been conducted in so ferocious a manner, that neither of them can now carry the State; because Cass men and Buchanan men can only agree on a third candidate— equally far removed from the two extremities of faction. Buell a man is Judge Douglas, who. I am informed by Senators and Members, could certainly carry Pennsylvania, if nominated, even against Scott, which is alto-

gether impossible for Mr. Buchanan.

The indications throughout the country are pointing to a new man who shall instil fresh vigor and energy into our ranks. Young Democraey, led by the little Giant of the West can do it; and none of the men who have been thirty years before the people and exhausted, can. The idea of throwing Cass overboard, and manufacturing a new candidate for the Presidency out of Gen. Butler, is tantamount in my humble opinion to turning an old coal inside out, in lieu of getting a new one. Col. Benton has been here since Saturday in close counsel with Francis P. Blair. Both arc working hard to get Gen. Butler on the track; but it won’t answer. Even the Kossuth address of Mr. Blair (which was not

I went out in a democratic way. and when I arrived there I had the pleasure to find a* democratic population. 1 found that on tho Paeiflo side of the mountains democracy prevailed and flourished. And when this country was tossed by the tempest of sectional strife and agitation—when we saw the illustrious patriot before me, (Gen. Cass.) and Douglas, Clay, llcuslon. Webster, and other friends of tbe country, regardless of political prejudices, struggling to bring about a com prom iso of Hk* exciting questions, tho united prayer of tho people of Oregon went up to Heaven that their labors would be crowned with •ui-uess and tho Union preserved.

Butler by the company he keeps. Kossuth left for Annapolis, where he will stay but a dav, and thence proceed to Harrisburg, Pa. Thence he will go West, to St. Louis, and down the Mississippi to New Orleans. It is not true, ns stated in the New York prints, that Henry Clay has written a letter, expressing his preference of Gen. Cass for the Presidency in 1853.

On motioa of Mr. Emerson, the order of business was suspended tu take up a message bum the House anday at ten o'clock. Tho resolution was reciprocated. Keports from Committeu. • By Mr. Mhlikeu, from the committee on temperance, in adeerdaneia with tbe petitions of orer 23,0«0 e it scans of Indiana, which bad been referred to said committee, a bit! te suppress tippling ho uses, and -providing' fi sensing damages gainst tkoae who sell or give away mtottkeating liquors, aad tofoalmg oil laws raafiistihg with its provisions. The bill prohibits the granting of license to sell iutgxicatiog liquors, except for mechanical or medical purposes, and provides for assessing fines on those selling or giving away such liquors to minors, and to all other persons to he drank about tbe bouse or out-houses where itioooM: For the firs>t offence $10; second $20; third $40; fourth $8d ; fifth, aad all subsequent offimsss $100, and the offender to stood committed natil the fines are paid or replevied. It also provides that the wife and all others injured by the sale of intoxicating liquors, may maintain an action against the vender who furnished the liquor that caused such damage. Mr. Goodman, from tbe minority of the temperance committee, made an adverse report. The report coats nds that the btll ia in advance of public opinion, and that moral and not legal suasion ia the proper means to advance tbe temperance reform. Mr. Milliken desired to know kow Senators judged of public sentiment. In tbe House and Senate there had Been presented at the present session petitions sskmg for just such a law as this signed by over 50,000 citizens of Indiana, and not a single remonstrance. Surely if public sentiment were iu opposition to this measure, we should have had some remonstrances against a measure for which there were so many petitioners. Mr. Goodman replied, and contended that the bill introduced by tbe majority of tbe committee was more stringent than tbe petitioners asked for. By Mr. Walker, from a select committee, returning a bill to change the time of holding courts in the 8th jadictal circuit, with amendments, asking iu passage. Concurred in. Resolutions Introduced. By Mr. Reid, to lay on the table of the Lt. Governor a copy of every bill printed by order of the Senate. Adopted. By Mr. Reid, that the committee on finance inquire into the propriety as well as necessity of amending and framing the law for the assessment and taxation ot personal and real property, so that no property be twice listed or taxed, but that the same should be assessed on actual property, allowing the debts of the tax-payer to be deduct^! from the property as well as debts. Adopted. m Bill* Introduced and Read First Time. By Mr. Delavan, defining the duties of county treasurers. The joint resolution in relation to certain articles taken from the Cathedrals in Mexico, again came up on iu second reading. > Mr. Emerson moved to postpone its consideration and make it the special order of tbe day every day after the files were gone through vrith until it should be disposed

of.

