nal aid for his country. Fully informed in advance of the existence of slavery and the dominance of the Slave Power, he affects neutrality and flatters the South. Garrison, on behalf of the American Anti-slavery Society, exposes him in an elaborate letter. Uncle Tom's Cabin appears. Father Mathew's stay in America outlasted two years. A nine days wonder, he was heard and thought of no more after (like a candle lowered into a foul well) he had taken his passports for the South. On November 8, 1851, he sailed from New York, recalling Lib. 21.185. himself for a moment to public attention by issuing a farewell address. He professed to have added more than 600,000 disciples to the cause of total abstinence—an empty boast. He tendered to his countrymen on this side of the Atlantic some wholesome parting advice, but with a grave omission as to their duty towards slavery, which Mr. Garrison supplied by appending to the address in the Liberator the Irish Address of 1842. Father Lib.

n (W. L. Garrison in Lib. 22.6). The full title of this work, compiled by Theodore D. Weld, was American slavery as it is: testimony of a thousand witnesses. . . . New York: Am. A. S. Society, 1839. This and the Key to Uncle Tom's Cabin are the two great manuals of authentic information concerning the atrocities of American slavery. Lib. 22.6. were placed in his hands. To all this intelligence he paid no heed. He did not avoid the slaveholding confederacy. He landed in New York on December 5, 1851, and his first words showed that he meant to be neutral on the subject of slavery, and would in fact take sides against the abolitionists. The soil of freedom, your happy home. Freedom and home! Lib. 21.198. Asylum to the oppressed. This prodigious view of greatness, freedom, and happiness. These Lib. 21.201. inexcusable phrases of his reception speech-making were followed by an explicit announcement of his attitude towards the peculiar institution. I take it to be the duty o

ur welcome depends upon your silence where even the very stones should cry out, that the universal sympathy which is expressed for your oppressed countrymen would instantly be turned to rage, and thus proved to be spurious—this fact alone would make you faithful and fearless, instead of timid and parasitical, if God, the Almighty, had selected you to represent the cause of humanity before us. Kossuth's first speech, on his reception at Castle Garden by the city authorities of New York, Dec. 6, 1851 (Lib. 21: 201). As there is, in reality, only one reason for your turning a deaf ear to the cry of imbruted humanity among us,—and that is, an apprehension of exciting popular displeasure,—it is idle to pretend that you are compelled to take this course, to avoid being mixed up with a multitude of extraneous matters that would otherwise be pressed upon your consideration.

nationally for the liberation of Hungary, by threatening Austria and Russia that, if they do not stand aloof and let the Hungarians do as they please in the management of their own affairs, we will add to our threats blows, and let slip the dogs of war! Beautiful consistency! O, this is pitiable! On the same page of the Liberator with this censure, Mr. Garrison printed twenty stanzas, addressed to Kossuth, which were his contribution to the Liberty Bell for 1852. They bore date December 10, 1851, the author's 46th birthday, and had this foot-note appended: Since these lines Lib. 21:[203]. were written, Kossuth has made a dishonorable election. He is a trimmer. The spirit of the poem may be judged by extracts: Amidst the roar of public acclamation— Lib. 21:[203]; Writings of Garrison, p. 363. The tempest-greetings of a mighty throng The cannon's thundering reverberation— The civic fete, with toast, and speech, and song— The grand ‘All hail!’ of a rejoicing nation, A m

ot my case. I am the man of the great principle of the sovereignty of every people to dispose of its own domestic concerns; and I most solemnly deny to every foreigner, as to every foreign power, the right to oppose the sovereign faculty. Lib. 21.201. Honor and principle were already lost when these words were uttered. They showed the refugee to have taken out naturalization papers in a slaveholding republic, and to have turned canter in the most approved American fashion. On December 12, 1851, Kossuth issued a formal Lib. 21:[203]. manifesto, touching his purpose in coming over, in which (in vague terms, patterned after the euphemism of the U. S. Constitution in reference to slavery There are two words which one would think Kossuth had never conquered, even in his marvellous mastery of the English tongue— slavery and slaveholding ; and even here, while necessarily alluding to them, he cannot frame his lips to speak their syllables (Wendell Phillips at National A.

