rrti TioiLAWcr n the raicg or himtt. INDIANAPOLIS, DrCESlDER 4, IS15. ' ; - - i Tbc Governor's Message. We publish tlii document in another column in full. It is concise and comprehensive, and will be j read with more pleasure by the people than similar documecta of several preceding years. It will be een that the prospect of an arrangement for the resumption of payment of the interest on the State debt, is favorable. Something no doubt can and will be done at the present session. The Governor recommends a reform in county expenditures, which is much needed ; also, suggests sundry reforms in the criminal courts, and system of punishments, all of wbfch merit the attention of the Genrral Assembly. Election of Speaker. The election of Mr. Simonso:, of Clark, as Speaker cf the House, as we might say, vilhout opposition, is one of the most complimentary things which ever occurred in this State or any other. The Whigs of the House, many of them, deserve credit for this display of generosity for though Mr. Simonson is a determined politician, many Whigs gate him their votes and thus testified their con5dence in him as a man and a gentleman. No man is more worthy of such a compliment, than Mr. Simonson. Morrison and the ITIiis. JWe would invite the attention of the Democratic party to the resolution offered by Mr. Obth, in the Senate, on the first day of the session, in ft vor of subscribing for the Slate Journal and Morrison's Democrat to the exclusion of the State Sentinel. The resolution is important, not only on account of the political relations of the mover, Mr. Orth, who claims to be the Whig " leader " in the Senate, and who has been mentioned as the Whig candidate for Governor at the next election; but as showing also, the ojjinilies between the Whigs and Morrison. On Tuesday, the same subject came up agnin, on the motion of BucTl of Dearborn, who acted with the Whigs throughout, supposing, we presume, that his paltry spite would utterly overwhelm us. He was t nally floored, however; for some of the Whigs crcn, for the sake of helping the Journal, were obliged to rote in the State Sentinel with the crowd ; and Ducll himself dodged the final vote. The whole affair, trifling as it may be deemed, is nevertheless to us one of just pride and exultation. The rote of the Whigs against us, is just as complimentary as the vote of all the true Democrats in our faror. Morrison may make as much capital out of it as he can, and turn Whig as soon as he pleases. lie will find it rather hard to make the mass of the Democratic party follow Lim. IVcw Xtcoks. Turner has received another lot of new and elegant books, among which arc The Illuminated Eible, No, 43. The Superbly illustrated Wandering, Jew No. 3. Amaure, from the French of Alexander Dumas; being No. G2 of Harper's Library of Select Novels. The Author's Daughter, a tale, by Mary Ilowitt. Morse's Geographic Maps No. 3, containing Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Illinois and the Californias. A most valuable publication, at the exceedingly low price of 25 cts per number ; less than the value of each map. Dngucrriau miniatures. . There are three persons engaged at present in this city, in taking photographic miniatures ; and all of them, we believe, are excellent artists. We have already spoken of Mr. Kcver. We now desire to commend to public attention Mr. Macey, whose room is over the Dayton Hat and Shoe Store. Mr. M. deserves patronage on several accounts. In the first place, he is a first rate' artist, and, secondly, he is unfortunate by reason of an accident, which has almost entirely deprived him of the use of an arm. His gen tlemanly demeanor is sure to win the approbation of all with whom he may become acquainted. We hope the ladies as well as gentlemen, will give him a call. The Mechanic This is the title of a new paper just commenced by Mr. Jones, in this city. It is neatly printed, and fracticaUy edited. Its chief end is to advance the interests of mechanics. It is a gooil end, and we wish the projector all possible success. To no class docs the world owe more for the comforts of lifo than to mechanics ; and no class enjoys a smaller proportion of the fruits of its own labor. Every attempt to improve their condition therefore, should receive encouragement. The paper is cheap at $1 per year. Western Weekly News. A paper bearing this title has been started at Madison, Ind., by . W. II. Webb, Esq. The News is well got up is independent in politics, rather democratic withal. We wish Mr. Webb success. It strikes us, however, that the Madison people, if they wish to sustain all their own papers, must subscribe liberally, and not send their money to Cincinnati and Louisville for much of the ephemeral trash with which those cities are so prolific, and which we are sorry to see so common among intelligent readers. Support your own, we say, and if you have any thing to spare, send it where you - please. Blair &. Rives. It has been rumored that Blair &. Rives would be candidates for the printing, at the present session of Congress. The Union" of Nov. 2rl, says, there is not now, nor has there been any foundation for the rumor.' They have no such purpoe or wish, and so, siys the "Union," we arc authorized explicitly to state." Rzmaekable. The Grecncastle Visiter finds fault with our Rail Road, "on account of the rough and careless manner in which goods and freight are handled," die. We don't know what the Visiter means by "goods," in contradistinction to '.'freight ;" but this we do know ; that in our three thousand miles travel within the last year, tee have never seen more pains and care taken on any rail road. There may be occasional carelessuess of agents, &c., but we promise the Visiter that if it will tptiify, the evil be at once remedied. (rVe have received the fourth number of a newpaper called the Daily American Citizen " published at Cincinnati. It is a "Aoire " paper, and should be eschewed by every lover of human rights.

