To the People of the State of

Indiana. Fellow Citizens: As a candidate for the office of Governor, it is my desire to hecome acquainted with every man in the community, and it being beyond roy personal exertions to visit the different sections of the Stale, I have determined, as the most convenient method of cultivating an understanding with you, to address myself to you through the medium of the press; and, in doing so, to spread before you, in the summary manner, my ideas and opinions on some subjects which will pTobably require the consideration of your Executive. The opinions of public men are public property, and the more tangibly they are indicated before an election, the more advisedly the voter bestows bis suffrage, and the stronger obligations should bind the recipient of your confidence in fulfilling, in practice, the code of his professions. Many of you will remember that my name was before the public, three years ago, for the same high office to which I now aspire, and to such as then aided my pretensions, I take this opportunity of tendering my sincere acknowledgments. The result of that contest is well known to all, and it is sufficient for me to say that I was unsuccessful, but not badly beaten. 1 was, however, disposed to remain comparatively retired, until the kindness and partiality of a highly dignified association of my fellow-citizens, and many others throughout the State , solicited me to become a candidate. I have yielded to the solicitations of my friends, and now throw myself upon their indulgence and support, pledging myself to use my utmost honorable exertions to succeed in the election, and hoping to hear of a corresponding effort, on the part of the people, to sustain me. Iam induced to think that it is but fair dealing with the public, for a candidate to record his opinions, for the reason that the record may appear in every section of the state, and that the people may not be imposed upon, by opinions advanced with the intention of suiting the particular latitude in which they are promulgated, for it must be obvious, that the Chief Magistrate of a state should hold himself in readiness to measure even handed justice to each and every portion of his jurisdiction. In regard to measures, I will first say, that I still fuel a continued and unceasing solicitude for the general improvement of the internal commerce of the State, and think it an object of primary importance that the energies of the State should tend to the speedy completion and extension of the avenues of commerce, in the shape of Canals, Rail-' roads, and roads of more common and cheap construction, and the improvement of our numerous and valuable river3. A reference to my votes while a member nf tbf. T.prricjlnl nrp. nnrl Mnrtimlnr. ly those of 1329-30, when the Wabash and Erie Canal Bill was under consideration, will show that I have always been the willing advocate of a general system of internal improvement. A widely diffused system of common school education has, and will ever meet my support, and as the means of the State are extensive and increasing, I look forward with confidence to the day when every man in the State may have the means to educate his children without incurring the heavy expense which has hitherto prevented many worthy persons from participating in this valuable blessing. Much depends upon the intelligence of a community in more than moral and social intercourse the very political institutions of our country are reared upon that foundation, and as wisdom and virtue shall progress, or decline, so shall our happy and liberal institutions flourish or decay. When the foundations of knowledge are opened to all, then all alike may enter the erena of usefulness; and talent and industry, whether the attributes of the poor, or the rich will find their rewards in the pulpit or the forum, the field or the study, the profitable pursuits of business, or the high uspiiations pfter fame and immortality. A general and well founded complaint exists against our present Military system, and will continue to exist so long as its imperfect and buthensome requirements remain. Experience has taught us that but little good is derived to the public from the manner of teaching in the art of war, at our common Military parades, and a large portion of our fellow-citrzens regard ihem as a day lost, rather than a day of improvement. Although I have nev.cr had the honor of holding a Military commission, I should be pleased to aid any effort which would increase the dignity of the profession of arms, and which would satisfy the citizen that he is not playing a farce, in the name of the service of his country. Until the Congress of the Union shall present a uniform system for the regulation of the Militia of the several States, winch it has the reserved right to do, would it not be advisable in the time of peace to dispense with as much of the present defective system as would leave us a perfect knowledge of the number and character of our citizen soldiers, without encumbering them with an obser vance ot its absurdity; tor it will not bo denied that both Officers and Privates find it an almost utter impossibility to comply with its requisitions in regard to uniforms, arms and accouterments, and if that section which requires an individual to appear on parade, armed and equipod,can be dispensed with by producing a cornstalk or a club, why may not the Militia man consider all other provisions of the law equally useless, and observe them accordingly. A lame and deficient law is worse than no law, for the reason that some will observe and obey its obligations, while others will screen themselves under its latches and imperfections. 1 he inequality in our system of taxation has not escaped my attention and reflection, and I am fully convinced that it requires radical and important changes. From my situation as a member of the Committee of Ways and Means in the House of Representatives, for many years, I was led to notice the injustice done to many counties and districts of the State in the returns of the rales of land. Many counties would return large quantities of first rate land, while others possessing equally good soil and corresponding advantages would not return an acre as first rate, and consequently their assessments were reduced, and the burdens of State expenses were necessarily laid upon such counties as were in the habit of making different returns. The people will demand an improved and equitable system, and little doubt remains on my mind that their demands should be attended to. The subject of the public lands which lie within onr limits has engrossed much attention, and has frequently been the subject of discussion in our State Councils, and I must bonestlv confess tovou, that a difference ofopinion.cn this point exists, between my competitor and myself. He openly advocated the Distribution Bill, which was vetoed by the President, while I am of the belief that the graduation and reduction principle best comports with the interests of this State. His Messaoc of J832, requesting the Legislature to instruct our t. Representatives in Congress to vote for the Distribution Bill contains the following language: In Eicaiug vi uw voio on Air. nay 'a t,ajm $ jie

