"Gire us Lig1a."-The recent sparring between the two leading Jackson papers in the State of New York, the Albany Argus and New-York Enquirer, as which of them possessed the confidence of Mr. Van Bursn in the greatest degree, productive of consd erabe amusement to the mere "lookers on." But the soft lovspats of these two brethren of principle ac- cordng to their interest" have been the means of bringing to light other matters of more importance to the community. The editor of the newly established New-York Standard, Mir. Jencks. formerly of Boston and Washington, and until lat.ery rank Jacksonian, in auding to these quarrss of the Argus and Euqui- Ter, makes the disclosures foilowing:-

 Courteous reader-ShOud the following brief num- bers receive your appreciation, or aid the cause of
 uh morality, and virtue, the writer is already com pensated. The style will be agreeable with plain common and to all of that stamp they are ad. dressed in the effnsions of sincerity and good will.
 The subjects may be very various, and without par tcuar regard to age orsex; and hinis designed to stir up useful thought and inquiry and to admon- ish to the path of duty and wisdom.
 What is man and whence did he originate The latter question is fully answered by Divine Revelation viz That man, and all created things, came into ex. istence by the will and Almighty power of an inde- pendent Creator, to make known to rational beings, his projections, and his unbounded wisdom and be. nevolence; and to display the Divine Character, as the source Of all true happiness. Bot what is man [ A question involving deep inquiry and investigation How varied his character talents features, pursuits and dialects! How then can he be easily deiinsd- Reader there is not another like you or me. nor like our neghbor. Though all have the same nature, still the diversity is all but infnite. And while we s,e looking abroad this endless variety, and speculat- ing in theories and opinions, let turn our thoughts to our own breasts. And there we may soonest make the discovery, what man is.
 There, if seek for faults and ioIes, we may find them. If we would correct errors, subdne wrong pro- pensities and passions, aIlay anmoses and feversh excitements there we must begin. And if every one would do this, society and mankind would be unvsr- sally benefited.
 It is the variety which exists, that disurbs the repOse of socieiy-that prod0ces discord and dsor- der, and thousand moral wills that need not exist- The bane is in something else, and there the remedy

THE CAUSE OF POLAND.
 It IS known to many that appeal has recently been made, by the friends of liberty in France to the sympathIes and bera:ity Of the people of the Uned States in favor of suffering Poland. meeting has been held in the city of New-York to raise funds for their relief; either aid them in resisting the despo tic power that threatens them with destruction or 10 afford some succor to them under the calamtes of defeat and oppression. At that meeting commit, tee was appointed, who will take charge oi wha, may be contributed, and remit such funds to France, to tho care of Gen. LA FAYEFrE, who has engaged to forw ard the same to Poland.
 Shall such an appeal be made in vain to the sons of those whose blood wa:ered and whose arm reared the tree of American Liberty? Shall those who enjoy the full tte cf civil and religious blessings which an un mited freedom gives, withhold pittance of their a. bundant stores from noble and oppressed nation, who are exaustng every and exer,ing every energy to be free? l would not violate the generous feelings of my countrymen with single doubt as to the manner in which they will answer such an appeal
 While as nation we maintain our relations with Russia, to the full extent Of stipulated treaties may wo not, as individuals express regard for another nation, over whom she is attempting to exercise an unjust and oppressive swayf To succor the afflicted -to uphold the oppresscd-and send the voice of en. couragement and the soace of sympathy to those who are struggling to be free--arO unaenable rights of every Americaa citizen.
 To afford an opportunity for the inhabitants of Litchfeid county to contribute for the above named object it proposed that meeting be held in the se- veral towns in said county on the second Monday Of October ne:rt for the purpose of choosing committees m each of said towns to collect donations, to be by them remiited to the New-York committee for them to forward to Poland through the hands of Gen. La Fayene. It is hoped that ihe public will overlook the '"formay of this notice, and that committees will be appointed in every town in the county, and would hope in the state, at the lime above specified, for the furtherance of this noble object.
 Fellow Cizens-Consider that at this moment a nation, once free and independent is bleeding at eve- " pore, in an unequal struggle for liberty. Will no, the expression your synpa.hies and generous feel ings towards them awaken intense zeal iu the sacred cause of freedom, and " nerve for deadle, blow" the arm that is raised to free their country from oppression.

 "Sound Doctrine" moral and political. as we'll as on Religious subjects, should not cease to flow from the press. It is like beams of light from; the sun. which are daily needed. Hence public opinien and sentiments are influenced and corrected. And even where wrong bias and bigotry exist and have been long chershed by false light, rather true darkness which is depraved light, with baIefa beams.
