What the cause of this agitation of his bile can be, we can hardly imagine, unless it lies in the fact that our reporter saw proper tu take notes of the debate on the Mexican trophies presented to the State by ('apt. Si:n sm, an 1 on the resolution inviting Gen. Tavlor to vi?i: the S:.iJ and because we saw fit lo publish t'ioe reports. If th-i publication ef such matter makes our paper a naisince t( -Mr. Prather's constituents, the f-iuit is not ours. Our desire is to give true report of !he legislative proceedings tor the information if the people, whether agreeable to ourselves and the pe-.ple or n r. This was the reason fir publishing the debates alluded to, notwithstanding certain members hoped they would not be publ.shed, and notwithstanding they were so distasteful to us that we fit bound to express our dissent from their scope and character in very mihi terms. The State Journal, it 13 true, thought it expedient to pass the debates

., , , , 1 in-'- inr, iiuu 11.1 Li-iiuiiurii ui Di'Limuii i ,111 uuu inover in silence; but whether because on the ground j th;n,, l() tlie inlenMf the h,)110 or lrut. g,ory ()f the of their being a general nuisane?, or merely a nuis- ; country ; our Senators in Congress ate instructed and ana to the whig party in particular, we are unable uor Representatives requested to vote against grantto siv. It is perhaps very fortunate for the people of, in-f uPPlie, i either men or money f r the prosecuJenrungs county that Mr. Prather, voluntarily setting ! io" ot",e War j bu,1 l FilhJ'tl' t American army ,r ' m - 0 1 from Mexican to American soil, and tender to the himselt up as a Censor of the? Press for their benefit, j .Mexican Government a pe .ee honorable alike to both will hereafter keep them free from all risk of contami- nations a peace in the spirit of that noble magna-

nation by the State Sentinel, by withholding the few , conies at his disposal from rirrnlntirm mnniiir tl.nm. i TV should have a sufficient decree of confidence iti ' t, , , . . e ...... jui -uicm, 10 hum ui'ii -euer-j ally with the reading any newspaper, and with the fullest reports of the proceedings of the legislature, and any comments thereon ; believing that they possess the power and ability of proper discrimination. It is an attribute of weak and tyrannical, not say dishonest, minds, to evince a fear of free discussion, and a disposition to hedge the people within the circumscribed boundaries of prescribed influence?. We have ordered Mr. Prather's note to be put in type verbatim, because we do not fetl called upon to correct errors or supply deficiencies in notes which outrage, as his does, the common courtesies which should always govern the conduct of gentlemen. He is welcome to take all the credit to be derived from it, uncorrected or corrected. Had it not been for the unusual solicitude which he manifests for his constituents, we should pass it over in a silence quite as profound as that maintained by the Journal in regard to the debates in question. Mr. Prather's constituents, however, should know, that though he is not at home to direct them what to read, and what avoid; nevertheless he lias a careful eye upon them, and is not disposed to let them see any thing which is distasteful to him. They certainly will appreciate his anxious solicitude. CO" We understand that several whi members of the House of Representatives were quite wrathy at the short notices in our paper of Saturday, alluding to their course upon the Mexican trophies and the invitation to Grn. Taylor to visit the State. This is an evidence that ti e shots told, and we hope they will have the desired effect. Rut if they are so wroth at us, what will they say to the following much severer remarks from a Whig Editor! Mr. F. A. Thomas, the jirfuor editor t,f the Vincennes Gazette, who has beer on a visit Vt this city, thus writes to his Daner j - r - under date of Jan. 14th : The legislature, it is true is sitting, but bah ! the deliberations of that body are upon such trivial subjects, and upon nutters mi wh lly f. reign !o its legitim it act. on, and conducted too in such inferable taste .A' Weak and silly numbers, anxious to cut a figure and hear th'-tns .kes tilk, as to make an attendance in its hjlis a perfect bore. " R member, this is said by a W'u'g editor. Mr. Wither should send him a note, certainly, and declare linn a decided nuisance ! 07" The four cases of small-pox or varioloid, which we have heretofore mentioned, have all recovered. A fifth has occurred in the western part of town, which is said to be worse than the others, and may prove fatal. It seems a Utile ftrange to us that the Board of Health have adopted the handbill form of publishing their reports. If general information be the end in view, it appears to us that the newspapers would be rather a better medium than a few scattering handbills. jjWe regret that we were unable to attend the exhibition of the pupils of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum, which was given a few evenings ago. But we are told by some who did attend, that the exercises were in the highest degree creditable to teachers and pupils. A sketch of the history of the asylum, from the pen of a correspondent appears in another column.

