Continued from first Page, on' further delay. Convinced llmt you will bs sustained by the magnanimous population of Indiana, in furthering this enduring and useful line of commerce, my opinion as to the obligation which rests upon you to make it, is respectfully given. The Michigan Road lands sold for 49,371, as reported to mc by the commissioner. The .average is about 1000 per section, which will apply the same amount to each mile of the road, if the balance of the lands sell as well as these. Contractors upon this road, may congratulate themselves in the prospect of the speedy redemption of their scrip. The timber being removed from the road this season, such im provements upon it the next, as shall make it passable, are required of necessity; which call for an additional sale of the lands. The legislature ought to continue to look to Congress for appropriations to finish the Rational Road, already in a considerabe state of forwarduegs. This bond of union, distributer of commerce, and thoroughfare for the march of armies, leveling mountains, raising valleys, and surmounting rivers in its wide range, is already evidencing the policy of its founders, and the wisdom of its present supporters. The fact that a steam vessel ascended White river last spring, at the instance and risk of a distinguished citizen of this county, may be considered as a pressing call upon the legislature, to appropriate a portion of the three per cent, fund to improve such watercourses.

Single rail ways arc contemplated from Cincinnati and from Louisville to Indianapolis. These are projects which, indeed, are truly commendable; and which by their immense advantages, if ever finished, recommend themielves to our special approbation. If such cities should enter into rival competition with each other, for the vast trade of this rich country, thsir accomplishment would be certain. It is probable, that an application will be made to the Legislatures of Ohio and Indiana, this winter for a charter to make the one from Cincinnati to this place; we are notified to thi3 effect, at least, from a respectable source. When corporations composed of enterprising individuals, at their own expense, offer to accomplish such works as these, states, unable for the task, should rarely refuse the privilege. The recent and untested compilation of the laws, admonish the legislature, to make as few changes in them, as possible, until their provisions are more fully understood and snderstandingly disapproved. A code of wholesome laws is emphatically a blessing, still their permanency and immutability are equally so. Presuming that this session will be principally spent in local legislation, it is thought unnecessary to present but few subjects of a general nature, from a full conviction, that whatever of that class there may be, will not escape your superior sagacity. In you, as the immediate ministers of public sentiment, holding your commissions directly from the ballot box, the reasonable presumption of a knowledge of the wishes and grievances of your constituents, more than any one, is concentrated. Among the subjects which may come before you, at this session, are the formation ot congressional districts under the new census; the erection of a state house; and further sales of lots in Indianapolis ; a memorial for the final extinguishment of the Indian title; the making provision for the approaching election of President and Vice-President of the United States, in this state; and the formation of some new counties. I refer you to the reports of the treasurer and agents of the state and of the three per cent, fund for the detailed account of the finance. It will be seen by the receipts into the treasury for this year, the present revenue law will produce means enough, for the use of an economical government like ours. I will not so far underrate your intelligence and patriotism, as to suppose that at this momentous crisis of the republic, your opinion of the tariff and internal improvement, involving their constitutionality and cxpediciicy ; on the distribution of the surplus revenue, so soon as the national debt is paid off; on the renewal of the United States Bank charter, with or without amendments; and on the treasonable doctrine of nullification, will not be expressed: for, strong as are our belief in, and attachment to, the three first of these measures, yet if their modification and ndjurtment to the standard of the most enlightened public opinion in all of the states nationalizing the two, and diminishing the pressure of the other, aro deemed the only remedy, to crush the ill-omened spirit of rebellion, which threatens to demolish the American confederacy, as wife men preferring the lesser to the greater evil, let us unite in the name of the constitution, of equal burthens and privileges, .and

of mutual concession and co-rprorni?r, to avert the calamities which threaten us. For union and liberty, no minor sacrifice is too great. The i-o.repli-tious bastard of unchastened ambition, nullification, should be accelerate d to its destiny, to pour a nation's ui.mitigited contempt upon its tzeak or Kicked authors. He who overturns this monster, deserves more gems in his crown than the conquerer of Pompey, Napoleon, or Patkenham. He will have earned a nation's gratitude more than once or twice. Jackson, to his immortal honor, has thrown the influence of hi3 great name and official station at the heart of this foe to freedom. Jackson may yet play the potent enemyisave the Union, and wear the laurel which is in reserve for the brow of the victor. lie has said The Union; it must be preserved 1' Let him stand by this sentiment, and the country's second saviour must stand confessed. This act alone, not only entitles

