From the many | paragraphs going the rounds of Iho papers,-wa wore induced to the belief his mission would be a failure; and that his knowledge of the policy of our Govern men! was limited, and excited in his breast that could not, will) safely to ourseWcs, bo realized. The mist has been cleared away—wo were mistaken in the man and his object, and fool assured wo speak the sentiments of nine-toritlis of those who have read this Incomparable speech, when wo say that ho has not. only captivated us by his eloquent appeal,' bul convinced us that the policy of the United States is just sueh as lie desires it should bo towards all tho 1 oppressed nations of tho earth who have fought for and* obtained from their cruel task mas. tors, that freedom we so eminently enjoy. 1 The propositions ho argues with so much ability, brollidsd i First, That; feeling interested in the maintenance of the laws of nations, acknowledging the sovereign right of every peopla to dispose of its own domestic concerns.to be.one of these laws, and the interference with,this sovereign right to be-a violation* of these laws ofnaiionsy tlio people.of the United Stales—re. solved, to respect and to make.respected those public ) a wg_dectarcs the Russian past intervention in-Hun. gary-to be a vioislion of these laws, which, ifrqitori alcd, would bo a now, yioMion, and would pot bo regarded indifferently by (ho people of .the .United •3inu«_iUni you. therefore, invite vour government to .act accordingly, and so Invito to unilo with (ho United Stales'in this policy. Second, That- tho people of the United States is resolved lo majntuin, its righl of comm/rdal inter course with tho. nations, of Europe, whither, they be in a state of revolution against, their governments or not—and that with the view of opproychlng scones on tho continent of Europe, the poopip invites tho government to take appropriate.measures for the pro tection of the trade of tho people oh (he Mcdlicrra ncan, and ' Third, That.lho people of tho United Stales pro nounces its opinion in respect to. tho question of in dependence , of,Hungary, so. as I had (ho- honor to elate. 1 hope nobody can reproach mo to havo done by this anything inconsistent with (ho high regards which I bwo to the United Slates, or nnt oppropriuic to my capacity. 1 would regard it as a very judi cious and beneficial thing, if those generous men who sympathize with tho, cause of -Hungary.would firm committees through tho different parts of the United States, with the purpose, to occasion appropriate meetings, to pass such resolutions as I had the honor humbly to suggest. So much for (he generous peo ple of the United Slates, In its . public and political capacity. And if that sympathy whlch l have the honor to meet with in the United States is really intended to become &cne/icial to (ho cause of my nonr naJivn land._lhon.there ia one mure which I anxiously entertain, uut (hut ia a. private buaineas; it ia a respectful appeal to the, generous feelings of individuals. Gentlemen, 1 would.rather 1 starve than irely, for myself and family, on foreign aid; but, for my country 11 * freedom, 1 would not be ashamed to gn a begging from dour.to door. (Grout cheering.) Gentlemen, T mean financial aid, money to assist the cause of freedom, and independence, of Hungary. 1 look the advice of sumo kind friends, if it be lawful to express siich an humble request, because I feel the honorable duty neither to' offend nor to evade your laws. lam told it is lawful. There ■ are two meaiii to sco' this, rhy humble wish, accom plished. The first is fromsponlaneotis subscription, to put the offerings of kind friends at my disposal, for (ho benefit ofmy country’s cause., The second is a loan. 'As to this loan, that is a business pf a 1 more private nature, which, to bo carried on in,an , appropriate way, requires private Consultation.in.a , more close circle. So hero I only mention that if there are such generous men who ore willing to enter 1 into 'tho idea, provided it will bo arranged in', on nc. 1 ceplabto way, 1 would moat humbly entreat them to , enter into a private communication about the sub. jecl with me; ond secondly,! express my conviction ■ sory for the practical Initiation of (ho loan business itself. These propositions, in oqr humble judgment, ere perfectly consistent with thet non.interrenlion policy of our government with the belligerents of Europe. It is one thing (os Kossuth most convincingly shows) to interfere, end taho part in the wars of European nations; and a very different thing, os a nation of the earth, to speak our sentiments of, and aid In giving permanence to the Lam of Nations, by which all civilized powers profess to bo governed. As a nation, wo are bound to respect the lew of nations— and shall wo not spook out and say to that one who would attempt to trample it under fanl—this is wrong, and as it nation wo protest against. 1(1, To do less, would at most imply our acquiescence, f How Lafayette was Received dv Conoress. —ln the debate upon the reception bf Kossuth by Congress, says tho Ledger, frequent ‘allusion was made to tho reception of Lafayette as a precedent. The National Intelligencer, referring do tho ac counts of this transaction at that time, soys Lafa yette was invited by each Houso to a seat within its chamber'; the committee appointed on the sub ject haring publicly announced that, “entertaining every wish to make tho reception cfGcneral Lafa yette as complimentary as possible,” they yet found difficulties in tho way of a joint reception, and considered it bolter that each . Houso 'should adopt its own arrangements arid its own “ form in the reception of that distinguished individual."— Tho General was accordingly presented to the Sen ate by its commiltcei with this simple inlroduo tlon ! “We introduce General Lofayelle to the Senate of the United Staler-, " and tho General, advancing to the chair, was Invited by tho Presi dent of tho Senate to lake a seat prepared for him on his right. No address to him was made,— The Senate adjourned soon allor hie being sealed, and then the President and Members of that body paid their individiual respects to him. On the day following, tho Uenurul woo Introduced to tho Houso with similar ceremonies. On that occa oaeion, Mr. Speaker Clny, rising from the chair, made to him a beautiful and eloquent address, to which Lafayette made a reply, expressing |,lo ac knowledgements of tho continued good-will of the American people, of his deljght-ln their progress and his undlminlehed aliaohment to the Institutions of tho country, for whose freedom and Indepen dence ho had fought nearly fifty years before Tho House then edjourhed, and the members, led by the Speaker, paid their personal respects to him.
