The Legislature of this state convenes on TVIonday next, (lOiii January.) at Indianapolis the permanent scat of government for the itate of Indiana. The lirst part of trie session v. ill, no doubt, be :iken up in the elect ion of United States JL Senator, to succeed Mr. Taylor, whose term f service expires the present session. And should Mr, Blackford receive tins appointment, there will be an election for Supreme Judge to fill that vacancy. There will also bo an elect ion for Secretary of State, to suc
ceed R. A. New, the i resent Secretary. There may be several other vacancies occa:iIoned bv these appointments which it will be the duty of the legislature to liih . Mr Ecrgleston and Mr. Wick, circuit Judges, are candidate:- one for Supreme Judge and the other for Secretary of Slate. There will, perhaps, be several arnend- ' xner.ts made to the laws passed at lat sesioj). and incorporated ia the revised code, particularly the law respecting the collection of the state revenue, the execution law, and one or two others which immediately inter- - est the people. We hope the legislature will act with deliberation,and make no chants which are not absolutely necessary. They must recollect, that these laws have rot received the test of experience, which alone can demonstrate their usefulness, or show their defects. The revision and printof these laws, have cost the people too much to admit of their being thrown aside lor imaginary imperfections. We are willing. to have every change made, which will meliorate the condition of our citizens. Mocey is scarce and difficult to be procured For the payment of taxes ; yet, we do not believe the collection under the new act, to be o oppressive as imagined ; the difference in time of payment under the new and old law, cannot he crreat one or two months. It was absolutely necessary that some change should t ke place in the system, to prevent collectors from retaining the public funds in their hands, and speculating on them, when they ought to' be paid into the treasury. The
.advantages of the change will he clearly dis

Mr, Hayxe moved that that so much of the President's Message as relates to the provision for Gen. Lafayette, he referred to a select committee of five. The resolution olfjred yesterday by Mr, Brow::, to appoint a committee on roads
and canals, was thrn taken up. Mr. Ciuxdll R observed, that he was one of those who believed that this was a subject on which Congress had no right to leghiife; loathe believed it to be unconstitu'loi.ah and that, for his part, he was detennired to raise his voice and vote against the re-ohiiioi;. Mr. RecGLES said, it would be impossible to proceed regularly without a commhtee
on this subject; that it was the practice of
the Senate, and a very necessary one, to have such a committee. Mr. Nolle said he was sorry to find the gentleman from Maine opposed to the appointment cf a committee on this subject. He thought the gentleman's scruples would have time enough to opcn-e upon his mind hereafter. He alluded to the circumstance
of the Presidenfs collina: the attention of
Congress to the subject of internal improve
merits; and observed, in relation to the
message, that, though he had not the great

Tuts ay, December 14. On motion of ?dr. Jf.nnix'oS, of Indiana, it was Rcsohcd. That the Committee on the Public Lands be instructed to inquire into the expediency of reducing the price of such poriions of the public lards as shall have been exposed to sale for sixteen years, and remain unsold, to fny cents per acre; and that such portions of the public lands as have been exposed to sale far eight years, and remain unsold, be reduced ia price to seventy -five cents per acre. Mr. J. stated that he offered this resolution, in consequence of the Legislature of the Strife which he represents having expressed an opinion favorable to this change. Mr. "Wright, of Ohio, offered the following resolution: Resoival That the Committee on the Ju
diciary be instructed to inquire into the pro

or other civil officer of the Government of
the United States, who shall hereafter engage in fighting a duel, or in challenging.

so to engage, shall forleit the ofnee by him so held, and be ever afterwards rendered incapable of holding the like or other oliice under ine government. Mn. Tucicr.n, of Yirgi-ia, called for the previous uestiaa of consideration, which was na u and the House agreed to consider the resolution. Ma. Poixsett, of S.
