On motion, the convention adjourned to meet at half after 2 o'clock on lo-tnorrow. The Senate tetinng to their Chamber, The House adjourned. SENATE. Wednesday, Decnr.ber 13, 117. Mr. Hvtdy offered the following ieolutin J lUiohed, That the Senat will, Ihe Hou-e of Representative concuriioi theiein, adjourn on lhe 15th inst., to meet on the second Monday in January; subject, however, to be convened ty the proclamation of the Governor. On motion, the resolution was laid on the table. On m t ion, Thr onler cf ltiine was sn-pended, anl Mr. Milliken, fr-m thi crt.mi'ie i whom ws referred a bill to iocoipoiale the Indianapolis and l'eru railroad com-

pany, repoited b.ck the lime without amendment, recommending its passage. The iules were depended, and the bill being read a second and third time, paved. Mr. Winchell mtioduced a bill giving further time fur the settlement of the levenuei of Delawaie county ; lead a fust time, and. On motion. The rules weie suspended, and the bill read a second and

third time and aed Mr. lleniy moved to suspend the previous oider of busi- j nets in older to take up the biil of the House in teard t bonowing money for the payment f the interest due on the State debt: which moiinti prevailed. The questiou bein en the passage of the bill. Mr Robinson said, that in the piesenl Ute of excitement he wuuid not say much. He hoped that the bill would not pa. During tue la-l sessii-n, by, as he believed, an unconMitulioiial vote of the Leisiatuie, the bill commonly called the " butler Bill " became a law. The people throughout the State generally supposed that by the pasaje of that act they had paid 1 laige amount of the Stale dfhL Such was not the case: They lud only given eollaieral secuiiiy for the payment of that debt. The bondholders now ask us to pay ihe intetet on the January instalment. By the com net entered into between Ihe Stale and the bondholdeis, interest was not to be paid until 1353; but the bondholder, in violation of that coottact, on the veiy fust meeting of the Legislatuie come in and ak u to borrow 93,000 to pay interest not by the coulract due until ISO 3. lie would gi against the bill because it would be a violation of the conti act entered into. He was willing to carry out in good faith the contract entered into, but he could not. for the accommodation of the bondholders, vote for a bi'.l tending to the injuiy of hi constituent, and at the tame time set a precedent by the power of which the bondholder would come in every session aud demand new concessions. This bill was but the entering wedge, and he could not vote fr it. Mr. lleniy iep!ied that there was a provision made that the ievenue was to go towaid the payment of the inteie-t, which by the bill wa to be paid oo the first of January. The otject of the bill was only to bonow for a few days Ihe mouey that is necessary to pay the interest, and the loan would in a short time be paid fiom the revenue, which, unfortunately, wa not yet p od into the hands of the tieasurer of Slate. He said that the people weie lightetied by the ariangement made last winter of a burden that weighed them down like an incubus; that they had linen up' like meii and shaken oil the lethaigy that surrounded them, and were now going on in the comse of honor and piospeii'y, like giants filled wiih new wine; and if the bill was nut carried they would again be placed in an unenviable position, without ciedit, and guilty of acting in the eyes of the world in bad faith with their cieditorsMr. Head said that the bill befoie us was only a bill of expediency. We had a right, under the law oflast winter, to pay up our inteicst promptly or to let it remain unpaid and issue certificates of vaiious denomination, from ten dollar to one thousand, and thus make a heavy buideu Ijt our State coirimi-sionets. The question then was only one of policy i Would it not then be better to make a temporary loan and pay up promptly the interest, and have the credit ol the Stale standout untarnished befoie the wofid He would go for the bill because he thought that it was expedient and for the best inteiest of the State. Mr. Moirison said be was as much opposed as any to borrowing money, but in the pitscnt case he went for the bill because theie were great inteiests at stake no less than than the credit of the S ale and he consideied the credit of the State of much more importance than the paltry sum of $90,000. He was for doing now what was to be done. If war came let it come in his day, thai lie might take a part in the fray, and not let the battle be fought by his descendants. He was not afiaid to proclaim the position he occupied a