E D AH WAII,
SAJUSDAiT, March 1, 1334.
Congress has been in now nearly
three months and nothing of me slightest Hnpm
tance to the country has been done. 1 lie
Parties seem to have arrayed themselves a
nainst each other upon the D.-postte question
and have continued hitherto, the contest, how
long it will last tto one can tell, as tar from the
scene of strifa as we are. .
The friend of the Union may sec in inis dis
cussion that this is a struggle against atM lot
the administration, and, too, that the old Lod
er,disis, Bulk men and Nullifteis, have collud
ed for’the purpose of b; caking down General
Jackson; not for the purpose of bench mg the
country, but that the eld Hero may fall before
their combined opposition. It they have an ulte
rior object it is, that upon the prostration of
General Jackson, the principal obstruction to
the accomplishment, of their designs, they may
riot and revel on the libetties oi die country;
this miy not be the object of all the conspira
tors but that it i ; 'he view of Calhoun and his
followers, we verily
The contest has been long, and no great
change Las been produced cither way, not
enough to produce a result, at all I > be feared.
Let the people hold on to then President and
sustain him and our liberties are yet secure.
MR. FORSYTH AND MR. KING.
AVe 'direct our readers to extracts that wdl
Le found in this days paper, relative to our Se
nators in Congress. Georgia has every right
to feel proud of her representatives in the Se
nate ofthe United States.
Mr. Forsyth’s speech upon ths Deposite ;
question seems to have icvitted the attention of
“the giddv, the gay, the thoughtful and the j
thoughtless.” For oiitorical ability he now
Biands pre-eminent in that body.
Our other worthy servitor, Mi. King, occu
pies a stand, truly enviable, for a new member. I
It is no second rate man, now-ol'div’s, that can I
arrive to the eminence ho has in public 1 pmion. I
Ji was said by the opposition in Georgia, th o <
Mr. Kmg was unknown and possessed hut or- ;
dinar} talents, bin it app • i’s lira’ the ability of;
Mr. Webster is biotir'fit in-o 1 equisit ion <1- I
gains! him. If Mr. Webster is nothing else in j
the cs’im itimi ofx-.unc, all will admit him to be
a judge of merit and (Merits; Ins compliment to j
Mr. King in h':j reply to that gentleman, is ;
quite evidence enough to show that Mr. King
possesses talents of the fust older.
No doubt the Niliiifiers of Georgia, when
they formed the siege of the I berties ofthe
people, bv adopting the name of Kighls
Association" com hid 'd th.it all those imtivi
du ds as the Troup party that had come foi
V'nd as Union moti, would fail into then ranks, 1
without delay. How egregriouslv mistaken
they must be. Cti-ob mi comity and Warren
county, have for a number of ye rs, unitb< mlv
so-'aitn d lh.-ir chaiac'ers as Tronp conniies, I
but see how opposed they both are to Nnlbfi
c ition, whatever garb or name it may assume!
We publish to-day the proc mdinys in W irren
ami recommend hem to the attentive peius dos
our readers. VVe esteem these things as strong i
evidences of the goodinis of our cause, the
Cause of Libert'.’.
We understand tha’ large number? of the
Cmoll“d Cherokees are now collecting at th‘
Agency, preparatory to their removal west of
the Mississippi. We declare it as our settled
opinion, that it nothing /•'»s or does occur to
retard enrolment and emigration, tha' in the

