3niiaua legislature. REPORTED FOR THE INDIANA STATE SESTI.NEL. SENATE. Thuksday, January 27, 1943. The Senate waj cal ed tu order, and the journal of the prceeJu.j; oay nad. Uu motion uf Mr. Davi, a bill to amend an act granting to the citizen of Evausville, a cil chatter, was taken up aod um us uuid leading paed. li I it tons presented. By Messr. Osboio, Holloway, which were referred to appiopiute committee Mr. Munay moved to take nr the meage of the Governor, icluiiim a bill to amend an act entitled an act to mcorpoia'e the White Water Valley onal company, with his reason- fur vetoing the same, which carried by consent. Tne bill provided lor the issuing of bond for tbe purpose of jepaiiH'g tue damage done lu ihe canal by the hih water. A c-ll of the Se.iate was had, and all the Senatms beug in iher places, Mr. Waipole said that be opposed to the passage U the bill, and had he been piesent at Ihe time of
its (assae, would have ruled against it, not fur the reasons asgued by t e Governor, but because il gave power to iiue an unlimited quantity ofsciip, foi the bonds weie noihing mute than snip, and he had seen the consequences of flooding the countty with redeemable paper. If h-ouli inut be issued he wanted the iu"i lesliicted in amount, and the pi. per gu ild thiown arund them so as to pievent the holdeiH of Mich Oand fio:n losing and being swindled. Mi. Muipby said that he did not intend to debute the question on the ments of the bill. But he thought that Mr. Witlp-.de was omewhat rnmaken in hi views of the provisu ns of the bill, ll did rotiict the amount of bonds to be issued to what was nece?ary to repiir the can.il, and it wai xpiesly provided that they should not be used a a circulating meiiurn. They weie stuck bouda to be sold to puichaseis. Mr. Holloway sustained the bill in some trma.kf, giving a statement cf the Miuatwu of the woik. lie leretted lhat the Govrinor against o large a majority as appeared in favor of the bill, had thought proper to ve o it, for he Hmughl that witr.out the passjge of the bill, or one simitar in it pio-vi-iui'", the canal could not be repaired, and it wa important to a luge pirtiou o' eaitein Indnm, that the woik should te leptiitd so as to give them facilities far transpoitii g tneir laige amount f suiplus pioduce to an advantageous maiket: he hoped the bill would pass. Mr. AcOry said that he was veiy deirou that the canal should be repaired and it usefulness lestoied. He had opposed the amend neiit by which the mleiest of the State reset ved by the original grant wa to be surrendered to this corpoiation. He bad discovered a too liberal sp'uit in the giant of corporate privilege. A piovison by which the piulit over 5 per cent on ihe moneys expended by the cornpin), are to be paid into the State tieaury w.i repealed. Thi w a a viitual uirendei of over a million of public money to these coiporators. He was opposed to it alo because it removed ie-ttaint from ihe company in repaid to tolls. They might make the tolls exorbitant thi i left solely to the company, if it wa desired it ni;ght be exeicied. And knowing th-t tbe wealth of the Comp my cannot be it creased except at the expense ot the people, he would Dot consent that the people ol tbe .Hey should be left at ihe mercy of ihe company. The dividend might at some ro very distant day amount to 50 per cent on the money expended, and he wanted to have the State have some benefit lr the ! W i
mjiiey she ha 1 expended if such should be the -ae. He had ci.uniy ; by Mi. Hamilton, auihoiizmg the ale of the Libraoihei objection, but in his anxiety to give all needful power .

