From tlif Indiana Journal. LEGISLATIVE. In the Senate, since our last, sevcfal i:itercstinc debates, on various subjects, have taken place. The bill providing for the payment, by the state, of postage on documents and papers forwarded lrom the seat of rovernment bv members of the Leeds-

lature, has been postponed indefinitely. , in its defence, because by means oT eircumA bill providing for the divorce of a Mr. j st;m,.jai evidence he could trace its descent Russell of Marion county, has been lost!from th.at person as correctly as any genehy a dec isive majority, From the debate aPy whatever could be traced, 'lie reand the vote on this bill, we take it for j minded the Senate of the resolution sub-

There are some fortv or fifty bills and joint resolutions now before the House on their first and second readings. Kesolutions still continue to be offered in rrreat profusion on the subject of adding differ ent works to lhe system of internal im provements. 1 here seems to be a majority in the House in favor of an extension of the system; but it is impossible to say whether a majority will agree upon any particular work. Tho committee, to whom was referred tho subject of raising certain salaries, eve reported a bill this morning fixing the salary of the (Jovcrnor at iifeen hundred dollars this part of the act to take effect after the expiration of the term of the present incumbent; Circuit Judges, one thousand; Supreme Judges, fifteen hundred this part to take effect from the passage of the act; the pay of members of the Legislature at three dollars per day; President of the Senate and Speaker of the House, at four this part to take effect from the first Monday in August next.

The special order in the Senate to-dav was (i;e resolution of Mr. Kwixo. of Ohio, for reeimling the Treasury Circular of July 11th, 18.-H. Mr. Crittenden was entitled to the floor, but waived his privilege for a few minutes to give Mr. Denton an opportunity to read certain extracts which constituted a part of his argument, and which he had not time to bring in yesterday, though he spoke for four mortal hours! They were garbled passages from speeches of" Mr. Webster: and he promised solemnly to publish them in "the poor speech to which my re marks will hereafter give birth." This -...!.. 1 , as iiiuaiu iu ue mouestv tmt it was in reality truth. A poor s'ocech it will be. which no body will venture upon reading. but which the author will take care to recite whether he can find a stage or an audience for his buffooneries. Mr. Chittenden's speech was a mas terly effort of wit, argument and eloquence. in ttie laculty ol popular reasoning, this gentleman is great, but in keen and cutting sarcasm, I question whether he has an equal in either House. Occasionally, to-day, he indulged in th.at delightful badinage of whiV'i no other speaker has such a command as himself except, per1 . . . naps, .Mr. i.lay. Jie seemed now and then, during Mr. Denton's speech yes terday, to contemplate widi tne most balmy feelings of gratdieaf.on, the blunders o'f that industrious, hard-working, but bullheaded clod compcller, and to the ludicrous images which then visited him, 1 doubt not he gave form and spirit to-day. The Senate was crowded in every part manv bl ight eyes glanced the expression of their admiration ol the speaker's eloqaenee many a beauteous face became radient with mirth, as lla;di afa r flash of wit and raillery followed in rapid Ft'.ccessii-p.

He fpoke of it with tie : indignation natural to an honorable mind ; when unjustly assiile l, and with the contemtuoiis tone that was proper to one that was so highly elevated shove the miserable sphere of : the assailant. One of the stanoieg topics of reproach with that perw i? that thv made appro-

pnations much too small, and wnh inexcusable tardiness and this when it was notorious that thirty millions had been appropriated! Mr. C said he was glad to take not only his own share but etery other man's tharc oi" the blame on this account. lie then proceeded to the Trea-ury Circular; and gave us the true history of tins famous and most iniquitous measure.

lie excused the zeal exhibited by Benton milled by Denton at the last session, provided that nothing but gold and silver should be received in payment for the publie lands. It was referred to the committee on public lauds. Denton tried long and laboriously to procure the adoption ol a resolution, instructed the committee to report a bill in accordance wiih it but in spile of all bis endeavors his proposition was ordered to lie on the table. Such was the inglorious result. It was permitted to sleep, and received a silent but most unequivocal condemnation. No sooner, however, had Congress adjourned, than this re jected and despied measure is taken, and wrought up with certain ad captandum auditions and embellishments, calculated to mislead the ignorant, the prejudiced, & unwary, into theTreasury Circular. A proposition which was thrown aside with contempt by the Senate, is taken up during the recess Sc rendered effective, by a mere Treas iii v Order. Mr. Crittenden dwelt with remarkable eloquence and effect on the atrocious character of this process, whereby the executive authority was made to usurp, and supply the place of the legislative authority. Mr. Crittenden" objected therefore, to the time and manner in which the measure had been adopted both were contrary to the spirit of the Constitution. lie oMtcted also to the discrimination bich it made between classes of the pcoi!e, and between public debtors. He lienieil mat tlic national i.egi.-lar.irc nau the power to make such a deserimination and a fortiori, the Executive had not: Nor had that functionary the power to fix the price of the public lands. The order was illegal and beyond his competency for other reasons. It compelled the public debtors in the West to pay gold and silver; whde those on the athmtie border were allowed to pay in a more convenient medium. This is surely most unreasonable and unjust, and its consequences to the West have been most disastrous. The specie is collected in the West, but expended elsewhere and thus the circular operates to produce a perpetual dram of specie from the 'West. I am obliged to defer for the present, a notice of other topics in this admirable speech . Mr. WrnsTER will speak to-morrow. i.i IT !. 1 1 1 II e mov EN I ON d the adjournment to-dav.

The Constitution of Texas prohibits an alien or non-resident from holding lands there.

II. Everett, Esq. Commissioner of lands, on or before the first of December next. Erin. WISE'S RESOLUTION. The Globe calls the resolution of Mr. W ise "an impeaching resolution." If ever contemptible sophistry and gross falsehood were found in any charge, they belong to this, which imputes to a simple resolution of inquiry the character ot a ' formal impeachment. We are told by the ! Executive printer lira, "the President, by the denial of the calumnies cf ( )pposi:i.m, ! and tendering die issue to the grand inquest of the nation, directly challenges in1 quiry, specific charges, and proof, from 1 the assailants of thepublic functionaries." No one has said that the President flinches from investigation. Bat the oilier '"public, functionaries" do shrink, shuffle, 'turn every way, to shun the inquiry which it is said' the President has challenged. That inquiry is the very thing they are resolved by all means to prej vent, because they know upon it could be found specific charges and irrefragable proofs. If the Heads of the Executive I Departments have the proud consciousness jof being what they ought to be if they 'deserve the compliments paid them by the j writers of the message why all this sensitiveness to scrutiny? Why contrive the humbug restilution put forth by II r. Pearct? ,W. ,'.!'. The price cf I'orL.

The fashiona ble circle at Boston has been romewbat thrown into a flurry by the elopement of one of the Belles. It seems that a young man of classical education, imposing manners and fine appearance, visited Nahant during the summer, where he first became acquainted with the young lady, and fell in Jove with her. The feeling was reciprocated, he declared himself, and was accepted. Not possessing wealth, whilst the young lady's parents were exceedingly opulent, he dared not ask their consent, and was obliged to resort to stratagem. The family being in want of a coachman, he applied for the place, and obtained it, where he was enabled daily to fee his bctrolheti, which rescued in an elopement last week, going off in the family coach, the bridegroom acting as driver.
