Tke Martyrs. ¦^Tfhat , Though Your-Cause...
TKE MARTYRS . _¦^ _Tfhat , though your-cause be baffled , freeman sast In dungeon * , dragg'd to death , or forced < o flee ! Hope is not witfcer'd in _Auction ' s blast . ; The patriot ' s Wood ' a the « ed of Freedom ' s tree . " We gave in our last an account of a deeply interesting event , the exhumation of the bodies of thc imartyrs Baird -and HARDy ., and their subsequent consignment to Jioly and consecrated ground—rendered holy by being made the last resting place of martyrs' relics . ; and . consecrated , not by the
mummeries of any _drivelling priest , bnt by the tears , the prayers , and solemn hopes of thousands and tens of thousands who , in body , or in spirit , have trodden or will tread that ground , to _uUer _thehensdictirn of Pkace over the remains , of despotism's «« iYfer « _fvictims , and to swear before high Heaven , that their deaths shall be avenged by that best vengeance , the triumph of the principles for which those martyrs lived , and for whicii they died .
This vear has witnessed some remarkable events , sufficiently indicative of the onward march of Democracy . Fifty years ago , the " Scottish Martyrs /' Mum , Palmer , Geruald , Skirvin g , and Margarot , were , af'er a sort of drum-bead Courtmartial , it would he blasphemy against justice to call it a " trial "—doomed to banishment and death . We say , and death , for not one of these gifted and noble men ever returned to tbeir fatherland . Their
« crime" was CHARTISM . They had , like the founder of Christianity , gone about teaching— " As you would that men should do unto you , do ye also to them . " They were condemned by venal juries and sentenced by judges who , even before coming into court , aud before their victims had been arraigned , had made up their minds as to the punishment they would inflict . That punishment was ruthlessly carried out , and , so far as the extinction of the lives of tbe above-named patriots was concerned , was eminently successful , with this advantage to their
assassins" Ihey died so slowly none dared call it murder . ' " Well , the " Church and King" men shouted for very joy . They had put down " French principles . " Vain mockers of the future ! This year has witnessed the erection of the monument at Edinburgh in honour of these very men consigned to death , and—as their enemies vainly intended—infamy ; but behold how eternal justice always , in the end , asserts her own . The ** criminals" are now regarded as Martyrs , whilst" the curses of hate , and the hisses of scorn , " mildew the memories of those infamous wretches , who once desecrated the judgment seat , and , with all the arrogance of would-be gods , dealt out the decisions of devils .
Twenty-seven years ago , Baird and Hardy were consigned to the executioner ' s red-reeking hand , because they , too , had struggled for JUSTICE TO ALL . The headman ' s axe hewed their fair flesh , and made of " God ' s own image , " bloody and disfigured wrecks of humanity . Again the hellhounds of " Church and King" lapped blood , and " _bay'd the moon" with their exulting howlings . All in vain ! . " Radical principles" assume another name , and a more defined form , and in 1847 ,
Scottish Chartists build up the monument of the Radical martyrs , and even the government of the aristocracy makes tacit acknowledgement of the injustice of the past deeds of their class , by permitting the exhumation of the bodies of those they now cal ' , not " traitors , " but ' ' unfortunate men I" Glory to tbe men of Glasgow ! Glory to the men of Scotland , and to al ! who in any shape have contributed to this act of popular _homage to the memories of the " unfortunate , " hut noble patriots of 1819-20 . One word to our Scottish friends : We would fain see a
similar act ofjustice done to the memory of poor old Wilson , wbose grey hairs were dabbled in his own gore . Such an act would reflect much more honour npon Scotland than all the absurdities which " loyal" knaves and slaves are at present in the act of committing to the gross outrage of common sense , and in illustration of their own hypocrisy or idiotcy . " It is a good cause , " said Muir , on hearing his sentence , " Jt is a good cause , it shall yet prevail , it shallfinally triumph . " And behold the be ginning of the end , the commencement of tbe consummation
o f the martyr ' s prediction . O'Connor , the Champion of Chartism , is triumphantly elected to represent in thc House of Commons , the very principles for -which Muir and Margarot were exiled , and Baird and Hardy murdered . Nor is this all ; who can doubt , who will dare question , that at the recent election , the foundation of future triumphs was laid , which insures the return , at thc next election , of a host of patriots to battle hy the side of O ' Connor for the triumph of Democracy . If the victims of Put and
_CastlensAGH could know of the progress of timr principles , " conquering and to conquer , " they would regard that progress as the noblest of all the monuments that are , or . could he designed to homage iheir virtues and perpetuate the memory of their _sartyrdom . Speed the day when that _homage stall be rendered perfect , by the completion of _Lthsrty _' s temple , in which all shall enjoy Freedom ' s blessings , and sing songs of triumph to the glory of those who . _suSered and perished * that their children might be free .
