r i U . I t.iüiUlll L'..iJll Tharstby Morning, Jam IS, 1IESSASE. The Governor' Message is an elabnr te n i able document, treating at length upon ih wrujs niercsiiig topic now c.itatir:? ix. '.::i:;J cf the public. Atno! the subjects for legislative consicer.fro!. is iha'. of Banking. In con-nicti-: .'. with te subj-ct of our monitory affair-, he sjya : Th- liw upon the subject of General P-oki'g has fai'ed to accomplish the pu-no :rr which it was enicted. It has noi fnr.ished, for the use of the people a sou i 1 . irculatin m? hum. The experieure of the two past years fully estab HVs ir e correctness of my remarXs ad-dr-?-o 1 to the last General Assembly on thin er. Ehth, ; 'rject of hanking; and I may adopt, : :j fullest meaning, the sentiment tlfen d, "that past events have clearly r ,i that the testrictions provided by ; are insufficient to prevent abuses ofih? rriT;leg;es granted, "ft:? a mntter of regret that this subyd cu-! not engage .J tint ncrr th attention ot the Gene::,: Assembly at its last session. I ! Bgslri u"e upon your ronsid?ration. th views expressed on this question at that t i rr. r . Th countrv having nvcttraded, a necCSS3ty demmd for exchange to meet Has tern liabilities was created. This state of auMrs catis-d the broker to seek for "oM; and in pursuing ths object, he plai-v'. himself in the position of the merchaut or business man. and was fulfilling one of those vocation not uncommon in such conditions of the country. It rns a fortunate circumstance that the broker Came early. W hid in less thin six months, issued more than six millions of currency an amount not required for the maintenance of a healthy condition In jr monitory affairs; and if the broker ha.; delayed his vtsil for a year longer, a Errtly increased amount of paper circulation would have resulted in greatly in-T-'ised pecuniary losses to the people. 'The practical operation of the law in v.zny instances, has been that tht individual has not sought to locate nd com nenct the business of banking to accom modate the commercial community, but to borrow money for hirMelf under the sanction of the law. Men without capital or with barely credit sufficient to borrow a few thousand dollars in stocks, are furnishd facilities under the law. to become bankers to the extent of millions. With the currency procured upon the first deposit of stocks, other securities have been purchased, and other notes pro cured and thus a Urge circulatioo has been created without a dollar of actual capital. Directors and Bank Presidents are nowissuing this depreciated currancy .over their own counters without any effort. or. it is believed, intention to redeem it. With this currency they purchase bills gttuig an equivalent for his products, is paid in a circulation which he cannot dispose of without a sacrifice nor retain tn his possession without danger. Instances are not wanting where the proprietors of Banks, after suffering their institutions to suspend, have themselves embirkd in the business of buying up their own papr at heavy discount, an I thu plundering the laborer of his hard earnings. The public, a few months since, look ed to our Banking Institutions for relief in hours of embarrassment with confidence, received and circulated the notes is3ne l upon Public Stocks, believing the Free Banking System a safe one, relying upon legislative enactment and the officers of State frr security in their action; but, instead of relief, instead, of money. instead of a healthy state of financial affairs, they now find a great scarcity of money in business channels, an unhealthy state of the money market, and just such jel'wf as rags always furnish to the poor every where. A large amount of the State Stoc& money is now worth but 75 to 80 cents on the dollar : What else can be hoped for. if bank proprietors them' ejres ajre .engaged in purchasing their own paper as stated iu the Message. We hpe instances of this kind are few inded. The farmer pays well for his money. He sells hie property cheap. Shall their interests be protected this winter by legislative enactment, amending the Free Banking law which is so glariugly defective! - - The executive upon this subject says: Under the 12th and 2Sth sections of the law it was undoubtedly competent f'r the Auditor to wind up any Bank not doing business at the place where its bills ere payable. To give more emciea Cr to this provision and to make the da ty imperative upon that officer. I called th attention of the Legislature to the ubjct in my last annual communication. ut having fa;led to procure the required l-y.tUuoo, I renew my recommendations on this .point. The great err0f in tne avr s tnal e entire responsibility of the system is placed in the hands of a single individual, and he an officer of State already charged with duties and trusts of the most important character. This single ; individual determines upon the validity of the organization, the character and Taluc of the stocks, issues the circulation, holds ihesecurilief, passes upon the correctness of the re pofU. .delivers powers ef attjrey foa- the collection of interest, end ia short settles all questions connected with the banks according to his own' unaided judgment.

