to was Hun. Nath'l Albertson. It was made solely to relieve Mr. Alberlaon from unjust ml improper niputaHons. I The conversation which took place in my room early last week, to which particular reference is made in Mr. Owen's letter No. 2, will need some explanation. My 1 remark, ''Mr. Owen I know you would scora to offer a bribe to any man," was made immediately after Mr.

Owen had stated that the um of tivc thousand dollars had been offered to some individual to support Mr. Bright for the U- S. Senate and indignantly repelled. Our mutual friend Dr. Lewis's recollection is distinct as to those points, but he does not recollect to have heard the name of any individual mentioned as making it. I state unhesitatingly that the name of a distinguished Democrat was distinctly named by Mr. Owen, as the person making the oder. As to the exact words u . J by me as to tUo advantages to accrue, ray recollection slightly differs from some ol the individuals nrrsent. as would likelv prove the case in all desultory conversations. The tatement of my friend, Col. Miller, I bclicvo to be1 the correct one. And here I would speak of the character of any inducements that were h,-!d out. A frieid addressed mo ' sometime iast August on the subject of the Senatorial election. 1 hat tnend knew ol an intention which 1 iiad formed to semove to Oreron and that I hoped for some appointment from the General Government, as I have in manv instances stated to rov intimate friends at home, That friend knew my wishes, and stated that Mr. Bright had -Treat influence at Washington that he was the intimate friend of Gen. Cass, w!k would likely be next ' President that he was the in in who secured General Lane's appointment as Governor of Oregon, and it Would be to my interest to sustain Mr. Bright. I have never given any one any reason to connect Mr. Bright with any hopes which may have been held out to me. I have no evidonce that Mr. Bright has any other knowledge that there is on earth such an individual as myself, than from the fact of my election as Representative, and as such he has sent ine a number of public documents. Mr. Owen states that he read to me his reply (No. 2) to Mr. f'hapman this is true but I never expressed satisfaction with it, but several times requested him to change it materially. This he declined to do, and urged the 11 ccssity of sending it as he had written it. My last remark to .Mr. Owen, as lie left niY room, was, '"if it will do vom anv good 'o it." Alter he had left, in spcakmg of its contents to Or Lewis, I told him the word 4-raonov" must be erased this was done. I received the letter of Mr- Chamnan irrowimr out of Mr. Owen's letters, and answered it, which answer Mr. Owen has published (N . 6.) The delivering of Mr. Chapman's letter to me was delayed lor nearly a whole day longer than I had been led to expect. During this time Mr. Owen called froquently and made ol me the request that he might superintend any correspondence growing out ol it. 1 (In' not tell .Wr. Uwen, that he should or should not. but I s:iid to inv two friends and room-mates. Doctors Lewis r.i.d Hutchinson, that in a matter so nearly affecting my l.onor, no interested party like Mr. Owen, could ever inspect it More hcuig sent.

