The senate, by a vote of 27 to 4, have determined that t|iere was no necessity to convene them, and have pass ed resolutions censuring' the Governor— the same were sent to, and are now before tv. Lower House. The discussion will be fenewed to day. The House may not a <rree to the vote of censure, but will anques tiooablv otherwise concur with the Senate.

The vote watt taken last evening at about seven o'clock after warm day's work. The question was put and earned by a vote of 68 to 49 ” fTY.r the RaViu.r,,'u U ;-uh’.ioau j Rarely has tne titune ot uny gentlemai., been so intiuspieiously announced to th people nf this Slate as a candidate for thei sull’uge9, as have tlio«e of Major Men * wether, of Clark, and Judge Longstreet, ol Greene. In the Republican of the 12th tnst. was published a Ic.tvr addressed to the editor of (hit paper, dated Madison Springs, Slli Aug. 1824, from which is made (he folio wing extract. «« Mi Cobb has signified that he will not be a candidate fur Congress at the ensuing election. There is however no danger that the vacancy which will be occasioned bv ttiL circumstanre will remain unfilled, as Major.M<*rriwether of Clark, and Judge LongMreiit nf Gceu County, very prompt ly have tendered their services for the dis charge of «hc <1 title*, nf the appointment.— WV live in ahappy country* where the high est offices in lhegiflofthe people arc always so readily filled, notwithstanding the ardu uus duties appertaining to (hem are *o bur- thensome to the incumbents. In f»c» it is apprehended that there are noi quite ufiices enough in Georgia, to satisfy those who are witling to t.ik^ them ; And that there may be some disturbance in the wigwam on that account.” With the motives of this writer, I have nothing to do, and it is by no means proba ble that he will divulge them. The max im, “do mortuis non nisi booum,* may 6" applied politically as well ns physically. It is much roofe certain, however, that the shades of defunct politicians revisit the scenes of their former achievements than that the ghost* of dead men rise up and *‘clb'»w us from our seats.” In every age there has been some incantation, some spell, by which to lay the wandering spirit of a departed being; but there is no requiem that a vailetli ought with the troublcd,fiiuiog shadow of the bj-e-gone politician. So unprovoked do I deem this attack up on Merriwether and Longstreet, that corn mon justice seems to require a passing no tice of it and of them. WASHINGTON, August 7.

Jf he did, will he state why lie now appears so violent asrainst the Members of the New Tis k Legislature.. Wlm are only pursuing a dictated by himself? Major Merriwelher, has been ad.yanta geously known to the people of this state, for the laM fifteen years in which time he has discharged various and ordoous public duties, both in defence of his country ami in the councils) of the state; and always with credit tn himself, and the approbation of bis fellow citizens. Intelligent, firm, modest and independent, ho has constantly grown upon the Affections and confidence of the public. Brave, chivalric and hnn- otable, his political course has been frank, liberal and dignified. Possessing great worth of character* and superior: powers of mind, his manners are as plain and unos tentatious, as his judgement is clear and lucid. Duly sensible of the legitimate objects of. public services he has in the discharge of his ..official duties, considered the public good paramount to individual political aggrandiz merit. His political principles have been uniformly toe same. He 19 a Republican—not from a love of offive, fur that he has never sought, but be cause, be loves the piunuiples upon WHICH REPUBLICANISM 18 POUNDED. He is now before the people of Georgia, for a seat in Congress,not as is erroneously state ed at his own instigation,but at the instance of a large number of the most respectably and virtuous men in Georgia,- >{ ; . Of Judge Longstreet, less is known, be cause lie has been less in public life, A younger man than Merriwether, he has of course had fewer opportunities of being known. In his lub'ic stations, he has how ever, acquitted himself in a manner highly creditable. Hi* powers as a public spea fcer are acknowledged to be superior. The manner in which he acquitted himself in an argument before the Circuit Court the last winter, in this place; drew from Judge Johnson a high and well merited ejfcoh/ iutm—There can be no doubt if this talent should (as it assnredly will) be assiduously cultivated, that it will yield to; him a rich and lasting lame/ Longstreet is also a republican and is certainly wejl calculated to render efficient services in the National Legislature. He too has become a candid ate for Congress at the instigation of bjs friends. V r FIAT JUSTlCl^B The late Piraces <$“c.—Some of the pa pers, we observe, arc blaming Comm rltire Porter; and the other officers on the West India Station, for allowing of the-recent piracies in that quarto/a d even go ho far as to impute the piracies to tbeir want o r due activity. If we understand the fact! correctly, this is very harsh and unjust treatment.,‘Tne one or two piracies «»f which >ve have lately heard* being all that Itavx taken place tor months, have taken place within the mouths of rivers, where the mis- neurits, watching their oportU iity of ves- ael’s being becalmed,or nenrly so,push out from Rhore in small row boats, complete their nefarious enterprises, and return with their booty, without the possibility' of any United State** vessel seeing them, they making good care to keep snug while the nr rned Vessels ar£ in their neighborhood. I is as impossible fur qur vessels tn deter* the offenders as to p- event the crime t ’hev retire to the country after the commission of if, and are id -ntified with the reBt of the population. The government of Cuba, with every advantage of juri-diction, civil and military, and organized force, and with an earnest wish to r prevent or punish these miscreants, cannot doit flow, then, can ou» Nival Officers, spread over an ocean, filled with a thousand islands, be ex pectod to prevent every case of villany ? The pirates have certainly been driven from the high hcbs by the exertions of A *1 toucan and British cruiZrrs, and are now only heard of in very rare instances, in the bays and rivers, in nook^ and bye- place-, where, as we have said, our cruizofs arc ubsent, and where ootliingbuta perfertpo lice on the shore can prevent or detect them, it is not fair tp blame oar naval of ficers for wHat they cannot control, whilst, in the service of scouring those seas, and convoying our trade, they are submitting to’ cvery'hardship and pri atiop, and running greater .ctual risk of life from the disease- of th • climate, man they would be liable tn in a war with the greatest naval power of the world. I’ is melancholy to think, that, m th‘ -pace of little more, than one short year fifty officers of tir Navy have fallen victims b the severity of this service. One thing more we will whisper in the ear of our frfonds in the commercial cities; some of the vessels which ard plundered, arc -y-tematically engaged in the smuggling trade and fall into their peril by avoiding the open path and the light of the day.
