Tho third toast was to this effect: The Army of the United Stales.—By the sa- I Vito which was given to the illustrious guest It manifested a magnanimous courtesy, and added grace to tlio glory ofils history. Senator Shields responded, and, referring to the gneat of tlio-occnsioh said that tho can non alluded to spoke the voice of twenty-flvo millions of 'people.- That voice lmd a mean Ing, and was a significant salute, not only to a man Louis Kossuth, but to tlio great princi plo lie’ represents and advocates—hatlolml nnd.lmman liberty. An Irishman by birth and an American by adoption, lio (Mr. Shields) would bo untrue to tho character of both if ho withheld his sympathy and good will from Jiim whom wo had met to honor; andftom tbejustcauseuf tho Hungarian p;o- plo. Tho President of tlio Senato, non, W.

Having proved herself worthy to bo free, by tlio valor nnd virtno of hor sons, the laws of nations and tho dictates ofjnstice alike demand that she shall have (klrplny in her struggle for Independence. Tho toast was' received with tromendons cheers, when M. Kossuth rose, and spoko as follows: Sin: As once C.vncas, tho Epirote stood nmougtlio senators of Rome, who, with an carnestword of solf-conscioiis majesty, cun- trolled the condition of tho'world, and arrest- edmighty kings iu their ambitious march— thus, full of admiration nnd of reverence, I stand amongst you, legislators of the; new Capitol, that glorious hall of your Punple's collective majesty. The Capitol of old yet stands, but the spirit lias daparted from It, anil come over, to yours, purified by the air of liberty; The old stands a -mournful monu ment oftiw fragility of human things; yonrs as a sanctuary of eternal rights. The old beamed with tho red lustre of conquest, now darkoned by oppression's gloomy night; yours beams with freedom’s bright my- The 'old absorbod-the-world by lfs- own centralized glory; yours protects your own nation absorptioii, even by itsolf. j The old only introduued with fettered hands, to'kneel at triumphant.conqueror'a hcols; to yoilra the triumph' of Introduction la granted to unfortunate exiles invited to tho honur of a scat. And whore kings and Caesars never will ho hailed for. their power, might, and wealth, there tho , persecuted ohlcfofa down trodden nation la welcomed as your great Republic’s guest, precisely because ho is persecuted, helpless, and poor. In tho old, the terrible va vielit was tho rulo. In yours, protection to tiro oppressed, malediction to ambitious oppressors, and consolation to a vanqulshcd-Just cause. And while ottt of the old a conquered world was ruloil you In yours provide for tho common fedumtiva Interests of a territory larger than the conquered world of tho old. There rat luen boasting their will to bo the sovereign of tho worlfl; hero sit men whoso glory Is to acknowledge tho laws of Nature and of Nnturo's God, nnd to do what their sovereign, tho Pooplc, ■wills. Sir, there Is history In those parallels.. His tory o' past qges nnd history oflUturc cen turies mny bo often recorded In few words.—, Tho small particulars to which tho passion of living men clings with fbrvcnt zeal, as If tho fra jlle fingers of men could arrest tho rotation of Destiny's wheel—these particulars die away; It Is the Issue which makeshtstory, and that issue is always logical. There Is a necessity of consequences wherever tho necessity of position exists. Principles are tlio alpha ; they must fiulsli with omega, and they wllli Thus history mpy bo told often In few words. Before yet the heroic strogglo of Grcoco llrst engaged vpnr country’s sympathy for tlio fete of freedom In Europe, then so for distant and now so near Chateaubriand hapjicncd to be In Alliens, and he heard from a minaret, raised n;)on llie Propyleum’sruins a Turkish priest In Arable language announcl g, tho lapse of hours to tlio Christians of Min- rvn'r town. What imhienso history In thd small diet of a Turkish Imam crying out, Pray pray the hour Is running fhst, and tho judgment draws near 1" Sir, there Is equally n history of ftituro ages written In tho honor bestowed liy yon to my humble self. The first Governor of Inde pendent Hungary, driven from his natlvo land liy Riisslan violence ; an exile on Turk ish soil protected by a Mahometan Sultan against the blood-tlirist of Christian tyrants; cast hack a prisoner to far Asia by diplomacy; rescued from his Asiatic prison by America