the American President, of Roman virtue, to the Presidency again, but will qive him a standing in all future time, like Washington's, in the temple of fame. He will live like him and Lafayette, in the hearts of the friends of liberty, in two hemispheres. The avowal of these sentiments, m these times, by a President, was as bold, ns it wa3 perilous to his popularity. Rut it is worthy of the man; and in character with himself. Have we no reward for such noble deeds? Until we have some further guarantee, that the election of either of the incumbent's known competitors, worthy & talented as they are, must not result in a series of convulsions and proscriptions and persecutions, as a consequence of the party struggle, which achieved his triumph, more to be deprecated than any which preceded them, it would appear manifest, that the tranquility of the country makes a decisive call upon HIM, under whose administration the country has flourished and is now prospering, to serve as long a9 his great compeer, "the father of his country." No longer the governor of the state, and freed from my obligations to all, it is deemed due to myself and to my country, that this expression cf my opinion be made a9 a citizen; though, eonviced it is disapproved by a majority of those addressed. If the postponement of Mr. Clay's claims to the presidency, four years longer, and the re-election of General Jackson, disorganize the elements of party strife, confuse and disappoint a re-animated federal junto thirsting for power, and secure to us peace at home unite society again in the bonds of common respect, and bring our elections back to the test of merit and save the Union, as is hoped; the good done by the latter, must far exceed the sacrifice of the former, always prepared to give up personal desires to assuage the public grievances, as good patriots. His election, without opposition, would be most consonant to the dictates of prudence, by the permission of his competitors, and tbe acquiescence of their friends, finding such a result inevitable. Though we may take exceptions to some acts oi an auminisiration, yei ineir numuer nor their magnitude arc not to be contrasted with the valuo cf the Union. Neither should an abberration or two, bring down upon its head a sweeping exclusion from authority, when surrounded by a rich cluster of virtues. The present national chief following the footsteps of his republican predecessors having fulfilled the expectations he created before his election, and having given indubitable proofs of his qualification there can be no good disinterested reason offered, why he should not serve as long as Washington, Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe; and as long as Adams deserved to serve, at a nation's call. Each new administration is beset by a hungry swarm. The motions of the fable, enter a caveat to the people. This is no time for experiments, for personal aggrandizement, or the gratification of party pride and ambition no time for theoretical spec ulation. An attentive observer of the acts of this administration, my mind has embraced the conclusion, that the American people have little to fear, and much to hope for, from it. All of the departments are under the direction of accomplished, able men. Its measures differ but little from those of the administrations which preceded it, and the abilities of chief and subordinates cannot sutler in comparison with any of their predecessors. My individual vote, will, therefore, be given to the incumbent, if he is a candidate for a re-election, unless he vet does something to render him undeserving. Suffer me to add in conclusion, the expression of my most sincere hope, that you may cultivate a spirit of friendly feeling and intercourse towards each other, with eves closed upon the politics of the day; and that all of the departments of the state government may harmoniously "dwell together in unity," and co-operate with each other, remembering the distinctive character of the ollicial action

of c-ich, for the good i.f the. whole. In t.,is temper of nind and inspired with these views: in the love of my adopted state, of her people; and with a heart glowing with pride and joy at the c on temptation of her exalted destiny 1 cor ii t!!y tender you the pledge of a lastiiu farewell. JAMES B. RAY. December G, 1331.

