TO THE PEOPLE OF INDIANA. Wabhixotox, March 6, 1835.
FelloT-CUizens: The second session of the 23d Congress has come to a close; and according to the wholesome usage which has long prevailed, I erabrace "the opportunity to address to you some general reflections on the existing state of our public affairs and present a brief outline of the results ot Congressional Legislation during the past year. I feel happy in being able to say that the session of Congress which has just terminated has not been characterized by the same bitterness of party feelin which has unhappily prevailed in our public councils for some years past; a fact in which every : true friend of our country cannot but rejoice; yet it must be added that as much has not been done to j promote the public welfare, as our constituents at j the commencement of the session had a right to ex- j pect, i Bills were early introduced into the Senate for improving the navigation of the Wabash river; for ! continuing the Cumberland road through the states of Ohio, "Indiana and Illinois; to grant a right of way to certain rail road companies through the public lands in Indiana; and a resolution to establish a port of entry at Lafayette; but I regret to say that the bill for improving the navigation of the Wabash, and the bill granting a right of way to the rail road companies, although they passed the Senate, were finally lost, by being left among the great mass of tmfimshed business in the House of Representatives.
The bill appropriating $100,000 to continue the

wards making provision for having the proposed work
carried on during the present seasion. Much of the time of the Senate was consumed in preparing and maturing bills to regulate and reduce the expenditures in the Post Office Department; to reduD the number and regulate the pay of the oSi-
cersof the Customs; and to extend the benefits of
the Judiciary system of the AVeatern States. Cer tainly its time and labour could not have been devo
gtd in tha rivr trade. But further reflection has
J convinced me of its impartance to every one of you. We are but a section of the Western Valley.
The market prices of goods m Iew York, and ot produce and groceries in New Orleans, regulate the prices of goods, groceries, and produce, at our own doors. We pay for articles we purchase, a price made up of first cost, expense of transportation and
! merchants' profits. Our produce at home is worth
the market price at JSew Orleans, diminished by the cost including freight, risk, trouble, &c of transporting it thither. As competition has reduced merchants and traders' profits to an average per cent., the only changeable item is expense of transportation. The obstacles in the navigation of the Ohio, now increase the cost and risk o' bringing to us goods and groceries, and of carrying from us our own produce. In the first case, they tax us by increasing the price of what we buy, and in the se
cond, by diminishing the price of what we sell.
The expense and risk of transportation depend mainly on the obstacles presented in the navigation of the Ohio river. Long since has the General
Government acknowledged the propriety of remov
ing these obstacles. Fifty thousand dollars have
been annually appropriated for removing sawyers
pendant ten veari airo. And the current xpemli- earlieit treaties in which tha principles of free j SruiN. Il tlio general impression that th
turns of the Government are stated to have been trade, reciprocity, and the rights of neutrals, were
in 1833 much greater than the current expenditures of 1835, This report, and the measures by way of remedy proposed, have produced animated discussions, but do not promise to he productive of any particular result. The subject will probably be exhausted in ministering food to party appetite.

clearly laid down, was that concluded between the two countries in 17S5, through the Agency of Franklin, Adams and Jefferson, on the part of the United States. It was renewed in 1700, aud those

by the last treaty of 1828. The exertions of the enlightened gentlemen who are now charged

September next. I pongratulate every friend of the State upon the commencement, with such fair prospects, of a system of Internal Improvement, which, I have no doubt, will promote the best interests of Indiana. Application has been made to the President to furnish an Engineer to conduct the surveys authorized by an act of the last General Assembly; and Col. Stansbury, an officer of merit who has heretofore been engaged in surveys in our State, has been detailed for that service. Whilst it is right and proper to prosecute our local worloR by our own resources, it is but just for us to claim the assistance of the national funds in the construction of works national in their character. That the improvement of the navigation of the Wabash presents a claim of this kind upon the General Government, cannot in my opinion be doubted; no nne, therefore, need despair of ultimate success; the ballot box is the sure corrective of the disappointments we have experienced on this subject. Gen. Tipton here notices the difficulty between this government and France, which, as it is pretty well understood by our readers, is omitted. In conclusion I am happy to be able to state that I have received from our chief Magistrate the most positive assurance that no efforts shall be wanting on his part to secure to the people of Indiana the peedy extinction of the Indian title to lands within the limits of the state; and from the progress already made in the benevolent design of securing to our aboriginal tribes, a safe and independent home beyond the bounds of white habitation, there is every reason to hope that those unhappy and misguided people will soon become convinced of their true interest, and led to embrace with alacrity the beneficent, offers of the government for their permanent happiness. Your most obedient servant, JOHN TIPTON.
minished; and, if strongly urged on the next Con
gress, it will probably succeed. The applications for grants of money and public land, to aid in improving old, and opening new channels of communication through our State, have not been successful. Doubts as to the system to be eventually adopted, touching the public lands, have prevented decisive action on those in which you are immediately interested. The bill providing for surveys some of which are in Indiana and the appropriation for continuing the construction of the Cumberland Road in our State, were passed. It gave me great pleasure to unite with my colleagues in supporting the bill providing for the improvement of the Wabash river. I honed that the constitutional objections of the President might have been obviated, by making Lafayette a port of entry. Our opponents succeeded in defeating this, with no other apparent purpose than that of affecting the President in the good feelings of his Waba.sh friends. I deeply regret to 6tate that the bill reducing the
price ot the public lands lias not passed. Justice to
the western States requires its speedy adoption.

3IU. LANE'S CIRCULAR. Extracts from the circular ofMr. Lane to the citizens of the 4th congressional district, issued from Washington city, March 4, 1835. Among the subjes of immediate interest, is the Post Office Department. A scrutinizing examination into its operations has exhibited many errors and abuses, arising from defects in the original organization of the Department, which have been brought more fully into view, by the great extension of the Post Office business. The Committee, to which I had the honor to belong, reported a bill remedying these defects. Although this bill has been defeated for a time, it will certainly be adopted at an early period of the next session; and will prevent abuses, without any curtailment of important benefits. At the same time that the Postmaster General has energetically applied himself to improve the financial conditiou of the Department, he has

I have united with them on nearly all the measures of general interest; and it gives me great pleasure to bear witness to the ability and fidelity with which they have discharged their duties to their constituents, and to the country, and to the kind feelings they have exhibited towards myself. To this remark Messrs. McCarty and Ewing are necessarily exceptions. The origin and progress of the disagreeable discussion between f Krt rr onrl mcol f n rr Ir i r t mi T inn i

This was happily prevented by the refurI ence of the whole affair to mutual friends, by whom it was adjusted. Of ?tr. Ewing I took no further j notice, than his official position rendered necessary.

The bill fixing the northern boundaries of the States of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, did not propose any new boundary for Indiana, but proposed to sanction ihe survey and designation of that boundary, made under authority of an act of Congress. The northern boundary of the State is fixed and settled, as permanently as the lws of Congress, and the constitution of tho State can establish it; and no further legislation is necessary, as to the boundary prescribed by the law of Congress and the constitution of tho State. A law has also passed making an appropriation for topographical examinations and surveys. This
