Resolved, That while this General Assembly does not' approve the course pursued by the Presi dent of the United States, iri rclationfto the remo val of the public Deposites from the Bank of the United States, it regards many of the votes of tlie Hon. Willie P. Mangum, one of the Senators from this State, in the Congress of the United States, as evincing a feeling of hostility to the Adminis tration of the present Chief Magistrate, wholly in compatible with a correct discharge of his duty, as a Representative of this State, and particularly so, his vote in favor of the Resolution declaring that the President in his late Executive Proceedings in relation f the public Revenue, had assumed upon himself authority aud power not conferred by the Constitution, but in derogation of both."

It announce, that France is interesting, the Legislative Cham bers had been summoned by the King to assemble on the 1st of December, which is nearly a month earlier than the day to which they stood adjourned. As the President's Message cannot have reach ed Paris until some three or four weeks after the meeting of the Chambers, it is not beyond hope that the. appropriation to fulfil the treaty with the United States will have. been made before the arrival of the Message. The character of the jiew Ministry may be presumed to favor such a hope, as some of its members, we have reason to believe are warm friends of our country. General Bernard's good feelings we can count upon with out' hesitation; and M. Dk Bresson, the new Minister ol Foreign Affairs, not only resided a considerable time in the Uni ted $tates, but connected himself by marriage with one of oAir most respecta ble' families. As we have already had occasion to intimate, however, these gen tlemen will not, be therefore at aidless zafclous Frenchmen, in case of serious coUision between the United States an'd France. It is stated that the earlier assembling of the Chambers was, yielded by the King to the urgent solicitations of our Minister Mr. Livingston. We should not be surprised to find that 'Mr- L. had received a private intimation f the me nacing language which the Message would hold towards France, and there fore, as the only chance of obtaining pay ment, exerted himself to procure an ear lier convocation of the Chambers, in the hope of getting the appropriation passed before the arrival of the Message should postpone, if not totally defeat, the mea sure. Should Mr. Livingston have succeeded, as we most ardently hope he may, he will have added, to his titles to public respect for the goad he has done, an unquestionable claim to the gratitude of his country for the evils which he will have averted from it. Nat. Intelligencer. THE &KG1STEK. It AJLEIOII, K. C. TUESDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1834. New Year. Who can see a new year open upon him vithout being better for the prospect without making sundry wise re flections (for any reflections on this subject must be comparatively wise ones) on the step ie is about to take towards the goal of his being ? Every first of January that we arrive at is an imaginary mile-stone on the turnpike track of human life at once a resting place for thought and meditation, ard a starting point for fresh exertion in the performance of our journey. The man who I does not at least propose to himself to be better this year than he was the last, must be either very; good or very bad indeed. And only to propose to be better, is some thing ; if nothing else, it is an acknowledg ment of our need to be so which is the first step towards amendment. But in fact to propose to.one's self to do well, is in some sort to do well, positively ; for there is no such thing as a stationary point in human endeavors. He who is not worse to-day, than he was yesterday,: is better .; and he who is not better, is worse. The very name of January from Janus two-faced " looking before and after" indicates the reflective propensities which she encoura ges, and which, when duly exercised, can not fail to lead to good. Whig Associations. -The recommenda tion of "Sydney" in the last Register, to the opponents of the present mad Adminis tration to form State Bight Societies or fill ig. Associations, deserves the serious consideration of every individual who val ues (he, permanency of our Republican In stitutions. We believe it is the only effec tual way of counteracting the' baleful influ ence of the venal Presses which are noiv ramified through the country. It is by ha ving the control of funds, that our adversa ries are enabled to arrange all their plans so successfully. Let those vyho understand, and wjio place a proper estimate upon the principles on which the liberties of this coun try are based, create a fund for the dissem ination oT sound political information among thepeoje, the common, well meauiiig clas ses of our country, who only err from the want of necessary light to guide them in the paths of political wisdom which their. tamers. trod.
