The propriety of gruiiuc lit.eiat, yet safe chatters to companies desiiiog to construct hi eh acter of public improvements U respectfully auegetted. Some of the States of the Unin have expressed an opinioo favoiat.le to the e-tab!uh-neutof an Aitcultuial Dureati , in the Depaitment of tbe Interior at Washington, whse province it oliaH be to aupei'mtend and pn.ni.te tbe great intfient of agiicoliural improvement in the nation.

The Deaf and Dumb Ayluto has continued to irerease in cru.Deritr and usefulness, and tbe same retrenchment in current exoenie so favorably noticed in Ihe last Executive messszeof mv predecessor has continued. The number of DUDils bss reached 122. Tbe new baildinr are far progressed that tbe walls are completed and secured from injury by ioof. Owinz to thecarefut management of the current expeodi tares it rill not be necessary toincreaie the rate of taxatioo for Ihi nurpose at il is supposed tbat the revenue of 343 and 1S50, will be amply sufficient. It will merely be deiiablc to provide some mean by which the Trustee may auiicipate a part of the revenue of 1SÖ0 after tbat time it is believed that a material reduction can be made in the assessment: considering tbe crowded state of the present inconvenient rented building tbe amount paid for their use which is nt lees than eleven hundred dollais per annum, and tbe fact that tbe labor of tbe pupil can now be rendered but slightly profitable, tbeie can be no d)ubt of the propiiety of providing for tbe completion of tbe new Asylum dutiog tbe approach iu season.

A bill for thai purpoe was tepoiled which paised without objection, (a i beJieved) through both branches of tbe Legislature, but by ac cident was lost or mislaid, and consequently did not become a law. By reason of the failure of realizing the benefit of this bill, the work bas been mostly suspended, and only such additional apartments completed as were absolutely demanded for the relier of some of the most ptessirg applicants for admission. It is very desirable that early provi-ions te made for the speedy completion of tbe Hospital buildings entire. It is believed that no State in the Union bas done a much in so short period of time, to ameliorate the condi.ionoi V'!?K0"r"." of Indianapor hat tbe same success attended the Benevolent Instituttons of any others, that has blessed those of our own State. Tbe promptitude and cheeifuloess with which the people have responded to the call of their Representatives, for tbe means neceaiy to support these public institutions will ledound in all coming lime to their honor and piosperity. A proposition to found an Asylum for ibe poor and destitute orphans of tbe State i respectfully yet earnestly recommended to your favorable consideration. No enterprise can reflect more credit and glory upon the people and I hei' Repieseotatives than that which lends to tbe elevation of tbe poor and destitute orphans. Nothing bas so great a tendency to attach the poor man to his eoantiy and ber glorious institutions, as a knowledge that his lights ate protected whilst be is living, and tbat hi children will be cared for when he is dead. Certainly no true Christian or philautbropist can or will be found in opposition to such a messuie. The subject of education i one at all times of paramount importance, and should engage tbe moit vigilant attention of our legislators. I cannot close this communication without leaving my humble testimony in its favor. Accurate information has been received from Ihe ptincipal Universities and Colleges of the State from which I am enabled to inform yoo, that at no fotmer peii.d have Ibey erjiyedso great a degree of piosperity as at the present time. Indiana AsSury University presents a ratalosne of two bnndred and ninety-Use i ndent; Indiana University number one hundred and ninety aeven, Hanover College I3, Wabash Collate with a library of six thoasand volume and a rlrh geological rabi4 ; Franklin College urubera 145, making an aggregate of 989, ol the youth of our country who bar baea receiving collegiate infraction within the past year. Indiana Ashory University has orgs ai zed a Medic si Depaitment at this city (tndian.tpolia.) witla an able Faculty. Tbe first session of thia liepartmenl commenced in November last, with a fair prospect of accea. There la a Law Department attached to the Pta'js University at Sloomington ander the charge of two able Professors, (Judges McDonad fc Otto.) which promises great asefuiaess to those wiio desire instruction in that learned profession. Franklin Collets bas succeeded la eitinguisl.iiiff a heavy debt which ha hitherto crippled her energies and impaired her usefulness it is now believed that she will realize the brightest hopes or her frienJ. It is believed that this an para lied prusperkv, is doul.Uesa attributable in a very great degree to two prominent cause ; the ability of our Presidents and Professor tu impart a thorouah and protound coarse of collegiate instruction to toe stodeuts, and to the health fulness of te locations, tbe economy of living and the moral assoeijiioos. it is a souree of unmia-led pleasnra. to be enabled lo data that the important subject of female ejucation is rap dly gaining a st rone hold upon the feelings of our neonl.

