POLAND.
BY MAJOR ToCHMAN.

Money is very scarce in all parts Of
Poland, the laboring class is in a wretch.
cd condition, and uHeasiness is to be
seen even in the magnificent palaces
built by their fathers. Many a Pole,
who possesses thousands of acres Of
land, and who has thousands OF bushels
Of wheat in his graneries, finds himself
often under difficulty to pay his taxes
and arbitrary contributions. Conse.
quently every thing that the Iaborer and
The soil produce is very cheap-whiIsl
the foreign articles are rare and very
dear; the importers Of the last being o.
bliged to pay heavy duties, TO maintain
THEN new commercial policy.

fore the diSmember ment of Poland, cop.

bred acres OF well cultivated land, sell
dom makes use Of any article which
does not grow on his soil. as 10 the
laborlng class they never see any. The
pr reduce Of the soil leeds AND clothes

A common laborer gets from ak to
l2A cents o day; a mechanic seldom
more than % cents; a female servant

cents per mont h a male servant from
80 cent TO one dollar, per month. 10
the cities. the wages Of a servant are a.
bout one fourth higher. The clothing
OIL the laboriOg class Of both sSxes, is
comfortable but very poor, made Of lin
en- add woolIen cloth, and furs Of the
country. The whole dress Of 9 country

to 81 cents; and a pair OF boots lsf a la.
boring man from 374 TO rs cents. As
to the clothing Of a lady this costs near.
y as much as in the United States; the
cotton and silk stufs, The ribands and
The other articles TO make ladies dresses,
being the same almost throughout Po-
land as here. 1t is the same with re.
gard TO the dress Of a genlIeman-onIy
that the ladies' shoes and the gentIe-
mems boots are cheaper in Poland; such
shoes as we pay here 81 % for, are
selling in Poland for IS ard 37A cents,
for such bools as cos here z or IS they
pay from 2 to So. But to get boots for
So they must sell from IL 10 Is bushels
Of wheat; and the dress Of a LADY, worth
only 20 dollars, will costthem from 80
10 1000 bushels Of wheat. A farmer
who has 1000 bushels OF heat for sale,
can buy a silver watch for himself but
not for his wife; while he, before the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT Of Poland, sold 1000
bushels Of wheat, neither he no. his la
dy and a half dozen Of doughlers would
look at gold watches not set with dla-
moods, or al least with rubies.
The cattle, nocks, and herds, are also
very cheap. A mich COW sells from 2,
SO 10 s dollars; an OK for slaughter
from 10 10 80 dollars. A horse, such
as we pay here 70 dollars for, is worth
in some parts OF Poland about % dol
Iars; IN the part OF the country incor
porated with Russia, such a horse is
worth only from Z 10 IL dollars. A
common sheep sells from eighteen to
one dollar. Those called merino sheep,
introduced from Spain, are sold from
80 10 LOO dollar.

SPEECH OF HENRY CLAY,
at tie Indianapolis Bdr5acue
on tRe 5h inst.


on The 5h inst,
Mr.. Clay commenced by saying that
the visit which he made 10 the capitol Of
the State Of Indiana, was in ful6lment
Of a promise given several years ago
Though he tried to negotiate himself
out OF that promise for several reasons,
il was mol because he was not anxious 10
see the people Of Indiana, but because
his motives might be m]lsconStrued or
misunderstood. DESTROYS as was TO
see you ell, | positively declined TO full.
fl my promise, pending an election -
Although he knew no political motives
actuated him; yet such motives might
be inferred by others. 1t is true he
came through a portion OF Ohio, where
an important contest was pending, but
the cause of the Dayton assembIage was
to commemorate, by a public barbecue
the result Of the election in 1910, and
that barbecue was The offspring of wa
ger between Kentucky aud Ohio, as 10
which State should give The largest ma
iority for The Iamenled Harrison
Having been invited to attend that
public meeting Of his fellow citizens, he
accepted it and travelled by the route
to'this place. He not cou'd transport him
sell in the air, and took Dayton in his
route, to the capitol Of Indiana, and if he
WIS met by crowds it was the spon'a
neous offering Of the people. 1t was
impossible for him TO anticipate the cor
dial and spontaneous manifestations oil
confidence towards his associates, (Mes'
srs. Criltenden and Me'calI) and him
self during the whole journey, 1t re
sembled more the progress of a Roman
%conqueror, alter the successful conquest
Of rival nations, than the reception OF
an humble citizen Of en- humble Stale -
without power and without patronage.
He could not help contrasting the scenes
of the last few days with his condition
fifteen years ago. Then, said Mr. Clay
raising his voice, 1t appeared as If all
mankind conspired against me. My
motives were truduced, my character as
persed and vilIifed; but | was slrong
here, HERE, (slrIkIng his breast) in hon

der deep and loud, beloved, shaking

rased-b but in the breast Of Cain there
was an undyiDg sting, as deep as The
deed that he had committed was dark,
On the pale flowers his levered head
lay, o~leepless, but dreaming Of death!
Into the very ore Ct his heart he Ceit
the worm Of conscience feeding! The
form OF his brother, pale and haggard,
was visible in The darkness. He shut
his eyes, and placed his hands over
them TO keep out the likeness Of his
brother, but the spectre would not be
kept away! He had committed a crime
more awful in magnitude than any
other. 'Wo is me! from the very an.
guish Of a broken spirit-he cried. He
called on death to release him from
mortality, but the spectre came not al
his bidding. From The high throne of
the great Intelligence Of Nature, there
beamed upon him a frown more wither-

more scOwling than the dark tempest
that was at strife with the elements Of
Nature. 'Wo is me! he still cried
and from that hour he fed the scenes Of
his childhood with a press Of grief at

MR.. SPENCER'S LETTER.

This is an able exposition and defence of the lead
ing measures Of Mr.. Tyler's administration. Ii is
the most comprehensive and satisfactory review that
has been made by such have authority to speak
Ii furnishes evidence confirmation Of the statements
of Messrs. Webster and Gushing in relation to the
consistency sincerity, and manness of the President
on those points Of his official conduct, wherein he
has been most violently assaled. 1t WILL with the
statements of Messrs. Webster and Gushing, form
authentic materials for the Historian when he seeks
the sources Of impartial information relative to The
Executive action on the Bank bills; while it reveals
a circumstance in cabinet history, known, until very
recently only to few, and which places the conduct
Of MIR. Tyler in truly disinteresled and patriotic
light, where il is difficult for statesmen possessing
power to act in disinterest and patriotic manner.
We allude to the fact g that previous 10 returning the
second Bank bill TO Congress with his objections, in
full view of the assaults TO be made upon him, and
as well as to secure himself against unjust impua-
tons the President submitted TO his then Cabinet,
whether he should, in the Message then about 10 be
transmitted to Congress, announce resolution to re-
tire from public life at the expiration of the existing
term; and that against his doing so, all the members
Of the Cabinet then present protested on the ground
that srch annuncaton would not have the effect 10
produce peace or quiet, but would on y change the
direction Of faction; that no one had right to eX-
pect such step from him, he had not been elect
ed President, and Obligation existed that should
inerposc any barrier between him and a direct vote
OF the people"
This is The testimony Of Mr.. Spencer and
know Of no circumstance in tho history Of power
that speaks more strongly iii favor of political purity