NOTICE.
“The citizens of Warren county, friendly to
I i State Rights, are requested to assemble at the
■ , Court H oitse, W iirenton, on Tuesday the llth
3 inst. at 12 o’clock, for the purpose of consider-
* ing the practicability and utdi'.y of organizing a
1 , Slate Rights Association.
' j Feb. ill, 183 1,”
3 I On motion of Daniel Dennis, Esq. the
'meeting was organised by calling Di. Henry
Lockheart to the Chair, and the appointment
! 1 of Maj. Gray /A. Chandler, Secretary. Dcn
’ nis L. Ryan, Esq. called for the reading of the
’ ! notice under winch the meeting had assembled.
K Maj. Chandler, by request, explained tho ob
’ i joct ofthe meeting, lie was followed by Mr.
1 Ry an, who dissented to the “utility” of such as-
• socialions, and read from a paper, which ho as
-1 ’ terwards offered to tho meeting byway of stib-
1 ' sliiute, 'he reasons for such dissent. Ail anni- 1
j mated debate ensued, in which Dr. George K. .
' Holloway, John G. Winter, Thom as Gibson, i
IA. Muncrief, Thomas Neal and Dennis L.
. Ryan, dissented to the “utility” of such asso- ‘
J elutions—and M. j. Gray A. Chandler, John .
j ilairis, Mi-lmond M. Butt, Solomon Locket, .
Jethro Darden, Eltas Wilson and Jeremiah .
Butt,senr. advocated the formation of an asso- j
I ciation. /
! Maj. Chandler offered the following rosolu-
J lions:—
! Tbit we consider it expedient
' that a State Rights’ /Association should be
.1 formed in the County of Warren, for the pnr-
I pose ol promulgating and advancing the politi
' c d doctrines which were advocated by' J< ffer
! son and Madison, in ’9B and 99 —mid so tri
umphamly mimtaincd in Georgia by Gov.
Troup, in the years 1825, ’6 and ’7.
It-solved, That be and they tire
hereby appointed, by the Chairman, a com
; mittee to draft a Constitution for the govern-
I mi nt of said association.
I llcs. hKd, Thai this meeting adjourn to the
j day ol next.
Dennis L. Ryan, Esq. offered the following
as a suosiimie:—
; We, “Cidzens of Warten County, friendly 1
■to State Rigliis,” and having witli George M. 1
I Troup, an “emlvaud uniform disrelish of the ; ;
i doctrine of Nutkfic ".ion, as maintained by the 1
' ruling part}' it> a sister State,” diss<m! to the ; 1
I “utility of organizing a State Rights Associa- 1
’ lion.”
Because we believe the Rights of the State ’
are much safer in the hands of the Sovereign 1
People of die S' He, dian under the guardian-
..I. .. C . ... . 1 .. . .. . : •. . ’ f
slop of any i hihated associations wnatever.
I Because, such organization would be an a
vow 1 of om surrender of individual independ
ence as fee citizens, and lead to an adhesion
to a genet d otgae 7, lion wi’h a central head—
J that head, so organized, would be. the source of
I all the party operations—the leaders in the
I County organizations, their insti uments---their
i adherents at large themeie machinery of party.
I Because such oigamza:ton would inevitably
I produce a couieer organiz. ! tion-- the one aux
iliary to St 1:0 Repins and ?4idlificatioli, an:! the
oth r to State Rights and Union.
Because, hitherto the County of Warren lias
bi eu firm and consistent in her Slue Rights
I course, and iinv/aveiinglj sustained State Rigliis
i doctrines as successfully carried out by Geor- !
gia.
B cause, we are not conscious cf such a dis
-1 position in the ci izens of Warren, if any in
-1 deed exis.s, to depart from these doctrines, as
j will justify, tit this time, such an organization
ito • nr? the prevalency and permanency of
State Rights doctrines.
- Because, wo venerate the counsels of the
11 tier of our conn ry, ’he immortal W -shiag-
1 ton, and (he Apostle >f Liberty and founder of
onr civil involution ol 1801, Thomas Jefferson,
not. to encourage the spirit of parly and the
i organiz ition of such association; more especial-
I iy, when we vir w th 'developments in an ad
joining “sister St tie,” as giving 'he stamp of
prophi cy to the “F irewell Address to the
. l’< ople of di.' United S' >tes.”
I’ec.mse, we desire to “live peaceably with
; all men”—considering, with him whom both
of ti>e parties in Georgia cl om as their politic ;!
j apostle, Thomas J'-ff rsnn, that c/ cry r/iycr
. (ovr of opinion is mt a diircrence in prim’tdc--
i and most sincerely believing “fiction is rhe
madness of the many for the benefit of the
few ”
• ■ .. ...