Mr. Miller moved to amend so as to make it the special order of the day for every day at 6 o’clock, P. M. Lo*t. Mr. Emerson advocated the propriety of his motion in a few remarks. Mr. Holloway said he hoped the time of the Senate would not be taken up further iu considering this resolution. He hoped it would be disposed of now. But while he was up he would make an explanation which might save some trouble hereafter. His remarks here on the responsibility of tbe Government in the Mexican war—on the crimes which that war had engendered— were either misunderstood or misrepresented by the President of the Senate on this floor; and to prevent this misrepresentation or misunderstanding going further, as he understood the President was preparing his speech for publication in the Sentinel.ke would here most distinctly and emphatically declare that be neither held nor meant to be uoderstiwxf tffat our army in Mexico, or during any former wars, were legally or morally responsible for the blood that was shed, for the misery and woe which followed the devastating tread of the grim-vis-at:ed monster, war. But on the other hand that responsibility, for nil the horrors of war, and for the untold misery, the horrid and revolting crimes incident to and growing out of war, rested upon the respected governments declaring and prosecuting war. He wished tbe President of the Senate to take notice of this. He disclaimed any other interpretation of his remarks, as contrary to the opinions he held, and consequently false. As to the clamors raised against those who believed all wars were unholy, and a high crime in the sight of God, be only had to say that in entertaining such a belief, be found himself greatly surpassed by tbe great leader of the Democratic party in this State, Robert Dale Owen. He had proclaimed that the Bible was false, or Washington and his compatriots are in hell. Mr. H. said he never entertained such a horrid thought as this. But it was entertained by the leader of the democratic party—bone of your bone, Mr. President, flesh of your flesh in the great political party of which you are' a member. Senators say that I ought not tu attack the opinions of a man who is not here to defend himself. Yet. you, Mr. President, yes, you have descended from your seat there, and on this floor arraigned the opinions of Thomas Corwin on this subject who is not here to defend himself, and denounced them as infamous aad bv every other opprobrious epithet known to our language. To off-set this course of your party here, Mr. President, I have cited you to a declaration of the great apostle of Democracy of Indiana, proving either that the Bible is a lie or Washington and all the immortal names inscribed upon tbe Declaration of Independence, trith our fathers who perilled their lives upon the battle fields of the Revolution, are now in hell. Mr. Holloway said he never made the assertion that those who fell ia bottle in compliance with the requisition of government, “ filled a lelon’s grave,” es charged by the President of the Senate on this floor .and he hoped the charge would not again be repeated here or elsewhere. A message was received from the House reguesting the Senate to attend in the Hall, instanter, for the purpose of electing two Commissioners of tbe Insane Asylum; which wan reciprocated, and the Senate proceeded to the Hall of the House, when lioth Houses went into the election, which resulted in the choice of Stephen S. Major and Samuel Grimes. When tbe Senate returned to their Chamber, the discussion on Mr. Holloway’s joint resolution was resum-

ed.

