CTA friend has sclented for this paper, the following extract from a work well known in this country. “ Mo dem Chivalry,” by Mr. Dreckenridgo, contains many valuable reflections; the extract given to-day, may in duce those who have not read it, to become acquainted with a work from which pleasure and benefit can be derived, and in which many cxcentricilies will be found, as will appear by the following spccimeh. 'EXTRACT. <• It seems to me, that economy has become : 'parsimony; the opposite extreme of prodigality, or extravagance. The one is odious ; the other contemptible. All tax, or no tax. There is no medium. But no tax, and economy, will as certainly destroy an administration, as all tax and extravagance. The meanness of starving officers, establishments, and improvements, will attach disreputation to the agents ; and operate a removal from the body politic itself. But in all things there is a tendency to extremes. The popular mind does not easily arrest itself when descending upon an inclined plane of opinion. Popular ballads are an index of the public mind. Hence we see that an arttipalhy to the protec tive system is thw ton at present, and is the ruling passion of the time. Yet in this there may be an excess, for the people are not always right; unless in the sense of the English law, that “ the king can do no wrong.” Doubtless, whatever the people do is legally right; hut yet not always politically right. For do we not find, from the voice of history, that those men ■arc thought to have deserved best of their coun try, who have occasionally withstood the intern porance of opinion. Self seekers only, “ are ■all things to all men.” Three things are neces snry to constitute a great man : judgment, for titude, and self-denial. It is a great thing to judge wisely. Perhaps this may ho said to •comprehend the whole ; lot - judging wisely on ; a large scale, will embrace fortitude, and solf 'denial. Hence, in the scripture phrase, bad 'men are called fools. It is but cutting down the fruit tree to hark in with the popular cry of the moment. All is gained for the present; but '■there is nothing for the next year. Such a 'man may get into a public body, but will not 'long retain his sent; or, if he does, ho looses all in the esteem of the virtuous and the wise. But I doubt whether the people arc so mad for a repeal of the protective system. It origi 'hates with those who are conscious to them selves that they cannot please them hy great •actions ; and therefore attempt it by small. The 'extreme has been of unnecessary expenditure; and it is popular to call out economy; which 'the people pleascr gets into his mouth and makes the shibboleth of just politics. But the peoplc tpleaser is not always the friend of the people. Do we find him in war the best general who '••nsults the ardour of his troops, and fights when they cry out for battle ? Pompey yielded to such an outcry, and lost the field of Pharsaliu. A journal was published in France, by Marat, kinder the direction, or, with the assistance of Robespierre, entitled “ L’Ami du Peuple.” There could not boa more seducing title ; and ■yet this very journal was mo, foe of the people. I have rto doubt but Marat meant well to the people ; but he had not an understanding above the ’public, and judgment to correct the errors bt occasional opinion. He was of the multi, tude himself, and did not overtop tiicm by hav ing higher ground front whence to observe. Ho had not been a sage before he became a journalist. Hence he denounced the Girondists, the philosophers of the republic; Condorcel and others, Who had laid the foundation of the revolution. He denounced them because they suggested a confederate republic, such us Mon tesquieu projected, and America has realized. Marat took up the simple, the one and indivisi ble ; the populace understood this, but not the complication, and it prevailed ; but the repub lic went down. I never had a doubt, but that the bulk of the ' jacobins in France meant well; even Marat and Robespierre considered themselves ns de nouncing, and trucidating only the enemies of the republic. What a delightful trait of virtue discovers itself in the behaviour of Peregrine, the brother of Robespierre, and proves that he thought his brother innocent; “ I am innocent ; and m\j brother is ns innocent as I am.” Doubt less they were both innocent. Innocent of what? Why, of meaning ill. “ The time shall come when they that kill you, shall think they are doing God a service.” Peregrine led the column with his drawn sWord in his hand, that entered and re-took Toulon. He threw himself