When Kossuth visited America in 1851, he worked out here, with
American statesmen, a constitution for Hungary, and had plates
engraved for the printing of treasury notes, and a system of
money. When Kossuth went down to the steamer to sail home,
he had an ideal and new republic of Hungary, and oh, wonder
of wonders! he carried it in a handbag! Just as I have seen
theological professors carry what they thought was a whole
church, in a book of notes under the arm. Unfortunately, Kossuth
never produced the written constitution in the character of
twenty millions. And unfortunately, many teachers, wise in their
polity, and sound in their theology, think like God and act like
the devil.--N. D. HILLIS.