On leave given, Mr. Terry wished to m;i!o a personal explanation. It was in reference, to the chargo that be voted for Austin M. Foelt fr canal trustee. The charge vai untitle in every particular, und il it originated in malice it met bid scorn if in mistake, Im pitied the obtuüeness) of any one who could so have inisunderistood bis position. The people whom be represented n well "the pocket" generally looked upon the completion of the canal to Evansvilie, u promotive of, ami identified with, their dearest interests and mi intense and auxioud are tbe leeling and interest of my constituents in this measure, that lor three years past they have forgotten their political differences, and merged all considerations of party iu this one great measure to this was lint gentleman who at in the other end of the capilal last winter, indebted for his election to thi nm I indebted for the eat 1 now occupy here, for I ran against a democratic nominee, wilh a whiz opponent in the field, and I would not have been elected
but for a demcratic vote. My constituents regarded the J
elecliou of a oouthern trustee as the surest guarantee and äecurity ol their interests, and I am Ire to avow that to carry out their views, if the contest had been between a southern democrat and a whig not identified with us in interest, 1 should unhesitatingly have voted for the former, lu this question no political considerations were involved. Hut ihe charge that 1 voted for Mr Puett, is silly aud absurd with him, politically, I have no sympathy, and his locality precluded every piobability of my supporting him in any contingency ; in addition to this Mr. 1'ilcher, was aud is my personal and political friend, and from the right quarter.

And when we reflect on the solemn truth, that Indiana furnished a greater number and more valuable sacrifices upon the altur of our country than any other one Stale that was represented upon that bloody Held; mid whilst no praise was too extravagant for the soldiers of other States, no terms were too harsh towards Indianians; And, whereas, too, we regret to find Major (leneral Z.tcharv Tavh.r among thoso lhat havs done us and our br.-ive volunteers injustice, and though ample time has been given, and proof positive, yet has lie failed to correct Ins error: Therefore, De it unanimous tj rcsolcrd by the Grnerul .lsssemblij of the State of Indian : That Major (ietieral Zachary Taylor be, and he. is lierebyjcalled upon to correct and amend hi." otiicrul report f the battlu of Uueua Yi:ta, as the truth and justice to the brave volunteers from Indiana require at h:s.li.md. itrgolccd, That his Excellency James Wbitcomb, Governor of the State.be requested lo transmit a copy of the foregoing to (ji tierol Zachary Taylor, as soon as convenient aller ils pavage.

Mr. Kinney was understood to say, he favored the joint f

The fault of that report was in fact in General Lane, he knew the fact; General Taylor was not to blame. He wished the matter settled ut this time, and should vote j against the motion. j Mr. Lane would favor a postponement of the matter, that proper time ungut De used; aud gentlemen be permitted to prepare themselves. Mr. Drton remarked he wished the matter now settled. Gen. Taylor merely transcribed the report of Gen. Lane; he could not do otherwise, that was the course taken generally for the General in Chief, transcribing the reports of the Generals of the separate divisions he had to bo governed by their reports how then could he be to blame1 Atr tun., .;,) if ti fit. iuiuiiti .-vi, uw.-j juiui i t.uiuuon is to be oasspj jt sliOUj he done right away that it may be in time for tue passajje ol me .enerat to Li .1 .1 . . incinnuti.

