Legislative Summary. a - 1 I ate In tne loronoon pennons were presented ny Mr. Slack, in favor of the Maine taw. and by Mr. Emerscn for a free banking law. The committee on revision reported a number of bills. In the afternoon the report of the new Board of Trustees of the Indiana L'niversily was received, and 1,000 copies ordered to be printed. Most of the time wa taken up in receiving reports of bills from the committee on revision, a large number of which were presented. HorsE. Petitions were presented by Messrs. Smith of S , Williams, McDowell, and Shanklin. Mr. Owen, from the committee on Revision reported a bill "concerning the accumulation, suspension of ownership, and joint tenancy of personal property," and a bill regulating descents and the apportionment of estates." Mr Gibson, from the same committee, reported a bill pro vidtog for tbe election and qualifications of Justices, and defining their powers and jurisdiction," and a bill ''prescibing the powers and duties of Justices of the Peace in State prosecutions.' Mr. Owen made a very able verbal report from the Revisory committee setting forth the amount of labor performed by that committee, which : far beyond any thing that could have been anticipated by the members of the Legislature. Ia tbe alter . 'on the House passed a resolution to meet at 8 o'clock, A. M Mr Owen reported back Senate bill to abolish distress for rents, and House bill relative to descents, which were laid on the table. The bill approved March 10, 1852, providing for the election of town and city officers, was referred to the judiciary committee. Mr. Gibson reported a bill prescribing the number, and defining the powers and duties of constables. Mr. Stover reported b.ek House bill to authorize the State Librarian to subscribe for all the newspapers m the State, accompanied with a very able report, drawn up by Senator Hester. A number of bills were read the second time. Senate bill to provide for the payment of the principle of the public debt, was laid on tbe table QT'Johii D. Defrees. Esq., has sold an interest in the State Joejrnal to his brother Anthony. The Senior is soon to devote bis "i tie attention to editorial duties, in which we hope he will be able, with some help, to carry the State for Nicholas McCarty. We hear most all ol tbe Irish people are going lor their brother Mae. Terr Haute Ex.res. More Blarney. This is the first time we ever heard of Nicholas McCarty as an Irishman. It was first Nieholas McCarty the farmer. The old man, scorning to obtain votes by such a trick, denied it. Then it was Nicholas McCarty, the "Temperance Waig." It was. however, found out that :,01d Nick." with infirmities like unto other men, had neither joined a Temperance Society or a Church. Now it is Nicholas McCarty the Irishman. This, too, he will deny. His friends will tkei., no doubt, swear that the Scotch Mac to his name is all a mistake, and that his original and geuuine name is Mr. O'Carty. Defrees will manage the matter. The Whig cause of Indiana could not be entrusted to abler or safer hands. He made a glorion fight in the late Senatorial election. "7" Should Gen. Scott be nominated for President, an event that now appears almost certain, he will be elected by a larger majority than was given to Gen. Taylor. Ohio and Indiana, which went for Cass in 1348, are sure for Old Chippewa. Rochester Dem. Whig The preceding may be based on principles of sound logic, but we do not exactly see how, why ami where. If because these States went against Ccn. Tayior, they are now to go for Chippewa," with the prefix "Old," then, by parity of reasoning, those States which threw their votes for Gen Taylor in 1818, will throw them agaiast ' Chippcra' in 1852, and thus he is as good as at ihe start. The Season. This has been a most remarkable season. Winter set tn early, and continued with unusual severity. April has nearly gene, and winter still lingers in the bp ol Spring. Xj si;n of vegetation springing forth. The farmers are not planting their crops, or sowing their grain, as naual at this season of the year. All are wait.ng for "better weather." We hope their wishes may toon be realised. We confess that we are tired oi wüster. XTThe Journeyman Printers of this city, on last Monday evening . organized a Typographical Union, subordinate to tbe Nationiii Typographical L'nion Isaac Smith was elected President, W. P. Goods, Vice President; J. W. Dixajt, Secretary; H. G. Finch, Treasurer, and T. J. Bosworth, F. M.Randall, ami J. H. McNexlt, delegates to the National Union, which meet in Cincinnati on the first Monday in May next. Tbe next meeting of the Union will be held at the Statesman office, on Saturday evening next. OThere much truth in the following which we clip from tbe New Castle Courier. The Editor, after attempting to explain away the Whig defeat, at the late Senatorial election, says "This election should be a warning not only to the Whizs, bat to Temperance men To Whigs that they cannot as a party, standing on National princip.es, commit themselves to outside questions; and to Temperance men that the surest wav to strande their relorm is to iotrodoce it into nnr party elections.

