KOSSUTfl S SPEECH TO THE LADIES
IN HEW YORK.
The scene at Metropolitan Hall on Sat
urday afternoon, the 20th tilt., was proba
bly the most beautiful that has yet met the
eye of the great Magyar since "he came to
America. The immense Hall was densely
filled wilh an assembly of 3,000 persons,
ol whom 2,500 were women. Their ea
ger curiosity to see and hear the Wonder
of the .Nineteenth Century, was nobly grati
fied by by the more subdued sentiment of
respect for the distinguished man and hope
for his cause.
After an address from the Rev. Dr.
Tyng, Gov. Kossuth rose and spoke us fol
lows :
I would I were able to answer that call.
I would I were able conveniently to fill
the place which your kindness has assign
ed to me; but really 1 am in despair. I
do not know how many times 1 have spo.
ken within the last fourteen days in New
York. Permit me to make some few re
marks which are suggested to my mind by
what has been .staled. You were pleased
to say that Austria was blind to let me es
cape. 13e assured that it was not the merit
of Austria. Austria would have been very
glad to bury me, if not in the cold grave of
dealh, at least in the equally cold grave of
moral inactivity, llut the Emperor of
Turkey took courage at the interference of
America; and notwithstanding all the re
clamations ol Austria, I am free restored
to life, because restored to duty and activi
ty. If Austria would not have murdered
down the very existence of my nation, it
is true l snoulu Have vanished out of the
memory of man. It is a curious fate which
I have. Perhaps there never was a man
in the world who was so fond of tranquility
asl am; and perhaps no man so fond of
doing as much good as possible without be
ing known, or even noticed as being in the
world. Thus, longing for tranquility, it
was my destiny never t ) have a single mo
ment in my life to see it fulfilled. JJut mv
guiding star was, and will be, '-Duly ;" and
the pleasure and delight of the heart must
wait, even forever, it necessary, when duty
calls. Ladies, worn out as I am, still 1 am
glad, very glad indeed, that it is the ladies
of New Yolk who have condescended to
listen to my farewell. This my farewell,
cannot, will nut be eloquent. When in
the midst of a busy .v, the watchful cares
of a guardian angel throws some flowers of
joy in the thorny way of man, he gathers
mem up wttii tiianks, a cheerlul thrill
quivers through his heart, like the melody
ofaiwEolian harp; but the earnest duties
of life soon claim his attention and his cars.
The melodious thrill dies away, and on he
must go, and on he goes, joyless, cheerless,
and cold, every fibre ol his heart bent to
the earnest duties of the day. Uut when
the hard work of the day is done, and the
stress of mind for a moment subsides, then
the heart again claim its right, and the ten
der fingers of our memory gather up again
the violets of joy which the guardian angel
threw in our way, and we look at them
with so much joy, we cherish them as the
favorite gifts of life we are so glad as
glud as the child on Chr it mas eve. These
are the happiest moments ol man's life.
But whi n we are not noisy, not eloquent,
we are silent, almost mute, like nature in a
mid-summer's night, reposing from the
burning heat of the day. Ladies, that is
my condition now. It is a hard day's
vyork which I have to do here. I am de
livering my farewell address; and every
compassionate smile, every warm grasp of
the hand, every token ol kindness which I
have received (and I have received so ma
ny) every flower of consolation which the
ladies of New York have thrown on my
thorny way, rushes with double force to
my memory. I feel so happy in this mem
ory there is a solemn tranquility about
my mind ; but in such a moment i would
rather be silent than speak. I scarcely can
speak. You know, ladies, that it is not the
deepest feelings which are the loudest.
Loud applause. And besides, I have to
say farewell to New York ! This is a sor
rowful worj. What immense hones are
linked in my memory in this word New
York hopes of resurrection lor my down-
trodden fatherland hopes of liberation for j
oppressed nations on the European conti-
nent! Will Ihe expectations which the
mighty outlinrst of New York's younfj and
generous neari toreshadowed, be realized ? I
Will these hopes be fulfilled, or will the
ray ot consolation which New York cast
on the dark night of my fatherland will
it pass away like an electric flash t Oh,
could I cast one single glance into the book
of futurity! No, God forgive me this im
pious wish. It is He who hid the future
Iroin man, and what He does ig well done.