supporters and fellow-refugees to Turkey, and companions in exile brought to America on the same vessel, Adolph Gyurman, became one of the editors of the Demokratischer Voelkerbund (the Lib. 22.20. transformed Deutsche Zeitung) in New York on January 1, 1852. He did so with the express approval of his late chief, who bade him resume his journalistic career, and Lib. 22.20. thus essentially serve the cause to which his devotion had been so conspicuous. This certificate bore date of December 22, 1851, and was naturally published along with the prospectus in the first number of the Voelkerbund. But Gyurman, if only temporarily domiciled here, was resolved that it should not be said of him as of Kossuth, Thou art a mere Hungarian—nothing more. Lib. 23.4. He gave notice that his vista would not be merely across the sea. The unlimited critical nature of reason demanded that he should look about him, noting what the free institutions of America offered for imitation in Europ

terference in such questions. And yet there was still ringing in his ears the toast offered by Judge Kane at the Philadelphia Banquet—The Cause Lib. 22.14. of Freedom throughout the World.—Its enemies are the same everywhere, and why should not its allies be the same? A commentary on the same text had been furnished by the experience of Mme. Theresa Pulszky, the highly cultivated wife of Francis Pulszky of Kossuth's suite (his quondam Minister of Foreign Affairs). She, having on Christmas Day, 1851, paid a delightful visit in Philadelphia to Mrs. Mott, expressed admiration of her to some gentlemen, one of whom exclaimed: You do not mean to say that you have called on that lady? Why not? asked Mme. Pulszky, adding that she regretted her inability to repeat the visit. But she is a furious abolitionist. It will do great harm to Governor Kossuth if you associate with that party. But, persisted Mme. Pulszky, if any friend of Governor Kossuth—even if he himself—converses with a

S. Bazaar, Boston, Dec. 27, 1851. Lib. 22: 3).) he reiterated his resolve to hold aloof from the burning question not more of the hour than of the age. I expect it, he said, from all the friends of my cause, not to do anything in respect to myself that could throw difficult country's claims come up, you shall be sure of fifty votes on your side. No, said O'Connell, let God care for Ireland; I will never shut my mouth on the slave question to save her! (Wendell Phillips, speech at the National A. S. Bazaar, Dec. 27, 1851. Lib. 22: 2.)

He tendered to his countrymen on this side of the Atlantic some wholesome parting advice, but with a grave omission as to their duty towards slavery, which Mr. Garrison supplied by appending to the address in the Liberator the Irish Address of 1842. Father Lib. 21.185. Mathew left also his thanks to individuals—to a slaveholder, first of all: to Henry Clay, namely. To the same hollow friend alike of temperance and of freedom, he wrote on December 29, 1851, from Cork, sending good Colton's Private Corr. of Clay, p. 624. wishes and blessings for the New Year to the pride and glory of the United States, and writing himself down the most grateful of your admirers. Father Mathew had, nevertheless, witnessed on the spot the degradation of the North by the passage of the Fugitive Slave Law, thanks to Clay above all other men. He had seen the workings of that measure in all their atrocity —the land stirred as never before, in its good and <

The poem was composed in time for insertion in the volume of Selections from the Writings and Speeches of William Lloyd Garrison already described. A Ante, p. 338. reperusal of it perhaps prompted the following letter: Rev. William H. Furness to W. L. Garrison. Philadelphia, Dec. 30, 1851. Ms. You must let me thank you for the book which I received Writings of Garrison. from you this morning, and which I am glad to possess, and for the valued expression of your regard accompanying your autograph. How heartily I reciprocate it, how entirely I confide in you, I cannot tell you. I wrote to Mr. E. Quincy the other day about Kossuth, and asked him to show you what I said. He may not have thought it worth while, or he may not have had an opportunity. Let me take occa
