The Senate met very early this morning, and after completing; the business, which occupied about an hour, the President, the Hon. Milton Stapp, delivered the following Address, and adjourned the Senate sine die. Gentlemen op the Senate: Your labours for the present session are now closed, and with feelings of no ordinary kind, I arise to adjourn the Senate with out day You were called by the voicti of free men to guard their rights, to deliberate on their interests, and to pass such enactments as tend to the prosperity of the people of the state of Indiana. That you have performed those duties with faithfulness to your constituents and credit to yourselves, I have every reason to believe; and that your acts will meet their approbation, I have no reason to doubt. The increase of local business, consequent upon the unparalleled settle- ! ment of our countrv. must inevitnblvadd j ii . . .

The harmony that has existed in your body during the present session, must be a source of gratification not only to eveery Senator, but to every individual, who has witnessed your debates, and the manner in which you have conducted the business entrusted to vour care. Disappointment in the success of our fa-pro-lvorite measures may for the moment

agitate and excite us. But the generous

feelings of our hearts, supported by reason, compel us to vield to tne ma oruy s will with that friendly - acquiescence which becomes the representatives of a free people. I should do injustice to my feelings were I to adjourn the Senate without making to you my acknowledgements for the aid you have given me in the discharge of my duties, and expressing to you the lively interest I take in me prosperity of every individual with whom I have been associated in legislative business. The flattering manner in which you have been pleased to notice my services as the presiding officer of your body, is srratefullv received, and will be cherish ed as a testimony of your friendly regard! Tor one whose constant exertions have been to be faithful, to do justice, and to deserve the approbation of the Senators with whom he has had the pleasure to serve. That 1 have erred, in many intance?,there ran be no doubt; but that those errors were of the head and not of iKo hoarf I lfincr ntirt ronfiHMnllv linn you believe. , J t You are now about te quit the busy a nfnnhlir life.and ajruin to minute scenes and intcrchanzre social civilities and friendly salutations with the people by " - . whom you have been honored with a seat in the Senate. That this meeting may be one which will evince an entire approbation of )0ur faithful perseverance in the various interests of ) our constituents, is my anxious w?h, and that the rich reward of iheir approving voice may be bestowed on each one of you, is what I believe you deserve, and hope you will receive. The attachments formed by commingling in public service, cannot be concealed when the parting day arrives. The best feelings of our hearts are then brought into requisition; the individual, who has been agitated in debate or excited by disappointment, is moved to forgiveness and friendship ; and the parting farewell is cheered alone by the consoling n flection that we are about to return to the endearing objects of our lives our families and our friends. Lid. Journal, P residential Election Prospects before us. The great struggle is ovr, General Jackson will be President of these Uni ted States, and Mr. Adams will have to retire to a private life; a life which, for the good of the country, he should have never been permitted to abandon. We have supported General Jackson ; we have done what we could to promote his election;, success has been the reward. With him there is hope for a favorable change in the internal and external concerns of the counti) ; will) Mr.. AJam? there was none, but the certain!) of an aggravation of ttie evils the people have suffered under his administration. Now that the excitement has subsided; now that we tan leUurly look around u; ihe past, the present, and the future, must o c,s of ,JeeP r.eilt c,!,n to ViV " l"mi pros j before us; and the only hope we can possibly entertain, is that Andrew Jack operations ot his administration, to clear away the clouds which darken lh Ameriean horizon. From the beginning of this presidential contest, principles never were the molives which prompted the friends of the two candidates to enlist under different banners. Disappointed expectations ambitious views; personal and political aggraudiZ' rnnt ; urged the citizens to the contest. It i not, as in 1800,principle against principle ; democracy against federalism. It was not the concentrated strength of the citizens of one political creed, against the concentrated strengths of all the aristocrats of the country. In the rate contest men of all and opposite political principles, were arrayed against each other. Detnocrats,federalists, and ultras, were opposed by democrats, federalists, and ultras. An election so important as that of President of the United States, carried on in this manner cannot tail to cloud the fair prospects of the country ; cannot fail to excite fearful feelings for the future in the breast of the true patriot. When principles are abandoned; when contention springs up only for the political advancement of men; well may the patriot's breast be filled with apprehension for the destinies of his country. Our remarks aye not made without reflection, and without being able to produce evidence of their correctness In the eastern states Mr. Adams was supported with reluctance. Sectional feelings and prejudice procured him the votea of those states. Man? federalists of the old school acknowledge now, that he is not ftt to be President and cannot be trusted ; that they supported himin order to promote the interest of particular friends. Notwithstanding this opinion of Mr. Adams, they warmly advocated his election. The republicans were also divided. Many, by the influence of sectional feelings, forgot the interest oi