However gratifying it may be to witness the rapid advancement of a portion of our population in tbe higher branches of tha Arts aad sciences there is ye another subject which attracts oar attention by iu greater importance.

SAGL'. Senators, Rfpr'stntilices and FeUoto Citizens, Ilarinjr la ken the oath of office presoribvd by the eonstiliitn.ii, nulFer me to return to rou. and tiirousri you, tu our fellow citizens' generally, my grateful ac knowledgments, for the couHdwiot tliey have gtnemusiy bestowed noon me. Whilo I d tlii. I desire in this public mnnner, to asseverate that my tune and ability shall bi employed in endeav oring; to promote the hippiries and welfare of all. Luitom Mticliftt s and enj .in, that I shall briffly declare to you, the view which are ?ntrtainid by me, upon tont of the topics which engage ihe attention of the people at the prenent riHi. It3 gratifyinr; that our State durin the ptt year, by a decisive vote, lit !wn a desire to fivor the CDnjtitutionalrcfoniHof the age. Tiiirly-three year. nave pisxea away mioe our re titers framed fr uiour present excellent constitution. Under thii constitution we hive lived in the enjoyment of civil and rnlißioui liberty. Our prosperity has been jfreat our growth rapid and the mirch of improvement onward. i ime nas not only proved the correctness- of the republican principles contained in the constitution, but it has had a tendency to eliow.tlmt they may be uiucli further exlended, and more generally applied. Tho Elective principle was highly valued by our ftther. and it rniy be justly said, tl-jr were far iu the ad vance oi our sislerbiates of that day; but a etill fur. ther advance is practicable. In order to more ef fectually guard against improper appointments to office, .and atririi,t uch as msy be made with selfish motives, witltout reference to the welfare of the public in general, or the will of the people, the elective power may be sardy substituted foi the appointing power. Another subject of primary importance is ' that of Common Schools. Jleu of intelligence can best and most safrly exercise the sovereign prerogative of the elective franchise; and to secura general intrjligenco among- meu, they must begin to learn while they are children. It seems to me therefore that we should concentrate every legitmate effort to accompliad rliis end, besrowing all the means at our command to the prom itjon of this common good, iu the most expansive form, that we should first endeavor to exlend common schools to every neighborhood, so far as may be done without tho infliction of burdensome taxes upon the people, while we leave the County Seminaries and the higher institutions of learning to individual or associated enterprise, by which it is belived, they will be best sustained. Other measures will doubtless receive tho consideration of the convention, among which might be named the necessary checks upon improvident legislation suitable restrain: against special and partial legislation; and a positive requirement that the title of all bills shall fully describe Ihe subject matter of the ame biennial sessions of tl e legislature the homestead exemption & prohibiten against the borrowing of money fur any purpose, beyond a given sum, unless authorized by a direct vo'e of the people. . We a re now in the prosecution cf a new yetemof internal improvements: much preferable to the pust, because it is f..iind, d upon individual canital and enteri . t . . j priee, arm win consequently beconducted with econo ul"7 lo individual but l K;al rmhnrraaameiita and difficulties similar to those in which the State became involved a few years since That polV is of doubtful expediency which de-' ..j ,u :j ,.f .. a . . "J, cxi,,K"c7 tuen ue"f1"? ine 1,1(1 r tf?e Stat? Treasury or the revenues Cities and Counties in Its prosecution. It will be found that by learin the enterprise and capital of our people free to seek investments aided by a liberal legislation in the Tants of char'tPrn we shall b able to commmr Z fi I .. U,".e. We ,H,,al I De a0 ,0 coni"l('nc' "d finish those public works that will rePny 1,10 capital invested, and will in their prosecul'0" be characterized with economy, and in due time greatly increase the resources of the State. 