Senatorial Election; - Rumor says that the Republican' Senators, tho night before the meeting of the Legislature, took an oath that they t uld not vote, " to bring on the election during tho present session. If this bo true, they hnve taken three oaths, at least; ono irlien they were admitted into the K. N. Lodg6: one to staje off the election, and one to support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of Indiana. It is not probable that there will be an election this session unless they consider their la3t oath the most bindj"o (which is not likely to be the case,) or unless some of the Republicans should be prevented by sickness or Rome other cause from attending, when the question comes tp. JCfiWe call attention to our first page. It will be. found quite interesting. Iota has drawn a striking contrast between Lowi3 Cass and tho Senator elect from Michigan. Mr. Chandler. The article on dress was written for another latitude, but will answer far this, with very little variation; we bespeak for it a careful perusal. Legislature. In another column will be fund a summary of the legislative news, which we clip from the Locomotive. Very little business has lxen finished, but tve should judge that the members arc applying themselves pretty closely to business from the amount that they have cut out, and referred to the üfferert committees. The Quakers have Voted. Tho Legislature of Pennsylvania, although Democratic by a small majority, has elected Simon Cameron, Republican, U. S. Senator for six years. The means and appliances which were made use of to bring about a result so mortifying to the feelings of the Democrats, can be gleaned from the following correspondence of the Philadelphia Argus: "Ths Revard Tni-T got. A Harris.burg correspondent of the Philadelphia Argus writer that one of the three recreant Democrats who voted for Simon Cameron for Senator, openly boasts ihat he received eight thousand dollars as the reward of his perfidy; that he would have voted for Forney for five .thousand, for the reason that he agreed with the latter in political principle. There can be no doubt that Cameron s election was effected by the most direct cor ruption, and measures should be taken to ferrit it out, if possible. We have arrived ata most lamentable stage of political degradation, when elevated offices like that of our United States Senator, are struck off to the highest bidder in so shameless a manner. ' . .

The lvmes of the editors are a sufficient recommendation insure for it public favor. Sec advertisement. Ccrrespondence of the Democrat. Indianapolis Asylum for the Blind and Insane. School Taxation, &c. Editor Democrat: Doub.less there are many of your readers who have never vis ited the Capitol of our State. Let such an one, on going to Indianapolis for the first ! time, ascend to the lop of the Asylum for j the Blind where he has a fine view of the whole city and he will exclaim, as I did: "This is the place for our State Capitol." I was going to write a description of the city, the Capitol grounds, etc., but when I bethought me of the public spirit of Marshall county's sons I thought best to desist, as perhaps every one of them is expecting soon to become a servant of the people, and be sent hither himself. Thus my descrip tion would only break the charm of novelty if theso aspirations should chance to be realized. But if theso aspuvrs do reach the Capitol in this way, their time will no doubt, be so completely absorbed with the cares of State as to leave them no time for visiting the Asylum. Hence a few words concerning these may net be unaccepta ble. The Institution for the Blind is a very large, liandsoiftc edifice situated in the north fide of the city. Ou visiting it, the. first that attracted my attention wa3 tho sound of music, vocal and instrumental, is suing from variousjrooms; and occasionally one of the blind would pass us in the halls singing merrily, thus manifesting great enjoyment, while shut out nearly every thing that, to us, makes life happy. Various kinds of work are performed by the inmates such as weaving, making brushes and willow baskets. Their library is quite a curiosity.. The raised letters require much space. I noticed a copy of Davies' Legendre's Geometry in five volumes folio. My visit was at such an hour as to prevent my .witnessing any of the school exercises; j nor did I learn how many there arc iu the . . . " . I institution. From the Asylum for the Blind we , repaired to the Insane two miles west of the citv. Here we were shown through the different wards by ono of the gentlemanly officers of the Institution. It is truly pitable, on entering one of the wards, to see tho wild stare of lunacr which meets vou 9 m from so many countenances. If your sym pathies were called forth in behalf of thosn i' 1 -11 .1.-1 1 - . f io who hi an mc ueautics oi naiure are lor - over closed, it was forgotten in the midst : of those whose minds aro'a total blank ' the windows of whose souls arc darkened. ! Tim t . I amusements of various kinds, and some of them even work a little. None of ihcm are kept constantly confined though ia one or two of the wards visitors are not allowed. As we entered the building, and again on leaving, from a window of one of theso lat o o ter wards, we were assailed with tho most bitter denunciations, for daring to "trespass on the property of the' Commonwealth (of Virginia."' - There is a marked difference in the conduct of the sexes. Most of the men are seen standing or sitting alone, seeming lost in thought, were it not for the vaeant expression of the eye. Scarcely a word passes between them. On,. the other hand on reaching the door of a ward for the women a buzz is heard, aud' vou enter I - o M,a.i v j on vr"1 happened to be quite a tall young man, wa3 claimed a3 a "Presbyterian preaeher" by one of them, and no lane Yankee. j could ask questions faster than she did. Some of them take much pride - in dres3, others are entirely careless as to their ?ppearance. We were informed that there A orr are 255 inmates. , , . , , f This Asylum, and also that for the Bl.nd kept in the neatest manner; no public house could present a cleaner or more inTiling appearance.

