A PROMISE OF DAWN FOR POLAND

Of the domestic progress Of Austria, says

The United States have their Ireland

UniOn, by giving the political power of
the South to the negroes, and empower
ing them to disfFanehise and to op-
press by the extortion of vindietive tax
alton the white people Of this unhappy
land. Even those Republicans who have
not deemed these measures Of reeonstruc-
ton wise, insist that no step ought now
to be taken backward. They say, in the

AS Ireland has long been the shame
and weakness of England, SO POLAND
seems about to become the weakness,
and, it may be, the cause of the dismem-
Derment and ruin of Russia. Such is
the law Of Divine retributiOn.
Poland was psrtitioned In l572, by
Treaty between the Empress Of Russia,
the Emperor Of Austria, and the King
Of Prussia. The Russians, on various
pretexts, entered Poland in 1872, anu
the Kingdom of Stanislsus was finally
Dartitioned in 1895. In 1880 the people
revolted, and revolution was attempted
at Warsaw, which was suppressed in
1881, and in 1882 a uksse of the Car
Nicholas declared Poland an integral
part Of the Russian Empire. Another
vain attempt st revolution was made in
ls48. In 1882 new disturbances occurred,
and In 1868 sn insurrection. Poland was
put in state Of seige, Polish provis-
ional Government was established, and
declared Dictator. The In
surreclion became general and guerrilla
warfare successful 3 Secret Cent al
assumed supreme command;
the Cars offer Of amnesty to all who
would lay down their arms WIS rejected
the European powers endeavoured in
vain to interfere; many eminent Poles
were executed, and spong these many
priests and mobiles and sitter 50, 900 Poles
had been slain, and 1OO, 600 exiled to ST.
Derls, the insurrection was suppressed in
1884, and Poland denati0nslized.
Such Is in brief the history of the
and fate Of Poland, and of its
struggles to free itself from the
yoke; and every enslsved |
people will with the same desperation at |
endeayour to regain its lost lib
critics and Independence.
The North intends that the white men |
If the South shall in all time hereafter
be their hewers of wood and drawers Of
water, their interiors, to be insulted by |
hem st pleasure, when oppression shall
nave deprived them OF the spirit to resent |
IN insult, even il offered by coward.
Never again, it is intended, the Southern
States shall be the equals of those Of the
North or the Southern people the SUI
periors Of negroes.
Where the negroes had not the major
ty Of votes, constitutions have been
framed by conventions whose members
ware elected in auah a manner "a mot In /
the least to represent the white pOpula-
ton Of the States; and the voices of ma
jorities against those constitutions have,
when the vote has been taken upon their |
or rejection, been suppressed |
and stifled by the most open, shameless |
