The great anxiety that is felt here in all that relates to Poland, will, we are sure, render ac- i ceptable, the following summary of the various caus es which led to to the revolution—these we believe are less generally known to our readers, than the deeds ofdaring done in the contest now waging.— Early in the reign of Alexander, secret societies were formed at Warsaw for the purpose of throw- in<>’ off the Russian thraldom.

The popularity of which he speaks, is the only popularity that a judge, or indeed a nv good man, should seek to win. Whpn Judges shall aim at papular applause or executive favor, diy other means than an upright and fearless discharge of their dutv, they will deserve to forfeit the one7 as well as the other. We trust, that in this country, the day is distant when threats shall influ ence even the timid, in the administration of the laws. No man is fit to be a judge, whose conscious integrity, whose moral courage, and who?* well stored resources of mind do nof elevate him above all sinister influences. Lord Mansfield. “But here let me pause!— “It is fit to take some notice of the various ter rors hung out: the numerous crowds wdiich have tended, and now attend, in and about the hall, out of all reach of hearing what passes in court; and the tumults which, in other places, have shamefully insulted all order and government. Audacious ad dresses in print, dictate to us, from those they call the people, the judgment to he given now, and af terwards upon the conviction. Reasons of policy are urged, from danger to the kingdom, by commo tions and general confusion. “Give me leave to take the opportunity of this great and respectable audience, to let the whole world know, all such attempts are vain. Unless we have been able to find an error which will bear out, to reverse the outlawry, it must be affirmed. The constitution does not allow reasons of state to influence our judgment: God forbid it should! We must not regard political consequences, how T formi dable soever they might be: if rebellion was the certain consequence, we are bound to say ‘Fiat jus- -Gilia ruat celumf The constitution trusts the king with reasons of state and policy: he may stop pro secutions; he may pardon offences; it is his to judge whether the law or the criminal should yield. We have no election, none of its encouraged or approv ed the commission of either of the crimes of which the defendant is convicted: none of us had any hand in his being prosecuted. As to myself, I took no part, (in another place,) in the addresses for that prosecution, ffc did not advise or assist *.ie de fendant to fly from justice; it was his own act, and he must take the consequences. None of us have been consulted, or had any thing to do with the pre sent prosecution. It is not in our power to stop it; it was not in owr power to bring it on. We cannot pardon. We are to say, what we take the law to be: if we do not speak our real opinions, we preva ricate with God and our own consciences. “I pass over many anonymous letters I have re ceived: those in print are public; and some of them b a ve bee n brought judicially before the court.

It is not true, as many are taught to believe iu Eastern States, that the South are opposed to domestic manufactures: nor it it true that the South desires to repeal all protecting duties. The South asks that the taxes should be reduced to the current expenditures of the Government, and desires that they should be so levied, as to give the incidental protection which a revenue duty can give to our manufactures. The manufacture® themselves are as deeply interested as the South, in such a reduction; and we concur in the opinion, (expressed in a late letter to a friend, by a states man whose opinions are supposed to have great weight with Mr. McDuffie himself,) that, twolion- est men could, without difficulty, adjust the ques tion, so as to secure the mutual interests of the va rious sections, and harmonize the country. Is not the object to be attained worth an effort? Shall we boast of an attachment to the Union, and yet per severe in the use of the language, and insist on mea sures, calculated to destroy if ? Let those who breathe a heated atmosphere, flatter themselves as they may, the principles and policy advocated by Mr. Calhoun in 1816, are the .principles and policy of the nation. Then, as now, the question was, how, and on what articles, should the taxes be re duced? Mr. Calhoun then advocated a protecting duty; not a duty which should regulate the indus try of the country; but a duty, indicated alike hy justice and policy, securing those interests which had grown up under the necessities and legislation of the country. Some have confounded the pro tection of 1816 with the protection of 1828. The manure, decaying vegetables, and top soil from be-1 rection of them.

There are some soils and situations, where it is utterly, vain to attempt to retain all the water that falls, and prevent a break. As, 1. Where the lull is is very steep when the highest furrow that could be thrown would only bring the surface to a level in capable of holding water; and this difficulty is in creased in the extent of the declivity. 2. Where there exists inequality of surface in consequence of former washes and" breaks; and 3. When com bined with either of the loregoing, the soil, from its own nature, or the absence of vegetable fibre, is de ficient in powers of cohesion. A remedy lor these evils has beee provided by Mr. Skipwith, who merits and cultivates the exten sive and well improved estate of the late Sir Pey ton Skipwith, on the left bank of the Roanoke. It is to carry along at certain distances from j30 to 50 or 100 yards asunder, ditches of very moderate de clination to some lateral drain. The furrows cor respond with these ditches if the hill is very steep and other circumstances are unfavorable, but if ad missible, the furrows are level.

