      THE HUNGARIAN HEROINE . . ' Ho TTonder the brave sons of Hungary fougit with rach invmribffity and patriots ardour when the tfteit of her ¦ dan ^ jtepssst tBemanoUe examine . of unflindjins heroism , and Edf-deniaL Such was the case with that iutrepia . joung lady , Hiss AppoBonia ^ Jazeno-wiio , mounted as an hussar , dealt wonnds and death on the imadersofhercountr / s fteedoin . At other- times , with all a woman ' s tenderness , she sought to alienate the sufferings of her raliant countrymen who had been wounded in those eTer-memorable and hardly-contested battles in behalf of liberty , which have elevated the Hungarian people so high in the estimation of all nations . . - Slay the name of this brave young lad ; be held as high in tte estimation of the people of every land as that of the foul , ' black-hearted villain , and accursed traitor < Geoigev ' s has sank low into disgrace and shame ... Hail ! heroic daughter of a wronged , but Boble race !

      Fain would Freedom ' s Muse a tribute pay To thee , whose soul , endowed with womanly grace , Dared to uurl defiance at Despotic sway . "What finer trait could Hungary ' s sons desire Than thine , when , dauntless on the gory field , Thou , fearless , faced the RusstHAustrian fire , And proved 'twas nobler to combat than yield ? Scatheless , amid their serried ranks you dashed , Unharmed , as though you bore a charmed life : Inspired by Freedom , forth your spirit flashed , And led the Patriots to the ensanguined strife , Like some bright Angel flying o ertheplain , Heading the unflinching , valiant Magyar band ; Unheeding death , thy Nation ' s Bight to gain , And . wrest from tyrant-rule thy Father-land . " Arise ! to arms J" was Kossuth ' s loud appeal ! " Arise ! to arms ! " resounded through the

      land ; Then Hungary ' s sons rushed forth with burning zeal , ¦ To crash the accursed foe with blade and brand ; - By Freedom ' s sacred cause were they inspired—For Freedom ' s own they sought the bloody fight ! Tiir . trait ' rous Georgey , gainst the brave conspired , And basely sold his snfring country ' s right . "Tis not for ever Hungary ' s sun hath set ; For , ' like the Fhoenix , fabled bird of yore , Sisiny , triumphant from her ashes , yet Shall hurl the tyrant from despotic pow ' r . "With sons so brave , and daughters such as thee , I marvel not such val ' rou 3 deeds were done ; And still that spirit yearning to be free , Shall struggle onward 'till the goal is won .

      Oh ! not for long shall vile oppression sway With ruthless hand—as o ' er a conquered race—Thy country ' s weal ; for there will come a day Of retribution , —nor will her sons disgrace The holy cause—for which , still unsubdued , They ' ve nobly shed their best and bravest blood ; A hero each—the ensanguined strife renewed , Host vict ' ry give , o v erwhelming as a flood !

      The KED EEPUBLICAN , Edited by G . Julian Harney . Nos . 7 and 8 . London published by S . Y . Collins , 113 , Fleetatreet . ¦ . It is a good sign when a publication increases in value as it increases in age ; and , decidedly , these two numbers of the Red Republican ( for August 3 rd and Angust 10 th )

      • ste the best / written , most spirited , and un-¦ compromisiiig of the numbers hitherto published . Commencing in No . 7 , and concluding in No . 8 , is an elaborate review of "Palmer-Eton ' s Policy . " The reviewer , while pulverising Palmerston ' s pretentions to the character of a "Liberal , " at the same time exposes the trucnlency of . the Tories , and the humbug of the Peace-mongers . Commenting -011 these latter gentry , the Editor of the Republican observes that-

      —The non-interventionists and peace-at-any-price men were represented in the discussion by Sir Win . ilolesworth and Mr . Cobden . The former , though he opposed the vote of confidence , avowed himself -to be " a willing follower of her Majesty ' s ministers , and a cordial supporter of their domestic policy . " The member of Southward is a precious reformer ! The member for the "West Riding , in pursuing the -course he took , certainly acted with consistency . Believing , to quote the words of Mr . Gockburn , " that man was created by heaven for growing , manufacturing , and consuming cotton . " Mr . Cobden very naturally objects to all interference in the

      af--feir e of other countries - , such interference being calculated to add to the national expenditure , and diminish the profits of the manufacturers . Mr . -Cobden no more favours democracy than does Palmerston or Stanley . True , he sympathises with foreign nations "struggling for liberty up to the point we have attained . " Mark , net the "point " of democracy , —not to the " poiet" of republicanism , but merely to the " point" of the blessed British Constitution—the humbug of Queens , Lords , and Commons—the rule of landlords and usurers ! But even to the " point" he does go , he holds to the principle of non-intervention , and ^ vows that he would have denounced the

