IRISHMEN. There are many sad tales told on
the Irish who emigrate to I ho new world, among
which we find the lollowine:
An old Irishman went out hunting rabbits, and
fell in with a jackass which he instantly shot. Upon
j returning home he exclaimed '-Och! be the powers.

We are solemnly charged with duties the most
grave and important, intimately connected with the
liberties ot the citizens, and the prosperity oi the State. And well may we feel the weight of much
responsibility, when on entering upon these duties,
we lilt our hands to heaven and call the searcher ot all hearts to witness the purity of our intentions, and the manner in which we shall continue to discharge them. It would be ungrateful in me'to pass byrwithout
notice, on this occasion, the highly flattering circumstances in which 1 have been called to the station before me. The approving and selecting voice
of our fellow citizens, is no less cheering and con
soling to the man in civil employments, than to the soldier who has fought and bled for the liberties of
his country. It is as necessary for the one as for the other. But in a time of great political discord and strife, both in regard to the administration of the General Government and that of the State, to be called by so

Young Davy Crocht lt. A son of tho lato honest i
and eccentric Davy Crockett of Tennessee, was a member of the cxta session of Congress, and took occasion to show that he (like his father) possesses talent for pointed sarcasm, and can turn an opponent into ridicule without much trouble. The editor of the New Voik Express, gives tho following account of this debut in the House of Representatives : "Young Crockett, the youngest member of the House, son of Davy, and successor of Adam Huntsman, followed in the discussion. His speech was short, and its brevity and pertinancc were among its merits. Two or three points were exceedingly w ell put. Duncan, of Cincinnati, tho most zealous partizan in the House, w ho is considered a very clever man in his way, said, us you may remember some days since, that there was no pressure in the country, at least none amonff his constituents.
Young Crockett contended that there was a pressure, and severe distress in all sections of the country Ihe section of (he honorable gentleman from Ohio excepted, which stood solitary awl alone. Mr. C. said that he had hoped w hen Mr. Van Purcn promised to w alk in the footsteps of his predecessor, he wouldto use a w estern phrase take a back tack. The President's message, Mr. C. said in relation to the distress of the country, remaunled hint of the case of the afflicted Job. His sufferings, like thoso of our country, were meat and Fcvere. Mr. Van Hu
ron had said to the country w hat Job's wife said to the suffering Job, "curse God and die!' This was the spirit of the President's message to Congress curse your country and your country's institutions and go home." Licuf. tJoYcriaoi Hillis INAtNJERAL ADDRESS. Gentlemen of the Senate: On an occasion like the present, when ahout to enter on tho duties of an important ofiiee, as well upon, to i no a new theatre of services and of public life, usage and custom would seem to require of me the form of an add i ess to the body over which I am
called to preside ; and were it not that usage and custom, rather than utility, I should certainly have contented myself with entering instantly upon the discharge of my tudcial duties, instead of detaining
you a single moment with any remarks of mine, which I am sum w ill poorly repay the Senato or
the public lor the tunc spent muttering them. It would be hypocrisy in mo to assumo a stoical indiilLicnce to the circumstances which surround
me to pretend to feel that w hich 1 do not feel, a competency to the discharge of the duties assigned me. The chair of the Senate ha3 often been tilled by able and accomplished presiding officers, men who have discharged its duties in a manner
highly creditable to themselves and tho btate, with a dignity and competency to which I would aspire, but shall not hope to attain. Encouraged, however, by the indulgent character of the body, its perfect
understanding of ihe duties of the chair, as well as
its ow n duties, and Us known character for order
and decorum, I shall with some degree of confidence
enter upon the duties beforo me, knowing that I shall be aided and sustained by your kindness and intelligence. The duties of the Senato are more
diversified than those of any other department or appendage of the government. They are in their
advisory powers, over appointments which have of
lato years become more numerous than formerly,