arraigns our members as follows: Gov. Hendricks j

and Gen. Tipton giving it tncir support, but in mo lower Rnnsf? the Bill met with opposition, and on a mmmn tn nostoone it was lost, our Members voting with its enemies, when their support would have saved the Bill." The fact of an Executive of a State arraigning a Member, or three Members of Congress for their votes, was not the only novel and - - mm - 1 uncalled for course of conduct in reference to this measure, but it was coupled with the remarkable fact that the Governor was altogether at fault as to the vote of the Senators, for it is well known that General Tipton did not support the Bill, as stated by the Governor in his solemn official communication. It will be recollected that this Bill provided for continuing the price of lands at $1 2d per acre without reference to quality or situation, and that it provided that all the States (those which had received and used their pulic lands for their own purposes) were to be made equal partners in the division of the monies arising from the sales of the lands within the new States, after deducting 12 1-2 per cent, over and above the amount secured to these States by compact in proportion to their representation in Conrrress. wherebv the old and popI ..I C. 1.1 I I tiJ 4 I uiuus ioiuils wouiu umu ueeu peiumieu iu nave drawn some 2, some 3, some 5, and some nearly 7 dollars to our one, from this fund, which is paid almost exclusively by citizens of the new States. The slave population of the southern states being a part of the basis of their representation, would have come in for its share, and every five negroes draw as much as three free born citizens of Indiana. Tiie State of Now York with 42 Members of Congress would draw 7 dollars, (excepting the per cent.,) while Indiana with nine Members would have drawn but little more than one dollar. To this inequality I was surprised to see the Executive of Indiana ready to acquiesce; butl was more surprised to see him place the Eastern and Northern States as Landlords over the people of the west, with every inducement to keep up the price of tho lands, with a view both to derive large dividends, and to prevent emigration to, and the settlement of the West. The settlement of our State is of great interest to us as a people our population is our wealth our defence and our support from them we derive our political influence as a State, our support as a Government, and by their industry and enterprize, our living, our comforts, and our luxuries. To those who till the soil, is due every consideration of importance, for they are in fact and indeed, the main pillars of the Republic and foundation to society. Is it not then our interest as a people to increase their number, by enabling every man to possess himself a home and a freehold, to make him feel as a citizen, and to twine around him the abiding attachments of his country, which always are visible where a Government is liberal and its people are free and independent. Is it not better that the poor man should own and improve the even refuse lands in our districts, rather than they should remain forests, and he from necessity be debarred from cultivating them? Would it not be even more just and more righteous that where a man has an hundred dollars, that instead of giving it all to the common fund to be divided out among the Stales, he should be permitted to purchase 80 acres of land for $10, and retain the other CO with which to clear and fence a farm, whereon to feed and cloth his family? But there are some who argue that to reduce the price of wild lands, would cause a consequent reduction of the price of improved lands. To this I would reply that so soon as the wild lands around their plantations are entered, then their improved lands will rise in price above the value of the improvements thereon, but seldom will it be the case until then. The more lands are sold the more State and county taxes are paid thereon, and the more tax payers, the lighter the burthen upon all, and the les3 a man is required to pay for his land, the more money will he have left wherewith to pay his taxes. It will be recollected that the principle object for which those lands were ceded to the general government, no longer exists, (the national debt) and that the Bill to reduce the price of public lands actually passed the Senate the session provious to the introduction of the Bill commonly called Mr. Clay's Land Bill. It will be recollected too, that since that time the new states have become entitled to an additional representation. The subject of a National Bank is one of the exciting topics ofthe times, and lest I should be misunderstood on this head, I will observe that I have always been of opinion that a really National Bank, was necessary to carry on, with convenience, the fiscal operations ofthe government, and that such a Bank was also required for the purpose of equalising exchange and facilitating commercial I operations; but the Bank should be such an one as it purports to be; it should be a Banlc of the United States in substance as well as in name; it should be restricted in its powers, limited in its issues, and as far removed from political connexions as guards and checks can remove it. To have the advantages of a sound national currency, it is not a necessary consequence that we should clothe a Banking institution with such powers as will enable it to defy the will ofthe people, contemn the action of Congress, or control the elective franchise of the nation. It should not be set above the reach and authority of the States; neither should it have power to locate its branches in any State without tho approbation and consent of said State. It should not have an exclusive rmht to a monopoly of banking privileges; but Congress should retain the power to grant other charters during its existence, if the situation of the country should require such additional monetary aid. I am opposed to the recharter ofthe present Bank, called the Bank ofthe United States, with the unlimited, dangerous, and exclusive powers which it claims and pos sesses; but would not be opposed to a National Bank under proper and judicious restrictions. I am in favor of a Tariff for the protection of domestic industry and the purpose of revenue. Iam particularly opposed to Nullification in all its bearings, and consider the Union of the Stales as the indispensable bulwark for the prctcction and preservation of the liberties of this Republic. I am in favor ofthe speedy extinction of all Indian title to lands within the State of Indiana, and of the improvement of our harbors and streams on our lake trontier. lo conclude, fellow-citizens, I will remark, that I have been a citizen of Indiana for more than twenty years; that through the kindness of her people I have derived a comfortable living for myself and family, and for whatever of honor and reputation which have fallen lo my lot, I am indebted to their goodness; and I will farther say that all the interests which I possess is identified with vour interests, and that gratitude, duty, and inclination, as well as interest, would promp me to use my best exertions to promote the welfare ofthe State and happiness of the people; and should I be so fortunate as to be placed in a situation where my exertions can be seen arid felt, I can only assure you