oilier our sacred honor, to counteract, by all i

John Harris, Esq. < Hered the following as
an 'tddilioi d resolution;- -
Rrgoli' d, riiat we approve of the doctrines
of S ,’e R hfs as taught and maintained bv
Joffeison, M l sin, and our patriotic Troup,
, and th i we dm nine • the principles of the ’’ o

John G. Winter then offered the following
as a substitute forth? whole;

dangerous to the peace of the good citizens of
th’? county, to fo-u> anv polic d Association.
The question vv s taken on Mr. Winter’s re
solution, which was adopted bv the meeting,
on a counting of those present, by a majoiity
of nearly three to one.
On motion of Mr. Ryan the meeting ad

SEN ATOP, KING.
T o following iccountofihe debut of the

of a leper to rhe editors of the Richmond En

Southern speakers who had attributed the fall
in the pi ice of cotton to the removal of the de
posites.* Tho reply was ofi’-liand, without

: thread of his argumi nt, or dealing a blow a
miss. 11 was one of tl;e clearest, closest, and
j most powerful pieces of reasoning, which the

: equally remarkable for correct, expanded views
and accurate, mince details. He cut up by
j tb.e roots, and hung up before a burning sun,
j to wither and die, the whole class of speeches
which ascribed the fall in the price of cotton
;to (he removal,of the deposites. Those who
j had brought in dial argument did not rise to

jed Ins sense in complimenting ’.be m.w Senate.'

■ luted the Senate upon such an acquisition to its

I dedwell with his milter; copious and select
'language; clear and modulated voice; natural
j gestures; flexible features, and an unassuming
I self-possession. []? is one of ihe youngest

I MR. FORSYTH OF GEORGIA.
, In the remarks winch this gentleman made
in the Senate on Monday, there were some
declarations upon which the community should
ponder, when the politics, ihe standing and
chai acter of the Senate are considered. We
undeistood him to say that he would to-morrow,
vote for a recharter of the U. S. Bank with
modifications—that a National Bank was the 1
only me ms of restoring! the currency—that he {
should i.ol have advised a removal of ihe do-!
posiles—that the remarks which were made of |
the power and influence of the Bank were !
exaggerated. These are honest comparisons. <
We esteem them the more, because they come i
from 7 quarter, where if such sentiments are
entertained, it is unusual 10 avow them.
Tomonow Mr. Forsyili would vote for a
recharter of the Bank with moddications! Mr. j
Forsyth having long been in the public coun-J
oils of the coumry, undoubtedly secs dm neces
sity of such an institution, and in order ton
void Hie dei av'nt which must iuevii >b!y
fall upon the currency, lie s <vs In- is willmg i
to sacrifice party associations in out lie good. I
Again, he m iinfesis a e imlo- mmsti d m hese |