Wayne George W. Julian, Juseph Lewis, Waller Legs. AU the members present but 3Ir. Carnan of Knox, Mr. EndicoU of Post?y, and Mr. Scott of Fountain. When the counties of Dearborn and Ohio were called. Messrs. Richard D. Slater and George Cornelius tf Dearborn county, presented their certificates and' were sworn into office. Mr. Eanius, of Ohio county, and Mr. James II. Lane, of Dearborn, alsj presented certificates of elect t n as members ; when the clerk remarked, that the certificate of Mr. Lanius was signed bv the Sheriffs of Dearborn and Ohio, while that of Mr. Lane was signed only by the Sheriff of Dearborn. He was at a lo-s how to act in the premises, so he submitted the matlcr to the House. Mr. Vandeveer said tlic House could not act without a chairman; when e Mr.' Stapp proposed that the Hon. Dennis Pennington take the chair for the time bcinj, which was agreed to by the House. Mr. Stapp called for th? reading of the certificates. The first, from the Sheritr of Dearborn; stated, that if the law organizing Ohio county should govern, then Mr. Lnnius is elected ; but should that not be the case, Mr. Lane is elected, he l aving received one hundred and four votes more than Mr. Lanius. The certificate from the Sheriffs of Dearborn and Ohio stated that Mr. -Lanius was elected, having received the highest number of votes of any person residing in Ohio county. Mr. McDonald moved that the further reading of documents, submitted, be dispensed with ; contending that the proceedings now taking place were altogether iuform?l. Ho moved that neither of the contendin rrentlemen should take their seats ; but that the House should proceed 10 me ciecuon ui o.naKcr. Mr. Stapp favored proceeding with the investigation. Mr. McDonald contended th?t neither of the certificates presented was made out in the usual form, and consequently could not be entertained. Mr. Stapp stated that one of the certificates, if he understood it, was made out in accordance with the Statute. He believed that certificate would entitle Mr. Lnnius to a scat. Whether the law vas ennstitutional or not was anotl.-cr matter that could be determined nfler the House Was organized. He was, therefore, for the present, in favor of Mr. Lanius taking his seat. Mr. Thompson said the House was about getting into a snarl, in this matter. He begged leave to differ with the gentleman from Jefferson, notwithstanding his hundred years experience in legislation. lie contended that he present proceedings were informal. No one but the clerk, at this crisis, had the power to decide between the two gentlemen. He hoped that the clerk would accept the certificate of one or the other of these gentlemen, and then let the matter be referred to the committee on elections. Mr. Stapp could not recede from the ground he had taken. The certificate of Mr. Lanius was in the usual form, and he should be admitted to a scat. He had no feeling in the matter, as both gentlemen were Democrats, and neither would vote for a Whig United States' Senator. m Mr. Thompson did not consider that Whiggery or Democracy had any thing to do with this question. The question was taken on Mr. McDonald'e motion, and decided in the negative ayes 40, noes 50. Mr. Stapp then moved that Mr. Lanius be admitted to a seat, for the present, as a member of this House. Mr. Cox contended that both certificates were in accordance with the law. Mr. Hazclrigg said that, under the Constitution, the House had the right to judge of the qualifications of its members. He believed that Mr. Lanius was entitled to a scat, and hoped the House would consent to his admission until it was fully organized, when the right of Mr. Lane would be fully considered. The question was then taken on admitting Mr. Lanius to a seat, and decided in the affirmative. On motion of Mr. McDonald, the House then proceeded to the election of Speaker, Messrs. Moore and ilazelrigg acting as tellers. On counting the first ballot, it appeared that John S. Simonson received 73 votes. Scattering, 24. Mr. Simonson, having received a majority of all the votes given, was declared duly elected ; and bcinar conducted to the chair, by Messrs. Lowe and Meeker, returned bis thanks in an appropriaie addrps? Tn thp course of which he remarked, that al though this very flattering mark of esteem was not unsought, yet his election tounu him unprepared to return his thanks fur the honor conferred. He hoped .. ... f . ut- . 1 e. 1 - that the leciings or me iieari wouiu do mm, iur uie lack of words lo return his obligations. He trusted that a sense of decorum and a close observance of parliamentary rules would govern the members in all thoir li.liKornt inn. n nil that the nroccedlnas of the V a a . ,uv j - - - f session would result in the promotion of the houcr and prosperity of Indiana. On motion of Mr. McDonalJ, the House then proceeded to the election of a Principal Clerk, Messrs. Stapp and McDonald acting as tellers. The following is the result of the three first ballotings, to-wit: Kinder, linden, Donnavan, Harlan, Eoon,

