and grossly assaed in reference to the project OF
Polish Slovenian Society has published in the
Courier triumphant Standardization from all impu-
tations on his personal integrity and his standing in
bis native country We had intended to copy part
of the testimony, but that is rendered unnecessary
by the following Gard from leading opponent OF
the proposed Society, who places the opposition on
very different and more rational grounds. Maj.

To the Editor Of The Tribune;
SIR: a morning paper having published yesterday
letter signed c. Tochman in which may name has been
mentioned beg of you the favor OF inserting these few
lines in the columns of your valuable journal!
Mr.. Tochman originated the idea of forminglin this
CITY a Polish Slovenian Society Any thing connected
with the Polish name claims the attention and the vigil
lance of the whole Polish Emigration. MI Tochman is
very much mistaken he supposes that my opposition
to his project is dictated by any personal views Person
ally have nothing against him he says himself we had
scarcely any connection with each other and would not
have had the Measure OF knowing him at all had he not
favored with call on my arrival IN this City IN De-
cember last. ] cannot pledge myself for the reasons
which induced the great majority OF my countymen IN
NeyYork 10 oppose his views in this instance but rs
for me signed their protest only because OF the extreme
careuness with with which we ought to appeal to the
sympahy of all civilized nations and OF the Americans
in this particular case. This sympathy is now our only
consolation and pride, and think never ought to he
forced to appear in the shape OF money The long list
of the most usrious statesmen and citizens OF ms
country who signed the Act of the Society published
annexed to Mr. Tochmans letter, is proof OF the great
readiness Of the Americans to support the sacred cause
of our country. and hearts filled with gratitude
toward them But the very signatures winch Mr. locn
man is SO proud of having collected, ultimately will
obge each Of the persons who signed TO support the So
ciey by pecunary menns and although never mad the
remotest idea of supposing man like Mr.. Tochman ca
pabIe of raising subscriptions in any perSonal view
do not exactly the difference between collecting sig
natures whose ultimate result ia paying money and
collecting suhscriptions-a thing which Mr.. Tochman de-
MES most positively in saying there Is not particle o.
ruth that am or hot Ierer collecting subscripions
etc. I do not think that any OF Us have the NORA
right of taking the initiative OF such step IN foreign
country.
Al the beginning of emigration Lord Dudley Stuart
formed in London Polish Literary Association lie
did In his own country, and could collect signatures
and subscriptions between his friends and countrymen
without wounding our national delcacy The Society
welcomed by every Pole But had any oil our coun
trymep had the idea of doing the great mass OF the
Emigration would have protested exactly as we now
protest. ANY American asked by Mr.. Tochman in the
name of Poland to sign the Act of the Society s put in
the alternative of being Obliged TO support II 8erward
If he siens-or if he does not the attitude
of person Indifferent il not hostile 10 cause which Ia
sacred in the eyes of the whole civilized world What
man of heart would refuse But are VIC Polish kuugees
10 be satisfied in seeing those among whom reside
posed by one OF ourselves TO such delicate option As
TO Mr. Tochmans nsinuaon that those who signed the
protest oTe imposed upon by hidden enemy o. ne
cause of Poland do not think needs any answer be-
cause he who in political matters ssys-you do not ap-
prove me- therefore you enemy of your country
must be very short OF arguments.