posiiiun to maintain the credit of Ihe State inviolate. Mr. Milliken said that as a matter of expediency be did not see what objection could be takeu to the bill. The money wa in the hands of the county tieasuiets, but had not yet been paid over iuto the State treasuiy. The simple question was, would it be better to bouow Ihe sum for three months, at which time the revenue would be collected into the State treasury, at six per cent, interest of the bank, or to issue ceititicate beanng six per cent, interest, to run until 1S53, with the money lying immured in our Stat" tieasuiy for a laige portion of that time. The question simply was, is it best to pay intcieit for three months or six yeara ? The Senate having agreed to go into the electi n of two Bank Directors at ten o'clocit. aud that time having airived, the doors weie closed for that puipose. After seveial balloting, Mr. Henry, of Hancock county, was elected Hank Duector in the place of Mr. Carr, the House concuirmg. The balloting for another Bank Director was postponed until to-moirow, at ten o'clock. Mr. Ellis moved to adjouin ; lost. Mr. Ellis moved to lay the loan bill on the table, and the ayes and noes being called, the moliou was lost ayes 23, noes 27. Mr. Barbour moved to postpone the further consideiation of the bill until two o'clock ; cariied. On m itioi: of Mr Handy, The resolution telative to adjournment until the second Monday in Januaiy next was takeu fion the table. Mr. Marsh moved to amend by stiiking out the second Monday in January, and insetting the second Monday in May next. Mr. Berry moved to amend the amendment by inserting the thiid Monday in Januaiy. Mr. Montgomery moved to lay the pending resolution and amendments on the table, and the aye and noes being demanded, the motion was carried ayes 33, noes 16. The Senate adjourned. AFTERNOON SESSION'. A call of the Senate was oideied, and the absentees sent for A message was received from the House informing the Senate that the House had adopted the following lesolution, and requesting the concurrence of the Senate: Vnrr A ras of thp Small Pnr in tho eifv nf T n dianapolis; and a number of the membeis of the House have been rxp.!ted to the malaria of li.e contagion by unwaiily 'visiting and communing with one who is laboiing under i s 'influence, before and aftei the character of the disease was known or suspected: j Asd Whmeai, Under such circumstances, consideiing j the danger of the dise.se breaking out in Ihe Hall of the ' Legislatuie, anJ the disastcis to the country consequent j upon the dissemination of the contagion, in order if possible to arrest its course, aud at least to defer further legislation until a mire prnpiti us season: Therefore, Be it Resolved by this llouee (the Senate concurring J, That the Legt-latu-t be and the same is hereby adjourned until the second Mon lay in January neit. lie it further Resolved, That the member of both Houses, the Senate concuriing, shall be entitled to the same pay for tiavelling to and fiom their lespective lesideuces as is allowed by law at regular sessions. Mr. Mon ison moved to uspend the previous order of business, in oider to introduce a resolution; carried. Mr. Morrison introduced a resolution stating that a considerable degree of excitement existed among the member in regard to the existence nf small pox in the city ; and that lhe Senate appoint a committee consisting of the members of ,ne medical fraternity who are membeis of the Senate, to inqoiie iuto the exieut of danger iucuited by remaining, &c. Mr. Murphy moved to amend by striking out physicians inserting lawyers; I st The resolution was withdrawn, and the Senate adjourned to the House for the puipose of electing a Trustee of the Wab ish and Eiie Canal, aud Superintendent of the Vincennes and New Albany road. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Wednesday Morxixg, Dec. 15, 1S47. The Speaker laid before the House the second annual report of the Waiden of the Slate Pi ison ; laid upon the table and 500 copies otdered to be primed. Petitums Presented. By Mr. Miller, of certain citizens of South Bend. By Mr. Campbell, of ceitain German citizens, praying a share of the public school fund, for the purpose of establish ing separate schools Toi leaching Ihe German language. Jty Mr. Mill, or the administiator of fc Ison, deceased. By Mr. Thompson, of Susan Taylor, foi a divorce. By Mr. Porter, piaying a change in the law of incorpora tion of towns. By Mr. Porter, for a divorce; tail upon the table. By Mr. Criswell, for a State road; also a remonstrance t botti referred to a select committee. Reports. By Mr. Orton, from the judiciary