simply because living in a rich populous county, they are unwilling to help the poorer counties. This is too narrow a policy for a liberal people to adopt. , Shall we hesitate to act the part of honor and magnanimity when the interests of public schools demand some sacrifice from the more fortunate counties? Whatever benefits the poorer persons in a community benefits the one rich man who may live there- -

in.. Whatever is an advantage to the State, is an advantage to every individual in the State. How few are personally -benefited bv our charitable institutions, and yet no ono object to the tax for their support. We are heavily taxed for the support of our judiciary system, and yet hun dreds of our citizens never had and never will have a suit in court. But no one complains, because we know it to be for tho good of society that the laws be maintained and executed. Thi3 i3 the view we should take of the school law, and I believe that all liberal and enlightened citizens will so look upon it and cheerfully comply with any requisition that may bo made upon them for the support of common schools. It will be no sacrifice and no expense in the end, for with tho increase of knowledge crimes will diminish, and we shall eventually put moiiey in our pockets by a wise and liberal system of public instruction. This is a subject I have at heart; and though I thought not of writing thus when I commenced, yet tho subject arose to und, few thoughts were placed on paper, and I transmit them to you in their crude state. J. P. La Porte, Jan. 23, !Go7. ' Speech, of Hon. Horace Heffrej. OF WASHINGTON, On the apportionment Bill, delivered in the Senate, Jan. 12, 1C57. Mr. HEFFREX said: Mr. President: I have listened with patience to the remarks of the gentleman from Howard, (Mr. Murray,) and others ot the opposition, in regard - to this bill. We are told that it is a "fair, just and equitabie bill," and one which all Senators, irrespective of party, should vote for. Sir, I am a young man, the youngest member of this honorable body, and should, perhaps, let older and wiser heads debate this question. Sir, thi3 bill was introduced the first dav of the session, at tho close of the day, and printed copies of it were laid upon our tables the next morring; but - they - ere soon taken away again,' for the alleged reason they were full of errors. On Saturday afternooa'another bill was placed upon our tables, entirely different, in many particulars, from the first, and we were asked to pass it before ye had time to examine it, and seo if its provisions were just and equitable. A vote of this Senate has made it the special order of to-da). Sir, I have given the bill a slight inveäligation, and have found corruption enough .,:,. .m, ':t,s - satisfy mo that the bill has not the virtue cf right in it. I impugn the motives of r.o Senator upon this floor; but when I find that the county of Floyd, with a vote of but 3,257, has ono Senator and one Represen lative. and the adjoining county of Clark, with a vote of over 3,5'J0, has but one Senator in connexion with Scott, which - gives some 1,200 more votes I am astonished that Republican members" should tell us that ;his is a fair bill. Floyd a doubtful county in politics, with ä vote of 3,257, entitled to a Senator and a .Representative; while Clarke, a Democratic county, with 200 moro votes, has only half a Senator and ono Representative! In other words, by this bill it takes 4,300 in the Democratic District of Clarke and Scott for one Senator, and the doubtful county of Floyd is given a Senator tor 3,257 voters. Call you this a fair bill. Let me cite the county of Allen, with a vote of 4.919. which br the nresent ratio ! of representation entitles her to one Sena tor and two Representatives, vet this bili lif.g arft Democratic they get but one Sen-a-.or nuiiiic lieprcscuiaines uuii'j ayue county with a vote of 5.74G gets a Senator and three Representatives. Why this disncli.? lecasc one is largely Republican, and the other largely Democratic IIenry county i50o jfcpuh.15Can majority, and a vote 4,000 has a Senator and two Representative, while Posey and Vanderburgh, with 5,842 votes," and a large Democratic majority have only the u .i o .i it same number jointly. b3 with Clay, Monroe ancj On wiih 7, 162 votes they get only the bame representation . as Wayne county. 1T' S ?TthT fnd the. county of V andei burgh has 3,000 votes, and tjets but oiie psentatire. while the county 0i ulton, wittv only i.uto votes ha3 a Re takes rh to Let the Fonnta;n Gi-ant and Tipton; Huntington and Whitley; Hc. y, Porter, Lake, Pulaski and Starke; Kosciusko and Fulton; Marshall and St. Joseph; Elkhart; Lacrranfre and Noble; Steuben and D Calb, Decatur; Rush. Ohio and Switzerland; Fayette and Union, all now represented in this Legislature by Republicans, each and all of which fall short from 200 to 1,200 under the ratio, and making ntteen Senators, all ReoubWe find only nine Disuicts represented by Democrats under the ratio, anc they only from 50 to 250. Take this bill as it is, with 14 Republi SSS&Ti SÄSSi teen f h fifteenthus, forever giving them a major.ty here. It is a com plete gerrymander of the State for politica power. 0. V :0' SlI take sixteen countief. all 0 which are Demoeratic, and we Vet sixteen Kepresentatives tor an aggregate vote o 49.01G, or one Representative for every 3, 113 votes, while the ratio is only 2,350. Under tho ratio of right we are entitled to five more Representatives on the floor of this House. 0w, Sir, ake a portion of the Republi - C3tl districts under, this gerrymander, and we find that they getnineteen Representa

