.. SPEECH OF HON. LEWIS CASS, 0* FQRpcw urrERTErripA.

jfoltverei In tke 17. 8. SeMtCt Feb.

Mr. Clarke's non intervention resolutions came up, and Mr. Cass having the floor, made a most el oqoent speech, of which the following is a synop* nr. -1 *-$ bm Jttvm-

He commenced by observing that the aubrtttote he proposed for the resolution of the Senator from Rhode lsisnd, leftjbe field of discussion broad enough to embrace ail the questions which, at this moment so excite the people of thie country. This interest, naturally growing o«t of the flagrant of arbitrary power wresting independence end freedom from Hungary has been rendered yet more powerful from the presence of that remarkable man who is now telling in barring word* die story of bis country's wrongs throughout our country His objection to the origins! resolutions was be Cause of the narrow application designed to be made of the great truths they embrace. His sub stltote, on the contrary, declered unequivocally an opinion upon a great question of public law, and there it etops. leaving u% free' to determine upon oar coarse when the time comes. It makes known our deep concern -at the violation of a great princl pie, ana et the ssme time is a strong conventional! condemnation of the proceeding. Assuming it to be the duty of sll Christian people to recognize international law and to aid its operation, the speaker proceeded to expatiate upon the beauties of the system and the improved condition of society, of wbiob it stands as a beautiful monument.

He then went on to say the time has come when we have as much power to speak authoritatively on this subject as any other nation on the face

globe. *AII we want, while professing the duty of obedience, is that other nations ahould equally obey it. There is none so high as to be above its obligslitions and none so low as to be beneath its protection. We believe in the right and in the ca pacity of man for self government, not that he is everywhere prepared for institutions like ours we know, while we regret, that he is nol but we believe that he is everywhere fitted, even now, for taking some part in the administration of political affairs, greater or less, in proportion to his experience snd condition and that everywhere, with time and practice, he may improve himself and his government, till both become as free as the stste of society will permit. And certainly, the expression of the warm hope that this time will come, and come speedily, is consistent with every respect for other powers. Ws claim no right to interfere in their infernal concerns. While we are firm believers in our own political faith, we enter into no crusade to establish it elsewhere. Propagandist! is no pert of our crrod, unless it be thst propagandist! which works its own way by the force of example, thus inviting the oppressed nations of earth to do as we have done, and to be as free and happy as we are. But we cannot be indifferent to the condition of the human race, however widely scattered. A desire for its improvement, morally and materially, is a sentiment natural to man. And an American oan hardly shut himself up in his own selfish egotism, thanking God, in the spirit of the Pharisee, that his country is better off than any other, and be indifferent to the oppression, and degradation, and misery which centuries of bad government have entailed upon so large a portion orthe earth. 'Unless the many were made for the few, the governed for the governors, our sympsthiesthouldbe excited, as were those of Washington, for every people unfurling the banner of freedom and a "God speed them'° be uttered, not only in the effort to improve their political system, but in the greater effort to msintaln it, by improving the condition of the great body of those for whom governments are instituted &

After referring to the catalogue of Austrian cruelties, and particularly to the oppressive acts against the relatives of Kossuth, he declared all that was wanted was a fair field—*that whenever a struggle is commenced to overthrow an arbitrary government, other despotio powers should not be permit* ted to take part in the oontest. and with foreign bayonets decide the issue. Such is our desire and this principle of non-interference is well established in the oode of public law. It lies at the very foundation of national independence.

Mr. Cass next examined the conduct of Russia and Prussia in the dismemberment of Poland, and grasping its territories within their own boundaries, order to rescue it from the dangers of freedom and independence. Turning from thia subject, he treated of Russia's armed intervention to put down independence and free institutions In Hungary, for no other reason but because the Emperor was denot have the examnation acquiring

iom and independence by their own exertions. Here waa a gross infraction of the law of nations, striking, not only at personal liberty, but et public independence, and eepecially offensive to die free States of the world, both by the violation of a great principle dear to them, and by the example of an armed intervention to put down all personal freedom in Hungary, and to threaten it wherever else Hs manifestations might be near enough to be un welcome to the Russian Gear.

Under these circumstances, what might other powers of the earth say or do by which their opinions or intentions might be made known in this grave conjuncture? waa it their duty to look on, not only the witnesses of injustice, without the means of redressing it, but acquiescing, by their silence, in this monstrous outrage, and in the pretensions which led to it, till the despotic sovereigns might interpolate this right of interference intothe Code of public law, and thus assume to exercise a surveillanoe over tbo other governments of the world. The system of international law would sot be worth the paper 00 whioh it waa written, il such example of contempt tor the feoKngs end rights of aaakind admitted neither rssistanee MMremonstrance.

