would not be an honest man if 1 were not,
in every country of the world, to respect
those principles towardsother men. (cheers)
Allow me, citizens, to advert to one ex
pression of your kind address, which is
rather a delicate matter to me, and in re
gard to which I hope you will not misun
derstand me. You have named me, in
the beginning of your address," Kossuth,
governor of Hungary." Now, citizens,
my lot is a curious one. Never was there
a man in the world more fond of tran
quillity and of a retired kilo than myself;
and never,, thus far in my life, have 1
been able to enjoy this happiness for a
single moment. 1 have not been able to
enjoy it, because I always consider the
duty of the patriot to be first and para
mount, and that only after that are to
'come individual .wishes, individual inch
' nations. My nomination to the high sta
tion of governor of Hungary was not to
gratifyindeed, an ambitious purpose ;
know no other ambition than t hat of not
being ambitious, (applause;) and 1 declare
I that never, perhaps, in my life did 1 feel
more sad than at the moment when I was
named governor of Hungary, because I
considered my feeble faculties of mind
and the high duties laid upon my feeble
shoulders, and I was almost afraid of the
high responsibilities of that great station.,
It is, theretere, not of ambition that 1
thank you for the work you have assigned'
to me in naming me governor of Hungary ;
but I thank you for it because the tic.'
knowledgment, on the part of the people
of the United States, whom I have the I
' honor to address, is an acknowledgment
lof the rightful existence of the declara
tion of independence of Hungary. (Cheers.)
And, gentlemen, 1 fraulkly declare that
,1 believe the. people of the United States
are bound, in honor and in duty, to re
cognise this declaration of independence
as a righteously-existing fact, because your
very existence reposes on a similar decla
ration. (Hear, hear.) This declaration
of the independence of Hungary is the
only existina ° public law of my nation.
It was not the proclamation of a single
man, nor of a party; but it was the sol
emn declaration of the whole nation in
Congress assembled, as your lerelialiers
were assembled to put forth your own
glorious Declaration of Independence. It
was sanctioned by every village—by
every municipality—of the whole coun
try. It is the declaration of Hungary,
and no counter-pronunciation from uiy ,
people has ever yet come forth to, the
world. Hence 1 have a right to say that
the declaration of independence of Hun
gary exists rightfully, in its full power of
right and lawful existence. What is there
contrary to its existence? Contrary to it
is the fact that the Czar of Russia—a for
eign power, as you know, which had no
right to intern eddle with Hungarian of
forts—had the ambitious design to thrust
upon us his allegiance; and, finding a
traitor for an ally, in our own ranks, he
trampled upon the liberties and national
existence of Hungary. Now, gentlemen,
what warrant has violence to annihilate
right? Violence can establish it fact con
trary to law--contrary to right ; but vio
lence never can destroy the rightful sou rce
of this declaration of mdeperdence. (Hour,
hear.)
Take, for instance, the glorious strug
gle, you bud not twig agO with Mexico, in
which,General Scott drove out the Presi
dent Of that republic from his capital.
Now, 'suppose General Santa Anna had
come to Washington and driven away
President Tay ler, would General Taylor
have ceased to be the rightfully eleeted
President of the United States, from the
fact that a foreign power had, for a mo
ment, forced hini to 'leave his ;place? I
believe there
,is not a single man in the
United States who would say . yes. The
violence of Santa Anna even in that case
would not have annihilated the sovereign
right of the people of tho United 'States to
choose their owr. President." And 'if this
be so, 1 have most certainly the right to
say that it is a duty of consistency and
logic for the people' of the United States
to recognise the declaration of the inde
pendence ot*Hungary . as existing law;
as the only existing public law of Mrpoor

