KESOLUTIOXS THANKS. Iu the oatliea8terjj part of Europe, a wast population (three or four liios larger than ours was in 1776) are inakiuone m ire heroic and, perhaps, final sTrtigle to free themseWea from the most jgalliug yoke that ever was imposed upon the necks ot men. ,1 be story ot their sub jection by, conquest, of their long and dreadful suffering?, of their sighs -and cries and bloody tears, has been repeated in the ear of the world, till the Barbarities of, the lurks auu the Miseties or the Christians arc familiar iu the .history of thb centuries. The Turks, as a race, have no relation ship to the Aryan or Indo-European fami ly; "They made their first appearance in Northern anE Ceutral Asia among the Hun and Tartar horde, who, for several centuries before and after our era," ver the terror of the Chinese." Piiny mene lions them as the Tttrcce, and at the be- ttrinniiig of the Christian era, they -had traversed westward to the Don, and had penetrated into Asia Minor. Iu the sixth century, an empire, having its seat iu what is now East Turkistan, rose into power, and was formidable in the heart of Asia ; and in 569 U formed an al.iance with Justin II, the Hunan Emperor ot Constantinople, for the overthrow of tho assanidaj, a dynasty of Persian kings, by whom the religion of Z coaster was maintained. This Turkish Empire was overthrown iu 744 by the Uigurs, one l eight Turkish tribes, and the first to U8 a written language.. They were original ly Buddhists, but in the 4'h century they became Z'jroustrians, and in the 9th or 10; h century they embraced Islam. When Genghis Khan destroyed the Turkish Empire iu Ceutral Asia, his chief officers and his successors were taken from the tribe of Uigurs, ou account of ior ireeaom ana neip. - Dai as sour sym pathies have been so long aud decidedly oppressed, we prefer to state tue : case in tbe words of. another. And we. will take British authority, a great English histor tan, Dr. Edward A. Freeman, whose his tiry of the Norman Conquest is pronounced by the British Quarterly Itevieip, "by far the greatest history of the dayi; and by the Spectator, "a perfect modeljcf histori- the Eng imuortaut an 5c Co., their superior intelligence. T Ire 8 e 'links-rapidly extended their conquests toward Western Asia, aud as early as the 6th and 7ih ceuturies had possessed what is now known 'as Turkey in Asia. The Seljuchs, another Turkish dynasty, in thr latter -parl-nf the 11th century swept over Asia, from the frontiers of Chi'ia to the viciiiity of Constantinople, but were fin ally; subdued hy thu Mongols, in the 13i.b century. These Mongol invaders of cal si tidy." His "Growth of lish Constitution," j and .other; works, are published by Maetnil 2J. 'Astof Place, and" all whohave read them know that his is a calm, informed, and judicial mind. Dr. Freerakn says in tbe Preface to his "History of the Saracen Conquests,:" t . "At this moment the people of southeastern Europe are striving to throw off tlie yoke of ages, the yoke of the foulest trrannj- on earth. Their independent neighbors of their own race have come to their help, as the men of one half of .England would go to the help of the oilier, if the other half were held djjwn under Turkish bondage.- Every generous heart in Europe is longing for their success n their no ble and righteous struggle. Every generous heart in Europe is burning with indignation at the foul deedajwith which the oppressor hasi striven to put down the revolt of victims whose patience was at last exhausted. ' "Here is a gieat struggle of right and wrong, in which the facta of history join .Willi every generous impulse of our nature to lead every man who can fee and feel to the side of right. , j 'Even under the very best Mahometan gov ernment, it is impossible tlmt men o4" other re ligions than the Mahometan should have real political equality with Mahometans It is im possible, because it is contrary to thje first prin ciples of the Mahometan religion. iThe unreal formed, intolerant Turk, has the better of the argument with the Turk who profesite reform and tolaration, because the unreforiued Turk is consistent according to his (jwn prin ciples, while the reforming Turk is hot. Even under the best Mahometan government, the nin-Mauonielan is doomed to political inferior ity, and under a bad Mahometan goverernment, political