1N + 31 I - l1 - A similar meeting was held with great enthusiasm on April 28 in Brezova, then in Myjava and in Vrbovec, where the pastor Mil Hurban gave the main word. The people rejoiced with joy and adorned themselves with red and white cochards. Štúr and Michal Hodža wrote a proclamation "Brother Slovaks", which was printed in Vienna and produced not a small amount of excitement under the nobility and the Kosuth-minded citizenship in Skalitz, Alt-Tura, Trenèín, Pressburg, Sillein and others. Meanwhile, the large national gathering took place from May 1st in Lipt. St. Nicholas, where the patriots from all over Slovakia met. Under the chairmanship of Michal Hodžas and the participation of L.-Štúrs, J.M. Hurbans, Marko M.Dazners, Ján Franciscis and many other leading Slovaks, the Assembly adopted a resolution, consisting of l2 points, in which the "demands of the Slovak people" were contained, On the basis of the likeness of all nations, may an all-round parliament of the brother peoples living under the Hungarian crown be created, in whom the nation would be represented as such; the creation of individual national country days; punishment of the popular betrayal by the deputies; the Slovak language may be negotiating and official language in the conit- ings in Slovakia; Slovak national schools, beginning from the elementary schools to the university, linguistic reciprocity at the magyan and len Slovak schools, i.e. In Slovakia's higher schools, the language of the Hungarian language should be taught in order to bring the people closer to the language; national colours and badges for each people (red and white for the Slovak), universal suffrage for every twenty-year-old unrepentant citizen, apostates cannot hold office. The Månifest expressly demands that "from this time on no traitor and renegat of the Slovak people, among the Slovaks can serve." People's treason considers the assembly as high treason throughout the country and states; freedom of the press, travel, meetings, the life of the association, furthermore, the regulation of the agricultural conditions and of less serious matters is demanded. /Dohnáni: Swedes of the Slovak Uprising./ - 12 -
