Walter Wilson, of Can county, Sa-nu'fl Henderson, of Marion to., Abel Lmax, of Wayne county, Dennis Pennington, of Hirnson county. Stephen Ludlow, of Dearborn county, as certain Electors; Sylvanus Everets, John I. Neely, as , contingent Elector. A resolution was moved by Mr. Vawter and adopted, for the appointment 'of a central committee, of live, whose

duty it shauld bo to fill any vacancy . . . I a. I ' in the electoral ticket wmcn m:g u ue occasioned by death or refusal tj serve. The chairmin tbn appointed Dr. Qihniel L. Chrk, Gen. Joseph Or, William danam, esq. John Vawler, eq. and aa aiJ C0CQ" mittee. Mr. Graham excused himself from serving on the committee on account of the distance of Jackson county from the residence of the balance of the committee. Mr. Vawter made a similar exruse, an I a member present, seeing that ."billing" waa becoming contagious, mjvef that -the chairman ftboil J appoint others 00 the committee in Marion and the adj nuing counties, and to etable him to spread his net for game that could be caught, he waa allowed to salect sai l committee after the meeting thotild adjourn, and hand the names to tho printer. O.ie. of the committee appointed to report tho electoral ticket, then moved that the names of the committee should be struck out of the proceedings, which rras carried by consent More boltin;?. Savaral gantleman were present vbo 1 took no part in the meeting, and several C!iymen members of the Legislature, neglected lo attend, and some of "doubtful" politics were "lookers on." A motion was then made that the caucus adjourn sine die, which carried, and a wag interprets the English of said motion to mean "signs of dying," owing, as he say3, to another strong -'sign" the want of hope and spirit in the Clay forces in Indiana, to such an alarming extent, that the people have dropped thebusinea?, and instead of a Convention! a faw partizm oQice holders can only be found to present the Electoral Ticket friendly to Messr?. Clay aud Sergeant. Ind. Domocrai A Protest. x The undersigned, msmbers of ths Senate, protest against the passage, by that body, on the 19th ultimo, of "A j

joiot resolution in relation to internal 1 f rife jn ?ile nnlion;jj councils and improvements, a protecting tariff, and j tbe 'counlry. at large; and by diatrnctrechartering the Bnk cf tha United jingtie nention of the members of thi States." LefUlature from their more npproprilat. Became, convinced of the con- al?nhere, to occasion a neglect of the

6iitnuonaiiiy anu eapeuieuuy ui a .i.u eo framed a to foster and protect na tional industry, whether agricultural, manufacturing or commercial, with an eye to the propority of all those cardi nal interest?, they regret to fi.d in this ' joint resolution, a Mind and unqualified adherence to the protective provisions of the tarifTof 1823, which was confesledly a compromise of conflicting intereats, nn arrangement of temporary erpediency, the necessity of which ha?, in a great degree ceased tocxi-t; a pystem approved by few (if any) tven in its inception in all ill details, and which by many of its earliest and w a: meet friend?, i admitted to require numerous modificationsBtronciy indicated by it obsolete policy, and the appro iching crisis occasioned by tha expected spce dy extins'iiahraent of the national debt. 2d. Because, whilrt ihe undersigned deprecate such n modification of ti.e present system of duties as would jeopard the nvmufacturirg interest! of the country, they believe that many fa'uUry changes might be ititroduced iuto that system, which, by abolishing the du'ies on some of the articles of prim necessity, and lessening them on others of that description, would lighten the burdens ofthe poor; and which, while it would continue to that branch of domestic industry, sufdeient power to successfully compete with foreign skill aud capital, would, at the same time, by a more extended and equal operation, adjusted in a conciliatory, magnanimous and patriotic spirit, tend to repress sectional complaint., destroy the already cerminalit g seeds of disunion, and afford an increased demand for the staple products of our own state. 3d. Because, although the Bank cf the United State?, has been of great

public advantage in affording commer- j deb, shais. be b 6Urarnou3 or attachcial facilities, and in aiding the fiscal I --.a

operations of the national government, yet, the undersigned believe that it also possesses the power of doing much evil, nnd they consider it unwise and impolitic, to owe an exemption from that evil, to the disposition of the stockholders and directors of tht institution, rather than to their rcanl ofpoieer. A, therefore, the doubt'ul policy of attempting to milunce the course ol our rcpre-. eentatio!) ii Congress, has been resorted.!

to, in the passage ofthisjoitjt resolution the Uhdirssgned r cret to see the aller- , y nCiViPleft to that tcureaentation of using

their irfluence for the continuation of (he peseril cha'ter, niih or without modification?. That such modifications are required, by the public good,

should the liauk be recharlered, if manifest to ihe undersigned, for the following among other reasons: B3causethe power incidentally vested in that corporation, of holdirg real estate to an indefinite amount, and which U liable to the evils of the antiquated law mortmain, and Ihe privilege of making its vaults the reservoirs of large undrawn balances of the nitional revenue, without a corresponding advantage to the general Government, might eventually give that powerful and wealthy corporation, a political influence dangerous to our liberties: And because, (10 0 no furthei) the director! of that institution have, themselves, virtually admitted the imperfection of th- present charter, by their repeated applications to Congress for a change in some of its provision?.. The undersigned derive additional confidence in this opinion, from the fact that the resolution of the legislature of the "great and enlightened state of Pennsylvania" so much relied on in argument by the majority in this body, as being favorablo to a continuance of the present charter, also recognizes the necessity of ! some modifications-therein. 4lh. T he undersigned further protest against this resolution, because, it claim? to ifee!f"to bring the deliberateopinions of the people in relation to these important subjects to bear at this crisis upon the council of the union," although the recent manifestation of pubi lie sentiment among Arconstiluents, a made known in a onore certain and legitimate manner, has evidenced any thing else than nn accordance with at least some of the principles contained in that resolution. They therefore, do not believe, that they were elected with the authority to give the sanction of their constituents to those principles: and 5th. Because conceding tbe point that extraordinary occasions may justify the diicussion of subjects of national policy, by a Stale Legislature, yet they believe, that the introduction of this resolution was not called for by the occasion; that the principles contained therein, have lately uadergone the ordeal of tbe thorough investigation and paramount decision of the people; that no salutary effect of a practical nature can result from th pnssage of iho resolution in question, but that much evil may be apprehended therefrom, as tendinf- to produce political excitement and immediate and important mterests of their constituents , &nd an useless expenditure of their mnev.
