of depreciation should be applied. Land remaining in the market, at successive periods, should be reduced in price; after a determinate period, should be given to actual settler3. The amount of debts due the General

j Government for public hinds is yet very

great, though repeated efforts have been made to extend relief to the unfortunate purchaser. The liberal spirit which has heretofore actuated the General Government, in granting relief, will not permit it now to exact the literal fulfilment of a hard

bargain. When those lands were purcha

sed, paper money was plenty, produce

j brought a high price, credit was given, &z

all concurred to deceive the purchaser of the lands. Other times have succeeded, and it is suggested that all who paid an entrance of 80 dollars be entitle to a patent for 80 acres of land, and so in proportion.

The second class to be coci' po-cd of the rest of the able bodied men, Sz Ao be called upon for military duty only upon extraordinary emergencies. "As a consequence, the conscientious will be exempt in times of peace from duty, penaltics or equivalents, the active corps beinjj voluntary." The expense of such an establishment it is thought would be less than of any other. Notice is taken of the late examination of the pupils at the State Seminary, by the Board of Visitors. The result was satisfactory, and it is urged that the institution should have a College charter. It has now a fund which will produce towards its support about two thousand dollars annually. It is recommended to apportion punishments to crimes more justly than is dons by the exiling code that a distinction bo made between graud and petit larceny and that no one be sentenced to the Penitentiary for a less term than three years. The propriety of a small annual appropriation for the improvement of the White l ivers is suggested ai d urged. "The permanent location of the National Rond, has He.11 completed this season, a far westward as the line dividing Indiana from Illinois. We shall loo!: to the completion of this road with much anxiety, until it is finished. It has already occasioned the germs of torru, and farms are opening near it, upon the faith that no circumstance will occur to discontinue its progress.