O wen entered my room and asked, any leiter from Mr. Chapman' I answered, "yes .' and 1 have replied to it." He evinced much chagrin left my room in a li'irry, and I soon after received his re piest (N . 5 ) I have now only tj reply to the Kexerknti Jamrs Strickland and it must le gratifying to the friends of' Robert Dale Owen, to sec tins Minister of the Gosptl stepping forward in the most chivalrous manner to his support. Mr. Strickland was, from every external manifestation, my near fi iend. He has lieen for years the recipient of my bounty a student in my office he ac--ompanied ine from home solely depending 011 iny promise to use my influence in obtaining for him a Clerkship. From my knowledge of his incompetency. I rcfti-.-d t present his name for nomination for either principal or assistant clerk of the House. But I did obtain a promise that he should be appointed clerk to oue of the standing committees of the House. I have rccently learned that he expressed himself much incensed at me and the first evidence 1 had of any unfriendly feeling was the leiter (No. 17) which fr. Owen has published. He was careful to keep even the fact of its existence a seer, to mo until just before its appearance, when I ' leaiiied it accidentally- I may here stale that liie course which I pursued in relation to his (Strickland's) appointment, met with the concurrence of ail his friends in the Legislature. On fiiday last Mr. Owen called me from my scat in the House, and st ued t me as there were already so many candid ites from our sc. -turn of the State, that I must conse-it to withdraw Stri k'and's name as an ajiplieant for the clerkship all mied to. Still regarding Strickland as my friend, I refused to ' 1 1 se, unless he would he furnished with something equivalent. In the evening Strickland came to my room, appeared ns usn?l friendly (which cxiernal demeanor he maintamed up to t M last time I met him) and stated he had declined the clerkship in consideration of Mr. Owen's success, and that he w.is to receive the clerkship of the I eu; ion committee on "Revision and Phraseology" of which the Hon. R. D. Owen is chairman. Mr. Owen has dwelt much on bribes and improper inducements. This may be a proper one, but 1 regard it as a part of the "tairty piece of silver'' which can buy a modern Judas. He retails several conversations, pnit of which are correct, and others (to use the lightest term they can receive from me) are "misapprehensions." As far as regards my obligations to vole for anv man for I". S. Senator, I am untrammelled. I ever "staled publicly that I would stand committed to no individual, only be should be a Democrat and pUdged to certain measures. Many of my private friends arc enthusiastically warm lor Mr. O.vcii. That he is not the unanimous choice of the Democracy of my c nir.tv might be inferred from the fact that when he last ran for Congress he was beaten 1-1 votes, in a coauty so nearly divided that no one knows which party predominates. I did speak freely (lait only to Mr. Owen's warm iriends) of his course in what is termed the -'Badger Debate.'' Certain citizens of my county, for whose opinion I entertain respect, did publicly urge that debate as a reason why Mr. Owen should' not he elected. 1 did state that my understanding of his p sition in that debate, coupled with the feeling at home "would perhaps. justify me in voting agaoisi Mr. Owen."' That I then, or at any other time, told Mr. Strickland 1 would vote for Mr. Bright must, for the present, be answered by a simple denial. I have talked eoaiafontially to many members andothmm in relation to my feelings towards Mr. Owen. If to any of them I have made statements contradictory to t!toe now made in relation to my position as regards' Mr. Ow en. I now remove all restriction of secrecy connected with any such conversation. Inconvlussion I must say, it is to me painful tobe thus ade conspicuous 1 de, red to remain mnet und unob rved. as consistent with my duty as Representative of .. 1 my constituents In a controversy (conducted solely by myself ) I know I hare to contend with fearful odds. Mr. Owen is an old politician I, a novice. As regards any question of in tegrity or veracity I am willin to submit it for decision to those who honored i.ie with the position which I now oeoapy. GEO.

Mr. Newman reported back the section conferring power of local legislation, fcc., on the county boards, with a recommendation that it be laid upon the table. Mr. Borden was opposed to concurring in the report. Mr. Stevenson had introduced the section, for the purpose of giving legislative power over small matters. If the Legislature would have porer to accomplish these objects, without a positive enactment in the Con stitution, he would not insist on the section. Mr. Newman thought all laws shonld be general as tar as possible. A -syst cm of county legislation might he worse than the present. All necessary power would 1 be given to tbecoioity boards, such as opening and regulating reads, without this soction. Mr. Borden thought that it would bo diiltcult to get along without some local legislation. Mr. Chapman moved to concur in the report, with an amendment, that legislative power may be conferred noon the county hoards under a general law. Mr. Pettit opposed the whole matter. It would be creating ninety-one county I, Central Legislature. H latures and one giand for having the laws uniand oae Legislature would le sufficient. Mr. Wolfe thought it would be impossible to get along rhout some local legislation. Mr. Chapman was for rcjulatms the nov.er of the eooaxy hoards, uader a general la.w.

On motion of Mr. Dunn of Jetiereea, the whole wh

Mr. Dobson reported back the section, providing that j no person shall hold more -than one lucrative office, amended, with a proviso, that counties having less than i one thousand polls may elect the same person clerk, re- ' corder and auditor, and postmasters whose annual income is nnder $1)0, may hold State othres.

They could perforin of the right of amendment and repeal being reserved to their duties by deputies. the Legislature. It was said this would prevent men Mr. Dobson said, postmasters were the creatures of from embarking their money in Banking.

