session. It would be difficult to follow the House
though its various meanderings, on this bill. Our report of proceedings will show tho result, on the different amendments proposed. As much feeling
was manifested, throughout the discussion, it wouia be difficult for us to give a satisfactory detail of the debates. Mr. Brackeni idge stood foremost on the part of the opposition, in discussing the general Iia hill Mr Smith of Favette. who
ology, butlftft untouched the principles contained had ob'tajnet thc floor wi,en our last paper was
in 11. tie inougni mai we couiu uui ,uao an amendment in this, respect which was'in a better
orm than tht wmch was now presented. ;.. He hela
that the principles of the amendment came in a
most unexceptionable manner. There were two
great fundamental principles embraced in it. 1 he
first was to dispense with the intervention of elec
tors in the choice of the two highest officers of the
government altogether, and submit the choice di
rectly to the People. The next was, to establish
the direct system throughout the whole United
States. The majority to be taken in each district:
as one vote for President and one for v ice President. Another was, that in almost no event, should the election devolve on the House of Representatives. But in the event of twoindividualshavirgan equal number of voles, and no one having a majority, then the election to go back to tho People. And, if after that, there should be no choice, a contingency which would never happen, an event scarcely within the bounds of possibility, the choice should devolve on the House of Representatives.
These, said Mr. B. were the principles of the joint
canal from the National Road in said State, down J resolution. And hc thought itv better to state them t If 11 n 1 mtt - r 1 .1 . . " 1 1 . . 1
the Valley of White Water to Lawrcnceburgh, on the Ohio river. Mr. McCarty suggested that the subject embraced in the resolution had been heretofore referred
to a standing committee. The resolution was then rejected. In Senate Jan. 13. Mr. Hendricks presented a memorial from the General Assembly of Indiana, praying an appropriation by Congress, for the establishment of a line of hospitals on the Ohio river; which was referred to the Committee on Commerce, and ordered to bo printed. H0USC OF REPRESENTATIVES Jan. 13. Hi. Boon, by consent, submitted tho following resolution; which was agreed to: Resolved, That the Committee on the Post Of-
nee ana rosi noaas be instructed to inquire into
the expediency of establishing a Post route from Proctorsville to Mount Prospect, in Crawford county, Indiana.
Mr. McCarty moved to reconsider the vote of
yealerday, rejecting the following resolution, submitted by Mr. Lans:
Resolved, That tho Committee on the Public
Lands be instructed to inquire into the expediency
of appropriating a portion of the refuse public lands,
10 aid tne state ot Indiana in constructing a canal from the National Road in said State, down thc
alley oi White Water to Lawrenceburgb, on the Ohio river.
Mr. McCarty remarked, that when this resolu
tion Was offered yesterday, he was. under the in pression, as he suggested at the time, that the sub
ject matter embraced in it had been previously referred to a standing committee. Upon examine tion, ho discovered that be wag mistaken; and he had therefore moved a reconsideration of the vote; and hoped the resolution would be adopted. Mr. Lane said, he regretted he could not, in justice to himself, accept the kind aid of his good feeling colleague, (Mr. McCarty,) in tho motion he had made to reconaider the vote of yesterday, rejecting the resolution he had the honor of presenting to the House for adoption. That it was his intention to present it anew to the House, locating its commencement. That he had made no effort to carry the resolution on yesterday, after tho statement of his colleague, (Mr. McCarty,) "that the subject embraced in the resolution had been heretofore referred to a Standing Committee." Ho supposed the statement true, for he had not supposed it possible for his colleague, or any other gentleman on this floor, to hazard any statement of which he was not fully apprized. But on examination, said Mr. L., he had become satisfied that no such tesolution, as supposed, had been referred. The resolution under consideration, called for an inquiry into the propriety of appropriating a portion of the refuse public lands to aid thc Stale in constructing a canal from the national road down the valley of White Water, to the Ohio, at Lawrenceburgb. The resolution of his colleague, (Mr. McCarty,) was an inquiry into the propriety of "a grant of each alternate section of the vnappropriated lands on each side of a road, leading from Laurencebvrgh to Fort Wayne in Indiana." Mr. L. said, that upon the route of the road in this resolution for the first 70 miles, so far Jas his information extended, there would not be on either side of said road, one acre of public land to set apart for the road. That the resolution he had the honor of presenting, and which had been rejected upon the objection and statement of his colleague was to aid the State in constructing a canal connecting the national road with the Ohio, passing through the valley of White Wate; the richest, and oldest, and most populous portico of Indiana. The question, said Mr. L., is with the House for their decision; but that be would prefer presntiDg the resolution anew to their consideration. The. motion to reconsider the vote rejecting the resolution, was then negatived. Iw Senate Jan. 16. The following resolution was submitted by Mr. Tipton : Resolved, Tht the Secretary of War be requested to transmit to the Senate an estimate of wLw? .f P00311" br'lge over the river tthe crossing of the Cumberland road; .saalao report as to the practicability of con-
to the Senate, than that they should be read at the Secretary's table. The subject, however, had come
up unexpectedly, several members were out of their seats, but the Senate was in possession of the prin
ciples embraccd in tho proposition, and it W3S his
earnest wish that at the end often years, we might
have a direct vote upon it, and he was ready to
await the action of the Senate. He would not
press the question to-day, if gentlemen did not desire it, but he invited the new Senators to give it L 1 .
uieir consideration ana examination.
