Kossuth errs, all
err, who ask any intervention by government. Individuals may do as they please,—
stepping to the verge of the law of nations, but the government cannot act.
Depend upon it, you will run against a post if you push that idea. Enthusiast
for freedom, I am for everything practical; but that is not practical.
