THE SUN.
LONDON, MONDAY, APRIL 22, 1881.

If ever Poland has had a chance, it is now. Never
since what may be termed the threefold perpetra-
tion of her triple partition has the tocsin rung more
distinctly for the sons of her soil, summoning them
to arise and reassert their independence. It is an
extraordinary circumstance that the opportunity
should have occurred in consequence of an enor-
mous crime committed in the name of the CZAR,
immediately after that Prince had accomplished a
work of pure beneficence, so wonderful as the eman-
cipation, by a single stroke from his pen, of twenty
millions of the human race. Wonderful, absolutely
marvellous, though the incongruity of those two
occurrences such has actually been the
case. Scarcely has ALEXANDER IL emblazoned
his name in luminous characters upon the latest (yet
unfilled) page of the world's history, when he almost
blots out the luminous record with the blood of the
massacres wantonly perpetrated by his representa-
tive in the Imperial Russian (formerly the Royal
Polish) city of Warsaw. As GARIBALDI has power-
fully put it in his remarkable communication to
the great Muscovite exile HERZEN—" It is not long
since the announcement of the emancipation of
the serfs in Russia was received in Europe with
admiration and gratitude. The Prince, initiator of
the great work, took his place by this act alone
beside the most illustrious benefactors of
humanity. And now—l say it with sorrow—the
work of beneficence has been stained by the blood
of an innocent population ; and it is the duty of
those who applauded the benefaction to raise their
voices against the consummation of this most de-
testable of crimes." Having said which, GARIBALDI,
addressing himself still to HERZEN, has written,
"Let your journal, justly appreciated throughout
the great Empire, convey aword of sympathy from
the Italian nation to unfortunate and heroic Poland
—a word of gratitude to the brave soldiers of the
Russian army, who, like PAPOFF, have broken their
swords rather than dye them in the blood of the people
—and a cry of reprobation from the sister nations
of Europe against the authors of this frightful mas-
sacre." Now, these words of GARIBALDI constitute
far more than simply a protest. They are to the
Polish nation we insist more than a cry of sym-
pathy, they are—a reminder ! GARIBALDI speaks,
recollect, in the name of Italy—in the name, that is
of a nation just Trung anew into existence, a
nation of from 22,000,000 to 24,000,000 ! And so
speaking in the name of some twenty-three:million
Italians, GARIBALDI recalls to the recollection of I
tho Poles in that mere fact of his so speaking, an
event replete to the Polish nation--(buried
alive though it still is under the deadening
despotism of the Triple alliance, the alliance
of Russia, Austria, and Prussia)—an incident
replete for the Polish nation, we say, with the
most sublime encouragement. If Italy has—
against such odds—yet contrived to conquer her
independence : Why not Poland ? Particularly,
Why not Poland, when Poland is midway between

Italy already emancipated and Hungary ripe for
emancipation. Italy has certainly had GARIBALDI

gary, more to lead her on to her triumph. Hun

over, can direct her hopes confidingly to KOSSUTH

as her statesman, and to KLAPKA as her soldier,

But if Poland is without a KOSSUTH, is without

a GARIBALDI—has she not still her ZAMOYSKI

And at Paris has she not yet, as she has possessed

them for so protracted an interval, has not Poland

still to this moment at Paris, in that metropolis of
continental Europe, a venerable and powerful
advocate in the person of her beloved and revered

Prince ADAM CZARTORISKI ? Besides—prove to

the BONAPARTE now in power in that great capital,
as the ruler of 40,000,000 Frenchmen, as the
Captain of 600,000 French soldiers--prove to

him that his own selfish interests may
be subserved by his championship of the
11°1es, and his puissant sword will as surely be at
their service now, as a couple of years ago it was at
the service of the Italians in the northern provinces
of the Roman Peninsula. Poland has but to play
the cards, now in her hands, cleverly and the game
is her own. The voice that calls her is as literally
as the voice that spoke through CEIATEAUBRIA ND'S
posthumous autobiograpy—LY °tare Tombe ! It is
her own voice—speaking from the grave in which
she has been lying buried alive now during three
or four
successive generations. Upon her national
escutcheon ever since the date of her third and final
partition there has beenlegiblo—ot to speak it
profanely—clearly and distinctly legible., even so
