Thou art. sounding on thou mighty sea,
Forever and

The ancient rocks yet ring to thee,
Whose thunder nought can tains.
Oh ! many a glorious voice is gone,
From the rich bowers of earth,
And hush d is many a lovely Lone
Of mournfulness or mirth.
The Dorian flute that sigh’d of yore,
Along thv wave, is still;
The harp uf Judah peals no more
On Zion’s awful hill.
And Memmon’s lyre has lost tr. 3 chord
That, breath’d the mystic tons,
And the songs, at tLome’s high triumphs pour’d,
Are with her eagles Hewn.
And mute the Moorish horn that rang
OVstream anil mountain free,
And the hymn the leagued Crusaders sang,
Hath died in Gaiiiiec.
But thou art swelling on thou deep,
Through many an olden ciirne,

overawe the Poles. Encouraged by her first suc
cess, in finding no resistance made to her usurpa
tions, she boldly threw off the mask, and laid claim
to them as having formerly belonged to< Russia,
and to get the other neighboring powers lo sanc

the distracted Poland that part which extends
down the Vistula, and was then called Polish and
now West Prussia, with the exception of the cities
of Dnntzig and Thorn. Austria in the name of
Hungaria, claimed and took possession of Gailicia
and Buko wine, the most fertile part of Poland, wit! i
its productive salt and iron mines. The remnant
of this dismembered kingdom with a phantom King
at its head, formed in 1791, a constitution, which,
after numerous difficulties, was adopted by the na
tion. According to this instrument, the govern
ment was to have adopted a representative

To every wind and sky,
And till our earth’s green shores rejcics
In that one harmony.
It fills the noontide’s calm profound.
The sunset's heaven of gold;

Let there be silence deep and strange,
Where scepter’d cities rose!
Thou speak’st of one who doth not change—

GET POIaAITD.
As far back as the history of this country hasbeen
rescued from oblivion, it appears that a certain Pi-
askus, a shepherd, like the famous Roman Cincina-
tus, was invited by his countrybten to leave the
plough-handle lor the more difficult helm of gov
ernment, and that lie conducted himself with so
much prudence, that his grateful subjects continu
ed to sanct ion an usurpation, in His inale'descend
ants, ol’the royal sceptre, until his family became
extinct in 13S5 when Jagellen, Grand Duke of
Lithuania, was elec led King by the Nobles, and
joining Lithuania to Poland, which more than
doubled its extent, and introducing the Christian
religion among his subjects inrLithuaaia, a new era
for Poland arose Jag- lien took the name of W!a-
dislaus at his baptism in 1J8G at Cracow, and tnar-

te union of Poland and Lithuania
by a diet. :o Wilpa in 14 g. It was
ie act of union, that in c; the fami
ly of Jagellen should become extinct, a King should
be chosen jointly by hod. Nations, and thus the*
monarchy was 'to become elective. <In 1499, the
Union was renewed, and the leading article was,
that the Poles should not e'oet their King without
the concurrence of the Lithuanians, nor the latter
their Grand Duke without the consent of the Poles;
but the Diet held at Lublin in 1569, as already sta
ted, made the Union complete. The descendants
of Jagellcn succeeded each other, but their right to

On Friday afternoon there was a grand display
of artillery tactics. The Cadets manoeuvred se

