Your generous part in my liberation is taken by the world for (…) the fact that theUnited States are resolved not to allow (…) despots of the world to trample on oppressedhumanity.

(…) the protection of God cannot (…) be invoked (…) but in behalf of justice andright. The history of your country is (…) of science (…) refer (… ) to. thenstructions and correspondence between Washington and the Minister at Paris – the (…)immortal Franklin (…) he wrested lightning from heaven, and the scepter from thetyrant’s hand. You have not to fear any single power on earth. (…) the enemies offreedom…consider you as their most dangerous opponent. People of the United States,humanity (…) expects to see you the guardians of the laws of humanity. Let me (…)entreat you, to give your generous sympathy.. for Hungary and pass such resolutions. Youhave poured upon me (…) a welcome such as the world has never (…) seen your generousdeed will be recorded (…) men will hope for (…) freedom on earth, since people (…)like you support its cause. Washington (…) to Lafayette says: ” Let us have twentyyears of peace (…) and (…) we shall be able, in a just cause, to defy any power onearth (…)” Now, in the name of eternal truth (…) there has been no cause morejust than the cause of Hungary (…). If the cause of our people is not sufficiently justto insure the protection of God (…) then there is no just cause, and no justice onearth.. Your own declaration of independence proclaims the right of every nation (…) towhich “the laws of nature and nature’s God” entitle them. On the 4th of July1776, John Adams spoke (…) : “sink or swim, live or die, (…) in the beginning wedid not go so far as separation from the crown, but ‘there is a divinity which shapes ourend”. Those noble words were present to my mind on the 14th April 1849, when I movedthe forfeiture of the crown by the Hapsburgs in the national assembly of Hungary ( …).Your country, before this declaration, was not a self-sustaining state. Hungary was (…)the self-consisting independence of Hungary was never disputed, but was recognized by allpowers of the earth (…). Our declaration of independence was not only overwhelminglyvoted in our congress, but every county, every municipality (…) declared its (…)adherence to it. And so it still remains.

Tyrants are not in the midst of you (…). Gloriousis to see the oppressed of diverse countries, (…) language, (…) history (…)wandering to these shores, and becoming members of this great nation (…). We hear (…)about the greatness of races, the (…) energy of this race, the artistic genius of theother, (…) of intellectual qualities of another.

We have a common enemy (…) arebrothers in arms for freedom and independence. The Croatians and Slavonians (…)repeatedly urged us in common parliament to learn the Hungarian language that (…) theymight also enjoy the benefit of being employed in government offices of our commonHungary. . Our democratic reforms (…) gave (…) equal protection of every tongue andrace (…) equal right to aid out of public funds (…).