tives for a vote of 34,251, or one for every 1,802. Therefore. ;while under this bill it takes 3,113 Democratic votes for one Representative it only requires 1,802 Republican votes for one Representative the Republican coming some 500 under the ratio of 2,350, while the Democratic districts aro more than 720 over in each instance. Thus: 34,251 Republicans gt nineteen members ia the House, while 49,815 Democrats get only sirteen! "Justness and fairness indeed! . What names to couple with such a bill of abominations! Again, we find tho vote for Buchanan in this State to be 118,002, and the cntiro vote cf the opposition 110,702, giving the Democrats a majority of 1,910, which should in justice entitle us to ono-half the members in each House. Rut instead thereof, under this bill, tho Democracy gets but 21 or 22 Senators, 44 to 45 Representatives. What

Kimieas: iiKe a rauo 01 z,joj, wniCU 13 correct, and multiply it by, forty-five, and we have only 105,750 Democratic votes, while they, with 55 members, should have 129,250 votes, which every one kuows they have not cot. This, Sir, gives a majority of the votes of Indiana, a majority in the Legislature a proposition U'iparallcd for audacity, entirely opposed to the spirit and letter of our institutions, and unprecedented in the history of Indiana legislation. We have beeu told that as a condition to the passage of the bill raisiug the salary of our Governor, this Apportionment Bill must become a law. Sir, I have no authotity vested in me to speak the will and wish of the Democratic parly on this subject, but I can say for the Democratic members on this side of the Chambor,'that such threats will fail to force us icto tho support of this bill of iniquities. We will let the salaries of all olflcers stand as they now stand before we will be co-erced into the support of any such measure as this. They have lived upon the present salaries and" can continue to do so, and I doubt not but thev are willing to do so, rather than that the Democratic u i:uiiijr uuuy suouiu voic lor a bill so unjust as the one under consideration." I will vole f;r a fair and equitable bill. We of tho South, I know are gradually losing our power, while that power is tending to the Central and the ftorth; but it is an outrage upon us in the South, so to gerrymander the S'ale as to defraud us out of live or six members in the House and six or ciijht in the Senate. I have not time, sir, to expose all the enormities of this "fair and jusi" bill; I have enly lime to show a few of them. When the flimsy rnuze that covers it shall have been entirely stripped from it, and the whole rotten and iniquitous thing laid bara to the public gaze, it will meet a fate as deserved as will be the f ito of its authors. They tell us that the present apportionment is wrong perhaps it is. But two years since a bill passed this body, apportioning the State. It was sent to the House, where it was allowed to sleep until so late a day, S3 tu exclude the Senate from action upon its amendment. Another thing, sir. The opposition'passed a bill in the House, which provided for 101 Representatives, ono mere than the Constitution allows, and in this bill thev left the county of Dubois out eat irelj. Such was fusion sagacity then! But they have improved greatly since; for they now give us a bill providing for all the counties, but so arranging them as to give the Republicans a large majority i;i the Legislature, whilo their party is largelyy in a minority in the State. I hive but this to say to Republican Senators in Conclusion: Although you have the p'ow-' er on th's floor to pass this bill, . there is in the other end of this Capitol a majority of honorable gentlemen who will place their feet upon the monster and strangle this bantling of Black Republicanism. Here the Democracy aro powerless. We are in the minority. -But, sir, we are not conquered nor can we be. The opposition may vote us down, and pass bills over our heads they may trample the customs and usages of this body under foot they may insult tho Governor and tho President of this'Senate in a word they may do 'as seemeth good unto them" they may, and will, pass this bill as it is but they canr ot swerve the Democratic Senators from their rights nor prevent them from exposing to the public gaze the enormities of tho majority. - Vheii you give us time to. examine this bill, and to amend it as it should be, I will vote fori.. So will every Democratic Sen ator upon this floor. We are threatened or our action; yet, sir, I tell :he arentlemen of the opposition that this never can become a law. ,Sir, we will appeal to the paople in .1 -J i) ... II - . . uns minier, anu uiey win susiain us who lold in their hands the destinies of the State and instead of having fourteen Republi cans elected to this body next year, we shall have but tenbeinff quite differ ence from thi3 Apportionment Bill. Two years from now I predict that both branches of tno Legislature, and all tho State offi cers will be Democratic. Then will the y heels of government roll on again, unretarded by revolutionary Senates, or insubordinate State officials. Legislative Summary. SENATE. Both Bod.'e3 of the Legislature have now fairly settled down to their work.' And they are occupying most of the time in commit tees, digesting and arranging the various matters refered to them, for the action of their respective bodies In the Senate, on Friday, no bili or joint resolution received final action, althoughtwo were up .on their third readinsr. but refered back. witii instructious. The resolution of the House, agreeing to the clectidd of John B. Dillon, for Librarian4 and appointing Mon day for a joint election, was laid on the table. - On Saturday, tho only matters of im portance was a report . from the committee in tho case of Le. Roy Woods, Senator from Clark County, who reported that his seat is vacant, on the ground that he holds two offices of trust and profit. Final ac uou on tnis report was aeierea. a reso lution was adopted reforing. that part o the Governor's Message in relation to char ges of the means . used in procurig the passage of the Bank of the State to a "se lect committee of Messrs Ilefrart, March, Bobb3, Gooding and Wilson. The Senate - J adjourned untilTuesday.