We sow a _= k the attention of our readers to the follow mg heart-thrilling narrative _Extracttfrom tbe Nuremberg Gazelle of August the 9 th , mi . —( _Trcaslation . ) Lembehc , Angnsth 7 th . —By a . decree _« f ths Supreme Criminal _Coart . confirmed on July the 1 st bj the Emperor of Austria , tw * Sole ? , Theopbilu * Wiszniewski and JoEeph Kapuscinski , were publicly hanged this day at 7 o ' clock , a . m . Or . 'he 28 th . of July the _decreeof death had been read tithe condemned , in jTisencc of * numerous audience , crowded on the ground facing the criminal tribunal . IS ; A _proclamation issued after the execution , it was made known tbat _TheopMhw 'Wiszniewski had been condemned tor high tseacon , and Joseph Kapuscinski for the same , acd for ' murder , ' committed upon the person of
Meckel , the Burgomaster of the borough of _I'ilzuo . The scene occasioned by the promulgation of the decree on tho 28 th _efSdly , and the display pf public sympathy exhibited by the waving of hats , handkerchiefs , by flowers thrown on the _delinquents , and even hy universal shouts and greetings , was bat a feeble and inadequate prologue to tbe grand drama which opened to day at 6 o ' clock hi the morning , and of which wo feel obliged to give a detailed account ; not only for the proof It affords of the hi gh degree of excite ment which th _» human heart rarf be wrought up to , but because it show * also how Inadequate capital punishment ! are _toprodoce _thetffecta intended by those who apply them ; and especially because it gives an insight of the spirit pervading , at the present moment the _populaton _Qf _Umbtrg , fa _tury htart ofGelicU ,
Tke Martyrs. ¦^Tfhat , Though Your-Cause...
At the stroke of 6 o ' clock , guarded by a strong null . ' jury escort ahd _' betweeri ' _tnbrows of infantry , tho car , _ww _trining the two culprit * left the criminal priso J | and moved towards the place of execution . Since the _^ _vious day , not a sing le flower could have been procu _^ even for the highest price . All tho windows and b aiwaie 8 of the streets through which the precession _t to pass , were thronged with _spectators of both aex . _» u iu the deepest mourning ; but no sooner did t ' _government authorities perceive such a display of - public sympathy towards the convicts , thau they _direcVd thc procession to be conducted another road , over th erampart 8 i through _by-streets , and near the Post Offica , Thus far they
succ . _eded in depriving Wis _pepultrr manifestation of its most imposing fe « t « ro i ; but w _' jen the car rtached tho p lace of execution , thf . re was found a compact and innumerable mass of people . Net one inhabitant of the town bat had pressed himself into the crowd _tocontemjiateonce move the faces of the victims ; not one nlio did notconsider them tobe , ' & otconvicts , _buthabtxbs _, tothe cause of P-olaad . -Nothing could frighten the masses away , neither thc danger of _offcudiuu the government , nor the . _uplifted swords , or the lowered bayonets of the soldiery , » or even tbe throats and sticks of thc police . Every o _» ebad with him or her , wreaths or bouquets of flowers , bedewed with tears , which were thrown at the
condemned . Ibe _strongest marks of _sjmpathy were shown ta Theophilus _Wiszniewski , he being an agent ot the . emigrants . This man , of a handsome and noble _physiognomy , . preserved a calm and intrepid appearance at _< tbe reading-of tbe sentence on the 28 th , as well as on tbe scaffold , and thereby captivated , ta ibe utmost degree , the hearts of the public . Although of a less imposing countenance , Kapuscinski _displayed equal energy . Both met death with the greatest courage and _resigns tion . Kapuscinski shouted— 'GOD BLESS POLAND l ' and Wiszniewski said to the people— 'LET NOT OUU FATE APPAL YOU ; BUT LET IT SBltTE YOU AS AN EXAMPLE HOW 10 DIE FOB OURFATHEItf ' AiNDl
And wheu therope » were _passedround their necks , both shouted still— 'LONG LIFE TO POLAND ! ' The noise of drums drowned the remainder of the speeches , they addressed to the very last to the people , who , in spite of soldiers and government officer ? , did not for a moment pause in their hud cries of LONG LIFE TO POLAND f Welearn from the decree of the High Court of Justice , that Theophilus Wiszniewski was 40 years of age ; waB born at Tazlowiets , in GalHeia ; had been educated at the School of Buczacz , and in 1829 hadentered the University of _Leniberg . In 1881 he joined the Polish insurgents of 'the kingdom , ' and during the _following-years worked incessantly with the secret societies ; Which , since then , have been organised over the whole of the ancient provinces of Poland . Accused in 1825 of high treason , he was imprisoned , but was in 183 C released for want ot