Mr. Poindexter said that this subject had been
so long before the Senate, and had attracted such
universal attention here, and among the people, that he would be gratified if a vote could be taken upon it. He was disposed to vote for it, and he believed it was fully understood by the Senate and the people. Mr. Buchanan said he might perhaps feel himself in a different situation from any other member of the Senate, in reference to this subject, having more recently come from the people than any other gentleman present. He did not feel ready to vote upon the proposition, and would be glad to accept the polite invitation of the gentleman from Missouri. He suggested that the resolution might be permitted to lie over for a few days the gentleman might choose his own lime. Mr. Benton then moved that the resolution be laid on the table; which was agreed to. house of representatives Jan. 17. The following resolution submitted on Thursday last, by Mr. Ewing, of Indiana, was considered and agreed to. Resolved, That the Secretary of War be requested to cause the late annual report of ihe Engineer Department to be re-examined iu relation to an alleged inaccuracy in the amount of unexpended appropriations heretofore made to construct the National road in the State of Indiana, and transmit to this House as speedily as may be practicable, the result, together with a statement showing the sum that now remains unexpended, and that which will actually be available for payment of labor on said road in Indiana, during the approaching season. On motion of Mr. Hannegan, Resolved, That the Committee on Public Lands be directed to inquire into the expediency of extending tho benefit of the pre-emption law to all persons who were actual settlers, or had made improvements on the public lands with tho intention of becoming settlers prior to the first day of January, 1S35. In Senate Jan. 19. Mr. Tipton presented joint Resolutions from the Legislature of Indiana, relative to the establishment of a port of entry at Lafayette on tho Wabash. Mr. Tiiton, pursuant to notice, and on leave given, introduced a bill for the relief of Samuel and James Smith; which was read twice and referred. The following resolution, lying on tho table, was taken up, considered and adopted : On motion of Mr. Tipton: Resolved, That the Committee on Pensions be instructed to inquire into the expediency of placing John Smith, of Indiana, on the roll of invalid pen sioners, from the date of his first application for a pension, in the year 1S17. house of representatives Jan. 19. Mr. Kinnard presented ihe petition and report of the Levenworth and Bloomington Rail Road Company, in the State cf Indiana. Mr. McCarty presented the petition of sundry citizens of Henry county, Indiana, for a post route from Knightstown to Pendleton, which, on his motion, was referred to the Committee on the Post Office and Post Roads. On motion of Mr. McCartt, Resolved, That the Committee on the Public Lands be instructed to inquire into the expediency of granting to the State of Indiana, with a view to the construction of a railroad or canal in the valley of he White Water, such of the public lands lying within said state, in the Cincinnati Land District, as have been in market for twenty years, with such other grants in the adjoining districts, as the policy of the country and the advancement of such improvements may seem to said committee reasonab!e,jusl, and proper.
put to press, made a happy effort in defence of the bill, in a speech of about two hours length. Mr. Thompson succeeded in a very beautiful speech, in support of the bill. Mr. Kilgoro next address
ed the House with his usual ability, until late in the evening, when the House adjourned. On Friday, Messrs. Evans, Shaw, Smith of Rip
ley who is an able speaker on tho side of the opposition, Marshall, Bigger, Champman, Nave and Brvan were tho most prominent speakers. The
most prominent action on that day, was the adop
tion of Mr. Shaw's amendment, the adoption of an
amendment, offered by Mr. Hargrove, providing for the Evansyille and Vincennes Rail Road, and the re-consideration of Mr. Shaw's amendment, on
the subject of the Vincennes and New Albany roadnu its ultitnato failure, on the question of adoption."
