FOR PRESIDKNT, HENRY CLAY.

Letters from the Senior Editor. WASiii.tGTijr Hall, Jan. 4th, 1S41. Considerable portion ol this day has been thrown away in the discussion of a resolution reported by a aelecl committor, declaring that Mr. Woolman, a member of the House from

' Mr. Bowles took a view which tho committee found

out a dollar in the c ffcrs of Ihe Slate ; our hnan jCial mailers in auch a condition, that the great j wisdom of even Albert Gallatin himself, were ho !a member of the committee, would be of but litlie avail. If this House is willing to throw ihe State into the arms of the bank, he would be .satisfied but he would be be'ter satisfied, if the State should conclude logo ahtud cn her own resources. J Mr. Kimnoson hoped the House would concur iin his amendment, in relation to a loan of B-mk I scrip. A loan of this description, would be nothing inoro nor less than an issue of State scrip. He believed that a majority of this Ifouse was op

posed to such issue, under any circumstances

j Mr. Wright opposed the issue of scrip of

description.

Mr. Parker contended, that a loan of bank scrip

of the situation in e xempt from poll tax for spending time to prepare the treasury wi'h themselves for the serviee of the country.

Mr. Stanford moved ta amend by referring it to the committee on fi-iance, which amendment was accepted by Mr. C-ing. Mr. Head hoped that the amendment wiu! : no' be adopted. It locked to o mut h ! ike t ha S:an 1 i n j Army of Van Biren thu w had heard sj r:u;ii of in IS 10.

ning of the 5th, however, Mr. Woolman sent in his resignation, and has left here for home. The bill of the Sonata, providing that the delinquent lists in certain counties shall be set up in said counties instead of being published in papers, was laid on the table, w here it will in o probability sleep. The bill of the Senate, prohibiting the sale of spirituous liquors in the town of Greensborough, Henry county, in less quantities than ten gallon, except for mechanical, medicinal, or sacra

mental purposes, was ordered to be engrossed without amendmont, and will probably pass and become a law. Tho balanco of the day was spent in the discussion of a bill for the relief of settlers on Canal lands, without any definite action being bad thereon. January, 2, 181 1. The House again proceeded to the consideration of the bill, providing for tho issue of treasury notes, to defray the ordinary expenses of the government the question being, on tho motiontion of Mr. Gorman, to lay said billon the taIjIb; wl.iv.U .- J..1 .. tonil. joa SI. nnoa 49. Mr. Simonson moved that the bi 1 be recommitted to the committee of Ways and Means '

with instructions, that the Treasurer of State be authorized to negotiate with tho Bank, or any other moneyed institution or individual, for a loan of bankable funds, or bank scrip, not exceeding $75,000, upon terms not exceeding G per cent.; and in case said negociation cannot be effected upon reasonable and just terms, said treasurer be empowered to issue treasury warrants drawing six per cent, per annum for all dues from the public treasury fur the ensuing year. Mr. Bowles hoped, that the bill would not be eo re-committed. There was no prospect of obtaining any such loan from th Bink. Gentlemen would not be compelled to tako treasury aotee for Shcir services; ;hev can anv of them

procure treasury warrants. j Mr, Parker was surprised, that tho committeo ' bf Ways and Means had not ngrecd upon some' propositions that they could unanimously present' to this House, and prevent the whole subject ! from being again thrown upon the considerationof the body. Ho favored iho proposition of the; gentleman from Clak,ns he had ngrced loan amendment proposed by himself, that if good funds; could not be procured lioiu tho Bmk, that 6he might loan us Bmk S rip. lie referred to the! opinion of Albert Gallatin, expressed to a gentleman ol this State, now no more, that Indiana ; should avoid the further issue of treasury notes; j aa this circulation had dono more to inj ire the credit ol Indiana than any other circumstance. ! He trusted the motion might prevail, and that if we did noi get good funds from tho Bank, we might gel the B.uik Scrip, which would answer our purposes. 1 Mr. Gorman w9 opposed to the motion to re-j commit. He had a proposition, which ho would ; offer, at the proper time, providing for a loan from the Bank, and a hypothecation of (icasury nuic which might bo used by tbo B.tnk, in case wc fail to meet thloan in good money. Mr. l)jnn, the Treasurer, had calculated that we might de- j pend upon at least $20,000 being paid into the j

