Poland. The following im
portant and affecting address
to the Polish Nation has been
published by the Government
of Poland:
ADDRESS
TO THE PEOPLE OF POLAM).
"Countrymen Already the
combat for our existence, for
our liberty and our indepen
dence, has begun: it is perhaps
the last. Our iirst fixed pur
pose is gloriously to conquer or
to die; and , we have sworn, that
if it should please Providence
to permit us to be subdued like
the Jews after the destruction of
Jerusalem, we shall never case
to be Poles. We will swear
now that we will hide our na
tionality deep in our hearts
from the eyes of our enemies
and that never will a member
of our great but unfortunate
nation unite himself with our
enemies, either by blood or by
friendship that never shall
want or contempt bring us or
our latest descendants to deny
Poland but that we will look
upon one another a brothers,
help one another in toiland,
in the midst of misfortune and
in misery, live upon the recol
lection of the past and present,
and preserve the moral pres
ence forever, and rather dis
perse over the face of the earth
than languish in slavery. May
those Powers who are favora
ble to us at least obtain this
much that after our fall we
may be permitted to leave the
sacred land of our fathers with
our possessions and .-goods.
The Diet shall prescribe tho
form of our oath. The Diet
shall take it with the Polish
people, and shall order it to be
read from the pulpit. The
Minister of Foreign Affuira
shall address notes to England
and France exhorting those
Powers, that in the event of a
defeat the remains of our na
tion, as well as the prisoners,
shall be set ai liberty, and per
mitted to leave our "fatherland,
profaned by the enemy, soaked
by the blood of the Poles, and
strewed with their bones -that
we may sell without hindrance
our possessions and goods, and
carry with us what we can take
away. Those powers will not
repulse the prayers of a people
who for ten centuries have
guarded Europe on the East
and on the North, and the con
queror will rejoice to be rid of a
generation which must ever
hate him. If he possesses tiie
magnanimity which he profes
ses to the world, he will wil
lingly do a deed contributing a
likc to his glory, nnd io his in-
t a. rft
km est. j nose amongst us
whom Providence shall permit
to survive, or who shall bo
wounded and in prison, will,
with v.yna full of t -a;s and with
biccdin Iwrts, love the land
of our f;ithr, w'wu tin priests
of our H,iy Faith, and repair
Tct tts sv dis::i regions of Aia,
Africa and Aoir'rica, which the
providence of God and hospi
tality shall point out thankful
to the. giver of a!) n? vluin where
our nationality mav still be
permitted to survive."
Improved Machinery. It is
said a machine is in operation
at Wheeling, Va. propelled by
steam, which saws boards the
proper width for flooring, and
ploughs, groves and planes
them. It is said to do as much
work as 20 men.
Light in the West. A very
general sentiment appears to
be setting in the western states,
in favor of a reduction of the
duties on those articles consum
ed by poor people. In . one
year the vessel of state will get
righted.
Singular and Outrageous
Circumstance. Yesterd ay af
ternoon, a white and black man
oi into a dispute on a sloop
near the south ferry, when ?hc
latter seized :he former in his
arms, nnd thrrw him off the
sloop into the river, nnd he was
drowned. The black fellow
has been arrested.