Tin; 31 rx ion u War.

Un Saturday afternoon, in the Senate, the following joint resolutions, in relation to the Mexican war, which had been offered by Mr. Holloway of Wayne a d:iy or two previous to the Whig State Convention, at which he was appointed one of the wi.ig electors for President and Vice President, came up on their second reading, to-wit : A Joint Resolution relative to the Mexican War. Whertas, an aggressive and unconstitutional war exists between this country und .Mexico, by an assumption of arbitrary power bv the president of the United States, and the wanton abuse of his adminis tration of sound moral and political principles, placing the country in a dangerous crisis, which is well calculated to excite I lie fars of every patriot for the permanency of our National Union, and the perpetuity of our Republican institutions, and Whereas, we regard the true policy of this ftatimi to be peace with all the world that wai in itself is a great calamity to be avoided if possible ; and above all a war of aggression upon other nations can only lead to renltsi destructive of public virtue, and the best interests of the republic, and Whereas, wc regard the existing war with Mexico as unnecessary, and uncilled for Dy the true interests or honor of the country commenced by the President of the UnitedStates by an invasion of t tie territory of Mexico, in violation of tue constitution, and by shedding Mexican blood up m Mexican soil; and further, we regard the invasion made in pursuance of the President, dated the 13th January 1S1G, as in itself an act of war, and in the lanun-ie of Senator Benton, "as an unjust war" "a war unconstitutionally made" and W he reus, Notwithstanding the repeated declarations cf the Executive of the United States, that con

quest was not the object in commencing or prosecuting i understood amongst democratic Senators, that to prethe war, yet in Iiis late message he declares "that we ' vent the waste cf public money, no discussicn should

should secure and render available the conquests we have already made' "that wc should hold and occupy by our naval and military forces, all the forts, towns, cities and provinces now in our possession, or w hich may hereafter fall in our possession" "that we should press forward our military operations," until M exico will consent to the dismemberment of her empire, or the surrender of her whole country and Government to the United States ; therefore 11': it rtsnuej bu Vit (istural Asstm'u of the State. of Indiana, That it is the deliberate conviction of immediate representatives of the people in this State. that ihe annexation of any additional territory of '"-i-i' ij im.- viii'-ii um on iv orj piuuiiLini: oi me tin mischievous consequences, seriously threatening its perpetuity, an 1 that we are firmly and unalterably opposed to any such annexation a the fruit or result of tiie .Mexican war, either directly by conquest, or indirectly as a payment of indemnities, or the expenses of the war; but if additional territory be f rced upon us, or if it shall be acquired by the Governtie tit in any tonn, or under any pretext whatever, "tiifre snoiild neither be , Iaverv nor involuntary . servitude therein, otherwise than tor the punishment ot crimes.