'Ihe legislature will no doubt thus aid the compa nies, which now are or may hereafter be engaged in the prosecution of such works exhibiting alike the enterprise and energy of our people, while it will be also careful to impose II needful check and restrictions. Intimately connected with the proeeo'ion of thee works is the faithfully keeping, on cur pan, i ivi .lat. past contracts and engagements with our creditors. It will require the utmost economy and prudence to preserve the credit and contracts otj tbe Slate unimpaired. I lake (his occasion, in the commencement of my duties, to express to you this day, od through you to our fellowcitizens, the assurance, tbat no effjrt of mine sballbe spared to keep fair Ihe credit of tbe State, and faithfully to keep an our past contract. We ahould now mutually covenant and agree with each other, as the representatives of our people, that we will maintain at any and every sacrifice, the credit of Iudiana upon our past engagements j and that we will not beieafter pledge htr faith for another dollar of public money. It is not only our duty to tske this position aud keep it firmly, but to go one step further. By increased property subject to laxatiou. as well as new objects of revenue, to be reached by ju.l.ciou ene-tmeois, w msy, so soon a the small amount of 6 per cent, treasury notes now ontstanding is provided for, command means to create a finking Fund whereby tbe extinguishment of our State debt may be immediately thereafter commenced. And a it mnt require much deliberat,on,a..d pe.haps tbe labor of moie than one session, to perr et neb a system, it mibt be well that it consideration be speedily entered upon. With prud. nce and economy in our exper.ditu-.s, and a proper application of what has been saved from Ihe Wieck of the pa-l. with tbe increasing objects of taxation, nur Stale can, under such a system, committee the extinguishment of a portion of our public liabilities, and ibeieby soon -,-ii the burthens ..f laxati .ii for Hut bjeci, ad open the way for a more enlarged syt-m or free schools and other worthy euterpiise, that will demand the resources of our growing State. And we may be rully astuied that our common constituents look with intense anxiety to the Commencement of such a system, as will ultimately con-ummate tbe extinguishment of out State debt. Within the lat few years, several bills have received the sai.ctDn of ih LegULiore. refenin claim against the biate to ci.mmisiot.e.s, or o:her specially constituted tribunal, for adjustment or adjudicati .w. I think Ihe roiiey of j rucn reietenres ery questionable, especially when accomI pauied ly preambles or recitations, aiiming a established, mallei, which sl.ouU be left lobe proved br evidence, thus lorestalling the action of the tiibonal pioposrdly es'abli'hed iuvengaie !De merits i,f the case, and depiivini ihe State of her lel df.r.r. nr;..:i- u. rl. ....... ..1.1.. . J. ' -rK.s,.,, wi.n appropriate eiimM.ittee, poa.ea.ing the p.. wer to send rr persou and papets, can sufficiently invest igaVe all claim presented by citizen against Ihe State. If such claim are Jost, they should b paid, and il is much better to appropriate money directly fiom tha treasury for tbat purpose, tbsu in this indirect mode, to cripple Ibe treasury by subjecting il ti demand uncertain in amount, and f.equeutly unjust in their cbaiacier. It would be much better t- remove at once the privilege of the State, and allow all penons to bring suit against her ia the courts, as iu other ee. than thu I opeu tha door to only a pnvileged few. who may by management and influence succeed in procuiinj a uference by this species of special legislati n. The practical effect of the reference of these supposed claims against the Stale, is to lend them lo some tribunal, not to ascertain Ihe lights of Ibe parties in the controversy, but usually to determine how much the State is able to bear. It would be much better for the State that tbe lepresentatives should diiectly vote the money out of Ihe lieasory, as past experience indicates that the Slate ha gieatly uffeted, when tbe Legislature bas been persuaded to create speci'l tribunals i,t settle rrjected claim.'. Tbe success attending our becrolent institutions is a subject that we should be proud of t and it is your duty to sustain them by liberal appropriations. No part of tbe butdens upon our people are paid with more ebeerfilness than tho laid for sustaining the benevolent institution of the State. While this i your duly, it is alike indispensable tbat suitable checks should be provided for all expenditures of money for thia or any other purpose authoiized by lasr. While piinriples of economy in all public expenditures should never be lt sight of.il i equally impoitaot tbat we should be careful to guaid ourselves rgaintt extreme. Il is just and uglit that all the officers id the employ of the people should iccrive an adequate compensation for their ervife such compensation a will enlist the cspable and tiustwminy.

