SubjugatiOn.

w ashlngton, 50 Tar as they nave any se'
tied policy. They viii suhjugate or an
initiate the people of this faircountry, free
the negroes, parcel out the lands to the
generals and their f;lvorites, and those
generals and favorites will take care of
the negroes. and give them work, care and
wages. 1t IS a bold stroke Of policy, and
is in accordance with that of the most |
tvrannical empires and monarchies, that
history presents to our view. This Adj |
ministration seems to be blind TO the teach !
ing that history affords. Have they never
read the past, nor looked at the histories +,
of the present Dynasties of Europe in
tielr exterminating policy. After nearly
F! fifty year of the subjugating policy OF
| Russia towards Poland, the Russian Bear
will be compelled 10 give the latter free
constitution, or let her depart in peace.
| Confiscations ana determination are the
means adopted by that powerful govern
ment, vet the throne before which three
| hundred languages are spoken is powerless
before that desperate people The Rus
! slams by their conduct, have detracted from
their strength, their grandeur and stability
as a govern nent, and drawn down upon
them the odium of all the civilized nations
of the world. A secret government is now
at Warsaw, and Its power and its ven
gence are terrible and sorely felt by the
Russians. Their spies and provost mar
shals are unable to detect the direful
enemy The government is there, invisi-
BILE, intangible, without a soldier and
without cannon, yet they reach execu-
tions and confscations of property, by as
sassination and by fire. And that is the
policy inaugurated by the Lincoln Admin
istration. It is wrong in principle and
wrong in practice. The history Of man
for six thousand years shows, that large
extent Of country Or great masses Of peo-
pie cannot be governed by one single man
or by one centralized government, contrary
TO the genius and the wishes Of the people.
England has pursued that policy towards
Ireland. ever since the old English Puri-
tans ovcrran that country up to her final
, destruction by the removal Of her Parli-
ment, for what they called the union oi
that day, a union bcgotten Of fraud and
- force, which brought ruin and degradation
TO Ireland, and weakness and disgrace tc
England. The latter passed laws for Ire,
land, that for cruelty and yilIainy stand un
paralleled, some OF them the bare mention
of which would put even decency to the
blush This history is too we'll known
for us to amplify. The hatred existing 4
+ this day, between the English and IrisE
t people is as unabated as it was centurie
a ago, and is only equalled by the hatred en-
. gendered between the North and South a
n the present day, in our own country. Il
those days they had their Plunkett, thei
