THE POLES

The meeting in behalf of the Poles was
held on Monday evening by adjournment;
owing doubtless to the unfavorable state of
the weather, 1t was not so numerously at
tended as was desirable, but a very respect
able number of our citizens assembled to
testify their interest and sympathy in the
tate OF a gallant people. A deep and in
tense feeling seemed to pervade the meet
ing, and the eloquent appeals made by the
gentlemen who addressed the assembly,
were received with Il silent and almost
GREATNESS attention. We venture to say
there was not person present whose heart
was unmoved by the touching spectacle so
teellngly exhibited, of whole people over.

inflicted by merciless invaders, with no arm
stretched out to save, or to alleviate their
sutterngs, but trusting to their own unas-
sisted efforts, and the justice of their cause
alone We do not believe that such pic
ture could be exhibited, without moving the
strongest heart, nor without inspiring an
earnest desire to afford relief. That it is
In the power OF our citizens, even at this
late date, to administer to the wants and
necessities of the suffering Poles, does not
admit of a doubt, and we cannot but indulge
the hope that something worthy of a free
and enlightened people will yet be done by
our population. 1t is call that has pecu-
liar claims upon us. The history of this
country presents almost a parallel case.
Who has not heard of the universal 10y and
confidence diffused throughout our land by
the reception of foreign aid in the early
part of the revolution, and what blessings
were implored upon the heads of the gener-
Gus nation that transmitted substantial ex-
pressions of their interest in the success of
our efforts to shake off the British yoke?
One of the speakers on Monday evening
justly remarked, as we think, that the Bos-
tonians had been more active than iudicious
in expressing their sympathy for the Poles :;
aud recommended that contributions in the
form of pecuniary aid which might enable
them to continue the Struggle should be
raised in their behalf; suggestion that
was adopted by the meeting, and will, we
hope, be literally responded to by the pub

SLAVE INSTRUCTIONS.

During the last week the public mind has
been much agitated by the reports which
have been In circulation, of further atroci-
ties committed by the blacks of the south
Among these reports was one that Will
mington in North Carolina had been taken,
pillaged, and destroyed by fire. We are
now enabled to state, that so far as relates
to the actual commission of further acts of
outrage, the reports prove to be untrue, but
1T also appears that a very extensive con-
spracy did exist, one of the first objects of
which was the concentration of large
force of blacks in the vicinity of Whining
ton, and the destruction of that town. The
timely discovery of the plot, the plans
OF the consplrators were defeated, the lead
ers arrested, and two of them have beer
tried and executed. The seat of the con-
spiracy was in Samson and Dupln Counties,
but extended to other parts of the State
Many of the jails are filled with implicated
blacks awaiting their trials.
Accounts of the detection of other plots.
and of the arrest of suspected slaves in va
Tlous counties OF Virginia, reach us by al
most every mail from the South. In some
counties the whites have requested an
armed force to be stationed among them as
ii precautionary hlSuSuTe, anu LDe EXeCu-
tive of the State has responded TO the re-
quest by the detachment of small bodies of
troops to the most disaffected Districts.
We are inclined to believe, that, for the
present, there will be no more rising among
the Slaves, but it will take a long time to
quiet the fears of the inhabitants, and there
is too much reason to apprehend that, here
aftor, similar plots among the blacks will no

phe more terrible than has yet been witness.