NOMINATION OF JOHN C. CALHOUN.
For the Presidency tf the United States.
The Meeting of the f iends of -Mr. Calhoun, a t
t’ie Broadway House, last evening, was numerous
and highly respectable. The room was filled.—
The cuair was taken by John Woodward, Esq. one
of the delegates to the* last Herkimer Convention,
assisted by Col. Alexander Hamilton. David
Brush and George Bruce, Esqrs. were appointed
Secretaries. The subjoined resolutions, with the
exception of two last, which were offered by other
persons present, were also adopted unanimously.
It was unanimously Resolved, in consideration
of the commanding talents, the unblemished repu
tation, the consistent reptd .erotism, .ud the. en
lightened patriotism of JOHN C. CALHOUN,
to nominate him as a candidate for the ChiefMagis-
tracy, of the United States, and to invite the earn
est co-operation of out follow citizens to promote
and ensure tire election cl this distinguish^ indi
vidual.
It was further resolved, to bestow our best ef
forts, and exerT every honorable means to advance
the political influence*oQJohn C. Calhoun, as ts-
sential-y important to give permanency 1o Ot r re
publican* institutions, and dignity and intcUigt nee
to the administration'of our public aflaus, which
most desireable result we most confidently antici
pate from his profound and extensive knowledge of
our general interests, his tri al worth arid long ex
perience in our national councils, and able support of
every enerjetic measure, calculated to eleva’eand.
sustain the true honor and permanent prosperity of
the American Confederation.
It ivas further resolved, that we contemplate
with deep regret", the unfortunate entanglements
and discreditable embarrasments, in which the
presidential independence and dignity have be-
j come involved and degraded; the more especially,
that, as the early friends of, General Jackson, we
imagined there was substantial reason to hope
the succession wns always ratified by the Diet, so
that the appearance of an elective monarchy was
kept up, until at the extinction of ibis race in 157-2
in the person of Sigismnnd Augustus, when the
Poles elected Henry, Duke of Anjou, afterwards
Henry 3d ofFrance, who privately left the King
dom on the death of his brother, Francis 2d, King
ofFrance, and abdicated the throne, whereupon
they elected Stephen Battori, a prince of Transyl
vania, for their King, who vanquished the Turks
in several engagements, and re-conquered the IJ-
kraine from the Muscovites. Stephen died in 15-
86, and Sigismnnd of Sweden was elected, who
carried on a long and unsuccessful war with his
native country against his cousin, who had usurp
ed his patrimony; he died after a reign of 49 years,,
in 1626, and was succeeded bv bis son W1 adislaus
7th, who continued the war with Sweden w : th no
greater success, until an end was put to it by the
peace of Oliva near Dantzig, in 1660, in the time
of his son and successor, John Casimir, who had
ascended the throne in 1648. In the reign of this
Prince the Elector of Bradenburg obtained a grant
from the Polish crown of ducal Prussia, which he
had formerly held as a vassal of Poland. Michael
Wisnowski, a Polish nobleman, succeeded him in
1659, and John Sobiesky, his general, in 1675, with
5,000, Poles, attacked a Turkish army of 80,000,
and put them to flight; lie was*crowned King at
Cracow the following year, and appointed General
issimo by the Christian Powers, in 1683, to relieve
the Emperor Ferdinand, who was besieged by Soli-
man the Magnificent, with 200,000 men, in his
capital, Vienna. Sobiesky had with him but 40,000
mixed troops, but he deceived the Grand Sultan,
bv his able manoeuvres, as to his real strength, j
teer, to make his apprentice ship under General
Washington,) is, however, well known, when he
was opposed to an overwhelming Russian force un
der Marshal Smvarow, to require repetition here.
It is too painful to recite it. The bloody scenes
that succeeded his defeat, were still horribly visible,
and written in characters too legible lo be misun
derstood, when I visited Praga and Warsaw in 17-
99, lour years after the massacre. Warsaw fell
into the hands of Prussia, Cracow was given up to
the AusP ians, and all the rest incorporated with the
j Russian part of Lithuania. In 1806, the Poles a-
I gain revolted and joined the French Emperor, who,
at the Peace of Tdsis in the following year, formed
apart < \f their country into the riutchy of Warsaw,
with the King of Saxony for trfeir Duke. In 1809
the Austrians invaded the dutchy, and occupied
Warsaw; but. the Russians, who were then the
allies of tiie French, again dislodged them from
theude; and in 1813, after the retreat of the French,
from Moscow, Warsaw fell again into the hands
of Russians, and at the peace of Paris in 1815, was
erected into a kingdom under the protection and
government of the Czar, with some additions to its
former extent as a dutchy,-and Alexander granted
the Poles a constitution, which it shall be my ob
ject to describe in the succeeding number.

who attended her. * \
Another was the arrival and departure of the ex-
Secretary of State, arul to us auother, the polite
ness and civility received from Gen. Van Cortlandt
and Mr. Dudley of the board of visitors. Our own
city was well represented, and we left behind us
several cf cm* most agreeable and distinguished
citizens.
Of Mr. Cozzens Hotel we would remark that it
is a splendid house, aud is kept in ihe best style.
The kindness and good humor of the host leave a
very favorable impression on the minds of his
guests. In, short, West Point is a place of no or
dinary interest, and as such we commend it to the
notice of ail persons of taste and refinement.
From the Albany Daily Advertiser.
West Point.—The throng of visitors to this
place has for several days back been very great.