On Saturday tho amendments, in the report of
the select committee of three, came up for adoption. Our report of proceedings will show the result. That portion of the report relative to stopping the survey ol the canal at Covington, was not adopted, and the bill, now provides for a survey as far down the river as Tcrre Haute. The White water ap
propriation stands at kuu.uiki as originally intro
duced by the committee on canals and internal improvements. Tho Madison and Lafayette Rail
Road project, stands as reported by tho select committee of three that portion of the report being adopted. Tho report of the select committee in reference to the While river survey was also adopted. There being a wish on the part of the friends of the bill, to give a larger appropriation on the Crawfordsvillo and Salem turnpike road, that por
tion ot the report providing lor $100,000 to that object was not adopted. Tho amendment provi
ding tor the Vincennes and Evansvilie Rail Road was also adopted. The report being through, an amendment was proposed in rehlion to tho Crawfordsvillo and Salem road, when the previous question, to indefinitely postpone and lo lay on the table, were respectively called for and seconded. Tho question to lay on the table having the precedence, was first put and decided in tho affirmative; when the House adjourned. On yesterday morning, on motion of Mr. Vandeveer, tho resolution from the Senate, heretofore laid on the table, providing for an adjournment sine die, on thu 1st 'Monday in February, was taken up. Mr. Kelso moved to amend, by striking out the first Monday in February, and inserting Saturday the 7th of tho month. Considerable discuss
ion was had on tho propriety of fixing on a time for !
adjournment, in the course of which itwasaoreed, on the part of some of the friends and opponents of the internal improvement bill, that it should be suffered, so far as they were concerned, to take its
quiet repose upon the table, for tho remainder of
the session. I here appearing to be a partial assent, that the business of the session could not be profitably gone through with, in less than two weeks, Mr. Lockhart moved that the further consideration of the resolution be postponed until Saturday next; which motion was carried in the affirmative, bv a' vote of ayes 42, noes 32. This matter being sa'tisfactorily arranged, the Houso resumed the regular business of the session, with much apparent good feeling and a desire to attend with promptness and energy, to the accumulated buisness of a local and general character which lies before them there be ing on the files of the Hesse upwards of one hundred bills on their second readings. In the afternoon of yesterday, the bill for an extension of the charter of the Farmers and Mechanics' Bank of Indiana, at Madison, after discussion, was, on motion of Mr. Willet, indefinitely postponed, by a vote of ayes 40, noes 33. The bill providing for the State subscription of 5000 shares of stock in the Lawrenceburgh and Indianapolis rail road company, and for a loan, on the part of the State, sufficient to complete the road, by being secured by mortgage, on real estate, on the part of the company, for the payment of tho same in 30 years, was read a third time, and was lost on its passage, by a vote of ayes 29, noes 40. lad.

The Meeting. Our paper, it will bo observed, contains a call for a public meeting, to be held in the Court House, in this place, on Saturday next, the 31st inst. The object of the meeting is to take into consideration the pretensions of Gen. Wm. II. Harrison as a candidate for the Presidency. This is, certainly, a matter in which all are interested, and as tho invitation is iven without distinction, it is hoped there will bo ageneral attendance. Those who make this call, aro actuated by the belief, that in the election of Gen. Harrison the great interests of the country would be promoted. They believe that his talents, his principles, tiis experience, and his eminent public services, give him a fair claim upon the high station to which they propose to advance him. They believe that he would be the President, not of a party, but of the whole country. Believing thus, they recommend him to their feHow-citizens as a suitable candidate for the Presidency. They have, however, no desire to forestall public opinion. They ask an investigation of his claims and qualifications; and if after a free interchange of opinion, it shall be ascertained that these are not well founded, they will submit to the decision, and cheerfully yield all personal preferences.

From the Ohio Farmer. On Planting avvle trees. Mr. Editor: Every
few years we see un article running the rounds of
the papers, stating the tall to be the best tune io set anple trees. Without supposing wo are any
wiser in these matters than our neighbors, wc shall
take the liberty to state, what experience has tought us on this subject. From this, then, we aro convinced, that any time is good for transplanting trees, after the sap descends in the fall, &. before it ascends in the spring. But if trees are permitted to remain only two or three warm days, in the spring, before they are raised from tho nursery , the sap will have started; then to remove them, nature will become stagnated in her npeiations, and it will
take them some time to overcome the chock, if
they ever do. Six years ago, we had a lot of trees brought from the nursery of Mr. Galdthright, Fairfield Co.
A convenience cccidcjitally otfered for bringing them, just at that juncture, when the frost of a rigor
ous winter hud escaped from the ground. On the way, the wcatlier turned cold, and hiving to tarry
all night upon the road, they fioz3 in the wagon.
