HUNGARY.
fallen! Napoleon's prophccy
is fulfilled—Europe I» O«b«u.c1v! Where is the
free heart that does not curse England ami
France, who might have driven back the Rus
sian horde—saving the last hope of liberty—
and who in turn may now feel the iron heel that
tramj les in blood the heroic Magyar? The
tragedy of Poland—the partition and plunder
—is to be enacted on the plains of Hungary
Despotism laps its tongue in patriot blood—re
publicanism, haggard, driven to the wall, ex
pires amid theorgie pieans of barbarian victory.
Can it bo that glorious,gallant Hungary has fall
en? And fallen, too, on the altar of apparent
treachery. Can it be that the Gorgey, whose
name has inspired our eulogy, has yielded to
the glitter of Russian gold? Alas! we fear it
is so. That he should, in the name of his na^
tion, and it tho head of 10^000 mc-n and 80 can-'J
non, while Comorn was yet defiant to the Aus
trians, surrender without a pledge for the liber
ty or livos of his countrymen, looks fearfully
like dark and damr.able treachery.
Yet, Hungary may not be lost. Kossuth,
the great and noble Kossuth, survives, and still
breathes the language of freedom and defiance.
Ho, like a rock in the midst of a sand-waste on
which the warring storm beats, st 11 buffets
the waves of despotism^ but it is almost hopo
less that he can lonj withstand the myriad foes
of Hungary. And Berni too, is faithful to the
last, and Dembinski, and Klapka. O, better
than to yield, were it for them in some Ther
mopylae to unite, and like the three hundred
Spartans, give their lives for their country. It
would bo a seed fruitful as the dragon's teeth
in future times, when the Magyar shall rise
from his servitude to overwhelm his oppressors.

And must the intsreaj^

latura, with the consent of Congress.
Any one at all acquainted with the Legis
lative history of the States, knows that this
is not a new plan—that it was the riusr
plan under the Constitution, and consequent
ly, the proper plan for. surely the spirit of
the Constitution was understood by the il
lustrious pien who framed it, and by the no
less patriotic mon who adoptedjt--for the
fundamental law.
The men of those days acted under the
belief that it was not only the right, but the
duty of the States, to improve their own
harbors, and to apply to this purpose—not
tie domestic, revenue of tlie State, but are
venue, raised with^reference to tha special
object to bo promoted. And ovon now
now, in these days of doubt and opinion
in these days of wide construction, and nar
row' construction—neither consolidation's
nor centralizationists—nor whigs, nor de
mocrats, deny to the States respectively,
this power. All are decidedly unanimous
upon this question. More than this, a large
minority, if not a decided majority, ure of
opinion, and act upon that opinion, that this
is tho only constitutional plan—the only
.plan which they can "aid und comfort."
Had the plan here suggested been adopt

tbe Public Squares in the City of
Dubiiq'v, and declaring thai, they shall re
tnaiajbrtver for public use,,as public high
ways. and for other public uses? Now, it
must be conceded, that tbe Public Squares,
as squares, must, re maid forever for public
use by the law and that said public use
must be common to all the citizens of Du
buque. Can it ba successfully contradicted
that a school house, erected for the use of
the Second Ward of this City, is of that
character—free to all. Admitting that it
was a high school, (of which we have heard
so much) does it make the case any better?
Would it not then be virtually, and in fact a
grant of the square for a special object—th&t
is to say, for School purposes? The square
would then lose its public character, in be
ing converted into a play ground for school
children. Even if a high school should be
established thereon, it would be only for
the accommodation of a small part of the
community, unless all of our citizens should
take it into their heads to become students
in this celebrated high institution—which
is not very probable.
Congress indirectly intended that it should
be, and remain, a public square, (what its
name purports,) wjthout being built up with
churches, school houses, or colleges and the
City Council have djna what they no doubt
