Arrival of Kossuth— Reception and First
Speech in this country.
Kossuth's public reception by the citi-
Z' ns of Siaten Island took place on Friday
afternoon, the ceremonies taking place in
an immense tent which had been erected
and suitably ornamented for the occasion.
He was escorted by a large and imposing
civic procession from I)r. Doane's house
to the tent, and during his progress, and
after his arrival there, was most enthusias
tically cheered by the immense multitude
by which be was surrounded. On his ar
rival at the tent he was escorted to a raised
platform, where he was addressed by iiicii-
AITD A. LOCKE, ESQ., who was appointed
hy citizens of the Island to perform this
ceremony, and whose sentiments and
words of welcome were repeatedly cheered
by the audience, and received from Kos
suth, during their delivery, tokens of ac
quiescence. At its close the Hungarian
Patriot rose to reply and was received
with the most animated applause. As
soon as he could oh fa in a hearing he spoke
as follows;
LADIES KU GENTLEMEN- :—The twelve hours
that 1 have had the honor and happiness to stand
on your glorious shores, give me a happy augury
of the fact that, during my stay here in the
United States, I shall have a pleasant duty to
perform, to answer the many manifestations of
the generous public spirit ot the people oi this
country. [Cheers.] 1 hope, however, that you
w ill be so kind us to take into consideration the
circumstances that I am in the first moments of
a hard t isk, and more particularly hard to me,
because 1 shall have to address your enlightened
and intelligent people in a tongue foreign to me.
You will not expect from me a long and elabo
rate speech, but will be contented with a few
v arinly-uttered, warmly-felt words of thankful
ness and gratitu le to you. [Cheers.) Citizens,
accept my fervent thanks for your generous
welcome on my arrival to your happy shores,
and my blessing upon you for the sanction of
my hopes which you express. You have most
truly expressed what my hopes are, when you
tell'me what you consider the destiny of your
glorious country to be; when you tell me that
henceforth, the spirit of liberty will go forth
and achieve the freedom of the world. [Cheers.]
Yes, citizens, these are the hopes which have
induced me—in a most important and eventful
period, when every moment may be the turning
point in Europe's destiny—to cross the Atlantic
Ocean —but intending to hasten back to the field
of duty sooner than 1 would otherwise propose.
Sooner, perhaps, even than 1 would like to do.
I confidently hope, citizens, that as you have an
ticipated my wishes by the expression of your
generous sentiments, even so you will agree with
me in the conviction that the spirit of liber
ty has not only spiritually, but materially, to go
forth from your glorious country, in order that
it may achieve the freedom of the world.
That 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, be
sides being inspired, also "strike the blow."
[Loud cheers.] Despotism and oppression never
yet were beaten except by heroic resolution,
and vigorous, manly resistance. That is a sad
necessity—but it is a necessity nevertheless. 1
have so learned it out of the great book of his
tory. 1 hope the people of the United States
will remember, that in the hour of their nation's
glorious struggle, it received from Europe more
than kind wishes and friendly sympathy. It re
ceived material aid from others in times past,
and it will, doubtless, impart now its mighty
agency in achieving the liberty of other lands.
The speaker, who has explained your senti
ments, gave me the assurance before 1 had ap
pealed to your sympathies, that the indepen
dence of Hungary is not only a benefit to Hun
gary itself, but an indispensable condition to the
freedom of the European Continent.
Citizens, 1 thank you that you have addressed
me through your speaker, not in the language of
party, but in the language of liberty, and there
fore 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
people of America, frankly and openly , I desire
to see respected the right of every nation to
dispose its own domestic concerns; therefore 1
myself have felt resolute in every place, in ev
ery country, to respect that principle. Hence,
I come not here to the United States to inter
meddle with your internal concerns. I come
hither in the name of my down-trodden, but not
broken people. (Cheers.) I come hither hum
bly to entreat, in the name of Hungary, the
generous protection of the people of no party in
these United {States. (Cries of ' good, good.')
But, citizens, having the consciousness that 1
have never spoken, in my whole life, a single
ward which I have not feit from the very bottom
of my heart, 1 ain sorry to see that the declara
tion which 1 have made so often and so solemnly
in England, and to which I was happy to find
that the people of this country had given a kind
legard, were not sufficient to prevent me, even
before my arrival, from being charged with
meddling with your domestic concerns, namely
with the question of your Presidential elec
tion—(Here some one cried out, " three groans
for the Courier and Enquirer," which were
given; after which three cheers were given suc
cessively for the New York Daily Times and
Herald) —because it so Lapppened that, in one
of my addresses in England, I mentioned the
name of one of your honorable fcllow-citizcns,
Mr. Walker, as one of the candidates for the
Presidency. (Laughter and cheers.) Now,
gentlemen, let nie assure you that 1 feel quite
at home in your midst, and therefore you will
pardon me if I speak familiarly. [Cries of good,
g jod—that's right.J I confess, with the warm
est feelings of gratitude, that Mr. Walker has
uttered sentiments in England, such as, if it
shall be my happy lot to find to be the senti
ments and feelings of the people of the United
States, will lead rne to declare with fervent joy,
that Hungary and Europe ate free (Cheers);
and therefore, 1 fee! deeply indebted to him,
1 feel deeply indebted to you, lor the expres
sion of those sentiments.
