alliance is at least in progress Of negotiation
contingent upon the Polish complication re-
.,l,ine in a war Neither do we wonder ut It,
The Yankee people never had any real COM
nrehcnsion of liberty nor sympathy with the
struggles of liberty. Besides, they have them
selves "rchcllun" TO subduc. They are all
Cars, every man of them, and pretend to feel
as grievously outraged in their sovereign ma
icsty, by what they presume to call our revolt
as any paternal sovereign Of the old world,
bv the unnatural rebellion Of his children. So
far, then they flatter themselves that they have
sort of kindred cause with his Imperial Majes-
ty. But besides this, their present business OF
crushing their own rebellion requires, as they
think, that they should do their best to stir
up war in Europe, and so keep England and
France with their hands full at home, and de.
Inv for another year or two the recognition
of the Confederacy. Thus they find them
selves in the singular position of aiding a
tyrant to crush liberty in Europe for the
sake of restoring that Union" which they
still have the impotence to say is the only
hope of liberty in the world.
For if such q war were to break out and
the United States should join Russia, 1t is
AGAINST the Poles they would be fighting, as
much as against France and England. IT
matters not that they would have no army IL
Poland, but only ships upon the sea, and al
expedition into Canada, and another into
Mexico every blow they would strike woulc
be blow to down-trOdden Poland, and the
success of the two allied Cars, Abraham anc
| Alexander. would be to send thousands o
noble Poles in chains to Siberia, to suhlec
the highest ladies' Of that land to the bastlnad'
in Russian dungeons, and to cut OF Tor an
other generation the hope of Polish nation
ality. Such is the sort of undertaking int
which the insane lust of dominion is now i'm
.pellinc those whom we once called GU
cellow-citizens and they are quite read
for it: they hold all things to be jus
tilted if they can thereby preserve tn
Union. In their present state Of mind the
are prepared to join the Car in another edo
" Alliance" and thereafter. we presume
they would cxpunge from their school book