Mr. Clay said, a few days since, in the Scn
. ate (hat the country was twelve months ago,
.lin a condition of unexampled prosperity. It
wdl be recollected that this was after Andrew
. Jackson had boon President for nctily four
? years, and after the country had, according to
' the statement of his opponents, been several :
j times ruined.
They have now got up another ruin, which '
will end like all the previous one's have done, 1
in showing the country to be more prosperous,
and the t ights of the people more secure than
they have ever been before. How fortunate
it is for us that the ruining of ihe country by j
he President has always such a happy termina
tion.— Li dt. Hep.
THE FLAG.
The originators of tlie meeting on Saturday
1 were not content with that glorious standard
i which bears aloft the “stars and stripes of the
■ Union,” but had a banner painted specially
I for the occasion. It was the arms of the Sime, ,
; and there were her three pillars, “wisdom, jus
; lice and moderation,” and there was the guard
with his drawn swotd defending them. Bulat ,
! the foot of these there was represented a rep- j
tile, and some division of opinion existed ns to !
what it was. Same said it was an Alligator, ;
j some a Boa Constrictor; others, again smd
it was the Rattlesnake. We thought it 100 Urge
for (he latter, as it appeared twice as large
round the body, us the guard at tho foot ofthe
' pillms, and we came to the conclusion ih it it
! was a symbolical picture, rt'presemmg
cation under ihe shape of an ANACONDA,
|iK.< about to devour, “Wisdom, Justice and
1M ud elalio n. ” Georgian.
THE TEST OATH. -
i The cxci.eim nt on me subject of the Test ■
Ooh seen s 10 be dady gaihering strength in ,
’ liic upper part of the S ate. Fom the pro- '
coed mgs of :he public meetings, which we pub- :

j followed t;.e example of Greenville and Spar
’ 1 mburgh, and that the tyranny ofthe. Miiiitary
‘ B ii is Itkeiy 10 meet wi h the most determined
re§is ance. A letter from Chester District,
dated the 2d inst. gives a similar account of
popular feeling in tha qaaiter. It says: “You

J feelings and course ofac i.m; which ” ill be a
I determination not to t ike the oath, nor obey
I any officer that wdl take it. This detmmini
tion wdl be supported with their rifles.” We
earnestly hope that before ihed iy of’rial ar
iives, a remedy, at once constitutional and
j peaceful, wdl be found fir this atp mpted imer
'fereiM’c with the freedom of opinion, and the
; ' ignis of conscience.

TRUTH IS POWER-
• Some men sav that, “wealth is power,” and
some that “knowledge is power,” above them ;
di, I would assert that “truth is power.”—
\V» l ii cannot purchase—talent cannot refute
—knowledge cannot overreach—authority can
iio’ si!-nee her, they all, like Felix, tremble at
her presence. Fling her in the most tremend
ous billows of popular commotion, cast her in
he seven-fold heated furnace of the tyrant’s
wr th; she mounts aloft in the ark upon the
summit of lite deluge; she walks with the Son
of (rod untouched, though the confl i'ration. —

When wealth, and talent, and knowledge, and
authority; whim earth, and heaven itself, shall

ages, lie died of a consumption and asthma
ai ihe age of sixty-ihree.
It is ri lited of him that during his last se
vere illness, his mind being clear and uncloud
ed, he did not rel ix from bis accustomed litera
ry exercises. The evening of his death he
spent in translating die Gospel of St. John into
die S.ixmi language. At length his amanuensis
said, “There rem tins hut one chapter, but it
seems very irksome to you to speak.”
“•')h no,” said the venerable Bede, “it is not
difficult. Tike a pen, dip it in the ink, and
write as fast us you can, I have no lime to
lose.”
Sometime after this, the young mm who
wrote for him said, “There is now, master, but
one son once wanting.” Upon which, the dy
ing hade him write quick. Soon after, tho
vounu m m said, “It is now done.” To which
! Bede replied, “Well hast limn said the truth—•
jit is now done. Take up my head between
, your bauds, and lift me—because it pleases me
; much to sit over against ihe place where 1 was
wont to pray, and where, now sitting, I may
yet invoke my father.”
IPs wishes wore gratified, and being STyited
according to his desire, upon the floor’of his
cell, Im said “glory be io the Father, the Son,

word he immediately expired.— Lowell Jour.

At a camp meeting, a number of females
coniinued standing on the benches, not with
, standing frequent hints from the minister to sit
down. A reverend old gentleman, noted lor
his dry good humour, arose and'said: “I think
‘ if the ladies standing on the benches, knew
they have holes in their stockings, they would
sit down.” 'j’lm address hud the desired effect.,
there was an immediate sinking into their seats’
A young minister, standing by him, and blush’*

their stockings, I’d like to know how they
would get them on?”