It were not good for man to know his des
tiny. The energy of his set se of duty
would falter or subside, if we were assured
of the failure or success of our aims. Ap
plause. It is because we do not know the
future that we retain our energy of duty.
So will I go on n my work, with the full
energy of my humble anilities, without des
pair, but with hope. It is Eastern blood
which runs in my veins ; and I come from
the East. I have, accordingly, somewhat
of Eastern fatalism in my disposition, but it
is the fatalism of a Christian who trusts
with unwavering faith in the boundless
goodness of a Divine Providence. But
among all these diflerent feelings and
thoughts that come upon me in theliourot
my farewell, one thing is almost indispen
sable to me, and that is, the assurance that
the sympathy I have met wilh here will
not pass away like the cheers which a
warbling girl receives on the stage that it
will be preserved as a principle, and that
when the emotion subsides, the calmness of
reflection will but strengthen it, because it
is principle. This consolation I wanted,
and this consolation I have, because, ladies,
1 place it in your bauds. I be.tuw on
your motherly and sisterly cares, the hopes
of Europe's oppressed nations, the hopes
of civil, political, social, and religious lib
erty. Oh, 1,1 me entreat you, with the
brief and stammering words of a warm
heart, overwhelmed with emotions and
wilh sorrowful cares let me entreat you,
ledies, to be watchful of the sympathy of
your people, like the mother over the cra
dle of her beloved child. It is worthy of
your watchful care, because it is the cradle
of regenerated humanity. Especially in
regard to my poor fatherland, I have par
ticular claims on the fairer .and better half
of humanity, which you are. The first of
th ese claims is, that there is not, perhaps,
on the face of the earth a nation which in
its institutions has shown more chivalric
regard for ladies than the Hungarians. It
is a praiseworthy trait of the Oriental char
acter. You know that it was the Moorish
race, in Spain, who were the founders of
the chivalric era in Europe, so full of per
sonal virtue, so full ol noble deeds, so devo
ted to the service of ladies, and heroism,
and to the protection of the oppressed.
You are told that the ladies of the East are
almost degraded t less than a human con
dition, being secluded from all social life,
and pent up wilh'n the harem's walls.
And so it is. Uut you must not judge the
East by the measure of European civiliza
tion. They have their own civilization,
quite different from ours in views, inclina
tions, affections, and thoughts. Eastern
mankind is traditional the very soil re
tains the stamp of traditional antiquity.
When you walk upon that old soil, with
the Old Testament in your hand, and read
the prophets and the patriarchs on the very
spot where they lived and walked, you are
astonished to find that nature is as it was
five thousand years ago, and that the cedars
still grow on her boundary, under the
shadow of which the patriarchs were pro
tected. You see the well just ns Jacob
saw it w hen Rachel gave drink to him and
his camels. Eveiything the aspect of
nature, the habits, the customs, the'social
life vf the people is measured, not lv
centuries, hut by thousands of years. The
women of the East live as they lived in the
time of the patriarchs, and they feel hap
py. Let them remain so applause ; who
can wish them more on earth than happi
ness? Nothing is more ridiculous than to
pity those who feel h;ippy. Hut such is
the fact that there is almost a religious re
gard paid to women in the East. No man
dares to injure or to offend a woman there.
He who would do so would be despised by
all like a dog. That respect goes so far,
that the loid does not dare raise the carpet
of his harem's door, still less enter it, where
a pair of slippers before the threshold tells
him that a lady is in the room. Applause.
Respect and reverence for women is the
charactei islic of the Orient. The Magyars
are of Eastern stock, cast in Europe. We
found all the blessings of civilization in
your ladies; but we conserved for them the
regard and reverence of our Oriental char
acter. Nay, more than that, we carried
these views into our institutions and into
our laws. With us, the widow remains
the head of the family, as the father was.
As long us she lives, she is the mistress of
the property of her deceased husband. The
chivalrous i pirit of the nation supposes she
.will provide, wilh motherly care, for the
wants of her children, and she remains in
posses ion so long as she bears her deceased
husband's name. The old Constitution of
Hungary, which we refoimed upon a dem
ocratic basis it having been aristocratic
under that instrument the w idow of a lord
had the right to send her Representative to
the Parliament, and in the county elections
of public functionaries widows had a riaht
to vote alike with the men. Perhaps this
chivalric character of my nation, so lull of
regard toward the fair sex, may somewhat
commend my mission to the ladies of Ame
rica. Our second particular claim is. that
the source of all the misfortune which now
weighs so heavily upon my bleeding father
land, is in two ladies Catharine ol Russia,
and Sophia of Hapsburg, the ambitious mo
ther of the young Nero, Francis Joseph.