CioTcrsior rVoMc's Xnsu sural. Stnutors, Refre.atutir(s,and iWox citizen : Yon havo assembled in the Representative Hail, to witness my pledge of fidelity to the Constitution, accompanied with a solemn a?e oration, laithfully and impartially to discharge the duties appcitainir to the othec of Chief Magistrate ot the state. In taking upon myself the labor?, and a?guming the responsibilities of a station, the most distinguished within the gift ef my ft llow citizeiis of Indiana, I avail myself of the presence cf their ! Senators, Representatives, and other puuiic I u a e 1 1 hi ii 1 1 e , iu iacm ungrateful feeling, and acknowledge the high sense of obligation, this distinguished mark of coi ft deuce has awakened in my bosom; and while I tender to you, and through you to the people of the state, my respectful thanks, tor the honor conferred by their suffrages, permit me, in this public manner, torenew the pledge, that my time and humble talents shall be faithfully employed in the promotion of their prosperity and happiness. The instrument I have just promised to respect as the land maik of my oiiicial course has clearly defined the powers and duties of ths co-ordinate branches, and established the boundaries of the executive, legislative, and judicial departments of the government; and although these, with the success which has attended the building up of our moral, civil, and political institutions, and the rapid march we have made towards a higher destiny, have sufficiently marked the way, and lighted the path that I should tread, yet the commencement of a new executive term, the usages of the country require, and you may expect at my hands, an outline of the policy prescribed for my government. Among tbprominent measures and the importanTduties that will annually claim a share cf our deliberation?, is that enjoined by the constitution to provide a general system of education. In a short time the reins of government will pass to other hands, and the places we occupy must be filled by the youths of the land. "Knowledge is power;" and all power rightfully derived, comes from the hands of the people. That our free institutions may be perpetuated, it is not enough that we provide a few who are qualified to sit in the councils or guide the helm of state we must commence at the fountain of power, with the great mass of the people, to cultivate, and enlighten the public mind, by a diffusion of the bpnefits of education. Hitherto, in Indiana, wealth has given no claim to office, and when the. farmers and mechanics reflect that their sons, with the assistance of education, can travel in the path to distinction, and enter into competition, on equal grounds, for the posts cf honor, they will come forward and lend their aid to sustain us in any plan calculated to ensure to their offspring such benefits. Admonished then, a9 we are, of the necessity of the measure, from our own knowledge of the wants of that portion of society in which we each live, motives of interest, philanthropy and patriotism invite us to immediate action ; and on my part, I am not ouly willing to act efficiently , but to meet responsibility in, such a cause The sphere of action of the state authorities being circumscribed by their territorial limits, it is not within the reach of state legislation, to devise or carry into effect any general plan for the protection of the agricultural, manufacturing, and commercial interests of the nation, to develop our national resources, or to render us independent of foreign industry and ingenuity, as well as of foreign legislation. These powers have been wisely committed to the supervising care of the national legislature, and it is to that source we must look for the improvement of our natural, and the opening of new and artificial channels of commercial intercommunication between the several states, the creation of heme markets for the varied products of the country, by the protection of domestic industry and enterprise, and for the establishment and maintcnar.ee of a sound, uniform, and equal currency, throughout the Unior. Experience has abundantly tested the utility and expediency of the "American System," and demonstrated that our pre sperity and future hopes dfpend upon its prosecution; and although we cannot officially participate in the work, we ran exert a mornl ii.fluenee and sliei Pthen (he hands of ihe laborers in the cause, by an expression ef eur approbation on ! suitable occasions. TLue are, however wiiLio. the range of

duties ind" within thn s.-np of rr?r -Mv trd to u, miny important oljec's to he accomplished, nuxtiiry to the genera! system, and essential to a fall participation in its benefits. For years to come we must bs en agricultural people, find the surplus produce of the country must be transported beyp s confers cf the state to find a rasrket. It is obvious then that tvhile the gctnr.il government is preparing the great nations! thoroughfare?, and creating consumption by fostering