On Tuesday; bills were passed on their third reading, to define embezzlements and prescribe their punishments; to enable plaintiffs to recover in suits of les3 than $50 in Common Plea3 Courts; requiring County Auditors to have the delinquentlist "pub liseed in the paper having the largest circulation in the county (a good law.) Mr. Wallace presented a minority report in the case of Senator Woods, -declaring that he i3 entitled to his seat on the ground that he was not commissioned as Chaplain. A number of other matters were up, but nothing that received final action. In the Senate, on Wednesday, the only bills that finally passed, was an act in relation to Guardians and wards; and to provide for the approval of Constables Bords. The judiciary committee reported in favor of the amendment of the present interest law; and in favor cf a bill to sere defects in the acknowledgment of deeds; and to

give tho Common Pleas Court jurisdiction in suits amounting to 2,000. The Senate adjourndd at noon, to give the committees lime to work. On Thursday, but little was dene a long discussion on the rules of the Senate for 1855, and particularly on that one declaring that no Senator shall vote on any question in whi-jh he is particularly in-, terested, occupied part of the morning, and and all the afternoon. Tho Judiciary Committee reported 0 bill, authorizing County Auditors to demand foes fjr recording deeds, in advance, which passed to a second reading. A number of resolutions of inquiry and instruction, were introduced and Dassed. 4 A. house Among tho mass of resolutions, reports of comnintees,, bills introduced, 6cc. in the proceedings, there was no definite action on any thing' worthy of notice. On Saturday a large part of the time was occupied in discussing the report of tho Stale Auditor, on his relinquishing the bonds of the Alien and Shaw ceo Hants, and accepting individual 'securities, and the whole question was referred to a com-j miltee, for thorough investigation. A le miltee, lor thorough investigation. A lest Vote was taken on the repeal of the fVlOol rp . ... . , , - o 1 la.X, Ucflding in favor of tho tax. : On Monday bills were introduced up 'o No. Cd,ou various subjects, among others to provide for' receiving the bills of the Ron of duly on ßuar,; Tills tsgooJ. On TuesJay, committees reported against, abolishing the grand jury 'system; against abolishing capital punishment; against allowing parties to suits to swear on their book accounts; against dividing their school funds according to tho number of scholars; and nga'nst abolishing the office of Superintendent of Public Instruction. A joint resolution. to amend the Constitution so as to require foreigners to bo naturalized befoie tl.cy can vote, was lost' bv a -large majori).' On Wednesday, a large amount of business was done. The bill reiru!atinr Divor ces passed to a third reading. It was discussed at considerable leuirth, but the amendments proposed were all laid on the table. The joint resolution "urging 'the repeal of the duty on sugar passed, and will be forwarded to our National Representatives. Several petitions from different parts of the Slate, have been presented, urging'the passage of a law to prevent incompetent persons from practicing medicines. A law on this subject would be of great benefit, and we hope tha committee will frame one that will pass. On Thursday, Reports were made against re-organizing the malhia: against giving the Governor power to appoint officers to the Benevolent Iustuulions; to require a bond of 853,000 from the Siate Auditor; and the bill increasing the number of Judicial ( Circuits was reported against, but refered back wilh instructions. A bill was introduced to regulate elections, requiring a residence of six months in the township, and an oath that he has not been hired to make his residence for the purpose of illegal votiiisr. Two or three bills of special importance were passed, and action on others laid over. Arrival of the Steamer Atlantic. New York, Jan. 3. The Atlantic hasi arrived with dates to the 7th.