      interference of our government on behalf of Hungary , as ie denounced the attack upon that country- by Russia : a precious sympathiser ! Seeing his fellowman straggling for life and liberty against a band of brigands , the generous millocrat would vent much virtuons indignation against the assailants and would wish the assailed well out of his trouble , but -the devil a bit would he lend a helping hand to save the victim from the murderous designs of his ruf"Sanly enemies . Front such sympathisers " good Lord deliver us . " Of such non-intervention there has been too much already . Upon that policy the English government acted when the allied tyrants crushed the constitutionalists of Spain and Naples .

      Again , -when Austria trampled upon the Italian patriots of 1831 . Again ,-when Cracow was annexed to Austria . Again , when the brigand armies of Trance , Spain , Austria , and Naples , invaded and -destroyed the Roman Republic . And again , when Russia hurled her Cossacks against Hungary . As ¦ long as despotism exists in Europe , —as long as a single people shall groan under the oppression of a foreign power , —so long the principle of non-intervention is impossible . By the tyrants it will be -scorned and repudiated , and if acted upon at all , it

      -can only be bv those who will use it as a cloak to ¦ cover cowardice and dishonesty—by those who ought to intervene for the protection of the weak against the powerful , but who , deserting their duty , will seek to disguise their treason to humanity , by professing to act in the name of a " principle "—a principle -which , tinder existing circumstance ? , is -opposed to the welfare of the peoples , the freedom -of nations , and the progression of the human race . The Editor of the Red Republican truly Adds : —

      The Tones would make common cause with the ¦ tyrants against the nations . The "Whigs would patronise reform to the extent of admitting the iourg&oisie to share the despotism of princes and aristocrats . The Manchester school would intro--duce the little shopomcy to share the political and social supremacy claimed by the classes above them . All three make common cause against the masses . All three hate democracy as the devil is said to hate holy water . All three are the sworn enemies of democratic and social justice . And against all three the people of all lands must proclaim " war to the knife . " The Editor has two other " whole hog " articles in these numbers . The one entitled

      " Soyal Paupers and Plunderers , " and the © ther " Bringing Royalty into contempt , " founded upon the Parliamentary grant to tie new Duke of Cambridge , and the voting of Manborough House to the Prince of Wales—W ^ K «« ne years of age .

      or even so small , as the allowance granted to the Dnke of Cambridge , so that—to use an expressive cockneyism—John Bull will be "in for it !' . In the meantime we cannot but express ou t satisfaction at the defeat of such humbugs as " Old Joe , " who strained at £ 12 , 000 a year , but would have swallowed £ 10 , 009 . If the people are to be plundered , we desire they should be robbed on a grand scale . " Such votes as the one we have been commenting on afford us intense satisfactionbecause tending to impress the too-unthinkiag millions with the importtneo of the lesson left to them by Mitros , that the cost of the mere trappings of Monarchy would more than cover the legitimate { menses of a Republic .

      The new dodge of " A Penny Monument to Sir Robert Peel , " is admirabl y exposed in a most ably written article , entitled "Middle Class Dodges , and Proletarian Gullibility in 1850 . " , J "I am free to confess , " says the writer , "that however great may be the talent for sleight-ofhand tricks , however monstrous the humbu > nnd hypocrisy of the bourgeois leaders , as displayed in their recent dealings with the proletarians , yet the latter possess a proportionately great capacity for being deceived b y these tricks—for swallowing that humbug . An immense fund of proletarian simplicity and credulity exists , as so much raw material

      , to he worked up for the private purposes of Messrs . Walmsley , Cobden , Bright , and Co . ; and to do these gentlemen justice , their assiduity is remarkable ; there is no slack time with them . Dodge follows dodger-like Banquo ' s kings—in apparently interminable succession ; whilst gaping crowds of starving disfranchised slaves surrrouud the stage where these political charlatans and thimbleriggers play their tricks , and sell their nostrums to . the fools ' who take the selfish dogmas of the Manchester school to be the Word of Life , and the Comtnittee of the 1 Parliamentary and Financial Reformers to be so many new Evangelists who preach salvation to the people .