committee, that it was inexpedient lo legislate upon the subject of the petition Iheiein named. By Mr. CM krrly, from the same committee, that it was inexpedient to legislate upon a certain subject Iheiein mentioned. By Mr. Smiley, of the committee on claims, granting the claims nf Adams. A bill of the enate, giving further time for the payment of the ievenue for the year 1847 of the county of Delaware, was taken from the title and passed. By Mr. Miller, against the location of a State road iherein named, in the county of Delawaie; the question being on concuriing in the iiMrt. Mr. Orr hotted the leprt would not be concurred in; there was no nutlet to Ihe petitioner's farm, the renionsi rants 10 the toad were not neat it. The object i to have leave to survey the load, it was for the Board of Lommiioiiers to make it; ihe remoiistianls were disinterested in the matter. Mi. Nfjprstated that the remonstrants with whom he was acquainted weie inieiested. The citizens of hi county, between which, and the county f Delaware, it was desiied lo have the load, were opposed to it; tue report was coiicuued in. Mr. Meredith moved to take from the table the bill relative to adjournment, which wa carried. Mr. Meiedi.h mured to amend the original act, in substance as follows! Owing to Ihe smoll-pox prevailing to an alarming extent in this city, and membeis having visited the c'.arnuer of the peison attacked with Ih it disease, aud to prevent a fuither ili-seminalioii of it, that the Legislatuie adjjuru until lhe 21 Monday inJanmry next giving power 1 the Governor to prolong the time of adjournment if d. emed necessary; and that the usual mileage he allowed members going lo aud tetuining to the capital fiom their homes. It was moved to sfiike out from Ihe amendment the words "to an alarming extent." Mr. Il-jnt was sorry to see 10 much confusion upon this subject. Hi opinion was that leave of absence should be given lo those who desire it, and let a quotum remain, that business may be cariied on. He did not think many weie in danger that many had placed themselves in pioximity to Ihe disease ; if precautious were laken 11 need not te spread fui Iher. Mr. Fotd would not say theie was no dinger of taking the disease; for his part he was not in dinner, but he should not say lo thi House that mernbeif should n t leave for a time; he would feel veiy sorry if he was the ciu-e of one difmli'i !inf his life. Mr. De Bruler said it was an iinpjrtatit cucstwa. The

i mil I-pox is a dangeiou dieie. Previous to the breaking out of the disease, duitng the hcuht of the fever, theie is the most danger. There had been more ihm twenty-five meiiibeis in to visit the gentleman who was now laboiiig under the diwjje. This was enough tu spread the contagion, whether Ihey temaia or - tu their home. If leave ol absence wa given, and the Legislature was to remain in session, that puiiiuu of the Stale would be unrepresented. Although, in a pecuniary point, it would be a eiiou injury to

; him to aili'imn the Legislature, vet be would prefer it to cndangeimg the lives of the members, or his own, by te maining, Mr. Uiown moved to amend by striking nut of the pieamb!e that pait whiih täte that "the disease prevai s to an I alarming extent in this city." He wa willing to have the i fact spiead upon the lecoid "thai there wa one case ard a j piobahility nf its spieading." He was certain, so far as pie- t cautious could be taken, they would be taken. He was personally oj posed to this pioposed adjournment but as he lived beie, and would be just as subject lo the disease whether lle Legislatuie adjouut or not. he should -esiie to be excused fiom vo'ing. Mr. Meiedith remarked that it would break up ihe usefulness of this Legislature lo not adjouiu; he should remain in town and risk Ihe danger, should it be deieimmed i-ut to adjourn. He would prefer lernaining, but should favor the adjournment, a he would not foice members lo lemain against their wish. Mr. McDonald moved to refer the whole matter to a committee lo bring lhe facts before the House; not cariied. toMr. Stanton would express hi opinion. It was a question of piecaution and caution ; so far as he was peisonally c -n-ceined he was not in favor of adjournment, but at the same time he should vote for the adjournment, in justice to the members who dened iL Mr. Wolf at first thooght he would nut vote for the adjournment, but he was now in favor of it. Several members had left many more would there was a panic ing (he members many weie not in a proper state of mind lo do business. The amendment of Mr. Brown was adopted. Mr. Dunham proposed to amend by striking out all after