Message of the House and hills on lite eeond reading were taktn up and disposed of. In the afternoon Mr. Odell was granted leave of abenee for the balance of the session. The bill in relation to taxing lands in cities and towna, passed ayes 26, noes 19. The salary bill also passed -ayes 27, noes 15 Messages from the Honse occupied a great part of the afternoon. House. Reports were submitted by Mesrs. Dob-oo, Huff:, letter, and Buskirk all of which were concurred to. The fallowing joint resolutions were passed, to-wit: a joint resolution prohibiting the trustees of the Wabah and Erie canal from erecting other reservoirs in Clay oooaty; a joint resolntion asking Congres for a grant cf land to construct a railroad from Madison through Crawfordaville, to Fert Levenworth, in Mixsoui i ; and a joint resolution for tho improvement of the navigation of Patoka, White river, Lacghery Creek, and othn inland teat. Two bills were passed, viz: a hill declaring the word ''tan," in an act for the ineorporntiou of Plymouth, in Marshall county . a misprint, and inserting (two" intad thereof; and a bill to suspend the operation of certain laws therein named. House adjourned. In the afternoon reports were made by Messrs. Bryant and Hicka. Messages from the Senate occupied the attention of the House daring the balance of the afternoon. Honse adjourned 'Mow this World Is giving to Lying.' In the Madison Banner of Tuesday, we find the following i " Toe Sentinel is Id the habit of daily transferring oar telegraphic news to its columns, not only without credit, but, with brazen effrontery, credits it to the Louisville and Madison papers ! If Brown has any sense of shame about him, we would suppose that his cheeks were suffused with shame everv time he read the words " from the Louisville and Madison paper," knowing, as he does, that every word of the reports is taken from the Madison Bauner. Will the editor of the Sentinel have the manliness to give us our honest dues V Thi extract clearly proves that the Banner editor either designs to palm off upon the public a statement which he know to be false, or that he has not been in the habit of daily reading the Sentinel, for some time past One would infer from his article, that he had jnst been perusing its columns and had arisen from his seat, highly indignant at a supposed wrong. Now what are the facts in the case? Since the first day of June, we have been receiving reports by the O'Reilly Line and have so credited them. When we did copy lelfgraphic news from newspapers we gave the ore.li it deserved. It oftM happen that the Louisville papers contain important despatches which do not reach Madison, and we have copied them from our Louisville exchanges. Wc have frec-uently copied despatches from j the Madison Courur and Midi.ouian. Should we have credited theae to the Madison Banner' Therefore we adopted the genera! tie lin; from l!ie Lonisville od Madison pjperv." We have made no complaint against a number of editors, whom wc might name, who are in the habit ol coPJ'ng oar legislative reports without credit which cost as fivo times as much as the editor of the Banner paya for his telegraph news. We do not anderstand why the Banner man should cmnplain that we publish tsUgram which we nay for, and which cost bim nothing. 17An immense man meeting of tho Democrats of Louiaviile, Ky., and vicinity, was held in that city on Saturday evening last. Tho meeting was eloquently addressed by J Gnthene and Jos. Holt, of Louisville, and by John A. Read, of Jeffersonville, Indiana. The Democrat says: , , , . , ""J? r,.l""'a" w ...ucesi t THE peoplk in which they united, heart and soul, with one voice and one purpose.

Tor tfce Dally Indiana State SecUoei.; Cambxidok Cut, June 6, Imi We had a glorious speech from our Democratic candidate for Lieutenant Governor, Mr. Willard, last night His compititor, Mr. Williams, is no where iu the fltfbt After listening to the heart-cheering eloquence of this bold and fearless champion of true Democracy, I was not at all surprised at the recent encomiums that have been passed upon his spceobes at the ratification meetings at Baltimore and in old Tammany, in th-.- city ol New York. No wonder that there was an earthquake of applause that followed his remarks in did Tammany. Tire theme from which his competitor, Mr. Williams, has expected to derive great benefit, is the Georgia land qnejtici 1. is well known that the Whig party, throng i ibeir fund commissioners, paid &240.0UO for these lands; and it is natural, that they should try to cover up their errors, by making all the charge against the Democrittio party that are possible. The Whig press have, for more than a year, asserted that Mr. Green, the purchaser t4 the Georgia lands, had sold them fr a large amount. Some Democratic papers, believing these aertions. have copied their articles The Whig candidates, joining in the cry, have re-asserted the ohargo. They know that their own men pur chased the land for $240,000, contrary to law, and they hope to cc:ip3 by alleging lhat the Democrat sold them for less :han they are worth. While here I obtained from Mr. Witlard a Copy of a letter, of a recent date, Irom Mr. Oree-n, which I end to you for publicaMon. It reads as follows; "June 4, 185-' 'Mr A. P. Willam) Dear Sir: In March, 1351 t made a conditional sale of three-fifths of my iuu-u.-t in the Georgia lands to the Rev. F. A. Conwell; but the terms of the contract were not complied trifft .