Mr. McClelland moved tore-commit, with instructions . to strike out so much as relates to postmasters. j Mr. Wolfe said, postmasters had only the franking j tiriviloon in relation tn th.. tintiiniTa of taaair affines. The ' provision would not apply to the towns, but to sparsely t se ttled neighborhoods, where it was dimcult to procure any person to hold the office. i Mr. Davis of Parke moved to amend the instructions, so that no man shall hold more than one office, where the compensation exceeds $50 per annum. The dix usion was continued bv Messrs. Bracken and Steele; when Mr. Gordon moved the previous question ; which being sustained, was put on I lie instructions, respectively, and decided in the negative. The section then passed, by a vote of ayes 85. noes41.

( &.C., were read a third time; when Mr. Nave moved to re-commit, with instructions to strike out and insert, that the Legislature may organize the militia in such manner as they may deem expedient, not inconsistent with the Constitution and laws of the United States, and may provide for the discipline tif officers, and for the organization of volunteer corps. Mr. Clark of Hamilton moved to ninend, so that persons conscicnciously scrupulous shall not be coaiHelled to bear arms Mr. Pepper of Ohio opposed the re-commitment, and entered into a defence of the sections, ns reported. They j took away the commissions of all officers now in office, j and left the field open to the young men of the State, and this, he thought, would materially aid in an organiz num. Mr. Niles had honed, that the article, as reported. ; would have been stricken out. and the provision onlv i left, which designates the nersons liable to ncifo.m mil- , itarv duty. Th- sections were ro-eommitted and brought iätek in a simpler form. He opposed the instriatums, b cause they added to the sections under consideration. He was glad that the motto, that he had seen in bis hoyhood, on the knapsacks of soldiers, that "in peace Ave should prepare lor war," was getting out ol date The f.-elin-rs of nonce nnd universal hrolhcrho id were taking place or warlike preparations.

