Strated that cm prosperity m3 future hopes depend upon its prosecution, ?cd althoug h we cannot officially participate In the work, we can exert a moral

influence and strengthen the hands of the laborers in the cause, by an expression of efcr approbation of suitable occasions. There are. however, within the tange of duties and within the scope of powers delegated to us, many important obiecls to be accomplished, auxill iary to the general system, and essential to a full participation in its benefits For years to come we must be an agricultural people, and the surplus produce of the country must be transcorted bevond the confines of the State to find a market. It is obvious then, that while the general government is preparing the great national thoroughfares, and creating consumption by fostering manufactures, it is our interest and duty faithfully and economically to apply the means placed at our control by the national government, to their legitimate objects, and to exert ourclves to call into requisition the latent resources and the energies of the State, to improve our rivers, and by making lateral roads and canals, to facilitate the conveyance of the various commod itiei of our State. It was the opinion of 6oma who were actors id the eventful struggles of the revelutin,and who assisted in framing the Federal Constitution, that any at tempt to disciplin the whole body of the tmhtia ot the L mon would be "as futile as it would prove injurious.1 But notwithstanding tht verification ot this opinion, and the price we have paid for our lessens of experience on that sabject. we still prosecute the plan by calling fifty thousand of our citizens from their pursuits as destitute of a knowledge of toe science as before. In my opinion, if at all attainable, the design is too gigantic to be accomplished under state auspices; and until the general government, to which it properly belongs, shail take the subject into hand, and adopt some general system that will lessen the burthens of the country by reducing the numbers, and that will equalize the service throughout the States, without' oppression to any, and ensure iniformity and concert, we can never hope for an efficient militia. But in thn adoption of a substitute, care should be observed that the States are not deprived of any of their attributes of sovereignty, and that the Inilitia thus organized should be the militia of the states and not of the national government. It is important to the future growth and prosperity of Indiana, that the remaining Indian title to lands within her borders should be speedily extinguished. In several remote parts of our teritory, counties have been laid off with flourishing and rapidly increasing settlements, between which and the seat of government are large bodies of these lands. The expenses attending the extension of our civil jurisdiction over these remote and detached settlements. and of affording the protection of out lews to our citizens, is greatly enhanced, while we are deprived of the advantages that would accrue from the settlement of the intermediate country, by giving a noithicn and eastren direction to a portion of our commerce. With that object alone in view, it should be a favorite measure with us to obtain an extinguishment of these titles. Next in importance to the establishment of government upon the principles of equality and justice, and the enactment of wise avid wholesome laws is the principle, that government ehoPd be administered cheaply. Heavy exactions may countervail" all its advantages. Knowing as I do, that many of our citizens encounter difficulty in meeting the assessment under our present revenue laws, I shall be an advocate of the most rigid economy in puhlic expenditure consistent with public! duty. But 10 long as we have annually to provide for the wants of the in-1 flux of population by organizing a new teritory, indeed, until the extensive terilory in the North is brought under eur jurisdiction we cannot promise ourselves a diminution of the present rate of taxation, for state purposes. At a crisis, and with an opportunity, tike the present, it may be expected 1 will bestow a passing remark on the -object ofSUlcs Rights," that fruitful theme for dtclama.Lr , excitements and I might add, self aggrandisement in certain sections of the V nion. Hav ing no Inducement to conceal my sentiment on ay topic of the kind, I will observe, that I am a strenuous advocate for the constitutional sovereignty, the distinctive independence of the States, arid whilst 1 am honored with a share la 0 admie ration of public affairs, , J will not tamely or silently overlook any cnaroachment upon the rights reserved to the States, by the Federal Constitution. But whilst 1 am thus explicit, I must aLo aver, that, after an examination of the subject, I entertain fn-f pioli4aliea from the en