crossing tho Atlantic charged with tlio- hopes of Europe's oppressed nations;' pleading, poor exile,_heforo tho people of this great Republic Iris down-trodden country's wrongs nnd its Intimate connection with tho fate uf tho European continent, nnd. with tlttMmid ness ofajust cause, claiming tho principles of tho Christian religion to bo mined to a law of nations; and to sec not only tho boldness of tlio poor exile forgiven, but to sco him con soled by tho sympathy of millions, cttcoumg- ed by Individuals, associations, meetings, cities and States; supported by operative aid and greeted by Congrosn and by. Govern meat ns the nation's guest; honored out of generosity with that honor which only ono man before him received them out of gratl- t tide; with honors such ns no potentate ever can receive; and this-banquet hero, nnd tho toast which I havo to thank for—oh 1 Indeed, sir, there is a history of future ages in : all these facts; they will go down to posterity In the logical consequences of principles which nre tho fnundatlon’of these facts. Sir, though I havo tho noblo prlilo of my principles nnd though I havo tho Inspiration nfnjust cause, still I havo also tho conscience of my personal humility. Ncvor will I forget What Is due from me to tho sovereign sourec of my public capacity. This I owo tomy na tion’s dignity; and therefore respcctftilly thanking this highly distinguished assembly in my country's name. I have tlio boldness to say that Hnngnry well deserves your sympa thy—that Hungary has a claim to protection, because jt has a claim to jitstico. But as to my own fiumblo self, permit mo humbly to express that l am'well awaio not to havo in nil these honors any personal' share. Nay, I know that even that which might socm to be licrsonn! in your toast is only on acknowlodg. ment of a historical fact, very instructively conucctcd with aprinclplc valuable aud dear -to every republican heart in tho United Slates ol'Amcrica, Sir. yuu wore pleased to mention In your toast that I am uncunqucrcd by misfortune and unseduced by umbitlon. Now, It is a providential fact that misfortune has the privilege to ennoble man’s miiid, and to strengthen insn's charecter, There Is a sort .of,naTferat Instinct of human dignity In tho heart of man, which steels his very nerves not to bend beneath (he heavy blows of great adversities. Tlio palm tree grows best henealh a |K>ndurnux weight. Even so tho character ufiiinn. There is no merit in it. It Isa law of |isychology. Tho petty pangs of small daily cares lmvo often bent the character of men, lint great misfortune seldom. There is less danger in this than In great luck, Audus to ambition I indeed never was able to understand luiw anybody can more love ambition than liberty. But I am glad tos'tatc a historical fact, ns a principal cle- moi station of that influence which. Institu tions exereiso upon the chntuutor of na tions. Tile Hungarians are vbry fond of tho ptin clplc of municipal. self-government, and we have a natural horror against the principle of centralization. That fond aJtobhwifpt to municipal solf government, without which there'la rio provincial frcctlo n possible, is'a fhndamentul feature ofouir national character. We Drought it wllh us (Yom for Asia a tlibn sand years ago. arid wo conserved It through, oht tlio vicissitudes often centurlos, No' nn- tirin has perhaps somucli struggled and suf fered from the civilized Christian world as we. We do not complain of this lot, It may bo honyy, but It' Is n6t. inglorious. Whorq tho cradlo of our Saviour stood, and whore his divine doctrine was 1 of Constantine. If, Mopped those rushing without which tlfero Is no hopcforlhls bnppyj So much to.guard me against mlsirader- [ waves. Tlio breast of my nation 1 proved n breakwater to them. Wo guarded Christen dom, that Luthers and Calvins might reform It. It was a dangerous time, and the dangers of tho tlmo often placed tho confidence of nil my nation into ono man’s hand; -and that confidence gave power Into his hands tu.hb- come ambitions. But tlicro was riot a sin gle instance tn onr history whore a man, hon ored by Ills pcoplo’a confidence, lmd deceived Ills people by becoming ambitious. Tlio mauout of whom Russian diplomacy succeed- cil to maka the murderer of Ills nation’s con fidence—ho never had It, but was rnthor re garded always with distrust. But hu gained some victories when victories were tlifi. mo- ment’s chief necessity. At the head of nn army, circumstances,placed him in the. ca pacity to ruin his country. But ho novar had the people’s coflderico. 