by their neighbors, can be seen daily among

tho numerous mourners at the altar. We

congratulate them upon their repentence,

world, though born in a foreign land, will' accept the prayers and supplication of these native christians. The Rev. Mr. Smith, the worthy pastor of the church, is doing a good work, and we wish him all success in bis labors, nnd as an act of justice to a faithful servant and zea'ous laborer in the Lord's vineyard, we will state that he denies most emphatically of any connection with the secret, jesuitical Order of the Star Spangled

Banner.

question is, whether liquors are property,

unquestionably unconstitutional. Another section in the bill which I object to, is, it forbids any person selling a less quantity of cider than three gallons, which is to be taken away at the same time. Another objection is, it allows any one to import any liquors he may choose, provided he sells it in the same packages it is imported in.— Now, sir, if I wish to set up a fashionable liquor shop, I will have my liquor imported in gills, half pints, pints or quarts, as may suit my customers, with the custom house marks or brands and sell with impunity under the provisions of this act, and my prediction is, if this act becomes the law of the land, there will be but little liquor imported here in casks or barrels, it will be in small parcels to meet the emergency of this so called Temperance bill.— Another objection is, if the liquor traffic is an evil, of which I have no doubt, why compel the county commissioners to set up liquor shops in every township in the county, which are to be conducted by some man appointed by said Board, the liquors to be sold at 25 per cent, above costs, and the proceeds to be paid into the county Treasury.

Mr. Anthony was opposed to a reconsid^ eration, he thought those gentlemen had

Mr. Suit made a few explanatory remarks

The bill was odious in some of its features, and he was satisfied that it would not meet the approbation of the people. This bill could never be enforced, but he had voted for it in the hope that he roight be mistaken. He asked the Senator from Fountain (Mr. Reynolds,) to withdraw his motion, in order, to allow him to introduce a resolution, which was conceded, and he offered in substance the following resolution:

Resolved, That the House of Representatives be requested to return to the Senate, the Temperance bill.

Mr. Brown hoped the resolution would not prevail. Ho regretted to see a disposition on the part of the Senate to bring it back, now that it had passed. The action of the Senate yesterday was unlooked for and unexampled and how was it done?— by gagging down the opponents of the bill. "How many Senators are here" said he, "that endorsed, before their constituents, the featnres of this bill. I venture to say, not five can be found." He bad the honor of representing as temperate a constituency as any member on this floor, but had this bill been made an issue in the election he should have beaten his opponent 1500 votes. There are several features in this bill that will be declared unconstitutional. He was opposed to calling it back, however, considering such a course inconsistent, now that the House had the bill under consideration.

Mr. Freeland was in favor of the resolution. There were some things in the bill which ho did not like, but if he could not have them corrccted, be would vote for it again.

Mr. Drew said he had felt a great interest in the passage of the bill under consideration. When the bill was first introduced in the Senate, there was a disposition to put it through in about an hour and a half. This was too unceremonious. He did not oppose the bill because his constituency were drinking people—they would favorably compare with any other member's, but he opposed it because it was unconstitutional. It took away the rights of the people. He did not believe their rights were to be struck down here as if they wer«,of no more value than a straw. He did nW bear any ill feeling against any member because he had voted for this bill—he conceded to them the right to act as their sense of duty prompted them but he considered the whole bill an unconstitutional enactment. He would only, however, point out some of the more objectionable features. The bill provided that no man should keep liquors in his own domicil, and gave authority to the officers of the law to search his house. This he thought was not the way to bring about reform.— You might persuade a man, but you cannot drive him. He was aware the Democratic party had been stigmatized as the whiskey party he repudiated it. Bring forward a bill, said he, that was right, and he ventured to say that every Democrat would vote for it. Their motto is "the greatest good the greatest number." There was another clause in the bill which provided that no liquor should be given away.— called on him and he wished to class of wine with him, he must be

There must be some cause for tins remarkable and lamentable state of the public mind on this vital question and even the dullest observer of the events of the last few months could not fail to point out what the cause is.

The thing is impossible. Coldness, indifference, dis* gust follow, and the member is compelled to look for that sympathy outside of tho church which his minister an4 those in hi* catogory can no longer offord him.