Ladies and gentlemen : Tho twelve
hours that I have had the honor and hap

give me a happy augury of the fact that
during my stay here in . tthe United States
I shall have a pleasant duty to pertbrin—
to answer the many man' fiAntions of the
generous public spirit of the.. people of
this country. [Cheers.] I hope, however,
that you will be so kind as to take into
consideration the circumstance that I am
in the first moments of „ a hard task, and
more partieularly hard to me, because I
shall have to add •ess your enlightened
and intelligent peopll in a tongue foreign
to me. You will not expect from me a
long and elaborate speech, but will be
Contented' with a few warmly:uttered,
warmly-felt words of thankfulness and
gratitude to you. [Cheers.] Citizens,
accept my fervent thanks for your gener
ous welcome on my arrival to your happy
shores, and my blessing upon you for
the sanction of my hopes which you ex
press. You have most truly expressed
what my hopes are, when you tell me
What you consider the destiny of your gin-
rious country to be—when you tell me
that henceforth the spirit of liberty shall
go forth and achieve th , 3 freedom of the
world. [Cheers.]
Yes, citizens, these are the hopes that
have induced me, in a most important and
eventful period, when every moment may
be the turning-point in Europe's destiny, to I
cross the Atlantic ocean, but intending!
to hasten back to the field of duty sooner
than I would otherwise proprose—sooner,
perhaps, even than 1 would like to do. 1
confidently , hope, citizens, that as you
have anticipated my wishes by the ex
pression of your generous serebnents, even
so will you agree with too in the convic
tion, that the spirit of liberty has not only
•
spiritually ut materially to go forth from
your glorious country, in order that it
may achieve the freedom of the world.
The spirit itself is the inspiring power to
deeds, but yet no deed in itself; and you
need not be told that those who would be
free must, besides being inspired, also
"strike the blow." [Loud cheers.] Des
potism and oppression never yet were
beaten except by heroic resolution, and
vigorous, manly resistance. That is a
sad necessity, but it is a necessity never
theless. I have so learned it out of the
great book of history. I hope the:people
of the United States will remember that,
in the hour of their nation's glorious strug
they received from Europe more than I
kind. wishes and friendly sympathy. They
:received material aid from others in times I
.past, and they will doubtless impart now '
their mighty agency in achieving the lib
erty of other lands.
The speaker who has egplained your
sentiments gave me the assurance before
I had appealed to your sympathies, that
the independence of Hungary is not only a
benefit to Hungary itself, but an indispen
sabla condition to the freedom of the Eu
ropean continent.
Citizens, I thank you that you have ad
dressed me through your speaker, not in
the language of party, but in the language
„of liberty, and therefore the language of
the people of the United States, [great
cheering;] because, as I told the people of
England, and as I now repeat it to the peo
ple of America, frankly and openly, I de-
Sire to see respected the right of every
nation to dispose its own dortestie con
cerns; therefore, I myself have felt reso
lute in every place, in every country, to
respect that principle. Hence I come not,
here to the United States to into-meddle
With your
. internal concerns. You are,
the sovereign masters of your fate. I
come hither in the name of my down-trod
den, but not broken people. ,[Cheers.] I
come hither humbly to entreat, in the
name of Hungary, the generous protec
tion of the people of no party in theSe
United States. (Cries of " Good, good.")
But, citizens, having the consciousness
that I have never spoken, in my whole
life; a single word which ,I have, not felt
from the bottom of my. heart, I am sorry
to see that-the declarations which I have
made so often and sri solemnly in England,
and to which I was,happy to find that the
people of this country had given a: kind
regard, were not sufficient to prevent me,
even before my arrival, from belt% charg
ed with meddling with your domestic con
'cerns,---namely, with the question of your
presidential eleefionu--because it so .hap
petted ...dtat,' ,- in..one of my nddresses in
England, I mentioned the ,name of one of
yoar honorable fellow citizens, Mr. Walk

ingt‘,ry and Eurepo arn4
t lierelorn I feel deopq
merit nt all, but only that of being a
plain, straightforward man,a faithful friend