proofs . In 183 S an order was issued for his arrest for the same crime , but having received a timely warning , he fled from the country , and in the beginning of 183 !) reuched Strasbourg , where he entered the Polish Democratic _Society . A year lattr , he was elected a member of its Central Committee , where he remained as its secretary till 18 « , _tmi laboured unceasingly , with his colleagues , at kindling in Poland revolutionary plots against her lawful sovereigns . ¦ In _lStl he returned mu ' er various assumed _namen to Poland , in order to sow there , as an emissary of the Democratic Society , tbe seeds of rebellion _. During the last armed insurrection , beheaded a bandot rebels who fell upon a detachment of thc regiment cf hussars , known under' the name ot the King of Wirtem . berg ' s Own , ' He was married , and the tathtr of four children . His wife has become insane iu consequence of ber husband's misfortunes .
Kapuscinski was 28 years old . He aho was since 1830 actively employed in propagating democratic principles , and held a continual intercourse with _revolutionary emissaries . During the _iusurrict'on , he was the first in the circle of _Tarnew to rise against the legitimate authorities _, lie killed the Burgomaster at _Piliou , He was arrested at Lysa Gura , together with the other rebels . Wislocki , a Catholic priest , was also a member of Ihe Democratic Society , lie was the man \ ilio , during the revolt of Cracow , collected in thc circle of _Santctch about 2 , 000 mountaineers , in order to assist the rebels of the Cracovian territory . He attacked a detaebweu t of soldiers whom the government had sent _sgaiust liiir , and killcu the Commissary of the Circle of Bocbnia , Arrested some time afterwards , he was delivered orer to justice .
Yve suppose no apology is necessary for reprinting the above lengthy extract in this part ofour paper . Such a story of heroic martyrdom demands the most prominent place our columns can afford . We believe that the brave , the nohle , the god-like priest , Wislocki , has not yet been executed . If his life is altogether spared he will be more worthy of the pity of mankind than his martyred brethren , for who—that might choose—would hesitate between the Austrian gallows and the Austrian dungeon ? " Delinquents , " " convicts , " and " rebels , " are the epi thets applied by the soulless slave of the Nuremberg Gazette to Wiszniewski and Kapuscinski , " whose names shall be" with Konarski and Poland ' s ten thousand other martyrs
" A watchword , till ths future shall bo free . Ten Thousand martyrs have we said ? Why the whole nation is a _aiartyr-nation . The Poles are the Gretis of modern days . Alas ! that we should have to add , that heroism , not inferior io that which made the field of Marathon immortal , the shores of _Salamis eternal , and Thermopylae " A name of fear , Which tyranny still quakes to hear , " should hitherto have borne only ths " gloomy verdure and the bitter fruit" of failure , agony , and
death . The heroism of the Greeks challenges our admiration , and so does that of the Poles , but we are compelled to conjoin therewith sorrow and wonder . Sorrow , that such deeds of daring as Poland ' s sons emulate each other in the performance of , should hitherto have been in vain ; and wonder , that in defiance of misfortune , suffering , and death , still onward press the sacred band of survivors , eager as their fallen predecessors to " do or die " —to plant the banner of the White Eagle once more hi Poland , or perishing in the attempt , give their _life's-blood a sacrifice ou the altar of their
country . " Though foul are the drops that oft distil Oa tbe field _ofslaughter , blood like this For libtrty shed so holy is , It would not stain the purest rill That sparkles in the bowers of bliss _. Oh ! if there bo on this oarthly sphere A sight , an offering heaven holds dear , 'Tis tbe last libation Liberty draws Prom the heart that bleeds and breaks in her cause 1 "
