reducing the amount to three dollars ; when

Air. Lemmonds withdrew the amendment. Air. Carr moved that the resolution be indefinitely

postponed, and called for the yeas and nays.

Air. Vandeveer said, he had lieretoiore said noimng

on thi3 subject. This w ould bo an important session,

and the people shoe id be intormed or tnc acis anu uo-

ins of the Logislvure. Ho had always voted ioria-

king papers, and his constituents had approved oi his

course. Uuring me present session, an appoint

ment of representation was to be made, the Canal subject, in connection with the grant of lands made

by the general government was to be disposed oi, and the people should be fully advised of the meas ires

that might be proposed. Uentleinen opposed mis measure on the score of economy. He had known gentlemen who were great economists when a few dollars were concerned ; hut who, on other occasions, were lavish of thousands.

Mr. Edwards suiuv.jrted the resolution, and differed

with his colleague on this question. He h id mistaken the views and feelings of his constituents very much, if they were opposed to this small expenditure. Some gentlemen might be afraid of letting their constituents know their acts; but for his own part, he was willing his constituents should be fully infjrmed of his acts as a representative. Mr. McDonald believed, that if the vote were taken throughout the State, nine out often of the people would be in fivor of being furnished with the papers at the public expense. Air. Carr said, that it was his intention to practise

economy hrc, as well as preach it lrorn the stump. In

The j int resVution instructing our Senators and requesting our Representatives in Congress ti procure the passive of a law extending the prevision of the prce option laws to the settlers on the Mia.ni Reserve; passed to third reading.

Lmiu an I Ein, i i du contested election from Dearborn and Oliio counties; which was made the order of the day f -r thi day. Mr ecre.t addressed the House on the fubject, ami wished an explanation of the reas-ms wliy the committee could not now report, and hoped the chairman woulJ give the explanation. Mr Cruikfthatik explained, and said the reasons were, the papers in the case were not all btfjie the committee, mid Mr Liinus was not present. Mr HurH hoped the tune would be granted, in view of the great importance of the principles involved in the decision of the queation. Mr McDonald addressed the House in fivorof granting th time required, contending the reasons assigned for further timi, were c!ent and sulli.-ient. Mr iSecrest said it was proper he shou!J make an explanation, and that he haJ no pirtia ity, either prs nal or political, between the contesting pirties, but he viewed the law locating a member in a pirlicul.tr part of the county as clearly unconstitutional. Mr Davis hoped the time wmjM bo granted, as it was important that the committee should act understanilingly. Mr Dowliug thought the committee might, by retiring into the committee room, be prepared to report to-morrow morning. Mr Stapp urged the extension of the timo crauted. Mr Lowe agreed with the suegestion of the gentleman

from Vigo, ai d hoped the committee would hive leave to retiie, fo as to be prepared to report to-morrow morning. He had no personal or political preferences to gratify either way. Mr. Roesseau approved of the suggestion of the gentleman from Vigo, and said, as a member of the committer, he believed they would be prepared to report in ten minutes after they met. Mr. Porter contended that it the committee reported to morrow morning, there would not be time to decide the question before the hour appointed to go into the Senatorial election. Mr. Emscau moved to amcnJ the motion by inserting " two o'clock this afternoon," and that the committee have leave to retire immediately for the purpose of making their report.

Mr. Vandeveer moved to di?char;e the committee, and take a direct vote on the subject, without waiting for any rrport. Mr. Sleetla took the came view of the suljert. anJ said the facts were few, and the i?sue plain and fimple ; and could be as easily decided without a report as with it. Mr. Vandeveer urged the importance of an immediate decision, as the election of U. S. Senator might be rendered nugitory in caso the aucccs-ful candidate sucreedcJ by a

tingle vote, at d that one, perhaps, an illegal or e. Sir. M'Donald contended that the Houe was not prepared to vole en the qursti n. and hoped its decision would not be pressed upon mciihera with ut due d 'liberation.