tale the coropmies of the State, in prcuring aid to carry on the work they are s energetically pressin; forward. I cannot lor bear to say ibat it would gratify me to see tin subject attracting vour early nid favorable attention. 1 here is no subject ol more gnnernl ci.inplaint thnri thn delay attending the settlement of eKttea in our Pro bate Courts ; and the espouse cont ir.ted thnrewitli. It is most respectfully su ted that no changn which can be adopted, will bring about tha reform so much required, no well as one w Inch would make the pay t.f tlie officer adjnn-litlr-riiif tha law, dependent noinewliRt on tlie settlement of estates; and which ahould operate as a mutual check upon tlie representative of Ilm decadent and the court. It It a source of ct rnplaint on the part ol our fellow citizmi. ihM tM frequently timo is spent in our State legislature in the discuaaion of questions f a national character, that more appropriately belong to another tribunal. That these q.iestKms bring with thern inta your discussion angry and violent denunciations, harsh and bitter epill.eta, and are calculated tu creat party spirit and Itiucs, will not be denied. W lule Ibe right t express the sentiments ul the people of thu Stat tl.roogh their represenintive on q-iestion of a national diameter, will not be controverted, yet as citizens snd representatives of the people, we shall find the most of our lime well employed, if we will carefully and watchfully attend tn the increas ing at'a growing mtniest ol tue state. We can most profitably employ ourselves in devising means to develops tier resource to make her municipal regulations firm, uniform and etabl and to avoid special and partial Pglalation. Oy such means we may be ablu gradually to reduce the principal and intorest of our public debt and give an education tn every child oi the State. When we shall have attnnded to these things we shall have but littln time to spend in bitter party debates. We should at least endeavor to maintain in all our discussions and intercourse with one another, a spirit ol harmony, concession and compromise, not forgetting that high conserv ative position, aa a stale, that we have always occupied, avoiding alike, the extremes of the north as well as the south, remembering that we are one tnembornf this great confederacy, and that it is our high mission to allay the ex citement of one portion of this Union against the other, by avoiding all appeals to sectional interest. 1 he Wabash and Lrte Uanal is accomplishing, as It progress., all that its friends predicted by the arrangements made by the State with our creditors. Its progress equals the expectation of its warmest friend.. Due cre dit should be given to the board of trustees for Ihe ener gy they have displayed in pressing forward this great work. It is your plain dutv in good laitli to carry out an the atipulations and agreements entered into with our creditors in connection with this work, and in no man ner whatever throw any obstacles in the way of its ad vanceinent. If this work progresses the next two tears as it has the past, We shall have, by that time, the waters ol the lakes united with the Mississippi. We then ahall have in actual operation tha longest canal in the United States, carrying upon its bosom the productions of the moat fertile part o the Mississippi valley. While we are thus fondly anticipating the future, the mention of this great work to-dny, brings to our mind the painlul rerrec' tinn, that one who was officially connected with its pro areas, and who took so deep an interest in its speedy completion, ha lately fallen. Thomas II. Dlnke, died in Ihe midst of his uselulnees, having hi led a prominent place in the history ol ins country ; ne was a man oi honor and integrity ; he had the confidence of all who knew him, and his loss is a public one. I repair to the station which my fellow citizens have asaigned me with great diffidence, acknowledging my inexperience, distrusting my own abilitv to accomplish the work balore me. Were it not that 1 ahall have tlie aid of your councils, that of tha other departments of the goverinent, and that of my fellow citizens generally, I should shrink from its responsibilities. But trusting that we all shall devoutly look to that being, who is alone able to impart wisdom and knowledge, that all of our