The accouut of the extraordinary demonstration at Lemberg , on the occasion of the execution of Wiszniewski and Kapuscinski , will be read with amazoment by those—if there were any such—who believed for a moment the lies of Metternick and his infamous creatures . On the occasion of thc massacre in Galicia , it was shamelessly asserted by the accursed Austrian , that that massacre was the spontaneous work of the Polish peasantry , who , loving the Austrian Government , destroyed the Polish revolutionary nobles , that they might continue to enjoy the blessings of the bleised _Fkrmnand ' s paternal rule . At the moment of the promulgation of these calumnies wc hastened to undeceive the people ofthis country , and showed , by incontrovertible facts and arguments , the falsehood of
Metternich ' s statements . We showed that the Galician massacre was the work of Austrian troops disguised as peasants ; felons taken out of the gaols , whose leader , the notorious _Szela , _ljatl been a houseburner , a child-violator , and a murderer ; and lastly , by wretches whom oppression had briitaliscd-a class existing in all countries-wh 0 , with the other two sections of this army of assassins , undertook to murder the friends of freedom for a certain quantity of brandy , and a stipulated price for each head ! In a list of victims printed in this journal , we gave the particulars of the tortures to which several of the victims were subjected ; we repeat a few _:-

Ther Englishmen I read the bloody record again , and yet again , until you feel something of manhood's fire glowing in your veins , and exciting your hatred , not more against the murderous despotism of Austria , than against the treacherous Government of your own country , which not ouly basely allowed these horrors to be perpetrated without one sign of condemnation , but continued , and still continues , to embrace this infernal Austrian tyranny , as the ally of England . ' When , at the Tiverton election , Julian Harney demanded to
know why that alliance was not dissolved , and the English Ambassador ordered home from Vienna , Lord Palmerston sneeringly asked , what good that would have done ? What good ! Is there io good in honest men washing their hands of all connection or participation with tyrants , _faith-breakers , and bloodreeking assassins ? In the name of the people of England , we denounce the continuance , even lor one hour longer , of the alliance of this country ' s Government with the House of Hapsburg ; a house sentenced to fast-coming perdition for its manifold crimes .
In the very heart of that Galicia , in which we were told that popular opinion was universally opposed to the Polish revolutionists—in Lemberg we see the entire population , in defiance of threats and blows , lowered bayonets , and uplifted sabres , go ing forth as to a triumph , witb flowers and garlands , to pay their homage to their glorious countrymen on the brhik of the grave , and within the shade of the shadows of death . " GOD BLESS POLAND ! " "LONG LIFE TO POLAND !" are the last words of the expiring martyrs ; and a hove the roll of drums and the threats of tyranny ' s myrmidons , rise the people ' s choking sighs , heartbrea thed prayers , and tocsin-sounding shouts of
" LONG _LIFii TO POLAND !" The cause of Poland can never be despaired of whilst that country continues to bring forth such sons and daughters as Lemberg boasts of . Uyron said "When Grecian mothers shall give birth to men , " then wonld Greece be free . Who then can doubt of Poland , when her daughters are endued with more than Spartan virtue , and tlieir sons are worthy of such mothers ? It were treason to humanity to doubt the gloiious issue of the struggle .
Ifthe signs ofthe _tinu-s do not greatly mislead us , Europe is on the eve of that" war of principles , '' in which the death struggle will take place between Democracy and Despotism . Revolution looms over Franco ; and in Italy , Switzerland and Spain , the dogs of war are held in leash but for a moment , and then ! To these subjects wo have not space lo do justice this week , but we cannot conclude with _, out a parting benediction on _Mettbunicii . That incarnation of wickedness is drawing near to hi 3 end , but we do not despair that ho will yet suffer the torture of seeing all his schemes frustrated , and the horrible system be has erected utterly snept away . Wo confess we shall bs somewhat disappointed if he does not ultimately imitate
" Carotid-artory-cutting Castlereagb , " of whom it maybe truly , said that ' ' nothing in his life became him so much as his manner of leaving it . " Be _thatasit may , if there be justice in Heaven , or truth in Revelation , the * hottest hok in Tartarus will be ( only too good for ) his final reward .
