Petitions were presented by the Speaker and Mr. Lawrence, and referred to the temperance committee. Reports from Committees. By Mr. Buskirk, from tbe committee on ways and means, to whom was referred a bill regulating the license of clock venders, reporting the same back and recommending its passage. The hill was ordered to be engl osscu. By Mr. Buskirk, from a select committee, to relcrrcu petitions and resolutions requiring the seioct committee to report a bill for the asthlikhmfint f ktate Board of Equalization, reporting a resolution in. strueiing tbe committee on ways and means to report a I l"!l P nv ding for the re-valuation of the real estnte and , th establishment of a State Board of Equalization. Mr. B. said that this resolution was reported in order to obtain the sense of tho House before a bill is prepared, and he hoped members would vote now as they will when the bill is reported by the committee. Mr. Doughty said that he was in favor of a State board of equalization, bnt he was not prepared to vote or a re-valu itsen of the real estate of the State He thought that there should bo a division of the question. Mr. Hart said that a number of tbe counties in his section of the State were dissatisfied with the present valuation. Ho therefore demanded a division of the qoeation, in order that a direct vota could lie obtained nn each proposition separately. Mr . Carpenter remarked that if there ever was a time when the people of the Stale demanded a re-valuation f the real estate, that time is now, and he hoped tbe tlouse would consider the matter well and act underlandinly before a vote was takeif. Mr. Donaldson inquired of Mr. Buskirk what kind of a bard the committee would organize? Mr UUsirk replied tiiat he was not now nrenarwl in ' state, but he t.mught there should be a board io consist I one member from each indicia! or congressional Hit. tritt. IU would also state that he thought there would be no ns of a State board without a re-valnation. Mr. H dman thought this a very important question, and members should look well to the eobjeet. He said the piesti n was not whether ihe House will agree to any irti. t lar system of equalization, but whether we will iave a State board of equalisation. He thought if a oard was appointed, they eo.ild equalize the real estate pon the appraisement made in 1350 as well as onon an Mr. Brady said there was great injustice i.i the present valuation of lands in the different portions of the tata. and it is absolutely necessary that some change should be made in order to equalize that valuation. Mr. Lewis thouzht that If the House would only give 'his resolution some attention, he hsd no doubt it would p is. Mr. Eoeles was opposed to the resolution . He thought that his eon -it y had expended a saflieieney last year for

appraismg their real estate, and if they are to be taxed

again this year lor tue same purpose, ihe farmers oMits ! county would be compelled to sell their land to pay ibeir taxes. He iLeieiore moved to lav the resolution on the tahle ; Inst. Mr. Sumner moved to strike out the resolution from the enacting clause, and insert ' That mere thsll be one member appointed from each congressional district who shall constitute a State board of equalisation ;" Which was lost. Mr. Gookins was in favor of a State board and a revaluation of ihe real estate. It wits a cons' ilutional duty, incumbent upon every memher of the House, to provide for an equal valuation and assessment of the property of tue state for taxation. It was a well known fact, that the land in counties adjoining indifferent portions of the State, differ to a considerable amount iu their valuaiion. Mr. Dolson was opposed to a re-valuation. He thought ih u the people do not desire it. There will always be a d.nerenct in the price ol lands in counties adjoining, and in fact, in the same counties, owing entirely to the situation of the lands. Those lands nearest mark t. cr on public improvem"nis, will always demand a bisher value than those at a distance from such places. Mr. Holuiao thought there was no necessiiy fur a renppraisemeiit, and he hoped the House would consent to lay the tii t proposition on the table, and take a vote directly on ihe question of the establishment of a State board ! equalization. Mr Hart objected. He stated that it was upon his motion that the question was divided, and he must insist upon taking a direct Vote upon the question lor the revaluation of the real estate. Mr McDonald moved to lay the first proposition on the table, to-wit: the re-valuation ol real estate; carriett aves 60. noes 22. Mr. English moved to lay the second proposition on the table, to-wit: the establishment of a Stale board of equalization; lost ayes 23. noes b. Mr. Holman moved to amend uf adding, "who shall equalize the appraisement of real estate made for taxation in the year 1351." He thought that the Stale Board could very easily equalize the rea' estate on the appraisement made last year. Mr. Donaldson remarked that if the evil complained of was to be remedied, he thought there should be an equalization in the townships as well as in the counties, for the inequality, in his opinion, could not be remedied without an entire re-appruisement. Mr. Smith of Spencer was e,q.,-sed to both a re-valuation, and also to the creaiioo of a Slate Board of Equalization. He thought that there was as much honesty among those who appraised the properly last year, as ihere will be among those who will appraise it hereafter, hence he could see no necessity for incurring the expense. Mr. Doughty enumerated a number of counties in which there was an apparent inequality in the ap praisement of the lands, which called loudly for equalization. Mr Donaldson moved to amend the amendment l,y adding, '"and also provide for an effectual equalization between the township of each county through the . . board of county commissioners." Mr. Holman accepted the amendment to the amendment. Mr. Donaldson thought that it is as necessary to equalize the value of the lands among the different townships, as it is to equalize them among the different counties. The amendment was agreed to ayes 49, noes 30. The question then recurred on the adoption of the resolution, as amended; agreed t ayes 54, noes 26. Bv Mr. McDonald, from the committee on commerce to whom was referred a joint resolution asking Congress for an appropriation to construct a ship canal around the falls of the river Sault St. Marie, recommending its parsage.

