen, but thej alaimed citizenship of
a proud and spirited nation, that brooks
no insult to its flag or outrage upon its
people. Has not an Englishman a
right to be prond of his citizenship?

weak condition of my chest. And this’
must form my excuse to you for not
giving you such a reply as I could wish.
Besides which, the address from that
part of the people and country on which
stands the glorious f'ityof Monuments,
contains such sentiments. a§ to be pro
perly answered, as it deserves, would
require some aid from recollection :
but my present state of health is not
strong enough for me to remember.
I ermtt me. therefore, to make a few
unconnected remarks. If Ido not mis
take, the resolutions of the people of
Baltimore speak of some glory which
attaches to my name, and the merits
which you at ribnte to me. Allow me
to remark, that I consider the word
glory should be blotted out from the
dictionary, as respects individuals, and
should be used only in respect to nations.
For whatever any one man can do,
throughout the longest life, with the
sti ongest facul ies, and with the utmost
exertions that such a man can be capa- i
ble of, still whatever he can do, for his ‘
country or humanity, can never be I
more than his duty requires of him.—
■Still less would he merit the word glory
to be applied to him. I therefore re
peat, let man have but the wor t duty
applied to him, and let the word glory
be applied < illy to nations, because it
is a development of men’s destinies.—
We have arrived at a time when indi
vidual greatness must disappear as a
vain shadow, befor ■ the great spirit of
nations which is cal ed forth to attend
to and insure that lot to humanity, which
is destined to it bv God. I may have done
something: But if the light of a candle
spreads through a ruom, it is not the
merit of the candle-t'ck. And I was
hut the candlestick. The light came
from the spirit of freedom and was not
due to me. I may have placed it in the
corner of the room, but in a moment it
spreads : ts light everywhere through
out it. Permit me, while I acknowledge
the kindness ot the people of tho Un
ited St tes, treely to confess that I cam,:
not here to seek an asylum or a liappyr
home. I consider that, in the present
state of the world, to have been born a
citizen of the United Sta f es, is the great
est happiness and the proudest lot that
man can boast ot; but lam not in that
happy situation of being born a citizen
ofthis glorious land of liberty. And you
must not be displeased, if I say that, in
relation to my own poor country, op
pr ssed, broken down, and suffering as
she is now, I still love my own country
more than yours. lam but a feeble man,
and cannot raise myself to the height
of the Saviour if the world,Whose love
e r.braced alljhumanity.l love all human,
ity also,but still more do I love my homs-
Our Saviour was not on y man, but
God. I am but a poor mortal, but I
endeavored to act as a patriot. lam sure
that there is a God in Heaven, who is
our common farther, and having a com
mon father men are brothers to each
other, and when an honest man endea
vors to do his own duty to his own coun
try, as a patriot, he acts for the benefit
of all humanity.
I did not come here to seek a home,
but to look for some assistance towards
a victory of that principle of freedom
in my native land, now trodden down,
but rot broken, as I hope. I came here
for assistance to maintain that princi
ple on which you yourselves depend
for the maintenance oftyour institutions
and your government; being convin
c'd that the interests ot your great ‘
pie cannot be opposed to a principle
on which your own greatness depends.
I wdl, Ijeieafter, have an opportunity
to say more on this matter in detail.
I carne here to ask assistance for that
great principle for winch we have strug
gled and will struggle once more. I
am gratified by anticpation, from your
address that in the great city of Ba ti
more I may expect not only that sym
pathy, but the tn e meaning of tha’sym
pathy which made me come here. I
collect from your address that you
have paid such attention to the cause
of Hungary as not tojmisunderstand it.—
For although I feel that the true cause
of Hungary is more diflused here than
elswhere, it is sti I much mis understood.
I. have last night read a report of what
took place iri the Senate of the United
States, where? a gentleman said that
the struggle in hungarv was not for
principles of liberty a km to your own,
but lor o.ijr an it nt charters, ‘i his is
a mistake. There was something more
in the struggle of Hungary. We were
struggling lor our ancient rights. We
were for self-government, as the an
! cient right of H ngary. Aright which
I they possessed fora thousand years.—
j A right which had been insured by our
I Charter and the oaths of thirty kings
all of whom had sworn to maintain and
secure it. But it became a dead letter,
i and before our revolution we struggled
| peacefully to restore it. In the Legis
lature of 1848 we struggled to obtain
I some practical guarantee of the an
i cient rights of Hungary. Such as we
| considered necessary to insure cur
rights and be a practical benefit, and
not merely a dead letter. Vi e so far
struggled for our ancient r ghts, but in
;;o other respects. For alth ugh our
lights have been registered by the oaths
of thirty kings, it amounted to little, be
cause the whole people were not inter
ested in maintaining it, as no constitu
tional rights could be exercised but by
one class. I beg leave to remark, —
not to you, because you understand it,
but because this is a public opportun
ity to do sq—that those rights were re
stricted not to persons ot certain origin
but to a class ; not to the Magyars, who
came from Asia a thousand years back.
Many inhabitants were descend
ed from Scha’.vcs, Croats and Germans.
But all except a class were deprived
of any 7 constitutional rights I by chance
ot fate was one of that class. But they
could not be sufficient to preserve the
rights ofthe country against the aris
tocracy of the House of Austria. And
there was never a single man, in any
century- of the House of /> ust/ia. wh u .
was not an enemy to the great question