manufactures, it is our interest and dtRy faithfully and economically to apply tbe means placed at cur control by the nstion ! government, to their legitimate objects, and to exert ourselves to call into requisition the Intent resources end tho energies cf tb? ?tate, to improve cur rivers, nt by calling lateral rotl and canals, to ftcihtsite the conveyance cf thd varbus commodities of cur state. It was tbe opinion cf soine rcho were otr?ors in tbo cTeatfal strt'tries of ihe revolution, ard trho assisted in framing the Federal Constitution, that any attempt to discipline the whole body of tbe militia cf the Union would ba "as futila as it would prove injuriau. Hut notwithstanding tha venixaticn of this opinion, and the price tve have paid for our lessons cf experience on that snbjrct, we still prosecute the plan by calling fifty thousand of our citizens from their avesatioos three day3 in each year, who return to their pursuits ns destitute of a knowledge cf the science as before. In my opinion, if at all attainable, tbe design is too gigantic to be eccoaiphshed under state auspices; and until tbo general government, to which it properly belongs, shall take the subject in band and adopt soma general system that will lessen the burthens to the country by reducing the numbers, and that will equalize the service throughout the states, without opposition to any, and ensure uniformity and concert, we can never hope for an efficient militia. But in the adoption of a substitute, care thoold bo observed that the states are not deprived of any of their attributes of sovereignty, and that the militia thus organized shoald be the militia cf the states and not of the national government. It is important to tbe future growth and prosperity of Indir.na tbat the remaining Indian title to lands within tier holders shoukl be speedily extinguished. In several remote parts of our territory, counties have been laid off with flourishing and rapid'y increasing settlements, between which and the ?eat of government are large bodies of these land The expense attending the extension of our civil jurisdiction over these remote and detached settlements, and of affording the protection of our laws to our citizens, is greatly enhanced, while we are deprived of the advantages that would accrue from tbe settlement of the intermedial country, by giving a northern and eastern direction to a portion of ohr commerce. With that object alone in view, it shou'd be a fkvorite measure with us to obtain an extinguishment of these tit'es. At a crisis, and with an opportunity like the present, it may be expected I will bestow a passing remark on tbe subject of 'State Rights,' that fruitful theme for declamation, excitement, and I might add, self aggrandizement in certain sections of the Union. Having no inducement t conceal my sentiments on any topic of the kind, I will observe that I am a strenuous advocate for the constitutional sovereignty, the distinctive independence of the states, and whilst I am honored with a share in the administration of public tLiTuirs, I will not tamely or silently overlook any encroachment upon the rights reserved to the states, by the Federal Constitution. Hut whi'st I am thm explicit, 1 must also aver, that after an examination of the subject, 1 entertain no fears of consolidation from tbe enactments of tbe National Legislature, neither have I been able to detect tbe least infringment upon tbe rights of the state, from an exercise of tbe disputed powers, to discover any of tbe alleged evils flawing to any portion of tbe Union, nor any thing to justify the menaces ottered the authority ot tbe Fedrral Government. It should be remember. ed, that, in ti e integrity of tbe Union, co'isis's our glory and strength, and upon its contimi r.nce depend our peace, prosperity and happi- j np! n a ration. It is danFerous to trifle wiih ,

such things, and be who "enfeebles tbe sacred I Annual Report of all tbe doings and discoveties that bind together tbe various parts,'1 or ! ricsof its different members, and be entitled to openly speaks of 'dissevering the Union by re jail its constitutional privileges end benefits, sisting its au'horitiy, incuts a fearful responsi- V Those wishing further information Will biiity. it it strange, that those who are so j please address a letter (post pid) to Col.

over ti.orts to vindicate the Constitution, manifest so little regard for that which tbe Consti tt.tion was designed to preserve the Union of the states. We all know gentlemen that the violent contest for pov er. under Federal authority, waged the last half dozen years, bis turned cut to be little else than a mere scuiae for 'hue, and in reviewing tbe part we have each taken, no doubt we will all have much to regret. That trarq-iility and repose may be restored to society and harmony pervade tbe council of tbe state, so far as example on my part will accomplish the desirable objects, I am resolved that in my ofiicial course, and in the disposition of the patronspre attached to the executive, no trace of party shall be found, nor shall m political friends induce tbe inquiry or uppi oach me with the argument, that this or that individual, was or was not. recently in my support. My aspirations shall be for tbe good of my fellow citizens all, ami so far as I have been made to feel the smart of th;s party violence, its influence is now a stranger to my bosom, and sha'l be lost to my memory. Allow me gentlemen, Senators, and Representatives, to urge upon your consideration the importance of a mutual- cultivation of harmony and good feelirg in all our intercr urse, and on my part I now ffer you the assurance that frankness and undisguised friendship shall mark my course, and that 1 will bail the returning period and greet your coming to gether, that we may annually mir.g'e nn conn cils and unite our efforts for tbe common gord. In presenting subjects for tbe deliberation of the Legislature, 1 trust my suggestions will be made in ti e spirit of tbe constitution as the advice of one, who from bis ofKciul situation is bound to know sr.d understand public concerns, and I only ask that they may receive a candid examination at your bands. And in tbe discharge of all executive duties it shall be my desiie to preserve all tbe barriers to encroachments on the other departments, to rr train from an abuse of executive privileges and to r.void any step calculated to loosen ihose restraints imposed by ofiicial propriety. Whilst ror. foi ruing to these outlines, in my cflbrsl to be useful, will tbe aid imd friendly countenance of giave Senators be awarded me? i.nd shall I eojoy the spp;fv:ng support of worthy Kepiesentativcs?
