Does This Stir Your Blood ?
. General Salazar, iu addressing a body of American
citizens at Caloria Dublan, spoke in substantially this
language: '
"We have robbed you of your propertj.
"We have killed your men.
..' "We have outraged your women,
"And you stand for it. ;
"What in God's name will make an American fight?
Do you wonder at this Insulting language? It la tbe logical result of
our pusillanimous record In Mexico. Among many hundreds of American
cltliens killed In Mexico during recent disturbances tbe following list of

Has the Spirit of 76 Perished? Does the Spirit of 76 Survive?
Contrast of Americanisn Under,
Two Democratic Administrations
RANK HAMMOND IN FREMONT TRIBUNi.
Recently when reading Ellis' Standard History of the United
States, I came across an incident that so strongly illustrates the
decline in American spirit, under two democratic administrations,
that I . cannot refrainVfrom referring to, it for public information,
, . The incident occurred during the presidency of Franklin Pierce
in the year 1853. During 1852 Louis Kossuth, , noted Hungarian
patriot, and others, came to America to solicit aid for the, struggle
their country was making for liberty against Austria and Russia.
In the party was one Martin Kosrta. He was so pleased with this
country he decided not to return to Austria but remained and went
. into business in New York City. At the proper time he declared
' his intention to becoms a eitisen of the United States.
v:';:; ; Hatins' of a Plot, i v;.;::;
The next year (1858) he had business in Smyrna, and while
- sojourning in that city a plot was hatched by the Austrian, for hi
. capture because he had offended the Austrian government in not
: returning to his native country with Kossuth. He was taken aboard
- an Austrian gunboat, the Hustar, and put in irons. During the
excitement over this event an Amerioan sloop of war, the St. Louis,
under Captain Ingraham, came into the harbor. ' The captain was
hastily informed of the situation. He thought (probably foolishly,
in the light of recent events) that a man who was in pursuit of his
lawful business, and who was a citizen of the United States, or had
declared his intention to become one, was entitled to the protection
of the American flag in any part of the world. Captain Ingraham
went at once to the Huzzar, and after considerable parleying ob
tained permission to interview Koszta. He then demanded Koszta's
release, which was refused. Ingraham despatched note tov the
nearest United States official who was at Constantinople, and ex
: acted a promise from the Austrian commander of the Huzzar to
4 await a reply. , . ,;;.V i' ' '
" While waiting for word from Constantinople six more Austrian
gunboats came into the harbor. The thrilling events that followed
are interestingly told by Historian Ellis. He says "On June 29th,
- before any answer had come from Consul Brown, the St. Louis
noticed unusual signs of activity on board the Huzzar, and pretty
soon she began to get under May.
' Decks Cleared for Action.
Captain Iugraham immediately put the St. Louis in such a posi
tion that the Huzzar could not pass, and cleared his decks for
action. The Huzzar hove , to and then Captain Ingraham went
aboard and said to the Austrian eomirfander, who received him
with great courtesy, "What is the meaning of this move on your
partf" "We propose to sail for home," replied the Austrian. "The
consul has ordered us to take our prisoner to Austria. "
"Yon will pardon me," said Captain Ingraham very calmly.
"But I hope you will not leave this harbor with the American gen
tleman you have kidnaped. If you do I shall be compelled to re
sort to extreme measures."
. "The Austrian looked around the harbor at the line of friendly
warships, and then looked at the St. Louis with her decks cleared,
and smiled pleasantly at Captain Ingraham and said that he thought
such remarks were extremely rash, and the Huzzar would do as it
pleased., Ingraham bowed and betook himself to the St. Louis. He
had no sooner got aboard than he ordered 'Clear the guns for ac
tion.' The Huzzar returned to its anchorage, On the after
noon of July 1st Captain Ingraham received his reply. The consul
at Constantinople commended his course, and told him to dp what
ever he thought best to prevent an outrage to an American citizen.
Late that evening Captain Ingraham sent an onioer aboard tne
Huzzar with a note. The note formally demanded the release of
Mr. Koazta and said that unless' the prisoner was delivered aboard
the St. Louis by 4 o'clock the next afternoon, Captain Ingraham
would take him front the Austrians by force. This was refused.