executive in their character, and in the articles of
impeachments, the Senate are called to exercise the
highest judicial authority. This body then partakes
in its character, of all tho three Departments of the Government Legislative, Executive, and Judicial. J Ne
tinistung in me fceoricst posnwc time, uic vt r s that w ill be the nvt productive, and that will re licve the State from charge, progressing, however, with all, in the observance of that public faith,
which our acts anil our legislation nave in.retotoie inspired. There ate, it Us true, among us., a la "go number of our citizens, men cf uiup.iejt'onod integrity and intelligence, w ho loiik toour system of improvements a? an evil of great magnitude, as too hca) to be borne one from w hich wo, shall never see ourselves rcica cd, and which will transmit to posterity a debt w hit h the present generation will tic unable to pay. It is oar duty to icspect these opinion and these fi ats, and indecd,to participate in them no faratiiay be required by .the ttj icle:t caution and caic. This, however, is the g!oomy',side of the picture, and though caution is always the parent of sccuri y, yet when we look to the history of such public works as we have undertaken, and to the condition of the neighboringjstates vv htchfj have4 conducted them, wc sec none of the evils fancied. e see a tide of unexampled prosperity rolling in upon them, and bearing them alotut; vv ith it to stiil higher elevation of greatness atidj prosperity. We sc m itlier states w ho have gone before us in this path of enterprise and industry, outstripping their neighbors in commerce and Jin wealth,' and in every thing which marks the way of national grcatness'Jn a ate. Let us. not then be discouraged by the magnitude of our undei takings, but in the true spirit o"
chiva!rv"in'ss lorvvard, and the honor wo shall
achieve will bo projxirtionate to tho obstacles we have overcome, and the exlentof that we may have accomplished. A few years w ill complete the Wabash and Erie canal, and we shall have an inland navigation uniting the Mississippi and the northern
Lakes a work more useful, more splendid and i -portant than any other on tho American coutinen' ;
a work appropropriatcly our ow n, ami to he achieved by no other hand, .because it is chiefly J oca ted within our border, and could bo located no where else. This work cannot fail to le highly !onoficial & creditable to the state, and aided as we hav e been
by the General Government in the construction t f
this primary work, it can nev er bo classed among those which have been burdensome to the state. The time, too, cannot bo far distant w hen wo shall have an easy communication between the Ohio Kivcr and Lake Michigan by means of a KailroaJ or Turnpike, as well as the completion of many other w orks of inueh'importaneo contemplated by
our Legislature on this subject. Our state is increasing with unparalleled rapidity in population and wealth. We are already ample in our resources; rich in the hcalthlulness of our soil and our productions; in tho national highways of commerce, the navigation of our rivers, and richer still in ihe labor, industry, and enterprise of our intelligent and. virtuous population. In political power we shall probably at the census of ltl lO take the fifth rank among the States. Let us then improve the advantages we have. Let us nurture A: cherish our resources. Let us vie with each other only for tho public good. Let our'combinations be to promote the best interests of the state; and our polar star the rising greatness of Indiana. Every view we can take of our present condition and fur
ther prosperity enlarges our conception of the value
of our I'edoral Union. Ihe I nam dissolved and what would be Ihe condition of these States? They w ould be a group of proud and tow ering Sovereignties, acknow ledging no superiors, bound by no com
mon interests, having no arbiter of rights, but each
ready to draw tho sword in defence of its own, or if ambition should prevail, to usurp those of a rival
Tho Slates on the seaboard would shut out those, of
the interior from all participation in foreign commerce. They would proudly call the ocean their
own, and levy heavy contributions on tho "com
merce among tho States." Louisiana would shut us out from the Gulf of Mexico, uud New York and Pennsylvania would cut us off in that section from tho sea. We should not even have the right guaranted by former treaty with Spain, of a placoof depositcatNcw Orleans. Let us cling then to the Union of the States as tho anchor of our hopo both for the pcaceand prosperity of our country.