The Hotel kept by Mr. Cozzens 1ms been crowded
Lo overflowing, and while the ladies have been
crammed by sixes in the bed rooms, the gentlemen
have been happy to repose by dozens on the draw
ing room floor. Upon landing, a few days since,
we found at the dock a very comfortable wagon to
carry up the passengers, and another for the bag
gage. The Board of Visitors being in session, we
proceeded directly to the examination hall, where
the fourth class was undergoing a most rigid scru
tiny in their studies. The President of the Board
and the officers of the institution were in full dress.
Two orderly sergeants were in attendance upon
the Board.
The answers of the young men were generally
prompt and satisfactory, and it must be confessed
that their mathematical pursuits are of the most
difficult kind. Our college studies and examin
ations are children’s play compared with those
at West Point. A young gentleman from Albany
acquitted himself well on this occasion.
In the evening a dress parade was held as usual,

ery species of favoritism, temporising expedients,
and proscriptive changes in official stations.
It was further Resolved, that vve have contem
plated, with serious alarm, the recent efforts of the
Executive to procure the repeal of the 25th sec
tion of the Judiciary Act, as a dangerous and im
politic attempt to subvert the supervisory useful
ness of the Supreme Court of the United States, in
effect, tending to produce an entire annihilation of
this important chain of Judicial decisions of consti
tutional questions, thus rendering all act* of State
legislation independent of a salutary federal con
trol, essential to an intelfigent understanding of
State Rights and the prerogatives and powers of
the Union.
It was farther resolved, that we consider tbe
prosperity of Commerce, toe improvement of Agri
culture, and the encouragement of Manufactures,
as inseparably blended in one common cause, ex
tending and contributing the means of success re
ciprocally to each other.
It. was further resolved, that every attempt, to

war of succession to the Austrian dominions, the
Elector having taken sides tviih Maria Theresa,

and Frederic having revived an old claim as Duke

province was ceded to Prussia by compromise, the
Elector of Bavaria having resigned his claim, and
given Maria Theresa firm possession of her inher

new alliance for the recovery of that fertile prov
ince in 1736, attacked her ally the Elector and
King, in his hereditary dominions, and compelled
his army of 18,000 men, encamped near the con
fines of Bohemia, to surrender. This produced
the seven years’ war, which was carried on with
various success, and*ended by the treaty of Hub-
ertsburg in 1766, in which year Augustus III. died.

There appeared simultaneously in the Georgia
Journal, the Southern Recorder, and the Federal
Union, of tire 12 th inst. a third communication in
the shape of a circular, from that man of circulars,
Mr. Thomas Haynes of S]Wta, in which the name
of the editor of this paper has been uncourteously
introduced, and his motives and conduct in the
publication of the irs/ circular of Mr. Thomas
Haynes of Gainesville, dishonorably impugn dt
In the unjust attempt which Mr. Haynes^ol Spar
ta has made, through the medium of these papers,
to impose upon the public mind the wilfully erro
neous impression of a secret conspiracy to hi|iue
his prospeefs, or silence his claim to the Executive
Chair of Georgia; the consolation is loft him of
knowing, that fear and envy are alike silent, and
that neither can be excited by a cause so feeble, or
a claim so impotent. For the apprehensions of an
imagination so evidently annoyed by 1he s re ret
mov'ements of the conspirators, whose plans are
ever and anon developed through the medium of
this paper, our nature forbids anv other feeling
than that of the purest kindness and commisera
tion, and to this may be added the same kindness
and commiseration of the public.
fn vindicating ourselves from the unnecessary
attack of Mr. Haynes of Sparta, and in convinc
ing the public of its injustice, our object will lie ac
