Oral India**. December lltb was the seventy-ninth anniversary of the admission of the state of Indiana Into the Union, that event occurring December 11,1816. Indiana was originally a part of the French possessions, and probably a Canadian French eolony had established one or more trading posts within its present boundaries before the dose of the seventeenth century. In 1708 there was a fresh migration of considerable numbers, who settled at Vincennes, Corydon and other points. They speedily made friends with the Indian tribes then inhabiting the country, and so far amalgamated with them as to adopt

their habits and customs. Nothing was heard of them till the cession of the territory to the English in 1783, wheu by the treaty their territorial rights were confirmed. By the treaty of 1763 this as well as the whole northwest territory, was transferred to the United States In 1788 there was trouble with the Indians and a local war ensued, which caused great distress among the settlers at Vincennes. The Indians were attacked at the mouth of Tippecanoe by General Wilkinson in 1781,' and throogh^his judicious management and that of General Wayne several victories were gained, the Indians were compelled to submit and a dangerous confederation of the tribes was broken up. A time of greater peace and quietude followed, very little disturbed by the raids of the hostile Indians. In 1795 the United States obtained several eligible tracts of land by the treaty of Greenville, and a considerable number of emigrants settled in the territory. Ohio was created into a separate territory May 7,1309. and all the country west and north of it organized as the new government of Indiana. The same year, according to the Uuited States eelisus, there were 4JB75 inhabitants in the present limit of the state. Michigan territory was set off from it 1805, and Illinois territory in 1809, leaving Indiana territory with Its present boundaries, lu 1810, notwithstanding some Indian troubles iu the five or six years preoediug, the population had increased to 94,530. In 1311 the Shawnees, oue of the largest tribes of ludianas in the territory, were excited to j frenzy by the eloquence of their prophet and leader, Tecuraseh, and commenced a series of raids and outrages against the settlers. William Henry Harrison (afterward president of the United States) assembled a foipe of regulate aud militia at Yiueeuues, and on November 6,1811, marched to Tippecanoe, on the Wabash, the prophet’s town, and demanded the restoration of the property which the Indians had taken from the settlers. After a parley, the Indians proposed a delay till the next morning aud gave iutimations of their readiness to enter into an amicable arrangement. I>uring the night, however, they made, a swtden aud violent I attack on the forces under General Ham- j son, but to their surprise, found them: watchful.and prepared. A short but san-j gumary battle ensued; the Indians under shouts and encouragements of their prophet leader, fought with desperation; but they could uot resist the steady and resolute advances of the white troops, aud, after a | terrible slaughter, the? fled, sullen but' thoroughly defeated; and soon after theut; town having beeu burned aud the surround?! iug country laid to waste by the victorious j troop, the Shawnees sued for peace. j The war with Great Britain, which soon followed, gave a fresh impulse to ludian ] hostilities, but the tribes were again thoroughly humbled aud subdued, and after ihe pace of 1815, never molested the Indiana settlers again. In December,1815, the subject of the admission into the Union j as a state began to be agitated throughout the territory; in 1816i?an enabling act, was | passed by congress; a convention was called and the first constitution of Indiana adopted June 29, and December 11, 1816, Indiana was admitted into the Union. * Her growth from this time onward was very rapid, the census of lt$J0 showing an increase of 500.2 per cent, during the preoediug decade. The completion of the Erie canal and the building of the national road stimulated immigration injo the fertile and beautiful state, aud more than 8,000,000 acres, of government lands were purchased within the state, and in the ten years ending ajjth 1810 the population had increased 133.1 per cent. Then commenced an era of wild speculation. Eight railroad companies were incorporated, the Wabash and Erie canal was begun and driven forward with gnat raSbank with thirteen branches , and numerous other great stared by the state and its t the crash came in 1837 there mkroptcy and a state debt of $14,057,000, the-intereet on which was not paid wholly or in part till 1846. Yet in 1840 it was found that the population of the state had doubled, and that immigrants to the state bad taken up 9,135,688 acres of government lands. In 1846 arrangements were made for the resumption of interest on the state debt and prosperity began to

return. In 1850, the increase of population during the previous decade was found to be 44.1 per cent. In 1851 a new constitution was adopted, and in 1858 a free banking law passed. The deeade of 1850 to i860 was marked by the poinpletknr of its great I canal from the lakes to the Ohio, a* well as by the execution of other important public works, and by the great increase of its railroad facilities, from 898 miles in 1850. to 9408 miles in 1800. The financial panic I of 185? made havoc of the free banks of the state, but produced far leas disaster than that of 183?. In the late civil war Indiana sent her toll • quota to the field, and though there was I some trouble at first through machinations of thorn opposed to the war, which neceeei

tatcd the assumption of unusual war powers by the governor, the general record of the stote for patriotism and efficient sendee was in the highest degree honorable to it. The territorial governors of the state were: William H. Harrison, 1800-11: John Gibson (acting), 1811-18; Thomas Posey, 1818-16. After it became a state, jt he following men filled the governor's chair; Jonathan Jennings, 1816-38; William Hendricks, 1833-35; James B. Ray, 1885-81; Noah Noble, 1881-87; David Wallace, 1887-40; Samuel Bigger, 1840-48; James Whitcomb, 1848-48; Paris C. Dunning; -1848-49; Joseph A. Wright, 1849-57; Ashbel P.