You know that one hundred and filly years
ago, Charles the Twelfth, of Sweden, the
bravest of the brave, forseeing the growth
of Russia, and fearing that it would oppress
. i i. i . . ! r . .
and overwhelm civilization, ventured with
a handful of tren to overthrow the risin"
power of Russia. Alter immortal (leeck,
and almost fabulous victories, one o made
linn a refugee upon Turkish soil, like mv.
self. Uut happier (ban myself, he succeed
ed in persuading Turkey of the necessity
ol checking Russia, in her overweening
ambition, and in curtailing her growth.
On went Mehemet Ualzordei with his
Turks, and met Peter the Czar, and pent
him up in a corner, where there was no
possibility of escape. There Mehemet held
him with iron grasp till hunger came to
his aid. Uut nature claimed her rights.
and in a council of war it was decided to
surrender to Mehemet. Then Catharine,
who was present in the camp, appeared in
person before the Grand Vizier to sue for
mercy. She was fair, and she was rich
with jewels of nameless value. She went
to the Grand Vizier's tent. She came back
without any jewels, but she brought mercy,
and Ru sia was; saved. From that celebra
ted day dates the downfall of Turkey, and
that of Russia's growth. Out of this source
flowed the stream of Russian preponder
ance over the European continent ; and
down-trodden liberty, and the nameless
sufferings of Poland and of my poor native
land, are the dreadful fruits of Catharine's
success on that day, cursed in the records
of humanity. The second lady who will
be cursed through all posterity, in her
memory, is Sophia, the mother of the pre
sent usurper of Hungary she who had the
ambitious dream to raise the limited power
of a child upon the ruins of liberty, and on
the neck ol down trodden nations. It was
her ambition the evil genius of the house
of Hapsburg in the present day -which
brought desolation upon us. I need only
mention one fact to characterize what kind
ol a heart was in that cursed woman. On
the anniversary ol the day of Arad, where
our martyrs bled, she came to the Court
with a bracelet of rubies gathered together
in so many roses as were numbered by the
heads of the brave Hungarians who fell
there, and declared it a gilt which she joy
fully presented to the company as a me
mento which she wears on her very arm
to cherish its eternal memory, that she
might not lorget the pleasure she derived
from the killing of those men who died at
Arad. This very fact can give you a true
knowledge of the character of that woman.
And this is the second claim to the ladies'
sympathy for oppressed humanity and for
my poor fatherland. I wish the free wo.
men of free America will help my down
lallen land to get out of that iron grasp, or
to get out ol those bloody fangs, and be
come independent and "free. Our third
particular claim is the behavior of our la
dies during the last war. It is no wanton
praise it is a fact what I say that, in my
hard task to lead on the struggle and to
govern Hungary, I had no more powerful
auxiliaries, and no more faithful executors
of the will of the nation, than in the wo
men of Hungary. (Applause.) You know
that in ancient Rome, after the battle of
Cans?, which was won by Hannibal, the
victor was afraid to come down to the very
walls of Rome. The Senate called on the
people spontaneously to sacrifice all their
wealth on the altar of their fatherland, and
the ladies were the first to do it. Everv
jewel, every ornament, was brought forth,
so much so that the tribune judged it ne
cessary to pass a law prohibiting the ladies
,r it . ' i -,,
ot Koine to wear jewelery or any si k '
dresses, in order that it might not appear
i i ti . . . . .
me lames oi itome Dad not, by their own
choice, have done so. Now, we wanted
in Hungary no such law. The women of :
Hungary brought all that they had. (Great
applause.) You would have been astonish- 1
eu to see now, in tne most wealthy nouses
ol Hungary, if you were invited to dinner,
you would be forced to eat soup with iron
spoons; and when the wounded and the
sick and many of them we had, because
.ye fought hard when the wounded and
sick were not so well provided as it would
have been our duty and our pleasure to do,
1 ordered the ministry and the respective
public functionaries to take care of them.