Bills Introduced. By Mr. McDonald, a bill to provide for tie regulation of ail animals running at large in tho diflffront townships in the several counties of this State, and providing lor the poundage of the same. Read the first time. Mr. Gibson moved to take from the tabic a bill regulating the appointment of Pilots at the Falls of the Ohio; which was agreed lo. The question pending being to recommit the bill with instructions tovest the power of appoiuiment in tho Governor instead of the Trustees of ihe town of Jeffersonville, and also to apply the funds arising from fines or forfeitures, to the common school fund of the Stale, instead of the school fund of Claik countv. Mr. Gibson that the appointing power should he vest ed in those residing immediately at the falls, and that the appointment should be during good behavior instead of four years. As to the appropriation of these school funds, he had no objection Hint the fin s should go into the common school fund of ihe Slate, provided that all fines in other counties be appropriated in a like manner. Mr. King moved to amend bv permitting lhc Governor to appoint on the recommendation ol the city council or trustees of any town on the Ohio river. Mr. Holman accepted the amendment . The bill was then re-committed with the instructions ayes 50. noes 26. The Speaker laid be for the Honse a communication from the Governor, relative to the Stale Board of Agriculture. Mr. Doraldson moved to lay it on the table and print 300 copies ; lost. Mr. Nelson moved to refer it to the committee on ag- ! rienlture ; carried. Mr. McConnell moved that the House adjourn; lost.

Report rf the President of the State Board of Agriculture. ti, Cn! Pa.i r a,. !.... : j .i 27tn ol May last. The proceedings and expenses of the May and January sessions are heiwuith attached. 1 he wisdom of the law of the last Session is made most mauilcst in the number of county societies that have organized under that law. More than thirty counties have adopted ail organization, and twenty inleretiug reports are herew ilh submitted. Your special attention is called to ihe very full and MgUj interesting reports from i he counties of Monroe, Elkhart, Tippcca" noe, Wayne, &.c It is very remarkable that a pursuit in which more than f.ur-filllis of our p .pulation arc engaged, should have remained so long withoul that spirit of emulation which I be meetings n coMty and Slate Fuiis arc so well calculated to bung about. Agiiculture us an art, has been practised from the remotest period ; but the developments of ibik day and age are showing tlie application of science to every pursuit in u uich man iabms. The public mind seems now to have waked up to the realization of something practical, and each man asks for hiniscll the best s stem, the best mode, the bet hmutier ol reaping the reward of the labor be.-towed up..n the earth, or in file making of those articles that arc found necessary for his coinlbit and condition in life. In receiving an answer to these questions, m-n are now willing In exchange views and opinions wiih their neighbors. They aic w ilbng. yea, anxious, to examine and look for themselves upon the labor. Machinery, and productions ol the earth lo have the full history of all that is around them. r I he annual product of the labor expended upon the soil, ndded to the productions of Mechanical and other useful kinds of labor, consiuuie the real wealth of a Slate. There is no State in our widely extended Union so well situated as is Indiana, far an advantageous applieaiioii of aarrsMshnral labor and .skill. The i'cueral iir. xi ii iy oi rue sou, uie varieu nut temperate climate, are highly favorable to an abundant production of those sta1 1 S-B -. I .1 . pies wuicnaie ess.-niiai to supply me consimtiy in-' creasing demand of the home niniket, and tor which there is generally a very large foreign demand at fair prices. It may be justly said, that a large increase of the amount of the aggregate wealth of a Stale will certainly follow the formation and organization of State and county agricultural associations. The adoption of any system that will make lalor more attractive, that shall enlist the heart and energy of the people in lhc full development of their resouices, will add to the aggregate wealth of any community. Yet such an increase of wealth is not. by any means, to be regarded as ihe nvst important and beneficial results growing out i f such associations. One of the great practical results that is to follow from a reaular system ol couoty and State associations. ! will be thai of causing our people toch-mge and diversify more their labor and pursuits. This diversity will not be confined alone to the mere change of labor from agri- ' culture to mechanics, but various changes in the various kinds of Agricultural pursuits. Our true policy, as a State, is to be, as far a; practicable, independent ; to lok mors at home an less abroad, for the eleincntt of prosperity. We should establish and sustain that policy that