That Mr. Lumpkin is opposed to General Jackson ? That he is combined with Webster, Sue. These may not be lus words, but are the substance.

The Review proceeds to give a concise state ment of the Polish grievances, and refers seriatim, to the various articles of the Constitution of 1815, which have been infringed atdiflerenl times—name ly, the Russian Regiments at Warsaw and its vi cinity have been lodged and supplied with neces saries at the Expense of the inhabitants, in viola tion of article 10, of that Constitution. During the last twelve years a strict censorship of the press has been established in violation of article 16, which guarantees the liberty of the press. Articlesjl 8th to 21st confirm the old principle, that individuals could not be arrested, imprisioned, tried, &c. ex cept according to law—all of which have been vio lated. Article twenty-first secured to every Pole the liberty of travelling and removing his effects &c. hut of late years this has been denied. Arti cles 39, 91, 93, relating to the finances, have been quite disregarded. Articles 47, 43, prescribe the responsibility of ministers and superior officers of the state—which have been literally annulled. Ar ticle 87 says, the Diet ought to be assembled once every two years, and yet from 1920, to 1825, none was convoked—and since Nicholas’s accession, on ly one diet has been assembled. Article 95 de clares that the debates shall be public. However, an ordinance dated February 1825, abolished their publicity. This was the only illegal act that Alexander signed himself. Articles 110 and 111 limit the nomination of senators or members of the upper house, to the class of persons paying 2,000 florins—this was violated. Articles 135, and 137, prescribed the formation of a Municipal Council in every palatinate or province of the kingdom, for the purpose of electing the civil officers, controling the local expenditures, making the electoral lists, &c.— this of late has been .infringed. Article 153 pro vides for the formation of a militia, for the internal security of the country. This force however, was never organtzed. Such, among others are the blunder sort of ploughing, as he termed it, and my overseer condemned the whole quite as positively. He had never seen such crooked business in old Virginia, and therefore it must be wrong. I finally by dint of authority carried my point, hut it requir ed a firmness little less than that which put down the Polignac conspiracy. DE RUSTIC A. A correspondent of one of the New York papers communicates the following key to the pronuncia tion of Polish words: “To put an end to the general complaint of the impossibility, or, at least, the difficulty, of pronoun cing some Polish names, I will make the following brief remarks. >y “As we have learned from a French paply : the name of the brave Skrzynecki to he pronounced Skrejinetski, I will only add that this, expressed complaints of the -violation of the eharter, as stated bv the « poles themselves. Even making allowance for some exaggeration, it is evident that there were sufficient grounds for dissatisfaction.—JNC Y.Jtfsr- most Polish polysyllables, on the penultimate. “In a similar manner pronounce the c in all Po lish names like^ts in English (as Ploek, read Plotsk;) the Polish sz like English sh (as Kalisz, read Kal- ish;) and lastly, the Polish cz like ch in church (as, Lovicz, read Loyich or Lovitch.) “This is all that is chiefly to be noticed about pronouncing Polish names.’ with English characters, would he written Skerz- _ o hinetski, or Skershinetski, the accent resting, as in difacturers themselves are desirous for ?Tjudicious From die Hn>ed Suites Telegraph. SOUTH CAROLINA. ' We have read with much regret, in the Charles ton Mercury, an account of the proceedings at a dinner given to Mr. McDuffie. We are among those who admire the pre-eminent talents, and con fide in the unwavering patriotism of this accom plished statesman and orator; but we cannot sul>- scribe to his errors of opinion, or approve of the untimely agitation of the exciting questions, said to have been discussed by him. Mr. McDuffie is a hard student, and, mingling but little with socie ty, draws his opinions from the independent re sources of his own. mind. No one is more tena cious of his own opinion, or less influenced by those of other men. He is too refined to be practical. Uncompromising himself, he arrives at the opin ions of others, as he would have them to arrive at his, by their acts—and hence, he draws an argu ment fzom the proceedings of the late Congress, that all hope from a returning justice of the ma jority is utterly delusive—and urges South Caroli na to put herself on her doctrines!!! Cui bono ? No one knows better than Mr. McDuffie that the tariff of 1828 was the result of a political con flict, and alike unpalatable to both parties. Mr. Adams and General Jackson have both recommend-* ed modifications; and we will, we trust, be excused for the opinion, that the apprehension that too much time would be consumed by the discussion, and a desire to press other questions, of more im mediate personal interest, induced many to vote against the propositions made at the last session, who, under other circumstances, would be decided ly in favor of a change. We have had much conversation and some cor respondence on this subject, and we can assure our Southern Triends, that many of the intelligent man- tion and forbearance, as they will of talent and pat riotism, and the bona fide manufacturers themselves will, next winter, as they did in 1816, throw them selves upon the protection of South Carolina. The Maysville Eagle, speaking of Mr. Van Bu- ren’s mission to England, says: “All the information we have on the Bisect, makes it extremely probable, that Van Buren is to be sent to England. Will his appointment be con firmed by the Senate? Certainly not without the votes of some of the Senators w r ho have heretofore opposed the Administration. Much stress has been laid on Mr. Van Buren’s magnanimity in resigning his late office. If he is sent to England, his magnan imity will consist in exchanging $6,000, for tlie.next year, for $18,000. But it»is childish to talk about magnanimity. Who believes it? It was an adroit manceuvre; though perhaps somewhat urged by ne cessity. We do not thinJ^Mr. Van Buren’s confirmation hy the senate a matter he need feel much anxiety about—he is a prominent inhividual standing be fore the tribunal of the nation—and he must abide by the nation’s decision—not by ti secret conclave of twenty-four Senators, whom various combina tions may bring to act together, or whom personal enmity may bring to act against him. We are not certain, indeed, that his rejection would not operate to his advantage—that it might not awaken in his behalf, public sympathy—that it might not he re garded, like a long imprisonment before trial, as a part of the Dunishment the nation may doom him Wi to suffer. te recollect the indignation we felt when good men were rejected bv the Senate during Mr. Adams’ administration. The Senate has hut rarely been an index to public sentiment. But enough of those contradictory reflections.” Remarks.—We make no pretensions toprophe* cv; hut, judging froth the facts within our knowl edge, we incline to the opinion, that M -. Van Bu ren’s nomination wiil be rejected by the -enate. Certain we are that it w r iH be, if the ’part wh cl he has acted since he came to Washington, is fully exa mined. His rejection, under such circumstances, can excite no sympathy, and will consign him to lasting retirement. Indeed, we have our doubts whether he wili not yet affirm his ow n condemna tion, by declining the miss or., and thus escape the' severe ordeal.— U.S. Tel. Fjom the Albany (JY. Y.) Deity Advertiser.