And 'these qualities, gentlemen, are, se;
natural to every honest man, tiit: ft is
scarcely worth .while: to speak of them,
because I cannot cenceiVe how a man with'
undertandimr with a sound heart; can be
anything else than a good patriot,,a. lover
'of freedom, an honest man.
But yet, after all, my humble capacity
i
has not preserved me from calumnies.,
I can well say of myself, as O'Connell
once said of himself, that I am at this'
time the " best-abused man" in the world.
(Voices; " Oh, no ! Oh, no !") Well,
gentlemen, 1 do not care much about
(Laughterd So long as despots exist in
the world, and despots can find the means
to pay, they „will find men to' calumniate
those who are opposed to despotism! and,
tyranny. Therefore, I cam not much
aboin it ; because, suppose I were the 1•
most dishonest creature in the world, I
beg you, in the name of all that is sacred,
to tell me what would that matter In res
pect to the cause of Hungary? Would
that cause become less just, less righteous,
less worthy of your sympathy, because I,
for instance, am a had roan? (Cries of
" NO','no.") No! I believe it. It is not
a question in regard to any individual
here. It is a question in regard to a just
cause—of a country worthy to take its
place in the great family of free nations of
the world. I care not much, therefore,
about these calumnies. Scarcely had I
arrived here when I wrietpld that I was
charged here in the 'United States with
being an irreligious man, Nov, - gentle , .
men,that is sacred ground, and I arrfsome
what sensitive upon that mutter ; but I
will nevertheless say that, as a good
Christian, whose first moral principle is
" love thy neighbor as thyself," I only
wish that that man who charges me with'
being an irreligious man may, with res
pect to this first great principle of Chris
tianity, stand with as open a filen before
the tribunal of our Supreme Judge as I
confidently hope that I will stand. (Great
cheering.)
Again I say, I do not care much about
this matter; but one thing I can scarcely
comprehend, that the PR ESS-t hat mighty
vehicle of justice and champion of human
' rights—could. have found an organ, even
in the United States, which, leaving per
sonal calumnies aside, should bring re
proach upon itself so far as to assert that
it was not the people of Ilungary—not
myself and lily companions who fought
for liberty—but that it was the Emperor
of Austria who was the champion of lib
erty? (Three groans?) Don't give it
groans, gentlemen, (laughter,) but rather
thank it ;for there can be no better ser-
vice to any cause than the manifestation
of the fact that its opponents have nothing
to say but such ridiculous—l do not
know what in the world to call it. That
must be a sacred and a just cause whose
opponents have no other attack upon it to
make than the assertion that the Fanperor
or Austria is the champion of freedom
throughout the European countries! (Great
Ilaughter.) I thank you that you have
gi‘en ate full proof of it, that all the cal
umnies of these assertions have affected
neither your judgment nor your heart.
(Cries of "No! nor)
I have heard with great pleasure the
expression of your views in your address,
which prove that you have tfiv en an at
tentive and kind investigation to the true
nature of the cause of Hungary, and to
those principles which I profess. I ex
pect and desire nothing else. I desire
only that the glaring eye of the people of
the United states should be pleased to
read from that open book of my country's
history a faithful narration of the nation's
struggles ; and I want no advocate to re
commend the cause of Hungary to your
attention. That cause will sufficiently re- I
commend itself.
Gentlemen, it was not my ink:Mull to
have spoken so much ; awl badly enough
I have spoken it, I suppose. (Cries of
good! good ! Go on !) No, my dear sir,
I cannot go on, chiefly bccauso 1 shall
huvo to speak to-morrow, and the day af
ter to-morrow, and I do nut knowiww
many morn times to-day. (Laughter.) I
am the worst sailor in the world. I have
suffered very much in crossing the ocean,
nd have not slept for many nights., My
bodily strength is broken ; but, notwith
standing; I give you my word that when
the time comes for the taking up again of
my nation's cause I will not be sick, but
Will stand in my place, on the battle-field,
as an honest man, because the. body must
then. obey the call of the spirit. (Cheers.)
Then let me once more repeat ,to you