will develope all our resources, and thereby advance the true interests of the State. This is a work that calls loudly for the exercise of all the influence of our public men, as well as our private citizens and I would enumerate, among iho mokt important movements in this work, that system ef Legislation that will build up slate interest, state pride, and. if you please, state ambition. We may rest assured '.hat true, substantial wealth will be found in the labor around us of the husbandman, mechanic, and manufacturer. Through the operations of a thorough system of organiEation over the State, the Board will be able to collect, not only general, but particular and reliable infor- ; mation concerning the different soils of the State. The kind of Agricultural la'oor that pays best; what articles are best adopted to such a soil and climate; the stock most in demand in the market; the various productions of each county in the State, different modes of farming by the best practical farmers; experiments on different soils, with various crops; redeeming wet and swamp lands; the mode and system adopted; stock raising; ditchings, barns, stables, smoke houses, wells, springs, I spring houses, modes of supplying stock water, tec., &e. In view of the great quantities of wet and swamp lands in the Slate, and the different modes adopted to redeem them, the Board have determined to offer a premium, at the anticipated Slate Fair, lor the best essay on this subject. In this way we expect to be able to present in the next annual report, some valuable suggestions on the subject of draining and ditching the larae qnantitv of wet lands in this State. In offering this premium, and others such as that, for the liest model of a country residence, out houses, barns 8tc.; the best essay on rendering available and profitable our hilly and broken lends In all these the Board seek to accomplish, what is always desirable, the saving ' ol time and toil, by means of the most judicious, skilful and approved application of labor to any given pursuit. There is believpd to be just cause of complaint in many parts of the State, from the running at large ofmale sto -k of various kinds ; the wanton and malicious destruction of trees, shrubs, flowers, vines, 8tc., has bpen brought to the nttention ot the Bord. In connection with these subjects the Board is impressed with the im portance of providing by law. some sure remedy for the destruction of sheep by dogs. This useful and profit1 able animal, in many p-frt of the Siaie. has been enj tirely destroyed in thi way. On all hese subjects, it is believpd by your Board, i hat efficient and stringent laws J are called for by the heut interests of society. Ti is suggested that the general use of stone coal, de- ; mands the providing by law of some fired and certain weight for tlie b-gnl hnshe) of coal. Thee are other articles that should receive a definite and precise weigh by law. I herewith attach the weight pei bushel to the j following article, as recognized and established in some of the States. They are worthy of yonr consideration :

Ii is to be regretted that so far, no means have been devised lor obtaining lull statistical inf. una. ion of each countv. We should obtain ,y our own i fficers accurate ainu-il staii-tical details of the great agiii-tilm. ral. mechanical and manufacturing industrial p oduct of the Slate. Wubout this information no Repieaeulalive is prepared to d.scbarge his duties faithfully to those be represent. We beueve under a perfect organization of County Agricultural Societies, such as is contemplated by the Board, we shall be able to fnruish a considerable amount of information, touching the industtiul product! of the State. In this report, the first under the sanction of the State. 1 some considerable information is (umisi.ed on ibis subject. j It would be an interesting table to lay before the Legislature, and through tlu m to the people, ihe entire ; surplus of Indiana the past year. The estimates in ! some of the counties are veiy larue; in the couniy of ; Laporte, amounting to four hundred thousand dollars, j and yel, we d..nbt not, the surplus of other counties exceed this amraiut. The surplus ( the Slate lias lieen estimated by many, . the past year, from twenty to tweniv-five millions. By the census of s5) we are able lo arrive at the j fact, that nearly eight-tenths of what we purchase out 't of the Stale, is ihe labor and production of our sister States. And we may safely a?ert. tnat more than one half of ihis amount is the product of the lalw and skill I of other States, not as favorably situated for mechanical .ami manufacturing labor as our own In thoe essen- ; lial combinations for successful mechanical and manu. facluring labor, such as ima, coal. sod. water power, ; marb'e. stone onarri. timber. &e . Indiana hs no I eqnal in the Union. Vet the iron. coal, and minerals of our Slate ar taken : broad and successfully used to pro fit bv the la or of others. We teem to be anxious to exhaust