Two Democratic Administrafions FRANK HAMMOND IN FREMONT TRIBUNE. ‘Recently when reading Ellis’ Standard History of the United States, | came across an incident that so strongly illustrates the degling in American spirit, under two democratic administrations, that I cannot, refrain/ from referring to it for publie information. ... The incident; red during the presidency of Franklin Pierce {inf the'year 1853, Duing 1852 Loujs Kossuth, a noted Hungarian "patriot, and others, came to Amerioa to solicit aid for the struggle ‘their country was making for liberty against Austria and Russia. In the party was one Martin Kossta. He was so pleased with thin country he decided not to return to Austria but remained and went . into. business in New York City. At the proper time he declared " his intention to becoms & citizen of the United States. L " _Hatching of a Plot. - The next year (1858) he had business in Smyrna, and while - sojourning in that city a plot was hatched by the Austrians for his .- capture because he had offended the Austrian government in not returning to his native country with Kossuth, He was taken aboard - an Austrian gunboat, the Huzzar, and put in irons. During the excitement over this event an American sloop of war, the St. Louis, + under Captain Ingraham, came into the harbor. ' The captain was hastily informed of the situation. He: thought (probably foolishly, in the light of recent events) that a man who was in pursuit of his lawful business, and who was a citizen of the United States, or had declared his intention to become one, was entitled to the protection zf the American flag in any part of the world. Captain Ingraliam ent at onge to the Huszar, and after considerable parleying ob- tained permission to interview Koszta. He then demanded Kosata's release, which was refused. Ingraham despatched a note to. the nearest United States official who was at Constantinople, and ex- acted a promise from the Austrian commander of the Huzzar to await a reply. L While waiting for word from Constantinople six more Austrian gunboats came into the harbor. The thrilling events that followed ure interestingly told by Historian Ellis, He says ‘‘On June 29th, before any answer had come from Consul Brown, the 8t. Louis noticed unusual signs of activity on board the Huzzar, and pretty soon she began to get under way. Decks Cleared for Action. Captain Ingraham immediately put the 8t. Louis in such a posi- tion that the Huzzar could not pass, and cleared his decks for action. The Huzzar hove to and then Captain Ingraham went General Salazar, in addressing a body of American citizens at Caloria Dublan, spoke in substantially this e ) / of » PRILADELPHIA ol Human Liberty .

If you do I shall be compelled to re- sort to extreme measures,’’ | ““The Austrian looked around the harbor at the line of friendly warships, and then looked at the 8t. Louis with her decks cleared, and smiled pleasantly at Captain Ingraham and said that he thought such remarks were extremely rash, and the Huzzar would do as it flluud. Ingraham bowed and betook himself to the.St. Louis. He ad no sooner got aboard than he ordered ‘Clear the guns for ac- tion.” The Huszar returned to its anchorage, ®* * * * On the after- noon of July 1st Captain Ingraham received his reply. The consul at Constantinople commended his coyrse, and told him to do what- ever he thought best to prevent an outrage to an American citizen. Late that evening Cag!.;in Ingraham sent an officer aboard the Huzzar with a note. e note formally demanded the release of Mr. Kossta and said that unless the prisoner was delivered aboard the St. Louis by 4 o'clock the next afternoon, Captain Ingraham would take him from the Austrians by force. This was refused. {At 8 o’clock the next morning Ingraham once more cleared his decks for action and trained his batteries so the Huzzar would get their full force at the first discharge. The seven Austrian gunboats cleared their decks and put their men at the guns, Brave Ingraham Stsnds Firmly. - ‘““All this while great excitement prevailed in Smyrna; and when the citizens saw these last hostile demonstrations they crowded the shores, eager to see the one-sided battle which all knew would not end so long as the American flag floated above water. At 10 o’clock the Austrian sent an officer to Ingraham, who tried to temporize, but Ingraham refused to listen to him. He {said ‘To aveid the worst, I will agree to let the man be delivered to the French Cousul in Smyrna to give your government a chance |to act. But he must be delivered then, or I will take him. I can- not fail. My cause is just. I have stated the time.’ ‘“‘Again the Austrian sent a man to Captain Ingraham. This time the latter refused to receive him. Then the Austrian consul- general came out from Smyrna, and tried his diplomacy. Captain Ingraham simply repeated that the French consul must have Koszta by 4 o’clock or there would be trouble. At 12 o’clock a boat left the side of the Huzzar with Koszta in it, and one hour afterward the French consul sent word that Kossta was in his keeping, Later in the day several of the Austrian war vessels sailed out of {the harbor.” | In due time matters were fixed up when Austria admitted the gniud States was right, apologized, and released all claims to Mr. oszta.

Does that story tead like the history the present administration is writing? I guasS\not.’ If this case had come up to Mr. Wilson he would have promptly cabled Captain Ingraham to let the Aus- trians have Mr, Koszta; that he was probably in Smyrna for the purpose of buying rugs to make money by selling them in New York City, and the government of the United States could not ree- ognize the rights of any citizen engaged in such an ignoble under. taking. He would further have said to Captain Ingraham, ‘‘O course you are wrong. Can’t you see those s¢ven Austrian gun- boats in the habor? Sail out to sea at once or you may have war. What's the life of'an American when compared to a serap,’’ (that didn’t happen), What a difference in American spirit under these two demo- cratic presidents, Franklin Pierce-and Woodrow "Wilson! Sixty ears ago it meant something to be an American citizen either at ome or abroad. The protecting folds of the American flag was an emblem of safety on every sea and in any country. Sixty years ago was nearer the time when the fathers laid the foundations of the government amidst the smoke of battle, and the fibre of real Americanism ran through bone and sinew of the citizenship, Strength of Courage and Justice. I am no more anxious for war than any other peaceable citizen, and do not believe war is necessary when a firm attitude is main- tained in a righteous cause. The incident detailed above emphasizes the fact that one warship with a brave ‘commander and a just de- ounce of blood. Can any one read this incident out of our national history and not feel a thrill of pride and glory in the protection afforded American ¢itizens at that time? When contemplating the events of the past few years under the Wilson administration the true-blue American must hang his head for shame when he fully realizes the low estate to which the protecting power of the United States has fallen, American citi- zens in peaceful and lawful pursuits murdered, maimed and out- raged in Mexico, and drowned at sea, like rats in a trap, and for such offenses paper pellets are fired at the enemy from the White House in Washington. Each recurring outrage only draws another broadside of paper and ink! Isn’t this a real government with a vengeance! And then wanting to be continued in power on such a record! Did the world ever witness such a sublime spectacle of brazen impudgnce! No, my dear voter, we cannot stand for such a travesty on government, and on coming election day we should vote the republican party into power that will carry us back to some of the early practices of even the democratic party that has drifted so far away from the ideals of the fathers.