I. nie m entitled, and he admitted a scat in this Houp, as a inenihcr thereuf, to the exclusion of nid Win. I.aniuo. Mr. Stapp addressed the IIoue. at length, in committer of lIlO whole, in nfl .ihh speoc h, in favor of the lisiht 'f the sitting member; sind, whew concluded, the committee rose, and through its t h airman, Mr. Puller, reported progress, and asked leave to sit again. The House then udjoiirned. A I'TF.RNOOS ST.SS10S. Th- Speaker laid before the I louse a communication from the (iovcrnor, enclosing the Report of the Visiter of the State I'.ison; which, being read, öOO copiea were ordered to be printed. The special order of the day for 12 o'clock being the fJovertmr's message, the House went into committee of the whole, Mr. Pennington in the rhair, to consider the same; when its various propositions were referred lo the appropriate committees. The committee, having got through, rose, reported progress through its chairman, arid asked the concurrence of the House, and was discharged from the further consideration of the message. The Houso then again resolved itself into committee of the winde on the contested election case, Mr. Puller in the chair. Mr. Rousseau read the clause of the constitution relating to the qualification of members, to show that instrument required no other qualification, as to resilience, than that the member 'h all reside within tho limits of the county," and that consequently no new prerequisites of qualification, stich as residing in a particular portion of n county, ran be legally and constitutionally superadded by the Legislature, whilst acting under its provisions. Mr. R. then quoted from Judge Story to prove that the law bearing on the ense Was properly construed by him ; and contended that the Legislature hadijust as much right to stay that no man should bo elected unless be weighed i2X) lbs., or was of a certain height, or lived on a particular farm, or possessed some other arbitrary personal characteristic. The principle, he continued, was perfectly absurd, nnd if carried out luto practice, would destroy every thing like republican atid representative government. The Legislature had no right to interfere with an apportionment law once established, except in the manner, and at the stated periods named in the constitution. The principle contended for by him was, that if a member duly elected possessed all the qualifications required by the constitution as prerequisites to eligibility, the Legislature cannot add to those prerequisites by any arbitrary additions of its own. Air. Porter maintained tint when the Legislature was

not prohibited by the Constitution in express terms from doing an act ncccssaty ar d proper to be done, it must, of necessity, post.es the power. There was a great difference in construing language in the negative and language in the afiirmhtive, where found in the Constitu

tion. Although he bad a great respect for the opinions of

Judge Story, it should be bornen i mind that, in the pas

sages quoted, he cites to no authority and refers-to no decisions, and merely gives his emimnn Wherever the

Constitution does r.ot take away a rower, that power must

of necessity exist in the Legislature ; ami Mr. I, therefore

contended that the Legislature had a rerfect right to pass

the act erecting a portion of Dearborn into a new county,

and making provision that one of the members ta which

limits of the new county created cut of a portion of its

territory. Desides, the circumsfr.i;ce of all the Departments of our flovernment in the constitutionality of the law, should admonish us to be cautious how we declare a

law rassed under such sanctions, an i legal nullity. Mr.

P. spoke at length, and fortified Ids v.ews by referring to

legsl authorities. Mr. Carr addressed the House at length. Ho assumed the position that, as the eon:itntin does not prohibit changing representative districts ;it any time, and that the law of should govern in tbi ea. lie contended that to count the vote given to .Mr. Lane in Dearborn county against the vote cast for Mr. Lanius in Ohio county, was a fraud upon the constituents of the latter gentleman. Mr. Cox also spoke at much length, and contended that, if Mr. Lane was entitled to a vote in the county of

Dearborn, at the August election, (winch no one doubted.) it f dlowed as an indisputable ftct, that he must, of necessity, have been qualified to represent its citizens in the Legislature.

Mr. O. snid all lzilative authority was. bv the 1st section of the ld article ol the Constitution, vested in the fleneral Assembly, and tlo reimininj; eetious were limitations of that power. He then eornp sr.r.l and quoted the dilfercnce iu the phraseology ef sections 2. 3 nnd -I in rthtion to Hepresentalives. ''several cotintie," and "county," and "each county;" with sections ,r. ( ami 7, where, speaking o Senators, it srn, "eonntis ni dis'rict!"." lie referred to the 5th nnd Olli ol lilac Lf ml, and to other authorities to show that unles th uneontitulion ility of an act be so o'jmous as to admit of no doubt, then it is constitutional. Mr. (). ridiculed the ib: of a strictly liberal construction of tiie constitutional provision under considerati'n. It would lead to the absurdity, that the union ol t-.vo or more counti' i-i one representative district, is clearly uneemstitution al, becnu, of necessity, the representative of such distri' t cannot hi a resilient ol more than one county composing the same; and yet, if the repiei ntative nrit reside within the limits ef the county he represent, how can he do so in districts composed of two or more counties ? A literal construction of the phrase, 'must he a resident within the limits of the countv," would make all such districts unconstitutional, nnd

deprive many counties of representatives on tho floor of

lh:s I Inns.

