THE POLE'S GOOD NIGHT. A song, a song for Poland, A cup of festal wine, Tho' pledged by many a breaking heart, Still strong for thee and thine. With smiling lip, and catm, smooth brow, Our fate hath taught the art, From every loved one, round us now, In soldier guise to part. The homes, the homes of Poland The mountains, and the plains, The rivers, and the free wild woods, The slaves who burst their chains. The mother's sacred love the tears That weep the hero's fall The memory of our better years Fill high, to one and ail. The sword, the sword for Poland The keenest and the best; But fling away the coward shield, And bare the warrior's breast: As gaily to the battle ground, As to a banquet on! There's music in the trumpet sound, Fill high though hope be gone! The cross, the cross for Poland! Aye, honest hearts and true. Have boldly dyed the peaceful robe In glory's sanguine hue. Beam holy cross of conquering fame, That led one Consfantine, But tremble thou, of recreant name, Before the banner'd sign. Good night, good night to Poland-To-morrow's sun may rise To see us rest on mother earth, Beneath our own blue skies. And welcome, welcome, if the strife Be won, to make thee free! Fill to the last dear throb of life, Oh! Poland all for thee! LOVE. O, love! love! love! Love's like a dizziness; It wunna let a pure bodie Gang about his bizziness. Anti-Tariffi Convention. Our readers arc already appri sed that a proposition was made by a respectable body of gentlemen,-from various sec tions of the Union, assembled at Philadelphia on the 4th June, that a Convention for the pur pose of securing the efficient co-operation of the friends of free trade throughout the uni ted States, in procuring the re peal of the restrictive system, be held in that city on the 30th of September next; and that ev ery State in the Union has been called upon to send delegates favorable to the objects of the Convention. Our purpose m again calling public attention to this project is to recommend the co-operation of North-Carolina in this laudable object. Many considerations conspire 1o render such a Convention important and desirable. The advocates of restrictive mea sures are exerting every nerve, and combining every influence they can press into their ser vice to establish the misnamed "American System," in its most obnoxious form, and even now boastingly declare it to be the "settled policy of the country." Meetings of manufacturers and meetings of wool growers, have been held; and theTariffites are preparing to meet in General Convention at Baltimore in September next, to deliberate upon, and consider the best means of fastening the Tariff, and Henry Clay wufc it, upon TcZlllT those whose vital interests are u,uuuio u.uvust to be sacrificed by this "bill of abominations,1' to organize themselves, and to adopt some plan by which they too shall act harmoniously and vigorously in the defence of ' their ' rights. against the encroachments of the aristocracy of manufactu rers, who are moving in a solid phalanx, sparing neither time, nor money, nor. pains, to main tain their exclusive privileges. 1110 ProPsed Convention will do this, and even more. Being a peaceful and constitu tional measure for uniting, the friends of free trade against their opponents, it will organize a plan of proceeding which is best calculated to effect their object without mischief. Let them enter into it with the de termined spirit and ardent zeal which the righteousness of their cause, and the magnitude of their grievances, are calculated to inspire; let them send a num ber of delegates from each State; let them select their most talented and distinguished men concentrate their intellectual strength; and the result of their deliberations may- be glorious. We are glad to observe that . "i our sister estates are embra cing this measure with avidity. Meetings have been held in some sections of Virginia, and lelegaies appointed; both the State Rights parties in South- Carolina .have adopted it, and are selecting their representa tives; and the notes of prepara- tion are sounding in other I States. Will North-Carolina sleep at her post! When the defence of liberty, independence, and constitutional rights have claim ed her aid, has she ever shrunk from her duty! Nay, has she not been the first to declare and maintain therm Is she not now called upon by her own bleed ing interests and principles to put forth her intellectual strength! Does she not feel that in proportion to the in crease of the unjust and oppres sive system of taxation sought to be abolished by the projec tors of this Convention, will her prosperity and independence decrease! Then let her not be among the 'last to unite with those who are common suffer ers with her from it, in the en ergetic use of all peaceable and constitutional means to arrest the progress of measures, which, while they extend undue pro tection to the interests of a ve ry small proportion of the citi zens of our country, are most blighting to the vast interests of all the rest. Raleigh Star, Good