the woid resolve, and insetting, thai the Legislatuie adj turn tine die on Monday, the 2Üth lost. He remaiked that theie was not much danger of spreading the disease more before that time than it is now; and there was not much business to do only one impoitanl thing the tevcuue bill, and all could be done by that time. Mr. Neal moved to lay 011 the table; cariied. Ayes 74, nays 23. Mr. Teiry moved to stiike out all after the word resolved; and insert in substance as follows: "That leave of absence be given those who desire il." Mr. Blyihe was not in favor of adjournment. Some members felt it Ihcir duy to leave; others fell it al-o their duty lo remain and legislate. If, by bis vote, he had contributed in the least to the death of any member, by voting against the adjouin nent, he would always legtet il. Admit theie is not much, business of importance; still everything is of impoi tance every member should be present. Many had said they would not remain; their feeli.igs should be consulted. The inteiests of the State would not be injuied by this contemplated adjournment. He was not in feat of thi disease; he had been 111 among it and passed through in safety ; yet in duty lo thjse who wished ibis adjournment, he would favor it. Mr. Orr would inquire if gentleman wished to drive him home where the small-pox was 1 aging. Mr. short moved to amend by sinking out, and insetting to adjourn tine die on the 25th inst ;" laid on the table. Mr. Lowe moved to strike out all that part of the act giv ing power to the Governor to prolong the time of adjourn ment; earned. Mr. Dunham moved to stake out that part mating to the allowai ce of mileage. Mr. Neal thought the motion was made for Buncombe. For himself, he would go against it. Hi constituents knew he would do what was light, and were willing hn should be paid. Mr. Mioit had no doubt thak many of the membeis had boas 'ed of Iheir patiiotUm upon the stump weie ready 10 meet the bayonet of Ihe enemy, and yet at one case of lhe small-pox theie was a general movement for flight. For an excuse for their flight theie was a gieat display attempted of the causes; and they must have their mileage! Tbe motion of Mr. Dunham being put, it was not earned ; ayes 37. nays 9 so the mileage was not stiickeu out. Mi. Lowe pieteried an adjournment; he was the oldest general in tbe House, and he was afiaid all tbe geneials in the House weie afraid. It was a characteristic of good geneialship lo tetieat in time. He would admit that it was a bad picredent to set, to adjourn whenever a case of this kind occuired; but there were no precautious laken in thiscitvas yet. Thi would peihaps cause them to be taken for the fu'ure, and thus avoid the necessity 01 an adjournment again. Suppose by our Vote we should compel members to remain, and some should be attacked by the disease and a life be lost, legiet would be the consequence. There is not business of uigency before the Legislature that could not be done a few weeks hence as well as now. He would not remain. Theie were enough membeis who would uot lemain t prevent business. If any good could be done he would, although afiaid. stay. The question being on adopting the measure, it was adopt ed ; ayes 50, nays 41. Mr. Brown was excused from voting. Mr. Stanton stated that he wa personally against this ad journment, but from the feeling displayed by members de-i-ling it, he would vote in the am, mauve. Mr. Frazier staled that he count not vote for this measure as placed in ihe resolution, and would vote negatively. Mr. Dougherty did not wish to expose to den.iou of tbe people the House, and would vote iu the negative. On motion ol Mr. llaivey, the doors weie closed in order to open tbe sealed message of the Senate. AFTERNOON SESSION. Leave of absence given Mr. Covington. On leave granted, Mr. Terry introduced a resolu tion requiring the committee on the judiciary to in quire into the expediency of abolishing the distinction between proceedings in domestic and foreign attacliment; adopted. 1 lie Speaker laid before the House a report from the Education Convention committee, with a bill ; or dered to be laid upon the table and printed one thousand copies of the report of the committee, and two hundred copies of the bill. On leave cratited, Mr. Dunham reported a bill amending art. 4, chap. 37, of Revised Statutes of I34.j, repealing that part making- the sheriff of the supreme court liable for the acts of the sheriils of the several counties. Mr. Hull moved to lay on the table ; not carried. Mr. (Jookerly moved to refer the bill to the commit tee on the judiciary ; not carried, and the bill passeJ to a third readinr.

