TnE POLISH PEASANTS RErusE rae Cars
OFFER OF FREEDoM.-We noticed day or
two since that the Gar of Russia had issued
proclamation emancipating the serfs in
Poland, aud likened it to the famous procla-
nation Of Old Abe. The news by the
last steamer completely corroborates our
views upon this subject. The peasants in
Poland treat with scorn the emancipation
offered them by the Gear, and call together
force Of one million to resist the sodous and
fierce Muscovite, the greedy and astute Ger
man" The peasants, under able leaders, are,
in the name of God, Of country, of home. to
organize en- masse. the national government to
designate the day upon which the general
movement shall take place."
Having accomplished this object--the deliv.
erance of Poland-the peasants will select
chiefs to arrange the just repartition of taxes,
and national Diet will undertake the general
management Of the affairs of the country.
This movement certainly assumes most import
ant proportions. 1t is plain that the subjuga-
ton Of Poland is not by any means matter
easily accomplished. and that the Gar, by his
attempt to divide the peasants from the higher
classes has but cemented their union against
his rule. Should the peasants rise in such force
as contemplated it isl matter of doubt whether
Russia, unaided, could subdue them. 1t is
doubtless with view to this contingency that
the Car has sought the alliance of Prussia aud
Austria. Should these three Powers unite against
unhappy Poland, the firebrand Of universal
revolution throughout Western Europe will be
lighted, and the destruction of the allies be-
come almost matter OF certainty. The people,
once fully aroused. will prove that in this age
Of progress they, and not the effete monarcbies.
sovereigns must deal literally with the masses
or be overthrown by them.