The argu ments put forth in some of the public speeches, and in many of the newspaper paragraphs, are calculated to defeat the object which they profess to advocate. As for instance, it is assumed that the tariff' of 1823 is a Western measure, and that the West are interested in oppressing the South!! Is tliis true ? Who does not know that Kentucky is as much interested in the prosperity of the South, as the South itself? It - is known that there is a scarecrow hi frighten women and children. From the Standard, which professed so much alarm at the existence of an institution so extensive as the United States’ Bank, we expected better things We did hope that it would join in just reprehen sion of a knot of moneyed dictators, which is using every means to get a control of country hanks. We did hope that that paper w ould sound the toc sin of alarm, and caution the public, of the serious consequences which would result, if these greedy and gormandizing monopolists should effect the ob jects which they have been so industriously striv ing to accomplish. If the Mechanics’ and Far mers Bank should extend its influence much mere in this State, it would become, united as it is w ith the leading men of the Regency party, a power dangerous beyond compare with any th'ng that has be depre- ever been among us, and which should ... cated as a force eminently calculated to give aristo crats a controlling sway inlhe government, and to deprive the people of the full enjoyment of their li berties. Let the Standard ponder on this matter; and let its practice accord with its professions. The New York Standard exults, because Lot Clark appeared at Binghamton with his $240,000 certificates of deposit in the Machanics’ and Far mers’ Bank, and secured a majority of the stock. Its pretence for rejoicing is, because the “opposi tion” were defeated. Without inquiring as to the propriety and virtue of this pretence, we call on the Standard, as we have before on the Argus, to noinr out who where the persons of the “opposition’ 5 thafc appeared there and endeavored to obtain a control of the Binghampton hank. strong anti-tariff interest in New England; and >d< who does not see that the argument, that-the tariff gumt is an Eastern measure, enriching the East at the expense of the South, is a direct appeal to the in terest of the East, which, by conceiting it to be a question of local, instead of general prosperity, arms the the political tariff men with an irresisti ble argument, confirming their local influence, and preventing opposition to a system which all are in terested in correcting. The East are taught to be lieve, that the South are opposed to any tariff, and the South to look to resistance, as the only remedy against Eastern oppression. The surest remedy is wisdom, moderation, and We hail apropoeitfon, made in the IN HABERSHAM SUPERIOR < OURi> . ,’ APRIL TERM, lS3i. lelding Hill and Frances Keith, j Complainants, J vs. Albriton M’Daniel, Nathan Cook Thomas Haynes, Jolm Fountain, Williams Rutherford, Patrick J.