The Law In Lincolnshire. Wo Have Already...
THE LAW IN LINCOLNSHIRE . Wo have already alluded to the unfortHnato circumstances connected with the death of _DrDsos , the Secretary of the Sleaford branch of the Land Company , ln another part of our paper will be found a full nnd accurate report ofthe trial—of the extraordinary conduct of tbc Magistrates and their Clerkand the termination of the proceedings by the protest
of tho most respected member of the Magisterial Bench , and-one of its seniors as well , against tbo illegal decision of the others . The law , whicii ought to have guided that decision , will be found clearly laid down by thc counsel employed ; therefore , we need not expatiate on the subject . The only excuse the Magistrate can offer , is an utter ignorance ofthe laws of their country , which ought , of course , to incapacitate them from holding the important office , the privileges of which they enjoy .
Our business in the present instance is , however , to prevent the dastardly falsehoods uttered by a hireling ofthe Press , from prejudicing the minds of tho _« ' good folks" of Lincolnshire . The Boston , Stamford , and Lincolnshire Herald , has presented ft column of mingled romance and invective to its subscribers , since the hireling tool of an expiring f action dared not write against its own "circulation . " IIowever » this paltry limb of the _pres 3 thought proper to make a harvest out ol death , and to placard tbo district with bills , _stating that it would contain a detailed account of tho proceedings , and urging on tho public when and where tho " copies" must be ordered .
The Herald sets out with telling us that it entertains a due regard for the life of" even the humblest man . " How generous ofthe Herald-1 ' Evek ofthe "humblest "—as though the life ofthe poorest man were not of equal value with that of the richest ; and as though humility should bo concomitant with honest poverty . But , in order to evince its leaning towards the " bumble , " it has recourse to falsehood , and misrepresents their case , ltactually states that the deceased was " in thc act of stooping , to pick up a stone , when struck , " a circumstance never hinted at in the remotest degree , by the counsel for Sharpe _. or anyone
of the witnesses he called ! Itfurther adds , that " not ono of the witnesses , either before the coroner or the magistrates , ventures to express his belief tbat the blow was given with a malicious intention ''—whereas almost every witness who saw the blow , deposed that it was aimed at the head ; one ofthe medical gentlemen examined , sworo to it , that it _iittut have been aimed at thc head , and the other that it was a blow direct for the head ! Besides which , eleven witnesses swore thoy heard Sbarpe make use of vindictive and triumphant expressions . The editor further
expatiates on the verdict of tho coroners jurywhich it calls tho " noblest institution forthe protection of the poor as of the rich "—an institution , however , which was not intended to embrace men of 75 . Yet , thinks thesapient writer , the matter ought to have been allowed to rest after this I Surely notif conducted as beforo tho magistrates-where their clerks wrote down wrong depositions , themselves objected to the in sertion o important evidence , and exhibited an amoun of levity and party-feeling , aliko unbecoming the magisterial character , and the pailful nature of tbe _caso under _considers
tion . Feeling the weakness of his position , so much that ho is obliged to pervert truth , and invent evidence _, the writer of this article next prooeeds to attack men of whom he evidently knows nothing—as " a pack of _Ciwvttst bloodhounds , whoso boast it is to resist all _authority , aBd to embrace _stllopportunities to inflame tb _; popular mind , and mil popular ; indigestion .
The Law In Lincolnshire. Wo Have Already...