acts may be done in his fear, and with a firm reliance on his blessings, I undertake the discharge ct the duties, deter mined to make the interest of Indiana, the first object of my care, and to devote all my time to her welfare. JOSEPH A. WRIGHT. Indianapolis, Dec. 5, 1849. Gov. DuNNiNii' Message. The State Journal, peaking of thia message, admits that it is "a fair recital of tha present condition of our Slate affairs," but, respecting his allusions to the policy of the gen tral government, it remark! "Had the Governor seen proper to confine his re m arks to measures of State policy, his message i ,. c - . ' 3 .1 . II. I woulJ havve contained nothing very objectionable : but, it is marred by the endorsement of the British tariff of 1346." The Journal then copies this objectionable matter. amounting in all to twenty-three lines, and following up it slan? of "British Tariff of 134G," talks about . i . . , tho superiority of a home market," and the neces - sity of protection" to manufactures to enlarge it. We have no patience to listen to such stuff at this late day, and cannot reconcile ourselves to the task of showing the titter absurdity of the Journal's attempt to bolster up this obsolete, exploded, dead and buried humbug, in view of the true interest of the people of this State, and of enlightened public opinion upon the subject of the true principles of politicat economy. We only allude to it for the purpose of noting; the Journal's position, and to show that it r-till favors tlie dishonest polic7 of gi"ff "aid and cotris5rt" to Capital at the expense of Labor, and the rewards to which it is justly entitled. It is an addi - tional proof that "the Bourbons learn nothing and forget nothing." Though we are no advocates for Ion Gubernatorial disquisitions about national affairs, we conceive that a Governor would be derelict in duty not to allüde to uch a topic. We conreive that the people have gome degree of interest in national policy ; and while this ii the case, it is highly proper for the Govertior to ailude to it in an official communication, whenever he may believe that the prosperity of the State demands it. Beyond t!ise limits Gov. Dunninjr mrely has not travelled on the subject of the tariff; and his rvni.-s.rks on this poiut are decidedly the beA in his whole message. FashionaB'.k Hats. Members of the Legislature, and others, who desire to obtain Hats of the most faHhionable and best quality, at very low prices, si.oulJ call at Slinrpe's B,Mt, Shoe and Hat Store, a few doors wcet of Meridian street, north side. Ihey wiSI there hud a very excellent article tt prices to suit, juite as cheap, according to quality, na at Cincinnati or elsewhere. No gentleman ehould pur chase, without making a call as above. If tin? don't get a (rood bargain, we will give them our paper a yar for nothing. Co.ng eess. The Washington correspondent (f the New Yoik Commercial Advertiser, thus prognosti cates in his letter of November 9ih : The very first thing that will engage the attention of the Senate will be the presentation to that body. by certain bouthern benators, of the resolutions or, the Southern Cmventinn lately held in Mississippi, pripoc.ng a dissolution ol the union, in cae Con gress should countenance tno Wilmot Proviso, or abolish slavery in tuts district. Mr. Calhoun is to take the h'nd in this business. A number of other papers of similar import, from State Legislatures and county meetings are to be formally paraded. Tiit.ii a series of resolutions, declaring that the South will sect-do as soon as Congress shall commit the aforesaid invasion of her rights will be brought f-rward and made the theme of excited speeches. The fourth act in the play is to be the introduction of a new set of resolutions, to be passed in December by the Virginia Legislature, adopting the recommenda tion of the Mississippi Convention, and directing her Senators to retire from the Senate and declare the Ancient Dominion to be out of tho Union, when the Wilmot rnvifo r an act abolishing slavery shall Ias. The fifth act will represent some rich scenes the admission of California, prohibiting slavery, t tie admise'inti t two California, am t-elavrry Senators, an aba udi nimmt fr two or three days of their seats by two or three Senators aud Representatives, and another Souther caucus and Southern addres.