cöntinuesthis System,"! t - will, in mf judgment bö necessary, in order to secure the confidence of the people, and to protect thir interests, to provide for the organization of a Bank Department, with

a Board of 'Bank Commissioners, with -jfuil power to determine upon the local1S5j iy lne Bank, the necessity for its

1 creation, me solvency or.1 me securities offered, and who should, also. bo charged wilh thrir custody; - ' "1 also recommend, tint, inasmuch as the term of the " present incumbent is about to close, a committee of the two Houses be appointed to investigate fully the conditiuu of. all . matters pertain'iug! to the Batiks connected with the office of Auditor of State, A full report will doubtless do murh to allay the apprehensions of the public, and tstabiish confidence wherever merited. "The valuable and interesting report of the Auditor will present you in detail the operations of the Free Banking system in his hands. "It will doubtless be the policy of the Legislature to provide for the immediate closing, and withdrawal from circulation of the pper. of all such institutions a? persist in the violation of the palpable provisions of law. In doing so, due. regard should be hid both to the interests of the people, and of the banker, so as to prevent undue rxrilement and apprehensions on tin one hand, and less and insolvency on the other. A contrary policy might involve the solvent with the insolvent, the upright man of business with the dishonest and corrupt. With the state of things we have hd for the last year it was not possible to avoil revulsions and mouetary excite j rnents. Circulation of the State B.nk in Oct.. 1S53. was 83.

More than 3.003.000 of this circulation is depreciated; its value being at the mercy of the broker a;td speculator. The same facts, in regard to the decrease of the currency, are true, although perhaps in less proportions, in the adjoining St tej with which we have commercial intercourse. How can any people have stability under this state of monetarv affair? 'We shall always have re vulsions, expansion, contractions, and derangement in the whole business of th country, so long as we foster any system that makes promises to pay monoy, instead of gold or silver, If the inferior circulation were this driy wkhdrawn, I have no doubt we should find a sufficient amount of the constitutional currency among our people '"""tVe have not only a depreciated currency, issued under the authority of law, but we hare a depreciated currency, is sued by milroad, plankroad, and insur ance companies, without tho authority of law. lhcutatids of dollars of this latter kind of depreciated paper have been thrown into circulation, and left to represent an uncertain ad'I variable value in the ordinary transactions of business. The credit of the Slate, and the interest of the people, demand an abatement, of this evil The subject of Education Spoken of at length in the Message, seem of tili more importance. The Ute decision of the supreme Court declaring the law void and in effect declaring'the school tax assessed arid collected under that law erroneous, is of vast importar.ee, effecting se riously many counties, and retarding the progress of the grand object for which the law was enacted. In relation to this law, and the subject of education, the Governor says: , "Indiana under j the -auspices of her new Constitution has, upon "thr subject of education,' adopted a policy that hits commanded the admiration of some of the oldet States of the . Union. Let, us by the most judicious course of legislation.- prevent a .retrograde ' move merit on the part of the State, with rc spect to this very important interest. . 'The recent decision of the Supreme Court on the consolidation of tha avails of school sections, and on the township tax lor school purposes, while they have settled those questions in a manner- sat isfactory to the patties that raised them. do not, in the least degree, disturb the broad basis on which our system of pub lie instruction rests.: "It will be a task worthy of the exer eise of your legislative wisdom, ; to cor rect by some means within, the scope of your legitimate powers, the .inequalities caused by the first decision, in the annual avails of the local funds, la . tho distri. bution of the general fund raised hy the school tax. H is believed that the desired results may be obtained. as teadily as they could baVe been accomplished had the decision been othenvise, , . - .. .- "The second decision, as I understand its import and application, confines .the power and limits, the responsibility of raising funds, fee purposes of adequate and general public instruction, to the Legislature alone. , The distribution ,' of the exercise'of this powet and 'the limiting of its responsibilities to the Gener al Assembly, will produce the. uniformity contempiatea Dy tue constitution, it - . i L'js !.' 2 J.

