In addition to the above, let us consult simply the sound of the names of places, and we can form some idea of the extent of races and nationalities. Nowgorod, Kaluga, Pskow--are _Rossian_; Telsze, Szawle, Rosienie--_Lithuanian_; Winszpilis, Gielgawa, Libosie--_Courland_; Lublin, Ostrolenka, Plock--_Polish_; Wlodrimirz, Zytomirz, Berdyczev--_Volhynian_. In Austria, are the inhabitants of Venice, Prague, and Buda, Austrian? The name of Prussia is an old one of Slavonians living at the mouth of the Vistula, and has no etymology in the Teutonic language. Those of Galicia and Lodomeria are unskilfully disfigured from Halitsh (Halicz) and Wlodzimir. The name of Prussia was assumed by Frederic II., margrave of Brandenburg, when he took the title of king, at the same time giving solemn oaths never to pretend to the sovereignty of Dantzick (Gdansk), Thorn (Torun), etc. The present empire of Alexander is not of _Russia_, but of _Rossia_, and the name of Russia is imposed on Polans near Kiow, on Radymicians near Nowogrodek, on Drewlans south of the river Pripec, etc.; and we must remember that Catharine II., in 1764, had solemnly declared by her ambassadors, Kayserling and Repnin, that she had no right to Russias or Ruthenias in Poland: 'Declaramus suam Imperatoriam Majestatem Dominam nostram clementissimam ex usu _tituli totius Rossiae_, nec sibi, nec successoribus suis neque Imperio suo _jus ullum_ in ditiones et terrae quae _sub nomine Russiae_ a Regno Poloniae magnoque ducatu Lithuaniae possiduntur,' etc. The prediction of the reestablishment of serfdom as a result aimed at in the present Polish struggle, is not only rash but preposterous, and has no foundation except in a fixed purpose to direct all sympathy toward Rossia.