that no effort on my part shall be spared which will

conduce to your honor anu me prcspemy or indiana. June, 1S31. J. Iicacl. Washington City, June 23, 1S34. Sir The history of the present session may be given in a few words. It has been little else than a scene of political warfare and strife. Less Legislative business has been done than at any previous Session. The jrreat exciting question has been the Bank and the ueposites. On this single subject, by iai iiiujjicttictpn wu , nloved. It would be useless to enter into details of j this matter. Thev would be endless. Lvery one must, in a greater or less degree, be familiar with the subject: one, which is believed to have agitated Congress and the country, more than almost any other since the days of the revolution. The questions of the Tariff and Nullification, heretofore engrossing almost entirely public attention, have scarcely been spoken of, and that of the Public Land s tint, uccu iuuv tiurtmu uui l' uc u a.;.. 1 nn 1 .hi 11 s r r 1 t i j 111. rss 1 the Session. The fiscal affairs of the country were, agreeably to the Report ofthe Secretary ofthe Treasury in December last, in a prosperous condition. The amount of public debt remaining unpaid, was, on the 1st of January last, less than $5,000,000. This is the remnant of the old debt of the revolution, and the debt created by the late war with England. Our chief sources of revenue is the tarilf; or in other words, duties collected at the custom houses on imported goods: and in modifying the tariif to the diminished wants of the country, the difficult; has been to know where to stop. The business of reduction has been an agreeable employment, and Congress has already gone too tar in reducing the taritf, in passing a second law before a former one r . c ... 1 , c MM- ! effects of neither could be foreseen. 1 his was tho i case last Session, when a second tariff reducing law I was enacted, before the law of a previous Session j had gone into operation, until it has become doubt- j ful whether Congress will not bo under the necessi- j ty of imposing additional tariff duties, in lieu of j those recently taken otF. These reductions were j made to the manifest jeopardy ofthe manufacturers, J and the manufacturing interests, have ever since, j been in a depressed and sicklv condition. Many establishments have already ceased their operations, and their proprietors will no doubt direct their capital into other channels, no longer willing to hazard every thing, in the doubtful experiment, whether the manufacturing interests can live under tho tarilf reducing law of 1833. The reduction of the revenue, and the possible necessity for its increase, has very much injured the prospect of internal improvement. The manufacturers, while protected by a sustaining taritf, were the close allies of internal improvements; for the tariff, while it protected their interests, furnished the means of making roads and canals, which were also necessary to that interest, in tho transportation of their fabrics throughout the whole country. The effects of these causes have already been felt, and deeply felt, in the difficulties experienced in obtaining an appropriation for the Cumberland Boad. Those interested in this road, must have observed these difficulties, and the road will feel them in the fact, that midsummer must pass by, before the work ofthe present year can commence, owing to tho late period of the Session at which the appropriation was made. It will feel them too, in the increased difficulty of appropriations. The amounts this year appropriated for tho progress of tho work, are 000,000 to be expended in the state of Ohio, $150,000 in Indiana, and $100,000 in Illinois. Appropriations have also passed the House of Representatives for the improvement of the navigation of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, and Red rivers. A. bill has passed the Senate, authorizing the selection of Wabash and Erie canal lands, in the valley of the Maumee river, in lieu of lands sold by the United States, which would otherwise have become the property of the canal, in virtue of the original grant of March 2d, 1S07. This bill authorizes the selection of about 80,000 acres for the use of the canal. A bill has passed the Senate making an appropriation of $20,000, to improve the navigation of