I From the Cincinnati Gaieite Japan aud tbe Isles of the Sea. In the beautiful and glorious visions of the Prephets, the ' Isles of the Sea'' were the last in the order of illufifi nnd W" , ???-! ünal restoration. This idea, if no otuer, gives a peculiar interest to the recent movements in that vast repository of islands, the Pacific Ocean. Everything has conspired

in tne last quarter ol a century to give mem new mm extraordinary imimrtan. e. The Sandwich Islands have been reformed and revolutionised bv our Missionaries. Our Exploring Expedition discovered new and strange land far towards the South Pole. Borne is just emerging to the light of knowledge under the government of Mr. Brooks Rajah of Saiawak.

The following particulars of j 'he Island and government will, perhaps, interest those 'ho have heard of a Japan expedition. 1 he Empire ol Japan is said to extend over most oi :he Islands from Latitude 26 deg. to 49 deg. or twenty hree degrees of Latitude. But the main Islands of Kin-sin, Niphon and Jesso, lie between Lat.32 and 45 leg. North. This is the same parallel i:h the best part I the Lnited States, the nrst ol these, Kiu-sin, is ibont 220 miles long; the second, Niphon, about 1600 niles : and Jesso aliout 100 miles In length. The averige breadth is about 100 miles. They extend in the .i fw-irk : i i i . r r -1 , Z ,w. . -f ' . - -"""-"r 180,000 square miles.

Many of our domestic manufactures are familiar to them; but beyond doubt many of the fabrics which remake so cheap by machinery, would find a ready sale there, in exchange for Tea and Gold. The Empire of Japan its Government and Institu:icns, are tne most lemiuKaoie in me wui-i. us raw ' . . . latural resources have enabled it to be exclusive, and ts dark superstitions have constructed a most complica- . a a 'ed, compound Government, in wnieti tne spintuni and civil attributes are stransely mixed. The real Governm ml is hell by a Military Despot, called Kouba, but he Spiritual Oovernment by the Dairi, residing as a sort of prisoner at Macago. The Government is divided into eipht Administrative offi.es viz: I 1. The Central an ! General Office mm ... 2. Legislation and Education 3. Affairs of the People and Police 4. Bureau of the Interior. 5. Bureau of War. 6. Bureau of Finance 7. Bm ean of Criminal Law. 8. Minister of the Royal Palace.

The .Maine Liquor Law. Of seventy-eight towns heard from in Maine, il is known thai seventy-three have at their recent meetings virtually decided against the Maine Liquor Law. The Hon. Joseph Titcomb, in the Senate of that State, refused to vote for the bill to become a law and was threatened witb annihilation at borne for bis vote. He resides at Itennebunk. On the first of April inst. the nunnlo nf t last: tnwn had their annual town mectinsr . and Mr. Titcomb was, without his consent, and against bis known wishes, triumphantly elected chsirman of the i ai J of selectmen. This is a Whig town, where a large political majority is against him. Mr. Titcomb had a majority of sixty-one votes, tie is a vom. man, of most exemplary hal.il and character ; yei informers, spies, and clnb men ol ail sorts, under the new name ol watchmen, banded together to deleat him wnh a creature of their own. So far from the law being pop ular it i even dmiliitul if man of the authors of it ever find their way again into the Legislature. If any thing could make the law odious il is the manner of forcing it upon the people The vote of Portland condemning Neat Dow and bis stop law practices is doubtless a full and fair expression of public opinion.

Special Pleading. The "Journal" Editor, like a fellow with a bad cause in court, employs a witty lawyer to help him out of his difficulties by special pleas. The fact is, that, to sustain tbe charge that Gov. Wright was in favor of the internal improvement system of 1836, requires such special pleading as would puszle the celebrated lawfirm of Quirk, Gammon, aud Snap. We are too old a practitioner to be caught on immaterial issues. The record shows that Gor. Wright first introduced a bill to classify the public works, and failing in that he next attempted to limit the amount of expeenditures. The adoption of either plan would have saved millions to the State. Here are the facts and the Journal's attempt at special pleading, and at wit cannot change them. Nei-

ther will all the speeches ever made by Robert Dale Owen make Gov. Wright responsible for a system which he always opposed. If Gov. Wright ever made any speeches laudatory of this system, let them be produced. Mr. Owen is not now on his trial, and if he was he is abudantly able to defend himself. We shall not notice the low and scurrilous allusion to Gov. Wright having the "big head." His opponents must be hard run when they resort to such means. Such slang will never elect Nicholas McCarty, nor will it lower Gov. Wright in the estimation of the public.