fj A l.cnf co psper in Intlisna says that Gen. Jo Lane Van fight two battles, while OldZick is gelling ready to fight no. A part of Lane's brigade were so much bent on fighting two battles to Old Zt k's one, tbat they hurried awsy from Buena Viata before the job was half finished.-Dayltn Jiumal. In reading tbe above fale charge from tho Dayton Journal, which has frequently been repealed by Ihe noie reck less aheet, we are reminded of the adJreaa of tho Uoston Bard to the li'iellers of Andrew Jsrkson: Poor, worthies reptiles, still go on.

The Daily State Journal of the 3d hist., conta'nia an arlit.iV, under the head of "The legislature, the burjtn of Lieh id, the C-n vent ion io he held for tlie amendment of the Cotitution. Since the days when, Ihe A spake, or since ihe conversion of the man of Tartu. a more miraculous conviction, than that which lias overcome the State Journal, has not occurred. But a little while atnc, other editors of the same political fakh, lamented the pervcrseucks of our neighbor, in that he was too blind to see, that the people were determined upon the amendment of the Constitution, and that therefore, it wna but the part of wifdorn in the chief organ t speak approvingly. and in srasnn. Hut it would not ! It was a dumb dog, and could not bark! But now its eyes are opened, and it has been suddenly brought to a realizing sene of its obdurate condition. The out-cast of Israel has been gath ered in." Can. we hope that it is no longer one of the "grerdy dogs which can never have enough ! This matter could be more easily determined, if, instead of trying to justify its short-comings, it had acknowledged its contumacy in a spirit of humilia tion and repentance! This only would I learn of you, Received ye the spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith V "Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of tlie law, but by the faith, even we have believed, that we might be justi fied by the faith, and not b the works of the law : for by the works of the law shall no ßesh be jutifed." Permit U" to rcmnrk, ty way of improvement, that it is a fortnnate thing fr our neighbor, that he has a newspaper at command, thr..u-li which to make it known to the world, that he "roted fr the convention." We are quite urc that in ihn absence of this imHrtnt announcement, none would have suspect ed him of any such thing,--especially in this vicini ty, who best know his personal sentiments in time past. Will it be uncimrteotis to ask. Did be vote an open ticket ? Like all recent converts, our neighbor's zeal is ex cecdingly ardent. We hope ire will not permit it to outrun hi discretion. He should not suppose tl.a every body enn jump at a conclusion, as easily as he can ; for it does not reasonably follow, because he can make up his mind in a week, as tu all the amend ments necessary to be made to the Constitution, tha all the people of the Sute can be of the same opiti ion, without investigation, discussion, or reflection. But few amendments hive yet been proposed, and even these few have not been thoroughly discussed. Even those who readily agreed to the general issue in 1 favor ofa convention, may, aud very likely will, differ materially as 13 particular propositions. Tlie Journal specifies what it favors, as fallows : '1st. Biennial sessions of tbe Legislature. 3d. The election of Judges cf the Supreme and Intr ; cu,t Courts, and all other State officers, by the people. I 3d. A general Banking, Law, with ample provisions to j prolectbii holders. 4 tri.