Mr. Case quoted the worda of Lord Palassrsioct in the House of Commons: *»l do ne* think the

ments in the affairs of this country, and stated though these principle* had been violated by France in the La Plata affair, and by England ftu the Mos quito question, yet no war had grown out of the vi oiation. If the maintenance of national indepen de nee on this side of the Atlantic is dear to us, and the interest we feel in it allows ns to express oar opinion upon its just inviolability, I see no reason which forbids os to extend the same views elsewhere, as we have material interest* as well as nax oral sympathies connected with this immunity of all nitions and the course we shall adopt is, therefore a question of expediency and not of principle. Gertatnly solemn public declarations of this nature ahould not, would not, indeed, often be made, for their frequent occurrence would impair, if not destroy their moral effect. They should be reserved for those extraordinary events affecting the honor and stability of all nations which stana prominently forward in the history of the world—characteristics, fas fact, of the age in which they occur. Let no man, therefore, object that such a conservative remedy, (for once tito epithet is a just one.) wiil lead to abate, or destroy itself by too frequsnt application. We ought neither to mistake our position, nor neglect tbe obligations it brings with it

There afe no considerations of right or of expediency to restrain ns from such a course for, as I tnveebewn, we are just as free to act or forboar after such a declaration, as before. But it has been asked. Why proclaim your opinion, unless you mean to maintain it by the strong bandf For tbe same reason that countless representations and remonstrances have been made by independent powers, when tbey had reason to apprehend tbe adoption of measures hostile to just principles of national intercommunication: to mark the disapprobation of the act and of tho doctrine, that their silence might not be construed inlo acquiescence and that when, in the mutatibn of political affairs, the proper time should come, they might interpose effectually, if they should desire it, not concluded by tbe success of violence, nor by the lapse of time thst the power itself, cootempfatiog the step, might pause, and review its position and its pretensions, and the consequences to whioh it might be led, not knowing, of course, what measures might follow there appeals to its sense of right, should they fail to be effectual and, above all, that the public opinion of the world should be rightly instructed, and brought to aid in these peaceful efforts to preserve the rights of m||ikind. And let .no man underrate the power of this mighty engine for good. It will go on, from conquering to conquer, tilt its influence is everywhere estsblis^d and recognised.

He was for *pressin^enerous and noble sentiments into the service of his country.' We are rebuked for advocating such sentiments, and the everlasting fear that some terrible calamity is to befall us within tbe oourse of the next ten centuries, we depart one inch from the trodden path, paralyses many a clear head and many a sound heart, and sends them for refuge to the stand-still policy policy unfit for the age, unacceptable to the merican people, and unworthy of our country and ita instutions.—Many objections, more or less plausible, bava been presented to deter uit from any action in this matter, but not one of them with more confidence or pertinacity, nor with less regard to the true circumstances of our position, than that which warn us that by such a proceeding we should violate alike traditions

and the advice of our wisest statesman, and especially tbe injunctiona of Washington and Jefferson. Never were just recommendations more inappropriately applied, than in this attempt to apply the views of thoso great men to the circumstances in which we are placed. Non-intervention, it ia said, was the policy they maitained, and the legsoy Ihey bequeathed to us: but it possible that a single Amerioan be found, whs believes that those patriots would condemn the deelaration|of his coun. try's opinion upon the great question of publio raw, because they condemned its interference with tba affairs of other nations? The whole history of Washington's Administration oontradicted such a construction of his farewell address.

of Europe against the shelter afforded bv England political refugees, admonish us that, if the pretensions succeeds there, our time of trial wduld come next. The broad ocean is not broad enough eeparate the victims of despotism from the jealous wrath of the oppressor, who might well fear that the gales of the Atlantio would bear to his dominions that loud note of sympathy which marks the interest the Amerioan people lake, and which Washington took, in the struggle* of freedom.— Well, sir, if this work goes, and the decree goes forth to the world, either by declaration or by action, are we to wait till the storm bursts upon as before we even raise a voice in support of national and natuaal rights! No sir he should recommend such timid policy would find bis countryman far ahead of him in their generous appreciation of their rights and their duties. Distinct manifeatauons of each an intention to attack the independence gf England for such a cause, would rotiiM a spirit of indignation in thb country w?4ich would not be diverted from Hs purpose by the oold allegation that we intervene in tbe affairs of other nations when we pronounce our judgement upon a monstrous pretension, utterly incompatible with the most sacred attributes of independenoe, and that to do so is to form 'entangling alliances,' and 'artificial ties.'