Petitions were presented by Messrs Shanklin, Beane, Sale, Behm. Hicks, and Hanna. Several bills were reported from the revisory committee, by Messrs. Owen Gibson, and Stover, and read the first time. Mr. Nelson reported back, from a select committee, the bill regulating the tolls on the Wabash and Erie Canal; tbe bill establishes the same rates of tolls as in Ohio.

The System or Internal Improvemeats. We have never asseited that the passage of tbe Internal improvement bill, in 1S36, was a party measure. That tnca of all parties voted for it, and after its adoption sustained it. is a fact which no one acquainted witb the history of tbe country will deny. But we do maintain that the proseeution and management of the system, from its begining until its disasterous downfall, ws under tbe control and direction of Whigs. Noab Noble, a Whig, was the Governor at the time of tbe passage of tbe bill. He was emphatically tbe father of the system, as much as De Witt Clinton was tbe father of the New York and Erie Canal. He recommended the adoption of a general system. Under bis direction were the surveys and original estimates made. He appointed the first Board of Internal Improvements, wbich wa composed of seven Whigs and two Democrats. The first board consisted of tne following gentlemen: David II. Maxwell, David Burr, Samuel Lewis, James

B. Johnson, John Woodburn, Elisha Long, Thomas H. Blake, Samuel Hall, and John G. Clendenm Messrs. Long and Woodburn being the only Democrats on the board. Uuder the direction of this board the first lettings, in 1S36, took place. The fund commissioners, ia the various stages of the progress of this system, were Nicholas McCarty, Jeremiah Sullivan. Samuel Hannah, Isaac Coe, Willliam C. Linton, Caleb B Smith, aad Milton Stapp all Whigs. For the purpose of prosecuting this system of Internal Improvements, these commissioners sold State bonds to the amount of thirteen MILLIONS TWO HCNDBED AND SIXTY ONE THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED AND SEVENT V-EIOHT DOLLARS AND seventy Five cents for which they received in cash, NINE MILLIONS NlNETT-TWO THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED AND SEVENTf EIGHT -DOLLARS AND SEVENTYeight cents, leaving a suspended debt of our MILLIONS ONE HUNDRED AND SlXTY EIOHT THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED AND EIGHT DOLLARS AND SIXTY-EIOHT CENTS. This suspended debt was for State bonds, sold by Whig fund commissioners on credit, without authority of law. The payment was, however. secureJ by mortgages on the Morris Canal, tbe Pontiac Railroad, the Soap and Candle Factory, a lot of Apalachicola swamp lands in Florida, water lots in New York and Brooklyn, and sundry other fancy articles. M. G. Bright, ihe Agent of State, by tbe return of bonds and by the sale of the fancy stocks and pnperty, realized tbe sum of seven hundred and twenty-nine thousand, eight hundred and eighty-five dollars and seventy-four cents, making the loss to the State, by Whig mismanagement and Whig financiering, of the enormous sum of three MILLIONS FOtTR HI VDKD AND THIRTY-NINE THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED AND TWENTT-THtEE DOLLARS AND NINETY-SIX CENTS. This is a fair statement of the case, taken from the records. During all this time, the administration of the State Government was iu the hands of the Whigs. (Jeder Whig rule, the credit of the Slate sunk to the lowest ebb; the name of Indiana was a by-word of reproach. Whtn Governor Whitcomb was elected, finding the affairs of the State in such a hopeless condition of bankruptcy and disgrace, he immediately set to work all bis energies to rest ire her credit, and to pay the debt, which hung like an incubus, on the energies of the people. He succeeded, by the aid of ihe Legislature acting on his recommendations, of making an arrangement satisfactory to our creditors, thus restoring the credit of the State, and providing for the prompt payment of tbe interest on the remainder of the State debt. Under tbe administration of Governor Wright, the interest has been promptly paid, and during the present year, more than half a million of the principal will be liquidated. This is a true picture It has beeu drawn from the record, and is sustained by tbe facts and tbe figures. If our Whig fi tends d'ire to pnrsne this subject any further, we shall give tbe details of some of tbeir transactions. The report of Governor Noble exposes the fraud and the folly of s .me of the Whig Fund Commissioners in a very strong light. But we have no pa. ;ienlar desire to pursue the subject. If, however, ii becomes necessary, we shall publish all tbe facts. If i : Whigs wish to rake up tbe dry bones and inouldein ... ashes of the system of Internal Improvements and ita management, we are ready for the examination: we shall not shrink from vUeh an inquest.
