HOUSE.-The House proceeded 10 the special or.
der, be ny the following
Re;oired That this Assembly, as the representa-
tves of free and independent State, cannot but
feel deep interest IN the establishment and main
anance OF free and liberal principles of government
throughout the world. And while proper regard TO
the character of our own government and people, for
the preservation of quiet, both among ourselves and
all regularly constituted government would induce
us not TO encourage iorcile resistance and revolu.
ton, IN any but extreme cases. do consider that
each case OF that class must depend mainly upon its
own peculiar circumstances.
We therefore have, and do esteem the case of Po-
land one Of that peculiar interest 10 all the friends
OF liberty as Justify this declaration Of our senti-
ments IN regard 10 II.
In addition to the fact that this free republic is en-
Joying the blessings of civil and religious freedom as
in some the price Of the toll and sacrifice and
blood of some of the noble and chvalrous sons ofthat
u -inied land, among whom we are proud TO recoect
kosclusco and Pulaski can trace the history
of the wrongs and suterings and expressions ofihat
unhappy country in her struggle for liberty, and
no, feel that It Is one IN which every free government
has deep interest. The relations for q long time
sub listing between Poland and Russia are so TO
speak, but the personifcaon of arbitrary power and
heartless tyranny on the one hand, and sober, de.
;ernned intelligent, chivarOus and agonZing strug-
gle for libelty on the other.
We therefore, the behalf and in the name of the
inhabitants Of the State of Vermont do say to all the
world, that we hope and trust in Divine Providence
that Poland will continue her aspirations and her
struggles for liberty till the auocrat OF the Russians
sha! know and feel that the unalterabe decree of
the Ruler of the Universe that the principle oireeom
once developed in the hearts of people, can never be
extinguished by any course Of oppression, however
severe, or long continued.
Major Tochman of Poland was admitted to the
floor pursuant 10 resolution of the House, and sus-
tanned the resolution in an deeply interesting and eo-
qnent speech. Mr. Garfield moved to lay the resolu-
ton on the table, expressing doubts of the propriey
Of making this a subject of legislation: opposed by
Messrs Harrington, Petbene and DAVIS of ~, and
Withdrawn, and the resolution was unanimously
adopted
Mr. Harrington moved resolution of thanks TO
Major Tochman, which was also unanimously adop-
ted
After the adjournment, meeting of members and
citizens, from various parts of the state organized

chair, and +. +. Merrill Esq, Clerk of the House,
