Hungary is, in a word, in a state of WAR against the Hapsburg dynasty, a war of legitimate defence, by which alone it can ever regain independence and freedom.
I believe that the confidence of Hungary in me is not shaken by misfortune nor broken by my calumniators.
I have to thank the People, the Congress, and the Government of the United States for my liberation.
Men like me, who merely wish to establish political freedom, will in such circumstances lose all their influence, and others will get influence who may become dangerous to all established interests whatsoever.
The time draws near, when a radical change must take place for the whole world in the management of diplomacy.
You must be a power on earth, and must therefore accept all the consequences of this position.
