men dying under the iron heel Of the oppressor that
was ruthessly and brutaIy stamping them to death.
The King Of Prussia, under the influence Of a whole
some fear OF his up risen people decreed re5rgsnza

honorable man, appointed Royal Comm ssioner
and all bid fair be peaceably arranged But By de-

their traditional ntdgues.
What think you Of 4 King who, under his own hand
DEGREES the reorganization OF province and sends
thither an honest man A. Commissioner then sends
another Cour, tool with different Instructions and,
after the inhabitants had compiled 70 the letter with
the convention mutually agreed upon. and had dis

what think you Of the King and Ministry that set on
these some $1,000 troops who without previous warn

Nor was this all for when prisoners and incapable Of far
her resistance the Poles were actually branded the
hand and on the ear because those had listened
10 the call OF Freedom, that came from the King him
self and those hands had struck not for freedom only
but 70 defend their very lives Could the revolt

Yet all this is proved in the cleares, manner By these
little pamphlets.

was much easier also for him to note down the
floating on the surface the circle which he moved
than to look about and see for himself
By.the-by this same ". de Crcourt came very near
being inflicted on the United states, and Though all d.
plomstists are to somewhat ike dew-drops on

Here is condensed refuta,ion of his charges by
one
ADra lin Upper silesia the peasants of the Polish
race are devastating and destroying the hsbation'
These excuses are simply the result OF a strike
among the operatives and has nothing whatever to do
with the Polish question
" 4pril 3-The Poles in the Duchy Of posen are in
duging in the most brutal OF violence against the
Germans
During the whole time that the triumph OF the Polish
hopes lasted not a single abuse not serious and
prcmeditaed injury. exercised upon the Germans
and Jews that the Liberaiss of Berlin had recommend
ed to the rsterns good will OF the Poles Truly was
a somewhat difficult undertaking, that Of reconciiing
greedy foreigners mercess officers brutal
garrisons and Unsuitable usurers with their gosning
victims Is it not astonishing that people whose ha
tired ike their attachment, is undyng should even
have listened at all though il be with misrust to such
offers Of reconciliation Nevertheless, by the noble ei
forts of those hearts who lie manaeed in the pms
ons of the Prussans, this lame peace would have eX
ised till the present moment had 1t not been for the
bad faith of the authorities of Posen. 1t will suffice to
recoect that by the Sd ofApr more than dozen bloody
asssssinations had been committed by the Prussian
troops when the bratalfies Of he Poes' had reduced
themselves to half dozen psnes OF glass broken in the

We answer Not a single Polish lsndhoder has been
either murdered OF driven from the country not~th

in aid of it, army and the only gentlemen and landed
proprietors who have been slain killed in flight

Aprl 1.-The German population now IN arms no
longer confines itself 10 the defensive but Is upon the
point Of attacking the Polish reorganization Ihe rhok

Now add to this that 10000 soldiers entered Poland
and Joined this coalition, and who inquire, since
the peasants bedy part Of the coalition, were
those who fought hercely against during the i've

it was the ghosts of the murdered nobility
