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.

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.

Dcn ’ nis L. Ryan, Esq. called for the reading of the ’ ! notice under winch the meeting had assembled. K Maj.

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.

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.'

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.

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.