Bank MMMMttac the pending qucsiioii being on the amendment oUered on vesterday by jIr. Hall, in favor of a State Bank and Branches. Mr. Graham il arrit-K said, it ..is ewdeni to nun. . . mm . - . . a. that the n icstioa s. oul.l first be settled, whether there s , .;d he Banks or m he was opposed to ibe creation ( of any Bank ; bat shook it be A t ruuaod to have Banks, J then the question would naturally arise, uuui Kind oi ( Banks we would have? He had an amendment he wouid like to o!l r, in opposit.'m t i any Bann". Mr. Huiuiltui said, this w is IM tm question; but befietiag the business wants o.' the State demanded Banks, he would proceed with the argument. There were two descriptions ot' banking brought before us. He w is in favor of a State Bank, in a uux'ilicd form, and free ir.uiking, founded 011 United Stat- s an-. State stocks. It was important that the paper of the ßur.tv- ist.ibbsii eel should heat lea-t equal to that of th - sai 'OJiiding States. In relation to lue State Bank, he iu. IV notes ; had liora always good. She dilnol suspend sjceic ,''ay- 1 ment until the Banks in the other States surrounding 1 had suspend .d. It was contended t.iat the Bank, by the intervention ol hüls, ciiaiged a gMAtOK interest than i was allowed by law. Tins was no doubt true. It was wrong in policy, and should be prevented in a new char- j Ur. The syst, in of reports by the Branches f tho State Bank, was admirably calculated to sustain the crc'iit of t;.f whole institution. The principle of the mutual liability of l!ic Branches, was one of the best features; and, more than anything else, had sustained the credit of the whole. In tiie divided staio of public opinion, there being ' manv friends ol our State Bank in consequence of it notes always being good uid also many very zealous friends of free banking, ho thought, that to exclusively adopt cilher of the systems, would greatly endanger the Constitution, in a votj of the people. The circulation I of the State is now bei w een six and s"ven millions. He , thought that a State Bank, sjosUaW lb the present, wiih proper modifications, might lie established with a capital of $2,(XX),(XK). This would leave some $4.000,000 for Banks founded upon public securities. We would then have an alternative to fill back upon, should ei'her of the systems lc I'ouimI not to answer. Before the question was taken thu Convention ad journed. la the afternoon the Bank question was resumed. Mr. Niies said, bis health, tic leaied, would not enable him to in ike a satisfactory speech ; but he wouid endeavor to be brief. No principle should be incorporated in the organic law that was not right. Wc should be careful not to incorporate in the Constitution merely legislative provisions, ibr thes? are liable to change. In view of tiles - positions he would remark tint there is in the State a diversity of opinion on this subject. Indeed, there are lour partTes in this body. First, those who are opposed to all Banks, but not numerous enough to firm a majority. The second, are those who are in favor of a Sta'c State Bank. The third, in favor of Free Banks, a name somewhat odious but not so in principle. The fourth, those who favor lioth Free a" ' State Banks. In these classes tra was found amongst those who favor Free Banks. Banks, he believed, were essential to National and State prosperity. They would continue to exist for many years. Were we t prohibit Banks, as long as neighboring Slates had such institutions, we could not get rid of a raoer circulation. Indeed, we coud not dispense with Banks, fjr in our neighboring C1.1. Iii:..... i.u u 1 rt l State. Illinois, although she had prohibited Banks, he knew of a Bank in the city of Chicago that had more than a million of circulation. Laws against Banks would be a dead letter here as well as in Illinois. The nmendmcnt of the gentleman from Gibson (Mr. Hall) proposed a State Bank, and this brought hiin 'to the question and the issue now oelore the Convention, lhe S'ate Bank of Indiana was managed bv the most shamighied men in State men for whom he had the highest ! respect and it was in consequence of lids that she had attained her high character. The State Bank of Indi ana was one of the greatest monopolies with which he was acquainted. What was the principle on which it was founded? For every hundred thousand dollars they could issue three hundred thousand dollars. This was denied to all other citizens of the .St ite because the State Bank of Indiana has the exclusive privilege of Banking, render, git a monopoly in thr most odiou sense of the term. It had been contended that the Bank was earning mo ney for the support of common schools. A report had beeu made to this effect that was widely circulated and : had much influence. It was stated in that report thai a large sum had been made for vommon schools. But : delicacy should not prev nt 1 from recurring to the ; ! statement made by the wc tleman from Ohio, (Mr. Pep- ' ne,-) that in one transaction with the Morris Canal nnd Banking Company more had been lost than gained. The loss of near a million of dollars was more than had been earned for common schools. It might lie said that other money was lost : but this I s was in connection with the Ii T.n-r.-wis another nrincinle. in connection with this subject, that had much force with him. The powers conferred upon the present owners of the Bank wouiu uesccnu 10 nieir ncirs: or tncy mignt sen to whomsoever they pleased. His argument was this: v;is it goouVtV'lioy to entnist the money of the State 111 this manner, liable, as it always would lie. to a total loss? No ne would know into whose hands the Bank miQlit ultimately fall. In regard to t n if Banking, it should give a security to tl d beyr.nd the probai.ilitv of failure. This wa one of tho nrinci.tles of free Banking. Besides, bv opening up a wide fidd of competition a still oreater security was alliird-d. He held , . e . . ... .1 . , - . 1 , 1 cooki ie auopieo, wunoui me oaious rdr, and rendered perfectly safe t.o the j'b'd'ji i -ccUMt y witli a sworn offithe p'iblic would always know preciseilation a Bank might stand. We are d of securities hoiild I. pl.-W I ip ask Shr hot rtffages tic Ukeo! He answered, no; pi ice a prohibition in the Constitution,

for thi was a measure for legislation, and he had no herniation in saying tow should not be done. He wroulu say, however, that United States and State bonds would Ire the safest securities, but if the Governor is correct in his calculation, Indiana may pay oil her public debt in in seventeen years j other States would do the sirae, and this would make it inexpedient to designate our State securities ; but there would still be other securities.

