. lau-siuaii upon ui . r m-ui As no one is capable of answering the question, it may , not be improper to ask the following questions of the ed itor of the Statesman, who is supposed to know: 1st. Is this Mr. Brown the same person who once belonged to a certain clique in Elkhart county, who managed to control all the offices iu that county, and who were only put down by the deleat of the entire democratic ticket at the last August election? 2d. Is be the same Mr. Brown, who. being discarded at home, was brought from Elkhart countv. by the editor of the Statesman, to supercede a good au I worthy democrat, as Superintendent of the Central Canal? 3d. I he I he same Mr. Brown, who, with all the intiuence of the Statesman to back him, received in vote iu caucus, out of over ninety, for the office of Warden of the State Prison? 4th I this the same Mr. Brown who is the father-in-law of the editor of the Statesman, and whose daily bread depends upon his backing his son-in-law in his infam - efforts to break down some of the most worthy members of ihe democratic party' O" It will be perceived, that a committee has been appointed bv the Convention, to prepare an address to the people of Indiana, in reference to the reforms made in the new Constitution. The speech of Mr. Owen, on of. lering ihe resolution for tiie appointment of this committee, will le found in this day's paper. The enemies nl ihe new Constitution have leen making a studied effort to bring the action tf the Convention into disrepute. They have seizid upon the time consumed and the money expended, as the great ai-gumeut. in which the account of the Stenographer and the expense of printing form oromiiient items. Mr. Owen's i t marks will sei this whole matter in a new and pr. per light before the country. We ask the people in justice to tbe Delegates, to suspend their opinions until they see the new Constitution and the explanatory address. A less numerous bodv would have consumed less time: but the whole State would not have been as fully represented, and the Convention is not respoiiMbl for delay on account of its numbers The Stenographer was appointed by the Govi nor. in pursuance of an act of the Legislature, and tue printing of the debates was a necessary consequence. So these items cannot be charged to the Convention. We invite a candid perusal of Mr. Owen's remarks Coiistimtionnl Convention. On Saturday the President announced the following committee to prepare an address to the people, under the resolution of Mr. Owen, to wit i Messrs. Owen, Carr of J., Berry, Smiley, Maguire, Helmer. Davis of V., i Bryant, Colfax, and Bascom. The resolution requiring the immediate sale of the State stock in the State Bank, and that the proceeds, after the payment of the Bank bonds, shall be applied to the support of common schools, was taken up. MrStevenson moved to lay on tbe table: carried ayes 83, noes 43. Mr. Smiley offered a resolution, that a section lie reported, fixing the time for the commeucement of the term of the Governor, Supreme Judges. Circuit Judges and State otbceTS; which was adopted.. Mr. Johnson offered a resolution, lhat the system of doing township business in Dearborn. Ohio, Switzerland, Adams, and Wells counties lie not interfered with, except by legislative enactment, after the adoption of this Constitution. A great number of amendments were of I.toiI mf.moin.r nlhar ni.tii.ti and other iil.i.tu - ' J when, on motion of Mr. Ritchey, the resolution was on tbe table. Mr. Bascom i.-vcd ton isider the vote on the in.iclinite postponement of the resnliition providing for an adjournment tf die on the 15th of January; which mo'ion prevailed aves 113, noes II. The Convention then refesed to postpone the resolution; when Mr. Mowrer moved to strike out "the 15th of January" and insert 1 the 10th of February." Mr. Foster moved to strike out ;10th" and insert l7th;'' laid on the table. Mr. Hendricks moved to strike out 10th" and insert "Ist;" laid on the table. Mr. Sberrod moved to add Provided we get through with the business our constituents sent us here to do." Mr. Gibson moved to lav . . . , . . , 1 the resolution and amendments on the table; carried. Mr. Walpole moved to re-consider the vote on the passage of the section providing for a uniform iikkIc of dong couniy and township business : not carried ayes 27, noes 98. ,, . . , , Tbe State debt section was read a third lime ; when . . , , . Mr. Howe moved to re-cominit with instructions to add .c r a .u ii ii .i that u spocibc tax ol bfty thousand dollars, with an ... ...... , annual increase of hre per cent., be levied for twenty- , , . . ... , . . . . five yars, and expended each year in the purchase of our ' State bonds, unless the State debt is sooner paid on. Mr. Howe believed, if the present rat of taxation is continued, the sum eontemplatd. by his specific tax. woold be raised by tbe natural increase of taxation; and be would have been content, had the amendment of the gentleman from G. (Mr. Hall) making the present rate .-f taxation a permanent measure until our public debt is paid off, prevailed; but. inasmuch as lhat had failed he now moved his amendment. Mr. Borden was in favor of doing something with regard to the payment of the lublic debt. Mr. Stevenson was opposed to any pro- . -. ... . - - . t . vision in the constitution in relation io ine amount oi laxatton. Mr Walpole was opposed to the amendment . Tbe Legislature should have full control of the measure of taxation. Mr. Maguire believed that the calculation made by the gentleman from Gibson (Mr Hall) is correct if the present rate of taxation is continued, and he believed with him that the public debt can lie paid off in sixteen or seventeen years. The calculation of the Auditor of State, requiring 30 years to pay the debt. Is founded on a false basis tbe calculation being made unJer tbe idea that our public debt would require dollar for Jollar to pay off our bonds, when our live per cent bonds

could alwavs he purchased lor less than their facu ami II I

the two and a hall per cent. Itoods at from 4 Jo 50 cents on th dollar. There would be nothing wrung in purchasing our Itonds at their market Talue He was in favor ol" some provision being inserted in the Coiistitution. Mr. Ritchey offered aa amendment, thai the faith i of tl. Stale being pledged, tlw present rale ol taxation 1 shall be continued. &c ; not adopted.

