Death to Be Ono Of Its objects.
The Berlin correspondent of the London
Daily News has received from st. Peters
burgh copy Of q proclamation issued by
the revolutionary committee on the day that
the car returned to st. Petersburg. It reads
FROM TIE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
ST.. PETERSBURG, Nov. %, 1s79.-On the
18th of this month, on the Moscow g. Kursk
railway, by order of the executive commit
tee, an attempt was made on the life of Alex
ander II. by means Of an explosion. The
attempt failed. We do not find it conven-
lent to publish at the present time the cause
of the failure. We are convinced that our
agents and our party will not be dishe arten-
ed at the failure Of the attempt, but will
gain for it new experience, lesson Of pre-
caution, and at the same time fresh
consciousness of their own power and of
the possibility of successful issue. Ad-
dressing ourselves to all honest Russian
citizens, who value liberty, to whom the
national will and the national interests are
sacred, We once again point to Alexander
Ii. as tho personitication of despicable de-
spotisn, of all that is cowardly and sangui-
nary. The reign of Alexander H., from the
beginning to the end, is q lie, in which tho
famous emancipation of the serf ends with
Makoff's circular. From the commencement
to, the end it has been devoted to the con-
solidation of the classes hostile to the peo-
pie and the destruction of everything by
which the people lived and wish to live. The
will of the people was never so contemptu-
ously disregarded and trampled on. The
present reign has supported by every means
all those who rob and Cypress tho people,
and at the same time systematically extermi-
mated all who are honest and
devoted to tho nation. There is not one vii
lage that has not supplied martyrs, who
have been deported to Siberia for support
ing communal interests and for protesting
against the administration. From among
the intelligent classes tens of thousands drag
In an intermiable string to Siberia to the
mines, exclusively for having served the
cause of the people in the cause of liberty,
and in order to attain q higher level of civil
development. This ruinous process of ex-
Termination of every Independent element is
at last simplifed. Alexander II. is the
usurper Of the nations right, the main pill
lar of reaction, the chief author of the ju-
dicial assassinations. Fourteen executions
weigh on his Coincidence. Hundreds of suf-
ferers cry for vengeance. He deserves to
die for tho blood he has spilled, for all the
suffering he has inflicted. He deserves to
die, but it is not alone with him that We have
to do. Our object is the national welfare.
Our task Is to emancipate the people and
make them masters Of their fate. If Alex
ander II. would recognize what
dreadful calamity he is inflicting on
Russia, how unjust and criminal the
oppression he creates, and, renouncing his
authority, would transfer such to assem-
bly, freely elected by universal suffrage and
provided with instructions by it's electors,
then only would we leave Alexander II. in
peace, and forgive him all his offenses. I'm
til then, struggle, an implacab.e struggle,
while there remains in US drop of blood,
until, over the ruins of despotism, there
waves the standard Of national liberty, and
the will of the people shall become the law
Of Russian life. We appeal to all Russian
citizens to support our party IN this struggle.
1t is no easy task to support the whole pres
sure OF the government forces. The failure
of the attempt of tho 10th of November is
an instance of the many difficulties with
which even separate aud comparatively un-
important episodes in the struggle are at
tended. We want generel support in order
to break up depotism and return to the peo-
pie its right and authority. We demand and
expect such supp >rt from Russia.