I further says, it Is in favor of electing the Del sTtea at the April election; of holding the Graven- : tin on the 1st of June ; and of submitting; the new j Constitution to the People for approval and adoption W1 first Monday of October of next rear, w could suggest at least oue very important proposition, and perhaps more, in addition to those : which the Journal declares for. But taking its list as 'it s'ands, and we think there is something f.r discusamn. The 2d and 5th, it is true, have lontr been adocated by the democratic party; and if the whig! . ftre rejdy to agree to them, they are settled. But; r people 'dy to decide upon a general Hanking j i,!f ttIU if u,,d,'r wlial penalties and restrictitms! , Wi,l I,Hl tl,e PPIe deir disens-i.m of this and ,,,er objects, by candidates for deh'gatt-s, a well as ' tbe- itewspapers ? J j Can the Slate be thoroughly canvassed bycandi-j ' datw " early as April ; nr will the newspaper- have ; time anJ opportunity so soon as that to present these: topics. discueS them, and elicit the opinion of the . ntnnlf 1 W--Y ! It seems to us not ; aud that the Journal is rather j hasty. This is the mo?t important civil matter that can come before the people. To it they should devote j the utmost attention, ti that when the rrxidl is preserited iu a renewed charter of the Fundamental Law, it shall be a witnrtst and a inonutncnt of the! Wisdom i'f the People of the Sta'c. We cannot, in the hurry of the season, dwell upon this subject, important as it 1. V will suggest hawerer, for th consideration of the Legislature and the public, that all the objects professed tu be denired by the Journal can be better accomplished, by holding the election for Delegates to thj Convention on the FOURTH OF JULY, the great Sabbath of Freedom, when all men should be influenced only by the principles of Truth and Justice; that the session of the Convention shall com ins nee on the first of Seplumber, a much healthier and pleasanter season than tlie mid-summer months, when men would be impa- : tient of confinement and labor; and that the new Constitution should be submitted to the people on the first Monday in November, the auniversr ry of one of the new-world discoveries of Christopher Columbus ! P. S. We think the above a sufficient rejoinder to the Journal's attempt to settle off-hand the most im-p-ra.it matter t- come before the legislature, and that too, as it vainly imagines, for its especial benefit. All ire seriously ask of that body is, what we shall no doubt obtain without, asking, to-wit: that they will act deliberately, and in accordance with their own honest convictions of what the public interest may dt-mand.

THE 3UUKLTS. Hogs. We are compelled by a press of business to make our statements on the pork market aa short and comprehensible as possible. This we do by stating that the prices range here, for average weight -I00 lbs hug. $22,10. We have heard of offers fur good lots at $1,65 gross, the sellers demanding $1.75. At Madison on Mon

day, 300 good hogs s'ld at 2,60; and an average lot, at 2.65. Also the product of a lot of 800 hog shoulders, 21 cents; eide., cents; hanw, 4J cents, from salt; head and leaf lard at 01 cents, in barrels. We are informed that tho Madia n market is plen tifully supplied, although the packers are exerting themselves to keep ahead, and that there are as many hogs there as will require fifteen days to slaughter. Also that com command from 30 to 40 cents per buh?l at that city. If thece be true statements, drovers must calculate for themselves as to tl.cir chances of profit. We notice the prices at C.ncinnatt with an active market, on Monday, of lots, dividing on SOU lbs, at 2.C2 a 2.75; and the average price for 21Ulbsatid up wards, 2.G7c a 2.75. Ft extra heavy, over $2.75 is paid. Prices are improving. In Louisville, ihe prices range about the same as at Cincinnati, with a decided upward tendency, according to the Louisville Courier, which has late advices from New Orleans, and which it states shows an improvement in the price of Pork. We will here täte, that Mr. Blyihe. (whose establishment vc shall notice again,) informs us that he is ready U pick, and that in the best order, any quantity of hogs n terms admitting of their entire delivery at the Oiiio river, as l..v as can be done by driving, no mat'.er vvhul ih prire. Hence, if nothing is gained in uio iey. Vie rUk. pain, and toil is; and it would be well for sellers t o; suit him, or our other packers, bef-re gning ahead to- fast. Agent of State. .At the tin"? tlti oiSce was created, we were in possession of a large amount of property, which required the attention of the State. That property being disposed of, there remains no necessity fur an agent, and the office ought to be abolished. All that M now required .f an Agent (the payment of our interest) can just as well be attended to by the Treasurer, and at a paving of from ihree to five thousand dollars annually. This amount, certainly, is worth saving to the people, and we hope their representatives will do it. Stale Journal. Mr. Collins, the present (Whig)gent of State, did not feern to bo of the opinitr expressed above, in his letter to the Governor, which we published some time ago. Perhaps he forg tt there was a democratic majority io the General Assembly, and that probably the new Agent Would be of the same stripe ! If all the old State Bonds had been exchanged fur new one, the Journal's suggestion would be more weigiity ; but there is something to do in that respei t j ot ; so we think we shall require an Agent at least one year more. Even after that we fIhiII have to make an Agent of some 13ank or Broker at New York, and they are not remarkably modest in charging for servicts.