Files of tho Honolulu (Sandwich Islands) News, from Dec. 00 to May 23, have been received by the Baltimore Sun. The News gives, in a lng article, a dark picture of the socIhI condition of the natives of this Paradi-e of Ihe Pacific. Assuming that the missionaries have been careless of the education of the natives in industrial pursuits, it says "all their efforts have not in any degree ameliorated the physical, domestic, or social cordition of the great mass of the native population. Hut we assert it, without the least fear of contradiction from any candid man, that the mass of the natives are in a worse physical, social and domestic condition than that in which Christianity found them." Raising the Wind. A couple of chnps hit upon the following expedient to raise the needful! one was to feign himself dead, tobe pW. into a bag by the other, and sold to a physician in the neighborhood, ns a subject for dissection. Ihe bag waa procured, the fellow tied up in il, and at niobiB's meridian,' carried to the doctor. The bargain was 0011 finished, the money pocketed, and the teller was upon the sill of the door taking hid leave, when the subject in the bag began to kick.

We ought to profit by the experience of England. And we should di so, if our merchants were more like statesmen, l'xiking forward tu national interests through generations, and less like shop-keepers, considering only the bargain before them ; and if our politicians also were more like statesmen, regarding nations as the growth of ages, and less like partisans, intent only on the next election, and their own personal benefit involved in

As tins system, like every other system of slavery, contains the seeds of its own dissolution, ex hausts its own vitality, England has berome poor. She has lited like a c'runkard, who derives unusual strength and activity from his dram, but who ex hausts himself prematurely by the process. She lias begun to run down, and will go rapidly, till she reaches the lowest depths consistent with her natural elements of prosperity. She will then sign the pledge. begin again on a small scaie, live soberly and thrive moderately. The uceptre will depart from Judah, though not from the chosen people. The power of the Anglo-Saxon will be transferred from Ihe Uritish Islands, lothe United States and Austral Asia England has begun to run down, because she rose upon an artificial system. She became grent in manufactures, without producing raw materials. She transferred people from the soil to the worktop, und monopolized land for-the luxuries of aristocracy, till her own agriculture could not furnish her own bread, and she is driven to seek it uhroad. She monopolized the coin of the world by balances in trade, and she ereated the:e balances by inciting other nations to war, for the purpose of supplying them with those manufactures which should have been furnished by their own peaceful industry. JJurdened with the debts of her own wars, impoverishing and alienating her colonies by oppression, losing her foreign markets by the return of peace, driving away her coin by crcd.t and paper money, restraining agriculture by monopolies in land, aud compelled to buy bread to feed an overstocked population of artisans in England, and pauper peasantry in Ireland, she finds that her system has been suicidal. Let us profit by her example; let ua avoid her errors. Let us forbid monopolies in land; for no coun try can be prosperous Ions, in which the cultivator is not the owner of the soil. All systems of tenantry are systems of slavery, fraught with the seeds of their own dissolution. Let us forbid her monopolies in trade, founded in force or fraud. 'Let us enter into free competition with all the world; and let us, like the French, command its markets by the essential superiority of our 'wares, and not like tho English, attempt to obtain them by diminishing qualities while retaining appearances, or by counterfeiting the marks of other nations who manufacture more honestly. Let us banish paper money and paper credit, and thus avoid those English pests, high prices at home, expansions, contractions, revulsions, bankruptcies and stagnation, as detrimental to morals, as they are to pockets. We possess three elements of prosperity, sufficient, for long years, to render Europe our commercial tributaries. We have the cotton of the South, and the flour and provisions of the .Middle and West; and we have the maritime elements of New England, to insure their transportation and that of their returns. Another element of prosperity is within our reach, though we shall probably be prevented from securing it by the short-sighted fullv.of our political slioi keppers. We mi"ht and outfit to secure the mines of Mexico. And then, with food, clothing, and cash, feeding the artisans of Europe while we supplied tlirin with wool and cotton, the raw material of clothing, and commanding the universal medium of exchange, we might attain and keep a degree of properity unknown in the annals of other nattons. But the shop-keeping politicians will say that these mines ruined bpatti. Ihey did so because Spain abandoned her soil and her shops, to dig gold and silver, and became poor under high prices ; the very process through which ii.ngland is passing, using pa per for expansion instead of coin. Had Spain adher ed to her agriculture and manufactures, and converted her colonies into allies instead of dependents, she would still have been the most prosperous and powerful nation of Europe. But how shall we obtain these mines! By redeeming and regenerating Mexico from anarchy to rood government, from military despotism to freedom, by conquest and annexation.