Mn of old standing in the republican ranks were seen arrayed under the Adams banner, and, thereby to countenance the projects devised by the administration, for the annihilation of the very principles those republicans pretend to profess, and by wiiich the democratic party had been governed since the adoption uf the federal constitution.

In Perm sjlvania,we had the same aspect. Men of high standing in the republican party warmly espoused the cause of Mr. A idiim. Fuilher South the horizeu Wab not brighter.

Geoigia, let it be said to her honor, was probably the only state of the Union which, with a natural dislike to the name of Adams, connected principles in the support of General Jackson, undei the firm conviction that a more strict adherence to the stipulations of the constitution, will maik the measures of his ad ministration. I? i the West the contest was not carried on with more political distinctions. Principles were out of the question. Mr. Clay, the democrat the distinguishes luminary of the republican part, wiu his friendsr was seen falern.z . g will his former enemies, with men vvnenj lu had branded as traitors to their country ; supporting principles he had denounceu as destructive of the liberties of ihe people; and abandoning a parly wbi. h had raised him to distinction and influence. If a total disreg-trd of principles hatbeen manifested in this presidential contest, the ft iends of civil liberty cannot anticipate much good for the future. They cannot expect that principles w ili hereafter guide the people in the choice o; their public functionaries. Should tt;e present feelings of ttie people noi eh ange, the succeeding presidential elections will be attended with more baleful cons, quences than the one winch ha? just terminated. New men have appear ed in the political arena, full ot ambition, of equal talents and popularity. Thi country will be divided b) faction;: principle will be thrown aside, ami those who possess in a high degree the art of electioneering, whether ihey bt democrats or fedei alists.'will be tei lain to suceeed in their plans of political ag - grant.iZt ment.

We may have the green, blue, while or black (actions, Us we have now the free and slave States, ;he tariff and anli-tarilf States. Tin consequences of such a sJate of things can be anticipated but with dread. The administration of General Jackson, and the policy he will pursue, may do much toward a reformation in the feelings of the m-nn p. H tr-.r hri...J tiacK Uie limes, when the constitution was venerated and its stipulations strictly and religiously observed. He may teach the ambitious more patriotism and more devotion to republican principles. He may, in short, place the country in such a situation, that no deinaouue, no designing aspirant after political aggrandizement and power, will dare present himself before the people and solicit their suffrage. If, on the contrary, he adopts,, in the measures of his ad I I . i j 1 ministration, a liberal construction of the federal constitution, an amalgamating policy, an unlimited cipenditure of the putdic money for other than uselul purposes; if he doe9 not inculcate and follow the cardinal principletthat the free exercise by the States of all the rights retained by them, insures the permanency of the Union; then his administration will be as productive of mischief and evils as that of his predecessor; his administration will complete what Mr. Adams has Iregnnthe destruction of all state rights, and the concentration of ail sovereign power in the federal government. Firmness will not be wanting in the next adn.. stration? but that firmness must fj.arve a good and solid foundation. Let General Jackson take for his guide the constitution; let him employ but men of known integrity, talents and republican principles, attached lo the IJniuii and to the lights of the

That firmness, which he possesses to an eminent degree, will ensure success in all Ida undertakings, prosperity to the country, happiness to the rising generation, and the free en joyment of civil and political liberty to ill.