But all this has nothing to do with the ques
tion of rny mixing with the Presidential election
in the United States. The matter JS simply
this . that a gentleman ftom America, in his of
ficial capacity, had introduced tome, Mr. Walk
er. whom 1 had not the honor to know as one of
'he candidates of a political party in the United
Etati-s ; and hearing him express certain senti
ments, 1 merely mentioned the fact without
having the slightest idea in my mind of mixing
with any party question whatever in this coun
try. And now 1 declare, that I consider no man
to be art honest man who is not ready at all
times to respect the principles, as they concern
a id affect other men, which he desires fo see re
spected in relation to himself [Cheers.] 1 de
ure to see respected, by every people in the
world, the sovereign right of my nation to dis
i sc of its own domestic concerns; anil there
tore | would not be an honest man if 1 were not,
m tK ry country in the world, to respect those
principles toward other men. (Cheers.)
Aiiow me, citizens, to advert to oueexpres
•ion of your kind address which is rather a deli
cate matter to me, and in regard to which 1 hope
\ou will not misunderstand ine. You have
named me, in the beginning of your address, |
"KOSSUTH, Governorol" Hungary." Now,cit
izens, my lot is a curious one. Never was there
a man in the world more fond of tranquility and :
of a retired life than myself; and never thus
far in my life, have I been able to enjoy this i
happiness for a single moment. I have not been j
able to enjoy it because I always consider the ,
duty of the patriot to be first and paramount,
and that only after that are to come individual
wishes, individual inclinations. My nomination
to the high station of Governor of Hungary
was not to gratify an ambitious purpose ; indeed,
I know no other ambition than that of not being
ambitious; [applause] and 1 declare that never,
perhaps, in my life did I feel more sad than at
the moment when 1 was named Guvernor of
Hungary ; because I considered my feeble fac
ulties of mind and the high duties laid upon my
feeble shoulders; and I was almost afraid of the
high responsibility of that great station. It is,
therefore, not out of ambition that 1 thank you j
fur the work you have assigned tome in naming '
rne Governor of Hungary—but I thank you for
it because the acknowledgment, on the "part of
the people of the United States, whom I have
the honor to address, is an acknowledgment of
the rightful existence of the Declaration of In
dependence of Hungary. [Cheers.] And, gen
tlemen, 1 frankly declare that 1 believe the peo
ple of the United States are bound, in honor and
in duty, to recognize this Declaration of inde
pendence as a righteously existing fact, because
your very existence reposes on a similar decla
ration. [Hear, hear.]
This Declaration of the Independence of Hun
gary is the only existing public law of my nation.
It was not tlie proclamation of a single ruan. nor
of a party ; but it was the solemn declaration of
the whole nation in Congress assembled, as votir
fore-fathers were assembled to put forth your
own glorious Declaration of Independence" It
was sanctioned by every village, by ewrv muni-
cipalily, of the whole country. It is the d-c!a- i
ration of Hungary; end no counter pronunci- !
ation from mv people lias ever yet come forth to
the world Hence 1 have a right to say tii.it
the Declaration of the Independence of Hungary
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 foreign power as you know,
which had no right to intermeddle with Hun
garian efforts—hd the am i iot s le-ign t< thrust
upon us his allegiance ; and, finding A trait*-:- I T
: an ally, in our own ranks, he trampled upon Lie ,
libetties and national existence oi' Hungary.
I Now. gentlemen, what warrant has r'.i-ltun to
| annihilate right ? Violence can establish a
fact contrary to law—contrary to right; but.
I violence never can destroy the rightful source
of this Declaration of Independence. [Hear,
i hear.]
Take, for instance, the glorious struggle you
I had not long ago with Mexico, in wh h Gen.
! Scott drove out the President of that Republic
from bis capitol. 'Now suppose Gen. Santa An
-1 na had come to \Vishington, and driven away
| President Taylor: would Gen. Taylor have
1 ceased to be the rightfully elected President of
the United States, from the fact a foreign power
| had for a moment forced him to leave his place :
i 1 believe there is not a single man in the United
j States who would say yes. The violence ui
i Santa Anna, even in that case, would not have
| annihilated the sovereign right of the people of
j the United States to choose their own President.
—And if it be so, 1 have most certainly the
righ to say, that it is a duty of consistency and
logic for the people of the United States to
recognise the Declaration of the Independence
of Hungary as an existing law, —as the only
j existing law of my poor down-trodden countrv.
That is what I expect to find here, and, what
ever be tiie declaration of your Government in
that respect, 1 know- that I have the honor to be
in a country where the sovereign is not the
Government, but the People, — [great cheering]
—and where every man in office must be the
representative of "that ui-trict which the public
spirit of the people takes. And it i- therefore
that 1 thank you even more fur your kindnes, in
having named me " Governor of Hungary be
cause by this you have paid the tribute of an
acknowledgement of the Declaration of lnde
j penderice of my native land.—[Cheers.]
