Welcome Kossuth to the Capitol in a grand reception
A congressional debate centers on welcoming Louis Kossuth, Hungarian exile and liberal leader, to the United States.

Opponents worry about interventionist implications and foreign entanglements, urging restraint while affirming liberty and human rights.

Hungarian Refugees in New York At Brown's Marble Hotel
Kossuth and suite occupy twenty one rooms at Brown's Marble Hotel with a daily cigar bill of about twelve dollars and a tab of around one hundred. The Hungarians in New York total about a hundred, many lacking funds and basic needs. The Journal of Commerce urges charitable aid over wartime donations, fearing Kossuth's plans may fail and isolation on uncultivated lands. The Ladies of the party are especially in need of proper clothing as spring settlement plans depend on charitable support.