At 8 o'clock, the next morning Ingraham once more cleared his
decks for action and trained his batteries so the Huzzar would get
their full force at the first discharge. . The seven Austrian gunboats
cleared their decks and put their men at the guns.
Brave Ingraham Standi Firmly.
"AU, this while great excitement prevailed in Smyrna; and
when the citizens saw these last hostile demonstrations they
crowded the shores, eager to see the one-sided battle which all
knew would not end so long as the American flag floated above
water, i At 10 o'clock the Austrian sent an officer to Ingraham,
who tried to temporize, but Ingraham refused to listen to him. He
said 'To avoid the worst, I will agree to let the man be delivered
to the French Consul in Smyrna to give your government a chance
to act. But he must be delivered then, or I will take him. I can
not fail. My cause is just. I have stated the time.'
"Again the Austrian sent a man to Captain Ingraham. This
time the latter refused to receive him. Then the" Austrian consul-
general eame out from Smyrna, and tried his diplomacy. Captain
Ingraham simply repeated that the French consul must have Koazta
by 4 o'clock or there would be trouble. At 12 o'clock a boat left
the side of the Huzzar with Koszta in it, and one hour afterward
the French consul, sent word that Koszta was in his keeping.
Later in the day several of tbe Austrian war vessels sailed out of
the harbor." .
- In due time matters were fixed up when Austria admitted the
United States was right, apologized, and released all claims to Mr.
Koszta. '
A Gold Meoal for Heroism.
And wh'at of the doughty Captain Ingraham f He received
vote of thanks and a gold medal from Congress, 'and was every
where applauded by the citizens of this country. .".;
Does that story r,ead like the history the present administration
is writintrl I sruessvnot If this case had come up to Mr. Wilson
he would have promptly cabled Captain Ingraham to let the Aus
trians have Mr, Koszta; that he was probably in Smyrna for the
purpose of buying rugs to make money by selling them in New.
York City, and the government of the United States could not rec
ognize the rights of any citizen .engaged W such an ignoble under-
taking. , He would further have said to uaptain ingranam, "ui
course you are wrong. Cant you see those seven Austrian gun- -boats
in the habor! . Sail out to sea at once of you may have war.
What's the life of an American when compared to a scrap," (that
didn't happen). " . '"a "'. ''. ' '' "
What a difference in American spirit under Jiese two demo,
cratic presidents, , Franklin Pierce -and Woodrow A'ilson I Sixty
years ago it meant something to be an American citizen either at
homp or abroad. The protecting folds of the American flag was an
emblem of safety on every sea and in any country, bixty years ago
was nearer the time when the fathers laid the foundations of the
government amidst the smoke of battle, and the fibre Of real
Americanism ran through bone and sinew of the citizenship. t
Strength of Courage and Justice.
I am no more anxious for war than any other peaceable citizen,'
and do not btlieve war is necessary when a firm attitude is main
tained in a righteous cause. The incident detailed above emphasizes
the fact that one warship with a brave commander and a just de
mand can successfully defy seven battleships without drawing an
ounce of blood.
Can any one read this incident out of our national history and
not feel a thrill of "pride and glory in the protection afforded
American citizens at that timet 1 ,
When contemplating the events of the past few years under
the Wilson administration the true-blue-American must hang his
head for shame when he fully realizes the low estate to which the
protecting power of the United States has fallen. American citi
zens in peaceful and lawful pursuits murdered, maimed and out
raged in Mexico, and drowned at sea, like rats in a trap, and for
such offenses paper pellets are fired at the enemy from the White
House in Washington. - Each recurring outrage only draws another
broadside of paper and ink I Isn't this a real government with a
vengeance f And then wanting to be continued in power on such a
record 1 Did- the world ever witness such a sublime spectacle of
brazen impudence f No, my dear voter, we cannot stand for such
a travesty on government, and on coming election day we should
vote the republican party into power that will carry us back to
some of the early practices of even the democratic, party that has
drifted so far away from the ideals of the fathers.