into the denunciation. This ought to be a les son to all republicans to have charity for those that differ in opinion. It was the jacobins in France made Napoleon what he was. Tiberius and Caius Gracchus at Rome meant well; Agis and Cleomenes at Sparta the same; but they attempted to reform well in vision and imagina tion, but beyond what was practicable or expe dient, They fell victims to the not distinguish ing the times, and advanced stage of society, which did not comport with the original simpli city of institutions. HEROIC VALOR OF THE POLES In Salvaudy’s history of Poland, wo find the following interesting account of the glorious victory of Kotzim—the great achievement of John Sobieski against the Turks : “ Kotzim is a strong castle, situated 4 leagues from Kamanick, on a rocky projection which runs into the Dnieper, impregnable from the river, and surrounded on the other side by deep and rocky ravines. A bridge thrown over one of them, united it to the entrenched camp, where in Hussein Pacha had posted his army. That camp, defended by an ancient fieldwork, ex tended along the hanks of the Dnieper, and was guarded on the slide of Moldavia, the sole ac cessible quarter, by precipices cut in the solid rock, and impassable morasses.—The art of the Ottomans had added to the natural strength of the position : the plain was intersected to a great distance by canals and ditches, whose banks Were strengthened by pnllisades. A powerful artillery defended all life avenues to the camp, and there reposed, under magnificent tents, the Turkish generalissimo and 80,000 veterans, when they were suddenly started hy the sight of the Polish banners, which moved in splendid array round their entrenchments, and took up a position almost under the heavy lire of their ar tillery. “ Tho spot was animating to the recollections of the Christian host. 50 yeai s before, James Sobieski had conquered a glorious peace under the walls of that very castle : and against ils ramparts, after the disaster of Kobilla, the pow. er of the young Sultan Osman had dashed itself in vain. Now the sides wore changed ; the Turks hold the entrenched Camp, and the ar. my of the son of James Sobieski filled the plaiif. “ The smaller force had now to make the assault; the larger army was entrenched behind the ramparts better fortified, better armed with ; cannon, than those which Sultan Osman and his 300,000 Mussclmon sought in vain to wrest from the feOblc army of Wladisluus The Turks were now grey in victories, the assail ants were young troops, for the most part ill. armed, assembled in luistb, destitute of resources, magazines or provision^—worn out with fati gues and privations of a winter catripain.—Deep ditches, the rocky bed of torrerits, precipitous walls of rock-, composed the field of battle, on which they were called on to combat an enc my reposing beneath sumptuous tents, and be -1 hind ramparts defended by 300 pieces of can non. Tho night passed on tho Polish side in mortal disquietude ; the mind Os tho general, equally With the -soldiers, was overwhelmed with anxiety. The enterprizo which had been undertaken seemed above human strength ; and the army hud no chance of safety but in victory. *** Sobieski alone was inaccessible to fear. When life trOops were drawn forth on the fol. lowing rhorning, the Grand Hetman of Lithu ania (Michael I’az) declared the attack despe rate, and his resolution to retreat, ‘ Retreat,’ cried the Polisli her®, ‘is impossible. We should only find a disgraceful death in the niorasseS with which Wo arc surrounded ;—better far to brave it at the foot of tho enemy’s oh trench; ments. But what ground is there lor appre hensions ? Nothing disquiets me but what I hear from you. Your menaces are ourdlily dan. ger. I am confident you will not execute them. If Poland is to be effaced from the hook of nations, you will not allow oiir children to exclaim, that if a Paz had hot (led, they would not have wanted a country* Vanquished hy the magnanimity of Sobieski, the Lithuanian chief promised not to desert his countrymen. “ Sobieski then ranged his faltering batta lions in order of battle, and the Turksumde pre parations to receive behind their entrenchments the seemingly hopeless attack of the Christians. —Their forces were ranged in a semi-circle, and their 40 field pieces advanced in front, bat tered in breach the pallisades which were placed across tho approaches to the Turkish camp. Kouski,thc commander of the artillery, perform ed under the. superior, lire of tho enemy, pro. cligies of valor. The breaches were declared practicable in the evening; and