the Wabash river. The subject ofthe Public Lands is one cf increasing importance. The large sums those lands are now bringing into tho Treasury, make them more than heretofore, a bone of contention. Those who would destroy the tariff, and grasp at every other source of revenue, are more zealous than ever, to retain their proceeds for the ordinary disbursements of Government. The old tariff States, wish the Federal Government to be sustained by the duties on imported goods, and tho proceeds of tho Public Lands distributed among all tho States. Both these classes of politicians are opposed to any change of the land system; opposed to reduction of price, to graduation, and to all advantages to actual settlers. The Representatives of the now States are not entirely agreed in this matter, nor have they power to control it if they were. With few exceptions we all go for the graduating principle, while some would carry that principle farther than others. We an o lor reduction oi tnc price, and lor privileges and favors to actual settlers. In tho details of these principles we might not all agree, but wc have never yet been able to induce Congress to go with him who demanded least, and who would be willin"" to stop first. We all think too, "that in convenient time, this machinery of Land Offices, &c. should be withdrawn from the states, and that the right of soil, and the future disposition of it, should be surrendered to tho States respectively." These principles embrace, it is believed, the whole land system of the President, as set forth in his various messages. Most of these principles I greatly prefer to tho Land hill of Mr. Clay, but wheu no hope of succeeding in any of them remained, I did on former occasions, as I probably would again, vote for that bill. In doing so I have never preferred it to other propositions on the subject of tho Public Lands, but in doing so, I have preibrred it to the system as it is, and as it has been with slight alterations almost thirty years. By the present system, the monies paid into the Land Offices, go into the Treasury of the United States. By the bill all will be paid over to the States; giving also the new States a preference over tho old States, in this distribution of 17 percent, ot the receipts into their own Land offices, being 12i per cent, in addition to that they already receive. Now if we do not adopt some such regulation as this, the Land system remains as it is, and we get no part of the money. I say remains as it is, for every effort to change it for many years past, nas been unavailing, Jjut it we pass the bill tho system in other respects, remains as it is, and tho States get the money. Tho bill appropriates for five years, from and after the 31st December, 1S32, tho nett proceeds of the sales of the Public Lands. One year ofthe term had expired on the 31st of December, 1S33. The amount received that year is known, and the dividend of each State is a matter of easy calculation. The nett proceeds is about four per cent, less than the aggregate receipts. The aggregate receipts for tho year 1S33, are $4,930,510 53, of which sum $093,319 81, was received in the State of Indiana. Jlh per cent of tho nett proceeds of this latter sum is $110,045 70; the amount, to which Indiana would be entitled, cs a primary divi- . -t -i ' i .i dend. Deduct 17i per cent from the nett proceeds ofthe aggregate receipts, and $3,012,091) 10 is left to be divided among the 24 States of tho Union, according to their respective federal representative population, of which sum, Indiana would he enti. tied to $114,102 90. These two sums amount to $2d0,4d 00; the amount to which the Stato would be entitled ofthe monies, which .have actually been

received during the la?t year. Now on the supposition that the present year, and the three subsequent year:1, will bo as productive as tho past year; and the probability is that they will be more so, the dividend to which Indiana would he entitled, under the five years' existence of tho Bill, would be $1,153,743 1)0. In addition to this, the Bill also gives to the State of Indiana, 115,272 acres of land, which at the minimum price would bo worth $ 111,000 00; making the whole amount, to which the State would be entitled by the Bill, agreeably to the lat year's receipts, the sum of 1 ,2073:H 0. I make no cr-

