THE POLISH QUESTION.

The interminablc and ever shifting Polish
question presents just now peaceable aspect.
Russia shows herself extremely anxious to
avoid war and to come to somo kind Of un.
dcrstanding with the throc Great Powers,
which have constituted themselves the ex-
pouents Of tho public opinion Of Europe aud
the executors Of the Treaty Of Vienna. In her
presented at Paris on July IL, she has even
exceeded public expectation, by accepting five Of
the we'll known six points in which France. En-.
gland aud Austria had condensed their principal
demands. and by approving the project OF q
European Conference, which is TO aid her in
finding for the intricate question a satisfactory
aud lasting solution.
One point only, however, on which both France
and England laid very great slress, has not
yet been concedcd-the proclamation Of an
armistice. Still, the impression generally
produced by the Russian reply was that,
notw outstanding the Disagreement upon this
point, q Conference Of European Powers would
soon meet, aud the work Of compromise and
pacfcaton be seriously entered upon.
In declaring her readiness to listen to terms OF
pacfcaton. Russia has made to public opinion
wise and honorable concession. There was
no doubt that on tho subject Of tho Polish
grievances Europe was nearly unit. Even
tho warInest admirers of tho truly liberal and
progressive policy which Emperor Alexander
L in, ntl pt
but admit. with regard to the Polish question,
that there really was n large amount OF wrong
to be rcdressed. 1t was this unanmity OF
public opinion which, in case Of further COM
plications, might have greatly endangered the
safety of Russia, who has nothing more serious
to fear from the diplomatic counsels OF Euro
pean Conference. The majority of the Euro
pean Powers will be satisfied, if Russia binds
herself anew to execute tho demands of The
six points, which contain little but what Alex.
ander 1. was willing to concede, and what
Alexander III. has Likewise declared himself
ready to grant, in case the Poles would lay
down their arms.
II has been announced that the Nationa
Government Of Poland would not bc equally
willing to submit its fate to tho arbitration o.
. conference of European monarchs, and thai
it would in no case bc satisfied with anything
short Of a recognition of the entire indepcn
dcnco of Poland. But however just and indis
putable the rights Of Poland may be- as re-
gardod from tho standpoint of the law of na.
turo, tho ability of the National party, under
present circumstances, to prevail against Russia
and to conquer the independence Of the coun.
try, 10 very questionable. A longer continu.
ance Of the struggle would probable lead to
such an exhaustion of the Polish people as ia
prevent for q long time to como tho develop.
mont Of tho material resources Of tho country.

KENTUCKY.

The State Election in Kentucky occurs on
Monday next, August Sd, and the result is
awaited with grave anxiety. Both parties
claim 10 be Union, but that which calls itself the
Democratic stands very nearly on the platform
of Fernando Wood and Thomas II. Seymour. 1t
is perhaps the faircst Characterization TO say
that each party claims to be Union and Pro-
Slavery, but one regards the Union, the other
Slavery, m of paramount consequence. Mr.
Wicklille, who heads the Democratic ticket,
would prefer the Union with Slavery fully
guaranteed, fortified, and accorded unlimited
scope for expansion, to Secession; but If Dis
union should triumph, he will choose that
Kentucky shall so with the South. Col. Bram-
lette. on the other hand, is for the Union
without qualification or condition, and will not
receive one Secession vote. The result as be-
tween them is very doubtful; but We think
the resi- Of the Union ticket will DO better
than Col. B.
The rival candidates for Congress are as
follows

REBEL MERCY.

East Tennessee-a region about equal IL
area and population to New-Hampshire or
Vermont-having few slaves and no aristocracy.
presented determined, unyielding resistance
to the madness of Secession. Even after the
battle of Bull Run, it gave 1923 for the
Union to 14,768 for SecessiOn-15, 155 majority
for the Union. Yet it was this unconqusraby
loyal region that has been dragooned into sub.
lection to Treason by such measures ~ the