Mr. Hanna replied to Mr. Holloway. He repelled the charge that the democrats were responsible for the waste of time io this discussion. He referred to the previous course of the Senator from Wayne, and said that he had been in the habit almost every winter since he had been in the Senate of introducing into tbe Senate fire-brands of a similar character to this. He believed they were introduced expressly for the purpose of creating dissension. He instanced tbe case of a bill introduced several years since by Mr. Holloway, to permit negroes aad muiattoes to testify ia cases where white men were parties. The democrats proposed to make a local law of it aad confine its provisions to the county of Wayne, and then that Senator backed water and voted against bis own bit!. Mr. Hanna then proceeded at some length to review the circumstances preceding and attending tbe annexation of Texaa. and to defend the policy of the democratic party ia relation to tbst mea. Mr. Secrest said he thought no good could result from the discussion of those facts which bad become matters of history. From the manner in which Bits discussion bad beeneondeeted, it seems that the parties were endeavoring to find matter of repsearh against each other rather than te neat eh for the truth. He did net wish to disenea any matters relating to the annexation of Texas or the Mexican War. They were matters of history, and our people ware all well acquainted vrith them. He rose for the purpose of replying' to some remarks made hy the Sana tor from Wayne, in relation to a distinguished citizen of this State, not a member of the Senate, and who had no right and no opportunity to defend himself in thia Senate, agasutt the charges of the Senator. (Hera Mr. Holloway interrupted Mr. S. and psked him if he had mentioned any absent peraon’annme in this discussion until the Fresideat of the Senate had denounced Mr. Thomas Gorwta.) Mr. Secrest said be had nothing to do with that. If the President of the Senate dad wrong, it was no defence of Mr. Hollo ■any’*

tiea ia tke United States, aad hia pledge of life aad bcaor should not be regarded by the Senate, as the Senator maaomdrntif ttm^nek axtaied to act with discretion. Mr. 8. raid the Senator from Wayne had wantonly misrepresented aad garbled the position and language of Mr. Owen. The discussion in which Mr. Owen was engaged when hn uttered the language which the Senator frftmWhtne pretended to quote thin morning, did Dftt involve the truth or fmlsity of the Scriptures or tbe

TV dis—mnu —hnd some twenty

years ago, aad was whether a people had the eight according to tke laws of God toarakoh forcible resistance to the oppressioa and tyranny of q despotic gevernment. Mr. Owen took the aWrmatnm, and Mr argument was, that if the text ia Romans, beginning “ Let every seal ha subject to the higher powers, for there is an power but of God. the powers that bo ore of God,” &o., aad ending “ Whosoever, therefore resistetb the power, resisteth the ordinance of God, aad they that resist shall receive to themralret damnation,” ia to receive a litoral construction as a prut of the word of God, them the direct inference is, that all who hare ever resisted legal authority, or engaged in Revolutiens, ns Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, aad others, are now, in tbe words of the text, “ receiving to themselves damnation.” And for that reason, as it would lead to aa absurdity, Mr. Owen contended that if such a bonstructioc waa given to it. R sewld net be the word of God. Mr. Srcrest snidif that text be eonstrund to mean that down.trodden and oppressed nations cannot rise in rebellion against theit oppressors, and hurl them from power, he, too, would disbelieve it He believed the Bible eras republican in all its teachings, from beginning to end, and that it was, ia letter and spirit, death to tyrants aari tyranny, and no such construction as that Mr. Owen oppesed could be placed upon any part of the Scriptures. Mr. Secrest said that the Senator from Wayne was not a fighting man—he was opposed to all wars, and the fireside was the place where, and the poking-stick the weapon with which he did battle. Let a Negro or a Mexican, or anybody else but a citizen of Indiana, he the subject of animadversion, and Mr. Holloway’s sympathies wonld gosh out towards them like streams of living water; but be (Mr. Holloway) could go out of his way to attack iu a most violent and malignant manner, and with all the pot-house epithets at his command, one of the purest and noblest citizens of Indianar He ( Mr. S.) had had the honor of Mr. Owen’s acquaintance for some years, and knew that his moral character was beyond reproach, and well worthy the imitation of many of his assailants. His opiaions twenty-five or thirty years ago were not orthodox on all things, and Mr. S. did not know that they were orthodox now, but his heart was right, and there was, morally, no purer man m Indiana, and he (Mr. S.) was proud of his acquaintance and friendship. He had net arisen to make a speech, but merely to vindicate Mr. Owen from the rancorous assault made upon him by Mr. Holloway, and would not have done that had Mr^ Owen been La the position to defend himself. Mr. Owen was amply able to vindicate himself, and would do it if the Senator from Wayne wonld attack him anywhere else. He had repeatedly done it before the people of his own Congressional district to the entire satisfaction of ail who were not governed by a blind prejudice, and he looked forward to the day when Mr. Owen would be of incalculable benefit to Indiana. Mr. S. said be was not going into a discussion of the Mexican War. That war had been discussed before the people of the whole country and fully approved hy them, and the opponents of that war might as well charge upon the fortress of Gibralter with a pocket pis-