treasury in good money, during the coming year. He believed a loan might bo negociated if the Bank were assured that the taxes would not be reduced. Mr. Edmonson moved thaf surh of the instructions as relates to a loan cf B mk scrip be stricken out. Mr. Bowles said, be thought he saw a disposition, on the part of the gentlman, to throw the Stale into the arms of our friend, the Bank. That institution, he believed, was entirely unable to loan us a cent, unless she had some advantages, which he was willing to give her. The bank had been so managed, that were she to issue an edditional amount of $70,000, she would entirely fail to meet her liabilities. He saw no differ

ence in borrowing bank scrip or issuiDg treasury ' notes. Mr. Read was a member of the committee of: ways and means and was present at ihe confer-

ence wnn tne rresiaeni oi ine nanx. ue 63 w

to be taken in Switzerland county, to prove illegal votes were cast for either c.f the candidates for Senator; the 6aid depositions to be ta. ken by either party on three days notice to iho other, and the whole thereof to be returned on or before tho 12;h of January, Mr. Chapman moved c call of the Senntp, which being ordered, all of tho Senators answered to their names except Messrs. Akin and Wpole. Tho Senate then ordered the absentees to be sent for; boih gentlemen appeared in their seats, and a further call was suspended. Mr. Chapmnn said that the 15h of Januarywas fixed upon as the time for adjournment, and if this resolution passed, the case could not be decided this session. Mr. Ewing spoke in favor of the adoption of

expediency of extending the'time of payment to

tho purchasers of Wabasn and Lno canal lands, whi'-h wns concurred in. Mr. Burke offered a resolution relative to the propriety of providing by law lor the Bmk to collect 10 per cent, perannutn of the suspended debt of s iij bank, also of txtetiding the sama provisions tu individuals, which tins adopted. Senate. Friday, Jan. .", 1S11. Mr. Hitch ey moved to change the order of business so as to take up the joint resolution in relation to the fine imposed upon Gen. Jackson, which was decided in the affirmative aves 2.", noes iil. Mr. Dfrees occupied tho 11 ior until Mr. lowing arrived with a part of the State Library in his hands in order to discuss the question. After some remarks on point of order, Mr. Ritchey moved that it be made the special order of ihodiy this afternoon, which motion prevailed. In tho afternoon, the resolution respecting the refunding of the Jacksi n line coming up, Mr. Ewing introduced several amendments one in favor of tho one term principle one a-

the resolution, and urced that the committee on gainst the sub treasury another nirainst ihe

elections should have sent for persons and papers, Handing army another ogainst tho veto power, in order to place the whole subject beforo the Mr. Read rose to a point of order, and referred Senate, at this time. to 27ih rule, which says: "No new motion or Mr. Chapman alluded to the time that had al- proposition 6haII be admitted under the color of ready been allowed Mr. Henry to procure all the amendment, as a substituto for the motion or evidence necessary.

Mr. Herriman moved to re-consider ihe vote laying the report of the committee on Elections on the table, which was decided in iho negative ayes 21, noes 27. Mr. Read asked leave to introduce a resolution excluding David Henry from voting on any question touching his right to a seat, and inviting Daniel Kelso to a Beat in the Senate. The Senate refused to grant leave. Mr. Tannehill, from the committee on judiciary, reported back a bill amendatory of an act to organize the militia of Indiana, and to form independent companies. Mr. Sfinds moved to strike out tho Tlth soc lion, which exempted those belonging to indepen dent companies from a poll tax, either for State or county purposes. Mr. Mitchell hoped that the Sonata would not strike out this provision in the bill it would render it ineffectual. Ho believed that it would make no great difference in the State revenue if men had to pay 30 or 40 dollars for uniform, they oighl not to be required to pav a poll tax if they have to fight for thnir country, let tl.ose who stay at home raise the potatoes. Mr. Reyburn was io favor ol sinking out the section. Mr. Tannehill was aware that mi'itsiry sffiirs were now at a very low ebb, and that unless something was done, the militia system would