Miller, Berryhill, Vanhook, Youee, Messick, Danforth, Hensley, Cooper, M'Cormick, Beck, Hill, Duke, Blank, On motion of Mr. Clymer, a resolution was adopted, informing the Senate of the election of officers and the organization of the House, which was laid oa the table ; when - Mr. Vandeveer moved to go into the election cf Scrgeant-at-Arms. Mr. Clymer opposed the motion and would vote against the election of such an officer as one that was not neccssiry and could be dispensed with. Mr. Vandeveer said, it was impossible to do btisi ness without such an officer. Tbe door-keeper had other business to attend to, end it would be good economy to elect a Sergeant-at-Arms. Mr. Thompson opposed the motion, because, that previous to some 6evcn or eight years since, such an officer was unknown to the House of Representatives. Business progressed smoothly then, and, on the score of economy, we should refuse to elect euch an officer. It would save some two or three hundred dollars. The door-keeper, with his two assistants, he believed, would be able to attend to all the business that would be required of the Sergeant-at-Arms. He was opposed to legislating for the especial benefit of some greedy office-hunter. In conclusion he moved, that tho motion to go into the election be laid upon the table; which motion was decided by yeas and nays in the negative, ayes 47, noes 50. Mr. Vandeveer remarked, that he would not allow any gentleman to economize more than himself, as his acts would prove before the close of the session. He made this remark in reply to the gentleman from Perry, and proceeded to show that the services cf a Sergeant-at-Arms were indispensable. His service,

He had been in J subscribe for a political paper of any kind,' but the the Legislature when there was a Sergeat-at-Arms ; manner in which the u tre-norhing clique of office and when there was none, and from his experience he j seekers at the Capital, have treated you, has indoced believed the officer was entirely unnecessary.

Mr. Fuller remarked, that it had always been the practice for a Sergeant-at-Arms to draw his pay from the commencement of the session, although elected several days afterwards. With the gentleman from Lnporte he believed, that if we elected the officer at all, it should be done now. Did he believe the officer could be dispensed with, he would vote against going into the election. The question was then taken on Mr. Vandeveer's motion and decided in the negative, ayes 47, noes 50. On motion of Mr. Ford, it was resolved, that the Door-keeper act ex-rfficio as Sergeant-at-Arms ; which at the suggestion rf Mr. Stapp, was withdrawn. The resolution in relation to the organization of the House was then taken up and adopted. On motion of Mr. Carr, a resolution was adopted, for the appointment of a committee to wait on the Governor, in relation to the reception of his atinual message. Messrs. Carr and Rosseau were appointed said committee. On motion of Mr. Thompson, a committee was appoioted to wait on the Rev. Mr. Daniel, to open the ' session, to-morrow morning by solemn prayer, and j Messrs. Thompson and Vandeveer were appointed that committee, A resolution was offered, adopting the rules and joint rules of the last session; winch, after being amended, on motion of Mr. Secrest, so as to strike out the committee on federal relations, was referred to a select committee of Messrs. Stapp, Hazelricr" and iMickle. U On motion of Mr. Ilazelrigg, a resolution was adopted, that no member be responded to from the chair, unless in his sear, at the time of making,such address. On motion of Mr. Mickle, it was resolved, that the cd.tors of newspapers have the privilege of seats J within the bar, for reporters to report the proceedings 01 tue iiouse. On motion the House adjourned. AFTERNOON SESSION'. Mr. Carr, from the Joint Committee appointed to wait on the Governor, to ascertain at what time he will deliver his annual Message, reported that they had performed that duty, and received for answer, that he would attend in the Hall of the Iiouse, at two o'clock, on this day, for that purpose On motion of Mr. Ilazelrigg, the Senate was invited into the Hall to hear the Governor's Message ; when v. 1. .