They .mean., by ' the constrjliotj that the place, upon tho;

word "uniformity," as it appears jn the constitution, to convey the idea that the tax levied for purposes of education, and to be applied in tho payment of teachers, must be levied by the Legislature. If, however, they intend to apply the principle of the decision to all tie details of the municipal regulations of the school

affairs of townships and towns," the in terests of education imperiously demand an early amendment to the "constitution. In order to secure efficiency in the operations of any system of public instruction, tho action of the, people in townships and in district orgmizations, is indispensably necesa ry.. - "I cannot for a moment, suppose that corporate towns and cities may be invested, constitutionally, wilh the powers necessary to manage their municiple affairs, according to their peculiar circumstances, iu every department of local interest, excepting only that mot important of all interests, the education of youth. It would be a ruinous policy to mike an exception so fatal to all prospects of efficient action on the part ol one of the most esstntial elements of human progress. "It is gratifying to know that, where the school law has been carried into ef fect, according to its obvious import. under the control of efficient officers, and without the disturbing influence of legal qurstini, its action has been happy and harmonious, and warrants the expectation that, wilh slight amendments, not affecting its vital principles, but merely correcting some oversights and supplying some deficiencies, it will remain among our statutes, an exponent of the wisdom of its frair.-rs. and a blessing and an honor to the Stnte, "T?ie sius of our educational progress may be seen in the increasing number of graded schools some of established repu tation. and others aspiring to that posi tion and in the large, commodious, and costly edifices that have been erected for purposes of education, in various parts of the Slate. The building of numerous school houses, mid the increasing demand for competent teachers, are added evidences of the favor with which the people regard our educational interests. The reemt organization of aTeatherb' Institute, and the latter organization of a State Teachers' Association, wilh its associated lectures, 1 hail as omens of good; and ptedict that beneficial aud far reaching influences will flow out from these institu ti ius. During'the pust two years, the steady increase of the number of students in our several Colleges, cud the manifestation on the part of thoe who have charge of these institutions, of an active sympathy wilh all the educational movements of the State, have affordel additional and gratifying evidences of ihr sound state of popular opinion on the subject of education. "It is'the duty of the State totextcnd to U the general educational enterprises of her citizens, the countenance aud encour agement of a liberal polijy ; and. in the. maintaioance of such a policy, to exempt from taxation at least those funds tint have bern bestowed by private munificence, for the moral and intellectual training of the youth of the State." Unnn ihv nWct' ,TV', ' connection with a prohibitory law, the Governor iir his Message is emphatic. llesiys "It has always seemed to me, l?iat the individual who srdls intoxicating liq:or in violation of law. and the person v"ho becomes a drunkard by the h ibituil u?e of such liquors, ara boih guilty. A drunkard should by law, be disqualified Tr the making of contracts, or tho m.inngoment of property, thoreby protecting the fami ly from the designs of tho cunning nni ruel in the. waste and destruction of his estulo. We shall fail in on r duty unless we throw tho strong arm of law n round the wii and children of tfie inebriate. ' No one can -'doubt- that there i ft stforg public sentiment in Indiana, in fsrbr of u c'.mngQ in outlaw's upon this soSjeclf and it is the doty of the people's servants t carry out that sentiment. It will give nr J nleaaure to c.i-oora-t with the RftVresnntalives of the people, tn the adoption of! nny constitutional measures, that may be calcnlited tV remove this acknowledged e vil from the State." : - TI119 question has b.-rn rgitated for ypary, much-) zeal manifested by a; krge porlion of tha electors cf this Slate, makes up one of tho political' issues of the U. States, and U'undej discussion in Europe. A' number of States have enacted prohibitory laws. , and in sovoral States the Su premo Courts havo held :hem unconstitulional. The recent elections in the State t ... of New Yo'ilc, Indiana, and other Statct, and oxprcssivo of n determination on the part of the people, to prohibit tho traffic if possible; kVctPopuli. Vox Dei" is an adage we fully ' adopt in sentiment, and hold tliat rs an evidence, of a 'majority is now expressed in favor of such a prohibi. tion, uot a meager majority," but as we believe one large enough to set the question at rest; provide I Representatives of the people will reflect their will in a Legisla. tivo holies. .

