LETTERS TO TIIE EDITOR. Indianapolis, Jan. 24. Dear Sir The Senate is still "deliberating in cold debate" on the bank bill, and has been for several dsys, without seeming to come an inch naarer a conclusion. Besides this bill,

there ere some 50 or 60 before it, (many of

them important,) and there isa like number

or more to be yet sent up from our House

The House is turning off business with all

the rapidity of a nail factory, and if we do not adjourn next week, it will not be the

fault of the Representatives. Fifteen or

twenty bills were passed this day, and a number vetoed, in various ways. One of the bills passed, relates to elections of members of congress, in the event of a called session. That part of it, as introduced, which changes the present law, was stricken out. A bilfhas also passed to change the Practice Act, so that persons commencing suits in the Circuit Court, on bills, bonds, note3, &c, shall not be com

pelled to file a declaration; and also to give

plaintiff, in suit3 taken by appeal form Jus

tices of the Peace to Circuit Court, the

right to amend their papers, by paying all

costs up to that time. This is to prevent

nonsuit and a resort to the court below, (as it is called.) The Justice's Act will not be interfered with much. The bill above

named, has another provision of some importance. It extends the benefits of the

9th section of the Justice's act to persons

imprisoned on fine for criminal offences as

sessed in Circuit Court.

The following article was presented for publication by our familiar, the devil. We were about to give him a drubbing for his

stupidity and bad grammar, but forbore on

reflecting that he, possibly, stole it from the Statesman. : "We are much pleased to see our citizen, and Representative, Mr. Dunn spoken of,

in such a flattering manner, as some one of

the members of the Legislature, has, in a

letter to his constituents. But from our thinking for themselves.

why dwell or enlarge upon this subject; it is too plain not to be understood by the intelligent citizens of Indiana, and though Gov. Noble, should continue to write electioneering messages to the Indiana Lesislature, to procure a vote

of censure on our Representatives in Congress; and though Mr. Dunn, should continue; to write minority reports, yet will the freemen of Indiana, as

they should do, take the liberty of

acquaintance with Mr. Dunn, we feel assur

ed, that he has given him no more praise than he justly merited."

in the flat boat, who came instnntly to his assistance and were apnarcntlv readv to

rescue him from the clutches of this trans

pulled out not a pistol, but a small piece of paper, and said, "I take him in the name of the State." The messmates of the un

fortunate navigator looked at him for some

time, and then one of them said, drily, "I

guess you must go with the constable."

Subsequently, at New lork, I heard one evening a row at a tavern, and wishing to see the process of capturing a refractory citizen, 1 entered with some other persons. The constable was there, unsupported by any of his brethren and it seemed to me morally impossible that, without assistance,

lie could take half a dozen fellows who were with difficulty restrained from whipping each other. However, his hand socmen to be as potent as the magic wand of Armida, for, on placing it on the shoulders of the cambatants, they fell into the ranks and marched off with him as quietly as if they had been asleep. Even in large towns in the western country, the constable has no men under his command, but always find most powerful allies in the citizens themaelvcs, whenever a culprit is to be captured.1 FcrraVs Kamhlcs in America.

Indianapolis, Jan. 29.

Dear Sir: The Bank subject has not

yet been settled. The Senate has it still

under advisement. The bill which passed

the House lies on the table in the Senate

and that body is. trying to digest one of its

own. The task seems, however, to be very

difficult, and not likely to be successful.

So fur as they have gone they have effected

nothing, except to pursuade the friends of

the establishment of a Bank, that no bill wil

he framed that will meet the sanction of either House. The plan of the Senate, so far as developed, confers on the mother Bank powers that must inevitably destroy all prospects of the establishment of branches. It is not necessary, however for me to detail the objections to the plan suggested, nor point to what might be done

did time permit; it is now very clear that

no Bank bill will pass, this session, unless

it be the one sent up by the House. The

subject must be determined to-morrow, or

next dav at farthest.

A bill to regulate common schools has

passed both Houses. It is intended to take

the place of all other laws on the subject,

and form an entire system of itself. Its extreme length and minuteness of detail, put it out of my power to give even an outline of it in a letter of ordinary length. The bill appropriating $25,000, in addition to last year's law, to improve the Michigan Road, South from Logansport to the Ohio River, has passed both Houses. This sum, properly expended, will make the necessary bridges and otherwise improve the road, so as to render travelling upon it at all times safe and comfortable. A hill passed the House to-day to transfer the 3 per cent, fund agency to the Treas

urer of State. Should this bill receive the

sanction of the Senate, it will give addition

al security to the funds, and effect a saving to the State of about 300 per year no

This drain of money from the new 6tates,

for the purchase of the public lands, would amount in five vears to the sum

of two hundred and fifty thousand dol-

lars; a sum sufhcient to puchase five hundred thousand acres of the public lands. This number of acres of land, would at fifty cent9 per acre, furnish six thousand two hundred and fifty of our citizens with a home of eighty acres of land, and double that number with a home of forty acres. Yet, Gov. No ble, Mr. Dunn, and others are in favour of collecting this sum of money off the citizens of Indiana, to be placed in the several state treasuries!! But this is but a part of the "system" advocated by the national republican party, both in and out of the state of Indiana. Heretofore, the public lands were looked to as a proper source of revenue to aid in the payment of the national debt. But now that this debt is liter

ally paid off, it is believed that no valid argument can be made in favor ol the price for which the public lnnrie ire now sold: much less, when it U

The Proclamation of Gov. Hayne in reply

to that of the President, is a paper which completely establishes the reputation of its author as a man of brilliant talents; but

goes far to show that his love of Country is

a mere pretention without any reality, and

that an unholy, inordinate ambition alone is urging him on in his visionary career.

In support of the idle and nonsensical doctrines of Nullification which we believe to be a disease, and for which the "second

section11 would be an cllectual remedy in our opinion, the Governor's Proclamation

abounds with opinions winch nave lor.g since been repudiated as heterodox by all friends of the Union. Such as, that a state has an inherent pow

er to do all those acts, which by the laws of

nations any Prince or Potentate may of right do. That like all independent states, she neither has, nor ought she to suffer any oth

er restraint upon her sovereign will and

pleasure, than these high moral obligations,

under which all princes and states are bound

before God and man to perform their sol

cmn, pledges," and that "she Ins a right to

judge as well of infraction as of the mode and measures of redress tend to destroy all

ideas of a Union of the states sets tho con

stitution about which they prate so much, at nought and by following the fine spun ihcoiy to the end, annihilates all social compacts and reduces man to a stale of nature. In the name of common sense, what are

the powers of the General Government if

each of its laws and measures are to be tri

ed before 24 superior tribunal?, any one of

which acting as umpire as sole judge of

Federal compact may in opposition to the united voice of the twenty three declare

them void and of no ellect.

If Gcv. Hayne is right then this union the pride of Americans and admiration of the

world has but an ideal cxistencs. instead

of being a powerful, free and happv na

tion, and a terror to the despoils ot the

earth, we are but an association, ot petty

communities, without any tie to bind us to-

gcther, with no common interests, and in

time of danger with no other protection or

means of defence than our individual re

sources, unless by entering into an alliance