estimating the nett proceeds havmiT the ohice . , .. , ? . "a,4 4, Senate, whatever may have been the provisions of previous Bills, authorizes a dividend ofthe nett proceeds. I have been thus particular in stating the provisions of this Land Bill, and the advantages offered by it to the State, whose interests are entrusted in part to my care, knowing that u difference of opinion exists among the most honest, and intelli gent ot our citizens, m relation to it. and believing 11 11 .... 1 . .... 1 i - . . - my firm belief, that whoever lives to tho 31st December, 1S37, should this Bill not become a law, will see tho Land System as it now is, and the monies paid into tho Treasury ofthe Union, instead of the Treasuries ofthe ti 1 States. The 31st of December, 1S37, is the period when tho Bill would expire by its own limitation. The fear that the p:iss:ige cf this Bill would diminish the prospect of reducing the price, is not well founded. The Bill itself expressly e.xchiJes such conclusion. The Bill, however, is loll among the unfinished business ofthe Session. Another pre-emption law has pased providing, "that every settler or occupant of Public I.aiuli, prior to tho passage of this act, who is now in possession, and cultivated any part thereof, in the vear 1S33, shall bo entitled to all the benefits and privileges provuled by the act ot May UO, 1. 0 . 1 , J , , Which act is revived, and continued in force two years. Bills have been presented, and pressed upon the attention ofthe Senate, authorizing tho Territories of Michigan and Arkansas, to torm for themselves Constitutions and State Governments, and for the formation of the Territory of Wisconsin; but no pUjnon t,j -xml ltli J ' i,.n . laws on uiese suoieets nave been passed, l no noMichigan proper is stated at about ".",- that of Arkansas, between -10 and 50,000. The Bill to attach the Territory uf tho United States west ofthe Mississippi river, and north ofthe statu of Missouri, to the Territory of Michigan, will probably become a law.

Ta n k vyon the subject ofthe resignation eii office as Secretary of th e Trea sury. Washington, Juno 25, 1531. Sik: The Senate having yesterday refused to confirm my nomination, as Secretary of tho 'i 'rea?ury, I beg leave to resign the commission with which you honored me, during tho last recess. It would expire, by its own limitation, at tho end cf the present session of Congress, which is now at hand. But after the appointment has been submitted to the Senate, ami acted on by them, it is due to you and to myself, that I should conform to their decision, and retire at once from tho ofiice. I cannot, however, take my final leave of the ofiicial rclatilions which have" connected me with your administration, without returning my cordial thanks for the many and continued proofs of kindness and confidence, which I have received at your hands. I shall al ways bear tin m in grateful recollection, and am, sir, with the highest respect, Your obedient servant, 11. B. TANKY. The President of the United States.

Knowing that such a station wa3 not desired bv von. nnl w.i in muvwi. lion to your course of "life, I could not but focj grateiul to you, while, in compliance with my invitation, you exchanged tho independence of your professional pursuits, for the labors and respondhileties of tho otlice of Attorney General of the United States. This sentiment was greatly and deservedly increased, during the last year, when upon becoming acquainted with th'i "difficulties which surrounded me, and with my earnest desire to avail myself of your service in the Treasury Department, you generously abandoned the studies and avocations to which your life had been devoted, and encountered tho responsibility of carrying into execution those great measures which the public interest, and the will of the people alike dem andedatour hands. For tho prompt and disinterested aid, thus afforded me at the risk of personal sacrifices, which were then probable, and which have now been realized, I foel tint I owe you a debt of gratitude and regird, which I have not the power to discharge. But, my dear sir, you haveall along found support in a consciousness of right; and you already have a sure promise of reward in the approbation and applause which on intelligent and honest people always render to distinguished merit. Tho plan of financial policy which you have initiated by your acts, and developed in your ofiicial reports, and which has thus far received ihe full approbation ofthe Representatives ofthe Peo ple, will ultimately, 1 trust, Lo carried into com nlpln ulceration, and its benehcinl rlfbrts nn tbe and its benchcial currency of the country, and ihc best interests (Jj society, will be, in all future time, more than an ad-1 equate compensation for the momentary injustice to which you have now been subjected. And as it is the martyrs in any cause, whoso memory is held most sacred; so the victims in the great struggle to redeem our Republic from tho corrupting domination of a great moneyed power, will bo remembered and honored, in proportion to their services and their sacrifices.
