The Declaration of American Independence, that noblest, happiestpage in mankind's history (...) cast a ray of consolation (...)over the injured land, whose (...) chief, a wandering exile forhaving dared to imitate you . There is hope for us, because thereis God in heaven and an America on earth (...) I stand where(...) Washington stood (...) if he stood here now (...) he wouldtell you that there was (...) .a cause more just than the causeof Hungary (...) the cause of oppressed humanity. During ourstruggle America was silent and England did not stir, and whileyou were assisted by a French king, we were forsaken by a French republic, itself now trodden down.

(...) I came with hope (...) knowing that where freedom is sown(...) generosity grows; (...) a man who knows (...) there is life in his cause (...) and there must be future yet. (...) We oftenhope without knowing why (...) but the hope (...) with which Icame to the United States was not such. (...) I knew that meet Ishould with two living principles (...) of freedom and (...) ofhospitality (...). The people of this glorious land (...) everwill be attached to this free, great and happy home.

The Eagle ofAmerica flaps its wing (...) fluttering loftily and proudly,tells the tyrants of the world that the right of freedom mustsway, and not the whim of despots, but the law of nations mustrule.
Columbus OH Ohio legislature Feb. 6, 1852.
Almost every century (...) had one predominant idea (...). Thespirit of our age is Democracy. All for the people and all by thepeople. Nothing about the people without the people. That isdemocracy, and that is the ruling tendency of the spirit of ourage. Rejoice, oh my nation, in thy (...) woes ! Even thy presentnameless woes are providential. They were necessary, that thestar-spangled banner (...) should rise over a new Sinai (...) anew Moses (...) with voice of the twenty-five millions "Hearye, despots of the world, henceforth this shall be the law, inthe name of the Lord (...) ."
Columbus OH Friends of Hungary Feb. 7, 1852.
My poor native land (...) all the horrors of a revolution (...)are preferable to what it lives to endure now (...) We have been,by our geographical position (...) the breakwater against everygreat misfortune (...) which rushed over Europe from the East.(...) not only the Turks (...) no, the still more terribleinvasion of Batu Khan's raging millions (...) from the steppes ofTartary, who came (...) to destroy. It was Hungary, which had tostay its flood from (...) the rest of Europe. Nevertheless (...)that suffered is far less than it has to suffer now from thetyrant of Austria, himself (...) but the slave of ambitiousRussia. The Emperor of Austria, fresh with his bloody victories,(...) attacked us in the fullness of his power (...) when we(...) were least prepared to meet it. We were secluded (...)without money, without arms (...) without friends, having nothingfor us but the justice of (...) our cause. but still (...) webeat all the forces of Austria (...) and in despair the proudtyrant fled to the feet of the Czar, begging (...) and paying himby the sacrifice of honor, independence, and all his future.