      After an elaborate review of the entire humbug , the writer concludes with the following eloquent outburst : — What , I ask in God ' s name , did Sir Robert Peel ever do for the Proletarians of England , that they should honour his memory * Is it on account of his Currency Bill of 1819 ?—by which he feathered his own seat pretty well , at the expense of the taxpayers If on this account a Proletarian Monument to Peel , why not a Proletarian Temple to Hudson ? Wh y not . a general A potheosis and new Proletarian Calendar of all the Saints of Mammonworship ? I challenge any one to point a single measure of Sir Robert Peel ' s that has really made the condition of the Proletarians better than it was before that

      measure became law . ; I would gladly acknowled ge his claims on the' gratitude of his suffering countrymen , but no such claims exist . His political career may be summed up in a eingle sentence ; he first patronized the landlords , then the moneyhrds , and left the Proletarians to shift for themselves . You Proletarian fools , who spent , or » re going to spend , your hard-earned money on a monument in honour of a . man whose whole life was devoted to the cause of your deadly enemies , be constsitnt ! Bow down before the golden calf whatever shape it may assume ! Kiss the feet of the tithe-gathering , mitred priests , who pretend to be the followers of the meak and lowly Jesus ! Do homage to the whole host of Protectiomstlandowners , free trading bourgeois profitmongers . Jewish moneylenders .

      thunblerigging fundholdera , stockbrokers , and speculators , who are draining your very lifeblood ! If you accept the present system of society without protest , and raise monuments to the man who did all in his power to uphold it—then you must go a step further , you must also accept all the results of that system of social arrangements , all the consequences which logically follow from the principles of selfSshness and class-legislation at the bottom of that * system . Beside the Peel monument and the Hudson Temple , you must raise altars to famine and pestilence , to physical suffering and moral degradation . You must worship the genius of misery and crime . You must rejoice at the approach of the typhus fever which rages in the unwholesome dwellings of the poor , and exult in the prostitution of your wives and daughters for a morsel of bread .

      A feature of this publication , not to be found in any other , is that of translations from the " Democratic and Socialist Literature of the Continent . ' ' Commencing in No . 2 , there has been continued in each number a complete translation of the new work of Joseph Mazzmi , the Roman Triumvir . " Republic and Royalty in Italy , " is a work which should be read by every one desirous of becoming acquainted with the true history of the late Italian struggle . A reference to the columns

      of the Bed Republican will show that the Italian cause was lost not so much through foreign invasion , as by domestic treason— the treason of the Princes and the Moderates of Italy . An account of the " Institutions-and Laws of Kepublican America , " is another valuable feature of the Red Republican . In the matter of Poetry , this publication is unr ivalled . The "Revolutionary Hymn of the Milanese , " in No . 8 , is a splendid composition , but too lengthy for extract We must , however , make room for the third of

      PROSPECTS OP LABOUR : IN TOWN AND COUNTRY : _ UNITED STATES .-At this moment , wo judge from inquiry and observation on a recent inland trip , there mMitbe work found in the agricultural districts of our country for half a million sturdy , resolute men and for nearly as many women . At the same time all our cities are crowded with surplus " hands , " willing to worVyet doing nothing , because no work is offered them , but vainly seeking " something to do . ; Yet , in spite of all remonstrances , thousands rush from the country to the cities , while comparatively few scatter from the cities through thecountry . And at very short intervals we are made heartsick by the inquiry , " Gan ' t you tell me where I may find something to do ? " . Something to do J Why what a place this is to

      seek it ! Here we are , six hundred thousand human beings on an area of five miles square—crowded , heated , sweltering , suffering . There is not work enough here , and cannot be , for a fourth of those who are here , or , on the first intimation that they can have work , would instantly come here . We produce next to no food on this narrow speck of earth , yet food we must have , to the value of many millions per annum , with cloth , timber , fuel , &c . Three-fourths of us have a hard job to live , and could hot do it if we did not work harder than the mass of country people have any idea of . A few thousands are very wealthy , and can afford to live anywhere ; rather a . larger number have good incomes from their business , and are saving

      something ; but the gfeat mass live ' quite up to their means and think they live lean enough at that . Many of our young unmarried men . aro earniDg or making good incomes , and squandering the bulk of them in perilous and ruinous dissipations , as they will one day realize and ' rue . But the great majority of our people work hard , live poorly , save noshing , and have their match to get by quarter-day . For poor women and for poor men w ith large helpless families , there is no life so hard as that of a great city . Rent , fuel , food , are all dear here , while labour commands but little more than a fair country price / At this moment , day labour commands 1 dollar 12 J cents ., and it has with difficulty obtained this , and will find still zreater diffinnltv in

      keeping it . A labourer must be hearty and lucky who obtains 250 days" work in a year , which would yield him 281 J dollar * in the course of a year , supposing he gets all his due . Now a very middling house in a middling location rents for 400 dollars a year , and a ^ poor family can hardly find a shelter ( two rooms and a closet ) that costs less than 80 dollars a year . Decent wood for fuel will ' cost a poor man 8 dollars per cord ; milk is sixpence per quart , and any handful of vegetables costs as much , The day-labourer with a wife and two dependent children who finds himself as well off on the last day of December as he was on the 1 st of January

