It was precisely the same with the Huoga- riane; they, in the first instance, only petitioned for their rights — rights conscerated to them by the lapse of ages ; they were then for a moment —in hour of fear ‘and damger—granted them by the treacherous Austrians. but in short time after- wards again they were invaded and violated and all the promises made by treacherous government were re- voked and annulled. ‘Thus the basest treachery and eit drove the Hupgarians at last into their present position; and the hope, the ardent desire of his soul was that they might succeed, as be doubted not they would, like the ‘Americans who had set such a noble example.

(Loud cheers) Jt appeared to him (Air.

Anim- mense assemblage was congregated in the Park, composed chiefly of the best clasees of our popula- tion—the industrious classes—the masses who toil, character to the age. In this point of view the de- monstration was respectable—highly respectable. actors on the stand, with shame and sorrow.— What !—had the great city of New York—the me- tropolis of the Umted States—the great intellectual | centre of the American republic—no more fitting representatives onan occasion like this, than a score or £0 of broken-down politicians—the very | dregs of Tammany Hall and the Broadway ptoalhapat tis AE) remains of a forgotten age, anda few of the exwvie of the last Presidential cenet in the desperate eeramble for a nomination Jderman, or member of Congress!

In this instance, just as in | almost every other case of great popular gatherings in this country, the occasion was seized upon by wretched hack politicians, in the hope of making out of ita little capital. A paltry knot of socialists— Greeley, Dana, and a few others—first snatched at the movement, and announced the meeting prema- turely and without authority. Then a score or two of brcken-down politicians of the locofoco stamp rushed furiously to the field, followed by a gang of decrepid whigs. The result we have seen. Among the whole of them this meeting, instead of ’ being an honor, is a disgrace to the city of New York. It received the first fatal blow from the ' same officious, intermeddling, reckless soc’ influences which have blasted the hopes of liberty in France, and may destroy them throughout the world ; and it was finally covered with odium and failure by a pack of old party hacks of both po- litical factions. The truth is, all these great popu- lar meetings are pure humbug. It is the press of | this country that gives to public opinion a truthful | ond dignified utterance. Public meetings are got up by mere politicians for their own contemptible | purperes. It only remains for us, now, to call upon the cabi- net at Wechington to recognise the independence | of Hungary without any delay. Let the act be done with the promptnees and decision which becomes this great republic. It is all idle to talk of the necessity of deferring a recognition of Hungerian independence until Austria yields. Long before the independence of Texas was recognised by Mexico, England, France, and the Mnited S| recognived it, end weleomed that gallant State into the fomily of nations. With one voice the Ameri- can people demand the recognition of Ifungarian independence.

It is notorious that while in the wards and regions of the city in which Dives pur- sued his honorable business, or enjoyed his volup- tuous ease, great precautionary measures were taken to cleanse and purify the streets, and aveit the visitation of the destroyer; in those filthy and neglected lanes and alleys where Lazarus starved and rotted the pestilence was allowed to work its deadly will, with hardly any let or hindrance. This is no light accusation; but it isa fearfully solemn truth. What did the authorities ot this dreds every week 2? How many agents of the cor- poration went on a mission of charity among the ges of the Parias of this christian community— swarming with their wretched inhabitants, and the filthiest of the brute creation, dogs and swine— and from which proceeded those pestilential effluvia that swept along the banks of both rivers, carrying thousands to the Potter’s Field? What prompt, energetic, practical efforts were made to cleanse those regions of the city? What attempts were made to render timely and adequate medical aid? None, worthy of the name. The most polluting nuisances were un- touched in the regions of the poor. The herds of swine, and the reeking heaps of filth, and the | the speculator in corn, and the wealthy parson, and the perfumed exquisite, and the great dealer im indigo, teaand tobacco—lived, municipal law manifested no “masterly inactivity.” Not one little bit of ordure eluded the cognizance of its faithfay nose. Not one foot of uncleansed gutter could escape the range of its sleepless eye. All around Union Square aad Fourteenth street, and Astor Place and Eighth street, municipal vigilance kept watch night and day. Over the doomed districts on | of Irish, and German, and native destitution, up town, which aseail and shock every sense of him who enters the city, along the bank of either river, the pestilence was permitted to flap its lurid wings till fairly satiatéd with its prey. Dives had plenty of lime sprinkled around his lordly dwelling to make the air sweet and wholesoine. Lazarug got it mn bis coffin! Nothing can excuse or palliate the conduct of the municipal authorities in this shocking indifference to the condition of the poor during the presence of the pestilence. It has been quite worthy of the oligarchy that rules the city, and which shot dowa twenty-five citizens on the night of the Tenth of May. Whatare these whig municipal authorities made of t Are they of the same material as the authorities of Boston, who have always taken care to tell us that the majority of deaths by cholera were among the foreigners? “Twenty-six deaths to- day—iwenty-one foreigners, five natives!” Oaly a foreigner !—only an Irishman !—only a German! or, more contemptuous still—only “an emigrant” Merciful heaven '—is this a Christian lod? Lave these civie authori human hearts in their bosoms? Thank God, they have little in common with the masses of the American people. In no land under heaven is there a community more dis posed to deeds of love and mercy than ours. Hivery day witnesses acts of individual benevolence which do honor to our nature.

Preranations ror tuk Next Evectiox.—Not much is heard as yet im public of the preparations for the next election in this city and State. Buta terrible din may be heard early im the morning, and sometimes at the dead of night, by those that have ears to hear? Jt 18 not quite time for the dear people, the unsophisticated people, the good-na- tured people, who are “as innocently led by the nose es asses are,” to know much about what is to be done; but it happens that this trme the peo- ple as well as the politicians are busy. A decisive blow will be struck, there is every reavon to be- lieve, against the miserable system of mismanage- ment to which this city has been subjected during the present year.

There the beauty of ‘Tedesco—the science of No- velli—the wonders of the chorus—the mirscles of the ballet, are set off with that appropriate and elaborate puffing or praise sufficient to set the green room off in extacies of dehght—and the rest of the world in ebullinons of merriment.
