INDIANA LEGISLATURE.
SENATE. Jan. 20. Mr. Plummcr from the committee on Agriculture, to whom was referred a bill to encourage domes (ic Manufacture?, reported the fame back to the Senate with two amendments The amendments were considered and concurred in. Mr. Boon moved further to amend the bill; on which some dist uon took place; and the motion further to amend
was withdrawn. On motion of Mr. Dumont,thc bill was considered as engrossed, and read a third time. The question being now shall (he bill pass? It was decided in the negative. Mr. Shaw's joint resolution en the West Point Academy was before the Senate, and Us merits ably discussed by Mr. Shaw in favor and the President against it. Jaw 21. Mr. Plummcr, on leave presented the petition of John M'Crcary and others, praying that the law may be 60 amended, that it shall require a majority of the free holders of any town,
to sign a recommendation in favor of
any application before any license shall be granted to vendardentspir-
it?. Mr. Hummer moved ihat the petition be referred to the Committee of Ways and Means. Mr. 1 1 ill is objected to the reference. Mr. Plummer insisted and was seconded by Messrs. Whitcomb and others: when the reference was so made.
On motion of Mr. Beard, the vole on
the passage of the bill of the Senate "to encourage domestic manufactures" was re-considered, and on another motion
the bill was re committed to the committee on agriculture with instructions to amend it by reducing the sum authorized to be paid by the collector to . the agricultural society, to twenty dollars. In the orders of the day, the joint resolution of the Senate instructing our senators, and requesting our representees in congress to oppose any appropriation for the continuance of the Military Academy at West Point, and reported from the committee of the whole
without amendment, was on motion of
Mr. Beard ordered to lie on the table. J ax. 25. Mr. Whitcomb from the
Judiciary committee reported a bill,
suspending the operation of the act of
last session until the tirst day of Janu
nry next, entitled WA Bill in relation to
the seat of justice of Dearborn county
nnd for other purposes;" which was
read.
Mr. Boon moved that the bill be rejected. He 6aid, he considered it a very delicate matter to interfere with the location of county seats which had been established by previous legislatures, that last session he jielded for the accommodation of the Senator from Dearborn, and let his bill pass just as he wished it: but he then told him he would not consent to any other change of his county seat, and fell bound from this promise to oppose it; besides, he could sec no good reason to be contin-
tinually changing, lie, therefore, hoped this legislature would refuse to accept this bill. Mr. Whitcomb gave, at length, the reasons which induced the committee to introduce the bill; the principal of which, had been presented in the accompanying report. Mr. Coswell said, he hoped the bill would not be rejeeted: he thought it but fair, that it should be left to take
its course, that the Senators might examine it, and decide on its merits as they were accustomed to do on other hi IN. Mr Plummer observed, lie was not reaching after popularity: but the great matter with him was to know what was right. Last year a petition was presented signed by 1 ,G00 citizens of Dear
born county asking for a re-location of
their county scat from that petition he felt authorized to take the course he
then look; but he at the same time
thought that Lawrcnceburgh ought to have remonstrated against the reloca!irt If .... i : . i .i ?.

the early part of this season, by Messrs. Itazen and Gales, between Baltimore and Wheeling which we took occasion to notice a short time since, there is another line in operation between Baltimore and this city, of which Mr. Edward Wright of Baltimore is the proprietor. The oysters by this line are conveyed by stages in cans, from Baltimore to Wheeling, thence to this city in steamboats. The proprietor pays for
their conveyance in the People s Line of stages, the rate of two passengers'
seals, daily. Mr. Win. kesslenger is
Ihe agent for this city, lie presented
us the other day with a can for our examination, which had been only five
days coming Irom Baltimore. They were little if any inferior in flavor to the best oysters furnished in the shell,
by eastern oyster houses.
