Monsieur Louii liollet, alia Ilurhurd Coligney, and divert other names, (the lost he assumed at this plce,) arrived hero tome two weeks "iiicr, i: is believed, in the stae from Louisville, Ky. Soon after his arrival, he imposed himself upon several of our most respectable citizens as a Marquis, (one of the second order of nobility in France, and in England his title v .!d place him next i; rank to a duke.)

Mr. CAfjiNGTo.N: I fee in the Vincennes Sun, an article signed "Vox Populi," in which, hono-able ir:;Tiox is made of our Senator anu l.epreseutative. It charges fhem with the :icsr Ht -ocs offence of suggesting to the Whigs tne importance of acting t tho coming Congressionrd election, with union and concert. This article was evidently written by a loco foco. It is a Van Buren trick to produce a division in tho Whig party. 1 would s-iy to the writer that, "he can't come it." The Whigs are not so soft as to bo gulled by the shallow artii". c ; of io puny a trickster. Were we threaten: 1 with a foreign invasion, this writer would have every man shoulder his i:v.:. k?t, marc.i out singly, and fight the enemy on his own hook. It would be very wrong for the people to meet together, shcose a captain and act in con cert against tho foe. 1 believe that our opjonent3 advocate principles dangerous to our liberties, and to defeat them, we must harmonize. Did not the Van Buren party nominate their candidate at the last elec tion? And what was tho result? Their nominee beat our worthy fellow citizen John Ewing, over 1200 votes. Now this Van Buren writer, knowing that John W. Davi3 cannot be re-elected unless there is o division in our party, tells the Whigs it is wrong, very wrong indeed to concentrat thffir votes upon one candidate. But he is cunning enough, not to tell them, that if they divide as he wishes, it will elect Mr. Davis. We have elected General Harrison, and it is nothing more than iu-";ce to elect such n Conrrss as will srive Inm n FAIH SHAKE. A WHIG. Knox countv, Jan. '22 1, 111. From the InJiana Journal. LEftlSLATlVI?. On Saturday, Mr. Smith of F., chair man of the committee on canals and in ternal improvements, made a report of gret length and interest, in relation to the pub'ic works of th e state, accompanied by a bill for the classification and further prosecution of the works. Tho bill provides that the works shall be divided into three 'c!ascs, as follows; The Whitewater ranal from'Brookville to the National road, tho Madison and Indianapolis rail road from Vernon to Edinburgh, the New Albanv and Vincennes turnnike road from ri; ',. v, .....!:.,'

and bridges over the two branches nflquestion was stated by the Speaker.

White river) and th improvement of the rapids of tho Wabash, to constitute . ,e first class. The Michigan and Erie canal, the Northern division of the Centra! canal, and the rail toad from Edinburgh to Indianapolis, '.y constitue the second class. The southern division of the Central canal, the road from JelTersonville via New Albany to Crawfordsville, the road frm Indianapolis to Lafayette, the metrlng and bridges over White river on the Vincennes and N. Albany road, the Vhit3 water canal from the Matlonai road the month of Nettle creek, and the connexion between the Whitewater canal and the. Central canal to constitute the third class. I further provides that neither of the works in the third class shall be prosecuted until those in tlie first class are completed and the same in relation to tnc third class until tho second are completed: it also authorizes the Fund Commissioners to sell state bonds bearing six per cent, interest either for cash or to persons who will undertake the completion of tlie works. The Wabash canal south of Lafayette, is not providsd for in the bill, from the belief that the stale will acquire sufficient lands from the Genera Government ' , complete it; in that event the committee recommends the entire separation from tho 'System,' and to be prosecuted 33 fast as means are obtained for that purpose. Mr. Morgar, from tho minority of the modification committee, made a report adverse to ?Ik; report of Mr. Jones from tho inajorriy of the same committee, made ?omo uaysr-inee, w hich was accompanied by a bill to molify the system of Internal improvement. This bill provides that the works shall be divided into five classes, as follows: The White Water Canal from Lawrenceburgh to the National Road, and the Madison and Indianapolis Rail Road from Madison to Edinburgh shall constituie tho first class. The New Albany and Vincennes Turnpike, the northern end of tho Central Canal from Indianapolis to Kilbuck summit, includingthe Muncey town feeder, tlie Cross Cut Canal between the Eel river feeder dam and Terre Haute, and the Madison and Indianapolis Rail Road between Edinburgh and Indianapolis, shall constituto tho second clans. The southern division of the JelTersonville and Crawfordsville Road between JelTersonville and Salem, and tho northern division between Greencastle and Crawfi-rdsville, the Indianapolis and Lfay!to road between Crawfordsville and Lafayette, and so much of the northern division of the Central Canal as is not included in the second class, shall constitute tho third clas?. The Erie and Michigan canal shall constitute the fourth class. And all the works not included in either of tho foregoing classes shall constitute the fifth class. The