Dividend... We under stand that the Appleton Manu facturing Company have decla red a dividend of 124 per cent, for the last 6 months- Boston Gazdtc. Capitalists who have money are glad to loan it in safe hands, at from 3 to 4 per cent. The "Appleton Manufacturing Com pany" is one of the great Low ell establishments and is owned by the Boston dons -it is year- iy uiviuiug, us win dr seen above, at the. rate of 25 dollars on every 100 invested. The Clay "system" men continue to cry out for more protection for manufacturers. Would it not be quite at well that Congress should protect the farmers and other working men, as tp legis late further for the, exclusive protection of aristocratic manu reduction of duties on articles be quite as useful as increased tax ationl The friends of the pre sent Administration have suc ceeded in reducing the duty on tea, coffee, molasses, &c. and they will not slumber nor sleep until they shall gradually reduce the tax oi3 every article of ne cessary consumption. ' oncord N.IL Pat. ic? jc;-.nvinff is an-rvtrnpt fror hfi h 'a number nf ih , , v mv Christ;.. n Examiner. IthasaJ lusicn u our own happy and flourishing country. Let it be read rind judged of: "Here is a community., we are accustomed to' say, free, flourishing, and prosperous, be yond all example; there never was a country in which all men, from the highest to the lowest, from the richest to the poorest, could be more independent. And yet, if we were to travel this same favored land, and were to enquire into its real con dition, if not satisfied wiih flue landscapes, & flourishing fields, and. goodly dwellings, and the appearance of well clad citi zens, we were to inquire into the state of property, and the degree of Veal independence and comfort that prevail, we sho'uld be astonished at the ap palling amount and distressing burden of pecuniary obligation. We should rind an almost in credible proportion of the com munity laboring under this load and pressure. Debt, universal debt, would meet us, wherever we turned our eves. The far- mer owes the trader, the me- chanic owes for the raw mate rial, the trader owes the impor ter. In many districts, the country traders will testify that a considerable proportion of the debts contracted for what are considered the necessaries of life, lie unpaid for two or three years yes, and they lie in the shape eft mortgages upon real estate. We have been in some of the most beautiful townships in New-England, and have been amazed, on inquiry, to find that half of the farms in them were under mortgage. "Now there aro several cau ses to be assigned, doubtless, for this extraordinary state of things; but one distinct and prominent cause unquestiona bly to be found in that state of political equality we are consid ering. It creates a large, un productive class in the female members of innumerable fami lies in the country. The daugh ters of our substantial farmers (as they are called) cannot go out to service, it would be a de gradation as they would deem it. Meanwhile the cheapness of the fabrics that are sent out from our manufactories lus su perseded the labors of theoom and the distaff. Spinning and knitting are absolute toils, and the labors of only one or iwo can contribute any thing to the support of the family. At the same time, this non-producing js by no means a non-consuming class, as the bills of the mer chant show, to say nothing of that grosser part of the account, which the granary and the cel lar have to render. "It is perfectly evident that farmers, with moderate means, must go down under this bur den. They do go down by thousands. And what is infi nitely the most to be regretted, they go down in character as they go down in property. They lose heart and courage. The mortgage that lies heavily upon their estates, lies heavily as an incubus, upon their minds. They often sink under it to in dolence, vice, and ruin." Seizure of Jewels. On the 23th iilt. .the Collector of the port of New-York, bavin" re ceived private information that a smuggled lot of valuable jew els were deposited in a certain house in that city, proceeded to the spot, and succeeded in se curing a small box, which was conveyed to the Custom-house and opened. It was found to contain precious stones and jewels to the value of about $100,000. One great sapphire tJ6ne.-wIiich.it contained, is i . . . .u 7 nnn rm, said to be wuriu gi,uuu, xuc Mercantile remarks: "It will be remembered that inj Sept. 1829? the Princess of Change was robbed, in a very unaccountable manner of her jewels, in the palace at Brus sels. In Decemberof the same year, a reward of about $20,000 was offered in this city, for the recovery of these jewels. The Dutch minister, on seeing those seized; by the Collector, felt morally sure, as we understand, that they were part of those be- long angij ng to the Princess or Or- if they should prove to be t. io identical ones, a nice ion will arise, as to the que? manrter ot their restitution: they tare very valuable, being estimated by competent judges at abljit 100,000."