The Convention then refused to lay the resolution on th table. The amendment lixing on the l?th of February , as the day of adjourniiient . was ii tadoptcd.

The section providing fr the election of Canal Trustee, Warden of the State Prison and State Printer by the people was read a second time; when Mr. Edmonston moved to recommit it with instructions to amend, by striking out warden of the Slate Prison and State Printer. Mr. Pettit hoped that Canal Trustee would also be included. It was very doubtful, if the Sate was not bound in our contract with our bondholders to leave this election in the hands of the Legislature He was 1 1' opinion that we should not, even in appearance, violate the contract with our Ibreign creditors This Convention, he admitted, had the power even to repudiate our public debt; but he asked, in all seriousness, whether anv such a course should be pursued? Mr. Murray concurred in opinion with the remarks of Mr. Pettit. Mr. Lockhart admitted the Constitutional right ; but not the moral right to disregard the law in reference to the election of Trustee. He otlered an amendment to the instructions, so as to embrace the Trustee of the Canal; when Mr. Carr moved that the ei-ihm and instructions lie imlehnilelv postponed. Mr. Borden was in favor of electing the warden of the Penitentiary and State Primer by the people. Mr. Hendricks was opposed to making the

Iu the course of the debate in joint session on Friday, Mr. Leslie having the floor for several ho i.s to assign reasons for voting for Mr Benton, he alluded to a letter from Mr. Geyer, which was said to he then in the city. Mr. Crockett thereupon rose and read from that letter the following extracts, being all that relate to the subject before the Legislature. The telegraph brings it to us in these words: St. Louis Republican. There is known to exist among the whigs, in all parts of the Union, a dillerence of opinion on the constitutional authority of Congress to legislate on the subject of slavery; and, although you have not enquired ol me on that subject, it is due to you as well as to myself, that 1 u ..ii . . i , i. . tliut I should announce mv opinion. 1, theieiore, sav, tuat 1 i .... ....... nt Mli.v. ii.at Con.rrHs, no.stis anv constitutional ------- - n y j - - pewer to establish or prohibit slavery either in the Territories or the District of Columbia. Of course, I could not lie induced to co-operate in, or countenance any such legislation ; but if the power existed, I should be none the less opposed to its exercise In my judgment, no power, however plainly granted, should be exercised by legislation, which can be of no I i . . t . i r . i. it'- j o . -. Lonetit to the government or . I .tc i , , t i .o.,.. people ol the L tilted Stales, . ' r .. and yet conflicts with thu interests and leelmgs ul a large number of the people und Slates of the Union, es . - V pecfaUy where its tendeney is to defeat any one or more of the great ends for which the Constitution and Government were ordained and established. And this is precisely the description of legislation so much pressed upon Congress of late. It cun b. in-lit imii. . not even the slave, for here it does nothing but to contiiie him in slavery to a given district. It interdicts the new territories to both master and slave, unless the master will consent to dissolve that relation bv conferring on him a new master, ami in that case the slave is not benefitted, while tlie master's right is impaired. But, while such legislation can do no good, it is full of positive evils. It assails the character, and threatens to subvert the institutions, of fifteen States destroys the confidence of tbeir jtcople, at once, in the security of their projicrty and tbe justice of the General Government breaks up the harmony and tranquility of the Union array . one iortioii in hwstility to another, and would eventually bring on civil war, und the dismemberment of the Republic Every reflecting man, however averse to slavery, or confident in his opinion of the authority of Congress to interfere, must find, in very recent experience, an effec ive admonition to forbearance, unless he is resolved on civil war and a dissolution of the jUnion. The persevering efforts to procure the passage of acts to prohibit slavery in tbe territories, and abolish it iu the District of Columbia, have brought on a fearful crisis. At tlie commencement of the late session ,, Conor, ss. no one, I think, can doubt that the success of those efforts in either case, would have been regarded and treated byseveral of the States as an opnn declaration of civil war; and the Union with its manifold blessings, wonld have pcrislu-d in a conflict of arms. Nay, if the questions had been left open to agitation another year, this Union could not have withstood the shock. i'tunat iv. in-iter counsels prevailed, and the greatest of all calamities was averted by the passage of the several bills constituting what is called the compromise ; and now, my deliberate opinion is, that the best secuiity we can have against the recurrence of the imminent peril vhien we hare so recently escaped, is to uphold that adjustment in all its parts', and preserve it inviolate. Although th admission of California, with her extensive boundaries, and the acts for ihe abolition of what is called the slave trade in the District of Columbia would nut have been entirely acceptable to me, unconnected with the other constituents of the adjustment, as a reliable assurance of their passage vet, as a whole, I was irom ine iieginiiing. am now, aim snaii oe to tno end, in am now, nnd shall be to the end i fm-nr nf ihnt ml I ii.tmunt II . tlin ltf..t kuttl.imnl nf ! .u. nrrov-n-v that eouhl. under all the eireiimtannp. i - " J - 7 r-w . , have been obtained.