But the poor wounded went on sufTerins.
.i i - i . , . ... .
and the ministry went on slowly to pro. j
vide for them. When 1 saw this, one sin- 1
g,e word was spoken to the ladies of Hun
gary, and in a few hours there was provis-j
ion made for hundreds of thousands of sick.

saw many and many brides who urged on
Ihe bridegrooms to delay their day ot hap
piness till they would come back victori
ous from the battles of their fatherland.
Thus acted the ladies of Hungary. That
country deserves to live ; that country de-
rves to have a future left yet, which the
women, as much as the men, love and cher-
li. Applause.
Bui I have a stronger motive than all these
to claim your protecting sympathy for my
country's cause, ll is her iiameless woe,

and the Iriilh which poms forth instinctively
from your hearts, is mightier than Ihe logic
articulated by nny scholar. The Peii ex
cluded from Paradise, brought many gen
erous pifls to heaven in order to regain it.
She bronuhl the dying siiih of a patriot ; the
ki.s of a faithful pirl imprinted on the lips of
her 1" idegroom distorted by the vennm of

pifls; but Ihe doors of Paradise openej be
fore her only when she brought with her Ihe
first prayer of a man converted to charity and
biolherly love for his oppressed brethren and
humanity. I have many tokens received of
this brotherly love ; jitid ut Ihe very moment
of my entering this hall, I was informed of a
circumstance, which I consider so important
as to ber; permission to make in respect to it
one single remark. 1 am told that one of
the newspapers, wilh friendly and penerons
intention toward that causo which I have the
honor to plead before yon, has pointed out as
the success of my standing here, that there
is a committee established out of such men
whoso very share in that committee cives
impoitHiio.e to it, and who are nboul to raise
money for the purpose of revolutionizing En
rope. My axiom is that of tho Irish poet,
"Who would be free, themselves must strike
the Mow." Applause All that I claim is
fair play and that is the aim for which I
, ,, T, ., , c, ' , . ,,
claim the Lulled States to become the
,. r . , ... ,
live power of the laws of Nature and of Na
ture's God. That is the aim fur which (
claim your generous public and private aid
niu' sopp01"'- The revolutions in Europo will
be made by the nations of Europe; but that
they shall have fair play is what the nntions
of Europe expect from the protection of tho
United States of America. Remember the
power which you have and which 1 have en
deavored to point out in a few brief words.
Remember this, and form associations; es
tiihlish ladies' committees to raise substan
tial aid for lluii'jiiry. Who could, who
would, refuse, when the melody of your
voice is pleading the cause of my bleeding,
my oppiessed native laud.
Now, ladies,
I am done. O
1 am worn out very much, so
One word only remains to be
said a word of deen sotrow. (lie word.
'-Farewell, New Yoik !" New Yo.k ! that
word will forever make thrill every string of

must part. I part with tho hope that the
sympathy which I have met here is the

cited from his hearers a shout of nppioba

clenching their hands, mid grasping the hil
of their swords ; then they became silent
again, and listened to Iheir chief.
Those men formed" part of the "forlorn
hope," which was ordered to lead the as
sault upon Buda the following morning.
i There was still another group, consisting
of staff officers, several of whom had just
returned from a breastwork, which had
caused great havoe among the ranks of the
besieged. They were discussing the ptauli
cability of (blowing up another work closer
to the walls of the fortress, and many gins
ses were directed towards the walls to pick
out a suitable plan. Present h an exclama
tion of surprise escaped the lips of a young
Colonel, and once more adjusting his glass
he took another look, then sprang up, and
hastening Inwards his horse, which stood
near by, held by a sohfior, he cried "A
sortie, gentleman, a sortie." The cry,
which tinder other circumstances and among
other men, would have caused the greatest
excitement, failed to do so in this rase
Tho officers moved quickly to their horses,
and rode off in diflerer.t directions to Iheir
respective divisions. Columns began to
form, squadrons of horse galloped across
the plain j Ihe gay Hussar, the heavy dra
goon, the undisciplined hordes of mounted
peasantry moved quickly over the turf,
and took up Iheir station. Aid-decamps
were hurrying from post to post, the roar of
the artillery became hushed, and the hostile
demonstration on Ihe part of the besieged
had, as it wete, for a moment caused hostil
ities to cease.
