Welcome of Kossuth Dominates Senate Debate on Neutrality Policy
In the 13th Congress the Senate resolves to appoint a committee to wait upon Kossuth and introduce him to the Senate. Mr. Walker of Wisconsin backs the measure, arguing it signals a shift away from neutrality and supports moral and potential material aid to Kossuth. He urges Europe to keep hands off liberty struggles, asserting U S power. The resolution passes 20 to 1. In the House, the Senate’s welcome resolution passes 191 to 16. An attempt to state conduct on Kossuth’s arrest fails and a preamble to criticize Mexican War stalls amid rule suspensions.