bill further provides that the fund commissioners shall dispose of the securities taken for State bonds now sold, and apply the

proceed.? to the prosecution ot the worits; and they are also authorized to sell bonds to contractors on the works in payment for labor performed, not to exceed two hun dred thousand dollars, for the year 1811, bearing ( per cent, interest. The House was encaged the whole afternoon oi baturdav in committee of the whole on the bill "to value tlv. property of the State.' and the "bill prescribing the duties ot County Auditor." These are a series of bills which are designed to revolutionize the present mode of assessing and collecting the revenue oi the State. MR. DEFREES' REPORT House of Reps. Dec. 29, 1 8 1 . Th- ' 'owing repoit -aj made by Mr. Defrees from a select committee appointed to inquire into the circumstances and facts in relation to tba decision of the Speaker, by which ceita.m proceedings were taken from the journal of the house on the 10th ult. We publish this report as an act of justice to the Speaker, whose conduct has been grossly misrepresented in this transaction. It has been gravely asserted by letter-writers and others, that the Speaker laid violent hands on the journal and deliberately fore out the proceedings alluded to! We are prepared from our own personal kn6w ledge to say that this is toialily fdlse, and that the circumstances detailed in the report below, are literally and strictly Ore. We have not the shadow of a doubt but 'hat the Speaker acted upon that o'ca-ion without any desire to do violence either tu the constitution or the rights of any individual concerned. la. Journal Mrt. SrK VKhi:: The select committee to whom was refarrrd the preamble and resolution in relation to the proceedings of the house, and thi decision cf the Spfkor thereon with cfc:t; :n instructions, introduced the 8th mst. have given them their consideration and now submit the following REPORT. That, in the d sclnrge of the task assigned them, it is not the.r design to go back to the origin of the trrnsaciion whieh h-.s given so much difficulty the present session of the legislature. They are not required by their instructions to do so, and if they were it is unnecessary, as it is presumed all are infouned in regard to an act unprecedented as it was unjust. The first inquiry presented by the instruction given your committee, is, "did the Speaker of this house invite an appeal from his decision at the time it was made?" To answer this inquiry in the affirmative, it is onlv necessary to take a view of the facts as they occurred previous to, and at the tirne"Vieiui.vd 'n the pteamble and resolution under consideration. On the 10th day of December, inst., Mr. Smydth, of Daviess, offered for sdor-lion a pruAmble and resolution The A motion was made to indefinitely postpone; the ayes and nays were demanded and taken, and the motion was deeided in tlie negative. Mr. Walpole then moved an amendment, and while the motion was pending, it was moved and carried that the resolution and amendmeit lie on the table. On t''3 1 iih inst., a motion was made to reconsider the vote, that the resolution and amendment lie on the table, and such motion to reconrisler was adopted by consent. Pending the question whieh then recurred, that the resolution ami amendmeni lie on the table, Mr. Walpole asked leave to withdraw his amendment which was granted by consent. The question was then put to the Speaker whether the protlings should be withdrawn from the jitrnals? The Speaker took time to consflsr, and some hours afterwards decided that the resolution and amendment beinjr withdrawn, the whole proceedings should be withdrawn from the journal. At the time the Speaker made this decision, he, in dear and express language staled his wish that on account of the difficulty as well as importance of the question, some gen:'eman would take an appeal eo that the house might decide. An appeal was made by two members, a gentleman of the majority, and a gentleman of tlie minority; but the first, Mr. Robinson, stated th;it he was satisfied with the opinion of the chair, and only asked an appeal to gratify the desire of the Speaker. A gentleman of the minority, (Mr. Boon,) then expressed hi o-pi..jB vhutlhe appeal was not necessary, and wag understood also to express his assent to the decision of the Speaker. Upon this suggestion from Mr. Boon, the appeal was withdrawn, and the opinion of the Speaker thus being tacitly assented by all the members, the Speaker directed the Clerk to withdraw the proceedings on Mr. Smydth's resolution from the journal. So soon as this direction was given by the Speaker, a member of the minority, (Mr, enlcy, rose and stated that he would enter his protest against the decision and order of the Speaker. Mr. HenIcy teas present dur,g the whole of the above procedure! Tee promised protest was jnot offered by Mr. enley; but, instead thereof, ;he preamble and resolution under consideration was presented by the gentleman from Orange county, on the 18th inst. A comparison of the above recited facts with the last part of the preamble, will show conclusivelytlMt the preamble does not set forth the truth of the case, as a part of the truth is suppressed. By such suppression great injustice is done the Speaker, inasmuch as by it means are sought to represent his conduct as despotic, when, in fact, he anxiously invited a i