when night came, the Christian forces of the two principali ties of Wallachia and Moldavia deserted the camp of the Infidel, to range themselves under the standard of tho cross ; a cheering omen, for troops never desert hut to the side which they • imagine will prove successful. “ The weather was dreadful; tho snow fell in great quantities; the ranks were obstructed by ils drifts. In the midst of that severe tempest, Sobieski kept his troops under arms tho whole night. In the morning they were buried in the snow, exhausted hy cold and suffering. Then ho gave the signal of attack, ‘ Companions,’said he, in passing through the lines, liisclothcs, his hair, his mustachies, covered with icicles, —‘1 deliver to you an enemy already half vanquished. You have suffered, the Turks are exhausted. The troops of Asia can never endure the hardships 'of the last 24 hours. The cold Ims conquered them to our hand. Whole troops of them arc already sinking under their sufferings,while we, inured to the climate, are only animated by it to fresh exertions. It is for us to save the re , public. Soldiers of Poland, recollect that Jesus Christ Combats for you.’ “ Sobieski hurl thricb heard mass since the rising of the sun. The day was the fete of St. Martin of Tours. The chiefs founded great hopes in his intercession : the priests who had ■ followed their masters to the field of battle, tra versed tho ranks, recounting the actions of the great apostle of the French, and all that they might expect from his knows zeal for the faith. He was a Sclavonian by birth.—Could there bo any doubt, then, that the Christians would tri ■ urnph when his glory was on that day in so pecu. liar a manner interested in performing miracles in their favor? : “An accidental circumstance gave the highest appearance of truth to these ideas. The Grand f Marshal who had just completed his last recoil ■ noissanc® of the enemy’s lines, returned With ; his countenance illuminated hy the presage of i victory— ‘ My companions,’ ho exclaimed, ‘in s half an hour we shall be lodged under those gild s cd tents.’ In fact, he had discovered that the r point against which he intended to direct his - principal attack was not defended but by a few . troops benumbed by cold. Ho immediately . made several feigned assaults to distract tho at ■, terttion oflhe enemy, and directed against the . pallisades, hy which ho intended to enter, the fire of a battery erected. The soldiers irnmedi- 1 ufely recollected that the preceding evening they hud made the utmost efforts to draw the cannon beyond that point, hut that a power apparently more than human had chained them to the spot, from whence now they easily beat down the oh staclcs to the army’s advance, and cleared tho road to victory. Who was so blind as not to see in that circumstance the miraculous intervention of Martin 6f Tours? “At ’that moment the army knelt down to re ceive the benediction of Father Przeborowski, and his prayer being concluded, Sobieski, dis mounting from his horse, ordered his infantry to move forward to the nssault of thetielVly opened breach in the pallisades, he himself, sword in hand, directing the Way, The tinned valets fol lowed rapidly in thejr fodtsteps. In a moment the ditches were filled up and passed; with one bound the troops arrived at the foot of the rocks. The Grand Hetman, after that first success, had hardly Utile to remount Oh horseback-, when, on the heights of the entrenched camp, were seen the standard of the cross and the eagle of Poland. Petrikowski and Denkoffhnd first mounted tho ramparts, and raised their ensigns.—At this joyful sight, a hurra of triumph rose from the Polish ranks, and runt the Heavens: the Turks were seized with consternation; they had been confounded,at the suddeti attack, rnadohta time when they imagined the severity of the weather made the Christians renounce their perilous on terprizo. Such was the ednfusion, that hut for the extraordinary strength of theposition, they could not have stood a moment. At this critical juncture, Hussein, deceived by a false attack of Czcrnick, hastened with his cavalry to the other side of tho camp, and the spahas, conceiving that he was flying, speedily took to flight. “But the Janizaries were not yet vanquished. Inured to arms, they rapidly formed their ranks, and falling upon the valets, who had dispersed in search of plunder, easily put them to tho sword.—Fortunately Sobieski had time to cm. ploy his foot soldiers in levelling the ground, & rendering accessible tho approaches to the hills. The Polish cavalry came rushing in with a noise like thunder.