Mr. O. said that there was a great ddTerence between

that too at his own individual expense. He was willing to devote a few days compensation to disseminate information amongst his constituents, and he thought e-entlerncn should do likewise; hut he was opposed to making this expenditure from the State treasury. The question was then taken on an indefinite postponement, and decided in the affirmative yeas öS, navs

So the further consideration of the resolution was

indefinitely postponed.

Mr. I lazed ri"if olft red a resolution providing for ta

king two hundred copies of the Journal, and one hundred copies of the Sentinel, and one hundred ceipies

Air. .McDonald moved to reject the resolution.

Mr. H izelrio said, that he had done justice to

.Mr. Sleeth again addressed the House, in explanation ef Iiis iews. -Mr. Vandeveer suggested that his f iend from Jefferson, fil he had not yet had lime to prepare a speech.) might reserve his remarks for the rbe of the debate ; and, as closing speeches were the most cllVe live, he would have the advantage in that re spect. He liked to hear the entleman speak very much, as he generally spoke very

l prettily, but he did not wish to delay the decision of this

qtn'stiioi lor that purpose. .Mr. Osborn said the O'iestion was, whether the Legis

lature, under tho iid article ed' the Constitution, had the

latter clause, there is an express rese rvation to the people

and to the States of nil power not expressly nnd specifically enumeratid nnd granted away ; but no such reservatio! in our State constitution. Mr. O. quoted various

charge his duty in a conscientious manner, and accorJing to the best lights he hvl. Mr M'Dona'd said that all Legislatures were mere creatutes of the Constilu'ien under which they acted. The peop!e are the original source t f all power, and their will should be faithfully can i d out by their fcrvant. The

power to go beyond that instrument, and dire'ct to be done I ot,iy matter lo be argued before this committee as to what is nt expressly provided for in the instrument. For i wnether the Legislature has the power to designate the his part, lie was not prepared to say whether it had or p0rljan 0f a representative district from which a member not ; but was persuaded the House was as we ll prepared ; . j c'PCted. Thi is the question, and it is the dis-

question nf constitutional law purely, and members must act upon it purely in a judicial capacity, according to their views of elutv nnd ef law. Mr. IVnnington" said, Irom all the information he had, the question appeared to be purely a constitutional one. He did not think a district eou'ld be constitutionally rhanged. During the live years alter the period provided for taking the State census, and be had also his doubts ef the constitutionality of sliding members. This being his opinion, he believed that portion e.f the law providing for organizing Ohio county, which made it necessary that one of the three members to be elected from Dearborn should reside within the limits of the new county, was clearly unconstitutional. He theieforc was ron-vince-d the member having the highest number of the popular vote was clearly e ntitled to his seat. Mr. Clvmer, although not a constitutional lawyer, was compelled, as a member of the House, to vote upon this question, and he should do fo, endeavoring to obey the i onstitution which he was sworn to support, as he understands it. lie was compelled, therefore, to difTer with the venerable gentleman from Harrison as well as with his friend from Laporte, on this question; and, as the constitution contains no prohibition, he did not see why the Legislature had not the power to designate the portion ef a county in which a member tdiould reside. lie believed the sitting member was clearly entitled to his

scat, and he should so vote. Mr. Slater contended that Dearborn county, ("which he had the honor, in part, to represent.) was clearly entitled to three members, and such was the universal belief amon the people ed' that county; and he hoped the

House weiiibl so tleeide. The question was taken on discharging the committee, from the further consideration of tho question, and carried. On motion of Mr. Vandeveer, tho House then resedyed itself into the committee of the whole, Mr. Fuller in the chair, for the consideration of the subject. Älr.