in" the votes of all the members of the Legislature elected, to nass or reDeal a law. This would render the capitalist perfectly safe, because there would be no danger of improper legislation. This principle would be a great safeguard to the pcoplo, and would add grcatly to the character of the Banks. Mr. Read of Clark did not rise to make war upon the State Bank. For the last eight or ten years that Bank nau oeen well coiiuucieu. 11 was 10 me uionopoi, puneip'c of the Bank thai he objected. There were, indeed, thirteen monopolies, and a new Bank could not be cstab lished without the unanimous consent of all the branches. W one instance a branch was ordered at Logansport by the State Board, and obtained the consent of all the branches but one. That branch prevented a flounshiii city from obtaining Bank facilities. He then read from a publish id report to show that a million dollars was lost to the State, in an effort to negotiate a loan for the extension of Bank capital. He then referred to the issue of Bank scrip to pay six or seven hundred thousand dollars to the Bank lor advances made for internal improvement. This large sum would not have leen lost but for the Bank. This is a loss taken from the school fund, and which will have to be repaid by taxation, if repaid at all. He was old enough to know something abtut the first State Bank a Bank whose piper for a time was received in the Land Office, and he rememltcrcd w ell ( tie time when a man would alniot have lost his scalp to have said anything against that bank. That bank however, had long since gone by the board. He now had a hundred dollar bill in bis pocket, of that Bank, signed by Nuthaniel Ewing as President, and Isaac Blackford as Cashier, that was entirely w orthless. The State Bank of Illinois had also exploded, just after a report that all was safe. He was in fuvor of safe Banks, founded on United States or State securities : the greatest object, with him, leing, to secure the bill-holders. He replied to Mr. B u nion , and said, his arguments, in reference to plank roads nnd railroads, and their connection with fr Banks, was brought forward as a scare-crow ; but ho believed it would not scare anv one here. He had no fault to lind with the State Bank. She had been well conducted since Mr. Palmer's report. He owned stock in two Branch and knew that her dividends were not enormous. It bad yie'ded him, after deducting taxes, but nlioat eight per cent., at a time, too, when tuouey was worth ten per cent, Air. Nave was sorry the amendment . in reference to a Stale Bank, bad been ottered. He would have been 'rlad to have fouuht the free Banks on their own merits. fwa a 1 1 . 1 a- - ine loss 01 a minion 01 u uars, ny iur. Merrill. Iiad nothing to do with the merits of the Bank. The demerits of the State Bank would not prove the utility of f reo Banks. He then proceeded to draw a picture of free Banks in operation, to the extent of some five or six in each of several of our cities. The consequence would be, a ilep-eciation beyond the precincts of the city where they are located, and the notes would have to be shaved to turn them into good limits. Before the question was taken, tho Convention adjoiirned. SATrr.r v, January 4, 1351. Tlw Convention wa o; cried by prayer by the Rev. Mr. Badger. Mr. Chapman, from the committee on accounts, made a report on Mr. Sheet's account. All the account they deemed reasonable, except the price of the carpet. This th; v thought too high, inasmuch as the Hall was uod, of evenings, for othei purposes than those of the t'on- .. ;,;.., ......K ...1 ...1 ,(Vir ,.,..., ,,;u.r tuun ,v tie Convention. Thc rcp,M:t was :lid llpon tjIC t.,i,e. The resolution, offered by Mr. Milroy, providing that nli Lath terms and other words in loreiirn language shall be left out o the amended Constitution, and English w ords, conveying the same meaning, substituted in their place, came up lor consideration Mr. Smith of Ripley moved that the resolution be laid upon the table.

Mr. Gordon opjMised the resolution as a Buncom!' nr(,p0siton We had passed a section, invitins foreign c to , .shores; but gentlemen seemed horrilicd at the uen of retaining a few legal teehnical words of other languages. These phrases were as well understood as allv- words in the English language Mr. Dunn of Jeff.-rson was in lavor of leaving out all LaJn or other terms, and substituting English words as far ftt- practicable.