The officer had not been mistaken, for the
besieged had indeed ventured upon a sor
tie By the lime that the Hungarians had
taken up a position without withdrawing the
nocessary piotection corps of iheir batteries
the enemy had displayed a strong force, und
were fast advancing towards the foremost
fortification. The Legion Polonnaisc met
them, and breaking through tho ranks of the
tall grenadiers, sabred hundreds in their
fearlul charge. Brought to a halt by the
sudden unmasking of a formidable battery,
they wheeled round, trampling lo death the
followers of Austria, and carrying off one of
its proud banners. This withdrawal was
ihe sign for tho Ifonvctls to complete the
work of death. "Kossuth and Hungary,"
was the spontaneous shout, and the rush of
tho devoted peasantry was the signal for
death to many on Austrian. The hostile
commander fell mortally wounded, another
bannner was grasped by the Iron hand of a
Houved, whilst its bearer sank lifeless to
the ground. Tho flying artillery of tho
Hungarians now reached the scene of strife
and before an hour had elapsed the Aus
trians were beaten back within the walls of
their strongholds, leaving hundreds of their
comtades on the field of battle, and in the
hands of their conquerors.
On the evening of that day Kossuth re
ceived a dispatch from General Klapka, in
forming him, that a plot has been formed to
assassinate him,
Two days passed. Buda slill held out,
although each hour hastened its fall. Il
was night. Kossuth had lakeu up his quar
ters at a farmhouse situated at a distance of
two leagues from the theater of war. The
day had been productive of various impor
tant events, and ihe noble Magyar was
completely exhausted by the onerous duties
which he had undergone. He inhabited the
ground-lluor, and sal near a table in the
midst of the room, his brow resting on his
right hand. In two rooms adjoining Ihe
one where the Hungarian chief now sal,
were three secretaries, engaged in writing
out despatches, but the doors were shut
und no communication existed between
them and ihe governor. The night was
dark and silent through the open windows
might now uud then be heard I he roar of a
solitary piece of cannon from ihe walls of
Buda. jThe litimp of horses feet, coming
toward iho house ul a fearful pace, interrup
ted the llioughis of Kossuth. He ruse and
paced Ihe room, nervously looking towards
the door which led lo the hall. Il was
ihunvii open and a young ollicer tendered a
dispatch in breathless haste. Kossuth tote
it open, glanced over its contents, and as if
lelicved uf great anxiety, sal down again,
and wilh a smile lighting up his line feature
said
"To-morrow, then i"
"Yes, your excellency, to-morrow," an
sweied the young man, and retired with a
low bow. Iu another moment the sound of
his horse's feel was heard galloping up
the road, and once more quiet was restored.
The dispatch promised the fall of Duda on
the morrow.
Again Kossuth sal at the table, resting his
head, and losl in profound thought. A
solitary sentinel was stationed iu front of the
house the only guard of Hungary's only
hope. Whilst Kossuth thus sat weighing in
his mind the chances of his country's wel
fare, a human face, distorted wilh pussiou,
suddenly appealed before the opened w in
dow j il rose above Ihe sill, tho arms uud
figure of a man became visible, and ateullhy
like a cat, ho climbed up, and without
noise concealed himself behind the light
drapery of the window-. The table was
between him and his victim, and he wailed
only for the approach of the heto, lo com
plete Ihe dreadful task which he had thus
successfully commenced. Kossuth had seen
him, but an instinctive apprehension of
dancer made him scan the room. The
assassin drew his dagger, prepared for mo
menlary use, but in so doing moved the
drapery. "Art thou friend or foe," asked
Kossuth in German, the slight movement
not having escaped his eagle glance..
There was no answer. "Come forth, who
ever thou art, thy life is safe," continued
the bero The curtain again moved ; it
was slowly withdrawn, and revealed the fig
ure of the assassin.
What would'st thou 1" demanded Kos
suth, having discovered the German origin
of Ihe intruder.
"1 will kill

you
'." was the brief re
"And what have I done that thou wouldst
harm me," asked Ihe Hungarian.
"1 am a Bohemian ; my brother was
captured by your men. and Ihey tell me
that you have hanged him. A reward was
offered for your head, and I offered to kill
you not to pet tho reward, but lo avenge
my brother."