ofthe rights ofthe people.
Our object was that those rights should
nit be exercised by one class only
that it should be exercise and by and for
thfc common benefit of all, and it we
th view of our revolution to place
them op the broad basis of all countries
without destruction of what tongue they
spoke. I will not now enter into a de
tail of the subject, but will only sajr
that when we established liberty it was
j for the whole country, and that every
I olass should, have an equal share iu
i public employments and public educar
j tion, and that everything should be da
| prived from the great foundation of tho
people.
I say that I came not focre to fl n j
asylum or a happy home. For,the fo
ture I will devote my life to tho” resur
rection of my nation. I desire to restore
to Hungary that sovereign right, that
1 fundamental fight which every n tiou
has to dispose of herself. 4 n£ l if Pro
vylence again places pie i|i it sirnular
position I will take care no new treas
lon sha 1 .Aiawgary. I was
’ not anxious to a-sume on my humble
j shoulders any duly, without having the
: conviction that I could answer for that
duty. Then foie I did not take upoj}
myself the direction p{ or
! mi itary affairs, as 1 could not answer
j for such duties as well as I could for
others, and 1 was afraid jthat my coun
j try or history, or my pvyp conscience,
would pain me w ith nurturing fepHnjf
j that it I had not undertaken things which
I did not understand, they might have
turned out more happy. Therefore f
did not undertake to carry out all tho
Stratigetical or ipilitafv mattefs qf all
Hungary, but confide it to others
But I have since seen hat no man can
penetrate the secrets >t the human
heart, or see howjambj op can sweep
away every virtuefin tin Character of a
j man. I have, however, < leavored to
! profit by what has happen*?*!, and now
rely only on my God, to remain qii;
[ shaken by misfortune or broken down
by calumnies. In future I shall keep
! things in my own hands and I am sure
•hat T shall npyer become a Monk or a
: Napoleon or use the confidence <>l mv
: people to enslave them. I shall nev
er be deceived again but will take hood
| that our future struggles shall not be
| destroyed by treason. I must advert
!to anolhar matter,the fear of Russia slip
! not that giant she is described to bo
j She i§ a large inflated body, standing
! upon ’,vepk feet. She has a prestige of
j greatness, but tiiqt >yill be broken. J
do not consider the people of Russia
as the enemies of my nation. ‘1 hejr
j are part qf humanity, and then the spu
pf freedom must one dav riso o ’er
them. I consider them my brothers,
but in their present state they are noth
ing but the tool of an arrogant, ambi
tions despot.who blasphemou.-l v claims
a right from Heaven t<> put his foot on
the Magyar’s neck. The danger to us
from Russia is not firm htr greatness
but from her being so near us. She i£
w ithin thirty hours’-march of Hungary,
and can pour in her armies on us be
fore our nation could be disciplined pr
organize a force to p;cct her. There
fore I do come and humbly ask from
the United .Mates, not to enter into a
national war Tor Hungary, but to pre
vent Russian interference. H r hy may
Ino t hope for it ? If there is any thing
whi ch the U. States is most attached to;
it is to the common principle of non-in
terference. 11 is doctrine to be found iq
the message of your Presidents, in tho
reports ot Congress, and is recognized
by you not as a changeable but an
everlasting principle.
It is to be fqund in the speeches and
writings of Washington, and some o t
your principal members of Congress,
who all lay down the principle that ev
ery nation has a right to alter its own in
stitutions and that no power on earth
lias a right to interfere with the sover
eign people. I could write books from
the speeches of your Presidents and the
writing's of your great men, and the in
struetions given to your diplomatic
agents, to show that all of you unite in
this great principle. Bin of what value
is it to recognize a principle ifmen mav
everv day violate it and there is one
to protect , t. I could point out the opin
ions of the greatest statesmen of the
United States to show precisely how it
concerns you to maintain that great in
ternational law of Inimaniiv. As vour
private citizens possess Certain rights,
the Tinted States are placed in the same
situation as respects other countries ns
is every individual of the United States
m respect to the laws of thq country.
I do not ask you for a fleet or an„r._
We will tight tor ourselves. But let uh
have bur play But I hope that vou
flunk it your duty to prevent any * intern®,
tion. Ibis would be no new thin". When
the Spanish colonies were strug-diim for thei •
independence, the United States sari that if
any European power interfered you would
oppose it With all your force. England then
united with you as a just Government, i„
support of the great international law of na
tions. Will tin*, republic of the United
States maintain that principle now, or will
they not maintain it, because—l cannot snv
why. As to the distance’between yo,, and
Europe, there are parts of your own territo*
nes farther from you than Europe. The
present development of distance is not a sen
“ration between you. But there is, on tha
contr; ry, a close connection between yoij’
as regards your privet* interests, and nari'’
enlarly those of Now York, which makes the
men ot the United States more interested in
Europe than m some parts of America. Sup
pose Ihe people of Cuba a rose to chanl;

England, r ranee, or Portugal, sent a fleet to

would the people ofthe United States per

this, and Hungary is eighteen. U that a prin

yon, that you may be assured of my entire
appreciation ofthe value of this manifestation

w inch is m that perfect harmony which
-mould prevail in a free country between tha
constituent body and the people. Because
every public matter must ari c from the peo

I will go to Baltimore. But there is no use

you, that I can take from your address a pro -f
that when Igo to Baltimore, I will find the
spirit of the people of Baltimore as efficient
as their words. 1 have no egotism, for niv