In this frozen condition their roots were buried in
a trench, and after remaining there some two or
three weeks tfuy were set in the orchard, about the ordinary time for planting trees. Another lot
was set at the same time, which was brought but about two miles, and removed immediately from the nursery to the orclnrd; but they had stood beforo their removal about three warm days, which put the sap to flawing. Now, tho former every one lived, and put forth leaves about as soon as the trees which h id not been removed, while tho latter did not bud as soon by something like fifteen days, and several of them died. For fear they might be neglected too long in thc spring, we should prefer raising our trees in the fall, or in some open spell in tho winter, and burying their roots in a trench, until ihe ordinary time for setting, and then place- them in the orchard, ralher than to place them there in tho fall; for if they are thus placed in the fill, the frosts of the winter aro apt to heave them out of thc ground, and unless you press round in the spring and tread tho dirt about each with your foot, they will not do so well this is apt to bo neglected; but, if attended to, we see no reason why tho fall is not as good as the spring, and the spring as good as the fall, provided tho trees be raised from tho nursery when the sap is down. A very common error in setting out trees, is to let all the tops remain on them. This is wrong, 1st, because the wind catching the lop will shako and disturb the roots; 2d, it increases the quantity of wood to be supplied with sap, and tho roots being cut oQ' cannot throw up sufficient to keep the whole in health, until the process of nature starts
its growth; hence tha tree becomes stunted and injured perhaps ruined. CutolVthe whole top, and tho stock will remain in a healthy condition, until it begins to grow thrifty shoots will then be thrown out, and the tree will flourish vith rapidity. Another error frequently committed, is in setting the tree too deep in the ground. The roots should always be placed within the upper soil. In clay land, they cannot be placed too shallow, so the tree will only stand. Rising twenty years ago, two farmers in this neighborhood, who procured' their trees from the same nursery, planted earb nn
orchard in simihr soil. The one set his trees with a hoe, placing them very shallow in the ground, tho other, with his spade prepared a hole about fifteen inches deep, for tho reception of his. Tho latter orchard made but little improvement for some three years, while tho former proceeded immediately to thrive and grow. On examination it was found, that the rtots of those which wero planted deep, remained perfectly stationary in the cold
clay, while a fresh sjt put forth from the body of
mc tree nearine surwuo oi mo ground. Wo saw an orchard some years since, in Morgan county, nine-tenths of which dwindled and perished, because of beingset too deep. Yours, &c. . C. SPIUNGEU. Muskingum Co. Ohio, Jan. 8, 1530.

experienced heavy drawbacks on their industry ami
skill. Most ot the purcnasers oi piw' -
State, have paid, not only excessive c narges, uui also the most unreasonable per cent, for local endorsers. In a neighboring city, the writer ot this, is informed, thatsomo applicants for accommodations were required to procure two resident indorses, to each of whom they had to pay two I: a hilf per cent, for endorsing. From this monied thraldom, thanks to our state institution, we re about to be relieved, not, however, wiihuui an cflWt to prevent it, on the part of those who have so liberally drawn on the profits of our industry and enterprise. Already has tho mammoth merchants institution at Louisville commenced hostilities already have they tried a
partial rn, under the delusive hope ot curtailing our banking operation, and restricting tho accom
modations ot our merchants and traders to their sido of the river already have they predictc ' tho failure-
and downfall of our banks and alrevJy are Foiao of thos?, most benefitted by our trade, and intercourse, complaining of our currency. Under these circumstances it behooves every friend of Indiana to be u; and doing! Fnergy and unity, is all that i requisite to frujtrato the intentions of these maraudert, on tho profits of our industry! Ltt us confine our trade as much as possible to thoso ph:ca, where re ciprocity of business and feeling exists let our merchants make their purchases cast of the inountainp, and our Hanks furnish funds in New Ysrk or Philadelphia for that purpose tho banks may ns well furnish extern fundi, as permit tho daily specie demand for thoir notes from tho Hank of Louisville. To securo theso funds, and have tliein alwuye ou hand, tho writer of this article, would tuggest, that thc remaining instalment of State t-tock remain in New York, placed to tho credit, and subject to tb order of the several branches according to their proportions by this means checks ea&t, could bo far nished at email premiums, and on better ternie1, than
now obtained. It may bo said that individuals of small capital, could not avail themselves of tbt advantage of eastern purchase, but this may be remedied by several uniting their ie""i t'il lending ono of their number to innlo ihe purehare. Our produce trade to New Orleans, will b amply sufficient to furnUh groceries and cotton, and when turned in that direction, will yield & profit, and give a new impulse to our mercantile and farming interests. The writer of this, is of opinion that
two years perseverance in tho above coursa would
enable our merchants to compete with our neighbors in the wholesale business and finally bring the balance of currency in our favor ho would therefore urge the adoption of these incasurts, not only for the mutual advantage of our farming and commercial interest, but as tho only means, offending ojjfxho nucleus that has formed against us. UOOSIER. From the Miami of the Lake. General William II. Harrkon, is nominated for tho next Presidency, by tho Harrisburgh Intelligencer. We aro not surprised nt this, as we have been expecting a nomination of General Harrison for some time.