Mr. Uerry, of Monroe, moved to- amend by strikin out from the hrst resoIvmr clause, and insert as follows "That it is the solemn and deliberate conviction of this General Assembly, that th existing war with .Mexico is both just and honorable on the part of the United States ; that it was ngiilfully and constitutional!, commenced, and that it ou'ht to be prosecuted with vior until we obtain an honorable peace, and ample indemnity for the past and security for the future. Resulted, That we feel it our duty to repel as a slander to tiie olhrers and sold ers composing our gallant army in Mexico, the most .f whom have volunteered for the service, any imputation that they are eni:a;ed in an unjust and unconstitutional war, und that we look unonsuch irnuutatioti onlv as an attemnt to cover over in shame and obloquv the rr.euiory of the brave men who have fallen upon'the fields of Mex- , j r ICO. Resolved, That, when our country is engaged in a real and bloody conflict with another nation, we should deprecate te se' one of tin: great parties of the United Slates arraying themselves in opposition to their country's cause: and that publk men, and t at portion of tiie public press denouncing the present war in unmeasured terms threatening to withhold supplies of men and money for its vigorous prosecution representing to our enemies in an open manner that our public servants, although elected by the free and unbought suffrages of the people, are weak and imbecile; that our national treasury is not only empty, but our resources exhausted, and that no more volunteers can be had for the service, do their country great injustice by not only dishonoring its character, but by prolonging the war n giving encouragement to our enemies, and causing more blood to be shed than would otherwise become necessary. Resolved, That we view the present as the war of all parties, having hern recognized by all parties in the commencement, and fought by all parties, and that the prompt manner in whicn the late Congress in the Hrst. instance, bv an almost unanimous vo'e, appro priated ten millions of money, and authorized fifty thousand volunteers for its prosecution, deserves our highest applause, and gave evidence that the nation's honor was safe in their hands, and that they wisely nnd properly intended that we should, as has been done, vigorously carry our conquests even into the heart of our enemies' country, until they were willing to conclude an honorable peace. Resolved, That .Mexico Iris provoked the present war with the United S'ates by plundering and murdering her citizens despoil ng her commerce for a series of j ears by an insulting rejection of her diplomatic agents, and all overtures for the amicable adjustment of the difficulties; between the two Governments, and finally by an audacious invasion of her territory, and the shedding of American biood on American soil ; and that the people of Indiana, as uereioiore, win be found zealously supporting the ...11. in ,,1 imjir courury, anu rallying arouuu tne of our Senators and Representatives in Congress Mr. Robinson of Ripley sneeringly asked, who drafted this amendment 1 Mr. Berry replied, it was a gentleman on that floor.

At this point .Mr. Walpole uttered a lorrtnt of!

Mr. Millikin subsequently explained, that the courtesy of some democrats hnj suffered the whigs to discuss tne ret-olutions, contrary to on agreement, ns he j be had on the war resolutions; that ns the two sets !of resolutions had been introduced by electors of the I respective parties, both parties should be compelled to I vote square up on their resolutions that parts of ! three days had already been consumed, and tiie whigs ; had still evaded a direct vote, and, from the course of gentlemen, in permitting discussion, they could be able to do it ijrain. The vote on striking out, alrea- ! dy taken, he believed was the best vote that could be extorted from the whigs. He hoped now the usual j business of legislationvould pi ogress. j 07- The following letter perhaps should have been ! published in the report of the proceedings of the late DptnocMitic S:.ate Convention; but it was not considered necessary by the Secretaries, and was omitted to avoid swelling the report.

This, subject being at this time agitated to koh.c extent, not only among the people at iarjje, but in the legislature; und being a nieiube r of that body, I have thought it not out of place to give a concis expression of my views on that subject. . It will be admitted by all, that indivh uais in moderate circumstances have less incentives to thu com

' tion of our fellow citizens upon whom the miseries incident to human nature are permitted to fall most j heavily, namely, the destitute and oppressed, what i are the scenes that continually meet our eve? How is it that we see families who for years have enjoyed the coinlorts of home, and the society of friends, with whom the associations of years have operated to produce an attachment deep and strong, to the fireside of their ancestors, and to the dwelling where the joys and the sorrows of life were experienced, each successive transition but bind;ni with more firmness the tillections to the place of their birth, or long continued residence .' How often is it, i repeat, that we see such families driven, by the stern mandates of the law, heart-broken, from the spot where 211 the tender associations of domestic happiness cluster; driven upon a cold, unfeeling world, without a home, or perhaps a friend ! Virtue long practised and cultivated, yields to desperation. Thrown promiscuously upon society, and every domestic tie dissolved, many persons, and especially the young, but commence a career that ends in misery, prostitution, or crime. But, beyond and above all these considerations, ther-3 is still another object to be nttained by the passage of a law exempting homesteads from execution : namely, the preservation of our free institutions. It is felly fr any peitiou to suppose that our institutions, so much beloved by all, can be maintained without an elloit. Legislative enactments must be made with a view to accomplish thatureat object. The history of past republics warn us of the fate of our own.