tol. as attempt to change that decision.

Mr. Dougherty took the floor and proceeded to speak ih defence of the Mexican War; but gave way for a

motion to adjourn, and The* Sen ate adjourned. AFTERNOON SESSION.

Senate met.

The bill to district the State introduced by Mr. Slack, having been made the order of the day for two o’clock,

was token up.

A call of the Senate was had and the absentees sent

fcr.

After some time the call was suspended. Mr. Seereit, after some debate upon the merits of the bill, moved to lay the bill on the tablo and print 150 copies. Mr. Reid called for a division of the question, which was ordered. The question being upon the motion to lay the bill on tbe table, it was decided in the affirmative—ayes 26, Does 21. The question then being npon printing 150 copies; it was decided in the negative. On motion of Mr. Slack, the oider of business was suspended and the bill in relation to the exclusion of negroes and muiattoes, which failed on the passage for want of a constitutional number of votes, was taken up. Mr. Slack then moved to reconsider the vote taken on its passage. Mr. Dunn raised a point of order—that no Senator voting in the affirmative had the right to move a reconsideration of a question; the negative, under the Constitution, being the successful, or, in effect, the majority party. The President decided that it was in order for a Senator voting in the affirmative to move a reconsideration. From this decision Messrs. Dunn and Marshall appealed. The appeal was debated by Messrs. Dunn, Marshall, Secrest, Reid, Safer, and Milliken. The question being on sustaining the decision of the Chair, it was decided in the affirmative—ayes 30, nocs

14.

The question then being on the reconsideration of the vote taken on tbe passage of tbe bill, it was decided in the affirmative—ayes 28, noes 16. Tbe question was then upon the final passage of the bill, but before a vote was taken Senate adjourned. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Wednesday, January 21, 1852.

A message was received from the Senate, announcing the concurrence of that body, to House resolution, for going into the election of two ConuaissioBers for the In-

Also, that the Senate had passed Honse bill, fixing the time when county treasurers shall settle with county and State Auditors, with amendments, which were

Mr. Wells said that tbe instructions merely conferred power upon the directors of plank and other roads to

Mr. Brady opposed the reference with such instructions, as it would tend to infringe upon the rights of tbe people. It was known that many plank roads have been permitted to be laid on State and eooaty roads, and if they are made railroads it will certainly be aa injury to the communities whieb use these roads. The House refused to so refer the bill.

The bill to establish courts of commoa pleas waa taken up. The question recurred on adopting the amend ment of Mr. Spencer, as a substitute for the origfnathQf. Mr. Spencer spoke at some length in favor of his substitute, and in opposition to the bill of the committee. He thought that the original bill would create a court

that would be entirely too expensive.

Mr. Stanfield, favored the bill as reported by the com-

mittee.

Mr. Stewart offered several amendments to the ortng-

inal bill.

Mr. King was very favorable to tke bill of the com-

mittee.

Mr. Gibson greatly preferred the present probate system, to the bill of, the committee. Ho was in fsvoc of placing the whole business in the Circuit Court, and increasing the number of circuits in the State. He thought it would not only be the cheapest but the most efficien

system.
