B staked his life and Mts Mberty for a cause that had eftem been proved hopeless—the cause of Hungarian Uberty. And he made good, Hungary was bound to Austria by « union which gave Hungary practically no rights and which per mitted Austria to bully and oppress the Magyars to their hearts’ content. Often the Hungarians had tried to free themselves from this iniquitous bondage, But always by force of arms Austria had forced them back into the union, i Louis Kossuth was a lawyer and newspaper man. From earliest manhood he avowed himself the cham- pion of Hungarian liberty. His first open step in this direction was to get Austria, By 1848 he had awakened his fellow-Magyars to a fury of patriotic zeal. The ancient Magyar language was revived (for Kossuth believed that a conquered nation which retains its own language holds the key to its prison) and Hungary demanded certain sweeping reforms from their Aus- trian rulers. Presently the patriots cast off the Austrian yoke and declared Hungary a free country with Louls Kossuth as its dictator, Austria declared war on the rebels and enlisted Russia as an ally in putting down the revolt. But the Magyars were ready for the foe, Kossuth had seen to that, His General, Gorzei, thrashed the Russian and Austrian armies before the two could combine. | He beat the Austrians in five successive battles, The road to Vienna lay open before him. Gorzel need only have advanced on the Austrian eap- ital, as Kossuth wished him to, in order to enforce Hugary’s claim to freedom, But Gorzel did nothing of the kind. He turned back and wasted precious time in driving an Austrian garrison out of Pesta. Kossuth be- lieved Gorzei was bribed to do this—a charge which may or may not have |been proved by the fact that this General was one of the few patriots whom Austria did not punish for the uprising. In any case, his delay gave the Russians and the Austrians time to com- bine into one huge army which swept over Hungary and conquered the patri- |ots by sheer weight of numbers, The revolution was overthrown. Kos- suth fled for his life to Turkey, where he was again cast into prison. His associates were punished with horrible cruelty, Foreign intervention at last won Kossuth's releaso from prigon; and in abe he fame ite anerion, Here his speeches and Ee t Wunee tous @ whole United States to a frei H conte Wonka: j of indignation over.