Mr. Badger said, that gci tiemcn seemed t) cling to these tonus a.'d phrases as a last bopQ for the pcttiloggcr. Tiiey sce.ned to be nfiaid of any innoation. Mr UeUo r.. died the char"e against the members r tlx. I. ir II -.-.uhl vai or the resolution. Mr. Niles disclaimed any such motives as were attributed by the genllem n from Putnam (Mr. Badger.) He disliked to see the Convention becoming a committee of schoolmasters to instruct the committee on revision. The resolution, as offered by Mr. Milroy, was then adopted. The resolution heretofore offered by VMr. RobLison, providing that a soction should be reported against lhe Legislature passing any law permitting licenses for tht. sale of spirituous liquors, was taken up. After a speech from Mr. Robinson in favor of the resolution, it was laid on the table on motion of Mr. Pep1 per of Crawford, by a vote of ayes 7S, noes 14. Mr. Thornton otlered a resolution as to the cxpedienj cy of a section in relation to interest on money ; out 110 forfeiture should accrue where ten per cent, is charged, ' if designated in the note or obligation. Mr. Thornton never had dealt much in money; but he j was in favor of leaving it open the same as property, unrestricted. The State Bank was able, in many inj stances, to make as high as ten to fifteen per cent. His 1 object was to invite competition. In deference to the opinion of many, he had restricted the amount to ten per cent. Mr. Pepper of Ohio was in favor of the resolution. He knew of fifty thousand dollars, owned by citizens of his county, that was loaned in Cincinnati, and which was not taxed. By permitting this amount of interest to be charged, this capital would be retained in our Slate and would be liable to taxation. Mr. Kilgore moved to amend, so that interest might I be charged in all cases not exceeding ten per cent.; laid ' on the table. Mr. Clark of Tippecanoe nioyed to strike out "ten I per cent." and insert "seven per cent." Mr. Ritclicy opposed the resolution. He had voted i to reduce the rate of interest from ten to six per cent., ! and had never given a vote that afforded him more satisfaction in his life. He then moved to lav the whole subji1'1 ?" tl,e tab!c' w,,ich motion prevailed, ayes 14, ! noes 3! Mr. Collax movco that . hereafter, tne convention meet at half past eight o'clock in the morning, instead of nine; which lies over.

Mr. Hawkins offered a resolution, as to the expediency of taking an estimate of all agricultural products. &e, every ten'ycars ; adoptrd. The Convention then adjourned. In the afternoon the discussion continued on the amendment of Mr. Hall. Mr. Clark addressed the Convention at length, in favor of Free Banking. Mr. Carter folio, ed. He said he had been raised in a radical school that did not favor monopolies and had been taught to believe that gold and silver was the only sound currency. Vet attempts had been made, for years, to build a "false ctrcula'-in'r medium upon its basis. He went into a brief history of the Banking system of the United States, laving bare all its glaring evils. He be lieved all Banks were created for gain, and were con I trolled by capitalists who had the power of contracting 1 and expanding the currencv of the country, to suit their ' .lfih nda In of susiMmsinn if sneeiti navmnnts i the poor man was always the loser. It was argued by j the friends of a system that favored the issuing of $3 in paoer to one in specie, that the deposits, interests Stc were subject to be used at any timo for the purpose of redeeming notes; but he believed that the deposits of a Bank was not the true capital, or any part of ir, but, on the other hand, it was a tictittons capital not owned by the stockholders, and. in ease of a suspension of specie payments where the Bank redeemed all its circulation, the di itors would bear the loss, if their dejiosits were I ntml fur thi niirn.n u-bil.t tho intorovt m discount j were left in the hands of the Bank. In anv system of Rankin" Ranks would amhine, the nooplo would be ; . . . . . .

It was no part sed of -free trade." He believed against a State Bank held good Tber worn still nirinonobes. call them by which name you p!ae. The only dfleTcne ( between the two systems is thai Free Banking open th

ccneral. The expansion I rency wu.d be greater, j and contraction ol the currency Small Banks were an evil. Under a ystem of Free Banking there would bo one in almost every village and continuations of these small institutions would be more injurious than those of the present system. He stated that our people were an agricultural people, wnilst tuose of the eastern States., where this system prevailed, were a coinmeicial and a manufacturing people. Uur country would be flooded with the notes of these small banks, counterfeiting would be much greater, and our farmers and mechanics had not the time to study the plates and signatures, and in the end the poor man must be the loser. Tne scenes of 1837 would be re-cnactcd. He was not the friend of the State Bank, as it exists now, but he would throw around it all necessary guards and restnctions. He would not have the Mate the endorser ol the State Bank, nor did he wish the State to become apart-1 ner, or be liable lor its debts.