The question at the adjournment was on the motion of Mr. Newcomb, to require one hundred and twenty-five dollars worth of bonds to be deposited for every one hundred dollars of notes, as an amendment to the motion of Mr. Landers, requiring one hundred and forty dollars worth of bonds.

After remarks by Mr. Hervey in opposition to the principles of the Free Bank system, and of Mr. Clark of Tippecanoe, in its favor.

Mr. Trusler moved to lay the amendments of Mr. Landers and Mr. Newcomb on the table. Lost, ayes 29, noes 61.

The question being on Mr. Newcomb's amendment, it was decided in the affirmative and as thus amended, Mr. Lander's amendment was adopted. Ayes 71, noes 22.

On motion of Mr. Hillyer, this amendment was so modified, as to require a deposite of only §115 worth of stocks, when all the stockholders were residents of this State and bona fide owners of the Stock.— Ayes 48.

The 9th section wjas amended as to make it unnecessary to protest more than one note or all at the option of the bill-holders but in payment of said notes, no preference to be given to protested, over non protested notes.

On motion of Mr. Murray, the aggregate amount of circulation should not exceed eight millions of dollars, nor the circulation of any one bank more than two hundred thousand dollars.

On motion of Mr. Test, an amendment was adopted, providing that the issues of any bank shall be a legal tender as payment for any debt due it, or any of its stockholders, and also for one year after any stock has been transferred to another.

From the New Albany Daily Ledger.

TIIE PROGRESS OF INFIDELITY. It is a remarkable fact that at no previous period in our national history has infidel sentiments seemed to prevail to so alarming an extent as at the present time. The anniversary of the birth of Tom Paine, the infidel author, has just been celebrated in the principal cities of the Union with greater eclat than ever before, and not, as formerly, privately, secretly, and in the night time, but openly, boldly, and public procession through the streets. There are other evidences, too numerous to recapitulate in detail, of the progress of sceptical sentiments in the public mind. In quarters where, heretofore, we have seen a decent respject paid to religion and its ordinances, we now see infidelity openly and boldly avowed, and the disciples of tho licentious, profligate, ar.d dissipated author of the "Age of Reason" throwing down the gauntlet to the followers of the meek and lowly Saviour of men.

A venerable minister remarked to a friend of ours recently that the Methodist Chureh in Indiana would not regain in .thirty jean the ground it had lost between the months of May and October, 1854.

enough and work hard enough to repair tho great wrong they have committed. Wo hope they ..may succced in reclaiming oil those whom their conduct, a professing ministers of the gospel, may have driven into the ranks oi the sceptics and scoffers. We hope they may pursue such a courso as will show, at each recurring anniversary of Tom Painc's birthday, a smaller and smaller number of votaries to infidelity, til) at last the day and the man shall be forgotten. This happy result, however, will not be accomplished by means of pulpit denunciations of men because of their political views, nor yet by midnight conspiracies to deprive them of the rights conferred upon them by the constitution and thelaws. Let them rather follow tho teachings of Jesua than the example of Cromwell.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Nothing shows more clearly, the folly and weakness of Fusion, than the slow and bungling progress of the lower House, where the energy of an industrious minority is paralized by a hesitating, incoherent majority. We do not like to be considered inquisitive, but we ask, in all candor, what has the House of Representatives done?—Has it reformed the bank law? Has it amended our loose and almost worthless school legislation? Has it done anything towards redeeming the pledges of the members, when they were candidates before the people? Absolutely nothing of primary importance has yet been accomplished. And it must be borne in mind that the responsibility rests almost entirely upon tho majority the Democrats in the Houae are ready to take hold and finish the business of the session in two weeks, but they cannot move alone.

Let it be remembered that every day lost in idleness or irrelevcnt discussion, is six or seven hundred dollars out of the pockets of tax payers of the State. Saying nothing about the immense losses consequent upon the depreciation of Free Bank paper. All in all it may be safely estimated that the people of the State are losing about four thousand dollars per day. The account would stand about as follows:

Fusion Expenses— Trip to Richmond, 88,000 Abolition discussions, 16,000 Senatorial question, 25,000

Total, 829,000 Here we havo nearly thirty thousand dollars already extended upon these threo items. Is it not time for us to wake up, and see what we are about. The Senate clears its files every day—the House, never or at best seldom.—State Sentinel. ,.