full discussion of the question and an ex - pressionof the will of the house, and on-

ly decided on his own opinion when the ' dinary meaning at the Clerk'e table Rehouse had, after full time for consideration, cording to every day's practice. Almos declined the appeal and assented to that daily, often repeatedly the same day, mo opinion. itions are made and seconded, and are etaThe resolution under consideration de- ted to the Sneaker: whereby according to

nounces the decision of the Speaker as

unwarrameu oy wtu estaoiisneu p-ailia- house; nevertneies? , motions inus amimentary usage, and in direct violation of ted are constantly withdrawn without inthe Dili section of the 3d article of the fiertirn on the iournal. If it is said in

constitution of this state." In order to see whether this denunciation be in the least deserved, it may be well to examine that decision and see how far it is sustained by precedent drawn from the proceedings of the highest legislative assembly in our country, and how far it is sustained by good reason. The constitution of the United States contains a provision requiring "each house of congress to keep a journal of its proceedings," in the same manner as doe9 our constitution. What has been practised under it in congress may be well quoted as good auttiwrity for the government of this house. In the year 1800, under the administration of Mr. Jefferson, a memorial was presented to the Sen ato from certain persons then under conviction for offences committed against the laws of the United States. This memorial reflected strongly on the conduct of tlie President, and its tenor was entered on the journal by the Secretary. On the same day it was, on motion, erased from the journal, and the power of the Sc-.ite to do so was undisputed, because it had the control of its own journal during its session. A similar procedure occurred in the house of congress on the 22d February, 1822. Mr. Randolph of Virginia, learning that Mr. Pickney had that day died in tlie city of Washington, rose and moved that in consequence thereof, as a mark of respect, the hous.? should 32 adjourned until the succeeding day, which motion prevailed and was spread upon the journal. It so happened that Sir. Randolph had been misinformed, and that Mr. Pickney was not dead at tlie time, and on the next day tlie proceedings were erased from the journal. Thus it appears th at tbe p-ecedent first quoted, that even th rejection of a memorial is not such a proceeding as should be placed upon the journal, nnd by the second, that a resolution, after an affirmative action of the house, may be erased from its journals: then, if this be true, and it cannot lie doubted, with what propriety can it be contended that a resolution and amendments withdrawn before they receive the concurrence of the house, should not be also withdrawn from the journal? It cannof be so contended with the least semblance of reaon. Incommenting upon tlie power hith each housi of congress has over it "Tr! journal during its session, it has been properly remarked by a distinguished statesman, that "while the constitution requires each house to keep a journal of its proceedings, it does notdirect how that journal is to be kept. The ma: :r of keeping it, what shall be putupon it, and what not, the nature, the form, die fullness of the entries, are all left for the regulation and control of the body whose duty it is to keep a journal. In these re spects, there is a great diversity of usage among legislative bodies. By some the wrudc bill, when presented for action, is spread on the journal, and by others, on ly the title of the bill is entered. Let us examine the correctness of the decision, aside from the above precedents. The house is required to keep a journal of its proceedings. Courts of record are 'required to keep a record cf their proceedings; Every lawyer well Knows, that when, pending a cause, a plea or demurer is withdrawn, it and the proceedings dependent on it are not entered in the complete record. This undoubtedly is, because, in contemplation of law there is not any proceeding. So in legislative action, if a motion is withdrawn before any affirmative action, it need not appear on the journal, because there lias not been any action by the house; because indeed nothing has been done. This view is in accordance with the rule of the house, that, "before the decision or amendment, the motion may ho withdrawn." Will the refusal of the house to amend, preclude the mover from withdrawing his motion? Assuredly not, for there has not been any amendment. Nevertheless in one sense, there has been a decision. Tire house has decided to refuse the amendment. This example fully illus trates the meaning of the term 'decision,' in the rule. It shows that that word means affirmative action, not a refusal to act the doing something, not the refusal to do a particular thing. In other words until the house has decided to some thing; either to dispose of or to amend the motion, the mover may withdraw it. In the case underconsideration, no amend meat had been made, but the house had refused to postpone the resolution. Is that refusal to postpone, such a decision on the resolution, as brings the case within the rule? Would a refusal to amend bring it within the rule? No, because only an amendment would have that effect. If a refusal to amend is not a de cision, in what is a refusal to postpone different? Wherefore shall the one be deemed not a decision, and the other be deemed a decision? If this view be cor rect, Mr, Smydth's resolution was with out decision and without amendment, and being so. might according to the rule, be withdrawn. What then is intended by the term 'withdraw n, in the rule? We know the meaning of its ordinary aceeption; we kno-w- its meaning, as shown above, ift legal proceeding, rs similar to that in its ordinary acceptance; wherefoTe should its meaning in legislative pro-