We entertain not the _a l ' igbtcst doubt that the Chartists would hail as their Utopia , a total suppression of all law _. the annihilation of all Magisterial authority the suspension of all police intervention . " Unfortunately for the Editor , however , lie has _girena full report of Ernest _Jolts' speech to tlie public meeting called within two hours after the Mag istrates gave their decision—at the conclusion of which speech , as given in that very paper , we find the following paragraph : —
" Mr Jokes then proceeded to advise his hearera that , as it was their desire and object to let liberty and peace go hand in hand , they should leave riot and turbulence to the factious , bloodshed to their oppressors , and blows to the minions of tho police ; while they maintained peace and order , bearing no illwill toany man , however much he might have injured them . " And , quoting from the same paper , wo find this " _Chaitist bloodhound" saying on the same occasion : —
' He was a great enemy and opponent of any breach ef the peace ; he would uphold tho law ; he would support justice and not anarchy ; but he insisted it was impossible justicocould ever be maintained , unless the rights ofthe people were properly guarded . " Very like a " bloodhound , " indeed ! But we do not wonder at the hostility of the editor;—the editor is , doubtlessly , a " gentleman "—and he
accuses Mr Jones of walking down the streets , " arm in arm" with a working man ! This seems to excite his astonishment and indignation in " a barrister and a gentleman . " He has not yet learned tbat the honest labourer is a more noble man tban the paid libeller , or the penny-a-liner , who sella truth and reputation fer a mess of pottage , —or the Magis . trate who perverts the Jaw he has sworn faithfully to administer , —or any rich and titled idler , who lives upon thc unrequited labour of his
fellowman . But the Editor , poor fellow ! was evidently disappointed . He expected a row , and says : " Much disappointment- was evidently felt by the popular party that no riot took place . " We suspect this dis appointment was felt by the UN-popular party , "Mr Editor , Magistrates & Co ., "— We should like to know how the disappointment was manifested ? A larger assembly congregated than the county
members were able to obtain—no po lice were presentand not one word or action oc » urred even remotely _calculated to lead to a breach ofthe peace—whereas on the previous occasion , when circumstances of painful excitement , _likn the slaughter of a deserving and excellent young man , had not taken place , the polioe did , not interfere—and violence and bloodshed were the result . In whose hands does the peace of the country seem most safe ?
This sapient Editor , again / lets the wish-be father to the thought . lie says _. nothing resulted from this display—he says the threat of carrying the case to the assizes , is a mere idle threat . Not " 0 , Mr Editor ; a light has been kindled amid your fens , you and your mates can never quench . — Not only many workin _? mon became members of tho Land Company and the Charter after the meeting , but two ofthe wealthiest gentlemen in the
neighbourhood have signified the same as their intontion . The members of the Land Company will not tamely submit to the murder of one of tbeir officers . The Chartists of the country will not let thc little band at Slea f ord struggle alone . This sympathy will be extended—not in an unholy conspiracy against law and justice , but on the Christian principle of ' Do unto others , as you would that others should do unto roa . '
We are happy to learn that the Chartists and Land-members of Sleaford have entered into a subscription for the young widow of the deceased , to present her with a paid-up share in the Land Company , and to render other pecuniary assistance . Sadly wrong , indeed , must be the laws ot the country , or their administration , if a family can thus suddenly be plunged into mourning , suffer the irreparable _lofs of a kind , industrious , and irreproachable btisband and relative , by the wilful _outrage of a privileged slayer , and those laws , or thoso
magistrates , sanction the crime , and by such sanction participate in its guilt . We can tell them , the further prosecution of this case is no idle threat , and wa should , indeed , bksh for our brethren in ma ? cause , were they not to do that whieh they will do , prosecute thc investigation to the utmost ! Press of matter compels us to omit a report of tbe public meeting that took place one _lwur and a half after the decision was known , _bntshould space admit , we will give it next week , as reported in thc Boston , Stamford , and Lincolnshire Herald .
Tiie Recent Investigation Of Sleaford. {...
TIIE RECENT INVESTIGATION OF SLEAFORD . { From the Lincoln , Rutland , and Stamford Mercury . ) Tne investigation into tbe circumstances of the death of Dodson , by the hand of _policeman Sharpe , was resumed by tho Magistrates at Sleaford on Saturday last . The inqui- y occupied the whole of that day , the whole of Tuesday , and until four o'clock on Wednesday . The result oi the proceedings was a refusal on the part of the magistrates to entertain thc case a ? ainst Sharpe , thus confirming the verdict of the Coroner ' s jury , which declared the homicide
_excusable . Charles Alltx _, Esq ., one of the _o'dest magistrates on the bench , protested officially , and in the strongest terms , against tlieir decision . Time will not allow us to state tbe case at length ; but , were all the circumstances known , it would bo unnecessary for us to add , that the decision of the bench created n feeling of dissatisfaction ; a _feelins i which was most unequivocally expressed at a meeting held in the Market-place , thc same evening . Pur a meeting confined to the inhabitants of Sleaford , the one held on this occasion was the largest we have evor known , being attended by _upwards of 15 , 000 people .