—The hussars, the cuirassiers,with burning torches affixed to the lances, scaled precipices which seemed hardly accessible to foot soldiers. Inactive, till that moment, Paz now roused his strength. Ever the rival of So bioski, ho rushed forward with his Lithuanian nobles in the midst of every danger, to endeavor to arrive first in the Ottoman camp. It was too late; already tho flaming lances of the Grand Hetman gleamed on the summits of the entrench, ments, and ever attentive to tho duties of a com. mander, Sobieski was employed in re-forming the ranks of the assailants, disordered by the assault and their success, and preparing for a new battle in the midst of that city of tents, which, though surprised, seemed not subdued. “But the astonishment and confusion of the besieged, tiie cries of the women, shut up in the Harems, thundering carriages of the heavy squadron's, clothed in steel invulnerable, and composed of impetuous young men, gave the Turks nci time to receiver from their conster nation. It was no longer a battle, but a mas sacre. Demetrius and the Lithuanian met at the same time in the invading camp. A cry of horror now rose from tho Turkish ranks, and they rushed in crowds td the bridge of boats, which crrfsSed the Dniester, am! formed the solo communication betweeh Kotzim and the fdrtified city of Kamarliek. In the struggle to reach this sole outlet from destruction, multitudes killed each other. But Sohicski’s foresight had de prived the vanquished even of this late resource. His brother in law, Iladziwil, had, during the tumult, glided unperccived through the bottom of the ravines, and at the critical moment made himself master of the bridge, and the heights which commanded it. The only resource of the fugitives was now to throw themselves into the waves—2o,ooo men perished at that fatal point, either oh the shores or in the half congealed stream. Insatiable in carnage, the hussars led hy Maziniki pursued them on horseback into the bed oftho Dnieper, and sabered thousands when struggling in the stream—4o,ooo dead bodies were found in tho precincts of the camp. The water of the river for several leagues ran with blood, and corpses were thrown up with every wave on its deserted shores. “At tho news of this extraordinary triumph the Capitan Pacha, who was advancing td in vade Poland, sot fire to and hastened across the Danube. The Moldavians and Walachians made their submissions to the Con queror, and the Turks, recently so arrogant, began to tremble for their capital. Europe, e loctrified with those successes, returned thanks for tho greatest victory gained for throe centu ries over the infidels.—Christendom quivered with joy as if it had just escaped from ignominy and bondage. [From the Georgia Standard.] WILLIAM 11. CRAWFORD. It need not lie concealed, that between Mr. Crawford and the Editor of tins paper, there have existed no very warm feeling of personal regard for several years past, but il is equally tl-uc, that wo have, upon all occasions, felt and expressed our high admiration of his character as a statesman. We wore among his earliest and warmest political friends, and have always considered him asoiie of the greatest men who has ever represented this union in either branch of congress, in the cabinet, Or at a foreign court, as well on account of his transcendent talents, as for his honest, and candid course. Mr. Crawford has rendered great and hnpor taut services to his country —“His name be longs to History, and we cannot consent to see it go tarnished to her archives.” These remarks are drawn forth on account of the unfeeling, unjust and illiberal attacks recent, ly made upon this venerable patriot fur his union doctrines. Because he will not abandon all his well tried and well settled opinions upon the prin ciples *f the constitution, adopt tho wild heresy of South Carolina, and sing peansand aritlioms to the talents arid patriotism of John C. Calhoun and Ins coadjutors, he is charged with renouncing the republican creed ami assisting to destroy the groat land murks of the republican party. We believe ourselves to ho walking in the light of tho good old Jefferson faith—Mr. Craw ford is fearlessly maintaining the same doctrine, and we shall sustain him. i Wc have said, the standard of Union shall he |an independent Journal—lt shall bo so. “Wc shall speak of men, measures and parlies, with the f ’oedOm and candor becoming our vocation/’ and in doin'? so, if wo know onrsolvcs, our per sonal feelings shujl never induce us to withhold justice from, or to “set down aught in malice” against, a fellow citizen.