As to the praises you were so kind as to be
! stow upon me, it is no affectation of modesty iri
I me when 1 declare, that 1 am not conscious of
j having any merit at all, but only that of being
a plain straight forward man, a faithful friend
of freedom, a good patriot. [Hear, hear.] And
' these qualities, gentlemen, are so natural to
every honest man that it is scarcely worth
while to speak of them, because 1 cannot con
ceive how a man with understanding, with a
sound heart, can be any thing else than a good
pati iot, a lover of freedom, and an honest man.
But yet after all, my humble capacity lias irjg.
j preserved me from calumnies, i can well say
of myself, as O'Connell onc< said of himself,
that lam at this time the " bast abused toa ," in
the world.—[Voice, "O,no ! <>, no !"j Well,
gentlemen, Ido not care much about it. [Laugh
• ter.] So long as despots exist in the world,
and despots can find the means to pay, the * v. ill
find men to calumniate ti.o.-e v ho are o;q 0.-ed
to despotism and tyranny.—Therefore, i ■ re
not much about it; because, sitppcs< 1 were, the
most dishonest creature in the woriJ, 1 beg ou
i in the name of all that is sacred to tell me, what
' would that matter in respect to the cause of
Hungary? Would that cause become ie-- ji, si,
less righteous, less worthy of your sympathy.
, because i, for instance, am a bad man ? Grit sof
I "No, no."] No! 1 believe it It is not a
question in regard to any individual here. It i
; a question in regard to a just cause, of a country
I to take its place in the great family of free na
tions of the world. 1 care not much, therefore,
about these calumnies. Scarcely had 1 arrived
here, when 1 was told that 1 was charged here
| in the United States, with being an it religious
man. Now, gentlemen, that is sacred ground,
and 1 am somewhat sensitive upon that matter ;
but 1 will nevertheless say that, a good t-'iiris
tain, whose first moral principle is, " love tliv
neighbor as thyself," 1 only wish thai man who
I charges me with being an irreligious man, may
' with respect to this first great principle of
Christianity, stand with as open a face before
the tribunal of our Supremo Judge, as I con
! fidently hope that 1 will stand. [Great cheering.]
Again ; 1 say, 1 do not care much about this
matter; but one thing I can scarcely compre
! hend,—that the Press—that mighty vehicle of
justice and champion of human right—could
have found an organ, even in the United States,
which leaving personal calumnies aside, should
bring reproach upon itself so far as to assert,
j that it was not the people of Hungary—not my
sell and my companions who fought for libertv
—but that it was the Emperor of Austria v. ho
was the champion of Liberty ! [Cheers and de
naive laughter, and a call again for three groans
for the Courier and Enquirer, which were given.]
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 s.ay but
such ridiculous—l do not know what in the
world to call it. That must be a sacred and a
just cause, w hose opponents have no other at
tacks upon it to make, but by the assertion that
the Emperor of Jlustria is the champion of free
dom throughout the European countries I [Great
laughter.J I thank you that you have given me
full proof of it, —that ail the calumnies of these
1 asseitions have allected neither your judgement
nor your heart. [Cries of " No! no!"']
1 have heard with great pleasure the expres
sion of your views in your address, which prove
that you have given an attentive and a kindly
investigation to the. true natui< of the cause of
Hungary, and to those principles wbieh J profess,
I expect and desire nothing else. 1 desire only
that the glaring eye of the people of the Uniti d
Elates should be pleased to read from that open
hook of my country's history, a faithful narration
o*. the nation's struggles, and 1 want no advocate
to recommend the cause of Hungary to your at
tention. That cause will sufficiently recom
mend itself.
Gentlemen, it was not my intention to have
spoken so much—and badly enough 1 have
spoken it, I suppose. [Cries of Good, Good,
Good! Go on.] —No, my dear sirs, I cannot go
on, chiefly because 1 shall have to speak to
morrow, and the day after to-morrow, and 1 do j
not know how many "more times to-day. [Laugh
ter.] 1 am the worst sdflor in the world. I
have suffered very much in crossing the ocean, j
and have not slept for many nights. My bodily j
strength is broken ; but notwithstanding, I give
you my word that when the time comes fur the i
taking up again of my nation's cause, I will not
be sick, but will stand in my place, on the bat
tie 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 my most
fervent thanks for your generous welcome, and j
for the expression of those generous sentiments
which I have had the honor to hear in this place.
And let me hope that, before I leave the United
States—as leave 1 must, because t have a suf
fering country in Europe, which is only made
dearer to my heart by her sufferings—let me
hope that before 1 leave the United States that
the generosity of the people will have given me
material prcols that those sentiments which 1
have had tiie honor to hear from you, are the
sentiments of the people of the whole country,
and that they have as firmly decided to be as
good in deeds and acts, as in words and sym
pathy. in this hope 1 beg to be kindly remem
bered by you. and take leave of you, with the
promise that, as this place will he the place
irom whence 1 shall st3rt back to Europe, 1
shall once more have the honor, the joy, and the j
happiness of addressing you publicly, and bid
ding yuu publicly an affectionate adieu—hoping
then to be able to thank for acts, as 1 now thank
you for sentiments.