"You have been misinformed," replied
Kossuth, "I hang no prisoners of war, and
Ihose who have been captured will be re
leased when Buda is ours. That will be
to-morrow. Go now ; I donld ask thy
name, but I will spare thee the feat that he
whom thou wouldst murder should ever b
able to hold thee tip lo infamy. When I
speak to the sentinel outside flee from this
place, and 1 will cover thy reticat. Fear
uotliing."
The Bohemian knelt before the noble
chief and prayed his forgiveness. Kossuth
moved away, called the sentinel rnd spoke?
lo him familiarly for several minutes.
When he ngain returned to iho room, tho
Bohemian had disappeared.
On Ihe follow ing day ihe tricolor of Hnn
gary floated on Ihe ramparts of Buda. The
prisoners of w ar were liberated under the
customary conditions.
Months had passed. The star of Hungary
w as visited by a cloud of misfortunes ;
Gorgey had proved a traitor and Kossuth
wns nn exile j the fortune of war had gone
against him. The chief and his followers
were confined at Shtimla, undergoing the)
most rigorous treatment. They were guests
par excellence but in reality close prisoners.
No courtesy was extended to them, no alle
viation of their wretched condiiion they ex
perienced. Kossuth was fast decling tinder this load
of misery, when one morning it was an
nounced lo him that in lieu of the soldiers
who had before attended him, a foreigner,
who spoke his language, would be his ser
vant. "Another spy," thought Kossuth,
"come to report tho conversations between
me and my friends," but he did not object,
firmly determined lo do without the aid of
nn attendant. The door opened and the
servant came in one look was sufficient to
prove him Iho midnight visitor previous to
the fall of Buda,
"Thou here 1" asked Kossuth, In stir
pris. "l am, to follow you to death. I left
home atid friends to see you again do not
cast me off."
"Slay then," replied Kossuth,
From that day the condition of tho exiled
chief improved. Fritz, for thus he was
called by Kossuth, who never would ask
his real name, procured, -w hilst feigning
bitter enmity towards the prisoners, every
comfort, including books, w hich the chief so
much desired. Fritz followed him to Ku-
tayah, spending the wages which he 19
cived as a spy of the Austrian government,
in appliances for the happiness of its tict m.
Of the past, he would not speak, but on the
future he dwell wilh rapture. He prognosti
cated the early release of his master and his
brilliant reception iu all parts of the world.
But when at last Ihe order for release ar
rived, Fritz became sad and depressed.
They came to Constantinople, and under the
proud Hag of America he kissed once more
the hand of ihe chief, and said, "You go to
a happy land ; Fritz has done his duly.
Foruivo what he did to yon. Farewell."
Kossuth brushed away a tear which
moisted his eye, and shook the hand of
the Bohemian. "Farewell !" he said, and
ihey parted.

The following remarks are from the pi
quant pen of Mrs. fnvisshelm:
"One curious facl we have observed with
regard to dancing. This is, Ihe more deeply
a church or individual professor is steeped
in the spirit of money grabbing, or intern
perauce, the greater is their abhorence of
dancing. This appears lo be a kind of
convenient scapegoat on which the sins of
the congregation are Iain, that they may be
borne in Ihe Ailderness. Let the preacher
at any time submit to a gag which shall, on
some special occasion, forbid his opening his
month for the dumb, or reproving a wealthy
distiller, or fat usurer, who griuks the poor
lo pay pew rent, and forthwith we get a
fresh anathema on dancing. Show us a
wealthy deacon's wife who will haggle
with a widow to get wattling done for
twelvo and a half cents a dozen, and then
pay her in trade, or give her two dimes and
four cents for twenty-five cents, and we
will shew you one who will lake a spasm
over the iniquities of a cotillion. We never
knew ihe rule to fail, and have watched its
workings for so long, that whenever any
one begins a lecture on dancing we suspect
him or her of being a worshipper of mam
mon. Old Christian in his kmc; jouruey
danced for joy, but ihe man with Ihe muck
rake was too busy. Nothing appears belter
calculated lo contend wilh the hard, money
loving spirit of our age than musio and dan
cing. It tends lo melt the hard crust which
the dust of ledger forms around the hearts
of our people, and there is no place to which,
we should go with a subscription paper for at
charitable object with' more hop of success
than a social party where all were dancing
to the music of two good violins and a trom
bone." - ' " v '
