Poland.
We turn aside for a moment, from the politi
cal turmoil of the times, and the disgusting fabri
cations of political rivals, to drop a tear over the,
fate of Poland—poor, devoted, chivalric Poland.
When Skrynecki was superceded in his com
mand, the sanguine and well grounded expecta
tion which we entertained of her restoration to
national independence, vanished “ like the base
less fabric of a vision.” We then felt convinced
that Russian gold and Russian intrigue, had sca
led the ramparts of Warsaw, and that the most in
teresting people in Europe had been betrayed iuto
the power of die “overgrown bully” of the north
How will France—how will Great Britain, an-j

pable indifference, their criminal i:Action 1 A '
word from them, and Poland might have been j
free. But, alas, they had not enough of magna
nimity or independence. Like Rome, in her ;
worst days of barbarism, they'viewed the strug
gle with the same unnatural insensibility as rite
was wout to do, in witnessing the bloody contests
of her devoted (Radiators. It is a foul blot upon
the reign of William and Philip, which neither
time nor circumstance can obliterate.
From our Correspondent,
MtLI.EDGEVJLLE, 13tll, NoV.
I was surprised to see in one of Bartielt’s late I
Telegraph’s, a false, slanderous, and vulgar state
ment of the proceedings which took place at the
dinner given to ?,Ir. Gilmer, in this place on
Thursday last. Had a seduction been made from
the ranks of society, a more intelligent and res
pectable company could not have been brought
together from any part of the State. Many of the i
gentlemen present, had meritoriously filled high’ 1
official stations-, both at hone and abroad ; and all,
cr very near all of them, were native Georgians,
the descendants of an old Democracy, and who
had rendered “ the State some service.” Such
are the men whom the Telegraph has shamefully
calumniated. The notice which.the Telegraph
takes of Mr. Gilmer, the veneßible Judge Craw
ford and the Hon. Mr. Berrien is equally menda
cious. Instead of Mr. C. exhibiting any solici
tude to address the company, he politely refused,
after havingbeen solicited to do so. The speeches
of Mr. Gilmer and Berrien will speak for them
selves, when published.
In conclusion, I need not observe to yon, Sit,
that the conduct of the company was characterised
by that harmony, decorum, and attractive affabil
ity,which always regulates the private as well as
public intercourse of gentlemen.
Had the misrepresentations of the Telegraph
been confined to thisplace, I should not conde
scend to notice them. But as they will be spread
before people unacquaint (1 with the facts, it be
comes necessary they should be corrected. I
have deemed it my duty to do so not only for the
honor of Georgia, but in vindication of the tradu- 1
ced character of some of her most pure and gifted
sons.

DINNER TO MR. GILMER.
On Friday last, the political friends of
1 G. R. Gilmer, Esq. asa testimony of their high
respect for his public services and private vir
tues, gave him a public dinner at the La Fay
ette Hall; the proceedings of which you shall
have after a while. The company consisted
of about 200 individuals, comprising members
of the Legislature, and some of tin; most dis
tinguished personages from every part of the
State. Notwithstanding the unfortunate re
sult of the gubernatorial election, a degree of
enthusiasm prevailed throughout, which gave
to the festive occasion an air rather of triumph
than of defeat—for,-in the language of a gen
tleman present, “ it is more honorable to fall
in a good cause, than to rise upon a bad one.”
Mr. Gilmer addressed the company in an
able vindication of the measures of his govern,
inent. He was followed by Mr. Berrien in
an eloquent speech, and by Mr. Seaborn
Jones, in some neat and pertinent remarks.
Several other gentlemen spoke.
Mr, Wood's Resolution in favor of Gen. Jackson.
The following preamble aud resolutions, were
introduced in the Senate, by Mr. Wood, of Mcln
tosh, on the Bth iust.
“ Wherjis the re-election of Andrew Jackson
to the Presidency of the U. States, for the next
term, is of vital importance to the best interests of
the people, and will tend to perpetuate the happi
ness and prosperity of our beloved country', as
v. <dl as preserve unimpaired the “ Federal Con
stitution ;” for the following reasons :
Ist. Because he is a decided anu firm friend to
the continuance of the Union of these ,Skates : “ It
must be preserved."
2d. Because he has avowed an honest eonvic
ttc.i, that the payment of the National debt is the
surest means of reconciling conflicting interests
at present existing, and thereby render perma
nent the blessings we now enjoy. If he is re
elected there is no doubt, that all important object
1 will be accomplished.
3d. Because since he has been President he
has done all in his power to ensure to Georgia the
Territory now in the possession of the Cherokee
Indians; judging therefore by the past, we may
confidently rely for the future on his exercising
all his influence to enforce our just rights* tliere
: by realise to the State the possession of those
lands, and her citizens the enjoyment of them-
For these and strong considerations,
Be it resolved by the Senate, and Mouse of Rep
resentatives of the State cf Georgia, that the
people of this state look forward with deep solici
; rude to the re-election of Andrew Jackson to the
Presidency of the l*. States at the ensuing elec
tion, and do hereby pledge themselves to support
him for that high office. Tin ydo not hesitate to
declare it as their opinion, that in the disturbed
and excited feeling of the country, he is the most
fit and proper person to be supported, and do in
the most earnest terms recommend him to the
people of our sister states at the approaching c
iectiou. 4 ’

Commercial,
[By the Br. ship William Donald. ]
Liverpool, Sept. 16, (evening,) 1831.—There
has been throughout this week, a good demand
for nearly all descriptions, and in some kinds of
Americana slight advance has boen obtained ;
but this does not appear to be sufficiently general
to authorize any change in the quotations-
It is acknowledged on all hands that good
quality is not only steady, but scarce and rather
looking up.
Liverpool, Sept. 17—Very considerable busi
ness has been done in our Cotton nrvket this
week, but in no irregular manner, the daily sales
having varied from 1500 to 7000 bags. It seems. *
however as if the increase of duty had begun t<>
give an impetus to the demand under an impres
sion that it must lead to advance of prices, in
deed some advance has already taken-mlace, but
it is confined to Brazil descriptions, does*
not exceed id per pound. Speculators in goneral
have evidently been a good deal excited, but have*
rot yet ventured to operate largely; their pur
chases are reckoned 1500 bags oi’ American.—
And 800 bags of the same have been disposed oF
for expert. •
In Upland, the transaction, have been exceed
ingly extensive, hut unattended with any obvious*
amendment of price; and the same may be saiiE
of Orleans and Alabama.
From the 10th to the 16th ist. inclusive, tile*
sales altogether are computed at 25,600 bags.
[By the ship Extio, at New York.]
Havre, Sept. 5. —Our prices remain the 'samo
for U. States’ Cottons. The inferior and ordina
ry qualities are easily obtained, Hut good qualities
are scarce and in demand. Notwithstanding the
considerable arrivals of last month, our stock this
day does not exceed 30,000 bales.
