England pursued a different course at Copenhagen; and by so doing, struck one of the heaviest blows ever dealt at the power of Napoleon. I make no comment upon the dif- ferent degrees of morality exhibited by the ancient and the modern, the heathen and the cliristlgn. I merely state historical facts, and from them I draw the deduction, that a right without the means of making it respected is a mockery. It is admitted that Hungary has no such means. The question, then, arises, " vShall we furnis...h them . ' This is the point, the whole gist of the matter. Let me begin by supposing that it is in our power to do so — that we have the ability to punish Russian interfer- ence and repel Russian invasi(in — how are we to be benefited ? What portion of the fruits of victory is to inure to us? I do not address this question to dinner orators, brimfuU of philanthropy and champagne, nor to vainglorious militia colonels, who are exceedingly anxious to march to Hun- gary to-morrow, but who could not make it con- venient to march to Mexico when our country ivas engaged in war.
