Therefore, the Confederate resolutions, these manifestos and remanifesta faithfully depict the unpleasant situation of the voivodeships, but also the weakness of Stanisław's support. Both parties into which the voivodeship is divided support the elector Stanisław, stand by him, show their loyalty to the elector with manifestos and lands, but the actions of the landowners do not correspond to the words contained in the protests and manifestos. The latter eloquently testify that instead of moving against the enemy, the landowners stood in their camps, slightly retreating or giving way to the enemy approaching them, and disgraced themselves with a civil fight, at a time when they should have taken the field and defended the elect, the churches and the homeland. Resolutions such as those at Szczutków, Mościska, Kobylnica of August 23, 1734 negatively characterize the landed gentry and the unfortunate confederation in the Borderland Voivodeship. The Republic of Poland is being cheated, the Confederates cry, by people serving in the army who, through this service, avoid the popular militia - therefore we decree this laudum that people in the army who have been receiving pay for a dozen or so years, officers with charges, tempore pacis for a dozen years, praemiati, now that necessity requires and Mars polonus ad defensionem of the homeland are urged to take their places the bannermen were going... A strict rigor of a thousand fines for each undelivered henchman was passed to subdue Hungarian robbers.... What do the manifestos and remanifests mean in the face of such a resolution, that these or those are not looking for the good of the homeland, but "bonum privatum... that they are only looking for benefits for themselves and their families, and here Saxon and Muscovite troops are profaning churches, robbing the houses and manors of their brothers, raping them Kalmyk, Muscovite and Saxon hands... and here, after the death of our marshal, there is a fight for the marshal's staff.... An ambitious man (Uliński) instead of fighting for his country, brings in his company to hinder and spoil our deliberations and to gain the marshalship he spends money on executions in order to catch fish in murky waters, he feeds and bribes the less wealthy nobility... He has been exposed to countless trials, he does not seek peace but harm to all, he raids the tents of noble people, he looks for quarrels, he attacks people, he drinks his own food, he arms himself, he makes conspiracies... he makes lampoons about people... he waters some, treats them, scares others, and here the whole country is at stake... and here he is even more involved. the common militia did not fight or think...."
Lauda also state the disastrous influence of Saxons and Muscovites on land affairs and on the institutions of landowners. The Saxon takes advantage of the expansion of its neighbors in Poland, which is held in check by Moscow, in order to extend its influence on the former. The negative sides of such a policy can be seen in internal relations. The introduction of the Saxon administration into the management of the great borderland royal regions resulted not in the improvement of the economy in them, but, as we can see from the Lauds, in peasant revolts and emigration of peasants, to such an extent that several hundred thousand people left, for example, the previously rich Samborszczyzna. The migrations of impoverished people to Hungary and Wallachia also caused disorder, disturbances, and robbery in the vast submontane lands and also resulted in the impoverishment of the nobility. For centuries, it had extensive leases, villages and forests here, all the keys in its hands. Now the Saxons are treasuring 6 villages and mayors' offices, held by the nobility with separate privileges, blocking the privata authoritate, and electing hibernates contrary to the constitutions. The nobility, threatened in their economies, is materially declining, the Saxon treasury subjugator, as well as his Saxon colleagues, are destroying the poor people.