8o even ho ts no cnntr diction to tho historical truth, tlirit no Hungarian whom Ids nation honored with Its confidence was ever seduced by ambition to become dangurous to hiscauutry’a liberty. That Is a remarkable fhet and yet it Is not accidental; U is tho logical conscquouco of tho Influenco of Institutions npan the nation al character. Our nation, through all Its his tory, won educated In the school of munici pal self government and In such a country ambition, having no field, has also no placo In man’s character. Tho truth of this doctrlno becomes yet more illustrated by a qnlto contrary histori cal feet In ftnnce. Whatever have been the changes of Government in that great country —and many they have brien to bo sure—wo have seen a convention, a directorate, consuls, nnd ’ono consul, and an Emperor, anil tho restoration, and tho citizen King, and tlio Re. public. Through all these different experi ments. centralization was the fundamental tone of the institutions of France—power nl ways centralized omnipotence always vested somewhere. And remarkably. Indpqd; franco has never yot raised ono alnglu man to tha scat of power who has not sncljoed his country's freedom to his personal ambition 1 It is sorrowful. Indqgfl. but It Is natural. It is In tho gatden of centralization where the venomous plant of ambition thrives. I daro confidently nfllrm, thntln your great country there exists not a single man through whoso brains has ever passed tho’ thought that ho would wish to raiso the scat of Ills ambition upon tho ruins of your oounlry’a liberty, If ho could. Such a wish Is Impossible In the United 8tatos. Institutions react upon thn character of nations, no who sows Wind will reap storm. History is tho revelation c,f Pfivldciicc. Tho Almighty rules, by eternal laws, not truly the material but tho moral world; and ovory • law Isir- prlnclplo,"and ev ery principle Is a law. Men, as well as na tions, are endowed With ftce will to cliooso a principle; but that onco chosen, tlio conse quences roust bo abided. With solf.goVonitncnt is freedom' and with ftoedom Is justice and patriotism. -Wllh cen- sralization is ambition, nnd with ambition dwollsdcspotism. Happy your great country, sir. for being so warmly addinted to thntgrcat principle nfself-govemmcnt. Upon tills found ation your fotlicrs’ raised a homo to freedom more glorious than tho world has ever soon. Upon this foundation you have dovelopod It-tonliving wonder of tho world.. Happy your great country, sir, • that it was selected by blessing of tlio Lord to provo the glorious practicability of a federative union of many Sovereign States all conserving their Slate rights and their self government , nnd yot uni ted one—every star beaming with Its own lus tre, but altogether, ouo constellation on man kind.; - , .; ' , Upon this foundation your freo country has grown to n prodigious power In a surprisingly brief period—attracting power iri that, your ftindamcntal principle Yon have conquered by It more in seventy-five years Ilian Romo by arms In centuries. Your principles will con quer tho world. By the glorious example of your freedom, welfare, and security, mankind )s about to become conscious of It* aim. The lesson you give to humanity will not bo lost. " Tlio respoct for State rights In tho Federal Government of America and In Its several States, will become an Instructive example for universal tolomtion: forbearance and jus tice to the frituro States and Republics of Eu rope. U;xm this basis will be got rid of the mischievous question of language nationali ties raised by cunning despotism in Europe to murder liberty with. Smaller Slates will find security in thoiirinclplo of federative union, while they will consorvo tlielr national freedom by the principle of sovereign self- government; and while larger States, abdicat ing the principle of centralization will cense to he a liloodflold to sanguinary usurpation, and a tool to tiio ambition of wicked men, municipal institutions will insure the devel opment of local particular elements; freedom, formerly an abstract political theory will be come the household bonoflt to municipalities; and; out of the welfare rnd contentment of all parts, will flow happiness, peace and security, for the whole.
