The un fortunate Poles rushed forward unarmed to within a few steps of the pointed bayonets, when the commanding officer of the Prus sians ordered his men to fire, upon which ten Poles were killed and filteen wounded.

Yes—the Rubicon is passed—the Stale has taken her position in the contest—the Representatives of the people have solemn ly prescribed the ultimatum and commit ted the authorities, beyond all. doubt. It is now ton late to ei.quire, whether the legislative action was or was not the most wise, prudent, or constitutional course that; might have been taken —the state has placed! her all upon the cast, and she must "standi the hazard of the die”—and here let us! pause—and admonish the representatives of l/u people, that in all future time, when ever a question is presented to them in their Legislative capacity, which may be pro ductive of so rmich cvß—unless the good ior benefit to be attained, bi of a character 1 'greatly to preponderate, to hesitate cud | weigh well the sentence they pronounce. |ln this very instance—it is permitted only to omniscience to foresee—-but, may not one rash step ot the representatives of the 1 people, by which the Executive and judicial action is restrained, if not-' peremptorily prescribed, reach to, and fear asunder the very heart-strings of this Republic, it is itoo evident, that the importance of Stale ■ Legislation, is greatly underrated in this stale; hence the unnecessary straits, tu which, from time to time she has been re duced.
