Appeal from the Poles to the United States.-
The Boston Courier publishes document
|sgned by the Polish National COMMITTEE, ad
dressed to President Jackson, to enquire
whether, if the Poles should be forced 10 leave
Europe, by the persecution Of their enemies,
they would he afforded an asylum in the Uni
ed States. After speaking in high terms ofthe
sympathy expressed for them by our country
men in Paris, and acknow Lodging the contribu-
tons madeln this.country fortheir relief, bisdes
retracing the history of their late heroic strug-
gle against Russia, and the sutferings they have
since endured, the Committee conclude in
these words:
So much sympathy shown to the Polish
cause, emboldens usto hope that the Govern
ment of the Unite, Ekates will not deny us its
assistance. Ifit ID happen through ia
tally without exaiErie in the recorders of he
world, that the Poles, perscuted in Europe.
should be under the hard and cruel necessity Of
directing their last course towards a transai-
lantic shore, they would demand friendship
from the United States, in whose country the,
know misfortune is ever sure to find a refuge.
Nevertheless as the number of our countrymen
might amount to between 3 & 1000 men, des
titute of arms and resources, and consequently
in imminent danger, they deemit expedient, 10
warn the Government Of their determination
to claim its aid.
Under those circumstances, il is important
for them to be informed, with all possible des
patch, to what extent they may rely on the
protection and support of the u. States; what
conditions would be required OF those who
should seek an asylum in the republic? what
would be the nature ofthcir relations with, and
duties towards the States of the Union? and
how far their nationality could be guaranteed
without interfering with the institutions and
interests ofthe country? They further request
to be informed, would the Government secure
a safe passage across the Ocean, by providing
them with safe conduct which would pre-
serve them in their navigation from danger
they would otherwise have to encounter?
Such are the questions which the Polish
National Committee take the liberty to address
to the Supreme Chief Of the United States.
They consider it most fortunate circumstance
that their sentiments should he conveyed to him
through the medium DR.. Howe, who, by his
zeal and exertions in our behalf, has acquired
additional right to the gratitude oflhe Poles.