I. . . . I C . I . Mr. Mc Donald of Lake, said there was in the joint res olution that which involved the honor of the troops of Ti -uir .... inoiana tne House was not prepared at tins time to act upon it. As a man who liud done manfully he unproved Gen. Taylor h-5 as an lndiani in also honored the sons of Indiana, and was in lavor ot justice being done to them. Now there could be no blame attached to Gen. Taylor, for his first report, but he was bound to correct that report when the proper information had been given him. He had not made that correction. Should we then thank Gen. Taylor for niacin"' u sth'ina unon the fair n.-im of Indiana ' Mr. Dunham rose to continue the debate, but Mr. I'ookerly withdrew his motion, and Mr. Dunham rein-wed the same motion, and remarked it was right while doing honor to General Taylor, to do right witu our Indiana troops. He wished time to be had to show that Gen. Tavlor had not made his report entirely from Gen. Lane, but also from a verbal report made by Col. Howies. It had been said that the report had been made lrom Lol Howies; it will lie recollected, that that re port awarded the highest meed of praise to Col. Bowles. And the records of the country show now that that is wrong. Gentlemen had made statements that showed a mistaken idea of the whole matter and tune should bo had to inform themselves upon the subject. Mi. Meiedith wislo-d the m.ttrer not postponed he hoped ! wie menus m i.en. laylor would pass the resolution now, as the time would soon pass giving him the invitation. He was willing to favoi at any time a Joint lesolution. calling upon Gen. Tay! ii to coirect his lepoit but he could not favor an invitation, aud at the same time holding a dagger lo slab him to Ihe heart. Mr. Kiazier was against the postponement, he should favor a correction of the repoit of Gen. Tay lor, but let lhat be a separate piopositiou. Mi. C"okeily did not suppose this resolution could pass in time to invite Gen. Tayl i to visit th capital befoie the legisUtuie adjiuined. lie did not look upon this mat er in a paity view. He would scoin to piss a lesolution ofiuvita- j tion thiougli a paity leelng. Why should thai be done?! He was ;ili.tid Gen. T-tyloi would never be a candidate! j He shou'd vote for ihe j out resolutt i he I ived Gen Tay- ; loi f'i his coinage, for his natuoiism. for his honesty. He i hon.iied als G( n Sc f; he should move at ihe piopei time an amendun nt inviting In n a'so. Mr. Hiown remnked, that the queti n now before the House was the postponement of the joint lesoluliJii to a day, home ten di) s iteiice. He was -agiuM the postponement if these icsolutions. It was sai l that Gen. Tay lor would during his piesent leave of absence from ihe atmy, viit Cincinnati, and if membeis expect him to visit Indiana, these it-solutions should be passed now ; otheiwise Gen. Taylor could not visit this State while n ihis trip, and could not afterwaids do so in consequence of his return to the army. He intioduced these le-oiutnuis imt as a whig, but as a lover cf ihe saldier and puriot, and as a slight token of giatitude to one, who has served his couuliy long and laithlully. ' It has been uiged that a postponement was necessary, m j Consequeuce of Ihe crowd of business. Will nut business legulaily and rapidly increase with the session? most ceitain- ' ly, business will accumulate, the files of the cleik will be j crowded, and as the session diaws to a elo-e the me nbers i will become almost frantic in legaid to the passage of their ; favoute measuies and wnu d not consent to the use i f time j which would be leguded so valuable under such ciicumslan- j ces, no time then, he lemarkcd, could be so pioperly and eas- j ily spaiel lor the consideration of these lesolutnais a the j piesent tune. It lias been urLtl tliat tili? pustpcneriient should take I place so as ro enable members to deliberate oil and pre pare ihe subject, so lhat alt would b enabled to vote un rlereldiiiiiugly. He answered that these resolutions had been belore the House, and on the files, (or some days. All the members were aware of their existence ; llreir attention li.id been dir-c:ted towards them, and members bird prepared iihüiitutes and amendments in anticipation of the qu stion of their engrossment and passage. What more time was needed? None. The members vvero now prepared and couM express their views, and vote aa unders'.andingly no v, as at any time hereafter. He believed oilier reasons actuated tbe friends nf postponement than li e want of information. The eion could not be protracted; it must he short. If these resolutions be postponed now, it would operate as an indefinite postponeineiit. Were gentlemen willing to vote for an indefinite postponement of i hese resolutions? He hoped not.

Fisher, Pastor of the '2d Presbyterian church, Cincinnati. With Mr. F. I have been several years acquainted at the East. As a lecturer, he 6utains a high reputation. In the various cities of the East, as New York, Albany, (his former place of residence,) B ton, etc., where lie was repeatedly called upon by the literary associations of these cities to lecture, he uniformily drew large assemblies, and was listened to with the deepest interest and satisfaction. I hope we shall give him a good house, or houses, as he is to lecture on both Tuesday and Wednesday evenings of next week. Tire subject" of his Friday evening's lecture is Witliam iVt-t." The lectures, I understand, are to be in ths Presbyterian church. Yours, etc., S. G. S. Aln. C. D.
