So unimportant have beeu the proceedings of the Legislature, that we have found it useless to give a daily detail. In other columns we give a sketch of the debate iu the Senate on the Governor's late veto on the White Water Canal bill. We also give Mr. Ford's speech on the reception of the Mexican trophies It will also be seen that the Legislature has iuvited Geu. Tayor to visit our State. We see also that the pretended leaders of the two parties in the State are committing their J respective parties ny a separate set of resolutions. Mr. McCarty has offered a set of resolutions declarative of the opinions of the Bvmoerata relative to the Mexican war. He is an elector, and conseqoently h is endorsed as oand apon that subject. On the other hand Holloway has introduced resolutions, which may be recognised as w hig in the "burnt dis trict," but we wish it understood that he speaks not the sentiments of the w hig of this region,

The notes demanded, in addition to those already in circulation, would flood the country with that description of paper. ch an emission would constitute a governnient bank, controled and managed by a party administration. We have now fifteen millious of treasury notes in circulation, and authority to issue five millions more.

To meet any deficiency of the revenue to pay the current expenses of the war, I would author'7B loans t par, paying not more than six per cent, interest, and if loans cannot be made at this rate, let the administration resort to a system of taxation.which will cause the people to feel the expense of the war.

Men say that to run him is to court defeat; that his name as the Whig candidate would he sure to rally and unite the entire Democratic party, with all their personal and party preduriices and animosities. The desire to see Mr. Clay President is not more general among the Whigs than the profonnd conviction that he cannot lie elected.