inferiority is isure to grow into actual personal oppression-! What has griown to be under that system of organized brigandage which in the courtesy of official language is call Ottoman government, we see with our own eyes. All experience past and present, proves that in such a case reform is hopeless. The evil thing cannot be changed ; it miust he got rid of. Meanwhile the condition of the Christians under the Turkish yoke has been getting worse and worse. Thai is to say, a Christian government, however bad, is capa ble of reform. The government of the Turk is incapable of reform ; because in truth it is 110 government at all, but simply organized hrig atid&ire. Tills lasi trutli is one that should be clearly understood. The rule of ihejTurk is not government : it is not even misgoverrtinent. it is; the mere domination of a gang of robbers. If a burglar breaks into a house, we do not call it misgovernment ; and the so-called 'gov ernment' of the Turk is tuniplv nn set of burg lary prolonged for centuries. Ihe dominion Tuikistau became identified" wiih the peo- of other comjnerors became lawful las soon as pie they had conquered, and, the Turkish element predomiiiuW g in ihe age follow" ing thedeuh of laiueiMue, they invad ed and subduid Armenia and the coun tries bordering on ihe Tigris aud the Euphrates. ' ' About the beginning of th'e 14th cen tury, the Ottoman Empire was founded r by O.hmau, a Tuikish chief, aud in the succeed 1 n r century spread over a vast territory iu Asia and Europe.- Iu the 4 h -cen Fury, the Roman gov ernment was removed to Constantinople : their dominion became 'government as soon as lite conqueror and the conquered became one nation with a common interest. As soon as tile sovereign gave protection, the subject owed allegiance. Hut in tlie case of the Turk, the conqueror and conquered remain aS distinct as ever ; the so-ca lied 'sovereign' jjives no protec tion ; therefore the so-called 'h abject owes no allegiance. To the peopleof Romania, Iinlgaris, liusuia, and other enslaved lands, the lurk is not a ruler; he is not a countryman ; he is as much an alien enemy as when he Hirst crossed the Biisporos. j "Ihe so-called Ottoman eavernnient wsim- plva rule of a gang of robbers; arid it is the rule 01 a gang 01 ruouers witnouit a captain ernment was auhmitted 100 years ago "to a eandid world." i The law of the land ia the Koran. If any other book agrees with the Koran it is nseless : if it docs agree with it,jit iabad. ! The principles of that book, as applied to Christians, are too well known to; require repetition. The collection of revenue for the government is simple robbery j the despotism of the Sultan is unlimited : his decrees absolute. 1 3 ' and even that weie tolerable, were his promises worth a straw. . His best ally, the British government, cannot trust him, and was deceived buly last week by his pretended willingness to redress the out rages inflicted upon the Bulgarians. Aud the barbarities inflicted in peace and in war are the constant, perennial horrors filling tlie world with shame that Turks belong to the same family with ma'x. In 1822, in Sent, a lovely island in the Grecian Archipelago, the Christian popu lation rebelled, madly indeed, for their prospect of success was vaiu ; in two months 23,000 hman beings, without dis tinction of age or jsex, were put to the sword : 47,)00 were sold into slavery, and 5,000 fled into jfcxile to save themselves from this awful fate. The Christian pop ulation was reduced i:i two months from 104,000 to .2,000 j Tlie light of the' Christians to throw off the Tuikish yoke If tliey on is therefore unquestionable. We hav heard one and only one reason given tor the continuance of the present Mahometan despotism : it is this: : I " Protestant i missionaries have liberty to preach the gospel in Turkey under the Ma hometan rule, and it is feared they, would not enjoy that liberty if the Turkish despotism were overthrown. The Russian government being in sympathy with the t'hristian population, which is eh icily of the Greek Church, it is fear ed that the work of oiir missions will be arrest ed hy Russian authority." To this, tho answers are simple and obvious : r 1. It is only an imaginary fear, for which at present there is no foundation iu I act the tain that the Provinces are simply to change masters.