Vet the B timer. INNOVATION NOT I33PROVEMENT. There are a few 'people whose ideas are so excessively refined, their progressive faculties so wonderfully sharpened, that they seem to pierce with prophetic eye, the dark shadows of futurity, and be able to forsee the wants and exigences of coming centuries, ,but it generally happens that they can see ouly what their own limited and partial imaginations tell them would be an improvement in the present state of affairs; and it also, sometimes, happens that thosi far seeing sages are lacking the judgment to discover the difference between innovation and amendment. With their second sight, they see woman elevated to a politicnl and physical equality with man see her, wilh calm confidence driving the Iron Horse, at the rate of 100 miles an hour, along the great Pacific Railway; or. 'with hard and black ened hinds, "polting" the heavy "scow" niong" our magnificent rivers; while her tamed and gentle worser-half staj s tlemurely nt home, to quiet the noiy chil dren and make the butler. They hear her solemnly delivering her opinions from the Lrgal bench; shouting her con viction-" from the- pulpit; or bawlins through the s'lreets at the heid of a fan atical crowd, peeking redress for som real or fancied injury; they see children educated on entirely new and improved principles, by which a child of ordinary capacity can require nil the useful and solid branches of education in four easy lessons.Uhe ornamental in six. The press, propelled by the power of eiectro mag netism, throws off its 100 000 copie? in an hour, end in all books, papers and manuscripts, stenography and phonetics have superseded and taken the place of typography, and chimgraphy. The lawyer writes, tho clergyman preaches, and the child spells in phonetics. Evrythins; done on a new system which he hns been advocating for years, seems, to his excited imagination to be in vogue among the dentz-ns of earth at that happy period, and his whole being is inspired wilh new life and vigor on witnessing the workings of thoe his darling schemes But his eagerness has perverted his better judgment, and what he sees are only the pfiantasmagorical shapes that flit in bis own heated imagination. Now, let us ask any candid, impartial thinker, what good can remit from the efforts of men such as these ? snd one class in particular, vho are striving to overthrow our entire system of orthography, which is certainly bsed up-n as pure principles of Rhetoric as that cf ary language now in use, and who would introduce a horrid system of cross-lines, dots and scratches, for our beautiful and eymetrical chirography. Whit benefit can acrue from the adoption of such an absurd system of writing and spelling as the phonetic? The only argument in its fpr that'V1 be .brought forward, in. that each sound has its own symooi, and of course there can be no such things s silent letters. &c, but instead of auxiliaries found by combinations of the sme symbols, we must introduce a system of crooked marks containing 14 more charnciers than there are in our present 1. phabet, so that we, heraus we are some, thing of an original people, may hive something original ab-uit our language. But in truth, there is littlo that is purely original about our language. It is a compounded one formed from rudiments taken from 3 original, and 4 or 5 d?rived language",' which compound has given us, according to the fri." f be greatest living essayi 6t, the most 4'fxprC're language now in use," and for oil thVpu'po?esof the poet, statesman, and philos opher. ''equalled by that of Greece alone.' " ' The greatest objection to our present system, that the advocates of phonetics can urge, is, that many words pronounced exactly alike, are spelled by different combinations of letters, and that some combinations are pronounced differently in different words. Now that is certainly just as it should be. for words of different orthography which are pronounced alike, always have a different signification, and the mind receives the jdea much easier - when the real meahfng of the'word is at once undetstood. than it ! does when' we have to discover it by the connec lion. Words are only symbols by which the idea is presented to the mind; " then what is the use of learning a new system, which, to become master of would require 83 much study as it would to go through a course of mathematics, and which presents fully as many difficulties and absurdities ts the one now in use, when the same results can' only be accomplished? We ofie n hear an oTd proverb which seems very applicable to the case bnfore'us. "Let' good enough a-f lone."' What, if we are Americans? Is present 6ysTem.