Secrest was laid on the table, ayeR 56, noes 38. Mr. Thompson from the Committee on that subject, reported tliat the Rev. Mr. Daniela would attend in the Hall on to-morrow morning, at ten o'clock, to open the session by prayer. Mr. McDonald moved to reconsider the vote, on the resolution providing for taking the city papers. Mr. McDonald said, that he had intended, and supposed, that otber members would make some remarks, in regard to the propriety of taking the papers, lie offered the resolution, in the manner he did, because he supposed it would be most acceptable in that shape. lie was, from principle, in favor of taking the papers. He believed that knowledge was one of the main pillars of our free institutions, and that our acts, as the Representatives of the people, should be as widely disseminated as possible. The expense, he believed, would bear no proportion to the benefits conferred. He then entered into an argument to show, that the necessary expense, requisite to a faithful and full report of the proceedings of the Legislature, could not be had, without this small State patronage. Mr. Lowe opposed the resolution. lie was, in principle, opposod to all such expenditures. The time had been, in the history of the State, when individuals had to go from fifty to a hundred miles to consult some military Colonel or Justise of the Feace, to know the news. Dut that day has passed; papers were published in all parts of the State, whose editors could copy from the Indianapolis papers, and thus information could be disseminated. It was a small expenditure, it is true, but large amounts are made up in this way. Mr. Secret had always thojght the principle bad, in taking papers. He was in favor of printing the kirrest number of interesting documents; but four dollars worth of papers would be as a drop in the bucket amongst the 3500 constituents he, with his colleague, represented. " Mr. Tennington said there were papres published in almost every county in the State, and the editors were anxious to give publicity to our proceedings. More than this, it only created heart-burnings on the part of those who failed to receive papers from their Representatives. The motion to reconsider did not prevail. Mr. Ilazelrigg offered a resolution for printing five thousand copies of the Governor's Message; which was adopted, ayes 81, nays 15. Mr. Lemonds moved that one thousand copies cf the message be printed in the German language. Mr. Stapp moved that five hundred be printed in French.

Mr. Pennington said, as there was no German printing office in town, it was unnecessary to offer the resolution. We, as a nation, had but one language, and if we had to print our public documents in every language, to tuit the people who spoke it, there was no telling where the expense would end. Mr. Clymer came here aa the representative of a. respectable portion of the black Dutch, as they bad been sneeringly called; indeed he came from that stock himself. He hoped his venerable friend, the gentleman from Jefferon, would withdraw his motion to print five hundred copies in French, which was offered as arider to the resolution. Mr. Stapp did not know why bis friend from Dkhart should call him his rcntrable friend, as he was a much younger man than that gentleman. He could not conceive that the gentleman had a greater right to have his German friends accommodated, than he had to accommodate his French coustituents. The amendment was not adopted. Mr. Thompson moved to amend the resolution, sn that one of the five thousand ordered, should be printed in German, which was accepted by the mover; tho resolution, thus amended, was adopted. The House then adjourned. That our readers may see how lindly the whigt take Morrison by the hand, and how they attempt to hold hira up, we just now present the following, (from hosts of others) from the Madison Banner. It needs no comment to men of intelligence and reflection, except to say that the Banner pretends to be decent.