THE STEAMSHIP •PROMETHEUS—ALLEGED
BRITISH OUTRAGE,
The following letter from Capt. Church
ill, detailing the Circiunstances of titc , l
firing into the PromethottS by nn' EngliSh
brig-of-war, will be read with interest.
It is but a short time since the United States
mail-steamship Falcon was fired at by a
Spanish steamer on the coast of 'Cubtf.—
A sfiffilar summary process has now keen
resorted to by an English naval officer,
apparently under the auspices of his Ma
jesty the Mosquito King. Can the admin
istration find time in any' way to indicate
the opinion that such treatment of the
America flag is,net altogether proper?
STEAMSHIP PROMETHEUS,
San Juan, Friday, Nov. 21, 1851. t
In order to correct any misstatement
that may he made of the circumstances of
the English brig-of-war Express firing in
:o the Prometheus,'l be;; of' you to give
the following statement au insertion in your
paper:
At 2, P. M., I preceeded to get my ship
under way to proceed to sea, having just
received the last of our passengers from'
the Pacific steamer, numbering in all aboUt
live hundred. At this moment, the *City
authorities of Grey Town 'constituted; as
they stated, by the,authority of the Mos
quito King—came on board the ship with
a police force, and served a process of tit-
tachment on the ship and myself for the
amount efsl23, claimed 'by the author
ities for present and arrearage'port dues
charged on' the ship, which we supposed
to be illegally demanded, and had' conse
quently refused to pay them, as I did in
the present instance.
The port dues - aro made up fiom 'the
weight of anchorage in the harbor, captain
of the poles fees, and pilotage.
I hove up my anchor and dropped down
the harbor with the current, havint , along
side one of the river steamers, receiving
from her the baggage of the passengers.,
The English brig-of-war, lying a short!
distance from us, immediately got under I
way, made sail for us, and, when within a
quarter of tt mile fl.om us, fired a round
shot over our forecastle, not clearing the
wheel-house over ten feet. In a few mo
ments another shot was fired, which pass-I
ed over the stern so near that the force of
the ball was distinctly felt by several pus
senders. I sent a boat - onboard thg„brig
,to inquire the cause of the "firing into us.
The captain stated it was to protect the
a uthorittes of Gray Town in their demands;
and if We did not immediately anchor he
would fire a bomb-shell into us, and order
'ed his guns loaded with grape and can
ister shot; at the same time our small stea
mer left us, and I proceeded under steam
back to our anchorage and anchored. The
brig stood up the harbor and anchored
very near us, sent a boat on board of ,us
with orders that our tires should be put
out, and that an officer would be scat to
see [hut the fires werevxtinguished. The
shore authorities thei i t came on board, and,
under the circumstances of the case, the
amount demanded was paid under protest,
and we were permitted to proceed to sea
by the captain of the brig.
Respectfully, your obedient servant,
HENRY CHURCHILL,
Captian of Steamship Prometheus,
STATISTICS OF HUNGARY
Hungary has a territory of 126,000

000. it is divided as follows :
I. Hungary proper, including civil Scla
vonia, Croatia, and the Heyduke districts.
2. Transylvania. 3. The Military Fron
ties. All these countries are, legally, parts
of the Kingdom of Hungary, and are sub
ject to the King of Hungary, who, merely
ny chance, happens to be Emperor of
Austria. Ho is not necessarily so—any
more than a King of England is necessa
rily King of Hanover. The following is
a more accurate description of the whole
Kingdom of Hungary.
Hungary proper comprehends—
1. Eleven Cornitats or Counties beyond
or west of the Danube, containin g 2,000,-
000 of people.
2. Thirteen counties on this sjdo or east
of the Danube, with nearly- - 3;0130,000 of
people.
3. Eleven counties on this side of the
river Theiss and Tibiscus, with 2,000,.
000
4. Twelve counties beyond the Theiss,
including the Banat, with 2,500,000.
. '5: Sclavonia, with three counties, Syr
mitt, Verooz, and Posega, and 500,000
people.
6. Croatia and SeparatoDistricts, Thus

THE NEXT COIL COMMISSIONER
Cot.. J. W. FORNEY, Dear Sir :—Our
State election being over, and having . ter
minuted most auspiciously for the Demo
cratic party, it may be proper and appro
priate, to direct public attention to the se
lection of the next Democratic candidate
for Canal Commissioner. It is conceded
on all hands, that the next nominee for
that station, as thq, successor of the Hon.
John A. Gamble,. whose term ofo ll ice will
expire next year, should be one of the
true and tried Democracy of Northern
Pennsylvania. In consideration of this
lila, the name of Cot. Lava L. TATE, of
Columbia county, will be presented fur
nomination, to the Fourth of March Demo.'
eratic State Convention.
Without reflecting upon the writs of
others, it may not bo amiss to remark, that
few men in the North hate stronger claims
upon the Democracy or his native State,
than has Col. TATE. lie has served the
public faithfully, as a Democratic Editgr,
without asking any remuneration' Ibr his
' labors, for the past twenty years ; always
yielding an active and efficient support to
the great princip'es of the party, and COT
dia Iy sustai ng'regula r Democratic nomi-
nations. Nor will it he saying too much,
to mention, that, iu the late contest, his
untiring efforts contributed much, toward
the glorious redemption of Pennsylvania.
Col. T.,, possesses, in a high degree, all
the requisite qualifications for the office ofd
Canal Commissioner. He is thoroughly
acquainted with our Internal Improvement