(ceedings be different? In all these cases it means to take away; and such is its or-

the rule they are in the possession of the such cases, it is done by unanimous eon sent, we reply, tlut unanimous consent cannot discharge the obligation of the constitution. Tlie constitution does, or does not require the motion lo be journal ized. If it does require it, consent cannot excuse the performance of the duly. Hence we may infer that, according to the uniform practice of trie house, motions previous to decision, arc not deemed proceedings of ttie house if withdrawn. It is thenaked, if an entry on the journal in si,ch case, is not .vqnired by the constitution, whence the practice, if any 6uch there be, whieh requires the consent of all the members to withdraw from the journal the entry made on a motion withdrawn? Where is the rule? There is no rule, and there is no such well-founded practice. In the opinion of the committee, Mr. Smydth's resolution was actually withdrawn from the house, not only from its action, but from itspossession. It ceased to be in the possession of the house. It could not form any part of the journal; and it would be strange indeed, if when the resolution, the - rincipa! is withdrawn, negative proceedings on it, mere attendants, which could have been without it, could remain. Whilst the committee contend that a legislative body, has a complete control over its own journal during it session they want it distinctly understood thai they deprcate the doctrine advanced a few years ago, that a subsequent legislative body can constitutionally 'expunge the proceedings of their predecessors. It can have no control over the journal of the preceding legislature because the very moment of final adjournment, the entries which have received its sanction, become a complete record of its proceedings and cannot be expunged without a violation of the constitution. The committee are instructed to inquiro "whether at the time at which tlie decision was made by the Speaker was not the proper time to test the sense of the house, as to tlie propriety of that decision, by taking an appeal therefrom," and, if so, the failure at this time to take such appeal was not equivalent lo a unanimous acquiescence to the decision of the; Speaker." The committee are of opinion thit, when a decision of a question is made by th e Speaker, the oaly proper course to he pursued by those dissatisfied with it, is to tahe an appeal immediate iv. 1 ailm tn do so at the proper time, the subsequent introduction of a resolution condemnatory of the very decision thus tacitly acquiesced in, cannot, it seems to us.be justified. This applies to ordinary rasp but, the one under consideration is of unusual character, inasmuch as the Speaker expressed doubts himself as to the correctness of his decision and called up . j on the house for an expression of its opinion as above recited. Under such circumstances the introduction of a resolu tion denouncing the decision of the Speaker as unprecedented and in violation of the constitution, must be viewed in no other light than the prompting of dispotition to seek every opportunity, no matter how unjust, to censure the conduct of one who has, in the discharge of hi.5 ofiicial duties, evinced no other feeling than should actuate an individual occupying his elation. Aside from the above arguments in support of the decision made by the Speaker, there is another view of the mai(er which cannot but convince all unbiassed by partizan feeling, that the preamble and resolution undr consideration should not be entertained by this house. It is this: all must admit that, by unanimous consent, the house can control its own journal. When the Speaker expressed his opinion that the proceeding should be withdrawn from the journal, and the house refused to appeal, that refusal amounted to a unanimous consent. Can it be supposed then that the house will now condemn the Speaker for its own ac tion, as in fact the decision complained of i ,vas made tlie act of the house, by its conetiirencc therein. The commute then, conceiving the decision of the Speaker to have been eorrect, especially when acqu esced in by the house and because the preamble suppressp? several facts attending that decision, with a view of setting the Speaker i- a falso position before the country, and because the resolution wrongfully denounces that decision, as a violation of the constitution, it is the opinion of the committee that they are unworthy the regard of the house and should be rejected. Pretty Fair. A London paper says that a Yankee has offered Congress to build ships of India rubber, containing more valuable properties than eithtr wooden or iron vessels. Congress is said to have thrown every discouragement in his way, fearing that in sailing across the line, the ships may rub it out! Scandal. A Mr. Filzpatrick recovered the sum of 10 damages at Boston last week, of a Mrs. McCIean. for havin? sard "that such a likely man as Mr. Fitzpatnek ought to be ashamed of himself for marrying Mrs. Fitznafrick. when sh knew she had been too familiar with John uorretv."