      preceding , has done well . There is a little better chance for the better-paid mechanics—machinists , ship-builders , hatters , < tc . ; but not for shoemakers , slop-work tailors , and many others . Even of those who have the best wages and earn from 10 dollars to 15 dollars per week , not one in ten saves anything , though we think they should . But it is hard to crowd a family into , two rooms when it is possibles pay for three or four , and so with regard to denying children fruit , milk ; early vegetables , & . C . And if a . poor man allows himself to think of comfort as well as economy , his chance of saving is small . ¦ .

      Wostate these ' . facts in order to enforce our entreaty to men and women who can . live in the country not to crowd into the cities ; Some young men who have talent , energy and means to livo here until they can find or make a position , and whose particular gift qualifies them to be useful only or mainly in a city , will come , and ought to come ; but for the great majority even of single men this course is mistaken , while to ; bring a family here without an assurance , of steady . employment and twice as much pay as would support that famil y in a country village , is reckless—criminal . . The down-trodden millions of Europe are crowding to our shores ; and will continue to throng mtner i

      . ney ougnt to come , and can generally do well if they lore work and loathe strong drink . But even these—though most of them can live oh half that would subsist an American—oug ht to hurry through our seaports without stopping and plant themselves firmly on the soil . Three years ' extra rent in a city would buy a decent cottage and ten fair acres in the country ; and an able-bodied man who holds his cot and ten acres ought to be above asking favours of any one . Still , there will always be enough immigrants stopping in the seaports—many too poor or too ignorant to do otherwise—to keep labour relatively much lower here than elsewhere . ¦ -

      The cities , -then , must swarm . We hoped-we might he able before Congress adjourned to' pro ^ claim the public lands free , and exhort every needy man to hasten thither and take possession of a home . We now fear that Congress has wasted so much time in wrangling about slavery that noth i ng decisive will be done with the land question . . But free land is certain . It will come before another presidential election , and it is high time the labouring poor were qualifying themselves to accept and improvethe blessing . There are tens of thousands in our city—hundreds of-thousands in our seaports generally—who ought to be learning the use of the axe , the plough , the scythe , the pruning-hook , preparatory to the glad hour which shall witness the

      recognition of the right of all to homes . Our labouring poor are unwisely ' shortsighted , which is one reason for their remaining poor . Fifty Irishmen or Germans land here some morning and want work . Suppose three chances are o | mnto them : —1 . To atop , in the city and work as labourers ( when they can get work ) for nine shillings per day ; 2 . To go two or three hundred miles inland , and work on a railroad at ninety cents per day ; or ; 3 . To work for good farmers at eight dollars per month for a year—of course ; with board and washing , and no deduction for bad weather . Now , half these men will accept the-first offer and the other half the second ; while ' ' scarcely ono will think the third chance worth his . notice , and yet i ;

      is the best of the three . At the end of the year , the farmer ' s men will have saved quite as much as the others , while they have learned what is more to them than all their savings ; Ten years' hence , the city labourers and the railroad-graders will bo just as poor , and not nearly so strong and clastic ^ as when they landed , while the farmer ' s men will very likely have farms and dwellings of their own . Our farmers nearly all cultivate their soil with too little labour—in other wordB , they don't half cultivate it . A very common excuse is that labour is so Rcarceandsohigh that they cannotaffordtohavemore of it . We believe this a great mistake , yet tliereis something in it . The prices of American labour are often quite as high as our slovenly system of half-farming will justify . -But if our large farmers would acquire the habit of hiring one or two

      experienced , Bkilful Americans at liberal wages , and with them six or eight immigrants , who have willing hands but everything to learn , and who could be had at comparatively low wages , because worth no more , the benefits would be general . The pro- , duce would be doubled ; the immigrants would gain the instruction and experience they so much need , ] and for want of which so many of them 'throw away the best years of their life in doing work badly , unskilfully , and out of season , on holdings of their own ; and the American workers would be worth more than now—their skill and experience serving a wider purpose , and they could be * paid more . Next year the immigrants would bd worth higher wages ; and the year after they would be qualified to go on lands of their own—and there will be free lands by that time .

      There ought to be m this city a public office to which a man wanting labourers might send from any part of the country , and be sure to have his want supplied fairly and promptly . < Hero is the grand depot and receptacle of surplus . labour , for which there is generally a demand elsewhere , but the means of Intercommunication between those