Thus it is that the political jobbers gain time, ; while they may wait for popular demontrations. j 'Itie proceedings of ihe House have been without ! special interest. Tne Ways and Means Committee have reported the loan bi1 for twenty-three millions, 1 believe, and it is to be printed. i The Senate has under consideration a joint resolu- ' tion to create a Board to examine into the amount of I tiie claims of our citizens against the Republic of j Mexico, as recognized by the treaty of February, lsfi, between the United States and Mexico, as we'll . as tlose claims which may have occurred since that j time. This joint resolution was originally reported by Mr. Johnsuii, of Louisiana, and it has been proPosc1 by Ir- Sevier, of Ark., to amend the proposition so ns to provide agaftist anv endorsement of these , . , 1 n . .... - - , ... . A. clams by the government ot the united btates. Now, . J I 11 ls known that majiy citizens ol Mexico, whose I J busiu'ss has been interrupted by this war, have large claims, against their government, which they arc ready to sell at veryow prices: and it is thought by the.t.trms of the bill now sought to bepassed, these claiiqV which can be obtained for aluihst nothing, would become as good as par in the hands of citizens of the United1 States And it is thought that the atnou it of them might be easily raised to four or five hundred millions : and thus constitute an element in clainufor indemnity on the part of our Government, whicl would otlset the territory of all Mexico. But the cfect may be only to sink the honest claims with the spurious ones. Hardly anything has yet transpired with reference to this subject, except it may be, that y.r. Trist, since the Government has nothing i more fir him to do, has turned hand into this specu lation. D. Sr. Louis, Jan. 23, IS 18.

In your report of yesterday's proceedings, upon the joint resolution inviung Gen. Taylor to vi;t Indianapolis, you represent me as saving that I 4,was in favor of a correction of Gen. Taylor's report, but let that be a separate proposition." Thi is incorrect. I said not a word about General Taylor's report, but in reply to those who advocated a postponement of the subject, upon the ground that they were not now prepared to discuss it, I merely suggested that when the joint resolutions came up on their third reading hereafter, members wishing to debate them would have had time to prepare ; and I pledged myself that so far as would be in iny power they should have every reasonable opportunity to discuss tiie bubject to their heart's content. JAS. S. FRAZER. Lutheu's Makuiaoe. Catharine Von Hora was a noble girl, of noble birth, who, having fallen in love with a poor student tf Nurembeig, had been condemned by her parents to the cloister. Escaping with right of her companions, afler some years, took refuge at Wirtemberg. Here Luther became attached to her. With a sense of justice rather unusual in a lover, lie wrote to the Nuremberg student "If von desire to obtain your Catharine Von Bora, make haste before she is given to another, whose ehe almost is. Still j ... ari I I should be delighted to see you united.' ; J -,J" ; r --e, nn.-t uuci, iutiier ruarrieu ner. in uns union ne was most happy; the details of his domestic life are full of sweetness and tenderness. We fchould like to know how long Luther waited for en answer from the old lover. We could then form a better estimate of his "sense of justice,' as well as patience. We should hale to wait long in a similar case, wouldn't vou, reader ! Easily DisrosED of. The Athens (ia.) II mner does not see anything in the incorporation of -Mexico so terrible : 'Tiie bugbear of incorpt ration with the rights of citizenship is easily avoided by putting the Mexicans under the Indian jmiicy. The New York Ilvenin Post is right in regarding them ns Indians nothing but Indians. Whatever the quantity of the territory of such bad neighbors we should occupy may be regulated by past experience in our intercourse with the Aborigines the Mexicans, like them, having their local laws and tempoiary abides assigned, but sifting out by the law of caste, which will either exhale them or drive them to South America, as certainly a it has carried the Indians beyond the Mississippi