Both Houses then proceeded tosaiJ ciect on, with closed doors ; which resulted in the reelection of Ebcl C. Pepper fur tho term of four years. j Mr. Edmonson from the committeo on jthe State B nk, to which tho sulj.ct was referred, m;do the following report : j That they hav o compared the reports of jthe several Branches, with that of the statement contained in the report of the President oljtlie Slate Bank, and find ihem to ngrce ; but iliese mere statements ero not of that character which will justify the committee in expressing any sentiment, cither f -iv orable, as to Ihe Irca I condition of the Bmk. Such an expression can, -with safety only be hazarded by a visiter to! the several Branches, who may havo examined strictly into tho items composicg ih siato of the institution. Tho reports, however, exhibit the idea, that there is !$0t;rj,22t 00 in specie'and 01, OUO 00 in paper of other Branches on blind, making over a million of immediate resources, while the real circulation (dficr deducting! the amount on hand in tho overnl Branches) rmy be set down at about 2,000,000 00 ; in other words, about two dollars in circulation for one in specie and oiher Bmk notes on hand, which

state of ihings, with that share of confidence usually extended to Buiks, would seem to1 secure a continuance of specie payments. A reduction of the capital stuck to the nmount SfiOO.OOO 00 is commendable, end a s'lll furjiher reduction cf individual stock in intny of! the Branches, if it could bo done by diminishing! ihe suspended debt, or even such piper upon which ' the regubir curtailments may not be pid, wfiuld bo beneficial to ihe interests (A iho institutions and tend much to place it in a cioro prosperous

the bank officers. He was of the opinion, after looking over the whole ground, that the bank would be unable to grant us a loan. So far as an issue of treasury notes was concerned, ho felt

himself instructed to go against the issue or re-is

ways ready for self-defence. He was in favor of

mustering three times a year one batta!!ion, one company, nnd one regimental muster. lie also alluded to the fact, that the State could not have her portion of the arms, because she had not properly attended to military affairs. Mr. Ewing said that when he saw the old soldiers of the late war speak of three musters a year another gentleman talk of patriotism and another say that it was better to muster than raise potatoes, he knew not bow to reconcile all these conflicting interests. He contended that it was not mustering three days iu a vear that made warriors war was a science. He saw no necessity of men meeting tws or three times a year to muster and getting drunk and fighting it only made work for the doctors and lawyers. He was in favor of musteriog only once a year. 1

Mr. Lwmg moved to refer it to ihe committee

for mustering once a year. Mr. Mitchell said the Senator from Knox had

Mr. Ewing continued his arguments and pro

posed to givo way for a motion to adjourn. Sev- , erl gentlemen cried out " go on " " go 011.'" Mr. Ewing said he would ot n-k lor more than an hour to concluoo his speech tomorrow. Mr. Todd moved an adj ournment. The President said he would noi put the mo- ' (ion without tho Senator from Knox yielded the ' floor. j

Mr. Irving said the Senator from Knox did

not yield ihe floor. Mr. E. then went on with

Chapman said, that at a rcent meeting held by the Democratic party in Tippecanoe county, for the p.irpo-e of appointing delegates M the 8tU to January Convention, a resolution of the following import n offered, by a eenileinan from Lafayrtle: " Jlemlrcd, That (Sen. f.ctris Cart, the soldier and patriot, who in early life, took his rille on his shoulder anl his knapsack on his hack, and penetrated the wilderness of t.ie wot made mi early home with the pioneer! endo red in common with them their hardships and privations and when hit country called for aid in a war with the merciless savage, he was the first to enter the fight, and with " knife to knife " he fought throughout that bloody con--.et." Una i f the faithful followers, nf the dandy magician of Kindcrhook , unwilling that (icn.

Having appointed various committees ihe Convention adj turned for tho "roast beef." At Iwo o'clock they again met, and the committee appointed to select Liectori in the several Congressional Districts, reported the ; following, which report was concurred in by the ' Con vc niifii. j K'ectors for the State at largo.