ctetib of the riational legislature, neither have I been able to detect the

least infringement upon the rights of the States, from smexersise of the disputed powers, to discover any of the ahedgd evils flowing to any portion of the Union, or any thing to justify the menaces offered the authority of the Federas Government. It should be remember ed, that, in the integrity of the Union consists our glory and strength, and up on its continuance depend our peace, prosperity and happiness as a nation It isdangerousto trifle with such thing?, and he who "enfeebles the sacred lies that bind together the various parts," or openly sqeaks oi dissevering the Union by resisting its authority, incurs a fearful responsibility-. It is strange, that those who are so tenacious o! uStatc Rights," and so extremely sen sitive of what thev denominate "viola tion of the Federal Constitution," as to be blind to the dangers of the opposite extreme, add in their over-zealous ef. feet to vindicate the constitution, man ifest so litle regard for that which the constitution was designed to preserve the Union of the States. We all know, gentlemen, that the violent contest for power, under Fed eral authority, waged the last halt doz' en years, has turned out to be little else than a mere scuffle for office, and in reviewing the part we have each ta ken, no doubt we will all have much to regret. That tranquility and repose may be restored to society and harmony pervade the councils of the Slate. so far as example on my part will accomplish the desirable objects, I am resolved, that in my official course, and in the disposition of the patronage at tached to the executive.no trace of par ty shall be fo'ind, nor shall my politic al friends induce the injury to approach me with the argument, that this or that individual, was or was not, recently in my support. My aspirations shall he for the good of my fellow citizens alh and so far as 1 have been mace to leel the smart of this party violence, its influence is now a stranger to my bo som, and shall be lost to my memory Allow me gentlemen, Senators and Representatives, to urge upon your con sideration the importance of a mutual cultivation of harmonr and good feeling in all our intercourse, and on my part I now pfftr you the assurance that frankness and undistinguished friend ship shall mark my course, and that I wili ha c the returning period and greet your coming toother, that we may annually mingle our councils aud unite our etiorts lor the common good. in presenting subjects for the de liberation of the Legislature-1 trust rm suggestions will be made in the spirit of the constitution, as the advice of one who from his official situation is bound to know and understand 'public con cerns; and I only ak that they mav receive a candid examination at your hands. And in the discharge of all ex ecutive duties it shall be my desire to to preserve all the barriers to en croachments on the other departments, to refrain from an abuse of executive privaleges and to avoid any calculated to loosen those restraints imposed by of ticial propriety. Whilst conforming to these cuMnes, in my efforts to bo useful, n ill tae aid and friendly couatenanc. of grave Senators be awarded ni2?nd s'mll I enjoy theapprovirgsupport ofworthy Repre sentatives t if so, Iemhaiii cheerfully and without dread of consequences in my official career. MR. WALLACE'S INAUGURAL. Gentlemen of the Senate) About to enter upon scenes, and to engage in the performance of dune, which to me are entirely new and untried, I cannot but express td you in the spirit 'of frankness the feeling of trepidation, with which I approach them. l imited as is my knowledge ot the business of legislation, yet am 1 sufficiently advise i-, that there lies before me in the path . on which du'v will prescribe, difuculues and trial? of such character, that nothing but a peculiar combination cf talent, information and experie-.ee on my part can enable me successfully to encounter and subdue them. True it is not in the conflicts or interest, the salies of wit or the se verer struggles of intellect, which, form the very nature of thir gs, must he con stantly rising here, cither to enliven or disturb the tranquility of the passing scene, that 1 am to participate: the station I am called to, places me, as it were, above them. 1 am required to watch their rise and progress with an eye of impartia l y, and above all, to dischage the most difficult duties, tie duty of preserve -r peaCe between the opposing elcmei of bringing harmony out of confusion, and of restoring order where it shall have ben violated. That I shall be able on all occasion, and at all times to do this to the entire satisfaction of all or eveti a majority of you I, have not vanity enough to believe. Vrtr ran I h norciiadrt iti 111 a .Jn,!. sion, that the duties of the chair arc

abouf failing into abler handa, as has

been but too flatteringly observed by the honorable gentleman who has himself for the last three yean discharged them with so much distinction and ec lat. If at the expiration of my erm of! service I shall be able to bear along vrith me, as I know he does, the approbation and the best wishes of this honorable Senate, my ambition will be more than gratified; fori shall then have achieved that which I dare not now even anticipate. Seeing that I am surrounded by those who have been called here by the same voice, who arc clothed with the same or similar responsibilities; who are unanswerable to the same tribunal that I am, for errors in judgment and cannot, 1 cannot but indulge in the pleasing expectation that this similarity of situation, will tend to create a fellowship of feeling between us, which while it may have boldness to condemn, will yet have charity enough to for give. While, therefore, I am confessing that none will perhaps have more fre quent occasion to draw on this charitable fund than myself, may I be permitted to express a hope, that the angryspirit of contention so often engender ed in the heat and tumult of political strife, may not be suffered to find an abiding place within these walls. Indeed have not our constituents a right to expect this at your hands? and could you possibly famish them with a more gratifying spectacle? For then, no mailer how violent mayr be the storm. no matter how severe the conflicts of party without, here, there would, at least, be a haven of peace -a quiet anchorage a calm bright sunny fpot, on which the eve of the patriot could rest with delight, and is? the fulness of conscious security he c aid proclaim that all was safe ery safe. Indeed, standing a? I H , in the midst of so many of t'v Trainers of the constitution; a circumstance no less remar kable than it is grati tying, sonic of whom have grown grey m tho business of legislation who have been kindly permitted by Providence to live on to see and enjoy the fruits of their labors; who can, therefore have no other am bition to gratify than to demonstrate the purity of their intentions, the wis dom ol their plans, and to leave to pos terity a legacy worth vol remembrance who from past experience must have learned the necessity of excluding all political strifes and heart-burnings. liom the deliberations of this body Knowing this, seeing this, have I not a right to expect, that they, together v iih all others, will unite with me la the resolve and the declaration of it; that ordsr, decorum, and a strict adhcrance to rules, so far as we are capable, must and shall he observed by the Senate Whatever may be my errors, in con ducting the business of the Senate, 1 have the consolation to reflect that it will be in your power to correct many ot thttw. In doing this, however, 1 sliall neither ask your pity nor your commiseration i I feci that I am above it. On the contrary, I shall expect yrou freely, frankly, and independently to do your duty, while 1 shall c ndeavor to do mine.