oor forests of wal. n t and cherry, that the mechanics of ether States may reap the reward the. eon. The bringing to jetlicr tin m iianics of our own and other States, in oouuty and M.ne lairs among us. with the bet scc mens of their skill and labor, is well calculated to foster; and encourage the mechanical labor of the counlrv. The great advantag.s that result from the assembling of farmers, mechanics and manufacturers, in association, in which the productions of i heir skill and labor are exhibited, consits in a free interchange of viens and opinions. You thereby stimulate industry, bting together the most distinguished median, ics of the State, uiih not i n v the wo k of their brain and hand, but they come together to inquire into the i warns of ihe country, that they may r.-turn to their I Workshops r. pei leer the invent ions tint have benn snr. Ijest.-d by these m an-. The manufacturer exhibits the, result of his invention and labor, the fanner ihe mode, process and improvements of ihe farm. Tbe trials, tests and experiments that ate thus exhibited, will create n spuit M rivalry well calculaicd to develop the resources of the country. well adapted to velop show me real ...m .i ihe n.-oui,.. nd the piosnects anu means m supplying tiiote wants. In tins way every branch of industry is made leiter acquainted wiih the mutual wants ami depi ndcn. y of each; and in this laudable sp lit of emulation, the country marches forward in real and substantial improvement in the true road to wealth. A very considerable sum of money is paid abroad by our people far stock, implements, artd productions of other States, the most of which ii be suvd in a lew years by these associations. You have in this the tirst report under the law of last sessi -n, the liest evidence that can be cfiered of the i . . - wis.lmn these associai ions. Yon appropriated one thousand dollars to the nse of the Board at the last session. Only five hundred dollars of that sum has been expended. Theie have been two sessions of the Boai.l darin; the past Year, hcicalter there will be but one annually, so that the expenses of ihe State Hoard will not exceed the sum of two huudicd and fifty dollars per year. We lespcctfully nk your honorable body to appropriate die sum of two tlioiitund dolLrs lor li e use id the Board this year. It is cont mplated by the Boaid to hold a State Tail ai some point in the slate the en-iimg fall, ami to pay out the sum of, at lea-t. twenty-five hundred dollais in premiums. Tlie state would lose nothing if no pa-1 of this expenditure was refunded. Tho great stimulus given to the various brauche of industry, the increase of properly thereby subject to laxalMB. will more than fem Md repny the state. Yel fem Board has no hesitation in siying. that by the proceeds of the contemplated Stale Fair, w'e shall be able to relund into the Stale Treasury every cent advanced, with a surplus to commence operations for the ensuing year. The Board herewith append their circular issmd at the firt meeting, together with the enure pioccedii.gs of the two sessions. We repr,-i fully a-k tiiat n- t less than three thousand copies cd' ihi report b- published. We desire to furnish a certain number of these reports to each of the county societies in the state, thai they may be used as premiums at the countv Fairs. We shall exchange several hundred copies wi,h our si.-ter States, tiiat we may have their reports in exchange th rcfor. which we design to give out a piemhmis at our Stale Fair. In this way we hope to be able to communicate the knowledge and information of our Sister States, in the various branches of industry, to every eounty, and as near as possible to each citizen of our Stale" There are so few returns in detail from county societies, that it is not thought necessary in this icport. intake up the leading ai tides of the Slate, such as cm, wheal, catile, hogs, sheep, oats, hay. he. Whenever the organization is made general and uniform throughout ihe Slate, the Board will lie able to offer such suggestions as to leading articles of the country, as it is believed will I,, nsef.il to the lull developetnent of ihe resources of ihe Stale in agriculture, mechanics, and manufactures. In comparison with our Sister States, this report will compare favorable with their first Q.-ms. In o:.e of the adjoining States, their first report did not Pieced sixty pages. This will exceed thrre hundred, p.nd we belli ve equals t lie repoits of any of the States of the Union, in their first efforts to furnish infoi mation upon their leading industrial productions. There is a manifest spirit of improvement abroad in our State. We doubt not your honorable body -aill aid and further on, by all the means within your reach, this great movement of rivalry ihi work of competition this spirit of emulation. By this means Indiana may soon stand not the fourth or fifth Statp in thp Union, but in the elements of trua substantial wealth, the verv first. JOSEPH A. WRIGHT, President of the Board.
